I admired the Justice Gould ad- dent. He assured the orteyou, that there exist between him-Stafford. Both are honorable men and either would have been an acquisition to the Court of Appeals. The bar has decided hereafter to wait until the successful candidate is appointed and afterwards indorse him. This is the surest and most certain way to satisfy a "pent-up indignation." As usual, Mr. Cortelyou, the colored brother is the tail end of everything. In inaugural parades he is at the tail end. I have before me a copy of the Republican Text-Book for the Congressional Campaign of 1906. After discussing all other political issues it concludes with "Our Colored Citizens." Listen to this, Mr. Cortelyou: In the North where Repubileanism is strongest, colored citizens, although a minority of the population, are given participation in the control of municipalities, counties and states, and are frequently elected to public office in these respective units of our governmental system; in the South, the stronghold of Democracy, the colored citizen is being systematically disfranchised and barred from epublic aaffirs, and each year witnesses a narrowng of his political and civil rights. It is true, Mr. Cortelyou, that he assists in electing white Republicans to office in the North, but what does he get? Republicans offer his a janitor's place or a messengership in the legislature or court house. And very often the Republicans think that these places are too good for him. It is true that the Democratic party south restricts the colored voter, while in the north he is given places by the Democrats, commensurate with his ability. The Tammany Democracy of New York appointed hundreds of colored men to office and when the Republicans came into power every colored man was turned out Governor Higgins of New York filled the place that was held by a colored man with a white Repubilican. I am not aware of one colored appointment that has been made by Governor Higgins. The book further states that "the Republican party encourages the highest character in the negro; the Democratic party seeks to degrade it." Is this true, Mr. Cortelyou? Why wasn't the Hon. Geo. H White of North Carolina appointed? Why was Register J. W. Lyons removed? Col. Lyons made all kinds of excuses for the lunders of his party and brought many independent colored men to the support of President Roosevelt, including the editor of The Ree. I informed him then, Mr. Cortelyou, that the colored voter would live to regret his election. I saw that the colored voter was carried away by the President's flowing speeches, and the alleged door of hope I never had any faith in the declarations of Capt. Lyons, and today he is thinking as I thought then. Want of time will prevent me from reviewing this book further, but in my next I shall discuss the book in its fullest details. I mean the concluding chapters to our colored citizens. Until then believe me to be, Noted Man Among the Colored Methodists of this Country. Xenia, Ohio, October 8.—Bishop William Benjamin Arnett of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, died of uraemic poisoning last night at the Wilberforce University. He was a native of Pennsylvania and had been bishop since 1888. He was a member of the [Image of a black man with a white shirt and a black tie.] legislature in 1880-87 was chaplain of the national Republican convention at St. Louis in 1896, presided over the parliament of religions in Chicago, September 15, 1893, and presided at the ecumenical conference of Methodists, London, September 7, 1901. He was a member of the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society and trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 13, 1906. What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard There was a great deal of excitement among the Odd Fellows last week. All eyes were turned to Richmond, Va. A great deal of interest was centered in the candidacy of Mr. W. L. Houston for Grand Master of the order. A long contingent from this city left to advance the candidacy of Mr. Houston. My genial friend Mr. W. H. Brown was the politician of the convention. It was he who didn't give up hope when the contest looked gloomy. Mr. Brown is a sober, level-headed worker. Attorney Clinksecales took off his coat and threw it in the air when the name of his candidate was presented to the convention. There were fully 14,000 delegates present. The Southern delegates came to the B. M. C. in chartered coaches. There were nine coaches that pulled in the Richmond, Va., station. There were all kinds of politicians who came to do the home boys, but our boys were too much for them. Many who left [Image of a man's profile with a dark background]. J. H. H. HON. WM. WARNER, OF MO. with Mr. Houston returned to the city before the fight was won by Houston. Friend Slaughter played Kentucky politics. He stuck to his candidate till victory was won. J. R Bailor, the Harrisburg politician, was in the city this week. He attended the B. M. C. Friend Bailor was seen in the vicinity of 12th and Florida avenue inspecting as usual. He is against the Pennsylvania bosses now. Dr. Phil. B. Brooks had a most delightful time in Richmond, Va. The doctor returned to the city this week and gave a glowing account of his visit. I see that the firm of Green, Green & Green is doing great business in Cleveland, Olno. The editor of the Cleveland Gazette and the senator have hurried the hatchet. Mr. J. A. Lankford will no doubt build the colored exposition building at Lamestown. My friend Clinkscales will have his him, no matter where he goes. He took it into his head to call at the Governor's Mansion in Virginia, while in Richmond He was escorted by his wife and two other ladies. When he reached the Governor's Mansion he met a gentleman at the door who introduced himself as the Governor of Virginia. This surprised the Washington lawyer, especially when he took him to the kitchen and introduced him to his cook. This was not done, however, till after the governor had introduced the attorney to his executive staff. Mr. Clinkscales visited the police court and heard several cases. He heard the judge say, "Stand up, nigger; I wish it was so that I could hang you. But as it is I shall give you a sentence that you will remember. You are-fined $2.25." This was a surprise to the Washington attorney, after having heard the judge say that his sentence would be one that the prisoner would remember. Before another moon, the friends of Rev. J. Anderson Taylor will have vin Contiued to page five. Afro-American Council Afro-American Council BIG CROWD PRESENT—BISHOP WALTERS MAKES AN ADDRESS. New York City, Oct. 9, 1906. The annual meeting of the Afro-American Council was held in St. Mark's M. E. Church Tuesday