VOL. XXVI.NO. 13 The Niagara Movement Dubois Reelected General Secretary—Women Admitted—Ransom Barber, McGee and DuBois Delivered Great Addresses—Address to Country Scores Republicans—Action for Fourteenth Amendment Urged—Ballot declared Indispensable. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., August 16. With an enthusiastic gathering that filled the large auditorium of Anthony Hall, Storer College, at Harpers Ferry, the Second Annual Meeting of the nigra Movement, an organization of Negro men and women, whose object is to secure full civil and political equality, was opened last night, many well-known negroes from various parts of the country occupying seats on the platform. Professor Henry T. McDonald, president of the Storer College, in an address of welcome, said that it was fitting for the college to welcome an organization which believed that the human mind should be unlimited in its equipment, and that as men made in age of God, the negro race should special rights. He said just a little und of his voice was struck the low for universal liberty in America "a blow pissant injustice struck in the spirit of Job, Israel." J. R. Cliff of Pittsburgh, W. Va.

The people who would work as inst the faces of negro manhood." The singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "John B. Johnson's Body," by the audience standing—Associated Press Dispatch. Thus began the Niagara Movements' four days' session at the place where John Brown made his great and noble sacrifice for the slaves. All day Wednesdays each train brought delegates and visitors until the ample dormitories of Storer College were filled. Reports of State Secretaries. The reports of State secretaries the next morning in a public meeting, showed that much work had been done organizing, holding public meetings, contending against local infringement of rights, opposing national and State appropriations to the Jamestown Exposition, securing the elimination of the Warner-Foraker Amendment to the Rate Bill, co-operating with the New England and Boston Suffrage League, the Georgia Equal rights Association, the Constitution League and with other local bodies. The report of State secretaries C. E. Bentley, of Illinois; Geo. W. Mitchell, Esq. of Pennsylvania; Rev. Byron Gunner, of Rhode Island, L. M. Hershaw, of the District of Columbia; Dr. O. M. Waller, of New York, and C. G. Morgan, Esq. of Mass, were especially strong. Mr. Morgan explained the contest against the Warner-Foraker amendment, the bearing of the Hart case in Maryland on interstate travel. His narration of the work of the Niagara men in that contest brought great apause. Niagara Night. Thursday night, Niagara Night, witnessed another large and enthusiastic public meeting in Anthony Hall, Professor Wm. H. Richards, of Washington, D.C. presided. The speakers were J. Max Barber, of Atlanta, Ga., editor of the Voice of the Negro; Fred L. McGhee, Esq. of St. Paul, State secretary for Minnesota; W. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, Mass., editor of the Guardian, and Rev. Byron Gunner, of Newport, State secretary for Rhode Island. The reception accorded the sepkakers amount to an ovation. Mr. Barber spoke on the "Reckoning of Vesteryear," in a notable address to the "Friends of Freedom." He dwelt on the effort of the movement to break the grasp of greed and selfishness, and to strengthen the moral fibre of race and nation. He declared the movements' first declaration marked the opening of the epoch of self-assertion, that in arriving at the present understanding between white North and white South, they called in as the "third person of the trinity," the colored "peace plenipotentiaries," who got money and newspaper notoriety, while the rest of the race "got it in the neck." (Applause.) He claimed that more than all the movement has given the negro people fresh courage, and has sown the seeds ```markdown ``` of "divine discontent," in the race. In a peroration of great power he indulged in an optimistic prophecy regarding the Pan-American League, the "far-famed child-of the Niagara Movement." McGhee's Speech Frederick L. McGhee, Esq., of St. Paul, Minn., Stat secretary and a leading lawyer of the northwest, delivered a short oration of great eloquence which deeply stirred the audience, in which he declared the Niagara Movement was an effort to have an organization of colored Americans which stood up squally and contended for full and equal rights with all other Americans. He scorned the notion that the movement had come too soon, and declared it unworthy for the colored people to be slothful in contending for these principles for which John Brown gave his life at Harpers Ferry. (Applause.) He especially condemned mere lip service, and called upon Niagara members to show their sincerity by sacrifice. Trotter Lives Miss Pope's Suit. Mr. W. M. Trotter, editor of The Guardian, enlisted to show how the movement had lived along the lines of its platform, for recognition of the high- and best training of the monopoly of class or race, for manhood suffrage, or wise and courageous leadership as shown in Prof. D. D. Crompton of all casts distributions based on race and color, Jamesetown fight, northern color votes to secure rights for women would find opposition in securing general money and northern corporations. In closing he expressed pleasure at the presence of Miss Barbara Pope, of Washington, who had recently been fined for violation of the Virginia separate our law while an interstate passenger. He hoped the movement would assist her in her appeal. (Applause.) Miss Pope was present by request. Rev. Byron Gunner, State secretary for Rhode Island, made humorous hits by giving various meanings to "N. M." using the blackboard. One meaning was "Never (surrender) Manhood." He declared that the agitation for liberty was won. Mr. Lewis Douglass, son of Erickler Douglass, was given an ovation when the chairman referred to him, as one who had known John Brown. At John Brown's Fort Friday, "John Brown's Day," began with an early morning pilgrimage to the John Brown Fort. Rev. O. M. Wailer, barefoot in true pilgrim style, led the column out to the farm on which the relic now stands. After a prayer, Hon. Richard T. Greener, as one who had known Brown, was the orator. He gave an able and interesting survey of the change of white opinion since the days after the war, and narrated the numerous incidents connected with Brown's life in Boston. At the end all went into the sacred edifice and sang "John Brown's Body," and marched single file around the fort singing the same song. Meeting, in honor of John Brown, with Professor DuBois and Rev. R. C. Ransom, of Boston, as the orators. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. T. J. Brown, of Washington, D. C., and W. J. Carter, Esq., of Harrisburg, Pa., presided. Raymond Murray, son of Editor Murray, rendered "Fear Ye Not," as a cornet solo. Prof. DuBois received an ovation. He gave an analytical study of the whole question of slavery, and the causes of its growth in a scholarly address. He said John Brown's cause could only be understood by realizing that he came of old New England Puritan stock, where the home was the sacred unit. Brown noted as a boy that slavery destroyed the home. He was one of the men who went straight to the goal when duty called him. His methods were in the ordinary sense illegal and violent, but their severity saved Kansas to freedom and forecasted the result of the Civil War. As to the Harpers Ferry Raid, John Brown originally planned to use the mountains as a rendervous for runaway slaves, thence to escape in bands to Canada. But his plans miscarried. Finally in desperation he struck a last blow for freedom. Ransom's Great oration. Then came Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the Charles Street A. M. E. Church, Boston, Mass., whom the chairman introduced as the "thunderer." His speech was a rare masterpiece of argument and exposition, a classic of effective and convincing oratory. The large audience aplauded him to the echo, the aplause frequently interrupting the speaker for several minutes. When he closed the audience stood up in pro GROUP OF MEMBERS OF THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT IN AT- TENDANCE AT HARPER'S FERRY, 1906. HIS ACCUSERS "HE THAT IS WITHOUT FAULT CAST THE FIRST STONE." WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, who has been pastor of Shiloh Baltist Church for 15 years, has been troubled from time to time with offenses that could not be sustained. Some few days ago the enemies in his church, who have for a number of years endeavored to misrepresent him to the congregation, succeeded in getting a woman to file charges against him to the church. The woman was cited to apear before the church and make her charges. Rev. Taylor was represented by Attorney Thomas L. Jones, who brought from the witness that she made an affidavit exonerating Rev. Taylor and subsequently made another affidavit repudiating the first. Attorney Jones asked her why she made the second affidabit. She said that a typewritten letter was brought to her and she was forced to sign it; that she signed it against her will and at the very time she knew that it was not true. HIS ACCUSERS HIS ACCUSERS. It was discovered at this church trial movers against Rev. Taylor were libertines and men who had been convicted GROUP OF M TENDANCE in the police court. One principal witness and investigator is a man who was convicted in the police court and fined twenty dollars for assaulting a white woman. Another is a man who visited a certain hotel on Pennsylvania avenue, N. W., with a young single woman and registered as man and wife and used the name of a prominent color* attorney. These are only a few of the characters who instituted the charges against Rev. Taylor. The church members, that is, nineteenth of them, will demand the recall of Rev. Taylor. Certain other conditions have arisen since the resignation of Rev. Taylor that convinced the people that their pastor is a victim of a conspiracy. A few evenings ago certain men in the church called the male memebrs together and ignored the females. This week about six hundred women met and decided to call a church meeting and demand the recall of Rev. Taylor and the expulsion of certain men who have violated the recent orders of the church. The opposition to Rev. Taylor consists—or it is claimed—of four or five men whose reputations can not stand the searchlight. Attorney Jones says that he is prepared to show the conspiracy and the characters of the men BEE ITEMS ON THE WING. Recent events have demonstrated that right will predominate. Certain unpleasantness which started in 1896 is arriving at a focus. The parties who started the fight knew all along that the status of the whole was N. G. Yet by allowing nigerism, predominated by petty meanness, they forced the issue. There are lots of men walking the streets of Washington wearing K. T. charms, and others that don't know or practice the first principle of the Order. In the near future some interesting reading matter will appear in pamphlet form. The white Masons of the United States have contended all along that the great mistake made by the colored Masons of the United States was severing its relations with the Grand Lodge of England by failing to pay its dues.

