It has now come to the point where colored soldiers are threatened with muster out if they don't disclose the names of their comrades who so nobly defended themselves against a Texas mob. Every American voter and citizen loves honor and his people, who loves liberty and independence, who dares to condemn oppression, and who is not a coward, will resent this threat at the pals next month. My dear sir, you, as national chairman of a once great party, should see to it that the color of a person's skin makes no difference in a Republic whose emblem is equality of citizenship. Why should the colored voter be made the target for political parties? If I were called upon to nominate a Republican standard bearer I would name Secretary Shaw, Foraker or Fairbanks: If I were asked where the colored vote would go if Bryan or Hearst were nominated against Roosevelt, I would say that it would go to one or the other. The last threat of Mr. Roosevelt to honorably discharge the colored troops if names of those who assaulted a mob were not disclosed, has alienated the colored vote so far as Mr. Roosevelt is concerned. Again, your campaign text book says: "The outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Spain offered another opportunity for the Republican party to demonstrate its loyalty to the broad principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and given legal sanction by the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. In that war over 15,000 black soldiers were called into service, among them out precedent in all our national history" If you remember, conditions were such that necessity forced the employment of colored soldiers and the appointment of colored officers. If you remember also, ex-rebel generals were made brigadiers and loyal colored men were only made lieutenants or paymasters. The late President McKinley appointed Mr. Lynch paymaster in the army, but can any great act be pointed to the present administration, so far as the colored citizen is concerned? To the contrary the colored soldier is threatened with dismissal if he refuses to disclose. He will refuse, Sir, and my next letter shall tell you and discuss with you the number of offices it is claimed the colored man holds and has been appointed to by the Republican party. By all means keep your eyes on New York and believe me to be. Very respectfully. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. The time of year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty because of the blessings we have received, and of prayer that these blessings be continued. Yet another year of widespread well-being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibilities, but rather a sober sense of our many blessings, and a resolute purpose, under Providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own. Material well-being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national, greatness and happiness. If we build nothing upon this foundation, then our national life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well-being must be built the superstructure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity itself stood of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received and earnestly bent upon turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction. Accordingly I hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and supplication, on which the people shall meet in their homes or their churches, devoutly acknowledge all that has been given them and to pray that they may, in addition, receive the power to use these gifts aright. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 22d day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixt, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-first.

XCMAT NEGRO BUILDING JAMES TOWN EXPOSITION BY WI SIDNEY PITTMAN, THE SUCCESSFUL COMPETITOR What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard Col. Giles B. Jackson was in the city last week in the interest of the Jamestown Negro Exposition. Col. Jackson would not say who the successful competitor for making drawings for the negro building would be. I understand that things are lively and there are brakers ahead. Capt, James F. Oyster is confronted with strange conditions in the schools. The scandal mongers are at work and all kinds of charges against teachers are in his possession. If a person recommends another, that person is declared to be unreliable and without moral standing. If the Board of Education is to believe all it hears and all that is given it, there will not be a respectable colored citizen in the city. The reputation of no teacher is safe from the scandal mongers. Strange to say, the white NEGRO BVILLE BY W. SIDNEY P teachers are free from such rot There is another rumor in the air to the effect that Prof Montgomery is to be transferred to the supervising principalship to succeed Cardozo, and Justice Terrell is to succeed Prof. Montgomery, Mrs. Terrell is to resign and Mrs. Curtis is to succeed her, and James A. Cobb or H. H. Haines is to succeed Mr. Terrell. Charges are now flying thick and fast against the respective candidates and just where it will end no one seems to know. Capt. Oyster is dumbfounded and Dr. Chancellor is at a standstill. Miss Marie Madre is holding forth at the Metropolitan Church. I have heard nothing as yet of the other organization of which Mr. Davidson is president. Just when he will call his association together I am unable to state. Attorney Napoleon Marshall will practice law in this city. He has bid farewell to Boston, Mass., and taking up law in the city of his birth. My friend, Capt. J. A. Lyons, will open law offices in this city. He has not decided where he intends to settle down as yet. I mean he has not selected his office spot as yet. I am glad to know that a bar association is in sight. I believe that one will be organized this time indeed and in fact. Recorder J. C. Dancy had a most delightful time in Richmond, Va. He will never forget the many pleasant opportunities that he allowed to slip by. Recorder Dancy is popular in Richmond, Va., any way. He is always a welcome visitor in the city upon the hills. My friend W. L. Houston is to be banquetted. The boys are jubilant over his victory and now they are going to enjoy a pleasant dinner. Now if the citizens want to help a good cause let them join forces and assist the Young Men's Christian Association to raise the $25,600. Will the people raise it? Out of the great number of organizations in the city I am sure that amount will be forthcoming. Well, the colored Masons will have a respite of two weeks. Grand Master Grimshaw declares that he is going to put Grand Master Scott of the 19th street Masons out of business. Just when he is going to do it I am not able to state at present. The 19th street Masons declare that they are only stung a little but not enough to lay them up. They will be reinforced when they come again, which will be very soon. Do you like money?

There were five competitors from which the Exposition Company had to take its selection. The contest narrowed down between Mr. James A. Lankford of this city and Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, formerly of Tuskegee, Ala., but now of this city. The five drawlig generals to the supervising architect of the Treasury Department, who after examination forwarded them to the Negro Development and Exposition Company at Richmond, Va. The committee consisted of W. DING JAMES PITTMAN, THE SUCCESSFUL CO Isaac Johnson, Rev. A. Binga, Jr., R. T. Hill and Col. Giles B. Jackson, Messis. Lankford and Pittman appeared before the committee at Richmond, Va., last week, each with a copy of their drawings and in its presence they were explained. There was a very lively session of the committee and the two competitors. The committee after a thorough examination of the two sets of drawings and the explanation each gave, retired for consultation and unanimously reported in favor of the drawings made by Mr. W. Sidney Pittman. The Bee last week stated briefly that Mr. Pittman's drawings were before the committee and they would no doubt be selected. A distinguished architect in speaking of Mr. Pittman, speaks, as follows: Mr. W. Sidney Pittman completed the course in the wheelwrighting division and graduated from the literary department. During his term of four years he showed such great ability in architectural drawing that the principal and others persuaded him to stay and take advanced architectural course, which he completed in two years. It soon developed that the principal and several MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN. others discovered that Mr Pittman had such fine ability as an architect that the school he was attending advanced him money to pay all of his expenses for three years to take a course in architecture at Drexel Institute. Mr. Pittman graduated with high honors from this institute, being fourth in his class. As soon as he graduated he was given a position as an architect, which not only required him to make plans for all new buildings while serving in this position, but to teach architecture to the advanced and postgraduate students, which he did with a great deal of credit. The Callis P. Huntington Memorial --- Building, the largest and most substantial building, which contains forty-one large class rooms, was designed by Mr. Pittman. There are at least a dozen other buildings, including large and small, drawn by Mr. Pittman. The plans for six of the large buildings were made by white architects residing respectively in New York, Philadelphia, Montgomery, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. The plans for seven of the other large buildings were made by Mr. R. R. Taylor. Mr. W. T. Bailey, architect, made plans for the negro building at the Fair in Montgomery, which is just being completed. He also remodeled the plans of one of the large buildings at Montgomery, which has just been drawn before he was employed. Mr. Pittman is considered a natural born architect and great efforts were made to keep him in Alabama, but his friends and instructors thought that it would be best to encourage him to go elsewhere than to keep him in the far ACCEPTED DESIGN W. SINCE HUMAN AD. MCM1 N-EXPOSITION COMPETITOR South. That he would be more of a credit to his race, if he were to go out where he would have a broad field in which to work. His leave from the South of course lost him a contract of $5,000 dining-room which forced the employment of white architect from Atlanta. There is no young man in this country better known than Mr. Pittman since he branched out for himself. He is an industrious, quiet and unassuming young man who commands respect wherever he goes. His presentation of his plans to the Exposition committee at Richmond, Va., last week was done in such a gentlemanly and dignified manner and the fact that his plans were more acceptable to the committee won their admiration. The Negro Building at the Jame-town Exposition as it appears in The Bee this week was the work of this colored artist. Mr. Pittman is no doubt the youngest colored architect in the United States and he as well as for the race to which he is identified. The fact that the committee was unanimous in its report, is sufficient proof that his plans were more acceptable than others. THE TRIAL BOARD Some time ago Officer Albert Johnson, colored, was tried before the police trial board for conduct unbecoming an officer. The alleged offense consisted in the arrest of a Democratic Congressman's son, whose home is in Mississippi. The trial board mildly reprimanded Officer Johnson for doing his duty, but this didn't seem to satisfy the prosecution. So the case was returned to the trial board and the entire charge dismissed. Now the prosecution took an appeal to the Commissioners, where it was argued by Attorney Chase Thursday morning. This is the first case since the organization of the trial board that has ever been appealed by the prosecution. A full history of the case will be published in The Bee. WHERE SHOULD HE GO?