morning. Bishop Alexander Walters called the meeting to order, with Mrs. Fannie Bainer Williams acting secretary. There was not much business done at the morning or afternoon session. In the evening Bishop Walters delivered his annual address, which was logical, eloquent and concise. He was applauded throughout its delivery. Seated upon the platform at this meeting was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who was the center of attraction. The mention of her name by the speakers was a signal for applause. Mrs. Terrell will speak at Cooper Union tomorrow night, Wednesday, on which occasion the position of the colored Americans will be defined. Bishop Walters in his address this evening declared that the THE PRESIDENT colored American was tired of the atrocities and the brutality of the Southern white man. There were fully two thousand people present when he spoke. Among the distinguished attendants at the Council are Prof. I. M. Hershaw, Attorney James A. Cobb, Capt. J. W. Lyons, Bishop Clinton, Dr. S. L. Corrothers, of Washington, Dr W. H. Stewart, of Louisville, Ky.; Attorney J. Douglas Wetmore, formerly of Florida but who has made his home in New York. Most of the Washington contingent may be found at Hotel Marshal. This is one of the best known and best houses in the city. Here is where Attorney Wetmore may be found with his handsome suite of rooms upon the second floor. Here is where he does a great deal of his legal business. While seated in Hotel Marshal I was introduced to Mr. James A. Jackson, the son of Col. Giles B. Jackson of Richmond. Young Jackson is in the real estate business here and is doing great business. I understand that most of Mr. Jackson's clients are white. Mr. Wetmore is attorney for the firm of Jackson & Moore. Prof. Booker Washington and Mr. Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee are expected this week. Their names are on the official programme for speeches. The tall form of Capt. J. W. Lyons can be seen walking the streets of New York. When he enters the Council he looks like Napoleon invading the enemies of the French. I have not seen my friend T. Thomas Fortune as yet. I understand, however, that he is in New York and made one of those characteristic speeches of his. Attorney Cobb has no time to attend the Council meeting. He has been busy attending to legal matters. The outlook is that Bishop Alexander Walters will be re-elected. New York, Oct. 10, 1906. There was a lot of rain last night. I arrived about 4 o'clock and was compelled to remain on the car to keep from being soaked with water. I did not have an umbrella, although I was 四 told to bring one with me. I got off of a 6th avenue car and walked into a agents' furnishing store to purchase an umbrella. The proprietor thought he had a cinch. He wanted one dollar for a 25 cent umbrella. I thought it was cheaper to get wet. I needed a wash off at any rate. At the Council this morning I offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of the National Afro-American Council that negro labor from the Southern States should be employed in the construction of the Panama Canal in preference to the employment of Chinese coolie labor. One of the best speeches delivered in the Council was by Rev. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, Md. Rev. M. W. Gilbert is one of the strongest church factors in New York City. He has a large church on 53rd street. This meeting will be the largest that has ever been held. Politics is lively up here. The Sun and one or two other leading papers are fighting Hearst. It is a sign of weakness. Hearst is strong and it cannot be denied. He is abused by these papers in a manner that will gain him votes. He is sound on the negro question. I have been informed that the dissatisfaction between the Hearst and Tammany faction will be healed. SEVERAL REMOVALS IN THE SCHOOLS-A DIVISION AMONG THE COLORED MEMBERS. The Board of Education has had under investigation several supervising principals and other teachers who have been publishing communications against the management of the schools. What was stated in these anonymous communications was false. The guilty parties have been caught and will in all probability be dismissed. There have been several in the schools who have been too flip with the pen for their own good. There is also a division among the colored members of the Board of Education. Mrs. Terell, who has been more successful than many of her colored associates, has gotten their enmity. Mrs. Terrell is pursuing the even tenor of her way and gathering clover while her associates are picking up corn cobs. The Bee's position relative to the removed teachers has been indorsed by the decision of the Assistant United States Attorney. It will take the schools about six months before they are put in running order. 一 THE NEGROES OF CHICAGO. Chicago presents no hopeless sign as to negro progress. There are two pronounced tendencies. The strong survive and are developing a very high type of efficiency. The great mass has moved somewhat up the scale, and is still moving at a slow but steady pace. An incompetent minority tends downward toward a gradual elimination by consumption, crime and migration. One of the chief needs of the negroes of Chicago is a kind of constructive economic leadership. First of all, negro labor is largely unorganized and therefore unable to protect itself against organized labor in general. By thorough organization of black labor, even unskilled, labor which is now organized can be brought to recognize that white and black workmen are not enemies but have a common cause, and that by the union of both forces this cause can be best advanced. In the second place the negroes' industrial efficiency needs to be increased by better opportunities for training. Domestic service is not what it was formerly, and a generation from now will be even more skilled. At present in Chicago, the development of efficiency among negroes is left to native ability and chance. What Chicago negroes need is a great industrial school to teach negroes domestic service and the skilled trades; otherwise the class of the incompetent will continually increase. This leadership needs to be shown also in business organization.—Richard R. Wright, Jr., in the Southern Workman. RETURNS HOME From the Tukegee Student. Mrs. R. C. Bruce, with the two children, left Tukegee Institute Monday evening of this week to join her husband in Washington, where they are hereafter to reside. Mrs. Josephine B. Bruce is spending a few days as the guest of Mrs. Washington before joining them in Washington. The house in which the Bruces have lived has been surrendered, and Mr. J. R. E. Lee, with his family, are expected to take possession of same early in October. READ THE BER.

