10L. XXVLNO. 31 OPEN LETTER SOME COLD FACTS: To Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Chairman of the National Republican Committee chairman of the National Committee can you expect the next contest with the president in the White House? And many more messages to the people will have to take off to read them. Why, he defies and declares that he cannot be reached. I have often heard of having the big head who held offices but I have never known President of the United States to defy his people. The counsellor Senator Foraker, and it might royal. The action of the Executive is nothing more than person of innocent men who have faithfully served this country. If the Executive had sufficient evidence possession to dismiss these troops, why did he send another to Brownville for additional evidence? President has committed a blunder, like Othell, his occupation is gone. The once great Theodore Roosevelt Napoleon has met his Waterman, I have never been deceived in and you know it. When the Ennogy race called him the Lord, I had then, as I say now, that he was and never will be a friend oppressed colored American, remember, in the contest of 1904 and that the American people regret his nomination and elect Senator Foraker is making a gree will go down in history as most Roman of them all, and if American people want a safe man White House let them nominate the son of Ohio. Your Chief Cave calls these brave black solicitors to the republic and a race to the government I ask not used. I am not surprised if he declare the United States Supreme Court unconstitutional. There are some symphants in Congress depending upon the administration for succor. And there are men stand pat and uphold the principle and fairplay although it may fall. It will be relied that the President wrote a article against the Negro, and in thereafter he repudiated it. A candidate for office then, the colored man allowed himself persuaded to vote for him, notinding his abusive articles against armed soldiers. But, this time, will be no retreat, no backtracking no forgiveness. Mr. Cortelling that Senator Ben. Tillman and nothing that the Democracy has done the colored race as much harm as Theodore His recent acts are unlawful in the history of this republic should the acts of a few men, were committed at all, operate the innocent? Why should a lumber of a Cabinet officer against them all? The man elected declares that he to any act of restoration of armed troops by Congress, and if over his veto he will test the validity of it in the United States Court. No better time present itself to the power of me, that of the President, nation sounds like rebellion. Of Executive may believe that rush these brave, colored soldiers have served the country so, but the time will come when of Theodore Roosevelt will serve. The existence of the Reparty has been due to the support the colored voters have. They have been faithful and as an evidence of their they have taken every indigent continued their adherence to triples of the party, although its been ironical to them. The not been as loyal to the Negro, and yet the Jew taken into the Cabinet of your I have nothing against the I believe they have been a per person as much as the colored man, but the former, by organization and wealth, demands more concession. The colored American, Mr. Bonn, will continue his loyalty to us but as to your President he nothing to do with him. Wish you a happy and prosperous New believe me to be, The John M. Harlan, after deliberation, has refused to permit the use of his name in connection with the Republican nomination for governor of Kentucky. Telegram to President To the Hon. Theodore Roosvelt, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. The Pennsylvania Division of the Constitution League respectfully protests against your super-heated denunciation of the colored troopers in recent message to Congress without one iota of evidence against a single man among them. We also enter emphatic protest against the unwarranted charge that he colored people are especially given to shielding criminals of their race. The colored people have never banded together in any community, either North or South, to shield a criminal. We respectfully call your attention to the fact that white men of the South have formed secret, oath-bound organizations for the especial purpose of murder and assassination and to destroy the constitutional rights and liberties of American citizens; that these murderous organizations have been operating under different guises for forty years, and that they have assassinated probably forty thousand American citizens who were charged with no offense except that of voting the Republican ticket; that these secret, oath-bound organizations cover every State in the South and embrace white men of every grade of society—not even the clergy being omitted; that the white people of the South generally rallied to the support of these murderous organizations and shielded their memories from detection and punishment; that these murderous organizations are carrying on their work even unto the present, and that the wholesale disfranchisement, the jim-crowism and the lynchings and burnings in the South are all a part of their plan of campaign to subjugate a people and destroy their civil and political rights; that these secret clans hesitate not to assassinate United States Government officials and hand together to shield and protect each other and are supported by the white people, and they have very recently seized and lynched a prisoner who was in the custody of the Supreme Court of the United States, and while the lynchers were in Washington, answering the charge of contempt before the Supreme Court of the United States, the nation was shocked by the fact that the President received and honored the lynchers at the White House. These lynchers and in fact all the hundreds of lynching hands have shielded and protected each other, fully endorsed and supported by the white people of the South. An eminent American statesman declares with reference to these secret, oath-bound, murderous organization, that with them "Murder was an occupation and perjury a pastime." As a matter of fact then no people has shielded more criminals and covered up more crimes than the white, people of the South. And in the South the blood of more innocent men and women slain by brutal red-handed white clans, cries from the ground unto the vengeance of God than in all the other parts of the country taken together. We further would especially beseech a modicum of your indulgent sympathy for the colored womanhood of the South. It is a fact that about five hundred colored women in the South, many of them girls of tender years, are outraged and destroyed by white men where one