PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE A FIRESIDF COMPANION. is true if you see it in THE BEE. VOL. XVI.NO. 23 SOME COLD FACTS. To Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Chairman of the National Republican Committee— I concluded last week by telling you to keep your eyes on New York. Between the two candidates I am of the opinion that Mr.Hearst (if elected) will come nearer doing for the people than Mr. Hughes. You know that I have the highest respect for your honesty and integrity, and I believe that you would do more for the colored citizen if you were permitted. You know that this is a republic, and a republican form of government. The colored Republicans, Mr. Cortelyou, are discontented. He is not being fairly treated by the Administration, and he knows it. The name of your chief is not as dear to him now as it used to be. The Republican party has forced the South to hate the colored man. He has been taught to know that the Democratic party is his inveterate enemy. He has been taught to hate his former master, which is the result of so much race hatred in the South today. The educated and refined white man in the South is aware that the many charges made against the colored citizen are untrue. It is claimed that the present administration is more than friendly to the colored citizen, and in your Congressional campaign book I take the following excerpt: "In face of the foregoing facts, the colored voter and other doubtful of the wisdom of continuing the control of the present Administration may well be asked whether or not the rights of the American negro at home and the destinies of the inhabitants of those islands now belonging to the United States are not safer with the Republican party, which by traditions and legislation has identified itself with the course of human freedom and universal opportunity than the Democracy." I must confess that the above declarations are not true. No! The islands that have recently come into the possession of the United States are being permeated with American prejudices. Wherever the American people are, there you will find American prejudices. Cuba is today endeavoring to clear herself of that prejudice which would subordinate the civil and political liberties of the negro Cubans. This was the contention of the Palma regime: If the American colored man had the independence and bravery of the Cuban negro conditions would be different. Democracy South is against the colored man. I will admit, while the Democracy North is inclined to treat him fairly, and if the colored voter would. only embrace the opportunities that are presented to him, his condition would improve. What has the colored voter received from the Republican party? Compare what the City and State of New York have done for the independent voter with what the Republican party has done for him in that city and State. Point out to me, if you please, one act of the two Republican Senators of New York in the interest of the colored voter in that State. I see that the papers in the case of the negro troops are in the hands of the President. The Sunday Post reports the following: "The report of Inspector General Carlington of the result of his investigation into the rioting of some members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored, at Brownsville, Tex., last summer, is now in the hands of the President. Failing to discover the culprits and to secure any kind of confession as to the identity of the guilty parties, in the interest of military discipline General Garlington has recommended that the three companies of the Twenty-fifth who were stationed at Brownsville when the incident occurred be discharged without honor. "It is for the President to say whether this course shall be pursued." Why should any one of these brave negro soldiers inform on his comrades? This shows the loyalty of the black man to his comrades. If these companies are mustered out, and dishonorably at that, the Administration would only be following the principles of the prejudiced white man and Southern Democracy, to wit: that the entire colored race must be held responsible for the acts of one or two men. I know there are some cowards among the colored people, but we have none among our colored soldiers, as the records of the late war of the rebellion, the late Spanish-American war and other wars will demonstrate the truthfulness of this assertion. of applicants and promotions of white Republicans and Democrats that have been made over competent colored men. There are nearly ninety thousand colored people in the District of Columbia, and not a representative place is held by one colored citizen. The highest place that is now held by a colored man in the District of Columbia is a justice of the peace which goes begging in many States. I notice that several Cabinet changes have been made. Perhaps, Mr. Cortelyou, the appointment of Mr. Strauss may save the State of New York, but I doubt it. Things are rather mixed in the State, dont you think so? I was of the opinion before you retired from the Postmaster Generalship that you would do something that would commend yourself to the colored voter. You should not allow the opportunity to slip. Before the reception of my next letter the election will be over. What I Saw And Heard The Battle Of Shiloh "NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME." REV.J. ANDERSON TAYLOR AT THE BATTLE OF SILHOH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28 Recorder of Deeds J. C. Dancy has left the city to make a few Republican speeches. I would suggest to the Recorder to advocate independence among the colored voters. I was amused to see the opposition to Rev. Taylor quietly standing Sunday morning quaking under the truth as it fell from the lips of that distinguished divine. It looked strange to see the malcontents listening to him when they declared that they didn't want to hear him. Col. Giles B. Jackson is collecting "the filthy lucre" from shares of the Jamestown Exposition, Colonel Jackson is determined to make the colored end of it a success. Now that harmony exists among the colored architects, the managers of the Jamestown Exposition may look for a fine structure. Superintendent Chancellor will have his hands full if he listens to the scandalmongers. Any jealous woman is liable to ruin the reputation of a respectable teacher. There are several people in this city "NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE AT THE BATTLE OF SHI without visible means of support, and ought to be in the Workhouse. Several Washingtonians left the city this week for New York. They say money is floating in the streets. If there is anything in sight the Washington politicians will get it. Hon. John P. Green is making several speeches in Ohio. There is some hope of Mr. Foraker carrying the State this year. Secretary Taft is not a presidential possibility. Colored Republicans are not very much inclined toward Mr. Taft. If New York goes Democratic, Mr. Hearst will be the next Democratic nominee for president. Some people seem to think that Mr. Hearst will not be able to carry out his promises if elected. The new Police Court will be finished shortly. The lawyers have had a hard time of it. They have been faithfull and constant. If there should ever be another Congressional school investigation someone will suffer. I don't think that the agitators will feel the pinch in the least.

