PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE A FIRESIDE COMPANION. It is true if you see it in THE BEE. DON'T FORBOW THIS PAPER VOL. XVI. NO. 21 OPEN LETTER SOME COLD FACTS. To Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Chairman of the National Republican Committee My dear Mr. Cortelyou—I was in New York last week and made it my Business to talk with a few of the politicians and I found them very favorable to the election of Mr. Hearst. I also found quite a number of the great daily papers opposed to hunt which I consider weakness. If you want to make a man strong I find the more you abuse him the stronger he becomes in the estimation of the people. The colored voter in New York is very independent and he has come to the conclusion that he will not listen to any more promises so if you will recall my letter to you last week I said that I would discuss quietly with you the concluding chapter of the campaigning text book that attempts to give the colored citizen a little information of which he has knowledge. If you have sent your text book, I mean the one of your Congressional Committee, you will see that it discusses the relative merit of the two great political parties toward the colored citizen. I can't find very much difference in the two parties so far as the colored citizen is concerned. The Democratic party in the South has deprived the colored citizen of his citizenship and restructured him in other instances, with the silent consent of your party. Can you deny this, Mr Cortelyou? "The democratic party believes in restricting the privileges of citizenship to a particular class, and has her opinions into the statutes, constitutions and practices of nearly every Southern State where that party is dominant." The above is the language of your text book, Mr. Cortelyou. Has the Republican party attempted to put a stop to it? Again the text book: "The Republican party believes in the doctrine so tenely expressed by President Roosevelt—All men up rather than some men down." And it has always encouraged the colored citizen in his efforts and ambition to rise higher in the scale of civilization." Now, is this a fact, Mr. Cortelyou? The policy of this administration is to depose all colored office holders in the South and put Ex-Confederates and Democrats in their places. In almost every Southern State, not even a white Republican has anything to say relative to the appointment of Republicans to office and so far as the colored Republican is concerned, he is not consulted in anything. Are you aware that Captain J. W. Lyons, formerly Register of the United States Treasury and National Committee for the State of Georgia, a colored gentleman, was never and is not now consulted about Georgia appointments? Do you know that he was removed from his office because he declared that he favored the late Senator Mark Hanna for President? Ah! Mr. Cortelyou, this is the underlying cause of the removal of Mr. Lyons. The pretext of the administration was that two person who had served two terms should be reappointed. In the face of this declaration by the administration, Mr. Cortelyou, don't you know that the Hon Auick Palmer, of this city, was appointed United States. Marshal to serve his third term? Please explain this will you, my dear Mr. Cortelyou? And yet your text book quotes the language of the President, "All men up rather than some men down." The text book should read, Mr Cortelyou, "All white men up and all negroes down." It will be more in keeping with the policy of the present administration, don't you think so? Listen, Mr. Cortelyou, what your text book says further: "The present liberal policy of the Republican party is in keeping with the board statesmanship which has characterized it from the beginning. Prior to the accession of the Republican party to power a race of 4,000,000 souls had suffered the wrongs and cruelties of human slavery with no redress either in the courts, in Congress or at the bar of public opinion." Now what do you think of this declaration? Isn't this true? Four million suffering then and over 10,000,000 suffering today; not only with the bar of public opinion against them, but with Congress, the administration and the United States Supreme Court against them. Can this be denied, Mr. Cortelyou? Now, isn't this nerve on the part of the author of this book? What has the colored man received today from the administration? In all most every department under the Government he is "Jim Crowed." The colored, ladies of education and refinement, are barred from many of your government departments. The question in my mind, Mr. Cortelyou, is this: A government of, for and by the people; or, is this government two-thirds freedom and one-third slaves? Has the colored Americans any rights under your constitution? Is he to be tried and convicted for offenses, while the white man who commits offenses against him be set free? What is the future of the colored American? You continue to hold out to him glittering generalities; you continue to make him promises. Since his emancipation, as much through his own efforts as it was through the accident efforts of others, he has been faithful to the republic and loyal to the flag. Again, Mr. Cortelyou, you appeal to the colored voter to save you from destruction. It is too late. He has lost confidence in your administration. He would be false to his God and himself if he again permits himself to be intoxicated with false promises. At Jamestown. "In the years from 1619, when the first cargo of slaves was landed at Jamestown, Va., to 1856, when the Republican party had its birth, both organic and statutory law formed an impossible bar to negro hopes and ambitions," says the text book. Yes, and now they will celebrate this event, with the assistance of Congress which appropriated thousands of dollars to a State which has declared that the descendants of those slaves have no Constitutional rights. To this Jamestown Exposition is a negro annex. And how are the negroes to get there? In a "Jim Crow" car to be sure. And yet the President says, Mr Cortelyou; "All men up rather than some men down." At this exposition all white men will be up and the negro down. The party that you represent, Mr. Cortelyou, would have the colored man to believe that he received his freedom through its efforts. That the War of the Rebellion was the gause of it, and that Abraham Lincoln freed the negro. I shall discuss this phase of the question in my next Mr. Cortelyou, and until then, believe me to be a friend of freedom and equality of citizenship. MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN. There is no man who has come to this city who has gained a better reputation as an architect than Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, formerly of Tuskegee, Ala. Mr. Pittman has been in this city a little over a year and by his gentlemanly deportment and perseverance he has won the confidence and respect of the people. Mr. Pittman has made drawings for some of the largest contractors and builders in this city. He has the reputation of being the best colored architect in the United States and equal to any white. He is a literary man as well as an architect. His offices are situated upon the second floor at the corner of 6th and Louisiana avenue. MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN. N. W. His assistant is a young man of this city who is also very competent, Mr. Pittman has submitted plans for the colored exposition building at Jamestown, Va. It is said that his plans are superior to any that have been submitted and more than likely will be accepted. It is also understood two architects from Tuskegee have submitted plans, but they don't compare with those submitted by Mr. Pittman. This young architect is very unassuming and very polished in his manners, and if contractors and builders want first-class work done, Mr. W. Sidney Pittman should be consulted. The fall opening of the Young Men's Branch of the Christian Association was held last Sunday at the True Reformers' Hall, 12th and U streets, N. W. The committee are arranging a campaign for the erection of their new building. Annie Jane Mitchell, colored, of Frankfort, Ky., aged 117, died October 11 from burns. Her husband died recently, aged 100 years. The warring factions of colored masons have had a decision. The Virginia avenue and nineteenth street who had to secure white lawyers to settle their differences are wise men now. It cost just about seven or eight hundred dollars to convince both orders that white men must lend and protect them, notwithstanding their alleged superior intelligence. Both sides have lawyers of ability but not sufficient in their estimation to employ any one to lend. After the decision of the court the evening and morning papers made no mention of the colored attorneys who were on the late end of the suit. The 19th street side will appeal the case and if necessary carry it to the United States Court. Of course it takes money and not talk. There was great jubilation when Judge Gould Rendered his decision. The Odd Fellows W. M. C. is over. The successful candidate for Grand Master attended the 19th street Baptist Church last Sunday. He went to repent THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN for the sins he committed against his defeated opponents. It is Grand Master Houston now. There will be a petition circulated against granting more pay to the judges of the Police Court. I understand that the Bar Association will also oppose it. Prof. Kelley Miller and Dr. John R. Francis have returned from New York. I have heard nothing from James a Cobb. The last time he was seen he was going in the direction of the Bowery with Douglas Wetmore. By the way, that was a nice job attempted on Douglas Wetmore. There was an effort to defeat him as head of the legal bureau of the Afro-American Council. The boys would not have it. I am glad to know that the preachers will make an effort to reform. Some of them are greatly in need of reformation. Capt. Matthews of the 14th precinct will be tried himself now. That Police Trial Board ought to be abolished. It is a first-class farce. Talking about lawyers, I am told that the judges of the New York Brooklyn coats do all in their power to assist lawyers to earn some money. A few days ago I was informed by a lady who had been to Madam Davis to have her future told, that she was thoroughly convinced that she was going to fool the lady who handled the cards. Before the Madam had finished she had been told more than she wanted to know. I am informed that Madam Davis is one of the greatest in the country. Rumor has it that the marriage of Attorney Royal Hughes will take place some time after Christmas if he doesn't change his mind. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has arrived in the city from New York. She will now assume her duties on the Board of Education and teach her opposers some sense. Mrs. Terrell is able to do so. I am quite confident that Mrs. Cooper and Mr. Clark were badly advised. The Bee suggests some good sense. I regret that Mrs. Cooper refused to accept the place offered her. FAIRPLAY. ROCKEFELLER'S GIFT OF $25,000. The main auditorium of the True Reformers Hall was crowded Sunday afternoon with men connected with the Young Men's Christian Association of this city. At 4 o'clock President Moreland called the meeting to order and announced several vocal selections that were sung by the entire assembly. Seated upon the stage were Mr. S. W. Woodward, Revs. Francis Grinkie, Sterling N. Brown, Prof. Kelley Miller, the Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association No. 1; Dr. Moreland and Mr. Calvin Chase. It was the largest meeting that has ever been held by this Association. When President Moreland, in a short pointed address introduced Mr. Woodward he was largely applauded. He spoke encouragingly to the members of the association and said, among other things that a conditional gift of $25,000 toward a $50,000 property for the colored branch of the Young Men's Christian ASSOCIATION AS IT LOOKED OCTOBER 14. D. Rockefeller, and is made on the representations by President Woodward and a special committee of the board of Trustees of the Washington Y. M. C. A., consisting of Messrs. C. F. Nesbit, T. A. Harding, and J. B. Sleman, Jr., of the need of such a building. Because of the national scope and influence of this organization at the nation's Capital, Mr. Rockefeller made the gift of $50,000 toward the Central Y. M. C. A. building project two years ago, and now comes forward with another generous subscription. The announcement was received with great enthusiasm by the earnest men of the colored branch yesterday and steps for the speedy organization of the canvass under the direction of J. E. Moorland, international secretary of the colored department, Y. M. C. A., to meet the conditions named by Mr. Rockefeller will be taken as soon as the branch secretary has been secured. Three years ago the present colored branch of the Washington Young Men's Christian Association began work without even rented quarters, but with a group of men devoted to the essentially spiritual mission of this organization, they have held together in their efforts and have hoped that a Y. M. C. A. building which should give the 20,000 colored young men of the city an equipment adequate for an all-round work on the general lines usual in the Y. M. C. A. would some day be erected. During part of the time a branch secretary, R. P. Hamlin, now of Brooklyn, was in charge of the work. A new secretary will be called shortly for the inauguration of the building project, and it is understood that the committee of management has its eye on one of the brightest and most successful of the twenty colored secretaries in this work for the position. Is Needed Here. That the Young Men's Christian Association is admirably adapted to meet the needs of this large army of young men in the National Capital along educational, social, and physical lines is well attested by its success in other colored branches and among groups of men. like students, the Indians of the far West, men of the army and navy and in the great industrial plants and mines. The pastors of local colored churches have cordially assisted the movement from the first, and the committee of management now administering this branch is made up of representatives of many leading churches. Of National Scope Perhaps the national significance of the movement for a model colored Y. M. C. A. at Washington has had most to do with the securing of the Rockefeller subscription, and has made it the most important step in a far-reaching international policy. It should be further said that for several years it has been on the heart of President Woodward and his associates to establish such a branch of the Washington Association, but with the large obligations of these gentlemen in erecting the central building on G street as a model for the world, the time for the colored branch did not seem ripe until now. With half the amount needed coming from outside Washington, as a conditional gift, the substantial impetus given to the enterprise will SUNDAY AFTERNOON, insure its ultimate success. July 1, 1907, has been designated as the time limit for securing the balance of $25,000. Membership Now is 600. As to the support of the colored branch by the young men who are to be benefitted by it, the committee announces that over 600 young men have pledged themselves for membership, and with the proposed equipment capable of accommodating 1,000 members, it seems reasonable to expect the necessary income from membership fees. The building is to be fitted up with dormitories as a source of support, and the amount to be raised from annual contributions is said to be relatively small. The only definite step already taken by the trustees' committee in the matter of the building was announced yesterday. The site which has been selected is on Twelfth street northwest, between S and T streets. The lot is 63x155, and adjoins a 20-foot alley on the south with a 30-foot alley in the rear and a part of the north side. It is regarded by members of the committee of management for the colored branch as the most desirable location in the city for the purpose. The building itself will contain social rooms, educational class rooms, a gymnasium, shower baths and a swimming pool, bowling alleys, dormitories and reading rooms. At the conclusion of Mr. Woodward's address Dr. Thirkield, president of Howard University, delivered a most eloquent and telling address. The speaker made a fine appeal for higher living and made clear that right ideals come from a belief in God. "To serve the race in the place where God puts you," said he. "is the supreme good." Dr. Thirkield is a strong friend of the Y. M. C. A. building project, and urged the men to meet the condition of Mr. Rockfeller's gift. GALBRAITH CHURCH. Sunday at 11 A.

