PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. A FIRESIDE COMPANION. *t is true if you see it in THE BEE. VOL. XXVI.NO. 19 OPEN LETTER SOME COLD FACTS. To Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Chairman of the National Republican Committee— You have no doubt read my last letter by now and digested its contents. I said that I would retail a few broken promises the Republican party made to the colored voter which, no doubt, may interest you. Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Cortelyou, that the colored Republican voter is like a young man starting out to court a young woman, and what promises he makes to her, if she would only reciprocate his affections? Courtship with a sedate young lady is very pleasant, Mr. Cortelyou, especially when you are in earnest. This depends altogether to what extent your affections are reciprocated. If she is stubborn, you become the more persistent by making all kinds of promises. O! you will tell the sweet maiden how much you will do for her if she will only become your wife. When I was courting, Mr. Cortelyou, we had no automobiles. I had to flash before the maiden's eye a single-horse team, as many do now who cannot afford an automobile. Of course, many keep their promises, but many thousand break them after they have won the affections of their eyes. After the emancipation of the slaves, do you know that they were promised forty acres and a mule? The poor slave was persuaded for over forty years to love and respect the Republican party. He gave up his life in battle to uphold, Mr. Cortelyou, the flag of a great public and to perpetuate a party that has now deserted him. For over forty years, the colored citizen, my dear Mr. Cortelyou, has followed blindly the leaders of a party from whom they have expected better treatment. Like a young maid who first meets her lover, and after years of false promises and ill treatment the courts is forced to appeal to the courts for succor. The lot of the colored citizen is somewhat different. He has appealed to the court of last resort only to be told that he has no rights that traitors are bound to respect. Is this not true, Mr. Cortelyou? Point to one promise the Republican party has kept since the emancipation of the slave. He has been obedient to the laws of the republic and willing and ready at all times to obey his country's call. Oh! Mr. Cortelyou, do you think that your administration has dealt fairly toward the colored citizen? Turn your eyes South and look at the horrible picture in Atlanta, Ga. Read the State Constitutions of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and other Southern States. Do you think that the English Government would allow such conditions to exist? You are the National Chairman of a party whose principles have heretofore been, equality of citizenship. What have you to say now of the principles of your party? You might as well confound the evils that now exist as at any other time. You have dodged these questions long enough, which has caused so much indifference among the friends of liberty. The cause for whilh John Brown fought, Summer advocated, and Garrison died, Mr. Cortelyou, is now a mockery to our civilization. You continue to tell us that the Demoractic party is the historic enemy of the colored man. I know that; but, in many instances, many Democrats are more favorably disposed toward the colored man than many. Republicans are under this administration. Why don't your administration remedy the evil? Take many of your Government Departments, and see how some of our most refined and polished colored scholars are "Jim crowed." I had a talk, a few days ago, with Mr. Sullivan, the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, relative to the "Jim Crow" corner in one portion of his department. I said to him that I did not believe that he knew it. To my surprise, Mr. Cortelyon, I was informed by him that he knew it. You can imagine my feelings. Mr. Sullivan informed me that the two races are satisfied and are doing well. There is no friction now in the dressing rooms of the two races, and if I changed it now, Mr. Sullivan said there might be a friction. I said to him that when the late Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce was nominated Register of the Treasury the Secretary of that department was informed, Mr. Sullivan, that the white clerks declared that they would not work under the colored Register. The Secretary sent for all the white clerks in that department and said: "I understand that many of you, if not all of you, decline to work under the colored Register of the Treasury. If this is true, I am ready to accent the resignation of all." They left the Secretary, I told Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Cortelyou, none resigned, a few were taken sick, but none died. I understand, said Mr. Sullivan, that they are all doing well now. I will say, Mr. Cortelyou, that the new chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing will not permit any colored employee to be imposed upon. He will give them a "square deal," which is more than I can say for your Chief Executive and the Republican party. That "door of hope" of which your chief has talked so much about, Mr. Cortelyou, seemed to have been closed to the colored citizen. I am tired of so many letters being written, appealing to the consciences of the oppressors of the colored citizen. I am tired of so much silent conscience. Nations are destroyed and governments are permitted to be turned over. There is but one way for you, Mr. Cortelyou, to go and that way is to follow the Constitution and enforce it. THE LILLY WHITES Are encouraged in the South, and the Republicans are ignored. What does this mean? I have heard you say nothing about it. Do, you expect to organize a white man's Republican party in that section? Let me tell you, before you go too far: The colored voter in the North is convinced that the colored citizen in the South cannot be used any more to the advantages of the Republican party and now your Congressional Committee is endeavoring to transfer its appeals to the North. The Northern colored vote will in the next election surprise you. I warn you now, the Northern Democrats have taken a pointer from Tammany Hall, so far as the colored citizen is concerned, and if the Western Democrats continue to do for the colored man as the Democrats are doing in the East, I tell you now, bid farewell to these "hewers of wood and drawers of water." In concluding this letter, Dear Mr. Cortelyou, let me remind you of one more thought. The colored voter, where his vote counts, is dissatisfied. Two small insignificant Bureau officers, such as Recorder of Deeds and Register of the Treasury will not satisfy the Northern colored vote. You have snubbed Ohio, by turning out the only colored representative, Hon. John P. Green, and the appointmen of a white man, unknown. You have committed a fatal error, Mr. Cortelyou, and until I write again, believe me to be JUDGE THOMAS H. ANDERSON The many friends and judicial associates of Judge Thomas H. Anderson of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia gave him a hearty greeting on his return from his foreign tour. Judge Anderson visited many places of note and saw many things, and points of interest. He is one of the most dignified and genial judges that ever occupied the bench of the Supreme Court. He is popular with the bar and highly thought of by the most distinguished statesmen and jurists in the United States. He gives a glowing account of his visit abroad and especially his visit to the Russian parliament. He met kings and queens, statesmen, diplomats and politicians. The Bee welcomes this most learned jurist again to his native land. AND YE SHALL BE MY WITNESSFS. Rev J. Andrew Taylor was greeted by a large congregation last Sunday evening at the Second Baptist Church. He took for his text, Acts 1st chapter and 8th verse. "And ye shall be my witnesses." It was one of the most impressive sermons that has ever been delivered by this eloquent divine. DR. FAIRFIELD'S ADMINISTRATION. From the University Journal. There is no more fitting time than now to express acknowledgment and gratitude for the splendid and cheerful service rendered by Dr. Fairfield during his short career as Acting President of the University. From a condition of chaos and uneasiness he evolved order and satisfaction in the brief space of five months, and the University is presented to the incoming administration in a healthy condition. Too much praise cannot be given Dr. Fairfield. In addition to his task as President of the University, he performed his usual duties as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and taught classes daily. The thorough, efficient and easy manner in which he did all this testifies to his administrative ability. Dr. Fairfield is a Christian gentleman of deep caliber. His sincere friendship to the interests of the University is evident to all the right minded. READ THE BEE. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY OCT What I Saw And Heard LAWYERS' What I Saw And Heard LAWYERS' RECEPTION I met the tall and handsome figure of Captain J. W. Lyons a few days ago. The big Republican leader of Georgia has opened law offices in Augusta, Ga., where he will practice law. I have been wondering to myself how I can get the colored lawyers united. They would be a factor were this to occur. There are some good men among the members of the bar. My friend, Fountain Peyton, has removed to 1801 4th street, N. W. This keen student of Blackstone will be judge one of these days. I am amused to see the kickers in the schools find out now that they have made a mistake. I have met superintendent Chancellor and find him to be a man of superior ability. I think he is doing well under the circumstances. There will be no tears shed if another Captain of the 4th precinct is appointed. Commissioner Macfarland is making a thorough investigation of the circumstances that led to the death C J.H. Gunnii. HON. WM. B. ALLISON, OF IOWA. My friend, Mr. A. F. Boston, celebrated his fifteenth anniversary of his marriage last Sunday from two to six P. M. Mr. and Mrs. Boston are two genial persons. They are as happy as two turtle doves. The colored delegates, that is, those who will be elected to the next National Republican Convention will be either for Senator Foraker or President Fairbanks. Judge Kimball has returned to the Police Court, and evil doers stand a poor show. No man who is married to a woman should refuse to support her if she is doing right. The Police Court is crowded with all kinds of prisoners. The wife beater and the wife non-supporter occupies a great deal of the court's time. There is one thing the court does, and that is, no man escapes who refuses to support his wife and children. I think this is a good law. We have some sad scenes at times. Young women who look like mere children themselves are seen daily in the court, charging their husbands with non-support. If they are not charged with this offense they are charged with assaults upon their wives. My friend, Pierre W. Frisby, believes in colored enterprises. He is a thorough race man and a young man who is entitled to the support and encouragement of his people. There will be an effort to send two white delegates from this city to the next National Republican Convention. When this is attempted the colored Republicans will know it. Rev. L. B. Moore has returned from Europe highly delighted with his trip. Rev. Moore is a wide-awake individual and before long the teachers' college of Howard University will be the greatest in the country. The Afro-American Council will have a great meeting in New York City next week. Some of the leading men in the country will be present. Fairplay. KEAD THE BLD. of Engineer Murphy. TURDAY OCTOBER 6, 1906 LAWYERS' RECEPTION There was a representative gathering of citizens present last Friday evening at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, of which Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers is pastor. The occasion was a reception to the members of the bar. Rev. Corrothers is a thorough race man and one who is doing all in his power to build up institutions and professions in which the colored citizen is engaged. The occasion last Friday evening was the first reception tendered to the bar by any public benefactor. The meeting was opened by Rev. Corrothers, who offered prayer and delivered a timely address to the bar. At its conclusion he introduced Mr. W. Calvin Chase, president of the colored bar association, who responded to the timely address of the pastor and introduced the following speakers: Attorneys Perrie W. Frisby, John W. Patterson, John F. Collins, James Neil, Thomas L. Jones and M. T. Clink-scales. J. C. Cunnain They delivered fine addresses and at the conclusion of the speeches the members of the bar and invited guests were invited to the lecture room below where refreshments were served. Rev. Corrothers said: Gentlemen:We feel that the affairs of the race are in such a condition as to make it absolutely necessary that those of us who have the interest of the people at heart should unite ourselves as never before to defend the race against all legislative discrimination. The horrible lynching of three men at Springfield. Mo., who were found afterward; to be innocent of the crime charged; the dastardly murder of three men, who were in the custody of the court, at Salisbury, N. C.; the lynching of Johnson at Knoxville, Tenn., as a resentment of Federal interference, the unwarranted and brutal slaughter of our people at Atlanta, Ga.; together with the Jim Crowing of Afro-Americans on street and steam railways in all of the Southern States; the declared intention of disfranchising all the negroes in Georgia by Hoke Smith; the half-hearted and hypocritical way in which our Northern friends are defending us, are the clearest indications that mob violence and race discrimination are on the increase. It appears to me that a tremendous crisis is at hand, which can be averted only by concerted and wise action on our part. The leaders of our race can no longer close their eyes to this fact. Self protection and self respect urge us to act in the face of these conditions. I have invited you gentlemen of the legal fraternity to this reception tonight that I might have an opportunity to say these few words to you, and to give whatever encouragement to you that I can, in the furtherance of your profession. will aid us in curing this wrong, if we I have a few suggestions to offer you, after which I will be glad to listen to anything you may have to say in keeping with the purpose of the above. No. r. It would be a very great blessing to the race if you gentlemen could see your way clear to sacrifice all personal differences and come together and form yourselves into one strong and well regulated bar association. No. 2. For the good of your profession, I would suggest to you that you make an effort to rid yourselves of all petty jealousies and combine for the good of yourselves and of your race. No. 3. I would urge upon you to consider carefully the wisdom of a more intimate and friendly co-operation with the church and ministry for it is hardly possible for you to make the success you deserve without the indorsement of the colored ministry. No. 4. I want to urge upon you to make money a secondary consideration, and make up your minds to render the best service possible to the people. Remember that the time of sewing must precede the time of reaping. The civil and political condition of your people in this country make it necessary that the legal talent of your race be brought to the front. No. 5. I have faith in the negro lawyers of this country, and shall in my humble way do all in my power to place the legal patronage of the race in their hands. The negro people who are criticising the negro lawyer without giving him an opportunity are like the Egyptian that demanded of the Hebrews to make bricks without straw. The negro lawyer like all other colored professions must be given time to develop themselves, and they have a right to expect those of their own people who have legal business to give them a chance. I want to assure you that the negro ministry stands ready to cooperate with all other elements of the race in solving this complicated problem that confronts us. I am glad to greet you here this evening, and hope that this conference may prove profitable to you. I am yours for the redemption of the race. The opportunities offered the colored bar of the District of Columbia are many. Its members are not only struggling for an existence, but they never lose an opportunity to defend the unfortunates, with or without compensation. All of them have a pride and a keen interest in the defenders charged with crime or other minor offenses. While they are sympathetic, they have their jealousies and many of them practice deception and deceit toward each other. Before many of its members can hope to ask for the undivided cooperation that they hope to consolidate, they must first destroy that grim monster that is so apparent in their own hearts. It is true and it cannot be denied that the colored attorney will make a greater defense of his client than many of those who gain the popular favor of that class of lawyers who have no more interest in their clients than to get their money. The colored Americans in this city I mean, that class who have more confidence in the enemy than in their friends, the colored lawyer. It is also true that more is expected from the colored lawyer, no matter how well he conducts his case, than the shyster who has the confidence and respect of our people. This reigns in the upper class of colored people who never seek the service of a colored attorney only when they haven't the necessary fee. The assertion that the colored attorney is not respected by the courts is false. The courts respect any member of the bar who respects himself. There are several things the courts will condemn and rebuke—the lawyer who deals in sharp practices; the lawyer who robs his clients and the shyster. The lawyer who respects himself will get the respect of the court, no matter what his color is. I extend to Rev. Corrothers on the part of the bar for the reception that he has so kindly tendered, its thanks and esteem. Christian co-workers, brothers of the bar and friends—We have the honor to assemble in the house of God on this special occasion by invitation of our distinguished friend and coming Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church—Dr. Corothers, who, since his coming to our city and before, has always been mindful of the interests of the race, and is especially interested in our public schools, the welfare of our teachers and those who were deprived of their rights without trial or opportunity to be heard. We are grateful to Dr. Corothers and the church for the interest they have taken in us and our profession—it is a precedent. While it is true that we have not fair representation by employment in our courts, yet, our fraternity stands for honesty and home rule. It is utterly impossible, as was said in a recent editorial in the Star, without the aid of previous knowledge of Washington men and women and local conditions and environments, for one to do justice in filling the position as superintendent of our public schools, or other offices, giv- Continued to page five.