Glowcester the Headquarters for Those Who Have Retired from the Calling—Exciting Experience of Capt. Johnson. Mass.—The real Captains of奇怪, made famous by kipping and many lesser lights of fiction, are no less picturesque in actual life than between the covers of a book. Gloucester, the headquarters of the banks, fishermen, possesses more quant characters perhaps than any spot in the country. Just at this season while the active captains are mostly away on the banks, the retired ones offer a neverfalling source of interest to the summer boarders who look to Gloucester from all parts of the coast. But the retired ones are comparatively few, for these hardy gamers to low their calling long past what would be the limit of usefulness with most men. Perhaps the best known Gloucester fisherman is Capt. Alfred Johnson, of the schooner Lelia E. Norwood. He was the first man from this port to cross the Atlantic in a dory. He had several narrow escapes—once from crowning when he capsized out of sight of land and again when a fierce shark attacked him; but he drove the ogre fighter off with a big krife attached to the end of a pole. The dory was 1 foot long, 5½ feet wide, 2½ feet deep. All deck, except standing room and hatchway. It was sloop rigged two jobs, mainsail and square. Capt. Johnson seems bound to have every time he goes out, time ago his smack. Norwood, was run into her in a fog, and noth- CAPTAIN SPENCE. "an of the Gloucester, Mass., Fishermen.) Scan of the Gloucester, Mass., Fishermen.) ing but the steamer's watchfulness and the quick work of the officers prefated the sinking of the smack. He seems to be a regular Jonah, for he has come in this last week that he bearly lost his boat and his life on this present trip. There has been much for out on the Georges, where Capt Johnson is hallibut fishing, and it is a dangerous place for these fishermen, not they are near the line of the ocean steamers. A few days ago the crew of the Norwood were in the dog when they heard the noise of a large steamer, and as she came near them it was feared she would strike the whooner. They blew the boat out but the steamer did not hear it. Quickly Capt Johnson ordered his men to jump into some of the dories and he贮贮 ready to pull out of danger when necessary. Out of the ice burst the outline of a big tramp steamer, plowing ahead at 150 speed brushing so close as to make the Norwood dance with the sail from the steamer. Then the sea steamer vanished into the dense forks went Capt Johnson and his men to their fishing again. He expressed that two such experiences were together made him feel a bit better. Although he has made money in the seas he has not lost his love for the sea and when April comes he has and fashes until September. He has vessel, and thus is skipper as well as fisherman. When asked if he was across the Atlantic again in a day he answered emphatically: "Do there is neither honor, glory or morality at now." The closest skipper is Capt. Soloman Bave who has followed the sea for many years. Among the oldest fishermen of Gloucester is Wred Hates, of East Gloucester, who more than 30 years old, and whom he used to go as far as Gloucester and the Georges he has not gone to sea for many years.

He was born in Kentucky in 1858, and graduated from West Point in 1876. He served in the Ninth cavalry for many years, and during the Spanish war served in the adjutant general's department. At West Point he will have the rank of colonel. He is one of the best known and ablest officers in the army. A WASHINGTON PALACE. Built in Italian Style for John B. 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 freewroof. 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 national attention by having the contents of her husband's wine cellar emptied into the gutter, with Mr. Henderson's consent. Frank African Monarch. Litla, the son of King Lewanka, 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 or 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 Erle, who are made the custodians of the vessel, for the proposed building is on a bluff overlooking Lake Erle, 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 Erle 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 gained 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 on 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 fame 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 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 Heriot 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, Scorplon, 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 Nissagar 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 heroic 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. Sq 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 ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloon." 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 Devises 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 afloat. 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 shock 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 "spuds" 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 JAMES R. GARFIELD TO GET METCALF'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 Commissisoner 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 M. JAMES R. GARFIELD. (The Work of the Commissioner of Corporations Has Pleased the President.) Garfield boys and a party of their chums on a hot summer night. That exercise was followed by a function in the east room. It was an Indian war dance. It all happened on an evening when the chief magistrate of the nation was absent from honie. 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 promature 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 Rabbits' Ears. A coat which has been placed on exhibition in a London furrier's shop is made out of 1,200 rabbit cars, 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 carc 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. President 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 51 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-Fowell. 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 Ilianhilleth 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 in strike pay. “3 % \ # rg - : — 7 * PUKLISHED AT 3109 Eye St, ¥.