Yorktown and Alexandria Favored by Nature In Location of’ Mineral De-° posits—Product Supplant- Ing Asbestos. ~ Alexandria, [nd—Two cities In In-. diana have been singularly favored by nature in the placing of mineral deposits, giving them an absolute mo- nopoly of the manufacture of rock wool and Its other products, the cit- fes being Yorktown and Alexandria, where comparatively large areas, cov- ering a mile square In the aggregate, are underlaid with a pecullar kind of stone, largely composed of natural glass, which when fused and blown from a blast furnace produces a per- fect imitation {n appearance of cot- ton, but absolutely non-combustible and a perfect Insulator from heat, cold and electricity. It fs rapidly supplanting asbestos and is useful n many more ways than that product, whose mines In Canada and Italy.are rapidly being exhausted, no new deposits of asbestos stone hav- ing been discovered since 1850. The Alexandria plant _ recently shipped 12 car loads to the Philippine fslands for use in the cold storage plant the government built there, while Its use, like asbestos, extends to the manufacture of fireproof the- ater drop curtains, clothing for fire- men, acid workers, lampwicks, stokers’ gloves, ete. It Is called by scientists doth fibrous and crystalline, and ‘Is designated as a mineralogical vege- table. Charlemagne 1s credited with the first public uses of it, when he made a tablectoth which he cleaned by throwing into the fire, but its real application to commercial purposes date back only 56 years. Thirteen years ago the deposits at Alexandrig and Yorktown were dis- covered by scientists, since which time extensive mills have been making the varied products into which it can be turned, and now that the stene In the Nicoson quarrles, covering 80 acres at Alexandria, has been found of the exact quality required a new company has been launched at Wind- ‘fall, Ind., to build a plant, the second at Alexandria, and engage. extensive- ‘Ty ta the manufacture of this odd and useful product of nature's labora- tory. .