REV. CORROTHERS NOT ENDORSED. The consensus of opinion among the people is that Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of Gallbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, is more interested in Mrs Cooper and Mr. Cardozo than the pastor of their own church. Both are members of St. Luke's Church and yet it is claimed their pastor has not take any interest in them at all. The members of Rev. Corrothers' Church are not in favor of him continually taking up other people's quarrels. It is quite evident that the colored High School was in need of reorganization. It is claimed by teachers in the High School that the former principal often agreed with the pupil against the teacher. When the teacher would call the attention of the principal to the action of the pupil he would get no satisfaction. So far as the people are concerned, Rev. Corrothers does not represent their sentiments. They know more about the conditions in the High School than Rev. Corrothers, who has taken up the course of two dismissed teachers who have never had any interest in the citizens of this city and who have no regrets at their removal. The mass meeting that is called for Monday evening well demonstrates the fact that Rev. Corrothers is speaking his own sentiments and not the people's.

BIG IOWA CORN RANCH ONE FIELD EXPECTED TO YIELD 525,000 BUSHELS. Is Largest in the World—Farmhouse on It Make a Small Town—Owner Passes His Winters In Chicago. Odebolt, Ia.—When it is considered that there are such corn fields in Iowa as Adams' 15,000-acre ranch at this place, producing 525,000 bushels every season, and employing regularly 105 men, it is little wonder that the state of Iowa has a 400,000,000-bushel corn crop for 1906. Before long 200 men will start on the 15,000 acres of corn, which will all be husked from the shock. Then the stocks will be shred- ded for the fat cattle before spring. This corn field is the largest in the world. The full 15,000 acres was planted with tested seed and is expected to yield an average of more than 35 bushels to the acre. This is considered a small average for Iowa corn this season. Thirty-seven double stalk cutters will be used to bind the corn in the field this fall. Mules are employed almost everywhere to do the heavy draft work on the farm, and there are over 200 of these animals kept there constantly. Mr. and Mrs. Adams and family are at present at their winter home in Chicago and the farm is in the hands of its manager. With the exception of a large number of feeders which are purchased every fall, no cattle are raised on the big farm except enough milk cows to keep the help supplied with milk. Last winter Mr. Adams had 6,000 sheep brought from his North Dakota ranch for feeding, and it is announced that he will do it again this winter as soon as the present yardfull of cattle has been marketed. The affairs at the farm are conducted with as much system as in any large business office in this city. There is a main office and headquarters where the manager of the farm has his desk. It is here that Mr. Adams himself passes a large part of his time in summer. The farm is divided into sections, and each part is under the direction of a subforeman and worked by his force of men. All the houses of the employees are located in one place near the center of the farm, making a small town. A schoolhouse is also erected here for the children of the workers. The farm and its methods are a revelation to the visitor. Adams is an enthusiast for good roads and all through the place he has built handsome driveways. There is another farm in Sac county, Iowa, which contains 6,000 acres. The land there is not all tilled as on the Adams ranch, and hence it is not of so general interest to the public. It is, though, among the record breakers in this state for acreage owned by one man in one contiguous piece. TWINS TO DIVORCE TWINS. Brothers Whose Lives Seem to Run in Parallel Lines. Kansas City—Miles J. Farris and Jiles M. Farris, born 32 years ago, on coming of age made twin sisters their wives. Their lives which were parallel, did not diverge much when they went into business, for one became a barber and the other a butcher—not such a great difference after all, as Jiles expressed it recently. Time went on, and to the families had come a little Jiles M. and as well a little Miles J. But with neither, it seemed, domestile harmony at the fire-side prevailed, for one day a petition for divorce was filed by Jiles M. against Martha A. Farris, and on the following morning an attorney appeared at the county court house with a petition for a divorce for Miles J. Farris from his wife, Attle Farris. Both petitions set forth desertion as the cause for seeking legal seperation and both charges show jealousy on the part of the wives, which, it is alleged, made life intolerable for the husbands. Both women are in Louisiana, Mo. KINDNESS BROUGHT A FORTUNE. Good Samaritan Receives One-Fifth of Rich Man's Estate. Denver, Colo.—Because he befriended Dr. Albert B. Cummings, of Pittsburgh, Pa., many years ago, W. P. Harris, of Denver, has received $13,500. In 1899 Harris was employed in a hotel at Cresson, Pa., where Dr. Cummings, a guest of the hotel, was taken ill one night, and Harris, an absolute stranger, attended him until he recovered. They met but once afterward, at a dinner table. Harris recently received a letter from the lawyer of Dr. Cummings, stating that the physician had died and in his will bequeathed young Harris his entire estate, valued at between $50,000 and $75,000. Later relatives contested the will, and a short time ago a compromise was effected by which Harris accepted $13,500. Harris is at present salesman for a biscuit company. Graphophones as Soul Savers. Cleveland, O.—Graphophones will be used by the local Salvation Army for the purpose of saving souls. The plan will be put in practice during the coming harvest festival. Big graphophones will be installed at the doors of the headquarters, and the attention of passers-by attracted by sermons and sacred songs turned out on the machines. Each graphophone will have a guard and a contribution box. THE RIVER Several times it has been rumored that the water-power of the magnificent Rhine Falls at Neuhausen, in Switzerland (near Schaffhausen), are to be utilized for electric purposes, and that the cataract, which is the largest in Europe, is being spilled. Up to the present, however, the falls have undergone no change and it would indeed be a matter for regret if this noble creation of nature were to become a victim to the modern materialistic spirit of industry. A HOOSIER MONOPOLY TWO TOWNS WHERE ROCK WOOL 18 MANFACTURED. Yorktown and Alexandria Favored by Nature in Location of Mineral Deposits—Product Supplanting Asbestos. Alexandria, Ind.-Two cities in Indiana have been singularly favored by nature in the placing of mineral deposits, giving them an absolute monopoly of the manufacture of rock wool and its other products, the cities being Yorktown and Alexandria, where comparatively large areas, covering a mile square in the aggregate, are underlaid with a peculiar kind of stone, largely composed of natural glass, which when fused and blown from a blast furnace produces a perfect imitation in appearance of cotton, but absolutely non-combustible and a perfect insulator from heat, cold and electricity. It is rapidly supplanting asbestos and is useful in many more ways than that product, whose mines in Canada and Italy are rapidly being exhausted, no new deposits of asbestos stone having been discovered since 1850. The Alexandria plant recently shipped 12 car loads to the Philippine islands for use in the cold storage plant the government built there, while its use, like asbestos, extends to the manufacture of fireproof theater curtains, clothing for firemen, acid workers, lampwicks, storkers' gloves, etc. It is called by scientists both fibrous and crystalline, and is designated as a mineralogical vegetable. Charlemagne is credited with the first public uses of it, when he made a tablecloth which he cleaned by throwing into the fire, but its real application to commercial purposes date back only 50 years. Thirteen years ago the deposits at Alexandria and Yorktown were discovered 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 quarries, covering 50 acres at Alexandria, has been found of the exact quality required a new company has been launched at Windfall, Ind, to build a plant, the second at Alexandria, and casage extensively in the manufacture of this old and useful product of nature's laboratory. The company is headed by Senator Mock, of Tipton, the promoting stockholders being Every A. Mock, Montgomery McKay, Benjamin F. F. Loge, Wilbur McLey, John M. Summers, L. D. Summers and Jefferson R. Hilldrup, all prominent Tipton county business men. The company is capitalized at $75,000, and the new plant is to be built at Alexandria. It is significant that the two factories in the United States alone which are running and which have the only crude material from which this rock wool can be made are prosperous, and are always behind their orders. Farm Product Sale Is Vast. Washington.—The department of agriculture in a report on the trade with noncontiguous possessions in farm and forest products says that the value of exports of domestic farm products to foreign countries, including the Phillipine islands, in 1905 was $26,904,777. With the Phillipine trade eliminated the value of the domestic exports to foreign countries amounted to $25,746,927. The shipments of farm products from the United States to the noncontiguous possessions, including exports to the Phillipine islands, were $14,700,00) or-1.5 per cent. of the value just given for domestic exports to foreign countries, excluding the Phillipines. Laborer Has Huge Sunflower. Berlin.—The largest sunflower on earth has been discovered by the Hamburger Nachrichten in the cottage garden of a laborer. It is at Almshorn, in Schleswig-Holstein. Many people have visited the place to view the flowers. The stem of the plant is over ten feet, high and still growing. The heart of the flower is three feet across. Horticulturists are investigating in order to discover the secret of the abnormal growth. ```markdown ``` TRYING NEW "SMOKELESS COAL." Pittsburg Official Experimenting So as to Abclish Nuisance. Pittsburg.—In the effort to further the movement for the abolition of the smoke nuisance, Director of Public Works J. W. Clark is experimenting with "smokeless coal" and is hopeful of getting satisfactory results which will lead to its general adoption for the production of steam. No preference is to be given to any special brand of smokeless fuel, but during the past few days a number of tests have been made under his production of an article mined in the central part of the state. The boilers of the Park building, the Annex hotel and the Arbuckle building were employed for this purpose and the results have been highly satisfactory. Mr. Clark says but little smoke is produced and believes it will be possible to avoid even that little with care. The coal is described by Mr. Clark as dull in appearance and so soft that it crumbles easily in the hand. At the same time it produces an intense heat and is highly appropriate as a boiler fuel. It is said that a chemically treated coal is also to be tested, and that the results of all the tests will be made known to owners of boilers so that they may choose among those offered, with the experience of the city to guide them. The early adoption of an antismoke ordinance is regarded as a foregone conclusion, so that all the information which can be obtained in this manner will be of great importance to users of fuel. FILES RECORD 160 YEARS OLD. Chicago Man Clears Title to Lands in Massachusetts. Cambridge, Mass.—A document has been filed at the probate court here, that was just 160 years late in reaching its destination. Edward A. Hill, of Chicago, handed the paper to the registrar of probate. It is yellow with age, yet in a fair enough state of preservation to be easily read. It is the report of the commissioners appointed by Samuel Darforth, judge of the probate court for the county of Middlesex, to arrange the division of the estate of Abraham Hill, of Cambridge. The commissioners wrote out their report, and it is dated November 21, 1716. This paper, among a lot of others, was handed through succeeding generations until it finally passed into the hands of Mr. Hill. The property owned by Abraham Hill at that time embraced a great deal of land in Arlington and Belmont. The record turned over by Mr. Hill will have no effect upon the titles of property in either town except to greatly simplify matters and to clear titles. HEAVIEST TWIN TEACHERS. Mount Joy (Pa.) Also Has Oldest Schoolma's in State. Mount Joy, Pa.-Of the more than 500 schoolma'ams in Lancaster county none are more widely known and more popular than Mame and Loulsa Kuhn, twin sisters, of Mount Joy. They were born in Mount Joy 53 years ago, and are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Kuhn. Both started as pupils in the Mount Joy public schools on the same day and sat together during their school years. They were graduated together and both began teaching school at the same time, in the same building in which they received their education. For 36 years they have been teaching, and it is said that the grandchildren of some of their first, scholars are now among their pupils. Their aggregate combined weight is 501 pounds, and it is said they balance each other in weight within a few pounds. It is almost needless to say that they are able to handle successfully all the bad boys. · Roads' Are Fined Big Sum.