white woman is outraged by a colored man. These five hundred colored women and girls are absolutely without redress. They are entitled to consideration. A gentleman of national character has recently stated through the public press that, "While it is true that a Negro has occasionally outraged a white woman, it should not be forgotten that the white men of the South have raped a race." We would respectfully state further that the Constitution League has no sympathy for criminals of any class, whether white or colored; but it believes in the axiom of a "square deal" for all men, and that the condemnation and punishment of a man without proof of guilt or due process of law is the essence of lynch law. Yours very respectfully, Wm. A. Sinclair, President. N. F. Mossell, Cor. Secretary. As it is, Mr. Stewart's friends think they perceive a chance of his securing the nomination for Assemblyman. In the first place, as has been said, the Afro-American Republican vote of the Thirteenth outnumbers the white Republican vote. In the second place, Mr. Stewart's services and ability have given him a very unusual strength with the influential men of the regular organization. There is no doubt by either whites or Afro-Americans of his capacity to represent his district with satisfaction. WASHINGTON What I Saw And Heard WHAT I SAW AND HEARD I have never been more disgusted in my life than I am now. There are some people in this country who would like to be known and styled as the leaders of the colored race. Some colored men, especially, ought to know that office-holding does not constitute leadership. If it were left with the people, many colored men who have held and many who are holding office today would be weighed in the balance and found wanting. It is amusing to sit and listen to many of these would-be leaders relate what they have done and what they can do. I dropped in Attorney Frisby's office a few days ago and found him busy as usual. I admire Attorney Frisby He is a thorough race man. My old friend Capt. J. W. Lyons is moving along as usual. He is looking to 1908 with a satisfaction that seems a certainty to him. The tall pine of Augusta has but little to say, but he predicts a day of reckoning. Teddy ought to have made friends with the Captain; he will be needed next December. Well, my old friend Daniel H.Brooks is married at last. I never dreamed that Dan would step across the river MR. ANDREW GLFASON THE LEADER OF THE DISTRICT B. H. of love and hunt a sweet pineapple this time of the year. Well, we should never be surprised in life. The most handsome present was from Mr. and Mrs. Dancy. It was the center of attraction and admiration. The employees of the Recorder's Office wondered where it was secured. The Hon. John P. Green is sawing wood in Ohio. John will make Rome bowl in 1908. Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke in South Carolina last week. I shall wait further developments before I comment on his speech. We can't always believe the press reports. I would like to know what authority has the Superintendent of Schools over teachers who violate the law. If a teacher commits an offense in the presin a better condition than they are today. I must congratulate Attorney T. L. Jones on his fight for Rev. J. Anderson Taylor. If Rev. Waldron takes Sililoh Church he will have an elephant upon his houlders. The moneyed people are with Rev. Taylor. When I say the moneyed people I mean the people who are not afraid of their pocketbooks. These are the people who paid the church debts. Th office-holding class believe in coming to church on a dress parade. They had a very little to give the church. I am surprised at Rev. Waldron. I don't believe that he would come to a divided church. If he does, the best evidence in the world is that he can't be doing as well in Florida as Mr. Porter stated in his letter to The Bee a few weeks ago. JUSTICE CALLAN APPOINTED. Will Hold Juvenile Court in Absence of Judge De Lacy. Justice of the Peace Thomas H. Callan has been appointed by Justice Stafford, of the District Supreme Court, as judge pro tem. of the District Juvenile Court for 1907. The appointment was made under the act of Congress creating the Juvenile Court. Mr. Callan was named to take Justice William H. De Lacy's place in the Juvenile Court in the event that the latter, by sickness or unavoidable absence, should be unable to preside over the court. AN ABSURD CHALLENGE Had any other President of the United States except Theodore Roosevelt threatened to defy an order of Congen passed in opposition to his wishes in advance of such action, challenge the House of Representatives, and peach him, the whole nation would be been ablaze with excitement. Instee nobody is in the least degree disturi Mr. Roosevelt's challenge seems have been as deliberate as his active usually are, which is the say that it is the instantaneous product of a heedful impulse. Assuming a group of administration correspondents "Saturday he proceeded to justify his dismiss without honor of a battalion of the 22 Intantry and to defy Congress to ournturn his work. The newspapers agree substantially as to what he said. A quote from the Press report, because is a Republican newspaper: "The President even went to a length of saying not only that Coress should vote for the restatement of these colored soldiers he would vi such legislative actions but that if Coress repassed such a bill over 1 veto he would see treat that the ord THE ONE BIG RREPUBLICAN CT OF COLUMBIA. never reached executive approval or enforcement. He asserted that if Congress in the extremity of the controversy should see fit to unpeach him for his attitude he gladly would welcome such action on its part." Yet we are told that if the Senate orders an investigation the President will promptly submit all the evidence in his possession, which is quite the proper thing to do. He has already sent an Assistant Attorney General to Brownville to make a legal inquiry into the facts, which is his usual way. First he lynches the suspected person, then he conducts an investigation to see if evidence cannot be obtained which would have justified a grand jury in indicting the accused. Should Congress in the end decide that the President was wrong in dismissing the whole battalion, Mr Roosevelt will yield as gracefully as he did in the matter of simplified spelling He is always on the point of dying in the last ditch, only to discover that there is a much more comfortable ditch farther on; that there is really no reason for anybody to die: that a just and honorable peace can be arranged without difficulty, and that it would be absurd to continue this particular war when there are so many more important things to fight about. Every Congressman remembers Mr. Roosevelt's ominous