Farm Product Sale Is Vast, Washinntog“the department of agriculture © a Teport on the trade with noncontiguous possessions in farm and forest products says that the value of exports of domestic farm products to foreign countries, includ- ing the Phillppine islands, in 1905 was $826,904,777. With the Philippine trade eliminated the value of the do- mestic exports to foreign countries amounted to $§25,746,927. The ship- ments of farm products from the United States to the noncontiguous possessions, Including exports to the Philippine tslands, were $14,700,000, or 1.8 per cent. of the value just given for domestic exports to forelgn coun- tries, excluding the Philippines.

Pittsburg,Officlal Experimenting So as + to Abotish Nuisance. - Pittsburg.—In the effort to further the movement for the abolition of the smoke nulsance, Director of Publlo Works J. W. Clark Is experimenting with “smokeless coal” and is hopeful vf getting ‘satisfactory results which will Tead to its general adoption for the production of steam. No preference Is to be.given to aay special brand of smokeless fuel, but during the past few days a number of tests have been made under’ his pro: duction of an artiele mined in the cen- tral part of the state. The boilers of the Park building, the Annex hotel and the Arbuckle bullding were em- ployed for thia purpose and the results have been highly satisfactory. Mc. Clark says but little smoke is pro- duced and believes it will be possible to avoid even that little with care. The coal {3 described by Mr. Clark ‘as dull in appearance and so soft that it crumbles easily In the hand, At the same time {t produces an Intense heat and Is highly appropriate as a boller fuel.

NEW YORK KINK·NE 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 hair. 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 30 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."

JACKSON. One would be surprised to know that there are several colored Americans in New York doing well. Many are in the hotel business and many are in the real estate business. The most prominent of those in the real estate business is Mr. James A. Jackson, the son of Col. Giles B. Jackson, doing business under the firm name of Jackson & Moore, 1931 Broadway. Mr. Moore is a white man and a Jew, who is highly respected for his business qualities. Mr. Jackson is the senior member of the firm and the consulting member of the firm. He has two fine offices on Broadway in one of the largest buildings in that section and M. MR. JAMES A JACKSON. they are on the first floor. This firm has a very accomplished stenographer who parents are Virginians, but the young lady is a native of New York. Mr. Jackson is a thorough business man and handles the property of millionaires and leading business men in New York. He occasionally sells property to his own people, but very seldom. His private residence is in West 134th street. He has a whole flat furnished in the most modern style. He is the very image of Col. Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va., and possesses a great deal of his shrewdness and business ability. He is a refined and polished gentleman who is popular among his clients and successful in the business in which he is engaged. HOTEL MACEO. One of the most popular hotels in New York City is the Maceo, at 213 West 53rd street, Mr. Benjamin Thomas, proprietor.

Dr. Franklin resigns his position in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to practice his profession in Huntington, W. Va. L. G. Gregory acted as toast master and the evening was spent in speeches and songs. On Friday, the 26th inst., a big treat is in store for the public at Galbraith A. M. E. Z. Church. A splendid entertainment under the auspices of Mrs. Mary Day and other ladies promises to be a magnificent event. One of the reasons that colored men like the white women (as claimed by the Southern white man) is that the negro in many cases descending from the white man (through no fault of his) has the same feeling as his former white antecedent, who loves the colored sister, and as Mr. Ben. Tillman (the mouthpiece of the South) says, the Southern white man assists, by continuous illegal colabitation with negro women. October 11th, the Rev. W. A. L. Moten, D.D., preached at the N. E. Union Baptist Church. Rev. Moten is one of our young ministers branching out in the Lord's service. He is also prominent in Masonic circles, being the national deputy for the District of Columbia, being appointed by the National Grand Lodge, the oldest Masonic jurisdiction of Masonry among colored men in the United States.

Oliver, have petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to compel railroads of the Southern states to cease practicing discrimination against colored interstate passengers. This is a step in the right direction. These are some of the keys to the solution of the great negrophobia problem in the U. S. The Washington Colored Ministers' Union opened its session at Lincoln Memorial Church, October 10, 1906. After the usual routine, etc., new officers were elected as follows: Rev. F. J. Grimke, president; Rev. D. E. Wiseman, vice-president; Rev. J. W. Smith, secretary; Rev. S. N. Brown, treasurer; Rev. W. H. Davenport, chairman committee of progress; Rev. O. J. W. Scott, chairman committee of social affairs; J. W. Poe, reporter to the President. It was decided to admit local ministers to membership. The first Sunday in November the Right Rev. W. B. Johnson, 33d degree, D.D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, will hold a grand rally. Bro. Johnson is one of our eminent divines. Mrs. Jas. F. Johnson of 125 D street, S.