Over 200 of the latter cases were filed and in most of them the railroads went into court and coulled judgment. IF PLACE To Board ADVERTISE W HOLME'S Hotel 333 Vs. Ave., S. W.

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 arias and selections from famous operas. Hall got the idea for the barrel 'cello one day when he heard the hollow sound made by some small boys 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. 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 Routt county, near Steamboat Springs, which he is having put in shape before presenting it to Gay. Mr. Moffat bought the rach 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.

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 liked the fail so well that he did not try to get a job. Parls Widows Remarry Soon. Paris Widows Remain Soon. Paris.-Statistics published here show that the widows of Paris marry again more readily than the widowers.

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 nays 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."

He has been equally as greedy to control delegates from Alabama and other Southern States as all Republican presidential candidates. = Why should there be any color line in politics? Why should therq -be different political parties? The Bee believes that the time is -fast ap- proaching when alt party lines will be wiped out of existence and men will be supported on their merits. The Bee favors a division of the colored vote as the best solution of this alleged political race ques- tion. The white Republicans in the North, that is, a few of them, are as much opposed to the colored _ voter as the Democzats are in the South. The colored man has been taught, by promises, since his emancipation, to love the Republi- can party and to hate the, Demo- _ cratic party. Does i not seem very strange that during slavery the master and slave could live in peace and harmony and that the slave al- ways reccived protection from his master? «And does it not seem stranger yet that. the slave. could be left alone with his young mis- tresses and never thought of being charged with rape or attempted rape, or assault or attempted as- sault? But, the moment he is emancipated and accumulates prop- erty, gets an education and becomes a good citizen that-he becomes, in the eyes of this same master, a dangerous being? It would be pre- sumed that he possessed brutish in- stincts while he was a slave and a refined and polished citizen after his freedom. The brutish instincts seemed to have left him after his emancipation. The white man _ South says not. He claims that the colored man is more vicious and is inclined to crave for white wom- en. How can this be, when he does not come in contact with white women? If any crime is attempted by a colored man, why -siiould the entire colored race be hefd respon- sible? Certainly there are as many vicious white brutes in the South as there are colored, and more so. The great number of bastards in the South establishes the conten- tion of The Bee. Conditions in the South show that white men are constantly after colored women,and it is a hard matter for a decent col- oréd girl to protect her honor from the persistent pleas of white men. If the colored man is as vicious in the South as it is claimed, let the’ authorities encourage voluntary mi- gration or emigration from the South to the West or to somé other country. Let Ben. Tillman advo- cate a voluntary migration from his State, an’ 2 hor: rary colored people will remain. The colored man is as harmless 2s a lamb, so far as doing injury to white women is concerned. If a white or col- ored woman is assaulted or an at- [tempt is made to assault her, the offender is some brute. The Bec believps in punishing, any man, white or black, who deliberately as- saults a woman. .It is not belieevd that the better clement of white people South will do any harm tc the colored people. The dangerou: <la8s is the common and uneducat: ed or that class who would. like tc be something and cannot. At any rate, let the colored man’ divide, and see ii conditions will not bec changed. oe -OUR SCHOOLS fe ee ee eaters Sie | good morals ih our schools. The be has always contended that the colored schools, under the superin- tendency of Mr. George F.T.Ccok, Were conducted upon a high moral and educational basis. Mr. Cook was an honest, moral and upright man. and there has never been a time under his administration that a charge of uniafrness or oppres- sion could be laid at his door. The colored schools have never been in such a condition as they are today. ts is caused because Professor Montgomery was not given proper support. His hands hayg been tied and teahers have been unruly and disobedient, Tt is now claimed that ithe present Board of Education is unfair and domineering. This is ‘not true. The colored schools.have no better friend than Captain Jas. F. Oyster, who seems to be the leading spirit on the Board. Cap- tain Oyster is endeavoring to es- tablish such reforms that improve existing conditions. Our High School especially is in need of re- organization. It is beljeved that matured,. masried women should be allowed to teach in the lower grades of our schools, because they have a better conception of children and how they should be taught than the young woman who graduates from the Normal School, In our High School young girls are of such an age that matured teachers should be over them, and not young men. If a man is placed in our High School he should be married, We stated this in our last issue. Young ladies in our High School should have a watchful eye over them because their tender ages de- icand it. It7is believed that the Superintendent will give us such schools that will command the re- spect and admiration of the people. No one will say that Professor Montgomery has not made a good superintendent, but when these ;teachers who refuse to obey him it tis nothing more .to do than to re- {move them. The Bee does regret the removal of Professor Clarke, because he was a help to a teacher, and a young man of high moral character. His mistake was not to accept the position offered him by Superintendent Chancellor,and then he would have had an opportunity to set himself right. He took the advice of people who did not know the situation and who did not have the welfare of the schools at heart. Now, who is it that is making the disturbance? It is a class of people who were brought here without the consent of the taxpayers, and who were failures at their own homes. The citizens, of Washington are perfectly satisfied to have reforms made in their schools, if their con- dition will be improved. If it is true that Professor Montgomery is to be transferred, The Bee would like to see Prof, 'H. M. Brown suc- cced hii. Professor Brown is 2 n tive Washingtonion and a man of high intellectual attainments. The Bee has no objections to Pro- fessor Du Bois or Justice Robert H, Terrell. Whoever the man may be, it is hoped that he will be ac- rentahia tn the nenniea’ THE BLACK MAN On the Isth of this month. Sen- ato? J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, de- livered a speech in Chattanooga, Tenn.. at the opening session of the Fourtiy Annual Reunion of the Tecicty of the Army of the Cum- bderland. There were 3,000 people there, the report states, who enthu- siastically endorsed every word he said. Senator Foraker, as he al- ways does, spoke in glowing ter of the colored citizen: in politics, in war, and in peace. He said some things that should be read by Pres- ident Roosevelt which we repro- dace in this issue of The Bee. Sen- ator Foraker gives the Republican party"a reminder, and gives a good lesson to Democrats as well. For some reason’ Fate is always against a good man for President. Such ‘men as Secretary Shaw, Foraker, and no doubt one or two others. are too honest to play the-Ameri- can people, or the American people are too easily fooled by spectacular demonstrations. This is a manly defense of the colored. man, and we hope tliat every paper in this country will reprodyce it. JHE PRESIDENT. Very soon after the President assum: ed office, we mean after the death o! [the’ late President McKinley, he com: nutted an act that endeared the entire colored rage to him with but one excep: tion, we may say. It was the invitatior to Mr. Booker T. Washington to dine at the Executive Mansion. We said then as all maintain now, that there was noth- ing in that reception to Mr. Washingtén The entire colored race almost to a mar applauded him, but The Bée <aid ther as it says now, that it was a spectaculaz demonstration to hoodwink the colored vote. The act was:successful. The col- ored citizens declared that he was as great and as noble as Lincoln. The Bee said then as it says now, Lincoln was not great and President Roosevelt had done nothing to endear the colored man to him. The next spectacular demonstra- tion was the so-called door of hope. He played that for all it was worth. It was known as the door of hope, or give the negro an opportunity. ‘Every’ opportun- ity that has*presented itself to the color- ed man has been turned in artother di- rection, Tite colored man hay been used to the advantage of party schen.es. The President always boaste-of maki. g i « appointments of colored men thin rhe late President McKirley, ard in the face of vis Ceclaration the colerei ram wor'd hotzr himself t'red whenever his nanre was called, When The Bee de- clar.1 that there wes nothing in these spec rcitlar demonstrations the cry was to repudiate the editor of The Bee, or in nalder terms, crucify him as the Jews erscSed Ghrist. “Buz as the Jews tived to sve the predictions of Christ come to pass, so have the colored men hyd to see themselves betrayed and turned over to their enemies in the South” The country is in a deplorable condition The colored man js today in z worse state than before the war. History is repeating itself and all that is left for the colored man to do is to think and act for lnumself. The colored voter a the next election should teach the Re- publican party a lesson. He should ne longer he the drawer of water and hewer of wood. He should not be the catspaw for the politicians We are told-to be quict and wait for the return of our po- litical rights. The political rights of rhe colored man will never return as long as Mr. Roosevelt is president. Such men as Bryan, Hearst, Foraket or Shaw in the White House will render unto Cac-ar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are Gods. The eye+ of the colored Americans should be ‘pened ‘They have been closed long encegh. Let us throw away this sent. me:.tality and act as true Americans He aust awake from his sleep aid cast oft the-clains that bind him. He can no ‘onger be the willing slave for selfish politicians. The time for him to act 1s now. Will he embrace the opportunity: President Roosevelt is not a friend 0} the colored American and he should know it and act accordingly, AGITATORS. The Bee believes in agitation, but it doesn’t believe in such agitation that is going on now. If something were to be accomplished and the purpose was a ‘audable one, The Bee would join in the chorus. Some agitators are dangerous and, do the cause more harm than good. ‘nis so-called school agitation gives hot- air politcians an Opportunity to gite vent to their pent up indignation. There is nothing in it. The cause is a hopeless one and the objects of the agitators are interlopers who have added nothing to the advancement of our community, . _ Send in your name and help to get the 10,00 subscribers by December 31. | Wanted, 10,000 subscribers by Decem- ber 31, The Bee is the greatest defender of che race in the United States, Subscribers are requested to pay up at HE WAS REMOVED. ‘From the Cleveland Gazette. ee ee ee The Washington (D.