Is Curator of the Astro-Photographic Library of Harvard Observatory and Has Achieved a National Reputation. Boston. Since the days of Caroline Herschel and Maria Mitchell, no woman has played so important a part in the astronomical world as Williamina Paton Fleming, a native of Dundee, Scotland, but by naturalization and adoption an American citizen. Although it is a generally accepted fact that within the last 25 years women have done important work in scientific fields of labor, very few people know, perhaps, that they are now doing work, not only in the line of research, but also as discoverers. To this class Mrs. Fleming belongs more properly, as she discovered six of the nine new stars during the last 15 years. In the Harvard college observatory which stands foremost in certain lines of work, and whose influence is felt all over Europe, 17 of the 40 assistants employed are women, among them Williamina Paton Fleming holds the position of curator of the famous astrophotographic library of the observatory. This position is as unique as the library itself, for in the 250 years of Harvard's history no other woman has ever received an official appointment from the university corporation. The Harvard library is the only one M. of its kind in the world. Here Mrs. Fleming has the entire charge of over 200,000 plates, all of which she examines and discusses with her assistants. These plates are the complete record of the sky for every year since 1890, and partial records of the year 1886. In the course of examining these plates Mrs. Fleming has discovered a large number of variables and confirmed the discovery of several new stars. By her zeal and skill the number of known stars whose spectrum is of the third type has been increased from 1,000 to 3,000, while the rare class of fifth type stars has been raised from 16 to 57. Mrs. Fleming has also discovered over 200 new, valuable stars, by means of the bright hydrogen lines in their specters, and has been able to prove their variability in each case from the photographic charts of the same regions. In 1890 she announced, from its spectrum, that a certain star in the constellation of Cygnus was variable, and (among other achievements) has the distinguished honor of being the first discoverer of the planetary nebulae, by means of photography. A number of new stars have been discovered during the last 15 years, and six of them are Mrs. Fleming's discoveries—Nova Persil, No. 1; Nova Normae,, Nova Carinae, Nova Centauri, Nova Sagittariu and Nova Aquilae—a brilliant record. Beside all of her routine work, this remarkable woman finds time to edit the Annals of the Observatory, to contribute articles to various astronomical journals, and to do computation of mountain heights for the Annalachian club It is interesting to know that the strain of intellectual and scientific pursuits has not destroyed that other side—the purely feminine side—of her life. "Ahl I don't mind housework, and I can cook as good a little dinner as half of the women installed in our kitchens. I'm never scared if the maid is sulky or threatens to give notice." This is something of a surprise from a woman who has written of woman: "While we cannot maintain that in everything she is man's equal, yet in many fields of work her patience, perseverance and methods make her his superior." When she was first made "Fellow" of a certain scientific society, the clerk was greatly embarrassed in filling out the certificate and laboriously rubbing out the word "Fellow," and substituting "member" in its place. This, however, was corrected by the person in authority and now Williamina Paton Fleming, fellow of so and so, no longer looks curious. Certainly the "modern woman" in science has found an honorable as well as conspicuous place among the world of scientists and astronomers in the person of Williamina Fleming, writer and discoverer. Fleet Which the Sea Swallows Yearly At the news of some terrible shipwreck in which hundreds are drowned like the recent wreck of the Sirio—the whole world stands agast, lamenting the loss of so many human lives in a single accident. In fact, such catastrophes as attract public attention are happily rare. Others less striking happen, however, from day to day. The above cut, from "L'Illustration," suggests in a pictorial way what a navy the sea devours in a year. Statistics of maritime losses and accidents published by the Bureau Veritas (the French Lloyds) show that in 1905 359 steamships and 649 sailing vessels, a total of 1,038, were lost. So each day "blind ocean" swallows on an average three ships, a barge, a schooner and a steamer. AMERICA THE OLDEST NEW WORLD IN REALITY MOST ANCIENT OF EARTH. Seattle, Wash.—From the discovery in the valley of the Yukon of the giant skull of a broad-faced ox, known to science as "Bos Latifrons," the geologists and others versed in the mystic lore of the time when the old earth was in her baby days read the startling fact that the western hemisphere should be termed the "old country" and that Mother Asla after all is much the junior of the American continent. E. S. Strait, of Dawson, has sent the skull of the prehistoric monster to the Alaska club, of Seattle. Secretary Sheffield proudly shows it to all comers as one of the treasures of the club. The skull of the great creature was dug out of a gold mine on one of the creeks entering the Klondike near Dawson. From tip to tip the horns measure 36 inches. The skull is supposed to have been pushed about together with rock and gold nuggets by the action of the glaciers of the past. Scientists claim that the Bos Latrifone is the precursor of the great American buffalo. They also state that there is reason to believe that the western half of the world knew nothing whatever of the horse and camel and that these were products of a later age and long following the time when humanity and animal life throne on this continent. Prof. E. S. Meany, of the University of Washington, examined the skull with great interest. He said, regarding it: "The fossil skull sent to the Alaska club by E. S. Strait is undoubtedly a specimen of the broad-faced ox. A few years ago a similar specimen was found underground on claim 18 above. on Bonanza creek, near Dawson, and was presented to the University of Washington by Judge Arthur E. Griffin, of Seattle. "The same creature formed part of the life in Oregon during past geologic ages. The greatest authority on such things in this region is the venerable Thomas Condon, professor of geology at the University of Oregon. In his valuable book called "The Two Islands" is found this paragraph about Bog Latfrons: "The precursor of the buffalo in Oregon was this broad-faced ox. His horns were longer and stouter and his bony forehead was wider than that of the buffalo, measuring 19 inches across the line of the eyes. His skull was not only very wide, but unusually thick, being two and a half inches in midforehead." "The book contains the picture of a skull that was found five or six miles east of the Dallas, Ore. "Elsewhere in the book Prof. London speaks of the probable age of this creature as follows: "The field intended by the term surface beds includes all silight depressions of the surface producing ponds with sediment enough to preserve bones and teeth washed into them, and also swamps and bogs into which large mammals often sink to their death, leaving their bones to such preserving agencies as might occur there. And inasmuch as the latest great surface-leveling agency of the north temperate zone was that of the glacial ice, most of these surface depressions would date from glacial times, and would, therefore, be properly designated as Pleistocene. Furthermore, up to the glacial period the horse and the camel were abundant here, and the question of their continuance in Oregon through glacial times is still in doubt, so that our group of surface sediments must provide the settling testimony on this question. "If the bogs, swamps and minor surface depressions furnish no horse or camel bones, then must it be accepted that the glacial cold drove these mammals away or destroyed them. It is plain that the mammoth elephant got him a coat of fur and lived through the cold spell of the times. The fossils of this group of surface beds, such as the mastodon, the mammoth, the broad-faced ox and mylodons, though deeply interesting, bring added historical attraction from the fact that a large part of their geological period overlaps that of prehistoric man." "While it must be largely a matter of conjecture even with the most skilled geologists. it is interesting to note that Frederick A. Lucas, of the Smithsonian Institution, published In McClure's Magazine for October, 1900, an article on the "Ancestry of the Horse." Illustrating the article was a diagram giving the times of geologic ages as computed by Henry F. Osborn, the paleontologist of the American Museum of Natural History, of New York. In that diagram the Pleistocene which Prof. Condon gives as the age of the broad-faced ox, is put down as extending from about the 500,000 years of the Upper Miocene to the present time. Such specimens as this new arrival at the Alaska club start interesting trains of thought. It is only necessary here to suggest one. The so-called new world of America is in reality a very old world, and it may be that it is the oldest land on earth. The ancient inhabitants of America were strangers to the modern horse, campel and ox. These creatures were evolved on the eastern hemisphere and were brought to the western hemisphere since its discovery by Columbus. Yet geology discloses the indisputable evidence that the progenitors of these useful creatures did exist here in the past. MINISTRY LOSING GROUND. Dr. English, of Connecticut, Gives Reason for the Decrease. Hartford, Conn. - A circular was sent recently by Rev. W. F. English, of East Windsor, Conn., to about 50 Congregational college and seminary presidents, and pastors who were thought to be conversant with the situation concerning candidates for the ministry, and the deductions from their replies are printed in the Hartford Seminary Record. Dr. English says: "During the past ten years, in every other trade and occupation salaries and wages have enjoyed substantial increase; but during this period the salaries of Congregational ministers have been actually decreased ten per cent, although the wealth of the country has increased enormously and the cost of living has greatly advanced. The sources of ministerial supply in New England are rapidly drying up, and of the diminishing number of candidates for the ministry a larger proportion are coming from the west and south, while especially in the west the pastors supplying the smaller churches are being drawn by necessity from other denominations. Bible training schools, etc., many of them, if not most, having little or no adequate training or preparation for their work. "One reason for the present scarcity of ministers is the loss of prestige and influence of the profession. The number of professions and occupations furnishing openings for educated men have been multiplied, and the printed word is commanding ever increasing advantages in its competition with uttered speech." Reno, Nev.—A picture which depicts a bit of early California history, painted by the noted artist Trousset, and in which is bound up an interesting episode in the life of that artist, has recently been located in Golconda, Nev., by John Maguire, of Salt Lake City. The painting shows the first mass ever celebrated in California. It discloses Padre Julinpero Serra under the historic oak tree at Monterey, surrounded by his officers and curious Indians, while beneath a canopy the priests are seen performing their holy offices. The picture was found by Maguire hanging on the wall of a little hotel. The owner, Louis Dutertre, won the picture at a raffle held 30 years ago when the artist in San Francisco was reduced in circumstances. Father Montgomery and other noted Catholic clergymen in that city were unsuccessful purchasers of tickets. The painting is being shipped to James A. Murray, of Monterey.