Miss Maude and Mr. Harry Smith, brother and sister of the Rev. Smith, rector of St. Monica P. E. C., southwest, have returned to their home, 814 Connecticut avenue, N. W., from their vacation. Brother W. E. Hayes of 1369 Star of the West, G. U. O. of O. F., met with a painful accident by being kicked in the eye by a vicious horse. State Chairman T. L. Woodruff and County Chairman H. Parsons express considerable alarm at the overconfidence Mrs. Emma Sterling of Tampa, Fla., secretary of the Humane Society, has presented grave charges with the President against the State of Florida and its system of peonage and slave holding in the State of both white and colored men.

Owing to the numerous requests from time to time upon the legal status of Masonry among colored men in this country the same is produced. On the 6th day of March, 1775, Prince Hall, Cyrus Jonbus, Bensten Slinger, Thos. Sanderson, Prince Tayden, Cato Spean, Boston Smith, Peter Best, Fortin Howard, Prince Rees, John Canteen, Peter Freeman, Benjamin Tiber, Duff Buform and Richard Tilly were made Free and Accepted Masons by R. W. Bro. Brett, Acting Master of a Military Lodge under General Gage on Copp's Hill, Boston, Mass. In 1782 Prince Hall and Compaers petitioned England for a warrant, which was garnited September 29, 1784. By the authority of the English Grand Lodge, and designated as Africa Lodge No. 459, located at Boston, Mass., to enter, pass and raise candidates into the mysteries of Freemasonry. In 1797 Prince Hall established a lodge at Philadelphia, Pa., later a lodge at Providence, R. I. In 1888 the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts was formed. In 1873 African Lodge No. 459, afterwards changed to 370, was dropped from English Grand Lodge for non-payment of dues. From the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, formed in 1808, lodges enamated in this country with the usual result, dissension, and on June 24, 1847, the craft, under the directions of Bro. John T. Hilton, grand master of African Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, met and formed the National Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons (Compack) for the United States of North America. Brother John T. Hilton being elected the first national grand master. Lodges all surrendered their charters and took out charters under the National Grand Lodge March 27, 1848, ten months and three days after. Social Lodge No. 7, Universal No. 10 (now No. 2 under Va. jurisdiction), and Felix No. 17 met in general assembly in convention and unanimously elected R. W. Bro. David P. Jones (district deputy grand master under the Compacks); presiding officer, and R. W. Bro. John T. Coston secretary. The permanent organization of a grand lodge was consummated by electing the officers who were elected at said meeting. The constituent lodges, Social No. 7, Universal No. 10 and Felix No. 17, surrendered their former warrants or charters and took out warrants from the M. W. Grand Lodge they had constituted, according to their respective dates of formation, to wit: Social No. 1, Universal No. 3, Hiram No. 4, and down to the present time. This is a synopsical extract of the formation of Masonry in the United States and the District of Columbia. (To be continued.) Arrangements are being made by the Colored Independent Beneficial Protective Order of Elks of the District of Columbia and Alexandria for a banquet to be given in honor of Dr. W. E. Atkins, of Hampton, Va., recently elected grand eraulted ruler, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, and J. W. Holmes of Pittsburg, grand secretary, and other members of the committee on laws and revisions, soon to assemble here. Among the speakers will be William T. Vernon, register of the treasury, and Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell. The committee on arrangements consists of L. Melandez King, Dr. Harry J. Williams, John J. Carter, Thomas F.

Booker Washington says the South must get rid of the criminal negroes. How about the white criminals, Brother Booker? Thos. H. Musgrove of Miss. Co., Helena, Ark, is on trial for peonage, he having enticed two white girls (his race) and held them virtual prisoners on his plantation. Verily, the Southern white brother doesn't use the color line in his slave dealing operations like before the war. Bro. Booker, please note. Frank P. Sargent, Commissioner General of Immigration, predicts that Cannon would be re-elected, but by a reduced vote in his district. Auditor John R. Garrison paid the salaries due teachers October. 13. The Comptroller of the Treasury upheld the action of the Board to dismiss Mrs. A. J. Cooper and J. B. Clark and approves the appointment of W. T. S. Jackson and R. C. Bruce as their successors. Ill. H. M. Bailey, 33d degree, of the U. S. Marshal's office, has been elected as the R. E. G. C. of the K. T. succeeding Ill. W. H. J. Malyan, 33d degree. There were several eroneous ideas presented in the case of the 19th street Masonic faction vs. the Va. avenue faction. The main one was that the split was made to break up the Va. avenue faction. There would have never been a split if the grand master at that time had not issued his celebrated edict relating to the higher degrees. Again, members were cut off without trial. The 13th Landmark was violated. The act of incorporation was filed, first, because the origin of Masonry among colored men was assailed by the white Masons. The ruling Masonic powers of this country, see report of Grand Lodge of F. A. A. M., D. C., for year 1899, page 9, also the report of special committee of Grand Lodge of Massachusetts Masons (white) in 1876. Second, because Congress passed a law requiring all fraternal secret beneficial orders to incorporate. A great many of the bell sheep of the 19th street faction, after doing all they could to help make the trouble, skipped home (Va. ave. and 5th, S. E.) I was persuaded I was fooled. The main man who helped map out the split has returned home like the prodigal son. The very men whom the fighting was made on deserted and ran home. There are two sides to the question. As we said before, the matter should have been adjusted a long time ago and not let run as long as it has. But the Masonic lawyers and doctors who know it all are the cause of all the trouble. In this jurisdiction rumors say that our friend from the Windy City is in town incognito. The probabilities are that there will be a wedding soon between a gay bachelor from the Monumental city and one of our young widows. We are not calling any names. Read The Bee and learn sense.