No more important duty ever confronted the people of a new country than that devolving on the members of the Constitutional convention of Oklahoma. In the New State we alve three races equally interested in the Constitution and the organization of the first VEMENT IN AT- Y, 1906. government. To a greater extent than homa. In the New State we have three races are alike owners of the soil, and and what is beneficial to one race must be beneficial to the others, unless a determined and willful disposition to discriminate is permitted to prevail. Men should be selected as members of the Constitutional convention who will be fair and just to all. The interests of the red man is as much entitled to protection as is the interest of the white man, and the interest of the black man should have the same safeguards as those of any other race. Men should be sent to the Constitutional convention big enough and broad enough to do justice to all regardless of race or color and they should be big enough and broad enough to resist the plea of those blinded by race prejudice for must discrimination. The New State will be as great as its people make it and no greater. If narrow minded partisanship and petty politics of peanut politicians be permitted to dominate the Constitution then the State will lose much in prestige and much in development. If the constitution be framed by statesmen rather than by politicians and on the high plaine of statesmanship looking to the welfare of the whole people then will it be the best of the kind ever produced and forty-five States will point to it and say, "When we amend our Constitution let it be on the lines of the great Wanted at The Bee Office—Two or three collectors.

Do you want extra trade! Read and advertise in THE BEE! What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard * There will be some disappointments in the schools. The new superintendent will make several changes in the personnel of all the schools. Rumor has it that Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruee of Tuskegee, Ala., will succeed Mrs. Cooper in the High School. There is some misunderstanding in the Armstrong Manual Training School. Just what the outcome will be I am unable to say. Nothing is more surprising to the people than the action of the administration in withdrawing the colored troops from Texas. It only demonstrates what I have often said. The administration is against the negro and always has been. I am in favor of abolishing all organizations among the colored people of a political nature. Not one amounts to anything. I have never known a political organization among colored people to unite on anything. There is some virtue in benevolent associations colored people. I understand that the baby is born and that it is very light. The eyes of the congregation are opened and the preacher is vindicated. When a preacher writes to any school authorities telling them that a female is unfit to teach, he should be clean himself. The Methodist minister who wrote to Rockville, Md., against a young woman who was seeking employment will have an opportunity to explain it. It is hoped that reports concerning him are not true. There are several teachers in the schools who have not as yet been appointed for reasons best known to the school authorities. I attended the show at the Majestic last Tuesday evening. There is a moral in the play and it is a knock-out blow to the Clansman. Bob Cole, the author of the Shoofly Regiment, is a man of genius. Register Vernon will find out in a few weeks who his friends have been. Snakes generally stay under cover when they are watched. My genial friend, J. Douglass Wetmore, has been in the city all the week. He has an interest in the Shoo-Fly Regiment and no doubt suggested some thoughts to the author concerning Southern conditions. Mr. Wetmore is a real man and a Southern blood. Attorney James A. Cobb is a thoroughbred. There is nothing under cover with him. Quite a number of special teachers will be dropped from the rolls. The new superintendent is of the opinion that a change is necessary. I have no faith in a colored man who marries a white woman for the purpose of going in second-class white society. I am acquainted with several colored men who have made some money by virtue of being colored, and are more prejudiced against their own people than the most prejudiced white. Fairplay. SHE HAD TO PAY. A very important decision affecting the interests of employment agents doing business in this city was rendered by Justice R. H. Terrell, in Judge Mill's Court, last Friday morning. The case was the Eureka Employment Exchange vs. Mrs. Elizabeth McCauley, of Columbia road, brought by Mr. J. T. C. Newsm, of the Eureka Employment Exchange, for the payment of the fee of the employer. Sometimes ago Mr. Newsm, upon the written order of Mrs. McCauley, furnished her a cook, and later applied for the payment of the fee. The fee was refused by Mrs. McCauley, who denied having written the postal. Notwithstanding this, she employed the servant, who was still at that time in her employ. The servant testified that she had applied with the official card of the Eureka Exchange and informed the lady that she was from the office. The case was tried and under section of the new regulating employment offices, which fixes the fee to which employment agents are entitled for furnishing help, and decided in favor of the plaintiff.