threats to veto the Rate Bill if his wishes were ignored. The Senate amended the bill to suit itself, the President promptly signed it, and congratulated the country on the admirable measure that had been enacted at his instance. He flayed Representative Wadsworth for venturing to tamper with the official meat-inspection bill, and ended by accepting all the committee's amendments. He has had half a dozen disputes with Congress, which were gravely heralded as threatening the severance of relations between the White House and the Capitol. These relations have gone on now for five years without serious interference. Mr. Roosevelt is always the irresistible force which would annihilate the immovable body if it could spare the tine. In this case his wrath seems directed not against Congress, but against Senator Foraker. Yet even Foraker may be right occasionally, though, as the Scotchman said, "with a knavish Intent." In any case, what could be more ridiculous than for the President of the United States to challenge Con- I am sorry, but the image is too blurry to recognize any specific text content. The only text present is "I am sorry for the lack of text." It is not clear what content to extract from the image. ready to agree upon any man except Carson. Finally no agreement could be reached. So Senator Hanua appointed Col M. M. Parkin, which subsequently resulted in the defeat of Carson and Gleason in the contest that nominated President McKinley and the continuance of Coloel Parkin on the National Committee for the District of Columbia in that contest Chase and Jones were elected on the Rayburn and Lee ticket. Mr. Gleason in this contest was silent, but he endorsed Jones. Ever since the St Louis convention the political influence of both Gleason and Carson was on the downward road. Gleason was not an admirer of President Roosevelt. He did not believe in his policy, hence he became inactive in political contests in the District of Columbia. Mr. Gleason always was a Republican and he contributed liberally to the campaign funds of the party. The suit recently brought by a jeweler of this city against Representative Blackburn for balance due on a diamond ring has been settled. M. Dr. A. M. Curtis has returned from Nashville, Tenn., where he went to give lectures and to hold surgical clinics at Meharry Medical College. He had some very difficult surgical operations which he skillfully performed with credit to himself and the medical profession in general. The daily papers of Nashville spoke in glowing terms of Dr. Curtis' surgical ability. This was his first appearance at this medical school, and reports from those who observed his work there say that he ranks with the very best as a surgeon and clinical lecturer. He made such a favorable impression on the medical faculty and the student body that he has been invited to re-Continued on 4th Page. A human hand was a Christmas present that Charles Casson, at Cleeland, Ohio, received this week. Henry Newman, who was the founder of the cotton firm of H. & C. Newman, died at the age of sixty-eight years at his home in New Orleans, La., this week. The tenth annual meeting of the American Negro Academy convened last Wednesday in the Small Chapel of Howard University. The funeral services of Mrs. Henrietta Lee, the wife of Rev. George W. Lee, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, took place Monday afternoon at one o'clock from the Church. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. M. W. D. Norman. John Bauln, Jr., secretary of the Brighton Racing Association, died at Saranac, N. Y., this week. Miss Jennie Smith, "the railroad evangelist," had charge of the service—morning, afternoon and evening—last Sunday at the Brookland Methodist Episcopal Church. Senator Newlands, of Nevada, has arrived in Berlin, to visit Frau von Breedow, his daughter. CICERO M. RICHARDSON PASSES AWAY—AN OCTOGENAR- Mr. Cicero M. Richardson, father of Dr George H. and Alexander Richard-on, passed over to the great beyond on Friday night, December 14, at his home, in Saybrook, Ohio. He was 89 years old and his death was due to old age and general breaking down. The deceased came to Cleveland, Ohio, from North Carolina when a young man, and was a master mechanic. Many of the older plasterers and mason's of the city received their training under him. His wife was the sister of Bishop Cicero Robert Harris, of North Carolina, of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Besides the two brothers above mentioned, Mr. Richardson left two sons, Messrs Garret and Albert Richardson, both telegraph operators in the employ of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, Collinwood, Ohio, and two daughters, Mrs. Florence Shauter, who has resided in Saybrook the past few years in order to look after her father. The members of his family here have the sympathy of the entire community. "Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh." P. S.—Just received a telegram that Albert Richardson, the youngest brother, has been stricken with paralysis and is seriously ill. Prompted by the increase of drunkenness among juveniles, Maj. Richard Sylvester has recommended to the District Commissioners that the existing law be amended so as to make it a punishable offense for any person to purchase or to procure liquor for minors. NEW YORKER TO EXPERIMENT ON A LARGE SCALE. Financier Claims Cross Between Horse and Zebra Greatly Superior to Animal New in Domestic Use His Purpose Explained. New York.—From zebras which he has imported at great expense Warner M. Van Norden, president of the Van Norden Trust company of this city, entertains great hopes that the zebroid (as the hybrid offspring of the horse and zebras called), will come to be generally and favorably known in this country. "The zebroid," explained Mr. Van Norden the other day, "makes an excellent all around animal for domestic use and I hope to introduce it in this country. It is already used in South Africa, where it has given satisfaction. I cannot say just how speedy the zebroid will be but those I shall raise will be from the finest stock, especially suited for driving purposes. These animals are much more strong and vigorous than the horse and live about twice as long. They will rank with any of the horses in general use to day and in value will range from $500 to $1,000. They will be very tough and able to endure twice the hardship the average horse can stand." The parents, perhaps, of generations of American zebroids yet unborn are now contentedly munching hay in the barn at Mr. Van Norden's country place at Rye, N. Y., all conscious of the weight of the responsibility resting upon their carefully groomed backs. In temporary quarters in one barr are three zebras, said to be among the finest of