Several Are - Scorched by Burning Lava—Twelve Reach Rim of Cra- Guadalajara, Mexico. — Thoroughly exhausted, their hands, feet and legs burned by contact with red-hot rocks and lava and suffering as the result of having inhaled sulphurous gases for several hours, 12 delegates to the international geological congress have returned here after an ascent of the Colima Volcano, the only continuously active volcano in North America. The party includes W. Harvey Weed, of Washington, D. C. The Washington man reached the crater of the volcano, 13,000 feet above the level of the sea. In the last 100 years not more than six men have succeeded in reaching Collima's crater. On account of the precliphotic character of the mountain and the thick covering of sand and ashes the ascent of Collima is regarded as one of the most dangerous in the world. The deadly gases that issue from the crater and the possibility of a violent eruption at any time make the ascent doubly perilous. The last man to attempt to reach the crater was Dr. Peter H. Goldsmith, of Harvard university. He failed, and announced that it was practically impossible to get as far as the crater. Thirty-five geologists started to make the ascent of the volcano. At a cost of $1,000 the state government built a house especially for their accommodation at the foot of the mountain. The entire 35 climbed as far as the end of the timber line, and, there 23 lost courage and turned back. The remaining 12 struggled for six hours to reach the crater. Long poles were used to determine footholds, as great pits of sand and ashes, each of them capable of ingulfing dozens of men, exist along Colima's sides. The climbers were half blinded by smoke and steam and in constant danger from the deadly gases, but they persevered, and finally reached the rim of the crater. At the crater's edge they encountered hot rocks and lava, thrown out by an explosion the previous night, and these burned through shoes, leggings and gloves. Through fear of suffocation, the geologists remained but a few minutes, at the crater. They were able to reach the timber line before night overtook them, and they camped on the mountain side until the following morning. The Colima volcano is 125 miles southwest of this city, in about the game latitude as the City of Mexico, and approximately 75 miles from the nearest point of the Pacific coast. For centuries—no one knows how many—Colima has been active, and during the last 300 years, at least, violent periods have been frequent and often prolonged. During these periods of violence the Mexican volcano becomes the rival of Vesuvius as a spectacular performer. The thin line of vapor that issues from the crater continuously in days of comparative quiet, gives way to a great pillar of black smoke; hot rocks of various sizes—some of them giant bowlers—sand and ashes are thrown into the air for hundreds of feet above the crest of the mountain; flames leap from the crater and lightning plays above it and terrifying subterranean rumblings and sharp detonations are heard for many miles. Often the fall of sand and ashes is so dense as to cause extreme darkness during the daylight hours in the vicinity of the volcano. Those who climbed to the crater of Colima are: W. Harvey Weed, Washington, D. C.; John E. Wolf, Boston; E. O. Hovey, New York; Rudolf Ruedemann, Albany, N. Y.; H. F. Cleland, Williamston, Mass.; H. F. Reed, Baltimore; Frand D. Adams and J. Austen Bancroft, Montreal; A. P. Coleman, Toronto, George Berg and Rudolf Stobbe, Berlin, Germany, and Tsumanaka Iml, Tokio, Japan. Thinks Cows Are Cursed. Shamokin, Pa.—Having lost a large number of cattle during the last year, and believing a neighbor thought by some of the superstitious to be a witch was causing him bad luck, Joseph Gottshalk, a prosperous Mabayan valley farmer, has signed a contract with a woman in this city to give him protection for one year. The woman is alleged to possess the powers of witchcraft. Gottshalk will pay her a regular salary for her protection. In 12 months he has lost, through sickness and accident, many cows, horses and pigs, although his barn was a model of sanitation. Since Gottshalk first called on this woman protector the illness in his stock has ceased, and he is enthusiastic over the venture. Finds Horns of Irish Elk. Dublin.While cutting turf on a bog in County Limerick, a laborer came on the horns of an Irish elk, and, carefully digging, exhumed the head and antlers of a magnificent specimen of this great deer, where it had lain for centuries, preserved by the peat. The horns measure from tip to tip eight feet two inches. It is in a wonderful state of preservation, considering the period of time which had elapsed since these animals existed, as no authentic time or satisfactory theory is forthcoming when they lived or what caused their extinction. Ireland was, undoubtedly, its home. PARIS' MAY TRY DRESSMAKING Stay Factory Has Proved Money Maker So Council May Seek Other Fields. Paris.—Paris' municipal councillors are looking for something new to municipalize. They are tired of gas, electricity, street cars, water, bread, milk, foods, wines, beer and corsets. Perhaps they will go in for dressmaking. Anyhow, the councillors are proud of their success in municipalizing corsets. The corset is essentially an "article de Paris." The city council decided last spring to establish a school of corsets. Not much was made known about the concern, for it was largely an experiment. An establishment was secured on the Rue Foundary and a municipal committee headed by M. Adolphe Cherloux was charged to superintend the operations of the school, the school began business. It has been eminently successful and a money making venture. Publicity is now given the affair because the professor is leaving and the city council must appoint another. There has been a great rush of applicants. The council has now decided to let a jury choose the professor. Applicants of both sexes will send in their qualifications with their model. Five experts will judge the competition, and the best man or woman "professeur de corset de la ville." PERFECT DRAINAGE FOR DUBLIN. Malodorous Liffey River Is Converted Into a Respectable Sewer. Dublin.—The new main drainage scheme just inaugurated destroys forever one of the characteristic features of Dublin which most impressed visitors—the smell of the Liffey river, which has been, in reality, the main sewer of the city. It is expected that the stream will now be as clear as the Selne in Paris. The drainage scheme cost £600,000 ($3,000,000) and 15 years were required for the completion of the work. An attempt was made to have the lord lieutenant of Ireland perform the opening ceremony, but the nationalists in the city corporation objected to having any English official figure ornamentally in the inauguration of an enterprise organized and paid for by the city. The ceremony was accordingly performed by the chairman of the improvements committee. The boat which conveyed the guests to the outfall works at the mouth of the Liffey flew the union jack, but Alderman Kelley, leader of the extreme nationalist party in the corporation, cut the flag down and threw it into the river. At the luncheon following the ceremony Kelley objected to the toast to the king and left the marquee with his friends. FOUND BY A PHOTOGRAPH. Father and Daughter United After Separation of Twenty-Six Years.3 Carmil, Ill.—Believing each other dead, Joseph G. Holt, an old soldier of this city, and his daughter, Mrs. Malissa Smith, suddenly met the other day after a quarter of a century separation. Twenty-six years ago Holt lived in Henderson county, Kentucky, and moved here upon the death of his wife. He left his infant daughter in care of relatives, and was later told that she had died a few weeks after he had left. Holt went to Mount Vernon, Ind., and while on the streets was accosted by a young woman, who asked his name. A cherished photograph, kept since childhood, had so engraved the likeness of her father upon her mind that she thought she recognized her father in the stranger. It was so, and the long lost daughter ended her quest for her missing parent by throwing her arms about him upon the mention of his name. PULL STRAWS FOR KITTENS. Novel Plan of Justice to Settle Dispute Between Two Women. Wilkesbarre, Pa—In a final effort to settle a case which would have puzzled Solomon, Alderman Donohue, of this city, has a reputation for novel decisions, made the disputants pull straws, and decided in favor of the winner. Miss Minnie Custer owns a cat which gave birth to three kittens in the home of Miss Fannie Moore, Miss Moore claimed the kittens, and when she would not give them up, Miss Custer locked up the cat. Miss Moore accused her of cruelty to animals, and the Humane society sent Officer Haffey to investigate. In this manner the case got before Alderman Donohue. He could not find legal authority for deciding the ownership of the kittens, and ordered the women to pull straws. Miss Custer won. She will give Miss Moore a kitten when it is weaned. Baby Weighted by 16 Names. Louisville, Ky.-Henry Gottbrath, desiring to compliment the members of No. 12 engine company for having saved his house from destruction by fire, said he intended to name his newly born babe after the members of the company. The other day he had the child christened John Smith Paul Graham Matt Kelly Ralph D. Brown Edward Buckner George Boylan David McCorkhill Henry Gottbrath. Gottbrath said his son was handcapped with the longest name he had ever heard of, but thought he would be able to overcome any obstacle that might arise from that fact.