Office 1011 New York avenue THEY ARE TURNED OUT RECEIVED AN OVATION. TWO THOUSAND GREET THEIR PASTOR. For some time there has been trouble brewing in Shiloh Baptist Church. The membership has been compelled to contest the arbitrary action of a dissatisfied faction that has been opposed to the pastor. The entire deacon and trustee board publicly exonerated Rev. Taylor of all charges against him, and gave him a certificate of character. Not being satisfied with that, and after a solemn declaration that he should return at the expiration of his three months leave of absence, the removed officers never would call a meeting of the church to transact any business, and neither would they listen to any appeals of nine-tenths of the membership of Shiloh Church, of which Rev. Taylor was pastor. Last week three or four hundred of the congregation filed a petition asking for a rule against the old board of deacons and trustees, which was set for a hearing yesterday. In the meantime a supplementary petition was filed setting forth the contention ME," REV. J. ANDERSON TAYLOR LOH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28 of the members. Friday evening, October 26, fully four hundred members of the church assembled in the lecture room of the church for the purpose of transacting business. After devotional exercises, Deacon Israel Cork announced that the church was ready for business. Mr. Jesse Foster, an active member of the church, made a most eloquent and pointed address, and among other things declared that the opposition to the pastor had manufactured quite a number of supposed members. He concluded his remarks by offering a resolution declaring the old board of trustees and board of deacons abolished. This was adopted unanimously by the four hundred present. There were several threats alleged to have been made and warrants issued, but Judge Mullowney, in the Police Court, thought that the defendants did not intend to harm the pastor; hence he dismissed the charges. The following officers were elected by the congregation of Shiloh Baptist Church: Trustees — Rufus Delaney, Willis Jones, Rufus Jackson, Jesse Foster, John Lanier, Thaddeus Fields. Deacons—Israel Cook, Jefferson Minor, L. Jackson, James Kent, William F. Smith and Rev. J. Anderson Taylor was re-elected pastor and directed to preach the following Sunday, October 28. About two thousand people assembled at Shiloh Church last Sunday morning to welcome their pastor, Rev. Taylor. To the displeasure of the members, after their arrival they found every door barred and tightly nailed, and the old locks taken off and new ones put on. This had been done Saturday evening. Complaint was made by the neighbors in the vicinity of the church to the Third Precinct Station that a great deal of noise was being made in Shiloh Church by someone. A police reserve was sent from the station to the church, and upon investigation it was ascertained that a few of the dis- untitled faction had gone to the church and done as was stated above. However, the people were not disappointed. Attorney Jones, of counsel for the church, secured a permit from Major Sylvester, the Mayor and the Superintendent of Police to hold outdoor services. Rev. Taylor, escorted by W. W. Calvin Chase, Rev. Taylor's son, and two others, arrived at the church about 11.15 a.m., amidst a silent and enthusiastic demonstration. The scene was a most imposing one. He took his stand in the center entrance of the church, surrounded by over six hundred of his membership, while at least fourteen hundred others, including his membership and friends, stood immediately in front of him. Prior to his arrival Rev. White, who claims to be assistant pastor of Shiloh, wanted to speak, but Attorney Jones told Captain Bayal to order him down; if he did not, there would be trouble. Several sisters nearby told Rev. White if he did not get down it would not be very healthy for him. The Rev. White took his Bible and hymn book, together with his manuscript, and left, and everything was then conducted in the usual manner. Deacon Cook offered prayer, followed by a hymn, and then Rev. Taylor. At the conclusion of his sermon a handsome collection was lifted, and then the benediction. Hundreds pressed forward and heartily shook the pastor's hand, and bade him Godspeed. Hundreds followed him to the corner of Sixteenth street, and many followed him to his door, 1452 Pierce street, where he held an all-day and evening reception. Hundreds called during the day and evening. Below is what Rev. Taylor said in part: He took for his text 20th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and the 24th verse, "None of these things move me." "Neither count I my life dear unto myself, so I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry delivered unto me by the Lord Jesus." He gave illustrations showing how severe, trying and anxious Paul's missionary life had been and was likely to be unto the end. Taking as a basis his own account given in II. Cor.: "How he had been whipped by the Jews, receiving ninety stripes, save one, five times. Thrice he was beaten with rods, stoned once, and was shipwrecked three times. How, during his journey, he had been imperiled by his own countrymen, and suffered many things for the name of the Lord Jesus, and now he was bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what suffering was in store for him; but the Spirit had told him bonds and afflictions awaited him. And used the text, "None of these things move me." He then compared the Apostle's life with that of the Lord Jesus. And divided them both into two parts, a working part, in which God was served in active labor, and a suffering part, in which God was served by bearing an enduring affliction, persecution and trouble. And declared that in both ways God had tested the faithfulness of His servants in all ages. He declared that Paul was only a type of all those whom God had called to preach His gospel. For He said, "If any man will be My disciple, he must deny himself and take up his crass and follow Me." Paul was taught in his early call that he must suffer great things for the name's sake of the Lord Jesus. So must every one learn that he must suffer if he would be a faithful preacher of the gospel. He closed by giving an account of his own labors with the Shiloh Baptist Church for over fifteen years. That he had been faithful in preaching the gospel, and the gospel he had preached to others he had tried to make the guide of his own life. He had suffered hardships, but had tried to endure them as a good soldier; knowing that Christ had said, "If we suffer together we shall be glorified together." And closed with the hymn "Jesus, keep me near Thy cross," and "There's a precious fountain, free to all; A healing stream that flows from Calvary's mountain." It was a great sermon; and, though the morning was somewhat crisp, the large audience was held spellbound during its deliverance. And there were many tears and sobs as he would refer to his own suffering and trials. CULPRIT FAY. Mrs. A. V.

President Roosevelt gave an audience last Tuesday night to the president of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Wash- THE MASS MEETING. There was another colored mass meeting held last Monday evening in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church by the local agitators. Now, what has that meeting accomplished? There was a great deal of surplus gas exploded against the colored members of the Board of Education, Superintendent Chancellor and Prof. Booker T. Washington. One of the speakers wanted to hold Mr. Washington responsible for the condition of our schools. Just what Mr. Washington had to do with the condition of our schools we would be pleased to know. The Bee has heretofore held that Mr. Washington's idea of colored education was all wrong, but it is inclined to the belief that if more colored people in this city were made to work they would have less time to agitate and resolute. The colored man can resolute more and accomplish less than any other individual in this country. It is claimed that Dr. Chancellor is opposed to the colored people and is inimical to the colored schools. The colored schools have no better friend than Mr. Chancellor and The Bee is thoroughly convinced that The Bee is more willing to do more for the advancement of colored industry than all the colored agitators in the District of Columbia. It is true that we had a mass meeting and several hot air agitators denounced the colored members of the Board of Education and called them traitors. Some of the speakers at this mass meeting remind The Bee of a host of barking dogs. A harking dog always gives notice of his whereabouts and nothing more and the moment he hears a gun go off he is gone. Colored agitators are similarly constructed. The Bee ventures the assertion that no plausible remedy was suggested at this mass meeting last Monday evening. What was it all about any way? Colored agitators are like a puff of powder. It is all over the moment the powder is touched with a lighted match. You can see nothing but the print of the powder after the smoke has cleared away. The echoes from the Monday night's meeting are a disgruntled set of agitators mnt and gave vent to their surplus gas. The Bee would suggest that these idlers go to work, and at once. It was oil that made Rockefeller rich. Wise investment in the Hamilton will make you rich. Try it. Office, 1ort New York avenue. 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 blind 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, domestic harmony at the fireside 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, Attie 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. 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 1889 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. ```markdown ``` 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 IS MANUFACTURED. 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 drop curtains, clothing for firemen, acid workers, lampwicks, stokers' 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 56 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 stone 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 engage extensively in the manufacture of this odd 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. Legg, Wilbur C. Legg, 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 Philippine islands, in 1905 was $826,904,777. With the Philippine trade eliminated the value of the domestic exports to foreign countries amounted to $825,746,927. The shipments of farm products from the United States to the noncontiguous possessions, including exports to the Philippine islands, were $14,700,000, or 1.8 per cent of the value just given for domestic exports to foreign countries, excluding the Philippines. 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. TRYING NEW "SMOKELESS COAL." Pittsburg Official Experimenting So as to Abolish 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, 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. 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 fate 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 Danforth, 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, 1746. 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'ma in State. Mount Joy, Pa.-Of the more than 500 schoolma's in Lancaster county none are more widely known and more popular than Mame and Louisa 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 mulls. 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. Washington.—it has been officially announced that since January 1 a total of $263,073 has been collected by the government from railroads granting rebates or conspiring to give rebates, this being exclusive of the money collected for violations of the safety appliance law. Over 200 of the latter cases were filed and in most of them the railroads went into court and conlessed judgment. IF YOU WANT A MORE To Boardy ADVERTISE HOLME'S Hotel 333 V. Ave., S. W.

Hall, of Malden, has constructed a unique musical instrument, supported 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. BANKER BUYS WAITER A RANCH. $Denver, Col.—David H. Moffat, millionaire banker and railroad builder of Colorado, who boasts as his friend Thomas Gay, head walter of the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, desires his friend to live near him, and as the first step in that, direction has purchased a ranch of 158 acres in Rount county, near Steamboat Springs, which he is having put in shape before presenting it to Gay. Mr. Moffat bought the ranch for $4,500. He will spend a goodly portion of his time on the ranch with his old friend. The friendship of the two men has interfered with Moffat's business several times, but when a man objected to the Walter the banker wanted nothing to do with him. Once a Denver man took an eastern capitalist to Mr. Moffat's room in the hotel to talk over a business deal involving $250,000. They found Moffat playing poker with the Walter. They were introduced to him as they would have been to any other guest and the deal fell through on account of the attitude of the eastern man when a Walter was introduced to him as a social equal.