their species ever brought to this country. One of them is declared to be a genuine Grevy's zebra from Abyssinia and this animal alone is valued by Mr. Van Norden at $5,000. The other two zebras belong to what is known as the Bohmil class. Two more, equally as valuable as those now in Rye, have been captured for Mr. Van Norden and will be shipped to this country early next spring. These animals are about six years old and, inasmuch as the life of the average zebra is about 50 years, they are as yet mere bables and are full of more life and tricks than young colts. So much for the zebra parents of the zebrolds. Their parents on the other side will range from a full-blooded Arablan mare down to little burro jennles, through a list of horse-flesh including piebald, hackney and mustang. The zebrolds will owe their appearance in this country, however, not so much to Mr. Van Norden's desire to raise them for themselves alone as to his determination to solve the problem of telegony. He is determined to demonstrate whether it is real, as breeders of blood stock assert, or whether it is a vagary of the breeder's mind, as scientists declare. Explaining the object of his undertaking, Mr. Van Norden said: "All breeders believe in telegony. It has always been their claim that if a female animal is bred to one of a different species but of the same family and is afterward bred to one of her own species the second offspring will show resemblance to the first sire. Opposed to the claim of the breeders is that of the scientists, who say there is no such thing as telegony and that the breeders are mistaken in their diagnosis. "A man who stands near the head of the scientists in their contention that there is nothing in the breeders' fear of telegony is Prof. W. Ewart, of Edinburgh university, and for years he has conducted experiments to support the correctness of his theories. Prof. Ewart is now experimenting with pigeons and rabbits. He asserts that no one has ever gone into the subject of telegony in such a manner as clearly to demonstrate the truth or falsity of the many claims made concerning it. The experiments of Prof. Ewart and others have thrown some light on the subject, but there is still much to be learned." Pays for Hole in Carpet. Jefferson City, Mp.—The state supreme court affirmed the decision of the trial court in awarding Mrs. Sallie Nephler, of Kansas City, $5,000 for injuries received in a fall caused by catching her foot in a hole in a Kansas City theater carpet. The decision says: "This is a somewhat unusual case. A hole in a carpet is not ordinarily such a menace to either life or limb as would justify the court in assuming it to be dangerous to persons passing over it. The question of whether it was in this instance of such character that the proprietors of the theater ought to have recognized it as a danger to their patrons and have guarded against it was a question of fact for the jury." Order Girls from Matrimonial Club. Sterling, Ill.—"Please send us 20 marriageable girls from your club. We can place them to their advantage." While these are not the exact words, they express the spirit of a proposition received by the Girls' Matrimonial club of Rock Falls from the Men's Want to Marry club of Nettinger, Idaho. The girls' club was organized to vote on whom each member should marry. They maintain they did not form the club with a view to furnishing wives by the wholesale and to ship them out of the state. Similar propositions have been received from other western states, although this is the first job lot order sent to the club. --- COK. 7th & EYE STREETS, N. W.

PENSIONS OLD FRIEND CARNEGIE TAKES SCHOOLMATE FROM POORHOUSE.

New York—Mrs. Harrison Lee of Melbourne, Australia, who is now in this country in the interests of world reforms, is the owner of a most remarkable gown. The fabric is soft white satin, and it is made with a plain skirt and waist. The distinctive feature of the garment is its notable, decoration. This is done in oil prints and represents the coat of arms of Australia in rich ADMIRANCE AUSTRALIA MRS. HARRISON LEE. (Australian Woman and Her Remarkable Gown.) and appropriate hues. The ostrich and the kangaroo are part of the design, which is surmounted by sprays of brilliant flowers and underlined by the motto of the national Australian federation: "Advance, Australia." These words also appear on the blue satin sash which is fastened on Mrs. Lee's right shoulder by a gold clasp, representing the Southern Cross, and passes over to the wearer's left side, where its folds are knotted to hang from the waist. This costume was presented to Mrs. Lee by friends in her native land, and is often worn by her when delivering addresses before organizations interested in reform movements. For many years Mrs. Lee has taken a leading part in public reforms of Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain. As a woman voter, accustomed to act in the political affairs of her native land, she is a figure of uncommon interest to her unenfranchised sisters in America. MISSION LANDMARK IN TEXAS. Structure at Goliad Is Almost as Ancient as the Alamo- San Antonio, Tex.—One of the best preserved landmarks of the early days of the republic of Texas is LaBahla mission at Gollad. This structure is almost as ancient as the Alamo, having been built in 1720. It was used as a stronghold by the patriots in the early days of the republic of Texas and was the scene of the Fannin massacre a few days after the fall of the Alamo. The mission building is now being used for church purposes and is in a fair state of preservation. For a time the mission building was under the care of DeZayala chapter, Daughters of the Republic, but when the Alamo purchase and preservation proposition came urgently to the fore, interest in LaBahla flagged. It is probable the Gollad chapter of the or- La Bahla Mission. organization will take over the care of the mission. The Gollad organization is called LaBahla after the mission. Miss Myra Lott, of Gollad, is president of the chapter and Miss Kate Davis, also of Gollad, is vice president. Was No 'Prentice Hahd On one occasion Mr. Copeland, instructor in English at Harvard, was expostulating with a student for his idleness, when the latter said: "It's of no use finding fault; I was cut out for a loafer." "Well," replied the instructor, surveying him critically from head to foot, "whoever cut you out understood his business." Motors Used for Hauling Logs. It is in the forests of Canada where the biggest motors in the world are seen. They have been specially designed for hauling logs over snow and rough roads. One of these machines is capable of dragging a train of 200 tons weight of logs at a speed of 12 miles an hour. Old Man Still Sprightly. Recently, while W. D.