Massachusetts Man Has a String Instrument That is a Wonder. Malden, Mass.—Out of a sugar barrel Frederick S. Hall, of Malden, has constructed a unique musical instrument, supposed to be a distant relative to the 'cello, and on the one string of the contrivance the performer plays arias and selections from famous operas. Hall got the Idea for the barrel 'cello one day when he heard the hollow sound made by some small boys rounding on a large hogshead. He believed that the hollow cavity of a good stout oaken barrel would produce a good sounding-board for a vibrating string. Procuring a 'cello string, Hall rigged it on the side of a barrel and then began his experiments. After several weeks' work he has perfected an instrument that gives a surprisingly mellow tone. Friends of the musician have been calling at his studio by the score for the past few days to hear the new musical instrument. Hall has received a large offer for the instrument from a circus performer, but he refused to part with it. Hall is well known in local musical circles. He is the composer of several tuneful songs and marches. BANKER BUYS WAITER A RANCH. David H. Moffat, Will Install Old Friend in Home Near Him. Denver, Col—David H. Moffat, millionaire banker and railroad builder of Colorado, who boasts as his friend Thomas Gay, head walter of the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, desires his friend to live near him, and as the first step in that direction has purchased a ranch of 15S acres in Routt county, near Steamboat Springs, which he is having put in shape before presenting it to Gay. Mr. Moffat bought the ranch for $4,800. He will spend a goodly portion of his time on the ranch with his old friend. The friendship of the two men has interfered with Moffat's business several times, but when a man objected to the Walter the banker wanted nothing to do with him. Once a Denver man took an eastern capitalist to Mr. Moffat's room in the hotel to talk over a business deal involving $250,000. They found Moffat playing poker with the Walter. They were introduced to him as they would have been to any other guest and the deal fell through on account of the attitude of the eastern man when a Walter was introduced to him as a social equal.

Cleveland, O.—"Eddie" Mullin, who for 29 years refused to leave the Cuyahoga county jail, died at the city-hospital. He was about 65 years of age. Mullin was a familiar figure about the county prison. He was picked up by a policeman one day in the fall of 1877 wandering aimlessly about. He was talking to himself about ships and Egypt. He was taken to the county jail to await an investigation as to his sanity. He was not violent and the probate court did not investigate his case. Hutch Buckley, member of the board of public safety, was then sheriff, and he ordered the release of Mullin. The prison doors swung open and Mullin was told that he was free. "I don't want to be free. Please let we stay here. This is the best place I have found since I left the ship—the good ship Alice." wailed Mullin with tears in his eyes. Mullin's manner touched the sheriff, and he said he could stay around the fall until he found a place to work. Mullin liked the fall so well that he did not try to get a job. Paris Widows Remarry Soon. Paris.—Statutes published here show that the widows of Paris marry again more readily than the widowers. In three years, 2,270 men who became widowers 148 married again within 12 months. Six hundred and twenty-eight more capped themselves after 13 months, and at the end of the three years 2,233 had remarried, leaving only 27 single. The widows of the last three years made even shorter work of their widowhood, for out of 1,907 of them, 1,904 had married within 18 months.

Denver, Col.-Definite act for the protection of investors in mining enterprises will be taken in the American mining congress, which will open in Denver October 16. A bill providing for the punishment of all mining fakirs and promoters will imate mining enterprises will be drafted and the measure will be submitted to the legislatures of the various states interested. The measure will likely be modeled after that of the California law which defines terms makes it a felony to use wrongful representations about mining properties. By furnishing protection against mining frauds, it is hoped to improve investment into successful chances in which the mineral production may be largely increased and the investment profit instead of loss. Steps will also be taken to make mine drainage districts and for the establishment of a department of mines and mining as a separate executive department of the national government.