The Bee is of the opinion that Ben. Tillman is the first person who should have a certificate of character, as he is greatly in need of something.South Carolina is in need of a reputation tor good government. Just how a State like South, Carolina can af- ford to send a man like Ben. Till- man to the Senate is a wonder. He says that racé hatred is growing. What has the colored race done that causes this race hatred’ of which Ben. Tillman speaks? The colored man has advanced in mor- als, intellect and property. Are these the causes for race hatred? Prior to reconstruction he was a slave. After his emancipation he had nothing, not even car fare. To- day many of them have money enough to purchase their former masters. How did they get it? With every opposition and preju- dice in the path of progress, the colored American has succeeded. What then is the cause of this al- leged race hatred? He asserts fur- ther that lynching for criminal as- sault will continue and cause inno- cent colored people to suffer. Why ‘should innocent colored men suf- fer for alleged crimes committed by the so-called guilty? Many white people in the South are cow- ards- They dare not give alleged _ Victims a fair trial because they are afraid that they will establish theit innocence. Mr, Tillman is no’ aware that the day of retributior will surely come. He forgets tha wrongs committed upon innocen colored men cannot continue for ever. He concludes his remarkabl statement by saying that the color ed people should be compelled t ‘have passports. The colored peo ple in the South should sell out i they can and leave before the legis latures adopt the passport system ‘This passport system is to keep thi colored people in the South, but i will not succeed. They intend t leave the South and go to a sectior of the country where their right will"be respécted. The South ha . pro respect for the colored citizen no matter how respectable he is The, Republican party has allowe every indignity: his rights, civi anil-political, have been taken fron him. “It lias permitted him to b disfranchised and winked at .th -ontrages by the Democratic part: in the South. If the colored mai ” in the South is an dangerous as i _ is asserted, then he should leay and go where he will be respected The Democratic party has mad capital out of the colored man by abusing him. The Republican par ty has used him as a convenicnc to keep renegades in office. Thr -negro race will live to write Ben: jaman Tillman’s obituary, and _thi: - will it be: “Here sleeps an animal that scar- ed Republicans and defied the Jaw. Who will weep for him?” PRAYER We would not for onc moment dispute the power of prayer and still we fail to sce how ‘prayer of- fered by people who cannot agree oa the denominational questions amounts to any good. . Last Sunday had been announc- ed as a day for special petitions to Almighty God in behalf of suffer- ing humanity in the Southland. This call came from the A. M. E. Church, .It is well known that there is much strife existing among the various denominations, and there is hardly grace enough in them to respond with heart and voice to a call made by any one denomination. The world is convinced daily that the churches contend among themselves and are too selfish to unite in one Christian phalanx and lmake’ the interest of one common to all, and of importance to all. - Too much valuable time is given to form, and not enough to fact. We would suggest one or two important things to be done if we would have our prayers go as high as our heads, Let the ministers of the Gospel and the representatives of the vari- ous denominations come together as one, lay aside all selfishness, and decide that, as there is only one banner for the Christian Church it is the sacred duty of each to have one thing in view: the maintenance of the highest possible elevation for that banner. {With the leaders of Christianity united the way will be open for greater results from ef- sectual prayer. If we would humbly approach the Ruler of the Universe in be- half of those of our number who are tortured and put to death by the enemy we must make some sac- 'rifice. Sunday is the Lord's Day, land as‘such we are expected to tender praise and thanksgiving to Him. It is the day of rest for the weary soul: all toil, all trials, and everything of a depressing charac- ter is to be-put aside and the hearts of the people should rejoice. We make a most grievous mis- take in taking our day of rest for one of lamentations. We act as though Sunday is the only day ‘we cau approach the Creator. His ear is open fo the cry of distress at all times, and we should not wait for the seventh day to do what, by 2 little sacrifice, may be done at some other time. t THE ODD FELLOWS The Bee congratulates its old friend, Mr. A. L. Houston, on his successful candidacy for the Grand Mastership of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. It was a long and persistent fight, and those who engineered the fight for him deserve a great deal of credit. It was a battle for honors, and his noble supporters from the District of Columbia stood manfully by him. It is the first time in the his- tory of the Odd Fellows fraternity trata Grand Master from the city was successful. The Bee may be mistaken, but it doesn’t remember any other successful candidate in the history of the organization. As a rule the Odd Fellows could never agree among themselves. There haye been many efforts made to elect a Grand Master from this city, but the delegates would al- ways go to the convention in fac- ions. For‘the first time, then, our Odd Fellows have been united. For the first time the young men taught the old-timers a lesson. This time the young men agreed and centered on Mr. W. L. Ifouston as one of the most brilliant young men in the race. ‘He is to he congratulated: Jalso the orders that elected him. He is a credit to the organization anda man of whom the race ought to feel proud. It was a brilliant zame of fraternal politics, which “s now so prevalent in the organ- ization. It is a fight for power, and indeed it is all the real politics the colored Americans-are allowed 9 enjoy. They realize what real rolitics look like. They resort to every political chicanery: They use money; they have their caucuses and cliques, just the same as real ae political organizations. They cheat sometimes among themselves, but they Settle