Unwritten Law of Montezuma Is That All Residents Shall Breed Chickens or Be Excluded from Society. Montezuma, Ia.—"Love me, love my lien," is the motto which could be written with propriety over an illuminated gateway to this little town. If you do not raise chickens you cannot live in the town, enjoy its society or send your children to school. A few have tried to live in Montezuma without engaging in the poultry industry either for pleasure or profit, but they have always found their dislike for chickens growing into a sort of barrier against friendly intercourse with their neighbors and they came to be almost social outcasts. Their children were hooted at school, called "snobs" and told that their parents were too lazy to work or raise chickens. These unpleasant conditions and real ostracism from the society of Montezuma were endured long, but at last the victims yielded. A delivery man left a jag of lumber and a few rods of wire netting and several mysterious boxes, from which flitted nolsy, clucking and crowing chickens. The next day the family joined the chicken raisers and took its place in society. This little town raises more chickens per capita than any other town in America. Here everybody who is "anybody" raises poultry. The back yards of every resident are dotted with chicken houses and exercise pens, while the town is practically hedged in with chicken farms. Every householder, man, woman and child, knows how to breed, hatch, rear, feed and care for broilers, roasters, layers and exhibition fowls; how to build sheds, coops, brooders and houses for large and small assortments of chickens. Almost every man and woman is a specialist on diseases of poultry, knows how much red pepper to give and when to use real castor oil. Those who believe that dead chickens are the only good variety to have on the place simply cannot live here. Gardening is mingled with the lost arts. There is little to do but raise poultry. The industry has woven itself with the affairs of life here until social evenings, as well as the meetings of the town council, are given over to discussions of the poultry industry and the rights of owners. Montezuma is a big incubator and brooder for the poultry markets of the northwest. FORTY PORKEIS FALL IN WELL. iowa Farmer Learns Strange Fate of $800 Worth of Hogs. Sac City, Ia.—John Patterson, a farmer living in Sac county, near here, is mourning the loss of 40 fine porkers, all of which fell into, an abandoned well while being chased through some woods. The animals had broken out and made their way to an old wild artichoke field, where they remained about a week. Patterson finally got on their trail, and as he approached them they started off in single file, with an old boar leading the way. Buried in the woods was an old clearing, in the center of which was a well, covered over by thin and rotten boards. The old boar led the way direct for this spot, and as he stepped on the top, he fell through. There was a loud splash, as well as a squeal, and before he could stop his gait the second porker followed the first. Every hog in the line of 40 fell into the old well before the farmer came up. There was no use to try to seek some manner of rescue, for the water had completely swallowed up every hog. There was over $800 worth of hog flesh in the herd which met such a strange death. FINES FATHER AND MAYOR. Young Prosecutor Even Made Out a Warrant for His Own Arrest. New Britain, Conn.—This city boasts a Spartan prosecuting attorney in Charles H. Mitchell. He fined his own father for not keeping his sidewalk clean. He fined the mayor, too. As the supreme exhibition of his civic courage Prosecutor Mitchell issued a warrant for himself, but it was not served. A policeman read "Charles Mitchell" from a long list of citizens who had not cleaned their sidewalks of slush. The Spartan prosecutor thought he was the offender, but it proved to be his father, Charles H. Mitchell, who was United States patent commissioner under President Cleveland. Mayor Landers also displayed noble public spirit. Said he to Mr. Mitchell, after pleading guilty in court. "The policeman who served the warrant told me that, being the mayor, I could settle this case by paying a two dollar fine. I do not like the idea of being treated more leniently than anybody else." "Do not worry," exclaimed Papa Mitchell, arising among the spectators. "Don't worry, Landers. You'll not get off too easily. Why, he has even hauled up his dad." The mayor's wish was granted; he paid the same fine as the others. JORDAN'S WATER FOR AMERICA. First Consignment Has Been Made for Baptismal Use in Churches. Parls.—Water from the river Jordan is soon to be sent to New York for distribution, throughout the country, an expedition the Holy Land for the purpose of barreling large quantities of it having been successfully finished. The first consignment, consisting of 50 casks, has already left Jaffa, and as soon as this reaches port in Europe it will be reshipped to America. Extraordinary precautions have been taken to insure absolute purity and cleanliness by boiling the water before it was put in the casks on the very spot where St. John baptized Christ. Great difficulties were encountered in getting the water by Col. Clifford Nadaud, who headed the expedition, as there were no casks to be had in Palestine, so that he had to have them made in Asia Minor. Then he had to make his own wagons and devise his own methods of purification in the midst of the wilderness. The water will be drunk as well as used for baptismal purposes, and if American churches support the enterprise, other consignments will be made. The Sleep of Butterflies. Washington.—The scientists in the employ of Uncle Sam are forever making queer experiments tending more or less to the extension of scientific knowledge. The oddest, perhaps, of experiments of late years has been those conducted by an official of the botanic gardens, who has been watching the sleep of butterflies. The official contends that butterflies are rendered secure from their enemies at night by reason of their peculiar colors and markings. Thus, large red and brown butterflies, with silvery spots on the under side of their wings, which are conspicuous by day can hardly be distinguished at night when sleeping on golden rods and other flowers that form their favorite roosts. At such times their bright wing colors blend with the hues of the flowers, while the silvery spots glisten like the dewdrops around them. Substitute Soap for Eggs. Berlin.