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

The associated press dispatches from Atlanta, Ga., to the effect that dozens of colored citizens were killed and wounded and but a few of the mob that attacked them. This report is false. There were at least twenty-six of the mob killed and more would have been killed had the militia remained in. The colored man in the South is no coward, and the white mob is realizing that fact. The colored citizens of Georgia are no cowards and if the Georgia people think so, furnish the colored people with sufficient number of guns and they will soon convince the nation. There is no use to hide the fact, the colored man has got to fight when he is attacked without cause. All of this talk, "don't retaliate," is bosh. No man but a coward will remain silent and see his wife and children murdered by a mob. Why should we expect less from those innocent colored people in Georgia? It is asserted that the bad white and colored element in Georgia were the cause of the recent riot. If this be true, some of the so-called best white people in the city of Atlanta were seen leading the mob against innocent colored citizezns. It is so strange that the good (?) white people of Atlanta, Ga., should order the editor of the Augusta Baptist to leave for the publication of an article that appeared six years ago and permit John Temple Graves to remain who, by his firebrand editorials incited the riot. Dr. White's son, in his absence six years ago published an excerpt from The Washington Bee. This excerpt justified a young man for defending himself from the attack of two young white roughs who assaulted him and his colored lady whom he was escorting. Dr. White of the Augusta Baptist was ordered at that time to leave the City of Augusta, but when he explained that he knew nothing about the article and was not present when it was published, the crackers of Augusta accepted the explanation and permitted him to remain. Now because some persons had visions that a few colored men had attempted to assault several white women of Atlanta. No greater falsehood could have been circulated by the vile pen of John Temple Graves. He telegraphed teh lie to the Washington Post of this city, which no doubt, had been prepared several weeks before its publication. It didn't have the effect that Graves thought it would have upon the minds of the good and sensible white people in the North. The result of the whole business was, the white mob started a riot and before it was ended twenty-six white crackers were killed. SHAW, FORAKER OR FAIR-BANKS. In speaking of Presidential candidates, the colored voters would be satisfied with Secretary Shaw, Senator Foraker or Vice-President Fairbanks. In the coming Presidential contest the coolred voter intends to make his own selection and to support such men for President and VicePresident who will see that the Constitution of the United States is enforced. This has been a meddling administration; that is, it has inter- feared with other nations' business and left its own undone. It has sent thousands of United States troops into Cuba while a State has defied the laws of the United States by killing innocent and inoffensive citizens. Now if we had such men at the head of our government as those named above, The Bee is of the opinion that conditions would be better. Secretary Shaw would make a good President. He believes in manhood rights and protecting all citizens in the United States irrespective of color or condition. Senator Foraker is a brave man who believes in the Constitution and protecting the interests of the soldier. Vice President Fairbanks is a safe man and one the nation could trust. Outside of these three men the colored voter has no friend as Presidential candidates, unless some dark horse springs up who is a dyed-in-the-wool humanitarian. It is quite evident that the Republican party in the South has deserted the colored citizen. As a citizen and a voter he is a noneity in the body political. If the Republican party puts objectionable candidates in the field, the colored man will not support them. He has come to the conclusion that the ting has come for him to support men who will see that the Constitution is enforced and his rights protected. Certainly neither Mr. Taft nor Mr. Root will protect the rights of colored Americans. Mr. Root has declared that the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution should never have been adopted, or words to that effect. Mr. Root has no love for the colored American. His Union League speech succiliently demonstrated that. The coloredAmerican has come to the conclusion that there is no protection for him under this administration and it is his intention to think and act for himself so far as Presidential candidates are concerned. NOT ENOUGH? There are certain colored people in this city who insist on calling mass meetings to protest against certain imaginary wrongs. Long before the retirement of Mr. Geo. F. T. Cook from the superintendency of the colored schools protests were made against his retention and a few colored citizens joined in with a few merchants of the white schools and asker for an investigation of the school system. Not only was Mr. Cook assailed but many good teachers also. Well, Congress had an investigation and the colored schools that were then controlled entirely by the colored people passed out of their control into a joint board of trustees, the whites in majority. Not satisfied with this, these same colored individuals continued to protest and investigate until the colored teachers who held first places were subordinated and disgraced assistants. The conditions of the colored schools today is due to these self same malecontents and before long, The Bee expects to see white teachers in the colored schools, and no colored teacher in the white schools. Why don't these interlopers let the schools alone. There never was any contention or dissatisfaction in our school system until these interlopers and malcontents came to this city. Many of them were forced to leave their own States and cities because of their interference, and come to this city to interfere with our school system. The Bee is now speaking relative to the colored schools. It is true that The Bee has forced out of the schools several corrupted school officials, because they imposed upon many of our female teachers. Now we are having more mass meetings and for what purpose? An effort is being made to convince the colored people that Dr. Chancellor, the new superintendent of schools, is inimical to the colored schools. This is untrue. Dr. Chancellor is more friendly to our schools than any of these agitators and disorganizers of our public school system and the sooner the colored citizens cease to give encouragenmt to these irresponsible agitators and disorganizers, the better it will be for our schools. ATTORNEY COBB'S LETTER The letter of Mr. James Cobb that appeared in The Star a few days ago relative to the power vested in the colored superintendent does not cover the entire situation. Mr. Cobb does not mean to say that the colored superintendent has absolute power over the colored schools, any more than it can be said that Dr. Chancellor is at liberty to do what he pleases without the consent of the Board of Education. It is the duty of the colored superintendent, under the law, to consult the superintendent. The assistant superintendents are subordinates of the superintendent, no matter what schools they supervise or the nationality that attends them. If the assistant superintendents were not subject to the superintendent, there would be no necessity to have a head of the schools. In the first place there is but one school system in this city, with one head and two assistants. Whereas the schools are controlled and managed by one Board of Education, where is the necessity of different heads? While it is believed that Congress intended to allow the colored schools to have their own head, it did not intend that that head should inaugurate a different school system or work in opposition to the managing head of the schools. Mr. Cobb, no doubt, means that the colored superintendent has the power to recommend, to which The Bee agrees, but not absolute power to dictate to the superintendent. It is his prerogative to recommend, but not to say that such recommendations are final, or that the superintendent has not the authority to reject such recommendations. Attorney Cobb is a thorough race man, and one who has an opinion of his own. The Bee commends the letter of Mr. Cobb, but it cannot agree with it in its entirety. OUR PUBLIC PRINTER Public Printer Charles A. Stillings is doing his duty at the Government Printing office. The colored employees have no complaint to make because they are treated well, if not better than they have been treated for some time. Not that The Bee has any complaint to make against Public Printer Palmer or Mr. Ricketts, but it does complain against the sub-boys under former Public Printers. Under Stillings, many of the old prejudiced sub-bosses have been removed and better men appointed in their places. Since Mr. Stillings has been in charge, several worthy colored persons have been promoted. Several months ago Ira T. Bryant was assigned to work on a monotype machine, and next to follow was W. T. Menard, A. A. Mattin, W. E. Cobb and J. Edgar Smith have been added to the corps of operators. John W. Butcher, who for a number of years was the confidential messenger and file clerk of former Public Printer, but has been promoted to a position that pays him $1,500 per annum. James Jackson, another coolred employee has been promoted and more are expected to follow. If other heads of departments were as liberal toward the colored employees as Public Printer Stillings, there would be no complaint on the part of the colored people. However, the Public Printer is doing his duty and The Bee thanks him for his fairness toward the colored people. MR. WASHINGTON IN ATLANTA. In another column of he Bee this week will be read with interest a letter from Prof. Booker T. Washington, written in Atlanta, Ga., advising the students and other citizens to return to Atlanta, as everything is now safe, and protection will be accorded them. It is to be regretted that it became necessary for Mr. Washington to write such a letter in a civilized country. Nevertheless, The Bee is gratified to know that assurances have been made to Mr. Washington that protection has been assured the colored citizens. THE ELKS' JOURNAL The official organ of the Elks, The Elks' Journal, has made its seventh appearance. It is printed in Memphis, Tenn., and from all reports it is to be removed to this city. It is quite a newsy sheet and it is unlike many lodge journals, inasmuch as it sticks strictly to its mission. Our good townsman, Mr. Oscar D. Mor- GIVE CREDIT. We really appreciate having our editorials reproduced, and accept the same as a compliment, and only ask that we be given credit. The National Mirror neglected to give us credit for our editorial, "The New Spelling." THE ATLANTA MOB REIGN. From the Afro-American Presbyterian. The storm center of the race issue in this country has been at Atlanta the past week. The sad and disheartening story has been widely circulated by the daily press. The Associated Press representations have been yellow and sensational enough as is generally admitted, yet reliable private reports show that the whole situation has been dreadful, such as any civilized community should strive to avoid. From the Philadelphia Tribune. For a week, our race in particular, and the country in general, have been deeply stirred by the account of the barbarous, terribly cruel and unwarranted Atlanta riots. But not one word has come from the usually ready lips of Roosevelt, our so-called humane, Christian, just and brave President, who has announced himself as the Apostle of the "square deal." Is lie obligated to the South? Does he fear to take a bold stand in favor of the colored man? Does he forget the political loyalty of the Afro-Americans in the North who support him and his party? Does he favor a square deal for the white man only? From the Reformer. Atlanta boastful of her high civilization, in the lead, as she says, of all of her sister Southern cities, has brought upon herself the scorn of the nation and the contempt of civilization. From the American Baptist. The unfortunate race riot in Atlanta for two or three days beginning last Saturday evening is to be deplored and as the cause of shame to every law-loving and law-abiding citizen of that city. From the Pythian Advocate. Men taken from their daily-bread to be slain by a lawless and infuriated gang of vampires! The wonder to us is that they did not attempt to eat the victims of their vandalism; they were mean enough to. When will this sort of thing end? Will law ever take its course? From the Savannah Tribune. The affair in Atlanta is regretable for more reasons than one. We do not only regret the manner in which many of our men and women were killed and otherwise injured, but also regret the mob spirit. From the Indianapolis World. The mob spirit will yet prove a contagion and when white men begin to mob one another there will be a way found to cope with the situation without regard for the reserved rights of the states. From Columbus Evening Dispatch. Atlanta will find the sovereign remedy for her troubles in the law, but rather more in the law preventive than in the law punitive. She is closing up the dives where the crimes are hatched, and that is the best thing that it is possible now to do. The next best thing is to keep them closed and to punish legally, promptly and fully every crime that comes up from any other source. From the Southern Reporter. From the Southern Reporter. The whites are called upon to put a stop to the printing of exaggerated and exciting accounts of crimes and fancied wrongs of negroes. The flaming headlines in the Atlanta newspapers were From the Independent. There is no need that the law-abiding negro people in any part of the state to become alarmed and discouraged because of Atlanta's blood shedding. But rather stand up to duty, prove worthy of the confidence and helpfulness of the best white people that has protected and assisted us in the past. From the Birmingham Reporter. Who knows that there has been a rape case in Atlanta? Some say the riot was caused by a negro snatching a woman's pocketbook. Some steps must be taken if the law will protect men in this section of the country and allow the low white men to commit crime as will. From the Colored World. If we could influence the law to take speedy action to punish those guilty of lynching we would not be troubled with these outbreaks which occur so frequently in the South lands. We regret that the colored people of Atlanta resented the crime against them in the same way that of the Caucasian. From the Nashville Globe. The whites killed the blacks yet the militia made wholesale arrests of the latter. They probably put the negroes in the Atlanta jail to keep the enraced populace from getting them. From the Star. What a remarkable thing it is that nearly a dozen or more rape outrages should be committed in a city like Atlanta in so short a time. From the St. Louis Advance. The facts and circumstances surrounding this mob bear us out in the assertion that it was a preconcerted and premeditated slaughter. From the Charleston Messenger. There is at least one great lesson to be gotten from Atlanta's disgraceful scene and that is the effect of yellow, sensational journalism and blather-skite oratory. From the Sentinel. Atlanta has placed the flag of infamy higher than it has ever been placed before in this country. From the Standard. Fair Atlanta is fair no more. From the Weekly Guide. The whole world stood aglast at the horrible massacre, wondering how such an event could take place in a so-called highly civilized country. From Jackson News. In a civilized country, the government should be strong enough to protect the weakest and humblest citizens. In fact that is the proper test for the right of a government to exist. From Odd Fellows' Journal. We would advise those who are leaving not to come to any of the large cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia or Chicago, but to go into the small towns and country places of the West, and best of all on the farms. From the Boston Guardian. The Atlanta massacre is simply unspeakable. We mourn for the dead and the bereaved. We shudder when we think of the insecurity for our friends there. The whites were as cowardly as they were brutal. They gave no warning and hundreds fell upon one victim. One thing is proven—that the colored people of Georgia are brave. From the Advocate We say we do not hold all guilty for the fall-of Atlanta, for there are thousands of real Americans throughout the North and South, gentle, loving men and women who would not knowingly wrong the humblest man or woman in the republic. From the New York Age. For months and months the Atlanta newspapers controlled by white men responsible for the situation in Atlanta than any other agencies. From the Afro-American Ledger. It is to be hoped that the Afro-Americans of the South will, just at this time, keep cool heads. We know the provocation is great, but at present no good can come of rashness. From the Pensacola Brotherhood. If the negro would unite and decide—let us all go to heaven or hell together—this would put somebody to thinking. From the Brunswick Herald. As long as the white savage knows that he can get drunk, kill and wreck a community and won't be hurt by his white officer brother, so long will the country continue to go to the devil.

Racks to Mr. Alfred F. Howard occurred Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, September 26. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Logan Johnson. The bride was attended by her sister, Bessie, and Mr. George C. Smith, an old friend of her father. Owing to the long and severe illness of her mother she was quietly married at the residence of the pastor. Mrs. Howard is the youngest daughter of the late John Rass, one of Washington's oldest and most respected citizens. She is a most accomplished young lady, having graduated from the M Street High School in June last. Mr. Howard is a young business man from the Armstrong Manuel Training School of this city. They have taken up their residence at 3411 Sherman avenue, N. W. MR. JOSEPH DOUGLASS WEDS. The announcement of the marriage of Mr. Joseph Douglass, the grandson of the late Hon.

Miss Howard was one of the foremost ladies in the social circle of Atlanta. We hope for Mr. and Mrs. Douglass a happy voyage on their new journey through life. MAYBE HE IS. From the Seattle Republican. Fred Conlin, "a white man," occupies a cell in the Whatcom County jail, charged with having raped his own 16-year-old daughter.