Washington.—During the year ending June 30, 1905, according to a statement issued by the interstate commerce commission, an average of 26 people were killed and 238 injured every day in railroad accidents in the United States. The total number killed during the year was 9,703, while the injured numbered 86,008. The greatest casualties were among the employees of railroads, as follows: Trainmen, 1,900 killed and 29,853 injured; switch tenders, crossing tenders, and watchmen, 136 killed, 883 injured; other employees, 1,235 killed, 36,097 injured.

Switch tenders, crossing tenders, and watchmen killed, 8; injured, 37. Other employees killed, 55; injured, 750. The number of passengers killed was 537 and injured 10,457. In the previous year 441 passengers were killed and 9,111 injured. There were 341 passengers killed and 6,053 injured because of collisions and derailments. The total number of persons other than employees and passengers killed was 5,805; injured, 8,718. These figures include the persons trespassing, of whom 4,865 were killed and 5,261 injured. The total number of casualties to persons other than employees from being struck by trains, locomotives, or cars was 4,569 killed and 4,163 injured.

At other points along track, passengers killed, 6; injured, 37; other persons killed, 3,320; injured, 1,891. The ratios of casualties indicate that one employee in every 411 was killed, and one employee in every 21 was injured. With regard to trainmen—that is, enginemen, firemen, conductors, and other trainmen—one trainman was killed for every 133 employed and one injured for every nine employed. In 1905 one passenger was killed for every 1,375,855 carried and one injured for every 70,655 carried. For 1904 the figures show that 1,622,267 passengers were carried for one killed and 78,523 passengers carried for one injured. The interstate commerce commission has also made public statistics of railways in the United States for the year ending. June 30, 1905, based on reports of the railroads as required by law. These show that on June 30, 1905, the total single track railway mileage in the United States was 218,101, or 4,196 miles more than at the end of the previous year. The operated mileage for which substantially complete returns were rendered to the commission was 216,971 miles, including 7,568 miles of line used under trackage rights. The aggregate length of railway mileage, including tracks of all kinds, was 306,796 miles. The reported number of persons on the pay rolls of the railways in the United States on June 30, 1905, was 1,282,196, an average of 637 employees per 100 miles of line. The par value of the amount of railway capital outstanding on the date named was $13,805,258,121. Of the total capital stock outstanding $2,435,470,327 paid no dividends. The number of passengers reported as carried by the railways was 738,834,667, being 23,414,985 more than in 1904. The number of tons of freight reported as carried was 1,427,731,905, exceeding the tonnage of 1904 by 117,822,740 tons. The gross earnings from the operation of 216,973 miles of line were $2,082,182,406, or $107,308,315 greater than for 1904. and for the first time exceeding the $2,000,000,000 mark. The operating expenses were $1,990,602,132, or $51,705,899 more. than in 1904. The income from operation or the net earnings of the railways amounted to $691,850,254, this amount exceeding the corresponding one for the previous year by $65,602,416. The amount of dividends declared during the year under review was $235,046,897, leaving as the surplus from the operations of the year $89,043,490. Qualit Basketry Work of Nuns of Protestant Community of Solitary. Ephrata, Pa.—The early German settlers in Pennsylvania accomplished some wonderful feats in spinning, weaving, basket making, etc., and there are few evidences of this thrift and skill that have been preserved that are more interesting than the wonderful basketry, the "Fracture-Schrift" inscriptions, and the handwoven linens that are not preserved in the Saal and the "Sister House" on the ancient cloister grounds here. One huge basket stands nearly as high as the cloister nun who made it, and it is nearly as broad as tall. It is a fine specimen of the workmanship of the industrious "Sisters" of the famous Protestant Community of the Solitary, and it is said to have been made for holding the daily supply of bread for the monks and nuns of this quaint co-operative community. There are numerous varieties of baskets here, in all shapes and sizes, that were used for various purposes. In the "Sister House" are also found Mammoth Bread Basket. many types of ancient spunning wheels and other paraphernalia that produced the famous linens still preserved in the cloister buildings, while in the "Saal" are the handmade wooden plates and knives and forks, the oldtime crockery and hourglasses, and rare specimens of "Fracture-Schrift," mounted and framed. The Sister House and the Sister Saal—old Saron and Penial—are apparently as stanch and well preserved at the present time as when erected in the long ago, by the earliest of cooperative colonies. The milling industries, the curious architecture of the buildings, the hooded and inclosed doorways, the steep roofs, and other exterior peculiarities, also attract attention; but the carefully treasured relics of the old cloister industries, hoarded within the buildings, are of still greater interest to the visitor of to-day. CHURCH HAS LIGHTHOUSE BELL. Once Signaled Vessels, Now Calls People to Worship. Boston.—The Baptists of Bryants Pond, Mc., are called to church by a bell that was originally in the lighthouse on Minots ledge. After the lighthouse was destroyed in the great storm of the early '40s the bell was secured from the ocean bottom and placed in the Francis T. Faulkner woolen mill at Turner. It hung there more than half a century. After the burning of this mill in September, 1905, during which fire Mr. Faulkner lost his life, the bell was recast and presented to the Bryants Pond Baptist church by Mrs. Anna Chase, a daughter of the 'late Mr. Faulkner. J. Osborne Faulkner, Auburn, city editor of the Lewiston Journal and Bell from Minot's Ledge. grandson of the late Francis Faulkner, wears a very pretty charm to his job in the form of a miniature bell made from this same metal. Profits from Lotteries State lotteries add to the incomes of foreign governments. In Italy, they bring the government in a sum of nearly $12,500,000 a year. In Prussia the profits of the public lottery amount to no less than $21,250,000. The Dutch government gets the nice little sum of $250,000 profit out of its lottery. Portugal makes about $250,000 in this way. and Denmark a profit of $290,000. In Brazil, where the government does not itself run the lottery, but collects a tax on the receipts of private lotteries, the amount realized is $85,000. Eye Photographs. At fashionable luncheons and dinners the latest fad is "eyeology." Everybody has one one of his or her eyes photographed, and these so-called "eyegraphs" are exchanged without being marked in any way so that their identifies can be known. Then the photographs are produced, and the ones guessing correctly most of the eyes at each of the gatherings receive handsome gifts. Blacking from a Flower. Juice from an-Australian flower, gnu bibiscus species, is used for blacking shoes. ECCENTRIC RICH MAN ODD CHARACTERISTICS OF A WISCONSIN MILLIONAIRE. Lald Foundation for His Wealth in Chicago After Great Fire—Eats at a Three-Cent Lunch Counter and Wears $6 Suit of Clothes. Madison, Wis.—The spectacle of a millionaire being arrested for alleged violation of the city ordinances in leasing property for disorderly purposes has called attention to the unique personality of Frank A. Ogden. The capital city of Wisconsin cannot boast many millionaires. It is a city of sturdy, well-to-do people, who point with pride to Robert M. LaFollette, a type of poor man who has remained poor despite his extraordinary success in politics. But Frank A. Ogden is another type, and it is probable that no city in the country possesses a citizen who has such a quantity of contradictory habits as Mr. Ogden. His leading characteristic is his eccentricity. If he were not worth a million it would attract but little attention, but in some ways he emulates the late Russell Sage. Ogden was one of the men who get a start in the big Chicago fire of 1871. It may be said that his prosperity dates from that acutic episode. With the natural acumen of the business man Ogden saw his apportunity and made the most of it. He decided that he could make a fortune if he made the proper use of his money, and scarcely before the embers of the fire had died down Ogden was negotiating for leases on all the buildings he could get hold of. Possessing ready money, this was an easy task at that time. He immediately re-leased the buildings at greatly advanced figures, and to this is due his rise in fortune. Right after the fire property commenced to soar in value, and money commenced to flow in a steady stream into, the Ogden coffers. Well placed investments increased his income, and he soon was known as one of the city's wealthy men. For years Ogden has lived a quiet life in Madison, occasionally coming into the limelight on account of his well known pardonious FRANK A. OGDEN. (Wisconsin's Most Eccentric Millionaire.) habits. He is one of the most abstemious of the inhabitants of this city, and says he does not know how much he is worth. Eating his meals at a 3-cent counter, spending a considerable portion of his time in the capitol park in a rustic seat reading the daily papers which others have discarded, Frank A. Ogden, the clitzen, wearing a $6 suit, has long been stigmatized in the town for his frugality. Ogden, the business man, sweeps out his town hotel office, shaves himself, and keeps business notes on the back of envelopes. To those who inquire his business he replies that "he is a retired lumber merchant, reasonably successful and satisfied." Ogden was born at Palmetto Post, N. Y., somewhere about 1830. He declines to give his exact age, but some time ago, in response to an inquired, salty, playfully: "If any young girl wants to get married, I am old enough." Another peculiarity of his in this respect is to give his age as 40. He is, however, more than 70, as he entered the University of Wisconsin with the first class in 1850, 56 years ago. The Ogdens left New York in 1836, starting overland for Wisconsin. They passed through Chicago and Frank Ogdens says of the incident: "That part of the city of Chicago west of the river was a wet marsh and valued at $15 an acre. I had just $15 then, but did not conclude to invest." Ogden's first real estate venture was in Madison. He had $30 and borrowed $20 more of his mother to make a payment on four lots which he bought near the state university ground on time payment. Before the next payment became due he sold one lot for more than the four cost. Mr. Ogden is said to be worth a million or more. Besides his two hotels in Madison, he has big holdings of immensely valuable lake front property in Chicago, property in Superior, Wis., in Kansas, and in the state of Washington, where he recently sold a township of land at a handsome profit. Some time ago he said he owned a hundred farms in Wisconsin, and at one time owned many more in Kansas. A Madison man who knows him well says: "He has the instinct of buying right. A man can easily get broke on land, but Ogden is too sharp." Ogden got a big start by deals in Kansas. Without seeing the land he bought a big belt which some company offered to unload on him at a big figure. Ogden has faith in the future. He buys on a 15-year basis. He says every 15 years each section, and particularly each pioneer section, takes a big fresh start. He is willing to wait his 15 years to double his money.