Foraker ut / Oli orator of the day Senator Foraker reviewed the great struggles of the civil war and some of the recults growing out of that conflict. and con- tinued: i “It seems incredible that the governr ment that is all-powerful to accomplish the long list of splendid achievements that have been wrought at home and abroad is yet, nevertheless, incapable of prctecting at home, on cer own soil, un- der our own flag. in the enjoyment of all his constitutional ard political righté. our humblest citizen, “It is ovr bast and has Leen for forty years, that we aboli-hed slavery and hit- 2d the regro oxt of bis degraJataion to 2 plane of political equality with all ather citizens, in the presence of our Constitution and our laws. “In the encouragement and inspira- tion thus given him, the black man has during these forty years made a great decl ¢f progress.

In every war through which the country has passed, so far as we have permitted them to do so, they have borne an honorable part. “And yet, it would seem as though this very loyalty and patriotism and progress they are making i+ today mili- tating against their happiness and their security, not alone in one section, but sverywhere throughout the whole coun- ty, North as well as South.

None of these suggestions will answer. , Some other remedy must be found, and it must be ‘one consistent with the recogtri- tion’ of his manhood and, with his just rights as a citizen of this republic. “I criticise nobody, but I earnestly ap- peal to everybody, North and South, white and black, Democrat and Repub- lican alike, to help in the great work of freeing’ us from this menacing trouble. it is important to protect Cubans in Cuba, but it even more important to Pro- tect Americans in America.

But, if such a change should be wrought, it may be that under the new constitution thus to be established and promulgated by judicial construction, there may be found a way at the same time more fully to protect the life, hberty. and po- ‘itical rights of the American citizen, as well as his propesty and commercial rights.

See en ee re ene eee - Following somewhat the optimistic line of thinking which made the late Henry W. Grady a force in the so-called New South of twenty years ago, Harry Still- well Edwards writes in the current Century of the negro’s chances in. his old environment. Says Mr. Edwards: “Perhaps I am too much of an opti- mist to be a valuable witness in the un- ending trial of the negro before the bar of public opinion by press and pulpit, but I see no unavoidable danger to the South in his presence. On the contrary, I beheve in his final, complete and peace. ful incorporation into the American sys- tem without injury to himself or to his white neighbor. Forty years ago he emerged from slavery virtually withdu! more than the clothes he wore on bis back.” The negro has developed thrift and assumed the serious responsibilities of ownership and government. Therefore continues Mr, Edwards: _ “There is hope for a race with such history, and those who talk of substitu: tion and deportation may do well tc consider where the South would find a substitute who will preserve the peace and achieve more. The negro has much to learn, but the question arises, Is it easier to teach him, put him to’ work when idle, restrain him when evil mind- ed and strip him down to an earnest, industrious worker while the leaven of —— home ,inflaence is Wes ek easier to calf im an - : different hnguaze a+. shedow of a king an° - an of hum?"

Vinita is Mr. Newsom's new home, and Attorney Jones, with three others, recently went West upon the advice and representations of Mr. Newsom; and will make their future home in the new state. The examining board of Vinita report Mr. Jones as having made the greatest percentage ever made there by any applicant. Lawyer Jones reports the outlook as fine, and as being well pleased with things in general. He is the first colored man ever admitted to practice at the Vinita bar. We wish and predict for him abundant success in his new field. To the good citizens of Vinita and the new state of Oklahoma, we commend Mr. Jones as a young man of exemplary habits, a good friend, energetic, an ideal citizen, and one worthy of their confidence and patronage. EVANGELISTIC CONVENTION. There was quite a meeting of the evangelists Monday afternoon at the Cosmopoliton Church, O street between 7th and 8th. The convention was called to order at 2.30 o'clock, with Rev. Dr. S. P. W. Drew, the president of the organization. The convention will hold daily sessions until Monday, and it is expected that before the end of the week Booker Washington will attend and make an address. Other prominent speakers will be former Senator S. G. Newsome, of North Carolina; Col. Giles B. Jackson, and Rev. W. H. Stokes. With intermissions, the session continued until a late hour last night. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. Samuel Littlejohn, who was followed by Rev. Robert H. Walker. A prayer meeting was conducted in the evening by Mrs. Julia Palmer and Rev. Dr. J. Woodward. An address of welcome was delivered by Dr. William Tindall. Delegates were enrolled and commit- THE FAMOUS Visit our new department for the ladies.

Dr. Robinson, Prof. Jesse Lawson, spoke on behalf of the bar, the press, the Methodist Church, respectively. Responses were made by Revs. Dr. W. H. Stokes, Geo. W. Drew, Rev. Wines, Jr., and others, after which the meeting was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. Attorney Scott made quite a speech that did not meet the approval of Rev. Green. He paid his respects to the administration and its lukewarmness towards the colored citizen. His address was enthusiastically indorsed by the large audience present. At the conclusion of Mr. Scott's address Rev. Drew said that President Roosevelt was the colored man's friend and indirectly criticized the speech of Mr. Scott. Rev. Wines followed and declared that no man had any right to condemn a man for his opinion. Mr. Scott is a lawyer, declared Rev. Wines and was invited to speak at this convention and he should be given credit for his opinion. He indorsed the speech of Mr. Scott. Attorney and Editor W. Calvin Chase was the last speaker and responded to the press. He said among other things that the negroes had too many psalm singers among them and the man who said that President Roosevelt was a friend to the colored people told a falsehood. The negro is a coward. This remark was loudly applauded. If he expects to be anything he must think for himself. There is only one thing the colored man has mastered and that is natural gas. He consumed everything and produced nothing. Mrs. A. V. Chase will present Culprit Fay, 'a beautiful cantata at True Reformers' Hall, 12th and U streets, N. W., Monday evening, November 5. It is one of the sweetest and prettiest cantatas that has ever been presented to the public. The participants are young ladies of great musical ability.

Duhois, awaking in the large audience the greatest enthusiasm. The orator of the occasir, J. Max Barber, editor of the Voice of the Negro, who is now an exile from Atlanta, Ga., on account of the recent race riots, delivered an address on "Dwarf Makers," and the Atlanta riots. He said among other things: "One section of our country persists in a policy of depression and oppression of the negro. The editors of the great dailies of the South, the preachers and teachers, all either openly condone lawlessness and ill treatment of the colored people or, sit in silence while the law is being trampled under foot and the negro oppressed. But dotted through the South are thousands of good honest people who love justice and fair play for the negro; yet they dare not take a stand for fairness and justice; for if they do, social ostracism will be swift and sure. "The standard of ethics of man toward man is different in the South from any country on earth. All of the energies of the leaders of thought and the shapers of public opinion in that land bend their whole energy toward the brutalizing and degradation of the negro. But out of this beclouded sky comes a light, a ray of hope for the negro. He is rising, not as a result of YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD Ladies' Suits. Ladies' Skirts. Ladies' Coats. Ladies' Waists.