Coal Easily Heads-List—Clay Products and Limestone Next in Importance According to Figures of Geologist. Chicago.—The annual production of the mineral wealth of Illinois has been compiled by the state and government geological surveys. It has been found that in 1905 the state produced a total of $57,989,000 in minerals. Of this $39,754,000 was coal. Clay products and limestone come next to coal in importance. Other useful decorations from home minerals are sandstone, Portland cement, natural rock cement, fluorspar, mineral spring water, spelter, lead ore, glass sand and molding sand. One startling thing discovered in all this research, according to E. B. Van Horn, in the Mining World, is the decrease in the amount of spring water sold. At one time there was water to the amount of $3,038,000 sold from springs in Illinois. In 1905 this dropped to $44,000. The explanation is that resorts have been founded at the different springs and the water is used for bathing purposes and not sold in the market. The production of Portland cement, which is becoming one of the most important factors in building, is increasing. On this question Mr. Van Horn says: "The output of Portland cement for 1905 was 1,545,500 barrels, valued at $1,741,150. In 1907, 1,326,704 barrels, with a value of $449,114, were produced. The natural rock cement was valued at $138,557 in 1905, as compared with $113,000 in 1904. There are four concerns manufacturing Portland cement only, three manufacturing natural rock cement and one making both Portland and slag cement. The output of slag cement is included with the figures for the natural rock cement. A new Portland cement plant is building at Dixon, Ill." Lead mines in the state are not important, but the fact that this metal is produced is interesting. The forthcoming report will say on this point: "A small amount of lead ore is mined in northwestern Illinois, and a little of it is reduced in a local furnace near Galena. The bulk of the lead smelted in the state, however, comes from Alton, where the Federal Lead company has a large modern plant. It is run mainly on ores from Missouri, particularly the southeastern part of the state. Since there is only the one producer it is impracticable to give the output for Illinois separately." The increase in Illinois coal production from 1833 to the present year is graphically illustrated in a bulletin of the state survey, which says: "In the last 25 years the production of the state has increased 519 per cent. If the same rate of increase continues for another quarter of a century the annual production then will be approximately 135,000,000 short tons. The production for the last ten years has increased at even a more rapid rate, amounting to 113 per cent. "At this rate a production of 80,000,000 tons will be reached in ten years, or approximately 280,000,000 tons in 25 years. This is about the amount of bituminous coal now mined and sold in the whole of the United States. It is impossible to say what the future rate of increase will in fact be, but these figures are at least serious possibilities and the production undoubtedly will increase rapidly for many years to come. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS GROW. Interstate Commerce Commission Reports Increase In Casualties. Washington. — Eighteen thousand persons were killed, crippled and otherwise injured in railroad accidents during the period ending March 31, 1906. These are the figures given out in the quarterly casualty report of the interstate commerce commission. They show that 17 more were killed in the first quarter of 1906 than in the last period of 1905 and that 52 more were injured. The report severely criticises the careless American disregard of human life and urges the substitution of electricity for men in the management and control of trains. Of the total number of casualties during the period covered by the report 1,126 were killed and 17,170 infured. These were caused by 3,490 accidents, including 1,921 collisions and 1,569 derailments. The money damage amounted to $2,924,785. 287,113 Pupils In Chicago. Chicago.—In the annual report compiled by Secretary Larson, of the board of education, it is shown that the total enrollment of children in the public schools of the city for the year ending June 30, 1906, was 287.113. This is an increase of 4,767 over the enrollment in 1905, and, according to Secretary Larson, is a sign of the increasing population of the city. Yankees to Build Big Bridge. London.—The contract for the building of a big bridge in Egypt has been secured by an American firm, the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering company. The bridge is to be of the rolling elevator type, and is for the harbor of Port Sudan. It will be the second largest of the kind in the world. Not I7 The Trust PURITY ICE CO.

New York.—Joseph Murphy, proprietor of a roadhouse in the Bronx, is said by veracious citizens of the vicinity to have suffered financial loss through the misplaced intellectual efforts of his green parrot Jemmah. The bird had to be disposed of because it ordered too many drinks at Mr. Murphy's bar. According to neighborhood report, and Mr. Murphy reluctantly confirms the tale, a parrot pronounced to be bright and quick to learn, was given to Mr. Murphy. The bird, which was hung on the veranda where the thirsty are served, made good his reputation by learning the names of the drinks the waiters called through the open windows to the professor behind the mahogany. The wise bird could distinguish a horse's neck from a mint julep within three weeks. It was when Jemilmah began to call out the order for drinks on her own hook that trouble began. "Scotch highball and two up." Jemilmah would exclaim in the midst of a hurry of orders. The bartender would set out the drinks, ring up the check, then find that it was "on the house." This grew monotonous and so surphy gave the bird to a friend whose wife is a member of the local Woman's Christian Temperance union. PLAN FEDERAL FEMALE PRISON. Government May Rally All in One Great Institution. Leavenworth, Kan.—It is the plan of the department of justice to build here within a short time a prison to be devoted entirely to the keeping of government female prisoners, and Gen. Cecil Clay, special agent of the department, and Architect T. C. Young, of St. Louis, who are at the United States penitentiary making an inspection, are said to be looking over the land of this prison for a site. If one is built it will be directly west of this immense institution, and, perhaps, under the same head, but this has not been decided. The government has in all no less than 200 female prisoners held for violation of the federal laws. These are confined for the most part in state penitentiaries, in states where their crimes have been committed and are being paid for out of funds set aside for this purpose. The cost is about 50 cents a day and it is thought they can be more cheaply and satisfactorily confined if in a government institution. At one time it was planned to confine all female lawbreakers in one cellhouse of the federal penitentiary here, but this has been changed, as it was not thought this would be a suitable arrangement and would be detrimental to discipline. --- water.

MILES PREDICTS WORLD WAR. Former Army Head Declares Panama Canal Will Bring Conflict. Philadelphia.—Gen. Nelson A. Miles, former commander in chief of the United States army, said that the opening of the Panama canal would, in his opinion, be a step toward a war in the future. "If war does come," he said, "it will be a struggle for supremacy between the United States and the powers of the world." Gen. Miles admitted that the struggle he foresees will not come for some time. But it is certain sooner or later as the clash of commerce becomes keener. In such a war the United States would have to struggle single-handed against the world. An increased army and navy would not avail much, he says. South American trade is the bone over which the powers will contend and the canal's opening will force us into the arena. 18-HOUR DAY ON MILK DIET. Half-Breed Hercules Drinks Two Quarts While at Work. Brattleboro, Vt.-Joseph Moss, a French and Indian half-breed, works 18 hours daily, and says that it makes him "dopey" to sleep more than two hours and a half in one night. Ignoring union conventions and precedent, Moss accepts less instead of more than regular compensation for overtime. Because of his unusual strength, he carries a hod made especially for him, his loads averaging 100 pounds. He is paid 30 cents an hour for the nine-hour day and 25 cents an hour for overtime. Moss wears his hair, which falls below his shoulders, in a twist beneath his hat. He pauses in his work every forenoon to drink two quarts of milk, which is brought to him by a milkman. The incone of Moss from "carrying the hod" is said to exceed the salary of the county treasurer. Substitute for Celluloid. Vlenna.—A young Bohemian chemist at Gablong has discovered a substitute for celluloid, much cheaper and without any of its dangerous properties. The new substance is elastic, entirely noninflammable, and an excellent material for working. By a simple process articles made from it can be given a high and lasting polish. It is said to keep its color alike in sun or water. United States, Paid Germany; Berlin.—The United States government has paid Germany the award of $20,000 in the Samoan case. Great Britain paid her damages in the spring and the matter is therefore settled. --- IF YOU WANT A PLACE To Board ADVERTISE HOLME'S Hotel 333 V. Ave., S. W.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet CHINA READY FOR WAR ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW EMPEROR EXPECTED SOON. Reign of Terror Predicted for Celestial Empire—Only One Good-Army in Country—Serious Flaws of Soldiers. Peking.