it in a brotherly man- ner, The Qdd Fellows is a bril- Tiant organization. It is compos- ed of brilliant minds. They are devoted to their respective lodges, but they will fight for an office just the same as other people. The Bee extends its congratulations to Mr. Houston and to the order for electing him, a . HEARST OR HUGHES? The colored Republicans of” the State of New York are called up- on to decide between two men, Hearst and Hughes. The former stands for equality of citizenship, while the other has been dealing in declarations that he does not meant fo carry out. Now,'if Mr. Jerome can afford to leave the Democratic party and support Mr. Hughes. why can’t the colored yot- er do likewise? Mr.. Hearst, in the opinion of The Bee, will do more for the colored citizens of New York than Mr, Hughes. His plat- form, that is, Mr. Hearstt’s plat- form, is more liberal and we be- lieve that he is more’honest. Mr. Hughes, the creature of the pres- ent administration and the colored voter, is aware what the adminis- tration is doing for him. Republi- cans are famous for declarations of principles, without any idea of carrying out!any. The colored Re- publicans of New York kriow what they have received from that par- ty, and they well know what the Tammany Democrats have given them and what they hold now In- der Tammany rule. From every indication the colored Republicans of the State of New York will make an exodus to Mr. Hearst, It is now time for the colored vote to divide. The Republicans have both the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the President included. What have they done? Have any of tlie promises or dec- larations of the last Republican platform heen carried out? Let.the colored Republicans of the State of New York vote for men, and not for party. . AWE DROP A TEAR With the vast number of friends and admirers of the late Bishop William Benjamin Arnett we drop a tear and pause. Bishop Arnett has ended a most successful career. For a long and very long time he stood as a beacon light and many vessels have beén saved from being wrecked ‘on the vast sea of life by heeding the ad- monition’ of the late Bishop. In life he, like other men of his high rank, did not always do and sey things to suit all of his fellow men, but he thought and did ac- cording to the dictates of his con- science, Pa ‘The death gf the Bishop falls heavily, for even though a little ad- vanced jin years, he was energetic and ambitious to the fulfillment ot small and great obligations. Bishop Arnett was known at home and abroad as a man of pow- er, and his opponents acknowledge in him qualities high and dominant. The State loses in the death of Bishop Arnett one of its best citi- zens and advocates of human rights and liberty. The Church has lost one’ of it: strong supports, advisers and pi: lots. His efforts in the interest: of the growth of his denominatior and the Christian Church were nost zealous, * Ifis true worth and intrinsic val. ue was: known and more appreci: ited within his famly circle, -and ir this circle will his loss be mos keenly felt. ; The Bee bows to the will of Di vine Providence and drops a..teat with those who weep, THE LAWYER AND HIS FEE The judges of the Police ‘Court, no exceptions, want more money, and they have recommended to the ‘Coinmissioners, among other things, an increase of one tHou- sand dollars, total four thousand per annum. The editor of this pa- ner most respectfully asks both of the judges of the Police Court a few questions: Are lawyers entitled to any con- sidgration? If a person has twenty dollars collateral up, do yout think it is fair to the lawyer.or his client that the entire amount should be turn- ed over to the government? Has a lawyer a right to live and earn a fee? If he sees a fee in sight and it is taken from him continually, should the lawyer oppose or advocate an increase of salary for the judges of the Police Court? If no consideration is shown the lawyer ought the lawyer have any interest in the increase of a judge's salary? Would not lawyers be justified to say to Congress that the judges of the Police Court are being paid more than they deserve? These are some of the questions that are being debated among the lawyers. The judges of the Police Court will consider these questions and take them.in as good faith’as’ the lawyer loses his fee. o THE CHIZENS COMMITTEE A circular has been issued by a committee of gentlemen claiming to represent the Citizens Commit- te¢ of the District of Columbia. This committee of course is com- posed of gentlemen, but The Bee must say that not one mtember of that committee is a bona fide cit- izen of . Washington. Why is it that gentlemen from other States and Cities insist on coming to this city, meddling in our affairs? The Bee has the highest respect for the chairman of that committee, but it does seem that he should lend his infiuence in another- direction, The other two inembers of the comnnt- tee are genial gentlemen, but their interests are in the South, The ‘citizens of Washington get along well enough with their schools and other business until others from the outside cause dissatisfaction. Just now certain gentlemen, not citizens of this cit, are under in- cation. These men have caused strife in the schools... The moment these men are put in a position, that moment they attempt to run over the people . OUR PAST From the Seattle Republican. The Bee in the past did not leave a stone unturned to throw odium on the acts of Booker T. Washing- ton, and it is refreshing to sce that it has seen the error of its way and 1s willing to give honor where hon- or is due. It is hoped that ere Iong more of the colored citizens will come round, me — The Bee has never turned one stone in order “to throw odium on the acts” of Mr. Washington. We have criticised some ‘of Mr. Wash- ington’s public acts because’we «id not agrce with him, and it is the tight of all Ametican citizens tc express their. belief concerning pub- lef affairs: Mr. Washington him: self thinks more of the man whe differs and so expresses his differ. ence than he does of the man whc agrees to all he says and does sc because of his (Mr, Washington’s) position, , ' We have made no error, and ye we do no more than right when w« praise Mr. Washington for doing and saying the things which, to us are shest for the upbuilding of hu- manity. OUR NEW BABY The latest thing