Cleveland, O.—"Eddie" Mullin, who for 29 years refused to leave the Cura-ahoga 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 almighty about. He was talking to himself about ships and Egypt. He was taken to the county jail to await an investigation as to his sanity. He was not violent and the probate court did not investigate his case. 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 fall until he found a place to work. Mullin liked the fall so well that he did not try to get a job. Paris Widows Remarry Soon. Paris—Statistics published here show that the widows of Paris marry again more readily than the widowers. In three years, 2,270 men who became widowers 148 married again within 12 months. Six hundred and twenty-eight more consiled themselves after 13 months, and at the end of the three years 2,233 had remarried, leaving only 67 single. The widows of the last three years made even shorter work of their widowhood, for out of 1,907 of them, 1,991 had married within 18 months. LEPROSY HEREDITARY CONSUL PLUMACHER MAKES REPORT ON DREAD DISASTER Says Malady Is Not Contagious and Thinks It Curable—Results of Exhaustive Study by Representative in Venezuela Washington—After dis- herolism by the devotion of a to a study of leprosy, Engel P. macher, American consul at Macau- bo, Venezuela, has decided that the dread malady is not contag in any other disease. He has an exhaustive report to the sce- dment telling of his perfor- tance upon lepers afflicted the most revolting form. His cates that leprosy is curable, there is little hope in Venez- er Latin-American leper where nutritious foods and pro- drugs rarely are provided. Dr. Plumacher was ap: p: ted to Maracalbo in 1873, where he in: e: p: s: with his duties as consul he ca: s: a: t: with his duties as consul he ca: s: observed leper cases and their treatment and where he exper: menced in no small way. In this he had the benefit of correspondence with the most advanced scientists of the United States and Europe and it was through his efforts that he was plant, used in treating the disease is now planted in all countries which have leper stations. At the request of these persons, Dr. Flumacher took a number of photographs of lepers, personally removing the bandages of the affected in order that the best results be attained. It was prophesied that he would contract the disease that did not happen. He was able to visit secretly many lepers. Marcalo, concealed by their families to avoid being sent in perpetual banishment to the island. Using a secret midline which is obtained through Dr. S. C. Borthwell, now marshal of the supreme court of Porto Rico, he experimented with it on these private cases. The medicine was expensive, but the board of directors of the leper colony loved him a small sum to prepare the medicine and ten lepers were given into his special charge. These cases embraced both classes of the disease, the dry class, where extremities become calcinized so that fingers and toes may be broken off without pain to the patients, and the other class, known as the wet or soft leprosy, where every part becomes puffed and rots away, leaving at last nothing but a trunk of a human bean. The money given Dr. Plumacher lasted about two months, after which he carried the cases eight months at his own expense. His reports point out that the treatment produced good results, but that the lack of proper food made absolute cure impossible. Dr. Plumacher says in his report that as he was successful and full of hope for continued good results, he concluded he would rather drop the society of his friends of the leper colony than to abandon the lepers. Though he observed minute care to avoid any danger from contagion, he suffered a most horrifying experience in attending one of his patients, a boy at the leprosy institution, and a few days after the incident small sores appeared in his hands, but after some months these dried up, although discolored marks remained. From his observations of the tea cases in his care, the consul concluded that without plenty of nutritious food to build up the system of the afflicted there will never be good results from the treatment of the lepers at Maracabo. The report gives statistics showing the alarming number of lepers in the republics of Colombia and Venezuela. FOR WAR ON WILD-CAT MINING Convention to Be Held at Denver Will Seek to Kill Frauds. Denver, Col.-Definite action for the protection of investors in mining enterprises will be taken by the American mining congress, which will open in Denver October 15. A bill providing for the punishment of all mining fakirs and promoters of illegitimate mining enterprises will be drafted and the measure will be submitted to the legislatures of the various states interested. The measure will likely be modeled after that of the California law which in broad terms makes it a felony to use wrongful representations about mining properties. By furnishing protection against mining frauds, it is hoped to turn investment into successful channels by which the mineral production may be largely increased and the investor find profit instead of loss. Steps will also be taken to create mine drainage districts and for the establishment of a department of mines and mining as a separate executive department of the national government. No Matinee for Schoolgirls Cleveland, O.-The board of education proposes to inaugurate two sessions daily at the high school to keep the girls away from the theaters. The school board does not approve of the matinee. The theory that the half day session gives pupils a clear afternoon for study does not work in that way," said Member S. P. Orth. Many boys spend the afternoon at athletics and the girls attend social functions or the matinee. BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD. Leave Station, New Jersey ave & C st. ROYAL BLUE LINE.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO TER AL AT TWENTY-THI NET, NEW YORK CITY. passenger trains of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to and from New York City now have direct ferry connection with 42nd Street Terminal, in addition to Liberty Street; the South Ferry Terminal having been discontinued. Twenty third Street is the most popular terminal of the great metropolis because of its convenience to the hotel, theatre and shopping district. In the recent remodeling of the terminal building a glass roofed canopy was constructed fifty feet wide, under which the crosswars of the 14th, 23rd, 28th and 29th Street lines pass, so that passengers are protected from the weather leaving the terry house, and also avoid the annoyance of street traffic. All luggage destined to New York City will be delivered to 23rd Street unless distinctly marked "Liberty Street," or otherwise. A complete electric cab service has also been established for the transportation of passengers and baggage at very reasonable rates. The importance of 23rd Street is most graphically brought to attention in the August number of the Book of the Royal Blue published by the passenger department of the Baltimore & Ohio, under the title "Into the Heart of Gotham. The interest centers within a mile radius of 23rd street, Fifth avenue and Broadway. Full page photographs of unusual detail present a most vivid picture of this most interesting locale.

ROSE PUBLISHERS KINK·INE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the air. Hink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-IND 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."