—China is a volcano. Close observers not in Peking, because Peking is not the place to get the real news concerning China, but foreigners long resident in the interior, in Shantung and Chill, put the explosion nine years hence. Educated Chinese bring it nearer. For the present, however, the American in China is as secure as he would be in his home in the United States. It is well understood in official and other circles that it is useless to kill foreigners. There is a general running after foreign things and foreign ways. Men having foreign training are in demand. The same men had to run for their lives in "boxer" times. At the same time there is anxiety to shake off foreign control of everything—partly from a new feeling of national pride and partly from a desire to keep the good things for the Chinese. Misgivings for the future are based on fear of an antidynastic rising, probably on the part of the radicals. This would become partly anti-foreign and in any case would mean anarchy. There are a great many "armies" in China, but the only one that counts is Yuan Shi Kal's "northern army." The Chinese are raising /big horses somewhere in Mongolia for the ultimate use of the army, and hope to remount their cavalry in about four years. Of the other arms the men are smart and the recent spring maneuvers were most creditable. There are serious flaws in the army. The Chinese soldiers will blaze away blank cartridges in fine style, but they are not trained to shoot. Target practice is rare. It is doubtful if the men would follow their officers except to the rear, and it is doubtful if the officers would go anywhere else. The "American boycott" never seriously affected the interior. A few items of United States imports came into the interior in smaller quantities pro tem. It was a question for the ports, particularly those in the south. The Shanghai riots were purely local and magnified by Shanghai hysteria. A serious question is the educational one, which gives rise to the "young China" movement. This is founded on conceit, the basis of Chinese student character. They are about one-quarter educated and think their education is complete. NEVER SAW A RAILROAD. Virginia Youth Ventures Forth or First Tour and Sleeps in Jail as a Result. Cleveland, O. — Oelrid Troy, 18 years of age, Carroll county, Virginia, long and lean and as innocent as tall, spent the other night at the Central police station. Until a recent morning Oelrid had never seen a railroad train. All of the 18 years of his life had been spent on a farm in the back part of Carroll county; but, after Oelrid's father died and his mother became ill, four years ago, things began to break bad at the farm and soon there was a heavy mortgage in sight. A chance seemed to offer itself in the way of a job proffered to Oelrid by his cousin in Ohio, and it was then that Oelrid made the long journey from his home to the nearest railroad station, and started on his still longer journey to his cousin's home in Ohio. As near as Oelrid could remember, that cousin lived in a place called Rich Hill, somewhere in Ohio; but he lost the card bearing the address, and is not now sure where his cousin lives. The police gave Oelrid a bed at the station. Oelrid had spent his last cent on street car fare, and was wandering almlessly about the streets, his baggage under his arm, when a kind-hearted citizen's attention was attracted to his forlorn appearance. The man brought the bey to the station, and Oelrid was glad to stay there all night. DOG KEEPS SMILING NOW. Scranton Beagle Has a Gold Tooth, and Is Proud of it. Wilkesbarre, Pa. — Dr. Fred S. Birchard, of Scranton, has a dog with a solid gold tooth. The dog is proud of it. The animal is a valuable English beagle. A few days ago, noticing that one of its front teeth was very much decayed, Dr. Birchard took the dog to a dentist friend. The dentist suggested that the best thing to do was to insert a gold tooth. "I'll do it now," said the dentist, who is a great lover of animals. The operation took a little more than half an hour. All that time the intelligent animal laid back in his master's arms, submitting with an occasional whine of pain. Now it sports about with its fine gold tooth, a curiosity for all the small boys of the community. Old Coach a Colonial Bellc Antrim, N. H.—Melvin D.

Quite likely the colored voters and other good colored citizens have gotten enough of this administration. About two years ago or prior to the nomination of the present incumbent of the White House, The Bee stated that he was no friend to the colored American. At that the colored voter, as he generally does, was crying his eyes out of his head because The Bee declared that he ought not to be nominated. There was not a colored man, with but a few exceptions, in the United States who would say a word against the President. The colored Americans are thoroughly convinced and especially those who formerly declared for him, that Mr. Roosevelt's declarations in behalf of the colored man meant nothing. Thousands of them think as The Bee thinks today that the present administration is imical to their interest. What can the colored man hope for now? It was cowardly on the part of the administration to have yielded to the wishes of the two Democratic Senators from the State of Texas. Those colored soldiers belonged to the United States. Any other government but the United States would have turned those colored soldiers loose and permitted them to protect themselves. Those Texas rouges would have been taught a lesson. The entire State of Texas with several surrounding States included, could not have defeated those colored troops. The Bee is not surprised at anything Mr. Roosevelt does. His administration is made up of small men, with but a few exceptions. Nobody will weep when it passes out of existence. Thank God, within a few months this administration will pass out of existence. It will go down in history as the most spectacular affair that ever came into existence. The colored Republican South is almost eliminated from Southern politics. He will be a small spot in the next national Republican convention. No man is more disgusted with this administration than the man who is able to think for himself. This man has enough. WHAT HAS BEEN THE EFFECT? We have had a National Christian Congress to assemble in this city and from that congress was issued a declaration of principles. We had oratory of the highest character and oratory greatly displayed, and what has been the effect? You hear no more of the Congress and you can't hear an echo from its declaration of principles. Last week the Great Niagara Movement met at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and it issued a declaration of principles. It was rumored that this movement intended to move heaven and earth and to the surprise of many it did no more than the recent congress that convened in this city. In October the Afro-American Council will have a war dance in the City of New York. It will issue a declaration of principles or an address to the country. This Council has been issuing addresses to the country for seven years and if anyone will point out just one thing that it has accomplished, The Bee will present the person a medal of honor. Both the Congress and the Niagara Movement have grave griev- COLORED TROOPERS. Nowwithstanding the admitted guilt of the man in Texas of the assault committed upon one of the colored soldiers, the war department by direction of the President has ordered the withdrawal of the colored soldiers stationed at Brownsville, Texas. If the colored soldiers had been given an opportunity, The Bee is of the opinion that the good citizens of that place would have been taught a lesson. Colored soldiers are not cowards. They will resent an insult whenever an occasion presents itself. The two privates were assaulted by a white man named Tate without cause or provocation. What the administration should have done was to have forced the prosecution of this white man for assaulting a United States soldier. What is this Government coming to anyway? If the Government is not weak, the administration is at any rate. TROTTER AND FORTUNE TROTTER AND FORTUNE. A great deal has been said by Editor Fortune, of the New York Age against Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian. Both gentlemen are friends of the editor of The Bee. Both are progressive and brave writers and will do honor to any race of people. It is to be regretted that two such brilliant journalists should be so far apart. Trotter and Fortune think differently but there was a time when Editor Fortune thought as Editor Trotter thinks now. Mr. Fortune believed in the independence of the press and very little in political parties. Mr. Trotter leads in the Niagara Movement, while Mr. Fortune believes in the Afro-American Council. Both organizations believe-in the freedom of the colored American. Why can't they unite? Is it possible for the two to get together? If not, why not? THE EVANGELICAL CONVENTION There will he held in this city beginning October 23d to 28th an Evangelical convention under the direction of that world renowned evangelist, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew. Elsewhere in The Bee this week will be seen the call. It will be one of the largest conventions that has ever been held in this city. SECOND ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT NOTABLE. Continued from page one. longed applause, and sang "John Brown's Body." Among many other things he said "God sent John Brown to Harper's Ferry to become a traitor to the Government in order that he might be true to the slave." (Applause.) He declared the question must be settled by the colored people getting their rights in the South. He declared the President, though voluminous on other subjects, had been absolutely silent on the question of enforcement of the 15th amendment; while his secretary of war has admitted the violation of the Constitution, he has recently openly condoned it, if not tacitly endorsed it. (Applause.) He expressed contempt for the sentiment that erects statues to abolitionists while it allows those who fought to destroy the Government to regain in the halls of Congress the victories they lost in the field of battle. Speaking of politics he said: "It has been demonstrated repeatedly that a Republican President, a Republican Cabinet and a Republican Congress will make the negro's civil and political rights a matter of barter and trade to secure Democratic votes in the interest of the tariff schedules, etc." Seated Pan From Negroes Eyes. "Secretary Taft, speaking for the President, chides us by saying that the negroes are political children, that they have shown their incapacity to maintain their political rights. It is true that the negro has had a childlike faith in the Republican party (laughter and aplause), believing that it would administer the sacred trust which the fortunes White South Frank and Wins. He said the white South openly declared its intention to deny the negro inequality no matter how much education and property he had, that the compromising negroes were not deluding it either. He declared colored people who contended for rights had the spirit of John Brown. He said that as John Brown had to take desperate steps at Harpers Ferry to arouse the conscience of the nation, so today no ordinary voice can call the nation back to a sense of justice. Certainly not one talking of the superiority of one race over the other. (Great applause.) 3. This convention was founded, by the call of Dr. Drew, one of the greatest colored evangelists of the age, who is the founder and pastor of the great Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, and who has one foot on a project to build one of the largest negro churches in the United States, with seating capacity of 3,000 people. He has raised and banked nearly $3,000 towards its erection. His present church's membership is 2,000. 4. A few of the great pulpit orators that will be heard are Rev. Geo. E.