that ‘has made its appearance in the journalistic ficld is the Washmgton Herald, with that famous and affable jour- nalist as its editor, Mr. Scott C. Boone. This gentleman is one ot the fairest and one of the most lib- eral writers in the country. The Herald, which he has the honor te edit, will no doubt be one of tise leading journals in the United States. Its initial number appear- ed Monday morning bright and’ear- ‘ly. It has come to stay, and its policy will be independent. Mr, Roone is no stranger in the field of journalism; his temporary -re- tirement has madé him strong and vigorous. His associates are nfen of influence and ability. The Her- ald is seyen columns and eighteen pages; its Sunday cdition will be equal to any published in this city. | ‘The baby has been born, and Mr. Scott C. Boone is the father, to whom The Bee offers its honey,and may the lives of both: be everlast- ing! Me COMMISSIONER WEST RE- TURNED. Hon. Henry L. West, Commis- sioner of the District of Columbia, has returned to the city after a suc- cessful and pleasant vacation. Mr. West is always welcomed to his ‘home, and the people love him be- ‘cause he loves the people. There is nothing mean about him. He is honest. and fair. You don’t feel t cold chill running through your veins when you are talking with him. He does not feel that the salvation of the entire world rests upon his shoulders, and that you have no rights that he is bound te respect. The Bee is glad to sec you, Mr. West. THE AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL 7 It must be admitted that the Af- ro-American Council meeting was one of the largest that has ever been held by that organization. It was a representative body of men who scem to be in carnest in ex- plaining the position of the colored people to the American people, The speeches of the delegates were mild but pointed. Bishop Walters is the man to lead, dnd if the Council will follow his leadership The Bee is of the opinion that vitcory will ultimatley come to the colored race. SMALL BEGINNING Every now and then we read of a new institution of learning, open- ed on a small scale, for the good of the people. All such should receive encouragement, if only by a few kind words. We must not fall into the habit of thinking that ‘because a school is founded and conducted by a recent graduate no good can ‘be done. The smallest beginning may in course of time become a power in.this land. The greatest ‘institutions had to grow from their beginnings. “Great oaks from lit- tle acorns grow.” . | WOMEN’S WORK A copy of the Supplement to the Sixth Annual Report of the Wom- en’s Convention Auxiliary has at this writing reathed us, The re- port deals with the servant prob- lem and social reform work. Mrs. M. V. Parrish, vice-president of Kentucky, has many items of im- portance in the report. Mrs. Julia Layton, of Washington, D. C., was president. The report reflects a great deal of credit upon all con- nected with the convention, TOM DICKSON . tom dickson’s clansman has come and it will soon go, and-no one is worried and no one thought any- ‘thing of it, It was rotten, The people gave it the marble heart.

From the Springfield Republican, Serious trouble has developed among the pupils of the pubile schools of Mc- ‘Keesport, Pa., because of an attempt to allow. three little negro girls to sit at the same table with the white girls while they eat their mid-day lunches. Many white children have been taken from the schools, and it is feared that all of the whites will be taken out if the negro children are allowed to remain. When the white girls first complained, Super: tendent J. B, Ritchie got another. table and the negro girls were told by the white girls to sit at that table. But they objected and told their parent. The latter called on Superintendent Ritchey and demanded that their children be permitted to sit with the whites. AN OPPORTUNITY. From. the Sentinel. A large number of colored women have been put to work in a glass faciory. As this is an innovetion, we hope the experiment will prove a success.

There is none to take up the tale of the black man's woe, Since “Honest Abe” declarcd— That the Union should be a battlefield, And the negro to freedom bared. "Tis hard for none to speak a word # When he’s being treated wrong; Hic'll help himself if left alone, Since his own right arm is strong.

The evening meeting opened with an address by the re-elected president, Wil- liam Munroe Trotter, of Boston, who Ucclared the real significance of the At- lanta trouble was in the absolute proof it furnished that all theories of solving the race troubles in the South were mis- taken except that by restoration of the ballot to the golored men. Ele declared it was a call "to-the nation and a warn- ‘ing to re-enfranchise the colored people of the South to save them from destruc- tion and the country from the anarchy of race conflict.

Busby of Worcester, former; a Republican councilman, spoke on thi “Injustice of the Jamestown Appropria tion.” He denounced Representativ Elmer Potter of Worcester for his atti- tude toward the colored women in the committee rdom during the protest and said that he should vote against him and all others who passed the James- town bill. He said the appropriation was an indorsement of Jim Crow cars in the South. Rev. Walter Gay of Hartford de- clared that neither mongy nor educa- ‘tion will give a man his rights. Men of education had contended for their tights and their blood had been spilled On the streets. He said that the nation did not give those colored men who had education their rights any more than the others, .He declared, amid a storm of applause, “We must face this crisis not without money, not without education, but with our bravery, and be willing to risk our very lives for our homes and our liberty.” Rev, Byron Gunner of Newport, R. I, vice-president at large, advised against the danger of the isidious “Washington- Abbott” doctrine, urging ‘the colored people to put so much stress on educa- tion and wealth rather than the ballot, and to submit to«the denial of their tights for the time being. He declared the colored people would be satisfied with nothing less than full manhood |rights, regarding reduction of represen- tation even only as a means to that end, Parden Speaks, | The climax of the meeting was the | dramatic portrayal of the trial and lynch Jing of Ed.