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST At no time since the clash between mugwumpism and stalwartism have political aspects in New York been more unique and interesting than at present. In times when stalwart Republicans stood firmly and solidly for human rights, the right of the majority to rule, equality before the law, and the extension and amplification of civil rights and opportunity for all classes, without regard to race, condition or creed, the colored citizen enjoyed a sense of security and a hope for happiness, peace and prosperity which logically result from wise, just and equitable government. When at last, through the machinations of malicious, intriguing Southern politicians and spineless, so-called white Republicans, mugwumpism became the dominant political influence, the hopes of the colored citizen began to vanish, until at last his civil and political vestments have been ruth gling them. We recall with much satisfaction the editorial which appeared in the Journal about the time that our matchless and handicapped Joe Gans was about to fight Nelson, wherein Hearst quite plainly showed his sympathy for Gans and contended for a "square deal." We may call Hearst a demagogue, but he is man who does things and does good things. In the next place Mr. Hearst favors municipal ownership of public utilities. Just here, the colored voters see the promise of multiplied opportunities for the race. Hearst stands the uncompromising opponents of trusts of any and all sorts. What colored man would not gladly see the destruction of trusts? They are the hot-beds which breed organized opposition to colored labor. They subordinate the interests of the people to their scramble for pelf and power. The self-stultification, the compromise, the yielding to the policy of decitizenization of the colored voters at the South for the extension and monopoly of a market, are some of the results of trusts. The trademark of the trusts is the dollar of the S. G. A. O. T. U. and pretend mark, the trade-mark of Hearst is blindfolded Justice. With the trusts commercially, industrially and politically the colored laborer is a detached cipher. With municipal ownership of railroads, water and gas plants, the colored people would certainly have a show, if for no other reason than that the colored voters will have influence in dictating the management of these concerns. At all events, the fight is on. If Hearst is elected there is something for the colored people of New York to hope for; if he fails, they must and will bear patiently the burdens they now bear, not, however, without hope in the future. AGAINST HINSELF AGAINST HIMSELF We have come to the conclusion that the colored people in this city are against themselves. They don't seem to be in any enterprise that will tend to help their boys and girls. It seems that many of them are grafters, and all they think of is to inaugurate schemes to rob each other. We have the corner loafer, the insurance fakir, the real estate shark, and many other things that are no good. Now, if the pulpit would only do its duty conditions among the colored people would improve. There has been no enterprise started that has been successful. Every once in a while some schemer starts something to fleece the people. The white people as well as the colored more readily give encouragement to bogus enterprises than they will give to legitimate institutions. It seems to us that all classes have a mania for the fakir institutions and enterprises. Many of them will more readily listen to the history of bogus concerns than they will to things that will help them. WANTS NEGRO MUSICIANS IN From the City Times, Texas From the City Times, Texas. In last week's issue of the Galveston Journal, official organ of the Galveston Labor Council and affiliated unions appeared an article that would be of interest to many from the fact that it shows a sentiment now that organized labor is willing to take hold of colored labor and organize them for protection. The article cites that Mr. Clarence Haughton of the Musicians has been delegated authority by President Weber of the American Federation of Musicians to enroll the local colored musicians under the banner of the A. F. of M. President Haughton was seen this week by the representative of the Times and stated that he was interested in such a movement and that he hoped to succeed as it would be of benefit to the colored musicians. He had talked the matter-over with them and he states they are in for it. President Haughton showed the Times representative his authority to act in this direction. AS DUMB AS POSSIBLE From the Weekly Guide President Roosevelt was a dumb as a clam on the Atlanta riots, where scores of innocent colored people were murdered in cold blood, but was quick to break his silence by issuing an order compelling the colored veterans to expose their comrades who ventured to resent unbearable insults, or be dishonorably disbanded. The whole Navy was sent to Cuba to hold down a few colored insurgents at the cost of millions of dollars. But not even a sentimental or sympathetic word was uttered in defense of innocent or helpless American citizens at home. "Strange logic this. Where is the "Square Deal" and the "Door of Hope" that we have heard so much about when the good President was begging for our votes? JUSTLY PRAISED. The Washington Bee gives Miss Alpha Brooks quite a nice send off. Miss Brooks is the trained nurse who is now in charge of Mercy Hospital. She is a graduate from the School of Nurses of the Freedmens Hospital, and The Bee sees nothing but success for her while in our city. Under most unusual conditions "The Clansman" was produced at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia last night. The colored clergy of the city had made a formal protest to Mayor Weaver against the production of the play, claiming that "lynchings have been encouraged by the play." The mayor refuses to take any action. About a half hour before the theater opened 9th and Walnut streets, where the playhouse is located, were packed with colored people. Director of Public Safety McKenty, who, realizing the danger, had hastened to the scene, begged the ministers, who seemed to have complete control of the crowd, to disperse the mob. While the director was at the scene a riot call was sent in, and five patrol wagons brought half a hundred policemen to the theater. The colored minister surrounded Director McKenty and demanded that he stop the play. The director delivered a brief speech, asking the crowd to disperse, and saying that he would endeavor to have the play discontinued after tonight. This seemed to have a soothing effect on the crowd, and it slowly scattered. Early in the evening a colored man attempted to create a disturbance in the theater. He was arrested, but the police had considerable difficulty in rescuing WHY A WOMAN NAGS. A doctor expresses the opinion that nine times out of ten the woman who nags is tired. One time out of ten she is hateful. Times out of mind her husband is to blame. The cases that come under the physician's eye are those of the women who are tired, and who have been tired so long that they are suffering from some form of nervous disease. They may think they are only tired, but in fact they are ill. In such cases the woman often suffers more from her nagging than her husband or the children with whom she finds fault. She knows she does it. She does not intend to do it. She suffers in her own self-respect when she does it, and in the depth of her soul longs for something to stop it. The condition is usually brought on by broken sleep, improper food, want of some other exercise than housekeeping, and enough of out of door air and practical objective thinking. It is often the most unselfish and most affectionate of women who fall into this state, says Woman's Life. They are too much devoted to their families to give themselves enough of any healthy exercise and diversion, enough of naps, perhaps, or concerts.—Ex. TH LEGAL MASONIC STATUS OF MASONRY IN THE UNITED STATES FROM A MASONIC STANDPOINT This synopsis is not prepared for notoriety, but refute the sayings of the Smart Isaac who classes all outside of his faction as bogus, etc., when he is in the same boat. Had the advice given in The Bee from time to time been followed, a good many things would have been avoided. For nearly one hundred years the white Masons of the United States never could understand how Masonry was worked by the colored Masons until 1896. As we said before, these Masonic demonstrations made from time to time were made from good causes. There were violations that compelled these acts, for illustration, the Thirteenth Landmark, which gives the Right of Appeal, was done away with in many cases. Masonic Grand Lodges are regulated by written and unwritten laws, and the Landmarks, which can never be changed. When Landmarks of Masonry are done away with, a Grand Lodge ceases to be a Masonic Jurisdiction. The great mistakes made by the negro Mason of the United States are as follows: First, the withdrawal of, African Lodge, No. 459, from the English Register by not paying dues due the English Grand Lodge, in 1813; second, the formation of the National Compack, and third, the secession from the Compacks; fourth the formation of Free and Accepted Masons after seceding from the Compacks (as now worked in the United States). A Grand Lodge may claim to have the Charter from England, yet at the same time that charter and other Masonic authority was placed into the possession of the National Compack. In that formation, June 24, 1847, A.D., at In connection with the formation of the M. W. N. Grand Lodge of Compack Masons for North America, December 27, 1875, African Lodge, No. 1, of Philadelphia, merged into First Independent Grand Lodge of North America. In 1828 James Miller and others, of Harmony Lodge, No. 4, under Pennsylvania Jurisdiction (expelled), made application to a white Masonic lodge at Norristown, Pa., for a warrant, and received in return of $125 a warrant said to have been granted by the Grand Lodge of Ohio (white). Under this authority the Independent Harmony Lodge proceeded to work. June 17, 1837, organized the Hiram Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania; this making two in the State. So then Brother John T. Hilton, Grand Master of African Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, in order to check and purify this unmasonic stream, proceeded with the organization of the National Grand Lodge as follows: African Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. First Independent African Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and