Among some of the prominent members connected with this organization are Messrs. Robert Lewis, D. A. Watson, Coles and others. THE BIBLE IN EDUCATION. Delivered Before the Educational Con- It is a gigantic subject and one by no means popular to which your attention is invited: "The Bible in Education." Since it is conceded that man is complex—spiritual, mental and physical, he must be considered by educators in his three-fold nature. The present system of education is well adapted to train him mentally and physically, but there is need that he should be taught, in childhood, spiritually; that there should be infused into him the grand principles of the Master—the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. There can be no doubt that there is a necessity for this peculiar kind of education. Events all about us, as they occur from day to day are filled with conclusive evidence that there is need of a radical departure from the present system of education. The vile crimes that fill our newspapers are not always committed by ignorant men and women, but frequently by the secularly educated. Society seems to be getting worse; divorce, suicide, murder and drunkenness are but the outcome of ignoring the restraints given in the Bible, precept upon precept. Parents are the first teachers of the children God sends into the world made in His image. To you is given a great work, more important and far reaching than to command armies. If you would have those precious beings Christlike, let the Bible dominate the home and the school. Any school curricula without the Bible as one of its text books, we should regard faulty. "Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Cor.; x-31. "Thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto." Deut. xii-18. Whether we live we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. Rom. xlv-8. How are the young to know and appreciate their obligation and responsibility to God and know their duty to man if the Bible, which is the foundation of all science, is not taught? God is disregarded; duty to man ignored; moral degradation is great; infidelity is spreading and crimes are on the increase. These are dangerous elements, composing our social fibre such as the founders of this government never dreamed. To remove them is a question which agitates the minds of our best thinkers. Our educational system lacks that factor necessary for the development of true womanhood and true manhood—the Bible—to ameliorate the social condition", to lift man up to virtue and keep him out of vice, to teach him his relation to his fellow man, train the children in God's law as well as civil ```markdown ``` law Our country's safety depends greatly upon how we train those who are to be the future fathers and mothers. In order to perpetuate the principles for which our sires bled and died we must impress the minds of the children with Christian ideas in the school room as and fail to have them instructed in well as the home and the church. When teachers are sent to foreign lands to instruct the heathen and among the exceptional classes in this country, the Chinese, Japanese, Italians and Indians, they carry with them the Bible as well as the spelling book and the people are taught Biblical doctrines, in order to change their old vile ways and evil thinking. In all Christian institutions where the Bible is a text book it is a mighty power in the mental, moral, physical and spiritual uplift of the youth taught. If we want high-toned girls and boys of strong character, among all the people; if all the people are to recognize the fatherhood of God, and that the black man, the red man, the yellow man and the white man, are brethren in Jesus Christ; teach the Bible and its doctrines in all the schools, secular as well as parochial. Deut. vi-4-9 plainly tells us what we should do for the young in our midst. "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord, and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart, and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou riseth up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and on the gates. "It should be bound as frontlets between thine eyes to guide the thought; as a sign upon the hand-to govern the execution of the will; and it should be written on the door posts to defend the household. Then it is bound to be inscribed on the city gates to defend the nation. Let our youth see the witness and then breath the atmosphere of the Word of God." We should do everything in our power to educate our childhood religiously. Education means to rear, to nourish, to bring up, to lead out. Generally, speaking the development of man morally, spiritually and physically, including all his faculties. The training of a child in its earliest years should begin with the Bible as well as plant and animal life. Plato says: "Good education is that which gives to the body and to the soul all the perfection of which they are capable." When religiously taught the disposition of the child for the higher good is cultivated and the tendency for evil is curbed. Education with the heart trained in the wisdom of knowledge of God lifts man. Education which only trains him mentally and physically does not truly elevate him, it gives him greater power to do evil. Education without the Bible, devoting most of its attention to mind and matter, is a menace to the government of the nations and dwarfs the individual. It was by inculcating the principles of that Great Book, which enabled the early Christians to revolutionize the Roman Empire. The mountments erected to their many gods by the Romans were not overthrown by politics, neither by legislation, nor by science, but by teaching and proclaiming the word of God. "A change of government does not elevate the masses, nor does a republic make them free." "Peoples may not rise though flings may rise—Men unfit for freedom can't be free." No people can rise unless that rising be based on the Bible; no individual is free unless he knows and practices the law of God. The great influx of foreigners to this country will not be in sympathy with our institutions and become law abiding citizens because of contact with our civilization, but only as they are taught to know and obey the word of God. Whenever the Bible is taught, social and political reforms follow. It introduces individual and social purity, freedom, Christian education, true civilization, and the masses become elevated. Educators should seek that Book of Books—God's blessed Bible—and from it teach the children those principles which will enable their hearts to develop in the virtues necessary to control the intelligence and live high moral lives. There are men and women, and boys and girls in all races whose viciousness can be overcome and the best results attained only by Biblical training. Men in ages past held it necessary to educate their youth religiously. Pagan children were indoctrinated with the gods of Olympus. The Hebrews were well instructed in the moral law, and Moses himself felt bound by these laws. It is said that even the buildings of the temple were suspended that the children might be taught the law. The Mohamedans are instructed in the Koran, and the early Christians referred their youth to such books as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and with them taught the commandments. These held high places in the school room as text books. The first settlers in this country made the Bible the corner-stone of their schools as well as their homes and church. Their knowledge of God made them strong, else they would never have achieved the great victories which are credited to them in history. I agree with the writer who says: "The ignorance of the three R's is not the cause of crime. The real cause is our depraved nature, our anger, greed, lust and these will break out into crime under favorable circumstances, both among the literate and illiterate unless they are brought into subjection by religious training. Says Horace Mann: "If intellect, however gifted, be not guided by a sense of justice, a love of mankind and a devotion to duty, its possessor is only a more splendid, as he is only a more dangerous barbarian. We are fully persuaded that the salt of religious truth can alone preserve education from abuse." Lord Beaconfield, one of England's greatest premiers, says: "I am not disposed to believe there is any existing government that can prevail founded on the neglect to supply or regulate the religious instruction of the people." Another great statesman of England, Derby, says: "Public education should be considered as inseparable with religion." The late leader of the House of Commons, that grand man, Wm. E. Gladstone, says, "Every system which places religious education in the background is pernicious." The dying hour of Robespere was almost closed with the expression, "The Republic can only be established upon the eternal basis of morality." Says Plato, "Ignorance of the true God was the greatest pest of all Republics." Society without religion is like a ship without a compass, uncertain as to whither it is going," says Nanoleon Bonaparte. "Public education, which moulds society," says a distinguished writer, "which builds the Republic must be based upon religion in order to found a Republic upon morality."