-Soap is used by German bakers as a cheap substitute for eggs in the "swieback" rolls which are sold for infants and invalids. A store-keeper made this alarming statement when he was prosecuted by the public health department for violating the pure food laws. "Extract of Zwieback" sold by him was found on analysis to contain 2.7 per cent of pure soap. ```markdown ``` PREACHER SOLVES RIDDLE. Declares Sphinx Has Given Him Message He Won't Reveal. Binghamton, N. Y.-Baffling the wise men of the ages for untold centuries the Sphinx' stone face has at last given up its mysterious message to Rev. Dr. J. W. Phillips, a noted archaeologist and pastor of one of the largest churches of the state, if the announcement made by him to-day proves correct. By special invitation he will give his answer to "The Riddle of the Sphinx" at the spring meeting of American Archaeological society of New York. Dr. Phillips spent a year in excavating among the Egyptian ruins and brought to America many inscriptions which he has since translated at his leisure. This study has led to what he believes to be the successful solution of the world's greatest riddle. Dr. Phillips said to day that he is not yet ready to make public the details of his discovery. He said, however, that in substance his answer to the riddle proves that the ancient Egyptians were monotheists and not pantheists and that the Sphinx is a stone embodiment of their religious beliefs. In answer to correspondence from him he has received appreciative letters from American Archaeological society an om Dr. Budges, curator of the department of Egyptology in the British museum and secretary of the British society, congratulating him upon what the writers say the believe is a solution of the riddle of ages. Washington.—Gold is produced in 21 states in the union, silver in 23 states, and the United States leads the world in silver production and comes second in the output of gold, according to the statement, covering the year 1905, issued by the burean of the mint and the geological survey, which are cooperating in determining the output of gold and silver in the United States. The total value for the world for 1905 was: Gold, $376,289,200; silver, 157,339,962 fine ounces. According to the report, gold and silver both are produced in eight of the southern states, as follows: Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The total number of ounces of gold produced was 4,265,742, and the commercial value of the silver produced was $34,221,978. The most important changes in gold production are shown by Alaska, which advances from $9,160,500 in 1904 to $14,925,600 in 1905. Colorado shows an increase from $24,385,800 in 1904 to $25,701,100 in 1905, due to freedom from labor troubles. Nevada shows a gain from $4,307,800 in 1904 to $5,359,100 in 1905 and a gain in silver from 2,695,100 to 5,863,500 fine ounces. The total output of silver is about 1,500,000 ounces under that of the previous year, the three heaviest producers, Colorado, Montana and Utah, all showing a decline. PLAYS WITH TITLE TO FORTUNE. Boy Shoos Chickens With Lease of Real Estate Worth Millions. Milwaukee.—Millions lost because an ancient lease, considered worthless, was used as a plaything by children, is the story told by Henry Forncrook, who was supposed to hold the paper upon which the Forncrook heirs all over the country depended to prove their claim to 160 acres of land in the heart of New York city, worth to-day at least $15,000,000. Henry Forncrook is now 84 years of age, and a member of the National Soldiers' home. He recalls that as a boy he rolled the lease into a club and drove chickens with it, and also used it as a spelling book. One day he took it to a cave, where he and other boys had a rendezvous, and that is the last he remembers of the document upon which hinge to-day the fortunes of people all over the United States. No one paid any attention to the loss of the document at that time, as it was considered worthless for the reason alone that the land was considered worthless. The title was clear enough. PHONOGRAPH DEFIES A CITY. Trenton's Sollicitor and Police Baffled by Harassing Music. Trenton, N. J. - City Solicitor Charles E. Bird and Capt. John J. Cleary held a conference the other day in an effort to find some way to silence the big phonograph which has been making life miserable for residents and business men in the vicinity of State and Broad streets, the center of the city. Complaint as to the nerve-destroying power of the machine has been made by the clerical force of the city board of assessors in city hall, just opposite. They allege that it is impossible to figure correctly when such melodies as "Keep on the Sunny Side" and "Moon Dear" are being poured into their ears. Counsellor William J. Backes has offices adjoining and he complains that his reading of Blackstone is impossible while the racket is going on. The city authorities are hopeful that they can make the "anti-noise" ordinance fit the case and some action will likely be taken by the common council. PRIDE OF THE NAVY NORFOLK HAS GLORIOUS PLACE IN NATION'S HISTORY. Vessels From There Lowered Colors of England's Fleets—Scene of Flerce Sea Battle During War of Rebellion. Washington.—One of the most important supplementary attractions that visitors to the Jamestown Tercentennial exposition will have an opportunity to see is the Norfolk navy yard, which many people may be surprised to know is not located in Norfolk at all but just across the Elizabeth river in Portsmouth. The naval training station attached to the navy yard is however, located in Berkley, on the left side of the Elizabeth, which is now part of Norfolk. The naval glory of the United States is inseparably, connected with the Norfolk navy yard. From this yard have gone forth the great naval captains who have alone been able to lower the colors of England's navy. It was here that the Merrimac, or Virginia, was sunk in the general destruction of government property when the federal authorities evacuated Norfolk in 1861. She was later repaired and armored to fight a battle with the Monitor which changed the character of naval architecture throughout the world. The first dry dock ever used by a ship of the line was constructed here and that ship, the Delaware, was placed in it on June 17, 1833, the fifty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Bunker