AN IMPOSING MEMORIAL Monument Erected by State of New York at Lookout Mountain. New York.—New York's beautiful monument on Lookout Mountain speaks for itself in the public herewith. The memorial is now finished, with the exception of the bronze work, which is to be very elaborate and artistic and will require much care and time to finish.

Washington.—The ‘geological survey has made public statistics on the pro- duction of coal in the United States in 1905. From these It Appears that both {a quantity and value the production surpassed all previous records in this country. The output amounted to 392,919,341 short tons, which had a ‘value at the mines of $476,756,963. Compared with 1904 the output in 1905 exhibits an increase of 41,102,943 short tons, or 11.7 per cent. In quantity ‘and of $32,385,942, or 7.3 per cent. in value. Of the total production of 1905, 69, 339,152 long tons, equivalent to 77 699,850 short tons, were Pennsylvania anthracite, with a value at the mines of $141,879,000. The total production ot bituminous coal and lignite was 315,259,491 short tons, valued at $334,- 877,963. The production of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania for 1905 was 4, 020,662 long tons, or 4,503,151 short tons, more than that of 1904, while the Increase In tht production of bl- tuminous coal and Ignite was 36,599, 882 short tons, A portion of these Increases tn both anthracite and bituminous productions Was due to the efforts of operating companies to provide a supply of fuel In anticipation of a strike in April, 1906, ~ The total production of this country last year was neatly 50 per cent. larger than that of Great Britain, which until 1899 was the leading coal- Producing country of the world. The total value of the stone pro- duced in the United States during 1905, according to a forthcoming re- Port, was $63,798,748. The correspond: ing value for 1904 was $58,765,715, The increase was caused by more activity In the bullding trades. ++ The production of coke tn the Unit- ed States during 1905 surpassed all ‘previous records in the history of cokemaking in this country, The total output of coke In the United States last year amounted to 32,231,129 short tons, against 23,661,166 short tons In 1904, | BOG JOURNEYS 500 MILES, Animal Travels from ‘Nebraska to Old Home th lowa. Des Motnes, Ia.—Thin and gaunt, and with no other instinct to guide him save the memory of a warm kennel, good food and an occastonal caress, a Uttle Scotch collle dog sold to a man at Valentine, Neb., by D. Weeks, of this city, returned 500 miles to Its for. mer master In Des 3folnes. So wabbly and weak was the dog that had it not been for a glad lght of recognition that sprang into his eyes as his for. mer master opened the door, he might have been driven from the premises. Just how long the dog was making the distance has not yet been agcer- ‘tained, but with unerring instinct he made his way ‘over hil! and prairie, through timber and across rivers, final- ly arriving In Des Molnes, where ho was given a hearty welcome, a warm Kennel and a hot bowl of milk for a starter. Five weeks before a man from Val- entine, Neb., saw the colllé, bought him and took it back with him to Val. entine, After the collle left his new home he was seen at Fremont, Neb., whore some boys threw stones at him while he was stealing a meal from a back door. This was the report until he appeared in Des Moines. ‘Mr, Weeks was awakened by a alight scratching at the front door. On open- ing it he saw a shaggy, thin, dirty little collle, and from bis actions at first judged he was mad. He soon recognized his former pet, however, and declares he would not now part ‘with the animal for twice its value. Must Pay Former Love.