SOUTH WASHINGTON'S LEADING DRUGGIST. Says Guizot, the French historian, "In order to make education truly good and socially useful it must be fundamentally religious." JULIUS R. MAYER, N and 4th street, N. W. Washington, - - - D. C. "Moral culture and discipline ought to be an essential part of every system of school education." The above quotations show that many of the greatest teachers and writers have expressed themselves on the importance of having the young religiously trained. The only source from which to obtain such training is from the Bible. One of the Prophets of Judah in ages past visited a young man whom God had made their King. He found the people without a teaching priest and without the law. Their condition was appalling; just as we see people today in their slums and alleys of our cities and high places; no teaching priest, no Bible and rejectors of God. The prophet told Oded, for that was his name, "to be strong and let not your hands be weak for your works shall be recorded." Mothers, fathers and teachers, be strong in the Bible that you may lead and teach the children righteousness. This young matured and passed away, his son became his successor, he found little if any improvement among the people. They needed to be taught. So he sent his Princes, and with them sent Lentes, and with them sent Priests, armed, not with bullets and shot gun, but "The Book of the Law." The fear of God fell upon all the kingdom of the lands that were round about Judah so that they made no more war. It is strangely true that parents and teachers strive so assiduously to have their children to become familiar with the classics, mathematics and philosophy that science of all science, philosophy of all philosophy—God's eternal word. Give them the stories of Ovid; tell them of the eloquence of Demosthenes and the victories of Alexander the Great and let them learn the orations of Cicero, but put by their side the laws which teach obedience to parents. "Thou shalt not kill," personal purity, honesty, truthfulness; "Thou shalt not covet," and the golden rule. With the master thinkers of the secular world teach them about Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Nehemiah, Daniel, Doreas, Paul and Jesus Christ. It is a real condition that confronts us as a race. Eighty-five per cent of whom are aroused to the importance of education and enlightment and need to be encouraged and assisted; five per cent are in the chain gang, and fill the prison houses of our land. What is the duty of the ten per cent, who are equipped for efficient work? Take the Bible and assist our struggling brother—do all in our power to reform our criminal class and train them for God, native and home. "No claim is stronger than its weakest link." What did John Knox do for Scotland in the face of papal scorn? Why he gied a faithful pastor to each parish puir forlorm. Pit a school in ivory village and a Bible i' each haame." "Ay the common people prospered when to Christ they humbly came." He saw that education without the Bible would do the people of Scotland little good. Secular education threatens our country.

In many of our schools there are specialists in music, drawing, sewing, cooking, physical culture and the mechanical arts, but no special teacher for the religious training of the children. I would that the board of education in every State in the Union would adopt the Bible as a text book, and appoint specialists or chaplains, male and female, whose duty it shall be to explain to the children the sermon on the Mount and tell them that the Master Teacher said "Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not." The Bible is the only book which teaches man from whence he come and whither he is going. Those who study and live it will not have to say in the language of the poet Whittier, "Ah, the cloud is dark, and day by day I am moving thither." "I must pass beneath it on my way—God pity me—Whither?" "God does pity us all, He wants us to know, to live and obey Him through His revealed will—the Bible. And leaning on Him, make with reverent meekness, His own thy will, and with strength from Him shall thy utter weakness. Life's task, and that cloud itself, which now before thee lies dark in view shall with beans of light from the inner Glory be stricken through. Then of what is to be, and of what is done, why queriest thou? The past and the time to be are one, and both are now. Ella V. Chase Williams. Abbeville, S. C. BALTIMORE & OHIO R. R.

Chase, author of "A Peculiar People," "Lowi Trooman, Or She Kept Her Word, etc. --- One had only to ride to the terminus of the East Suburban car line, where he was brought face to face with a beautiful residence on the north side of the thoroughfare. The grounds were laid off according to the plans of a finished gardner, and the fragrance from the blooming flowers was inhaled soon after leaving the car. This was the home of Mr. John Jones and his family, composed of his wife, two daughters, Ruby and Pearl, and one son, Ederay. Mr. Jones filled the responsible position of butler in the household of Mr. Walter Goodman, a wealthy retired Soothern planter, whose wife, Mrs. Lotlie Goodman, was the daughter of a prominent Northern man, who had filled many positions of honor and trust. Mr. and Mrs. Goodman had abiding confidence in Mr. Jones, with whom they conferred on most of their business. The home of Mr. Goodman had been blessed with two children, a boy and a gi, both of whom died before they were twelve years old. They were left alone to enjoy an immense fortune. On day, more than ever before, Mr. Goodman became much oppressed and ordered the coachman to have, the carriage at the door in as short times as possible to take him and his wife out driving. · The servants' became alarmed at the action of Mr. Goodman, knowing that the ses were never allowed out in the h: of the day. "W: it could the matter be with Mr. Goodman and where were he and Mrs. Goodman going at such an unusual time?" It occurred to the maid that she had heard Mr. Goodman say that they would call to see some one and then go to the lawyer's office to see about some papers. The news of the drive spread from one servant to another when the cook suggested the propriety of asking the butler if he knew where the master of the house had gone and for what? "Certainly I know all about it. Mr. Goodman says that while he is in good health and in possession of his right reasoning powers, he and his wife are to fix his will. O, yes, I guess they will call at my house and I only wish I could be there." "Do you know that Mr. and Mrs. Goodman are the best white people I have ever seen? They love us all and will not have any other servants but those of our color. They do not call us negroes any more, haing read a book called 'A Peculiar People,' they agree with the book and say that negroes are not born in the United States of America. They say all people are colored, so we are called colored also." "Well, I have told you enough for one day, you cannot hear too much at one time as too much knowledge is dangerous. I will tell you more some other time." Everyone went his own way and resumed the day's work, notwithstanding each felt that something was seriously wrong. The carriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Goodman stopped in front of the beautiful home of Mr. Jones, the butler. After the occupants had gotten out, the carriage was staken to the rear of the house to await the time when the return home would be made. Ruby, the eldest daughter of Mr. Jones, responded to the bell call which was made by Mr. Goodman. "We have come to spend a while with you all. Whenever we think of our departed darlings we have to come to see you in order to chase away our gloom." "Where are the other members of the family?" "I will tell them you are here," said Ruby. "Mother and Pearl are coming." A most cordial welcome was extended by Mrs. Jones and her daughters. Mrs. Jones said that it was an honor and a very great pleasure to receive a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Goodman and proceeded to make Mrs. Goodman comfortable in a nest of downy pillows. "Well Mrs. Jones, I told your husband that we were coming to visit you one day this week but did not name the day, so here we are. John did not know we were coming, when we left, unless my wife told him," said Mr. Goodman. "I did tell him, for you know Mr. Goodman, we tell him all our business and he is deserving of our confidence. Your husband is an honorable man, Mrs. Jones, and I feel near to you and the girls." "How the girls are developing into young women!" "Yes, they are and will soon graduate from the high school, but Mr. Jones is . averse to either being employed as a teacher, yet I hope one will be appointed. Of course we have a comfortable home and could afford to have them remain at home, still I think girls ought to have some kind of lucrative employment. I do not care to have them idle at home." "Then you know Mr. Jones is not getting any younger and Edgray says he is not going through the high school, but that he is going into business in a short time." Mr. Goodman had been noting every word and observing the surroundings. Nothing seemed to disturb him until the name of Edgray was mentioned. He had always expressed a peculiar interest in Edgray. On one occasion he told Edgray that when he was old enough to decide and select an occupation that money would