Hiram Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Fro mthis source the colored Masons of the United States originated. This trouble in the District of Columbia came from the interference of the Blue Lodge and the Higher Degrees; secondly, unfairness regarding the admission of certain men into certain higher degrees, viz. Mystic Shrine; thirdly, the deputy at that time making a new Temple (which at that time he was right); fourth, the commission of five Past Grands failing to recommend to the Craft "Hands off; this is not out fight. Aborigine. Ad interim." THE WORKERS OF THE RACE The above subject was the one chosen by Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association last Tuesday night, and the speaker was well received by a large and enthusiastic audience. In the outset, Mrs. Williams gave it as her belief that colored women, as a rule, are not endowed with the initiative gift, and that it was due to opposition and lack of opportunity. Just how want of opportunity will stifle or smother initiative genius is in any way dependent upon opportunity, was not quite clear to me. My understanding and belief has been that the smaller the opportunity and the greater the opposition, the greater the chance for initiative and original method. Mrs. Williams address dealt with accomplishments of the race in general, along all, lines, and particularly with those of woman and the servant problem. In regard to the latter problem, Mrs. Williams endeavored to explode some of the false and foolish notions cooperating the social standing to which the domestic is, by custom, consigned. To estimate one by the position she holds, and thereby bar her from any social recognition, is illogical and wrong. By so doing many otherwise worthy girls, through discouragement, have been driven to lives of degradation and shame, for which we, ourselves, to a degree, are responsible. We should endeavor to make the domestic servant feel that, by carrying into the position the proper spirit and training, the most despised profession may be made honorable. By so doing we not only heighten their womanhood or manhood, but stimulate their self-esteem and aspiration to nobler ideals. As Americans we are taking too much to the European way—that of estimating a man by the position he holds; we lay to great stress upon the calling or official place, and not enough upon real or personal worth. The position no more makes the man than feathers make the bird. It is not the calling which degrades; but the spirit and the heart we carry into it. The day laborer may be as high-inmed as the artist, the cook as honest and honorable as her mistress who sits back and does nothing but receive in her drawing room, or the scullion as conscientious as the dealer in stocks and bonds. We must mix brains and conscience with our calling, as Opie, the painter, did with his colors. The girl who is a better cook than her next door neighbor can get work when her neighbor cannot. Her services will be in demand when her neighbor's will not. Competency is the key that unlocks many Competency is the key that unlocks many, Cleveland, Ohio, October 30, 1906. Armed with a vigorous protest against the appearance of Senator Ben Tillman in the Teachers' Institute lecture course of this city December 19. a delegation of colored citizens of Cleveland, lawyers, physicians, ministers and business men called on Chairman Sol Weimer of the lecture course committee Tuesday afternoon. They were headed by John P. Green, former government official and legislator. Caused Massacre "With Governor Vardaman and the Rev. Thomas Dixon this man Tillman was responsible for the Atlanta massacre," declared Green. "We believe it inimical to the best interests not only of wronged a good man. There stood his the colored people of Cleveland, but to the community at large to have this man, with the fresh blood of the Atlantans on his hands, appear in a public address here. "He is worse-than Catiline of old, and we protest against the importation of such a fellow to take part, indirectly though it be, in the instruction of our young." Tillman was invited to appear here by the committee, of which Professor Weimer is the head, but with the express stipulation that he was not to broach the race issue. Tillman has not yet been informed of the stipulation, as the committee was in search of a man of sufficient powers to properly impress the idea on Tillman's mind. AGITATORS. Only those who live in this city can tell what the people have lost by the agitators. Very soon after the war the Freedmen's Savings Bank was established, which contained several colored clerks from the North. These clerks were something new to those who deposited their money in a colored bank. Everything moved smoothly until the colored people began to agitate. These agitators were interlopers and had no interest in the welfare of the people whatever. These agitators agitated till the bank went out of existence. The colored people's next possessions were the police and fire commissioners and street commissioners. The laborers upon the public streets were receiving two dollars per day. Several interlopers came to the city and began to agitate. They declared to the people that they should receive more money and better positions. The so-called wise colored man suggested a change in the government. They assisted the enemies of the colored people to make a change. The result was there was a change in the form of government. The colored people not only lost all of their commissioners but the street laborers were reduced to $1.50 per day. Hundreds of them lost their valuable property by the operation of the four million loan. Those who had to pay large taxes and were oppressed are aware how many suffered. The agitators were not injured at all. At that time the colored people were controlling their own schools. They had their own colored board of trustees. These trustees dispensed their own money, appointed their own teachers and reported to themselves. Now the agitators come along; the disturbers of public peace were in evidence and the disorganizers declared that the trustees were dishonest and should be removed. Well, all kinds of letters were published in the Gazette, a paper edited by the late Wm J. Florence. These letters were headed, Carrie to Cordelia and Cordelia to Carne. All kinds of charges were made against the teachers and the trustees. Indignation meetings were held and the result was a change was made in the school system. The money that was handled by the colored trustees was transferred to the white officials. Then came a consolidation of the School Board. Next came a reduction in the number of colored trustees. The next agitation was the removal of Mr. Geo. F. T. Cook who had been superintendent for twenty-five years. He is a polished gentleman and made one of the best superintendents the schools have ever had. The agitators did not rest until he was removed. Then came the famous Congressional investigation. The entire school system was revolutionized. The places that were held by the colored teachers were made secondary and today the interlocers are still agitating. The citizens and taxpayers are not mixed up in these mass meetings. The Bee will take the participants in the meeting held last Monday night and see just what interest any of the speakers have in the school and just how much property they own in this city. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, the head of the agitators, is a citizen and writer in Elmira, New York. He came to this city about four years ago. He will be here two years longer and then he will leave. He owns no property in this city and he pays no personal tax. Rev. Hunter is an unknown quantit y. Mr. Lane is from the South. He came to the city several years ago. He was one of the disafflicted Repellants who thought that the Rev. James M. Townsend, then recorder of the Land Office should resign if President Harrison refused to give him a larger place. Rev. Townsend was lead to believe by Mr. Lane and Mr. McCabe, now of Oklahoma, that he was a great man. Townsend was by these political agitators persuaded to resign his position. He did resign and nothing has been heard from him since. Rev. Geo. W. Lee, whose heart is as big as a flour barrel, is being imposed upon. The Bee doesn't believe that Rev. Lee is aware of the tricks of these politicians. Attorney A. W. Scott left North Carolina because he talked too much. Attorney Scott is of a nervous temperament and is liable at any time to go off the flint. He is unmarried and all the property he has is personal and it is locked up so tightly that Attorney Scott himself is unable to get to it. He is a race man, however. The people in this city are not interested in these agitators because they do not represent anything or anybody. These agitators would have the outside world to believe that the colored people are opposed to Mr. Chancellor. It is not so. The reception of the teachers at the High School Tuesday was an evidence of the esteem in which the superintendent is held by the colored teachers. This is the first time in the history of the colored schools under white supervision that the superintendent has ever visited a reception held by colored teachers. It is believed by the people that the colored schools will be placed upon a higher basis and the teachers will have better protection. The teachers have no reason to fear dismissal if they do their duty and so far as Mr. Chancellor is concerned he will see to it that domineering supervising principals will treat teachers properly. NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME. In church as well as elsewhere the colored brother will fight. When Rev. J. Anderson Taylor advanced to the front of his church steps last Sunday morning and selected his text, the two thousand people who stood for one hour and three quarters in the bleak wind, be looked like Ajax defying the sea. None of these things move me, said the eloquent divine. He flayed his enemies and traducers, who stood like cowardly men among Christian people. They did not move although they declared that they did not want to hear him preach. They stood and devoured every word and no doubt they were convicted in their conscience because they knew they had accusers, and pray, who were their Rev. Taylor stood erect and in a class eloquently delivered the demagogues, who stood and took their medicine. His ovation was complete. The report of-The Bee shows that hundreds followed him. Little children, old mothers and decrepit fathers, young and pretty young ladies with their escorts pressed forward and extended a hand of congratulation. It was a triumph over the backhitter; it was a victory over the backslider and death to the hypocrites who have formed the conspiracy against him. Rev. Taylor has triumphed. If ever there was a time that the negro of the U. S. should be united, now is the time. First his inhuman treatment in the South, second his political disfranchisement by the Democrats and the silent aid of the Republicans, third, his continuous lack of unity, verily, the condition of the negro is terrible. But as we say, if Masonry cannot hold him together, then there is nothing under the heavens will accomplish the same. The Week in Society TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Miss Jessie Fancet, an attache of the High School, spent a few days at her home, Philadelphia. Mr. P. M. Mitchell had a pleasant rest in Richmond a few days ago. Mr. Robert Pelham, after visiting Chicago, paid Detroit, Mich., a visit. Dr. Manly Taylor of Richmond, Va., has decided to practice in Columbus, Ga., where one of his classmates, Dr. Mann, is now practicing. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jackson were given a reception by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Henderson at their residence, 428 Seventeenth street northwest, on Thursday evening, October 25. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson will spend the winter at their country home, in Virginia, for the benefit of Mr. Jackson's health. Their many friends gathered to say good-bye, wishing them luck and that Mr. Jackson will be improved in health by the change. Some of those present were Mr. J. L. Dickinson, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Mr. George E. Robian, of Atlantic City, N. J., and Mr. Norman Baissane, of Alexandria, Va., and a host of local friends, Mr. A. D. Watson assisted in entertaining the guests. After a late hour a tea was drunk to the departing friends' health and an early return—good night. The Second Baptist Lyceum will reopen next Sunday at 3:30 p.m. An interesting program will be arranged. Efforts are being made to secure the services of a prominent local educator for the opening. Vincent Division, Company F, gave A Mystery Ten last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Vallentine, 1225 New York avenue, N. W. It was a novel affair and the invited guests had a most enjoyable time. The hostess, Mr. Vallentine; never fails to make her entertainments pleasant as well as enjoyable. The principal amusements of the evening were music and cards. The members of the Odd Fellows' fraternity gave a smoker to Mr. W. L. Houston at Odd Fellows' Hall Tuesday evening. There were fully two hundred present. Mr. W. H. Brown was master of ceremonies, who handled the gavel in a dignified and judicial manner. Among the principal speakers and guests were Messrs. David Warner, James Coleman, Walter J. Abrahams, M. C. Clinkscales, Aldridge Lewis, John Brown, Rev. Oscar J. W. Scott, J. W. Muse, Rev. W. J. Howard, W. Calvin Chase and a host of others. Many speeches of the participants were entertaining. The address of the new national grand master, Mr. Houston, was more than interesting. Many stories were told how the trick was turned to elect Mr. Houston at Richmond. The Mississippi delegation must have been a team and a conseant hard to defeat. ATTORNEY HAYES WILL SPEAK Mr. James H. Hayes, the well-known lawyer, of Richmond, Va., who contested the revised Constitution of Virginia before the United States Supreme Court and who stirred the country by delivering a speech at Lincoln Temple a few years ago, in which he said that the continued persecution of the negro would breed a race of Nat Turners, and the torch and sword would devastate and dissolve the South," will deliver a speech at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Sunday, November 4, at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. R. R. Horner, the District Deputy, and Dr. J. G. Walker, the Grand Worthy Chief of the I. O. of St. Luke, will make brief addresses. This meeting will be held under the auspices of Hill Council, No. 503, I. O. of St. Luke. The public is invited. POLICEMAN EXONERATED. Commissioners Reverse Board's Verdict of Guilty in Potter Case. The District Commissioners Monday reversed the decision of the police trial board in finding Private J. F. Potter, of the Metropolitan police force, guilty of the charges of neglect of duty and of assaulting Mary Davis. It was charged before the trial board that on June 9, 1906, Private Potter was intoxicated, failed to report to the Sixth precinct station an accident which happened at New Jersey avenue and F street, N. W., and struck Mary Davis on the head with his baton. At the trial it was proved that at the time Mr. Potter had been suffering from a disease akin to vertigo, and was not intoxicated. He was, however, found guilty of the two other charges, and his dismissal from the force was recommended. Calvin Chase presented Potter's case to the Commissioners Monday morning, proved an alibi, and alleged that the charges were brought by troublesome residents on Potter's beat. The Commissioners found Potter not guilty of the charges. PLEADING AGAIN. "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth Calvary came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union"—President Roosevelt. Whenever the colored vote is wanted all kinds of subterfuges are resorted to to convince him that the Republican party is the best friend the colored man ever had.

We want to say to the managers of the Republican party that we have seen similar declarations before and have never known one to be carried out. But to the contrary, three companies of colored soldiers have been recommended to be dishonorably discharged because they refuse to be cowardly informers. We know that the colored soldiers are brave, but what consideration do they receive from those who are in power? He fought in the late civil war to put down the traitors who today are passing on their characters and reputation. These loyal blacks have been displaced for those who endeavored to destroy the Union. We have said all along that the President knew the bravery-of the colored soldiers and knew what they accomplished when he attempted to go up San Juan Hill. But what did the President say in his magazine article about those brave colored soldiers? We are will divide next month. He intends to pleased to state that the colored vote do just what the white voter is doing, think and act for himself. SNAP SHOTS From the Workshop of the Grand East, October 22, 1906.

A great deal of the bad treatment received by our colored brother in the South would have been avoided had he voted with the Democrats of the South. Every negro who fails to support his race paper in this day and time should have his ears cut off. It looks like Brother J. Anderson Taylor, of Shiloh, holds the winning hand. The attention of humane people is called to the case of Mrs. Mollie Richardson, colored, at 84r Desmond alley southwest, between Ninth and Tenth streets, E and F.

Winthrop and Is an Excellent Example of the Early Massachusetts Farm- Boston.—One may read in the early history of New England that Capt. William Pierce was one of the "most esteemed and accomplished navigators of his day." He commanded three of the ships which brought the Pilgrims across the "raging main," and he was master of the Mayflower when she went from England to Salem in the year 1620. He had the full confidence of Gov. Winthrop, and received important commissions from him, and always proved worthy of the trust. Miles Standish, John Elliot, Roger Williams, Sir Richard Saltonstall and Gov. Winthrop's wife crossed the Atlantic with Capt. Pierce, and he had the distinction of being something of a "literary light," for he prepared a copy of the first book published in the colonies. This was "An Almanack for the year 1639, calculated for New England by William Pierce, Mariner." He was one of the first selectmen of Boston, and in 1634 he lived in a little house of his own on what is now State street, in Boston. He was one of 15 men to whom "Pulling Point," now the town of Winthrop, a suburb of Boston, was allotted in 1637, and here he made his home for the rest of his sojourn on earth, which was not long, for he was killed by the Spaniards in the West Indies in 1647. His widow and son sold his "Pulling Point" holdings to Deane Winthrop, who was the sixth son of Gov. Winthrop, and that is why the house that Capt Pierce built is called the Winthrop house, and it is believed to be the oldest dwelling house now standing in Massachusetts. Deane Winthrop was left in England to finish his education when his father came to "the wild New England shore," and he did not arrive until the year 1635, when he and his brother John came over in the Abigail. Deane Winthrop was the founder of the town of Groton, in Massachusetts. He married a stepdaughter of President Dunster, of Harvard college, and imitated the other New Englanders by having a large family, nine children THE DEANE WINTHROP HOUSE. (Efforts Are Being Made to Preserve It. Properly.) being born to him, and he outlived all of them, dying in 1704, at the age of 81. The old Winthrop house is one of the six oldest houses now standing in New England, and the Winthrop association has been formed for the purpose of purchasing and preserving this ancient landmark, which has been but little changed since it was built, well on to 300 years ago. Judge Sewall records in his famous and delightful diary that he attended the wedding of Mercy Winthrop in the west room of the old house in the year 1700. When the house and land passed from the hands of the Winthrop it was owned and occupied by such notables as Gov. James Bowdolin, Lady Temple and by her daughter, who became the wife of Gov. Thomas Lindall Winthrop. One will not find in all New England a better example of the early New England farmhouse, and it is a landmark well worthy of preservation It is the intention of the Winthrop association to put into the house a collection of Winthrop relics and add another to the already considerable number of Pilgrim and Puritan collections in New England. A Woman's Scream. A bicyclist was scorching along with his head down. A little child toddled out into the road and stood directly in his path. The mother saw the child's danger, but was too much frightened to move. Suddenly she screamed, a loud, piercing scream, that startled the bicyclist out of his with, and he lost control of his wheel, hit the earth, and didn't know where he was for five minutes. But the child was saved, which proves that a woman is not always so helpless as she looks.