CORROTHERS ENTERTAINS THE LAWYERS. ing thereby an opportunity for the assassination of character, the venomous back biter, the sneak, the ingrate, and the false friend to vent his spite upon many, witout incurring personal responsibility. We should open our eyes and ears, keep our mouths closed until we can exercise sober judgment to discuss the many perplexing questions which confront us as a race especially in this community. We should favor unanimously home rule. The promotion of the Hon. Ashley M. Gould to be the Associate Justice of the Court of Appeals of the District, who is fair and impartial, knows the residents, a man who knows no one by reason of the color of his skin, or would condescend to vent his innest feelings against any. The Supreme bench contains men of the highest character and integrity. While we are mindful of the fact that we are without representation, either in the position clerk, bailiff or cryer, yet we should work to that end, representing 90,000 colored people, many who pay taxes on real and personal property, should endorse and stand by those who protect the race. The Hon. D. W. Baker, United States District Attorney, who will some day see his way clear to give one of the many colored practicing Attorneys an opportunity and the race representation by appointment, should be endorsed to be the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to succeed Hon. M. Ashley M. Gould. The many white members of the Bar are our friends with few exceptions and while we are not members of the Bar Association, and have not free access to their Law Library, which occupies room in a United States Government Building, in the near future our friends only prove true to ourselves and our her high social standing, she is an ackause. We have not been and are not now united. Jealousies should be obliterated from our midst. United we stand, divided we fall. The love for the profession and for one another in it, should be like the tie which bound Damon to Pythias. We condemn lynchings and mob violence, and stand for law and order. And there should be a Federal Law making it a crime for any newspaper to publish or contain or use words of an American citizen as a nigger, dago, Hebrew or Irishman. News relating to crime and misdemeanor should be regulated by statute. Often from a newspaper's standpoint, mankind are tried and convicted before the iron hand of the law has taken jurisdiction, and men of weak judgments are incensed to violate the law by the glary headlines and ex parte statements printed oftimes to suit the whims and fancies of the writer. There should be no restraint upon those who desire to preach the gospel to those especially who live in the alleys and by-ways, and seldom attend any church or Sunday school. There should be fewer bar and pool rooms located in the midst of the poor and ignorant. Attorney John E. Collins was the next speaker. Mr. Collins is a concise and positive pleader at the bar. He spoke of the success of the colored members of the bar and the esteem in which they are held by the court. He advocated unity of action and brotherly love. The first duty of a lawyer is to be true and honest with his client and honest to each other. He denied the assertion that colored lawyers are not respected in the courts. So far as he saw, the colored lawyer has the respect and confidence of all the courts. The lawyer who doesn't respect himself cannot hope, said Mr. Collins, to have the respect of any one. Mr. John W. Paiterson spoke of his experience at the bar and what the colored lawyer ought to do. Addresses were also made by Attorneys James L. Nevol, Thomas L. Jones and M. T. Clinkseales. ARCHDEACON AND MRS. POLI- The fourth anniversary birthday dinner of little Miss Susie Clayton Cheatham, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. H. P. Cheatham, in honor of Archdeacon and Mrs. J. H. Pollard on Monday afternoon of this week was one of the most delightful social affairs of the year in Littleton. Little Susie Clayton is so charming in her manner that her guests were all made to feel that they wished her birthdays would come with more frequency. There were about thirty guests, exclusive of the Archdeacon and his bride, who were the guest-of honor. The dinner was served in courses and the menu would have done credit to a Washington caterer. The Hon. and Mrs. Cheatham were happy in the entertainment of their guests, and at the conclusion of the elaborate repast some delightful toasts were proposed to the honored hosts, the distinguished guests of honor and the charming and happy little Susie Clayton Cheatham: Mrs. R. J. Perry of Weldon, has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. H. P. Cheatham, for several days. J. T. C. NEWSOME. About the first of next year Mr. John F. C. Newsome, who has been a valuable and progressive citizen of Washington, will leave this city with his wife and three interesting children, two boys and one girl, for Vineetta, L. T., the most agreeable place in the Indian Territory. Mr. Newsome has purchased one of the best lots in this beautiful and growing town which he will begin a new life. What The Bee means by a new life is that he will start a new business. Mr. Newsome has just returned from this beautiful country to this city a week ago. The purpose of introducing to the people in the East and South the H. MR. JOHN T. NEWSOME two oil wells that are in operation in the territory. Mr. Newsome has a host of friends in this city who will regret his absence. He is doing good business in which he is engaged now, but being desirable of exercising the rights of citizenship and vote for men of his choice. Mr. Newsome has decided to leave this city and go to a country where the rights of citizenship are not denied a man on account of his color or condition. He has a very interesting little family. Mrs. Newsome is a thorough business woman and a great help to her husband. The Bee wishes Mr. Newsome and his family much success in the new field of labor. MRS W W TAYLOR. Mrs. W. W. Taylor, the accomplished wife of the Editor of the Utah Plaindealer, is enroute to this city. Mrs. Taylor is one of the leading women in Utah and one that is highly respected. It is said that she was a belle before her marriage to the distinguished Editor of the Plaindealer 70 and since her marriage to the well-known editor she leads in society. Mrs. Taylor will visit many States and cities before her arrival in this city. Aside from complished lady. Her visit to the city will be looked forward to with pleasure by her many social friends. The Bee welcomes the lady of Salt Lake City to the capital of the nation and the city of magnificent distances. A LESSON FROM A LAND THIEF. From Maxwell's Talisman. One may learn a valuable leson, even from a land thief. One of the expedients to which the thief has resorttid, in order to get possession of land under the homestead law, has been the erection of a "shack" or rude dwelling of four rooms, so located at the point where the corners of four quarter-sections came together that one room would be upon each quarter-section. In each room he has quartered a man to personate a settler, thus making a show of technical compliance with the provisions of the homestead law, requiring the erection of a dwelling on each claim and actual residence therein. A building arranged for four families, erected at the point where four "crofts" come together, might prove advantageous, not only in the economy of construction, but in the saving of ground, the economy of fuel and the promotion of neighborliness. A NEGRO WHO SPEAKS FIVE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. From the Austin Watchman. Conselor Junus C. Ayler delivered a unique address Sunday at the Young Men's Christian Association in West 53rd street on "The Languages," in which he spoke in Hebrew, German, Yiddish, French and English.

Atlanta, Ga., September 29, 1906. Dear Sir-I have just spent some time upon the grounds of Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary, with President Crogmen and Dr. Bowen. I have also looked very thoroughly into conditions so far as our people are concerned and I have no hesitancy in advising the students of Clark and Gammon to return as speedily as possible to these two institutions, and since getting into direct touch with the presidents of these institutions, I am convinced that new students as well as old ones will find themselves perfectly safe on the grounds and in the city of Atlanta as well. The dangerous period I am sure has passed. During the last few days President Crogman and Dr. Bowen have passed through severe trials for these two institutions and for the race, but they have manfully and courageously stood at their posts. When the true history of the Atlanta disturbance is written it will be shown that no two individuals acted more heroically and deserve greater credit than is true of President Crogman and Dr. Bowen. They have done their duty, now let the race do its duty by supporting and encouraging them. It would prove of great value just now to these great and grand men for the race to crowd these two institutions with students as speedily as possible, and I very much hope this will be done. The grand rally at Galbraith A. M. E.' Zion Church will begin Sunday, October 7. On that date Rt. Rev. Bishop Alex. Walters, A.M., D.D., president of the Afro-American Council, has requested that prayers be made in our churches throughout the country for our brethren who are suffering in the Southland. At Galbraith the day will be observed in old-fashioned Methodist order. At 7 o'clock A. M. there will be an altar and praise service and at 11 o'clock A. M. the pastor, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D.D., will preach on the "Overruling Providence of God." In the evening at 8 o'clock on "The Poor Man's Defense." THAT REFUSAL From the Daily Picayune, New Orleans. The refusal to allow the rendering of the "Clansman" seems to be the expression of a fear that it will arouse the negroes to violence. In such a possibility there must be no paltering. It must be met and there must always be readiness to meet it. No expression of timidity will keep off danger. It will encourage trouble. The greatest numbers of the negroes are quiet, peaceable, and they are entitled to full protection. The atrocious criminals should receive prompt and summary punishment. If the people have no confidence in the machinery of the law it is the fault of the machinery and those who control it. THE FIRM. From the Cleveland Journal: The Hon. John P.