be supplied in abundance. Edgray was old enough to comprehend the meaning of all Mr. Goodman said and never forgot it. "Mother," said Edgray, "I am going to tell you what I want to do when I am a man. I want to be a professional coachman and own a large livery stable furnish carriages for all the negro funerals and white people too. If I am living at the death of our friends and benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Goodman, I shall don my coachman's uniform and walk beside my own carriage. That is if I am not too old to walk." "They have been so kind to us I wish I could go to their home and help their coachman with the care of the horses." Mrs. Jones was surprised at the words of her son but did not intimate such; she patted him on the head and said she "guessed all children had ideas of their own and had their own peculiar way of expressing those ideas." She did not know that the seed for such ideas as Edgray expressed had been planted by Mr. Goodman. As soon as Pearl heard her brother's name she went in search of him and found him on the back lawn asking the coachman all kinds of conceivable questions about horses and their care. He had urged the coachman to unharness the horses and burn them in the clover lot, thinking that he could study them and their movements better if they were omitted. As Pearl turned to go into the house, accompanied by Edgray, she was told by Mr. Goodman" not to make Edgray come in. I want to talk to him about horses and anything else which may interest him." Pearl was and always been her brother's confiding friend so she was not in a hurry to join those in the library. However, she was forced to return, for as Mr. Goodman and Edgray began a conversation they also began, to go across the lawn and after getting on a settee, which was near them. "Now, then, Edgray, you are getting to be a large boy and it seems to me that you ought to be able to make an intelligent selection of some kind of an occupation; you surely must have inherited some of your father's business qualifications. I want you to be frank and express your wishes to me. If you want to go through high school and college and then take a profession. I am willing to defray expenses and to set you up in your chosen profession. If you like something else better say so, for remember I told you some years ago that I would start you in any business you selected and also furnish a sum as a nest egg." "You see our little boy and girl flew away from us; they did not dwell on this earth long and have gone where they do not need the wealth of this world. "I am very rich and have no poor relatives for whom I care enough to give what they did not help me get. My relatives have said that I love the "niggers" better than I do the "white folks," so that I shall give my wealth to the niggers. "My wife and your fatlier know how I am on the color question. "We are here today to find out just what you and your sisters want to do, in order that you may earn an independent living. "All that part of my fortune which would have gone to our boy, had he lived, will be settled on you and that which would have been given to our daughter will be equally divided between your sisters. "Taking out those sums my fortune is still very large and is not lessened to any great degree. My wife has had all she wants set apart for her and all the remainder is to be equally divided among the colored churches and the colored high school at the death of the last of us two, Mrs. Goodman or myself." Mrs. Lucy M. Nooks of Wilberforce, O., is in the city visiting her sister, Mrs. W. L. Houston. Master Charles Houston, who has been visiting his grandmother in Wilberforce, returned to the city last week. Grand Director Houston is in Philadelphia attending the Sub-committee of Management of the G. U. O. of O. F. Mr. Houston is considered the leading candidate for Grand Master in the election to be held by the B. M. C. in Richmond next October. (To be continued in our next.) BARON VON STEUBEN STATUE. Albert Jaegers' Model Chosen for Memorial at Washington. Washington.—The Von Steuben statue commission, of which Secretary Taft is chairman, has awarded to Mr. Albert Jaegers, of New York, the order to execute a bronze statue of Baron von Steuben, major general and inspector general in the continental army. Congress appropriated $50,000 for the statue, which is to be erected at the northwest corner of Lafayette park, in this city, and conforms in size and general type to the statues of Lafayette and Rochambeau already in place in that park. Seven German-American sculptors were invited to enter a competition last summer by a committee compris- DAVID HENRY ing Secretary Taft, Senator Wetmore and Representative McCreary. The result of that competition was that the committee selected the models of Albert Jaegers. In the accepted model Gen. von Steuben appears in the familiar cocked hat and a long, full, all-embracing cloak, as though facing or enduring the hardships of the rigorous winter campaign at Valley Forge. He stands squarely facing the observer in an attitude of power and dignity. Slightly leaning with his left hand upon the sword, he is represented as inspecting military maneuvers. His personality, though quiet and simple, is essentially military. The sash he wears is reminiscent of his previous service as an officer of Frederick the Great. Flanking the statue at the base of the pedestal are two chaste allegorical groups. One of these represents Steuben's life work, "The Training of the American Army." It is worked out in an ideal composition thoroughly Greek in feeling, showing an experienced warrior instructing a youth in the use of his sword. The group on the other side is a departure from the customary symbols of paying, tribute to our heroes, and represents America-teaching a maiden to graft a branch to Steuben's memory into her growing tree of fame. In the design of the entire monument the sculptor, with his associate architect, T. R. Johnson, consulted Cass Gilbert, the well-known New York architect. They took into special consideration the location of the monument and the general scale of the other monuments in Lafayette park and adapted the design to the classic tendency of the time. This monument will form an important addition to the artistic features of the city and will be in harmony with the grand scheme of the development of Washington proposed by the park commission. PLAN A GIGANTIC DRYDOCK. Largest Structure of Its Kind to Be Erected on Puget Sound. Washington.—Plans for the largest and best drydock in the world are being prepared in the bureau of yards and docks at the navy department. The last naval appropriation act contained provision for a dock to cost $1,250,000 to be constricted at the Bremerton navy yard, Puget Sound, Washington. This amount is larger than ever heretofore appropriated for a dock and the new dock will when completed be able to take in the largest battleship either in course of construction or in contemplation. The location for the dock has already been selected at the yard and bobbings are now being made to learn the depth of the foundation. It is to be a concrete dock of the latest pattern and the materials will be purchased on the Pacific coast if practicable. The dock is to be so constructed that it can be lengthened if vessels of greater length should be built in the future. It will be 37 feet in depth, which will provide for the docking of any vessel that can be built unless some unknown system of building is developed. The greater depth of the new dock is also designed to meet cases where a vessel has been injured and draws much more than the ordinary depth on account of the injury. DOGS NOW HAVE APPENDICITIS If He Limps or Has Faraway Look, Send for a Doctor. Philadelphia.—The quicker your dog can develop a case of appendicitis the quicker will your neighbors be to acknowledge that he belongs to the fashionable canine set. If he has a faraway look in his eyes, or whines continually, or refuses to eat, or, most important of all, if he limps in his right hind leg, he has it, all right. The symptoms mentioned are those given by a prominent veterinarian, and if a dog has one of the habits it is said he may have only a slight attack of the disease, but if he has all four, then nothing but the removal of the offending organ will save his life. Paratus, the mascot of the torpedo-boat Hopkins, which is now lying at League island, is the first dog in this city to undergo the operation to have its appendix removed. The operation on the dog was suggested by one of the surgeons at League Island, who gave the dog a thorough examination, at the request of the jackles, who believed their pet was dying. He suggested a surgeon who would take the case, and with all the care that would be shown to a human being Paratus was removed to the canine hospital. Here the dog was put through another examination by a man versed on the diseases of animals, who agreed with the naval surgeon that Paratus was a sufferer from appendicitis. BIG RCSE FARM PLANNED. South Will Supply Flowers and Plants to Cities of the North. Lula, Miss.