And herein lies the hope of the future. In spite of all his disadvantages he is getting at the truth of life. The negro realizes as never before the dark and desimal quagmires made and set by Southern obstructionists, and is more determined than ever to realize full liberty. You cannot keep me down without staying down yourself; you cannot keep my race tied to the fetid, suffocating pool of injustice without at the same time degrading your own; the fate of either is the fate of both. If you would have good true American black men, you must give black men true American opportunities. You must change your system of brutality and murder which breeds brutality and murder in the victims of the system, if you would have law abiding black men as well as law abiding white men." Speaking of the recent Atlanta riots, Mr. Barber stated that they were but the natural outcome of conditions which obtain nearly all over the South. "For eighteen months Hoke Smith had gone up and down the state appealing to the race prejudice of the lower white; the Atlanta News, a paper owned by Frank Daniel, a member of the Governor's staff and a member of the board of police commissioners, had for months, in glaring headlines, given false reports of rape; the Atlanta Journal joined in the crusade and with bitter enmity fanned the fire of race prejudice into a flame riot and murder. "Shortly after the riots the New York World wired John Temple Graves for his views how to prevent race riots in the future. John Temple Graves sent out a statement which was read by the country. After I read the statement, I asked the New World by wire if it would permit a reply to the aspersion and lies of John Temple Graves by a colored man. They wired that they would and told me to send a reply of two hundred words at their expense. I sent the letter stating the truth about the riots. Two days later I was told by Mr. Daniel that I must leave the city or repudiate what I had done, if I had done it, and if not that, I knew who had written the letter and I would have to go before the Fulton County grand jury and make a statement. Mr. Daniel stated that he had been before the grand jury and that it was waiting for J. Max Barber. You can either do as I have hidden you or you must go to the cham gang. I left Atlanta rather than become a slave to die a slow death at the hands of a foreman of a chain gang. I am now in Chicago to stay if the colored people will support the Voice of the Negro, for which I have become an exile. "Finally, be manly men and womenly women, do all that you can to help in the great moral and social uplift. Stand up for the right; be full men; seek for the truth." DE WAOMEST SOUTH.

Brown, who for the past several months has been boasting of his worth and great business acumen, left town unceremoniously on Wednesday night last. His sudden leave was caused mainly by investigation began by Rev. J. A. Lindsay, Mr. J. W. Armstrong, and a representative of the Tribune. This man was found not to be what he claimed. He fooled a number of young ladies in promising them fatted positions, etc., and in turn was taken into the bosom of the ministry. He should be brought back and made to account for his shortcoming. 10,000 subscribers wanted by the last of December.