COLUMBIA ICE AND COAL CO, Fifth and K Sts., N. W. EBGRAY OR THE BLACK HEIR ```markdown ``` With the permission of Zella, Edgray moved to the back seat and telling her at the same time that he feared she would get lonesome waiting for Pearl. Zella called his attention to the submissive swaying of the tall grass to gentle breeze which played in its midst. "Yes, this reminds me of our younger days when we, with the other children, went to the fields for daisies. The last time we gathered daisies we carried them to decorate the graves of the dead soldiers." "All the girls said that you had the biggest bunch and the largest daisies. I gathered all of yours and you would not let me assist any one else. Do you remember that you said that I was to serve you?" "Now we are grown we can better comprehend the meaning of what you said, and make some kind of pledge to each other. I avoided saying anything to you while you were away for I knew that Pearl would look after my cause. Now I am prepared to act for myself and I hope you will not refuse to hear what I may say to you." "I know my sister has told you of all my plans so I need not go over them." "You must have known all along that you were, are and will be the only girl on whom I could place my affections. It is in your power to make me happy or to make me miserable and depend upon it you will never rest contented if you prefer to do the latter." Edgray did not think of how he was stating his feelings. He was determined to go through the ordeal and be over with it. He had been foiled in so many attempts. There was a pause, then he began by asking Zella to name the time when he could claim her as his wife. Zella had understood him from the start, even when he wrapped the reins around the whip handle she felt a flutter which indicated that after all she had not prepared herself for what she knew Edgray was going to say to her. She wanted to join Pearl and gather some grass also, but Edgray would not consent. She thought that Edgray the man was very different from Edgray the boy. Mustering to her command all her will power she began: "What would Myra Thom say if she only knew what you have said to me? You told us that she was the prettiest girl on the excursion; that you danced many times. Why you really permitted your sister Ruby to go home alone while you escorted Myra home. Certainly you must have known all along that my uncle Provost is in love with Myra and is only waiting for her to name the day for their marriage. You have given her attention on so many occasions to the exclusion of all the other girls." "I know that Myra is older than you but that is nothing, a difference in age amounts to little where love rules supreme. How am I to blend what I heard with the profession you make to me?" Zella's eyes did not prove themselves to be the windows through which Edgray could read the secret of the heart of Zella Ovalton. The whole time she was speaking she was calm and positive. Edgray hoped in his heart to be able to extricate himself from the false position in which Zella's accusations had put him. He was relieled when she had concluded and taking her by the hand told her that she had misunderstood all she had related. He said that she had openly and unhesitatingly accused him of being untrue and that if what she had said were true he would be a man without any regard for right. He then told Zella that Ruby, his sister, in her effort to punish Provost Lerkell for inattention to Myra Thom, had been the cause of all the attention he had given to Myra. He told her that Ruby had told his mother who in turn told him the whole secret. "If," began Edgray, "I have squared myself in your estimation and you require no further explanation permit me to call your attention to my request." Handing her a small calendar he asked her to name an early date, for he knew that there were others who were trying to win Zella. "Why, Zella, dear, our marriage would be one of the surest health restorers your mother could wish," but Zella thought she should wait until Mrs. Ovalten was fully restored to health. Seeing that Edgray was not to be baffled she borrowed his pencil and drew a line under the date which pleased her. Edgray looked at the selected date, smiled and bending over pressed a kiss on the hand of Zella. To his gratification the time was just one month from the time he had asked Zella to name the day. Edgray was so "A Peculiar People," "Levi Trooman, The Washington Bee) elated that he did not want to talk of anything else, while Zella turned his attention to Pearl. "Suppose we make an effort to have Pearl return; we shall not be able to get home with the grass seed." Edgray got out of the carriage, but did not go many steps before Pearl started towards them. When she was in speaking distance she said something was wrong, all the seed were too ripe and fell out of the little pods. "I have only collected a very small quantity, but the exercise was beneficial. I thank you for your patience." "I wish you would let me drive back, you know that I am an expert," said Pearl as they started homeward. "Under some other circumstances I might, but Zella wants to talk to you. I will continue to be coachman." "I will not trouble her to tell me all you two have said, just tell me the date you have set so that I may begin to prepare." Pearl wanted to see Edgray married, as she had promised to be Zella's bridesmaid and her wedding would follow her brother's. On their return Mrs. Ovalton seemed brighter after chatting with Mrs. Jones. Pearl lost no time telling the two ladies what had happened while out driving. The news was very acceptable, as both ladies knew that more hearts than two would throb with joy. Ruby was the only one that acted in an unconcerned manner, she wanted to teach. She had as yet no love affair yet she liked Rev. Trueman, only liked him. She said one of the children ought to remain at home with the old folks. Dixma Ovalton declared that he could, not marry and leave his brother's widow and child alone on their own resources. Pearl Jones was to be his wife and he was to take Zella's mother to live with them. Provost Lerkell was anxious about his niece and her mother also but intended to marry Myra Thom and occupy the house of his sister, Mrs. Ovalton, as soon as Zella was married. Such a whirl in the social circle of the dark-skinned four hundred of Fair-View had never before occurred. Mrs. Ovalton was soon in possession of her usual health and issued the invitations to the marriage of her daughter Zella to Edgray Jones. The following week Hon. and Mrs. Cassau Thom sent out invitations to the marriage of their daughter Myra to Mr. Provost Lerkell. One month from the marriage of Edgray the marriage of his sister Pearl to Mr. Dixma Ovalton took place. Lawyer Rostro Ekil declared that a man's good looks and his profession should be preferable to a coachman and his money. Lawyer Ekil had done every thing in his power to win Zella from Edgray. Dr. Stonely said that he had concluded that a gentlemanly coachman, in his sphere was as great as a M.D. The girls were more thoughtful about the three swell weddings than anything else. Many of those who were going to these weddings were going to attend with the earnest desire to make favorable impressions on some of the disappointed lawyers and doctors, who would not miss attending the wedding of Edgray Jones. For the first time in all their married life Mr. and Mrs. Goodman really disagreed. It was well enough to start Edgray in business and give him and his sisters a nice sum of money, but shely moving into the house where her two children were born. Mr. Goodman desired to rid himself of the house because his two children had died there and their memory haunted him. "The colored people up north do not live in the aristocratic sections with the whites. 'I am sure,'" continued Mrs. Goodman, "the people will not tolerate Edgray and his family." Edgray was already in the possession of all the papers which made him the sole owner of the former home of the Goodmans. Mr. Goodman thought over all his wife had said and determined to find out just how his old neighbors would treat Edgray. He sent a paper to them asking them if they did not object to having $ nice colored family move in his house after he had gone to his new house to sign their names. There could have been no objections, for each one signed the paper. The house was put in readiness for Edgray's occupancy, and the whole town was in commotion on his wedding day. When the hour arrived for the bridal party to enter the church every available bit of space was occupied. From the organ loft came sweet strains of music which sounded as if afar off. It was a hard thing to tell who was the happier man, Edgray or his father. Zella, leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Provost Lerkell, was the last of the bridal party to enter. Her beauty had never shown to such an advantage as it did on her wedding night. At the altar she was met by Edgray, who emerged from among the green foliage arranged about the altar. "Edgray Jones, will you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, love and cherish her?" rang out in the crowded sanctuary, and the "I will" was even louder. "There being no objections," said the minister, "I pronounce you, Edgray Jones and Zella Ovalton, man and wife." Edgray had hardly allowed the sound to die on his lips of the minister when he took the arm of Zella and placed it gently on his and proudly, yet silently marched out of the edifice to the sweet strains of music which pealed forth from the organ. None were allowed to precede Edgray and his bride in their new home. Just before crossing the threshold Edgray stopped with Zella at his side. She did not comprehend his reason for stopping, and looked in his face for an explanation. He pressed a kiss on her upturned lips and said: "Zella, my wife, I usher you into our new home to add to your happiness, you are my queen, on you I shall ever depend for sunshine to light up our home." The only light visible when Edgray and Zella reached the door, was a dim taper on a small stand in the hallway. He raised his right hand to the side of the door facing nearest him and concluded by saying: "You are to shine in our home more brilliantly than what you now behold." Edgray had pressed a button and the sight caused by the electric lights streaming from all parts of the house, baffled description. Zella was more nervous than she had been at any time in her life when, as they descended the stairs to the spacious partors to receive their friends, the fact began to dawn on her that she had been blessed beyond all expectations. It was truly an honor conferred on all who had been invited to the wedding feast. In the midst of friends, flowers and congratualtions is to be seen Zella Jones, the wife of the leading and richest coachman known among the dark-skinned 'cititzns-of the United States of America, EDGRAY JONES ( THE END. ) PARROT IS TOO TALENTED. Brings Loss to Roadhouse Man and He Gives It Away. 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 Jemmiah. 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 watters called through the open windows to the professor behind the mahogany. The wise bird could distinguishe a horse's neck from a mint julep within three weeks. It was when Jemimah began to call out the order for drinks on her own book that trouble began. "Scotch highball and two up," Jemimah 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 murphy 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 keepings 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. LOT FARMS IN BERLIN UPWARD OF 1,000 OF THEM NOW IN CULTIVATION. Started In 1900 with 94—Miniature Country Houses That Have Become the Scene of Healthy Activity and Innocent Pleasure. New York.—The visitor to the German capital who is not satisfied with the beaten track of the guide book and the average sightseer may at this season of the year find in Charlottenburg or any of the outlying districts of the city a spectacle not only unusual and picturesque, but delightful from a sociological standpoint. One comes across tracts of land slightly below the street level which are green with regular rows of vegetables or brilliant with beds of flowers. At one end of each garden plot is a simple little hut or a latticed arbor covered with vines. Men are busy with spades, women with rakes, children with sprinkling cans. Or they sit about a home-made table in the shade and slip their coffee and consume—as every genuine Berliner does—enormous quantities of cake. There is an air, of contentment about the scene which is doubly refreshing after the sight of the bustling crowds, loaded with lunch baskets, that plod along the hot and dusty roads toward the beer gardens of the Grunewald. These people have no need to seek the open; they enjoy an outing on ground which is theirs. A number of societies which have at heart the health and the welfare of the people are the founders of the philanthropy which offers the workingman living with his family in a sturdy tenement a plot of ground, easy of access, where he can rest from indoor work by a little gardening. They took the cue from an exhibit at the Paris exposition of 1900, where the Ligue Francaise du Colin de Terre et du Foyer demonstrated the work of 60 corporations that have given to French laborers plots of ground where these people grow their own supply of vegetables and in doing so improve their physical well being and add to the few and simple joys of their life. The German societies leased two tracts of unimproved land near a workingman's district of Charlotten- View of the Vacant Lot Farms. burg, subdivided them into 94 plots; and raffled them off among those who applied for them, families with many children being first considered. In the center, of every garden plot was a playground for the little ones. The societies started the work of preparing the ground and even furnished fertilizers and seeds. This being done, the plots were taken over and cared for by the families to whose share they had allen. The enthusiasm and perseverance with which these city dwellers entered upon their farming was surprising. Instead of crowding in a train or a tram bound for the pleasure resorts in the suburbs, these people place their youngest child, their tools and their lunch basket in the baby's carriage and set out early in the morning to spend their holiday in their own garden. There father and mother work or rest, and the children play in the open until late in the evening, when one can see processions of them returning to their city flats. Nor is it only on holidays that they resort to their gardens. As soon as the warm weather has set in, the wives go there early in the afternoon, the children follow after school hours and the father joins the family on coming from his work. The principal meal of the family being taken at noon, it is quite possible for the family of a Berlin workman owning such a garden to spend from five to seven hours daily in the open. When not busy caring for their potatoes, cabbages, cucumbers and other vegetables, the mothers sit in the shade of the arbors sewing, while the children romp about. There is a spirit of emulation among the people which is encouraged by the patrons, who at an annual harvest feast view the results attained and join in the general merrymaking. It is their aim not only to promote the physical well being of the people, but to foster a feeling of neighborliness. To strengthen this spirit of solidarity and prevent an estrangement among the plot neighbors during the long winter, there is at least one meeting of a social nature on the grounds in the cold season. This enterprise is hardly five years old, but the 94 plots originally given to the people in Charlottenburg have become upward of 1,100 in various parts of Berlin. Extraordinary reasons must prevail if any owner decides to give up his plot. When one of those rare cases occurs, there are hundreds of applicants eager to fill the vacancy. The people cling to the bit of ground as if it were a valuable old family place. CANADA BEAVER FARM PREACHER, HAS THRIVING COLONY IN DOMINION. Animals Are Very Industrious and Have No Use for Lazy Members of the Flock—Pelts Bring Good Prices. Duxbow, Sask.—On the farm of Rev. W. E. Christmas, a few miles from this town, exists one of the few beaver farms of Canada. Within the limit of the farm are five large dams, peopled by some 200 beavers. The banks of the Souris river, which runs through the farm, are fringed with popular trees, supplying the beavers with the best of building material, and also with daily bread. According to a law passed in 1896 it is illegal to kill beavers until the fall of 1908, consequently this colony is waxing strong and multiplying rapidly. Having been protected from the trappers for the past ten years, the beavers are becoming very tame, and do not seem to mind a casual encounter, although they do most of their work by moonlight. One night these beavers cut down 53 trees, according to Rev. Mr. Christmas, who takes a great deal of interest in his little tenants, and watches carefully to see that no harm comes to them. These beavers are very industrious and have no use for one of their number who refuses to do his share of the work. When such a member of the flock is noticed the others drive him away to live in solitude as a bachelor." It takes the beavers only a short time to fell a large sized tree, and they are able to throw it in any direction. When once felled the tree is quickly cut up into lengths for house, dams, or food, as may be required. The house of the beaver is built on the bank of the river, with its entrance under water. Once having built the entrance the rest of the house is started, the whole colony working at the house until it is finished, and when it is completed it is warm, dry and cozy. A beaver family usually consists of four or five, and comes into the world with its eyes wide open. The young ones live with their parents for two years, and then they are ready to shift for themselves. The full grown beaver measures about two feet in length, with a tall some ten inches long, which he can use as a spade or trowel, as well as a paddle. The average age is 15 years, although some have been known to live to be 20. When the animal is nine years of age its pelt is at its prime, and will fetch from $10 to $12 in Minneapolis. WANTS TO WED ONCE MORE. Rich Old Farmer Who Has Had Four Wives Seeks a Fifth. Monterey, Ind.—Daniel Overmeyer, of this town, has been in consultation with his attorney, M. M. Hathaway, of Winamac, as to filing proceedings for a divorce against Mrs. Mildred Smith Overmeyer, of Noblesville, upon the ground of abandonment and desertion. This aged Romeo has been married four times, twice divorced and separated by death from two wives. He told his attorneys as soon as he was free again he was going to Argos, north of this place, and probably would marry a widow, the mother of five children, by the name of Laura Heckhorne. If he failed to bring the widow to terms he was going to South Bend and accept a proposition from a young woman of that place. "Mr. Overmeyer is about 75 years old, owner of a fine farm, the father of 11 children. "To each child, upon its marriage, he gave 80 acres of land, $700 and a team of horses. His present wife was the daughter of former Mayor Smith, of Noblesville, and Overmeyer says she was never intended for a farmer's wife. He says newspaper- advertising—"Wanted, a wife"—brings scores of letters from women, begging to be some man's wife, but that choosing a wife is like tradiqg horses--you don't know what you have until you "get stuck in the bargain." RAISES AN ELECTRIC TREE. New Benjamin Franklin Arises in the Keystone State. Brunt Cabin, Pa.—William Kronenberg, an eccentric scientist living in the mountains near here, is making experiments with a new variety of tree that he calls the electric light plant. Noticing the phosphorescent light be found around decayed tree stumps, he conceived the idea of using it for the benefit of mankind. Taking an ordinary wild grapevine at several stumps, he was gratified after several years' culture to see the fruit emit a rich white glow. Mr. Kronenberg has one plant which gives off sufficient light to read by, and he is wring his log cabin with the grapevine. He says that if he can develop the electric light plant sufficiently it will come into general use on account of its cheapness and safety. To Teach Filipinos Farming. Washington.—W. A. Sutherland, of the bureau of Insular affairs, who has charge of the Filippino students being educated in this country at the government expense, left Washington the other day for New Orleans. He will make arrangements there to place agricultural students in positions where they may acquire knowledge of methods used in growing sugar, tobacco, rice and other crops suited to the Philippine islands. FIRST CHURCH BUILT BY JOSSE SM. TH. Is Still Standing at Kirtland, O. When Erected by the Proper- Now Used by Latter Day Saints. Kirtland, O.—The first Mormonland is still standing in land, O. If the occupants of little cemetery near it could they would tell how many a realot gave his lands he his all to provide funds ing of the temple. It was in 1830 that Smith appeared in Kirtland, and with his wife was a social revolution in which Ohio had never wilted. His bands left their wives and their mothers deserted their husbands were placed in the woods. The end came when Joseph Smith was compelled to flee the state. The temple was all that was after hind. "A storehouse of the Lord in Smith called it, was begun in and by 1834 was completed. Its institution was laid on seven terraces or hills in imitation of the Roman old. The dimensions was about 125 feet. The stone walls were feet in thickness. The temple stands to-day about as it was when built. On the first floor is the main audience room, filled with walnut benches surrounded by a high railing. The doors to the pews have locks or catches, so that when chosen whoever is speaking is reasonably sure of holding his audience. At each end of the room a series of elevated thrones, one rising above the other, marks the position during worship used by the dignitaries of Joseph Smith's reign. Rows of both in the ceiling show how the curtains which were once used were arranged to divide the floor into four apartments. The floor above is bare and delicate looking. About 60 chairs placed here indicate that it is used as a part of lecture hall, but in the days of Smith curtains divided this apartment just as below. Rollers fastened to the ceiling of the second floor, together with a system of pulleys, enabled the operator to raise or lower the curtains of both first and second floors at the same time. In the third story several partitions running north and south make a number of separate chambers. The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the body which worships in this temple now tries to follow literally the Book of Mormon, which, be it known, prohibits polygamy. The doctrine of plural wives was one of Smiths revelations." Yet this sect defies Joseph Smith, polygamy and all REWARD FOR KIND NIECE.