POTOHAD GUARANTEE LOAR CO READ THE BEE. ‘ WOMAN ASTRONOMER MRS. FLEMING HAS DISCOVERED SIX OUT OF NINE NEW STARS. 15 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 liner 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 as tro-photographic 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 Myster MRS. W. P. FLEMING. (Woman Who Plays an Important Part in the Astronomical World.) 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 Sagittarii 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 height' for the Appalachian 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. "Ah! 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 olerk 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 Willamina 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. ```markdown ``` At the news of some terrible shipwreck in which hundreds are drowned—like the recent wreck of the Sirio—the whole world stands ag ash, 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 389 steamships and 649 sailing vessels, a total of 1,036, 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. Scientists So Conclude After Finding Skull of Broad-Faced Ox in Alas- 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 Asia 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 Lattifrous 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 throve 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. Stralt is undoubtedly a specimen of the broad-faced ox. A few years ago a similar specimen was found underground on claim 18 above, on Bonanra 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 Bos Latfircons: "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 midforhead." "The book contains the picture of a skull that was found five or six milies 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 slight 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 war 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, swampe and minor surface depressions furnish no horse or camel boxes, 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 mylodon, 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 600,000 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, camel 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." UNIQUE PICTURE IS LOCATED. Painting by Trousett of Early California Life is Discovered. Reno, Nev.—A picture which depicts a bit of early California history, painted by the noted artist Trousett, 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 Juinpero Serrn 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.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet PLAYS TUNE ON A BARREL 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 arlas 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 pounding 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 WI 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 waiter 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 158 acres in Roult county, near Steamboat Springs, which he is having put in shape before presenting it to Gay. Mr. Moffat bought the rauch 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 waiter 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 waiter. 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 waiter was introduced to him as a social equal. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS GROW. Foreign Trade on Sound Basis and Collections Are Large. City of Mexico—During the fiscal year ended June 30 the total exportations of the country amounted to $271,138,809, against $208,520,451 in the preceding fiscal year, a gain of $62,618,357. Imports amounted to $220,651,974, against $178,204,962, an increase of $12,446,112. Nearly $50,000,000 in coloned silver was exported and some $38,178,000 new gold was imported in the readjustment of the currency. Exports of merchandise in the fiscal year increased by $2,741,919. The foreign trade of the country is on a sound basis and the customs collections large. During the fiscal year the United States took of Mexican exports $186,010,052; Great Britain, $47,272,837; Germany, $20,523,156; France, $8,010,279. Mexico imported from the United States to the amount of $145,600,313; from Germany, $20,814,557; from Great Britain, $20,344,648; from France, $16,383,255. All sums are in Mexican standard currency, the unit being one-half of the American dollar gold. STAYED IN JAIL BY CHOICE. "Eddie" Mutilin Declined to Accept Fredom and Died in Prison. 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 almessly about. He was talking to himself about ships and Egypt. He was taken to the county fall to await an investigation as to his sanity. He was not violent and the probate court did not investigate his case. Hugh 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 jail until he found a place to work. Mullin hked the jail so well that he did not try to get a job. Parls Widows Remarry Seon. Paris.—Statistics 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 consigned 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 wifehood, for out of 1,907 of them, 1,994 had married within 18 months. CONEUL PLUMACHER MAKES RE PORT ON DREAD DISASTER. Says Malady Is Not Contagious and Thinks It Curable—Results of Exhaustive Study by Representative in Venezuela. Washington. After disarming him herolism by the devotion of a dedication to a study of leprosy, Eugene K. Paimacher, American consul at Maracuja, Venezuela, has decided that the dread malady is not contagious, but is hereditary to a degree not reached in any other disease. He has made an exhaustive report to the state department telling of his personal attendance upon lepers admitted to the most revolting form. His report indicates that leprosy is certain that there is little hope in Venezuela or other Latin-American lepers where nutritious foods and proper drugs rarely are provided. Dr. Plumacher was applauded in Maracalbo in 1878, where in position with his duties as consul he observed leper cases and the treatment and where he experimented in no small way. In this he has the benefit of correspondence with the most advanced scientists of the United States and Europe and it through his efforts that the tax plant, used in treating the disease, now planted in all countries which have leper stations. At the request of these scientists, Dr. Plumacher took a large number of photographs of lepers, personally removing the bandages of the affected in order that the best results might be attained. It was prophesied that he would contract the disease but this did not happen. He was allowed to visit secretly many lepers in Marcalbo, concealed by their families to avoid being sent in perpetual banishment to the island. Using a secret midicine which is obtained through Dr. S. C Bothwell now marshal of the supreme court of Porto Rico, he