Will Try to Learn if Mash Should Be Moist or Dry—Hope to Increase Production of Eggs. Washington.—The department of agriculture has started a new experiment station at the federal animal quarantine station at Halethorpe, near Baltimore. The experiments are to be conducted under the supervision of Robert R. Slocum, an expert who was recently added to the staff of the bureau of animal industry for a particular line of investigation. For several years it has been a strongly contested question among poultrymen whether mash fed to bens should be dry or molst. Within the last year or two another problem has arisen with the introduction of the hopper feeding system on a commercial scale. In conducting these chicken-laying experiments a hen house will be constructed, divided into three pens, each accommodating 25 hens, with suitable yards. This house, together with incubators, brooders, etc., sufficient to raise enough pulllets to replace those used in the experiments, will comprise the immediate equipments. The different lots of fowls are to be housed exactly alike and all conditions made equal, except the methods of feeding. The fowls in pen No. 1 will receive, morning and night, a mixture of whole or cracked grains scattered in the litter, and at noon a moistened mash. Those in pen No. 2 will receive morning and night the same grain mixture fed in the litter exactly as with pen No. 1 and the same mash at noon, except that this mash will be fed dry. This will test the question of the dry and the moist mash. The fowl in pen No. 3 will be fed on precisely the same feed as those in the other pens, but will be fed from two self-feeding hoppers, one containing the grain and the other dry mash. The hopper containing the grain will be opened about four p. m. in winter and five p. m. in summer, and will be left open until the next noon. It will then be closed, and the hopper containing the mash will be opened and left so until the first hopper is again opened, late in the afternoon. In this way the hens will have feed before them all the time, and can eat as much or as little as they please. A comparison can then be made with pen No. 2, the only difference between the two pens being that pen No. 2 receives its feed at stated intervals and in amounts indicated by the appetites of the fowls, while the hens in the other pen can help themselves at all times. White Plymouth Rock fowls will be used, not because of any special preference for this variety, but for reasons of convenience. Pullets will be raised from the various pens and the test repeated twice to confirm results and note the effects of the different systems of vitality. It is hoped that by a careful study of this chicken dietary question the amount of eggs produced in this country may be materially increased, perhaps as much as five per cent, which would mean a billion more a year for the national consumption. Justice Decree Whipping in Public by Father as Penalty. Fond du Lac, Wis.—A spanking administered by his father in public court is the sentence pronounced on Guy Higgins, a 15-year-old boy, by Justice of the Peace D. F. Blewett. The boy attended a baseball game and he, with other boys, threw grass and sticks at the visiting players. After the game was over and the visiting team had boarded a street car he threw a stone through the window of the car at one of the men. Mayor T. L. Doyle and his little daughter were on the car and the missile just missed them and struck one of the players on the arm, cutting it. The mayor, jumped off and arrested him. The mayor appeared against the boy on a charge of disorderly conduct. Justice Blewett found him guilty, but said he would suspend sentence if the boy's father would administer a good, old-fashioned spanking. The boy thought he would earn money enough to pay his fine, but his parents thought differently. CANNOT EXTINGUISH FIRE. Mine Has Been Burning for Two Weeks—Loss Heavy. Bismarck, N. D.-The Wilton coal mine, the largest in the state, is on fire, and all mining work has been suspended in an effort to extinguish the flames. The mine has been burning for the past two weeks, but the fact has been kept secret until Saturday night, when five miners were nearly suffocated to death while working in the burning passage. They were rescued with great risk by comrades, and doctors worked over them for a long time before they were resuscitated. The fire has engendered considerable gas, and smoke fills nearly all the mine passages, making fire fighting not only difficult, but dangerous. A hole is now being sunk from the surface down 70 feet to where the fire is raging, with an idea of drawing off the gas and permitting the burning chamber to be sealed. He Is "Abdul the Damned," the "Sick Man" of Turkey. Constantinople—In the Turkish budget for the coming year several million dollars are set aside to provide for the personal security of the sultan, Abdul Hamid. It is well-known to people who have traveled in Turkey that the sultan has at his personal service a regular army of spies who are said to number 43,000. Three thousand of these are employed near the sultan's palace, while several thousand more are scattered through the capital, some of them making a special object of their espionage the foreign ambassades. All over the Turkish empire are the sultan's spies, scattered so that even high officials do not escape their vigilance. Besides, the bodyguard of the Turkish sovereign, which numbers 35,000 men, is like a living wall which THE SULTAN OF TURKEY. (Forty-Three Thousand Spies Are Employed to Guard Him.) surrounds the sultan in moments of danger. These soldiers are paid between $40 and $100 a month. The sultan leads a very regular life. He rises at five or six every morning, and after a walk in the spacious gardens of his palace he is ready for breakfast, which he generally eats all alone. Osman Effendi, his special secretary, tastes all food before the sultan partakes of it, and he is the only one allowed to be present at the morning meal of the Turkish sovereign. After breakfast the sultan spends an hour or two in his libraries, of which he possesses four, well stocked with books and manuscripts in all sorts of languages, among which are thousands of works of great value which have never seen the light of publicity. PRIEST A NOTED COMPC3ER. Produced Many Celebrated Oratorios That Have Brought Fame. New York.—Rev. Father Hartmann von an der Lan-Hochbrunn, a member of the Franciscan Order of Friars, who is a celebrated composer of oratorios, and who has the distinction of being the third musician selected as a member of the Italian Academy of immortals and the fourth German admitted to membership, is in this country. Father Hartmann is a native of Salurn, Tyrol, and comes of a German family which was admitted to the nobility by King Leopold I., in 1694. If 3 (A Member of the Italian Academy of Immortals.) he were not a priest he would bear the title of count, to which he is entitled by virtue of his ancestry. As a musician he is regarded as among the most talented of the European composers, and his oratorios "St Peter," dedicated to Cardinal Parochi; "St. Francis of Assisi," dedicated to the emperor of Austria; "The Last Supper" and "The Death of Christ," dedicated to the German emperor, rank among standard musical productions. He was educated in the Conservatory of Music of Posen, under Busch, Zipperle, Deluggl and Auzoletti. After becoming a friar his work as an organist attracted the attention of Peter Singer, a celebrated European musician, who at once marked him out for promotion. In 1893 Father Hartmann became the organist of the Catholic church in Jerusalem, and was director of the Philharmonika there. Called to Rome in 1895, Father Hartmann became organist of the Church Ara Coell, and two years later was appointed a director of the Conservatory of Music of St. Chiara in Rome. Because of his musical triumphs Father Hartmann was decroated by the pope with the Golden Cross, first class, Ecclesia et Pontifice. The emperor of Austria has conferred upon him the Golden Medal of Merit and he is also a Knight of Austria. He has also the decoration of the Franz Joseph order, founded in 1848. GUARDED JEFF DAVIS SOLDIER WHO WATCHED OVER CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT. Was on Duty at Fortress Monroe When Davis Was a Prisoner There—He Served Thirty Years in the Regular Army. St. Louis.—S. A. Trask, who recently resigned as assistant marshal of Webster Groves, Mo., and who served many years in the United States regular army, was at one time a guard over Jefferson Davis, the leader of the confedgracy, while the latter was a prisoner at Fortress Monroe, Va., soon after the close of the civil war. For 35 years, he has been a wearer of the blue, having served for 30 years in the regular army and for two years and six months served as conductor on the Suburban railway in this city. He has occupied the position he lately resigned for a period of two years and four months. He removed to St. Louis on his retirement from the army, and has lived here up to the date of his appointment as assistant marshal of Webster Groves, when he moved, with his family, to that place. Trask participated in many of the most important campaigns and engagements against the hostile tribes of Indians in the west, notably the great winter campaign in the Big Horn country, under Gen. George Crook, and which terminated with the battle of Red Rock Canyon, on the north fork of the Powder River November 25, 1876. In this battle there were engaged from 3,000 to 5,000 Sloux and Cheyennes under White Antelope, and 13,000 cavalry under Col. R. S. MacKenzie. The fight resulted in breaking the spirit of the red men, who had slaughtered Gen. Custer and his brave band. Trask served under Gen. Crook in Arizona during the campaign of 1872 and 1873, when six months' of scouting and skirmishing subdued the Tonto Apaches. His troop, under command of Capt. George Price, was the first that ever succeeded in marching through the Tonto basin, which for ages was the stronghold of the Tontos. He was at Fort Grant, Ariz. when the Tonto chief surrendered to Gen. Crook. He was also present at Fort Larrime, Wyo., when the great Chief Red Cloud made his last treaty with the government, and was selected as orderly to the Indian commissioner when 3,000 feathered and painted braves, the pickled men of the Stoux Nation, came to the fort to listen to the speeches of their chiefs and the commissioner in regard to that treaty. Scouttaz, escorting and campaigning took up the first 15 years service of Mr Trask, and he can relate many lair-raising incidents in which he participated. Mr. Trask served 15 years as post quartermaster sargent. He was appointed from regimental quartermaster sergeant, and was among the first to fill that important position He was on duty at Fort Bowle, Artz, when the noted Chief Geo.ino murrendered. He took an important part in that campaign by supplying and issuing stories to the troops on the field. He was on duty at Fort Abraham Lincoln, N. D. In 1857, and under Lieut. A. C. Sharp, wound up the business of that post after it had been ordered abandoned. He lowered the last flag that floated over that historic post, and has it as a sacred memento. He was then sent to Fort Bennett, S. D., where he took a similar part in the abandonment of that post, and with his family went through some thrilling experiences with the treacherous Mission River and Dakota blizzards. For his faithful services he was ordered to duty at West Point, where he served for two years and a half in charge of the quartermaster stores. He can relate many interesting anecdotes of that famous military school. At his own request, he was then ordered to report for duty at Fort Meade, S. D., at that time one of the most important points in the northwest. There he served for five years, and for his faithful service during that time received special mention from the inspector general. At the close of hostilities with Spain Mr. Trask, having reached the period of 30 years' service, and having a family of interesting children, applied for his retirement from active service. His request was granted, and with his wife and children Mr. Trask came to St. Louis to take up his residence. Though 58 years old, he is still hale and hearty, and looks as rugged and active as a young soldier. Forgot to Invite the Guests. Fifty years ago or more there resided in Northboro, Mass., a worthy couple known as Capt. and Mrs. Lyon. Being of hospitable natures, they decided to entertain some of their friends at a tea party. They made out a list of guests, arranged the menu, settled on the time, etc. The intervening days were busy ones for Mrs. Lyon. At last the hour approached and the good couple awaited their guests. The hour came and went, but no guests. Mrs. Lyon turned to her husband and said: "When you invited our friends, didn't you plainly state the hour!" "Why." said the captain, "I didn't invite any one, for I thought you would do that." STATUE WANTED TO TRAVEL. Strange Appeal of a Rome Shopkeeper Loosens Iowa Woman's Purse. Davenport, Ia — A Davenport woman an brought home from Europe recently a letter which she considers one of the most interesting souvenirs of her trip. It came to her the day after her visit to a curio shop in Rome, where the proprietor wanted $60 for a statuette of David in Carrara marble after Michael Angelo. She offered $10, which the proprietor could not think of accepting, but he asked her name and hotel and next morning she received the following letter: "Roma, if 8th March—Dear Madam: To-night I have made a dream. I saw David alive! he was very angry with me. He asked me, 'Why don't you let me go to America? The beautiful lady will take care of me. I want to see the new world! I won't stay in Rome any longer! I want to travel as a tourist." "I could not say anything against and have decided to deliver it at the price of 46 dollars. Now the difference between your offer and mine it is only 6 dollars, and hope you won't have any objection to buy it." "This morning entering my store David had a bal look!!" He looked as if he would throw his stone to me instead of throwing it to Golla!! I was frightened! Good lady, buy it! otherwise David will die of a broken heart and I—will go after him. "Best wishes to the gentleman and the gentle Signorina who was with you yesterday, and hoping to see you again, I am much obliged for your kindness. Yours truly. 'C. MANETTI. Sculptor.' It is almost needless to say that the lady surrendered at this appeal and that David enjoyed his trip to America. BABE WEARS FAMOUS DRESS. Infant Has Frock Once Worn by William Henry Harrison. Emporia, Kan.—Marlanna, the 16-months-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Horace Whittlesey of Emporia, is the owner of a dress worn by William Henry Harrison, once president of the United States, when he was a baby in old Virginia. William Henry Harrison was born in 1773. Miss Ellen Windsor, who was "Tipppeanoo" Harrison's nurse, was given the dress by the mother of the ex-president. She, in turn, gave it to her friend, Mrs. Chapln, for her baby to wear. Years afterward Mrs. Chapin passed it on to her friend, Mr. J. C. Whittlesey, and Horace Whittlesey was the next baby to wear the little garment. Mrs. Horace Whittlesey dressed little Marianna in the famous frock the other day, but she didn't allow her to make mud pies while she had it on—in fact, she wore it only half an hour, and the dress was then put carefully away. The pretty little garment is made with low neck and short sleeves, and is one piece from neck to hem. It is shirred at the top, the hem finished in genuine Mount Mellick embroidery, and French knots are scattered over the dress. The material is the finest linen. AMERICA LEADS IN MOTORS. French Manufacturers Outstripped in the Race Already. Parls.—"Just as American agricultural machines do practically all the work in the fields throughout Europe, so it will certainly be in a couple of years with American automobiles on all the roads in Europe. France pointed out the automobile way, America will reap all the profit by walking in it." So laments the trade journal of the French motor car makers. It asserts that careful scrutiny of the machines touring the great auto routes in Europe this summer proves that the United States is rapidly making for supremacy in the construction of automobiles; a supremacy which France occupied only a year or two ago and from which it seemed she never was to be dethroned. Foreign travelers now bring over their own machines and these are often American, even while their owners are not. The writer says, almost tearfully, that most of the safet, strongest and most nearly silent motor cars he met in various countries were American made. Germany and Italy make most of the scorchers and racers. Finda Hand Imbedded in Rock. Pierre, S. D.—Ralph Bagby, a farm boy living near Okoboji. Sully county, while working in the Fox Ridge country near Moreau river, found a large bowler which was set thickly with fossil specimens of fish, turtles and lower orders of life. The specimens are said by those who have examined them to have been of the mesozoic age. Near the center of the bowler a perfectly formed human hand was embedded in the rock. On the wrist was a circlet of metal, supposed to be of copper. Bagby carefully broke out the specimen, leaving about 25 pounds of the rock attached, and brought it to his home. Rellable parties who have seen the specimen say it is about the size of a human hand lying palm up and of perfect formation. A Revision. "After all," said the dyspeptic philosopher, "what a man is depends largely on what a man eats and how he digests it. The cook is the most responsible factor in our civilization." "Quite true," answered Miss Cayenne. "The old song should be changed from 'Hall to the Chief,' to 'Hall to the Chef.'" .TIPS COTTON CROP A WOMAN EXPERT WHO HAS AN ENVIABLE RECORD. Is a Product of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington—She is Now Connected with New York Cotton Market. New York—Wall street has another 'lady statistician.' Her name is Mrs Bertha J. Burch, and her specialty is cotton. She has entered into her new field after a thorough course of training in the bureau of statistics at Washington, where she was for several years the confidential secretary and assistant of John Hyde, who, whatever else may be said of him, is to-day considered the ablest statistician the bureau ever had. Wall street at first was inclined to make light of "Jady statisticians," as it sneeringly called them. Miss Kate M. Giles labored under the handicap of sex when she first began to give out figures on the condition of the cotton crop and estimates of the size of the yield. Finally it dawned on the masculine cotton experts that they had better look to their own laurels, and since then Miss Giles has been permitted to pursue her work undisturbed. Mrs Burch in many respects is the best trained cotton statistician who has ever been connected with the New York cotton market. When she resigned from the bureau of statistics last year Secretary Wilson, said of her "She is a very able woman and probably capable of issuing as good a report as Hide himself." She became associated with the bureau of statistics about ten years ago, when Henry Robinson was its chief. She occupied a subordinate position at the time, but rapidly worked her way upward When John Hyle became chief of the bureau Mrs Burch was appointed his secretary, as she was familiar with statistical work and was an excellent stenographer. During the Hyle regime Mrs. Burch became acquainted with the methods of her superior. She learned how the reports were made up and how the replies from the different classes of correspondents were weighed. She soon learned that it was wise to add a grain C. MRS. BERTHA J. BURCH. (An Expert on the Cotton Crop of America.) of salt to the tale of damage related by some "crop killer," as well as to take with allowance the optimistic report sent in by some correspondent who undoubtedly was "short" of the market. In every department of the science of statistics she served her apprenticeship. She also became acquainted with the better classes of correspondents and learned those in whom to place reliance. Soon after the departure of Hyde for Europe a firm of New York brokers sent a representative to Washington and asked Mrs. Burch to take charge of their crop reporting. The estimate of the cotton crop made by Mrs. Burch last year stands out clearly as the best issued. While some "guesses" as to the total of the yield came somewhat nearer the mark, they were haphazard shots that sometimes make a bull's eye. Taking it state by state for the whole belt, the "lady statistician" made the best balanced estimate of the thousands that were issued. Although everybody thought the crop could not possibly exceed 10,300,000, and many placed it below 10,000,000. Mrs. Burch placed it at 10,979,000. The bureau of statistics made an estimate of 10,167,000. The actual yield is now admittedly a little more than 11,100,000. So Mrs. Burch came closer to the production than her old friends in the bureau of statistics. Tom—Did they cure that neuralgia in your face at the hospital? Dick—"They didn't, but "she" did.