New York.—This city is soon to have a deaf and dumb lawyer. This seemingly incongruous person is William S. Abrams, who is studying law in the office of George B. Hayes, at No. 31 Nassau street, and expects to be admitted to the bar in the fall. His practice will be confined mainly to cases in which deaf and dumb people are concerned, and his work will necessarily be almost entirely in the office, the pleadings and motions being turned over to his coadjutors. When he does appear in court it will be in the capacity of interpreter, or, more properly speaking, thought reader. There are many deaf mutes whose knowledge of business is limited owing to their infirmity and who lack the power to properly express [Illustration of a man in a suit with a tie and a hat.] (The First Deaf Mute Lawyer in New York City.) their ideas even in the sign language. It often happens, in fact, that in the interpretation the very opposite of their wishes is expressed This Mr. Abrams purposes to correct by getting thoroughly in touch with the mental undertaking of the clients and giving proper expression to their ideas. Lawyers with practice among deaf mutes find it comparatively easy to conduct cases for those who are educated, but almost a hopeless task to arrive at any understanding with the illiterate except through one who is himself acquainted with the workings of the mind of the deaf mute. ELOQUENCE OF CHILD. It Moved a Convention of Journalists at Denver. Denver.—To the eloquence of an eight-year-old girl Birmingham, Ala., owes the fact that the International-League of Press Clubs will hold its next annual convention there. She is little Miss Selene Rountree, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rountree, of Birmingham. It was near the close of the convention of press clubs in Denver that the little girl made herself famous, at least among the newspaper fraternity of the country. Birmingham and Omaha were pitted against each other for the convention. Mr. and Mrs. Rountree and their two children, Selene and a boy 11 years old, were the sole representatives of their city. When time for the vote came, Mr. Rountree was not in the convention hall and could not be found. "Is there no one here who can speak for Mr. Rountree?" inquired the president. There was no answer. Some one suggested that Mr. Rountree's son take his father's place, but the boy A. SELENE ROUNTREE. (Charming Little Miss Who Secured Convention, for Southern City.) was too timid. The little girl, realizing that Birmingham was about to lose the convention, arose in the midst of the assembly of nearly 300 delegates, and said she would speak for her father. She was escorted to the stage and began: "My father cannot be found. I am here to speak for him. We want you all to come to Birmingham next year. We can promise that you will receive a royal welcome." That was all she said, but it was quite enough. She was literally carried from the stage by some of the delegates. When the vote was taken it was unanimously for Birmingham. Solene Rountree's father and mother are both journalists, well known in the south. They are genuine southners and their children speak the musical accents, of the southland. THRIFTY MICHIGAN MINERS ARE THEIR OWN EMPLOYERS. After More Than One Year's Trial Cooperative Mining Industry Has Been Declared a Success—Owned by Workmen. Saginaw, Mich.—After a year's trial a cooperative coal mining industry at this place has been declared a success. This mine is owned by the workmen who operate it. They establish prices, make contracts and go down underground to dig out the product. There are no labor troubles or strikes, for every man is personally interested in the welfare of the company. It was on September 1, 1905, that coal was first sold from the new mine of the Caledonia company. There has been no idleness since, and the workmen-owners are preparing to put on double shifts to keep pace with their orders. When it was organized the plan was to have the company consist of 100 men, and the capital stock was placed at $50,000. After a year of success it has been decided to increase the capital to $250,000 and the company to 500 men. So well, in fact, has this purely cooperative mine done that two other organizations have been formed in Michigan along similar lines. One of these new companies, like the Caledonia, is formed entirely of practical handlers of the pick and shovel. The men forming the Caledonla selected their executive officers from among themselves. Business of the company is looked after by a general superintendent, who is responsible to a board of managers. At all times the acts of the board are subject to review by a general assembly of the miners, who keep in touch with the affairs of the concern as they do with the vein of coal from which they make their living. When it came to an allotment of the stock few of the men were able to A. BENJAMIN R. CUSHMAN. (Secretary of the Coal Company Owned by Workmen.) take more than a small holding. They were not capitalists. Some, in fact, had little or no money and arranged to pay their part in labor. Last spring the Caledonia workers lived upon the 1903 scale of wages as that to be paid in their mine. This is 5.55 per cent. higher than the scale of the succeeding season—1904-5. The average pay of the Caledonia miner is now $2.55 a day. So far the workmen owners have refrained from declaring a dividend. Starting with a small capital, they have considered it wise to turn back into the mine, for the development of the property, all profits above operating expenses. Then, too, the original mine has only 40 acres of coal land, and as there has been a steady demand for the output it was necessary to look to the future. Recently the company has purchased an additional 500 acres adjoining its mine. It was by good fortune and an exercise of shrewdness that the Caledonia people secured their original 40 acres. In the midst of land controlled by a combination of existing companies was this little tract, on which the combination was paying royalties. Talking that it would be well to save this amount, and that there would be no difficulty in securing control at any time, the holders permitted the lease to lapse. Waiting for just such an opportunity, the Caledonia promoters quietly and quickly secured a lease upon it themselves. So secretly were all the preliminaries carried on that it was only when the work of sinking a shaft was begun that the actual existence of the new workingmen's company became generally known. Although the founder of Christianity declared that it was no sin to pluck an ear of corn on the Sabbath, the Connecticut blue laws make it a crime to shoot a snake on Sunday or to sell or to buy an antidote for a snake bite. Peter Zarcone, of Danbury, was bitten by an adder as he was passing through a swamp and he shot and killed the reptile. But he was caught by the police and when he was arraigned before Judge Howard Scott he was fined $10 and costs. The judge censured the law severely and advised Zarcone to carry his case to the court of common pleas. Challenges All Players and Has Defeated Even Pillsbury. Philadelphia.—Can you play checkers? There is a blind man in Philadelphia who can beat you, no matter how well you play. He has defeated Pillsbury, Matthew Priest and half a dozen other professionals despite the fact that he can not see as much as a ray of light and has to follow the game in his mind with the assistance of his finger tips. John Thompson is the blind champion's name. He lives at 251 North Warnock street, where many of the most scientific checker players in the United States have called on him and met their Waterloo. Thompson has a crude little board that was made especially for him, the squares being sunk in the wood. One A. H. JOHN THOMPSON. (A Noted Checker Player Who Is Blind.) set of men is square to match the holes and has a little groove on one side. When the men have only a single value these grooves are turned downward, but when they reach the king row the grooves are turned upward. The other set of men are the usual round checkers and with his delicate touch Thompson can distinguish between them as readily as anyone who has the full use of his eyes. Forty-six years ago Thompson's vision left him. He is totally, absolutely blind. It was about 15 years ago that he determined to learn to play checkers and has his little board made. The game fascinated him and he has been playing steadily ever since, part of the time professionally. For several years he has been a regular feature at the Ninth and Arch street museum and he will play there again this year. He meets all corners and rarely loses a game. "Oh, it's a beautiful game," he said rapturously to a visitor who called at his house. "There's no end to it. Pillsbury himself admitted to me that there's more in it than there is in chess, and that's a good deal for Pillsbury to say, you know. Poor Pillsbury. He was a good opponent, the kind of opponent that a man likes to meet. He talked about the game as if it were a masterpiece of art or music and with a modeling agency he worked cut the problems. Gabrielson's Mind Plans Devices While Muscles Dig Ditches. Kansas City — William Gabrielson, a day laborer, is also an inventor. While his muscles dig ditches his mind ```markdown ``` WILLIAM GABRIELSON. (He is Destined to Make a Mark as Inventor.) plans devices for the aid of civilization. He is the inventor and patent right holder of a fish and animal trap which he says will catch anything from an eel to a bear, and a violin which he declares will give a cheap instrument the high tones of an expensive one. He is also contemplating other and larger inventions. But Gabrielson is poor, he says, and it costs money to put a new invention on the market. He insists, though, that if his patents are to make any one rich it will be Gabrielson, and so he is waiting for, the right chance to get a start. Gabrielson is a Finlander. He came to this country 17 years ago. He speaks English broken. FLOCK TO HOLY HILL THOUSANDS PRAY FOR CURE AT MIRACULOUS SHRINE. Located at One of the Beauty Spots of Southern Wisconsin—Famed for Many Wonderful Cures—its Chapel. Milwaukee.