Washington—Nowhere in the are bank deposits increase greater ratio than in the United The French, justly famed for economy and saving proclivity easily outclassed by the Americans reputed spendthrifts and the most travagant people on earth. Official figures just at hand show that France from 1885 to 1905 bank deposits increased from $182,000,000 to $500,000,000, or 218 per cent. In the United States during the same years the deposits increased from $1,248,000,000 to $4,735,000,000, or 271 per cent. The great increase is properly chargeable to the prosperity enjoyed in the United States rather than to a healthy growth of the habit of economy Big Turtle in Mall Bag. Middletown. N. Y.—A large snapping turtle arrived in a mall bag in the post office here. A large number of mall bags had been emptied. When the clerk reached for a bundle a bead popped out and snapped at his hand. The clerk was badly frightened. Kicking away the pile of mail, he covered the turtle. It weighed about 15 pounds and was very ferocious, snapping at everything in sight. It had the run of the post office for a few minutes until a negro porter turned it on its back and got a rope around it. There was nothing to indicate where it had come from and the clerk did not know which bag it had been in. QUAINT CHARACTERS HARRY OLD FISHERMEN OF THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST.

He seems to be a regular Jonah, for hers has come in this last week that he beats lost his boat and his life on this present trip. There has been been nothing out on the Georges, where Johnson is halibut fishing, and a dangerous place for these fishermen are near the line of steamers. A few days ago of the Norwood were in the boat he heard the noise of a steamer, and as she came near it was feared she would be schooner. They blew the boat at the steamer did not hear Johnson ordered his boat into some of the dories ready to pull out of the water when necessary. Out of the fog burst the outline of a big tram steamer plowing ahead at its speed brushing so close as to take the Norwood dance with the sea from the steamer. Then the steamer vanished into the dense black went Capt Johnson and his men to their fishing again. He professed that two such experiences kept together made him feel a bit better. Although he has made money as fisheries he has not lost his love to the sea and when April comes he hasard fishes until September. He was vessel, and thus is skipper used as fisherman. When asked if he had crossed the Atlantic again in order he answered emphatically: "No there is neither honor, glory or money in it now." The oldest skipper is Capt. Soloman who has followed the sea for many years.