—A rose and shrub farm is Mississippi's newest industry and so far as known, the only one in the South. The farm was formerly the property of Gov. Alcorn, and was one of the finest cotton plantations in the Delta. It is about four miles from this city on the Yazoo Pass. The property, which is in the northeast corner of Coahma county, lying along the rairread from Helena, Ark., to Jonestown, Miss., is owned by a northern corporation. The soil along the Yazoo Pass, which is an outlet for Moon lake to Coldwater river, is a black, sandy loam, admirably adapted to growing roses and shrubs. While only a small part of the old Alcorn place is now in cultivation, it is the purpose of the manager of the farm to plant at least 1,000 acres in roses and shrubs. Already there is a good demand for the products of this unique industry. The soft wood rooting process is used and the results are good. Roses and plants are shipped to the North and West in large quantities, to Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities, and last year the company could not handle all the orders received for rose plants, yard shrubs and hedge stock. It is said a larger growth of cullings can be produced here than elsewhere, while the plants mature faster. FARM HAND STRIKES IT RICH Connecticut Man Now Making $5,000 a Day in Alaska. Derby, Conn.—From a farm hand six years ago to a gold mine owner now making $5,000 a day is the change in the fortunes of Samuel Swanson, of Naugatuck. Swanson tired of farming in 1900 and went to Alaska. For a year he worked for day wages in the gold sands of Nome beach. Then he prospected and mined until 1904, when he returned to Naugatuck penniless. He borrowed $500 from his mother and brother, and early last year returned to Nome, staking out new claims. He was successful, and last November, with a partner, bought the Cyrus Noble claim, which he had abandoned four years before. After clearing the place of ice and debris Swanson and his partner began drifting, and 15 feet from the starting point they struck pay dirt. For two months, Swanson writes, the mine has been producing $10,000 a day. The mine has been double shafted and the working force increased. Swanson also has two other rich claims that are turning out gold in large quantities, and the plants will be consolidated. Swanson's mother and brother already have received dividends of several hundred per cent on their investment. Will Play Old Games Alloway, N. J.-Some day next week the citizens of this place propose to hold a picnic similar to those held in olden times. The entire county is to be invited, and a feature of the event will be the old-time games, like "drop the handkerchief," "Copenhagen" and other kissing games. It is also expected to have a game of town-ball and "sock-a-bout." Farmers are to be notified that if they have anything to swap, from blooded stock to an ax handle, to be on hand to talk "trade." The promoters propose to show what the word "picnic" meant in former days. Prima Donna Wars on Tights. Cleveland, O.—Miss Oiga Orloff, prima donna of the comic opera company, has begun a crusade against tights. She says they are insanitary, and it is only a question of time until they will be obsolete. Miss Orloff ought to know. Her acquaintance with tights is intimate and of long standing. THE SHIP which soon is to be reconstructed by the navy department most notable fighting craft owned by the United States commanded by Hull, Prebble, Balmbridge and Decatur, and she fame in the war of 1812. The Constitution was built at Boston launched September 20, 1797, being the third vessel of the navy after the war of the revolution, the first having been the United the second the Constellation. The Constitution's most notable were those over the Guerrriere, the Java and the Cyane and Levi. The proposal made in 1830 to dismantle and sell the gallant ship a great public indignation and prompted Dr. Oliver Wendell Hume poem, "Old Ironsides." In 1845 she was rebuilt, and for several after the Constitution was used as a school ship and subsequent ship. In 1900 she was removed from Kittery to the navy yard and was gradually falling into decay until the pair cleftles took up the matter and urged upon congress the making of propriation to save the noted vessel. Lawton, Ok—Capt. Frank Ben King, commanding the Lawton engineering corps, Oklahoma National guard, who was recently appointed by Governor Frank Franz, of Oklahoma. OK OK Ч CAPT. F. B. KING. (He Will Coach the Oklahoma Team at the National Shoot at Sea Girt.) as a coach of the team to represent the Oklahoma National guard at the national shoot to be given at Sea Girt, N. J., beginning Aug. 27 and continuing until Sept. 3, first entered military service by enlisting as a private in the Second Arkansas infantry, United States volunteers, in 1898. His term of enlistment was spent in camp at Chickamauga park, Georgia, and Anniston, Ala. He was mustered out of service Feb. 25, 1899. He organized a company of infantry in the Arkansas State guard and was elected captain in 1901 and resigned to come to Oklahoma. He was commissioned first lieutenant engineer corps National guard in 1903 and was promoted to the captaincy of this organization the same year. He attended garrison school at Fort Sill during the winter of 1903-04 and at Fort Crook, Neb., the winter of 1904-05. Capt. King is 28 years old. He was in command of the company that gained signal praise for its services at Snyder after the great cyclone in May, 1905. He is a close student and is counted among the best officers of the new state National guard. Titled Women Ara Milliners There are at least 500 women of prominence in London who are engaged in trade. The first woman of title to open a milliner shop was Lady Granville Gordon, who did not use her own name, but the trade name of "Lierre," which means ivy. She prospered, although she did none of the work, simply furnishing the means and generally having oversight of the books. Many have followed her example. Painted Statues. In the eighteenth century, Diderot did not hesitate to say that to paint a statue was to commit an act of barbarism. However this may be, it is an established fact that nearly all the very old statues were painted, whether the material used was of stone or of wood, and traces of the original painting have been found on the statues which decorate Notre Dame de Paris. Ambassador Fond of Tobacco. Accurate tab has been kept on Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, since he arrived in Washington, and nobody ever saw him without a cigar in his mouth or in his hand, just ready to put into his mouth, except when he was at a state function or dining, and then he always smokes between courses. Monster Ocean Liners Being Built by British Company. Liverpool, England—Eziz is soon to recapture the blue of the Atlantic with two new lines, the Cunard line, the Lusitania, that will make Atlantic journey in four days, clipping a day and a day the fastest time of the press steamers. The vessels will leave Liverpool on Saturday afternoons and will passengers in New York on the following Thursday morning. Their maximum speed will be 20 knots, in 301-2 miles an hour, and they will consume three-quarters of a ton of coal a minute, about 100 tons a day. The Lusitania has just left the builders' hands, while the Martiana is to be launched in a few weeks. The two vessels are believed by nautical experts to set a standard that will not be surpassed for a quarter of a century and may exist for 50 years. The Lusitania is set on end would overtay every structure in the world. LUJITENIA 705 FT. FYRIDO OF THE CITY 705 FT. COMPARISON OF THE LUSITANIA WITH WORLD'S TALLEST STRUCTURES. except the Eiffel tower The greatest battleship in the world, the Dreadnought, supposed to be equal in fighting power, to any two other war vessels, is nearly 300 feet shorter and has a displacement of 23,000 tons, against a total of 40,000 tons by the Cunard boat. There are about 26,000 steel plates in this vessel, some of them of the record dimension of 40 feet in length and weight of five toes. There are 4,000,000 rivets, aggregating 500 tons in weight. The main frames and beams, placed on end, would reach 30 miles. Three anchors weigh ten tons each, and 1,800 feet of giant iron cable contains links each of which is 32 inches long, three and three-quarter inches in diameter and weighs 150 pounds. The Lusitania will cost, when completed, $6,250,000, and each trip access will cost $250,000. To pay for that the vessel will carry 1,500 tons of cargo, 550 first-class passengers 500 second-class passengers and 122 steerer. Her crew will number 800 Jewels of German Empress. The German empress, in addition to jewels worth $500,000 that are her own private property, has the right to use the splendid collection of gems that belong to the Prussian treasury. The empress is thus able sometimes to appear at court wearing jewelry valued at $1,250,000. Hew Japs Like Their Tea. The Japanese will not drink tea that has been standing over a minute.

This carthquake has been calculated to have had its seismic centre at a depth of about twelve miles. The great ex- plosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883, caused sea waves that went around the world at a speed of 400 miles an hour. On the coast of Java the waves were sixty feet high and thousands of people were drowned. The earthquake in the North Pacific which occurred in June, 1806, cause waves forty feet high along the northern coast of Japan, killing over 27,000 people, Such earthquakes, erro- yeously called tidal waves, occurred on the coast of Pert some years ago when one of the United States gunboats was carried inland a mile and left stranded.