experimented with it on these private cases. The medicine was expensive, but the board of directors of the leper colony allowed him a small sum to prepare the medicine and ten lepers were given into his special charge. These cases embraced both classes of the disease, the dry class, where extremities become calcinized so that fingers and toes may be broken off without pain to the patients, and the other class known as the wet or soft leprosy, where every part becomes putrid and rots away, leaving at last nothing but a trunk of a human belax. The money given Dr Plumacher lasted about two months, after which he carried the cases eight months at his own expense. His reports point out that the treatment produced good results, but that the lack of proper food made absolute cure impossible. Dr. Plumacher says in his reports that as he was successful and full of hope for continued good results, he concluded he would rather drop the society of his friends of the leper colony than to abandon the lepers. Though he observed minute care to avoid any danger from contagion, he suffered a most horrifying experience in attending one of his patients, a boy at the leprosy institution, and a few days after the incident sores appeared in his hands, but after some months these dried out although discolored marks remained. From his observations of the cases in his care, the consul considered that without plenty of nutrition food to build up the system of the afflicted there will never be good results from the treatment of the report at Maracalbo. The report gives statistics showing the alarming number of lepers in the republics of Colombia and Venezuela. FOR WAR ON WILD-CAT MINING Convention to Be Held at Denver WI Seek to Kill Frauds. Denver, Col.-Definite action for the protection of investors in mining enterprises will be taken by the American mining congress, which will open in Denver October 16. A bill providing for the punishment of all mining fakirs and promoters of illegitimate 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 in broad terms makes it a felony to use wrongful representations about mining properties. By furnishing protection against mining frauds, it is hoped to two investment into successful changes by which the mineral production may be largely increased and the investor fast profit instead of loss. Steps will also be taken to create mine drainage districts and for the establishment of a department of mines and mining as a separate executive department of the national government. No Matinee for Schoolgirls. Cleveland, O.—The board of education proposes to inaugurate two sessions daily at the high school to keep the girls away from the theaters. The school board does not approve of the matinee. "The theory that the half day session gives pupils a clear afternoon for study does not work out this way," said Member S. P. Orth. "Many boys spend the afternoon at athletics and the girls attend social functions or the matinee. BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD. Leave Station, New Jersey ave & C st. ROYAL BLUE LINE.

All passenger trains of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 23rd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Tern- mal having been discontinued. Twenty-third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass toled canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the cross-town cars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the ferry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All baggage destined to New York City will be delivered to 23rd Street unless distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Getham." The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Full page, photographs of unusual detail present a most vivid picture of this most interesting location.

He has raised and banked nearly $3,000 towards its erection. His present church membership is 2,000. 4. A few of the great pulpit orators that will be heard are Rev. Geo, E.

Creel, has been dedicated to the cause of labor with solemn ceremony. The dedication took place at St. James' Methodist church with the Allied Printing Trades Council as a sort of collective godfather. Trades unionists filled the pews and the Rev D. C. Millner officiated as the representative of the church and labor, while E. R. Wright, president of Typographical Union No. 16, assisted and the Rev William A. Quayle, pastor of the church made the address of welcome. L. P. Strauble, secretary of the Allied Printing Trades Council, accepted the childish behalf of labor as a future champion of the cause. Creel and his wife both expressed their desire that the boy shall become an unselfish man, giving his life to others. They declared that in their opinion organized labor was the cause which realized the best ideals of help to humanity. The delicatating of the child, they sald, was merely the expression of a desire which all true mothers and fathers must feel in regard to their children. The idea came to Oreel because of his many years' connection with labor organizations and publications. May MacDowell. Eva Marshall Shouts and Jane Addams, all sociological workers, were present. COFFEE TRUST IN BRAZIL Price of South American Product to Be Increased. New York—The financing of Brazil's coffee valorization plan has been arranged. Bankers and merchants, internationally known and all identified with the coffee trade, will advance the money needed—about $20,000,000 The bankers and merchants are located in New York, London, Havre and Hamburg. The object of the coffee valorization plan is to maintain coffee at a remunerative price to the grower by establishing a minimum quotation at which it is to be upheld by purchases of coffee on account of the three states of Brazil—Sao Paulo Rio and Minas. Interest on the loans made is guaranteed and paid by a tax on every bag of coffee shipped. The three contracting states bind themselves to maintain in the native markets a minimum price of 32 to 35 milrels per bag of 60 kilios for the first year. This price is to be gradually raised after the first year to a maximum of 40 milrels. The contracting states bind themselves to restrict or discourage by discriminating taxation the exportation of coffee of inferior grades and they further bind themselves to pass laws preventing the extension of coffee acre- ```markdown ``` CHINAWARE DEPARTMENT h holder, special ... $ .75 ide, special ... $ 1.98 amp and Globe, center draft ... $ 3.65 and goose neck ... $ 2.98 les of decoration ... $ 2.25 w blue decorations ... $ 3.15 s, with gold lines ... $ 3.95 decorations, only ... $ 7.65 n decorations ... $ 10.00 ... $ 13.50 are—blue decorations ... $ 18.00 China—floral border ... $ 20.00 China—3 patterns ... $ 23.75 ful Haviland China ... $ 26.00 NGTON CANDY KITCHEN, m delivered free.