Henderson, Jr. Washington.—As a residence for their son, John B. Henderson, Jr., who has just been nominated for congress in the Virginia district just across the Potomac, former Senator and Mrs. John B. Henderson have just completed a Venetian "palazzo" in Sixteenth street, which is unique in the architecture of the capital, and is one of the most interesting additions to the many fine homes here. It is just a few blocks above their own residence, Boundary Castle, on the highest ground of Executive avenue, commanding a view of the entire city. "The palazzo" is in the Venetian Gothic style, this design having been chosen because of its fitness here, where strong sunshine and bright THE VENETIAN "PALAZZO." (Built for John B. Henderson, Jr., by Former Senator.) skies give Washington a climate much like that of central Italy. The "palazzo" has a frontage of 40 feet in Sixteenth street and 85 feet in Euclid street. It is four stories in height, and with its cross brick walls is practically fireproof. The exterior of the first story is entirely of white marble, while the upper portion is in Venetian pink marble with white unglazed terra cotta trimmings, with polished marble columns supporting the arches of the loggias and windows, the flat, undecorated surfaces being white marble stucco. The many and graceful balconies are a characteristic feature of the style. The roof is covered with a seal brown Ludovici tile, and a large roof garden forms another striking feature of the house. Former Senator and Mrs. J. B. Henderson have been residents of Washington for many years. Senator Henderson having built Boundary Castle when he came to congress from Iowa. Their son, John B. Henderson, Jr., who has entered politics in Virginia, is scholarly and a hard worker, and his friends predict success for him in public life. Mrs. Henderson recently attracted nations attention by having the contents of her husband's wine cellar emptied into the gutter, with Mr. Henderson's consent. Frank African Monarch. Litia, the son of King Lewanika, of Africa, is described as a most intelligent man, anxious for the improvement of the people, and probably sharing the view of his father, who, on his return from attending the coronation, began his opening speech to his people with the words: "You are baboons! simply that!" FAMOUS OLD FLAGSHIP NIAGARA TO BE RAISED FROM LAKE ERIE Vessel Made Memorable Through Heroic Deeds of Commodore Perry to Be Preserved as a Naval Relic. ```markdown ``` Washington.—The rate bill, pure food inspection measure and the selection of a type for the Panama canal are among the legislative products of the session of congress just ended that have the largest share of interest from a practical standpoint, but from a historic viewpoint the house, senate and president, at the instance of Representative Arthur L. Bates, enacted no more interesting law than that appropriating $20,000 to raise the famous old flagship Niagara from Lake Erie and preserve it as a 'permanent sailors' home at Erie, Pa., as a memorial to the first victory of an American fleet over a foreign foe. The bill provides for the salvage work under the direction of the secretary of the navy and for the erection of a suitable building of brick and stone for housing the vessel after it is transported to land. The site contemplated by the board of trustees of the soldiers' and sailors' home of Erie, who are made the custodians of the vessel, for the proposed building is on a bluff overlooking Lake Erie, making a most appropriate setting for carrying out the patriotic intentions of the advocates of the restoration plan. Thereafter the naval relic is to be kept on exhibition free to the public at all times. The size of the building may be judged from the fact that the Niagara which was built after the same model as the Lawrence, was 100 feet straight rabbet, 30 feet beam, 9 feet hold and was pierced for 20 guns. Every American knows of the heroic deeds of Perry at the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812. It is one of the brightest pages in a naval history lustrous in'deeds of valor. Contrary to an impression that has galned currency the Niagara did not sink during the battle. It was not until years later, when the memory of the great victory was fading into forgetfulness that the Niagara found a resting place at the bottom of the lake. The water at this point is not very deep, and the location of the wreck has been well identified. Fortunately, the fact that it has been half immersed in sand and water for the last 40 years has kept its old timbers in an unusually good state of preservation and no doubt is entertained that the vessel can be successfully raised. At the beginning of the present congress Representative Bates announced his determination to see that a relic of such value should be carefully kept. He did not finally succeed in forcing through the bill and getting the signature of the president till the closing week. It was not difficult to persuade President Roosevelt to give his approval. The raising of the Niagara should not take a great deal of time and the suggestion has even been made that it be rushed so that the ceremonies attendant on placing the old craft on the lawn of the home may take place c- September 10, the ninety-third anniversary of the conflict. The battle of Lake Erie has always been regarded by Americans as their crowning victory on water in the second struggle with Great Britain. It made the 'same of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, born in Rhode Island, and one of the greatest of our early sea fighters. Perry not only fought both the Lawrence and the Niagara with consumate skill, but he also built them, an achievement not possible to the naval leaders of to-day. Early in the war he was assigned to go to Lake Erie and build two brigs of war of 5,500 tons each and 20 guns. So imperative was the haste that timber cut in the forest was put into the ships on the same day. His force was much depleted and discouraged by illness when the British fleet under the command of the brave Capt. Robert Herlot Barclay appeared in force. Barclay was a veteran of fine ability, who had been with Nelson at Trafalgar, and had sustained a serious injury there. His fleet consisted of the Detroit, a new and strongly built ship of 17 guns, all long except two, the Queen Charlotte, the schooner Lady Provost, the brig Hunter, the sloop Little Belt and the schooner Chippewa. Commodore Perry had at his disposal the Lawrence, his flagship; the Niagara, Caledonia, Ariel, Triple, Tigress, Somers, Scorpion, Ohio and Porcupine. In numbers the American fleet was the stronger, but the British ships were better fighting crafts. Only two of the Americans, the Niagara and the Lawrence, were of the first class. Furthermore, the enemy enjoyed an advantage in having the long guns, while for the greater part the American ships were equipped with caronnades, which could only carry for a short distance. Before going into the battle Perry raised on his flagship a standard on which were the words of the herojp Lawrence, for which the ship was named, spoken in his moments of death: "Don't give up the ship." The British commander was terribly injured and nearly all his ships were complete wrecks. So impressed was Perry by the valor of the enemy that when the time for surrender came and the enemy's officers came to his flagship, the Niagara, he declined to take their side arms. His triumph complete, Perry sent to Gen. Harrison this modest message, which remains a classic: "We have met the enemy and they are ours. Two shlps, two brlgs, one schooner and one sloop." WEAR STOCKINGS OR WALK. Order Is Given Women by Street Car Company at Resort. Atlantic City, N. J.—Women in bathing suits can not ride on the cross-town trolley cars unless they wear stockings. Those wearing half-hose or socks or no covering of any kind to their legs will not be taken on the cars. This new rule of the company became known this afternoon, when two young women, one of whom wore neither socks nor stockings and the other half-hose, were prevented from boarding a car by the conductor. "Ladies, you can't ride on this car," declared the conductor. "What do you mean?" queried one of the women—the one with no stockings. "Well, ma'am, it's orders," mumbled the conductor. The girls were left standing in the street and compelled to hire a bus to get to their homes. Women attired in full regulation bathing costumes were allowed the freedom of the cars. EACH MAN HIS OWN MOTOR BOAT French Inventor Devices Plan to Supply Human Body with Power. The French Inventor who devised the motor boats has now conceived an adaptation of the petrol power for supplying the human body with mechanical power for propulsion in the water. Every man may thus become his own motor boat. In order to use the device a person need not be a swimmer, for in addition to its propulsive powers the apparatus is devised to keep the body afoat. A water-tight box containing a little perol engine and a fuel supply is strapped to the user's back. The inventor thinks the chief use of the apparatus will be in life-saving, for in an emergency the operator has only to start the motor by turning a little crank, sling the box on his back and launch himself in the water. Many Kinds of Potatoes. Hampden, Mass.—Deacon John N. Isham, who has been cultivating two or three strains of potatoes for half a century, recently decided to introduce in his patch a few other varieties. On one seed farm in North Middleboro he found 825 named and numbered kinds, not including this year's seedlings, resulting from crossing native stock with a hardy South American potato. Deacon Isham, after learning what a complex proposition the potato breeder faces and being informed that not more than one in 100 new strains is an improvement over the plain everyday potato which New England has produced since the days of the Pilgrims, concluded that the old-time "apuds" are good enough for him. Milk Fed Pumpkin Amazes Bloomington, Ill. — A milk fed pumpkin is the latest development in agricultural circles. Two pumpkins, grown on the same vine, were on exhibition at the Tazewell county fair. They stood side by side, but one was ten times larger than the other. The giant was given a pint of milk per day, a hole being cut in the vine which was attached to the stem. The milk was completely absorbed over night. The small brother attained natural growth, but the milk fed weighed 100 pounds. WILL ENTER CABINET WILL ENTER CABINET JAMES R. GARJELD TO GET MET- CALF'S PLACE. Secretary of Department of Commerce and Labor to Retire and Son of Former President is Slated for the Post. Washington.—The next change in the cabinet will be the retirement of Victor H. Metcalf, of the department of commerce and labor. This is the prediction of a man who stands close enough in the confidence of President Roosevelt to give the statement the fullest measure of credibility. James R. Garfield will probably succeed Secretary Metcalf, giving up his present place as commissioner of corporations. This is the present programme. It is no news that President Roosevelt entertains a very high opinion of Commissoner Garfield. He has been much impressed and pleased by the latter's work in collecting facts in regard to the beef trust and the Standard Oil trust. In fact, he credits half the success of Attorney General Moody's prosecutions to the start they received by the data gathered under the careful and assiduous Mr. Garfield. Garfield was born in October, 1865, in the house at Mentor that became famous as the mecca of political pilgrims during the presidential campaign of 1880. He was therefore 16 years old when his father, President Garfield, died in September, 1881. A story they still relate at the White House deals with the use of a fountain basin as a swimming pool by the T. H. Garfield boys and a party of their chums on a hot summer night. That exercise was followed by a function in the gast room. It was an Indian war dance. It all happened on an evening when the chief magistrate of the nation was absent from home. Like his father, Garfield began his political career as a member of the Ohio state senate. Then he became a member of the United States civil service commission. When the bureau of corporations of the department of labor was created Garfield was placed at the head of it by President Roosevelt. Garfield's elevation to the cabinet would make him the third son of a president to receive that distinction. The first was John Quincy Adams, who was secretary of state under Monroe. Adams also served in the house and senate, and a term as president. Robert Todd Lincoln served as secretary of war during the Garfield-Arthur administrations. He was afterward minister to England and is now president of the Pullman company and lives in Chicago. Trades That Kill. The latest compilations which have been made show that the air in cutlery factories is laden with invisible metal-dust, and this, being carried into the lungs, causes asthma and consumption. The steel-grinders, bending over their work, inhale such huge quantities of metal-dust that they rarely live beyond the age of 40. All metal trades are very hazardous, and phthisis or tubercular affections and respiratory diseases are the penalties of these pursuits. The rate of mortality amongst brewers is 50 per cent, greater than that among men of ordinary callings. Gout is an enemy which makes itself sorely felt in this occupation. Bakers, too, are more than normally subject to premature death. In the flour there is a very small microbe, which has its effect on the teeth, and attacks the drums of the ears, causing deafness. Britain's Useless Land. No other empire in the world owns so much absolutely useless territory as the British. Banks Land, Prince Albert Land, Victoria and Baffin Land, with hundreds of other Arctic islands and lands, are at present quite useless. Coat Made from 1,200 Rabbitts' Ears. A coat which has been placed on exhibition in a London furrier's shop is made out of 1,200 rabbit ears, which have been sewed together in such a manner as to make a serviceable waterproof coat. Czar's Cosmopolitan Family. Under the scepter of the czar of Russia live 38 different nationalities, each speaking its own language, which is foreign to all others. FIRST LADY OF FRANCE. Success of President Fallieres Due to His Wife. Paris—Probably the greatest distinction of Mme Fallieres, wife of the president of France, is that, falling in love with her in their early years led the future statesman to brace up and study law, and so make a man of himself. Disliking application to books, M. Fallieres had been sent from his country home to Paris to study law, but was sadly lacking in scholarship and went home disgraced. His father, who was a clerk of a petty court, and his grandfather, who was a village blacksmith, were more than ever discouraged about him, but to their surprise he buckled down to study his law books with great zeal. It was because MME. FALLIERES. (Wife of the President of France.) he had found the future Mme Fallieres while in Paris and was eager to be situated so as to set up housekeeping. Not long after he passed his law examinations with flying colors. Mme Fallieres' character and care are of the sort that, while useful and admirable, do not make any great showing in the publications of the day. She is a woman of strong domestic tastes and has never made the least effort to shine in society, any more than has her everyday husband of peasant origin and peasant's tastes. She is not above accompanying her cook to market. Needless to say, Preslude and Mme Fallieres represent the provincial elements of their country rather than the gay city which so often is accepted as pretty nearly the whole thing of France. Life in the capital is not especially attractive to her. She has reared a son and a daughter. The former is a lawyer of great promise. The daughter, who is 31 years old, has declined several offers of marriage, saying that her one desire is to remain at home and look after her father and mother in their latter years.' Beside their 'own children three nephews of President Fallieres, early left orphans, live in their family. While President Fallieres is conspicuously of the anticlerical party, Mme Fallieres is a devout Catholic. BUST OF CAPT. JOHN SMITH. Work of Sculptor-Soldier Is Presented to Virginia. Norfolk, Va.—A bust of Capt. John Smith executed by Gen. Baden-Powell. * SAN MIGUEL Bust of Capt. Smith. the famous English soldier, the hero of Mafeking, which was presented by the soldier-sculptor to the state of Virginia, has arrived at Richmond, where it will be placed permanently in the state capitol. The bust comes to Virginia as a most interesting and appropriate gift just at this time, when preparations are in progress for the Jamestown centennial exposition of 1907, which will commemorate the first permanent English settlement in America, brought about through the courage and abilities of John Smith as a colonizer. Gen. Baden-Powell, who made the bust, comes from the same stock as the redoubtable colonizer, his family being the direct descendants of a brother of the captain's. His ability as a sculptor has long been demonstrated by the favorable comment unanimously given by art critics and the liberal offers made for its purchase by collectors. Possessed of unlimited means, however, the proper placing of the bust was the important point with its creator. A Costly Strike. After lasting eleven months, the strike at Llanbileth colliery, the largest in Monmouth, Eng, has ended, and the men have returned to work. It is estimated that the strike has cost over $2,550,000, of which some $150,000 has been paid by the Miners' federations' strike pay. THOMAS WALKER, ATTORNEY.

McCaskey Says Infantry Branch Disapproves Unnecessary Tramp. Washington.—Long marches in the infantry branch of the army, as provided for in recent orders, pertaining to annual camps of instruction, are disapproved by Brig. Gen. William S McCaskey, commanding the southwestern division, in his annual report to the war department. The recent orders, he says, will have a decided and disastrous effect upon reenlistments. Commenting upon the general dissatisfaction, Gen. McCaskey says: "The practice marches as now ordered and the prospect of a repetition of this summer's long encampments and the extended marches incident thereto are looked upon as an unnecessary hardship. American soldiers are thinking men and reason to the effect that while any hardship that is necessary will be endured, those not necessary will be evaded. It is believed that the infantry soldier upon reenlistment will be found in the coast artillery "I am of the opinion that camps of instruction as now conducted are too long in duration. Three weeks in camp should be sufficient. Marches should be less than 100 miles; anything beyond this is unnecessary and is disapproved of by the majority of officers and men whom I have interviewed on the subject." BAD SINGING OPENS JAIL DOOR. Woman Prisoner's Vocalization Annex—Release Demanded. Oswego, Kan.—The singing of Mary Weathers was too bad, even for the county jail, and Mary's term of imprisonment has been cut short, on the condition that she and her alleged voice leave the county. Mary is a lady of color who has spent the greater part of the last two years in the local bastille. This did not keep down her spirits, however, for Mary would sing anywhere, and all the time. At least that was what she did to the people living in the village. She fall have other and not such pleasant names for the sounds that were waffted through the bars into their homes. Mary's voice had the capacity of a steamboat whistle and her musical education had been neglected. The combination wore on the nerves of the people on the outside and they descended upon the county commissioners demanding Mary's exile.