He has actually taught a couple of spiders to keep the files off his head.—Judge "I heard, Jorkins, that the girl you are engaged to lead, you around by the nose." "That story." returned Jorkins, creatively, "is entirely miss-leading." Old. Map Shows Where Bark H Buried H a Wife.

Washington.—The geological survey has made public statistics on the production of coal in the United States lp 1905. From these it appears that both in quantity and value the production surpassed all previous records in this country. The output amounted to 332,919,341 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 $32,365,942, 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 $141,579,000. The total production of bituminous coal and lignite was 315,259,491 short tons, valued at $334, 577,963. 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 the production of bituminous coal and lignite was 36,599, 582 short tons. A portion of these increases in 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 nearly 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 produced in the United States during 1905, according to a forthcoming report, was $63,798,748. The corresponding value for 1904 was $58,765,715. The increase was caused by more activity in the building trades. The production of coke in the United 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. DOG JOURNEYS 500 MILES. Animal Travels from Nebraska to Old Home in Iowa. Des Molnes, Ia.—Thin and gaunt, and with no other instinct to guide him save the memory of a warm kennel, good food and an occasional caress, a little Scotch collie dog sold to a man at Valentine, Neb., by D. Weeks, of this city, returned 300 miles to its former master in Des Molnes. So wrably and weak was the dog that had it not been for a glad light of recognition that sprang into his eyes as his former 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 ascertained, but with unerring instinct he made his way over hill and prairie, through timber and across rivers, finally arriving in Des Moines, where he was given a hearty welcome, a warm kennel and a hot bowl of milk for a starter. Five weeks before a man from Valentine, Neb., saw the collie, bought him and took it back with him to Valentine. After the collie left his new home he was seen at Fremont, Neb., where some boys throw stones at him while he was stealing a meal from a back door. This was the report until he营嵌 in Des Moines. Mr. Weeks was awakened by a slight scratching at the front door. On opening it he saw a shaggy, thin, dirty little colle, and from his 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. Media, Pa.—The $6,000 verdict given pretty Miss Leonora Hill, of Chester, in her breach of promise suit against Horace Witsill, the real estate dealer, has been sustained by Judge Johnson. This suit has been pending for two years. Miss Hill was wooed by Witsill for a number of years, according to her story, and had gone so far as to purchase her wedding dress and spend her time in making articles to make their home-comfortable after the marriage. Without her knowledge Witsill married another estimable lady, and Miss Hill brought suit. She was rep, resented by one of the ablest lawyers in the county, and his unmerciful scoring of Witsill during the trial was one of the reasons for which a new trial was asked. Farewell to White Sugar. New York.—Unless the United States pure food commission changes its mind, the people of the United States hereafter will have to use granulated, and other sugars that have a distinctly yellowish tinge. The commission has decreed that no mineral blueing substance be used in bleaching sugar. Sugar chemists say they use four pounds of a mineral blueing substance to every one million pounds of sugar, for the bleaching purposes. This, the sugar chemists say, is not adulteration, but is merely purification by a thoroughly healthful process. The pure food commission can not see it in that light, and insists that the whitening process be abandoned. Hongkong Greatest Port. London. — New statistics show Hongkong to be the foremost port of the world as regards import and export tonnage, with 19,042,889 tons. Next come London with 18,639,159, and after this are placed respectively New York, Hamburg, Liverpool and Rotterdam. Old Parliament House, Dublin, Where New Irish Council May Meet. P The old Parliament House in Dublin, in which, it expected, the new Irish council, or parliament, soon to be erected, will hold its sessions, is one of the historic buildings of the old world. It stands in what is known as College Green, and is placed nearly at right angles with the west front of Dublin University. At present the structure is used as the head offices of the Bank of Ireland, but before its rooms were arranged for banking purposes the apartments of the old Parliament House were spacious and eminently fitted for the purposes for which they had been constructed. The room where the house of commons met was circular in form and about fifty-five feet in diameter. All around the commons room was a beautiful corridor, giving access to committee rooms, cloakrooms, etc. The chamber in which the house of lords met was 40 feet long by 32 feet wide. At one end was a circular niche for the throne of the English viceroy, over which was a canopy of rich crimson velvet. Artistic decorations marked both apartments, with beautiful Corinthian pillars and tapestry pictures. REAL ENOCH ARDEN SOUTH DAKOTA MAN GREW WEALTHY IN ALASKA. Came Home After 14 Years, Found Wife Married to Another Man, but His Children Welcome Him. Mitchell, S. D.—The Klondike country has furnished its share of romantic stories of separated families and the return of wealthy individuals who have been grub staked and returned home with wealth untold, but there is more to the story of Judson E. Lathrop than the mere returning with gold galore, for he finds that his wife is divorced and that his mother and sister have passed away. For 14 years Lathrop had not been heard from by his relatives, and it was genetically believed he was dead. Fourteen years ago Mr. Lathrop was traveling on the road for a milling company, but very little of his money went for the comforts of his family; in fact, he did very little to support them, and they were left more or less to their own devices. This was due to the fact that his love for drink took what belonged rightfully to his wife and children. Starting out on one of his trips, he left home 14 years ago and remained away until the present, not even writing home or giving any clew to his whercabouts. Two weeks ago he returned to his home at Appleton and informed his son Alfred, who is employed in a railroad office at Milwaukee, of his desire to renew his standing with his family. His son notified him of his acceptance after writing to his sisters, Misses Hazel and Bernice Lathrop, of this city. The meeting occurred at Summit, S. D., where Mr. Lathrop has a brother teaching school. The Misses Lathrop returned to their home here to-day and gave the incidents of their father's absence. Mr. Lathrop started for the Kloe like with $50 in cash, and on reaching Seattle he was without funds, but was taken through by a party of friends who were making the trip together. On reaching the gold fields the party went 3,000 miles into the interior and started their operations. At the end of five years Mr. Lathrop had amassed $20,000, and with that he started back home. On reaching Ketchikan he was taken ill with the scurvy, and for one year he lay in the hospital, and when he came out he said he did not have a dollar left of his small fortune. There was nothing for him to do but to make the start all over again, and he met with better results. He secured a number of miles that were profitable and he sold out a portion of them for $500,000, retaining about 20, which he still owns, besides owning a bank at Ketchikan. Two years ago, prompted by the love that he still bore his family, he decided to return to his old home. He reached Seattle and there learned that his wife had secured a divorce and had remarried. Without more information, Mr. Lathrop turned his steps to the Klondike once more. After two years his wealth increased to a larger sum and again the longing came over him to see his relatives, and, two weeks ago, he reached his former home at Appleton. After the meeting with his children he took them to Appleton, which visit, however, was saddened by the death of his mother and his sister. He brought home golden gifts for them, and was a saddened man to find that they were not there to receive them. He has made many gifts to his home town, besides expending a large sum a decorating the graves of his mother The first stone of the building was laid on Feb. 3, 1728, and it was completed in 1739. The independence of the Irish parliament was declared in 1782, but this was nullified by the act of union, which was adopted in 1800, and a few months later the historic structure was sold for £40,000. The expense of making arrangements for the meetings of the new Irish council would be inconsiderable. This body as intimated, will consist of 103 members, the number of Irish members in the British house of commons with the addition of forty-eight councillors directly elected for larger areas having a taxable value of more than $100. In the schedule, as mapped out arrangement is made to have the chief secretary for Ireland ex-officile chairman of the Irish council, and Irish representation at Westminster will remain as at present. The old Parliament House stands on the spot formerly occupied by the building known as Chichester House, where the first parliament convened in Ireland after the restoration assembled on May 8, 1661, and where the first parliament convened in Ireland after the wars of the revolution in 1692. and sister. Mr. Lathrop is now a thoroughly reformed man. At Seattle and in Alaska he has given large sums of money to aid in church work. In talking with his daughters about his former drinking he urged them never to marry a man who had the slightest desire for drink, as he insisted it would grow upon him. Mr. Lathrop will settle an annuity on his children to provide for them as long as they live, the details of which will be settled this week. Three years after Mr. Lathrop went away his wife secured a divorce on the ground of desertion, and at that time moved out to Ashton, S. D., and made her home with relatives. Nine years ago she was married to L. W. Seaman, of this city, a wealthy ranch and stock owner, who owns a handsome residence near the business district. The two daughters will continue to make their residence with him. Both are accomplished young ladies, Miss Hazel being an exceptionally fine musician, both in voice and instrumental. Mr. Lathrop expressed himself to his daughters as being satisfied with his lot and does not blame any member of his family for all that has taken place. As soon as he finishes his business in the country, which is for the purpose of buying an immense quantity of machinery for his mining plants, he will return to the Klondike country, there to pick up the thread of life. TO BREAK OIL TRUST. Secretary Wilson, Will Try to Do It with Potatoes: Washington—Secretary Wilson is taking the first steps toward the establishment of a laboratory for the testing of apparatus for the use of denatured alcohol. He is establishing it on the assumption that it is his duty to assist in the discovery of burners that will consume that kind of fuel and do it in such a way that there will be a permanent market for the denatured product. The secretary is a firm believer in the theory that an American farmer in a few years will become a rival of the Standard Oil company in the markets of the world. The apparatus for the burning of alcohol will be tested in a scientific manner, with but little cost to the inventors. There is big demand for burners that will bring out all the heat units contained in alcohol. The experiments made in Europe have not resulted in the most efficient burners imaginable. Secretary Wilson believes that American inventors will be able to solve the problem of how to burn alcohol in a way that will make it a competitor with oil, but the inventors will need encouragement and he is getting ready to give it. Potatoes are the vegetable from which the secretary expects the farmers to make the alcohol that is to drive farm machinery, light the houses of people not living near gas and electric light plants, and furnish the fuel that will be cheaper than gas or coal. There is a variety that is not edible that is said to be rich in the materials that will make alcohol, and with that the department will also conduct experiments. The denatured alcohol law goes into effect on Jan. 1 and the treasury department is making regulations for the new industry. $10,000 for a Book of R London.