Without her knowledge Wits!l married another estimable lady, and Miss HIN brought sult. She was rep- resented by one of the ablest lawyers in the county, and his unmerctful scoring of Witsll during the trial was one of the reasons for which a new trial was asked.

The Connécticut displaces 16,000 tons and is the biggest of battleships except the English Dreadnaught, which bas a displacement of 18,000 tons. She was launched two years ago to a day, and carries an armament of four 12-1nch guns, eight elght-Inch, 12 seven-inch, 20 three-tnch, 12 three-pounders and eight one-pounders, {n addition to many small caliber guns. The full complement of men and officers, including the marine guard, Is 850, of whom 550 are yet lacking. To drive her twin screws, the Connecticut is provided with engines which cost $1,000,000. For six days they were run under severe test conditions and they worked perfectly. Not only do these engines furnish motive power, but they provide electricity for 100 motors in various parts of the vessel, by which all the mechanical work is performed, such as the turning of tur- rets and the hoisting of ammunition. Electricity is everywhere. It lights the vessel and it transmits its fight- ing orders. From the forward bridge a “telatograph” transmits the actual handwriting of the commander's orders to every gun station and engine room in the ship, just as the telephone transmits the spoken order, From the two bridges blaze two searchlights five feet in diamter, exactly twice as large as any searchlights ever carried by a battleshlp before.

London,—“Prominent Families of the United States ot America,” is the title of a book soon to be published by Arthur Meredith Burke, son of the late Str Bernard Burke, compiler of “Burke's Peerage,” and other works on the ancestry of Great Britain’s un ‘titled land owners. . Armorial bearings in plenty are te appear In the. book, the title page of which will bear the coat of arms of ‘Washington. ; One of the specimen pages is de voted to the history of the, Roosevelt family, and Its coat of arms. The earliest recorded ancestor of the pres ident, Claes Martenzen Yan Rosen velt, emigrated from Zealand in Hol land to the New Netherlands In 1649 ‘The progency of this man fs shown tt have figured prominently in the mill tary and civil history of New York culminating In the particularly streau ous and brililant career of Theodore The facts for the Roosevelt history were furnished to Mr. Burke by Mrs. Roosevelt after considerable corre spondence. “I cannot yet say,” said Mr. Burke, “how many families will be represent ‘ed in my compilation, but It will be the most complete and authoritative work on American genealogy ever attempt. ed. It will be published {n a few months, and no family will be admitted except on Its merits, Leading Amert. cans have been engaged for several ‘years in tracing thelr lineage, and the results of their investigation have been submitted to me for verification. It has been an infinitely difficult and 1a. borlous task, but very fasc{nating. When my grandfather started “Burke's Peerage” he had complete officlal rec- ords to go on. I must search out the necessary facts in parish and other local records of nonconformist assocla ‘tions, 1n Yamily papers and scattered ‘collections of manuscripts In Great Britain, Ireland and America. “The facts show that when English: men and other Zuropéans sneer at the efforts of Americans to establish ped! \grees they display nat only discourtesy but ignorance. The lineages of the Jeading American families bring to the lavestigator extraordinary men and women at every turn, and prove that these families are proud and jealous of their virtues and deeds, and are care- ful not to marry beneath thelr level. The persistence of lines of distinction lean be discerned right through the so- cfal history of America. “While the Americans who are trac: ing out and authenticating thelr an: \cestry are not actuated primarily by a desire to create an American aristo- cratic class, they are In reality defluing what the world is bound to récognize as an American aristocracy.” |, SAWED CELL BARS WITH YARN.

Itis the first case of the kind on record, as far as can be learned, and the prisoner who used it In the Leavenworth: penitentiary is the ori- ginator. 7 “The prisonke was confined in one of the {solation bells. A guard standing on a tler abqve noticed him working his hands back and forth around the bars and notified the guards on the lower floor, They Investigated and found that the top bad been sawed through.

Hobo Gets an Illustration of Muscular ‘ Christianity. C — Indlanapolis—Rev. Ftancis Heary Gavisk, one of the most popular mem- bers of the Catholic priesthood In In- diana, showed the other afternoon that ho had not forgot how to take care of himself In a fight. He quickly disposed of a tramp who insulted him at his own home. The tramp rang the door bell and asked for sdmething to eat. He was {nsolent about it, but Father Gavisie gave him a dime. At that the tramp acted as if he was deeply offended. “Do you think I am going to a cheap restaurant?” he asked. “I guess you don’t want that dime; so give it back,” answered the priest. The tramp replied with a string of oaths that he wouldn't give up the money, whereupon Father Gavisk grappled with him. There was a short, sharp struggle, which the priest won. He not only recovered the money, but shoved the man Into tho street before he could recover his balance, The tramp attempted to renew the ttacte, but the priest was too clever With his fists to be injured. s : ‘dace to Have Great Navy. !

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 child on 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 dedicating of the child, they said, was merely the expression of a desire which all true mothers and fathers must feel in regard to their children. The idea came to Creel 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 munerative price to the grower by establishing a minimum quotation at which it is to be upheld by purchase 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 milreis per bag of 60 kilos for the first year. This price is to be gradually raised after the first year to a maximum of 40 milreis. The contracting states blind themselves to restrict or discourage by discriminating taxation the exportation of coffee of inferior grades and they further blind themselves to pass laws preventing the extension of coffee acre CHINAWARE DEPARTMENT h holder, special ... $ 75 de, 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 ... $10.00 n decorations ... $13.50 ... $15.00 are—blue decorations ... $18.00 China—floral border ... $20.00 china—3 patterns ... $23.75 iful Haviland China ... $26.00 NGTON CANDY KITCHEN, m delivered free.