hill. The dock was built of stone and was at that time considered a magnificent specimen of that class of work. The occasion of its opening was made a general holiday in Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity and crowds flocked to Portsmouth from many miles around. Speeches were made by citizens of Delaware, the federal authorities and navy yard officials. The Delaware was one of the first ships of the line ever built for the United States government. She was a 74 gun ship and was the second of that name, the first having been a 24 gun vessel. She was begun in 1818 under the superintendence of Captain Arthur Sinclair, who had been detailed from the navy department for that purpose. She was launched in October, 1820, amid general rejoicing. After the completion of her hull she was housed over, not being required for immediate service. After this she was fitted out and made several cruises. At the outbreak of the civil war she was again in the Norfolk navy yard along with several other vessels. When the federal officers decided to evacuate Norfolk and the government property was destroyed the Delaware was sunk along with the Pennsylvania. Merrimac and several others. Of great interest to visitors to the Norfolk navy yard is the trophy park. Even those who have been around battle ships and naval shops all their lives find interest in the grim relics of American victories arranged there. The chief and largest objects of interest are, of course, the cannon, torpedo tube and torpedoes captured from the Spanish during the Spanish-American war. Under the heavy trees of great age which shadow the trophy park stands with all its equipment a 14-centimeter rifle taken from the wreck of Admiral Cervera's flagship, the Oquendo, after the battle of July 3, 1898, at Santiago. A level twisted out of shape and a rod broken there shows all too plainly the damage done by American fire. Grouped about the flagstaff in the center of the yard are specimens of the armor of the ram Texas and the Albemarle. At one side of the park are the torpedo tubes taken from the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes during the Spanish-American war. There are relics of famous American ships and trophies from British, French, Spanish, Chinese, Mexican, South American and Turkish ordnance shops. Perhaps the most curious trophy of all is the ancient Turkish cannon ball more than a foot in diameter which came from Constantinople. These trophies of past achievements are the strongest incentive to future deeds in those belonging to the naval branch and an equally strong incentive to loftier patriotism in those who do not. SIGN NO-ELOPEMENT PLEDGE. Church Members Promise to Refrain from Runaway Marriages. Pittsburg, Pa.—"We, the undersigned members of the Young Woman's circle of the First English Lutheran church, do solemnly promise that we will not be parties to any elopements, such as has already become too common in our society. If we should choose such a method of assuming matrimonial bonds, we hereby relinquish all rights to the linen shower which it has been customary to give our newly wedded members." The above agreement has been signed by 52 out of the 70 members of the Young Woman's Mission circle and will be forwarded to the remaining 18 members for their signatures. The reason is that last summer no less than 12 church members eloped, and, as it has been a custom of the society to give each newly wedded bride from its number a linen shower, the treasury was seriously embarrassed. --- THE BEE PUBLISHED AT 100 Eye St., N.

Elaborate Reception Tendered the Rev. D. J. Jenkins by His Home Citizens Upon His Return from Europe. Charleston,-S. C., Dec. 21, 1906. Special Correspondence. In the spacious amphitheater of the Zion Presbyterian Church, with an audience of more than fifteen hundred people, one of the greatest demonstrations ever tendered a citizen was given the Rev. D. J. Jenkins, president of the Jenkins Orphanage and Reformatory, Charleston, S. C., by his home citizens; the occasion being his second return from Europe, where he visited England, Scotland, Wales and France in behalf of the institutions of which he is the founder. The principal addresses of welcome were delivered by Mr. T. L. Grant, county chairman of the Republican party, and Hon. Dr. W. D. Crum. Collector of the Port, the former in behalf of the Orphanage and Charleston Messenger, the latter in behalf of the citizens. The musical numbers, which were rendered by the best local talent, were of exceptional interest. The appreciation by the audience of the work in which the Rev. D. J. Jenkins is engaged was manifested by the enthusiasm exhibited whenever reference to his work and name were made. When the Orphanage Man (as he is generally known in Charleston and in South Carolina) arose to respond to the addresses of welcome, the immense audience spontaneously arose and greeted him with their handkerchiefs. Never in the history of this old aristocratic city was there given an ovation to a home, citizen, a public benefactor, such as this one. In his response the Rev. Jenkins related incidents in his travels and explained that his trip was a tour of inspection in which he visited nearly all of the orphanages and reformatories in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, to gain information as to how such institutions are conducted over there. He stated that his experiences would be put in operation in the near future and much of the valuable information that he has received during his travels will be put into effect at his institution. After the concert an elaborate spread was laid, at which prominent citizens feasted. One hundred extra police have been sworn in to prevent any repetition of the riots of September. Its Origin—How Porduced—Its Effect on Man and Beast—What It Is and How It Is Divided: By Mrs. Arabella V. Chase. The first record we have of music, is found in Genesis, fourth chapter, 21st verse, where Jubal is mentioned as the "father of all who handle the harp and organ." Then again in First Chron., 25th chapter, 1st verse. Finding music thus recorded, it necessarily takes position in the front rank of art and science. An inconceivable number and design of instruments have been and are still made for the production of music. All kinds of manufactured instruments belong to one of the three classes. The harp and violin belong to the string; the cornet and the organ to the