—Pilgrims in thousands, malmed, halt, blind, deaf, victims of the deadly cancer and of the "white plague," the afflicted of every sort, will gather from all parts of the country at the foot of Holy Hill, the famed Wisconsin shrine, there to climb painfully the steep and stony path that leads to the Church of St. Mary at the summit and to find it may be, that miraculous release from sickness and suffering that so many devout Catholics before them are said to have met with in that sacred place. What Lourdes is to the Roman Catholics of France and western Germany, Holy Hill is fast becoming to the followers of that faith in this country throughout the northwest. Each year sees an increase in the number who make the pilgrimage until of late from 15,000 to 20,000 have visited the place each year. Holy Hill is a lofty and grandly picturesque place near Hartford, about 30 miles from Milwaukee. The hill has gained great fame as a shrine of sacred pilgrimage. Its popularity has become so great in recent years that its renown has no parallel among the institutions of its kind anywhere in the United States. The history of Holy Hill is a long series of remarkable events, and through, in innumerable power which is deed it to provide its sacred precincts the lame walk, the blind see, the maniac raves no more and the afflicted who approach its shrine with zeal and fervent supplications, devoutly invoking divine aid and the intercession of Mary, the mother of God, are said to depart therefrom, in many CHURCH instances. happy over the miraculous acquiescence of an unseen power in their prayerful petitions. There are few places in southern Wisconsin whose beauty transcends that of Holy Hill and the surrounding country. It is located about six miles southeast of Hartford and covers a tract of ground nearly 40 acres in extent. The hill upon which the shrine proper, or chapel, is located is tall, conical shaped and towers high above the surrounding country. It rises to a height of 289 feet above its base and 827 feet above the level of Lake Michigan. The church stands on the highest point of the hill and can be seen for miles away. The building is of brick, with little ornamentation, and of the Gothic style. The church spire is on the end over the main entrance of the double doors, which open under a circular gallery attached by the ends to both sides of the church. The interior is cheerful and well lighted by the tall windows of stained glass. The roof is supported by six sanded columns, whose slender proportions increase the height and beauty of the place. The chancel is carpeted and separated from the chapel by a low latticed communion rail of wood, covered with dark cloth extending across the narrow passageways on each side. In the chancel there are one main and two side altars. The combined cost of the three altars was $1,100, which was contributed by persons interested in the welfare of the church. Back of the mensa and projecting from underneath the canopy of the main altar stands the tabernacle, built in accordance with the rules of Catholic architecture, having a double door with lock and key, ornamented in gold with grapes and heads of wheat, the emblems of the sacrament. Underneath and in front of the mensa is a figure of the Lamb of God resting on a sealed book. The candelabra and many of the accessories used in worship are the gifts of charitably disposed persons. On the left of the altar, in the main body of the church, is a confessional. A pipe organ is located in the gallery. To the right in the chancel, suspended from the side wall, hangs a square case with a glass front entitled a "votive tablet." Among the vow offerings are several pairs of spectacles left there as proofs of the efficacy of the place in curing eyes impaired by disease. There are also stored in a recess of the church a number of C.I. crucibles which have been discarded by men whose happiness has been curled. A peculiarity about the church is that no marriage ceremony has ever been solennized there nor has any funeral ever been held. Carlos' Conduct in the Lisbon Daster Won Acclamation. London.—It is not very often that we hear much of King Carlos's snug little kingdom of Portugal but he has certainly won the world's acclamation for his courage at the Lisbon disaster—coolness which averted a frightful panic when a canopy fell on a state process. The private life of Portugal is rather interesting, because it is more like that of a private gentleman than the daily round of a servant. As rises at five in the morning his ages to get all his days be mid-day, then five days, gives over the afternoon and returns to his one amusement—stock. A. (The Popular Monarch of Littie Portugal.) He has explored every corner of his kingdom in his motor car and a short time since, when driving through some out-of-the-way place, he had rather an amusing experience. Arriving at a small town, he found a crowd waiting but no one recognized him in for the chief point of interest at that moment was an old woman, who had had her basket of eggs upset by those who jostled her. The king, with his usual good nature, approached and asked what was the matter. "The king is coming through here today so these idiots are waiting to see him. One cannot even do one's daily abor with this crowd watching for a lazy fellow, who does not work and spends his time in eating. The king laughed, presented her with a com to pay for the eggs, and to remember the fat, lazy fellow by," and a moment more the royal car had vanished in a whirl of dust before anyone knew it had arrived—save one dumb-stone peasant woman.

FORD’S Poodie Pup Treated with Scorn by |: HAIR POMADE His Little Brothers. is a | El Paso, Tex.—A dog with five fect is a new El Paso curiosity, which is entitled to a high seat beside the two-headed calf, the two-faced cock and other freaks of the animal king dom. i This new freak Is the property of Policeman Harry Cherry, now of the park beat, El Paso. The dog is a poodle, coming from the best stock -and having a pedigree several yards long. “ It is a milk-white color, dark eyes, and 4 cunning grin; in fact, all the marks which characterize a high-bred poodle. But, notwithstanding all these, it has five feet, and for this reason Its two little brothers, who were brought in the world at the same Ume, have begun to take notice that there is something wrong with their playmate and brother, and In- stead of welcoming him in that broth- erly spirit characteristic of poodles, they turn the cold shoulder and kick the unfortunate one with the extra leg from the nest. The three poodle pups are now about three weeks old. Officer Cherry says he did not notice anything wrong with any of them until — he saw two of the pups fighting and whining at the other, and trying tc Push him away from them. He al first thought they were playlng. and paid no attention, but his attentior was again attracted by the same per formance, and he then noticed tha’ the pup who was beinz whipped by bis two brothers was a freak in tha’ it had five feet. The fifth foot fs joined to the lef front foot and is complete except fo: the fact that there fs no thumb. I moves with the left foot and the piy seems to possess the use of It a: with his other feet. { While the mother of the dog tool {no notfce, apparently, of the freak and treated the pup the same as th other two; the brother pups recog nized the fault as soon as they wer able to see, and ever since have bee: gnawing and fishting as if they woul have the other out of the wax. Off cer Cherry says that the conduct o the pups is remarkable in the e3 treme, for they seem to recogniz with the instinct of human* person the frailty of the little brother poodle and seem to think that they are di graced by association with him. ; FORD’S 2 Tormerly known as 7 “QZONIZED OX MARROW $ ee ah tt 6 REN LMa sehen ep, is yaews ae GLONIZED OF MARROW nad Is the caly safe preparation Enown to us ahas Takes Kinky or curs bait iralrae ss stows sbore.