—An American biblophile has secured for $10,000 a volume of poems of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, including Shakespeare's "The Passionate Pilgrim." It is believed that only one other copy is in existence—that in the Boulelan library at Oxford. AMERICAN "NOBILITY" WILL SOON BE CATALOGUED BY A BRITISH EXPERT. Son of Compiler of "Burke's Peerage" Finds That Real Name of Our President Is "Van Roosevelt." London.—"Prominent Families of the United States of America," is the title of a book soon to be published by Arthur Meredith Burke, son of the late Sir 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 to appear in the book, the title page of which will bear the coat of arms of Washington. One of the specimen pages is devoted in the history of the Roosevelt family, and its coat of arms. The earliest recorded ancestor of the president, Claes Nautilus van Roosevelt, emigrated from Zealand in Holland to the New Netherlands in 1649. The progeny of this man is shown to have figured prominently in the military and civil history of New York, culminating in the particularly strenuous and brilliant career of Theodore. The facts for the Roosevelt history were furnished to Mr. Burke by Mrs. Roosevelt after considerable correspondence. "I cannot yet say," said Mr. Burke, "how many families will be represented in my compilation, but it will be the most complete and authoritative work on American genealogy ever attempted. It will be published in a few months, and no family will be admitted except on its merits. Leading Americans have been engaged for several years in tracing their lineage, and the results of their investigation have been submitted to me for verification. It has been an infinitely difficult and laborious task, but very fascinating. When my grandfather started "Burke's Peerage" he had complete official records to go on. I must search out the necessary facts in parish and other local records of nonconformist associations, in family papers and scattered collections of manuscripts in Great Britain, Ireland and America. "The facts show that when Englishmen and other Europeans sneer at the efforts of Americans to establish pedigrees they display not only discourtesy but ignorance. The lineages of the leading American families bring to the investigator extraordinary men and women at every turn, and prove that these families are proud and jealous of their virtues and deeds, and are careful not to marry beneath their level. The persistence of lines of distinction can be discerned right through the social history of America. "While the Americans who are tracing out and authenticating their ancestry are not actuated primarily by a desire to create an American aristocratic class, they are in reality defining what the world is bound to recognize as an American aristocracy." S AWED CELL BARS WITH YARN. Federal Prisoner Invents Odd Instrument to Effect Escape. Leavenworth, Kan.—Out of pieces of woolen yarn, unraveled from a sock and twisted together, a prisoner in the new federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., constructed an instrument which he used to saw through the top and bottom of a three-inch steel bar. That a common piece of yarn could be made to cut the strongest steel bars, tested with acids and resisting steel saws, is a discovery that not only surprise police and keepers of jails and penitentiaries, but scientists as well. It is 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 originator. The prisoner was confined in one of the isolation cells. A guard standing on a tier above 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 had been sawed through. The bottom was about half through. The prisoner readily confessed and showed the warden how he had accomplished the feat. ARMY TO ADOPT NEW BULLET. Has Long, Straight, Tapering Point and is Lighter Than the Old. Washington. The army will shortly adopt the new bullet, which was recently tested by several of the target experts at the national rifle meet at Scagirt and found to be satisfactory by them. Instead of the rounded point of the present bullet it has a long, straight, tapering point and is also about one-third lighter, weighing about 150 grains. The new bullet has a greater velocity up to 2,000 yards, a greater energy up to 1,400 yards, a flatter trajectory up to 2,000 yards and a little better accuracy up to 2,000 yards. The new bullet will require a slightly different firing chamber in the rifle, but this can be readily effected in pieces now under manufacture, and the necessary changes can be made in the pieces now in use with comparatively small expense. Japan Prohibits Tobacco. Washington.—The postal administration of Japan has advised this government that packages containing tobacco destined for any country beyond Japan are prohibited from passing over the territory of Japan even if sent by parcels post. CHURCH WOMEN PICK APPLES. Earn Money to Pay Off Debt and Help Solve Labor Problem. Louisville, Ill.—The women of the Christian church of Flora are raising money by a novel means to pay off the debt on the new $10,000 church edifice and in addition are helping to solve the labor question that is confronting the apple growers of Clay county. They were given permission to haul and sell to the evaporators the cull and windfall apples in the large orchards in the vicinity of this city and the entire feminine membership and the Sunday school children gathered apples in the Maney orchard. The women earned $15 for their day's work and will gather apples in other orchards surrounding Flora every Saturday until the apple season closes. Mrs. R. S. C. Reaugh, president of the Ladies' society of the Christian church, has the supervision of the work. Although the apple-picking season will not open until later for the Ben Davis apples estimates place the number of bushels of apples exported from the five shipping sections in Clay county at 200,000 bushels, or nearly 75,000 barrels. The five evaporators in the county are using 5,000 bushels of apples daily and are estimated to have used 150,000 bushels of apples this season. The apples are selling readily and numerous buyers are in the field. The labor situation caused by the scarcity of hands is delaying the picking. On account of strikes the wages range from $1.50 to $3 a day. Only $1.25 was paid earlier in the season. DESERTS WIFE FOR A SQUAW. Wealthy Farmer Accused by Spouse, Who Then Puts Up Cash Ball. Tacoma, Wash.—Charged with the desertion of his wife for the doubtful attraction of a Slwash squaw, William Nottingham has been bound over for trial at the next term of the superior court at Conconnully. His wife, whom he left in Adams county while he maintained a second household at Conconnully, secured his liberty by putting up $1,500 in cash. Nottingham is a wealthy rancher of eastern Washington, having a 440-acre ranch near Lind, Adams county, with many head of cattle and horses. His wife, who has sued him for divorce, estimates his fortune at more than $50,000. They were married 24 years ago in Missouri and have eight children. Nottingham has always been highly respected in Adams county and was thought to be a faithful husband and a good father. His double life began about three years ago, when he took a large band of cattle to Okanogan county to feed on the rich pasture of the Indian reservation. He leased an allotment from a squaw named Sophia San Pierre and is charged with having become enamored of her. Since then he has lived most of his time in Okanogan county and has deceived his wife, she claims, by telling her he was holding down a homestead. PRIEST WHIPS A TRAMP.. Hobo Gets an Illustration of Muscular Christianity. Indianapolis.—Rev. Francis Henry Gavisk, one of the most popular members of the Catholic priesthood in Indiana, showed the other afternoon that he 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 something to eat. He was insolent about it, but Father Gavisk 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 trump replied with a string of oaths that he wouldn't give up the money, whereupon Father Gavikis grappled with him. There was a short, sharp struggle, which the priest won. He not only recovered the money, but shoved the man into the street before he could recover his balance. The trump attempted to renew the attack, but the priest was too clever with his fists to be injured. Japs to Have Great Navy. Victoria. B. C.—Advices have been received by the steamer Bellerophon that the Japanese naval department has decided upon a naval programme for the improvement of the Japanese navy, the expansion to cover a period of eight years. The diet is asked to vote $135,000,000 for the purpose, of which $12,000,000 will be used to repair present vessels, among them the former Russian vessels captured and raised. Many of the vessels now in service will be replaced. The programme of the naval department will be to have a battleship squadron of eight vessels, representing the strongest and newest types, two armored cruiser squadrons of eight ships each and three fast cruiser squadrons of four ships each, representing a programme of shipbuilding for the next decade. Anarchist Entertains a King. Anarchist Entertainment a King. Milan—Papers here relate that some days ago the propletor of a cinematograph asked permission to give an exhibition to the royal family. The king consented and the exhibition was held. The police have since discovered that the propletor of the cinematograph was really a well-known anarchist, named Dutto. The king had paid him handsomely and shook hands with him. Dutto is being prosecuted for passing himself under a false name. LEGAL NOTICES. PERRI W. FRISBY, ATTORNEY.’ In the.