wind; the timbrel and drum to the percussion class. The voice stands alone and yet it is easily classed with the wind instruc € 10 MRS. ARABELL. VIRGINIA CHASE AUTHORESS, COMPOSER AND WRITER. Not one of the instruments for producing music is more delicate and complicated in structure, susceptible to bad management, nor greater durability, when properly used, than the voice. Handled with the greatest care, no other instrument except the voice can be guaranteed to last a life's time, be that life long or short. There is a decided difference between music and noise, it matters not by what instrument it is made. The effect of music upon man or beast differs, for its powers are beyond description. The singing of two hundred men and women in the vast congregation of people, who returned from Babylon, Ezra second chapter, 65th verse, was soothing and made the burdens of the people lighter. When the sweet lullaby of a mother fails to lull the infant to rest something is very wrong with the infant and medical treatment may be necessary. In the thickest of a battle when the strength of the fighters is all but gone the sound of the bugler's horn arouses the dying man to superhuman actions. Musical sounds arrest the attention of the lower animals and they are affected very much in the same manner that men are. Since music is invisible it is necessary to represent it, and this is done by characters called notes. These vary in appearance and value. To properly use the characters, one becomes an artist, for the home of music is in the catalogue of Arts, and the executor of music becomes an artist. By a systematic arrangement of the characters, a succession of sounds are formed. Too much stress cannot be placed on rhythm for the intended effect is spoiled if attention to time is neglected. Indeed one of the most sublime attractions to Mr. Coleridge Taylor when conducting one of his own compositions, is his own accuracy in rhythm. The basis of melody is the scale and this represents sounds. A continuous monotone without an accompaniment varying in pitch would become objectionable. But by changing the pitch the sound becomes musical and produces a melody. Just as the voice is the natural instrument, all other instruments are artificial, so the diatonic differs from the chromatic. The Germans, and they are authority, consider the minor scale more smooth and gentle than the major. If the tones are pure the force may not injure them; and still some attention must be given to the dynamic department of music. A musical selection may have its sweetness marred by a misapplication of dynamics. The performer must feel the inspiration of the music in order to give the proper expression. All the foregoing thoughts give rise to the question: What is music? Music is the resultant of uniform regular vibrations of sonorous bodies. The sounds are alike in duration, intensity and recur at equal intervals of time. If the number of vibrations be increased in a given time the sound is sharpened. If the number be diminished in a given time the music becomes flattened. Music then is the harmonious blending of sounds, having the property of pitch so arranged as to please the ear. Two general divisions include all music. That made by the vibrations of the vocal cords, caused by the passage of a current of air is the music of nature and is known as vocal music. Dame nature has bestowed on woman the finest quality of vocal cords and at the expiration of seventy years after the overthrow of Tyre the sweetness of the voice of woman is mentioned. Under the head of artificial is all the music not vocal. Great skill is required in rendering, acceptibly, vocal or instrumental music, and thrice happy is he whose soul responds to the enchanting influence of the sweet strains of music. A SPLENDID RECORD numbers, they will never have a repi-Made by Mrs. Ida G. Richardson.. Attendance Officer—A New Department of School Work Well Rep- At the beginning of the school year a new feature was introduced into the school system of the District of Columbia, namely, the appointment of Attendance Officers, more commonly known as "Truant Officers," whose duty it is to look after those children of school age who remain away from school and compel them to attend. When it was learned that the office of attendance officers would be created this year, Mrs. Richardson, one of the best-known and most highly cultured of our women, a splendid representative of the race, sent in an application, and, greatly to her surprise and pleasure, through the influence of friends, received the appointment, notwithstanding the fact that there were a number of other women in the race. It might be well to add here that in her position above named Mrs. Richardson and her associate of the other race are practically in a class by themselves, as the writer has no knowledge of any other woman in the United States holding a similar position, as such places are usually filled by men. It is generally conceded that Mrs. Richardson is the right person for the right place. She is clothed with all the authority of the law, being provided with a badge and a key to the patrol box, so that she may call up the police station at any time it becomes necessary. The success which has attended her efforts thus far has been remarkable, and she has been highly praised by the Superintendent of Public Schools, Dr. Chancellor, and others in control. That Mrs. Richardson, with the aid of the different police stations, is doing splendid and effective work which speaks for itself, is self-evident from the fact that the school population has already been increased to 1,000, and the scarcity of children on the streets during school hours is noticeable. While they love her, yet the children stand in awe of "Policeman" Richardson. On October 5, 1906, Mrs. Richardson received the following from the Board of Education: To Whom It May Concern: Ida G. Richardson was, on the 12th of September, elected by the Board of Education Attendance Officer in the District of Columbia, pursuant to the terms of Public Act No. 203, approved by the two houses of Congress June the 8th, 1906. In The Star of October 19 appeared an interesting article headed "Two Mothers in Court, Charged with, Failing to Send Their Children to School. Two mothers were defendants in the Police Court today, charged with failure to send their children to school. Mrs. Richardson was the prosecuting witness." Born and reared in Washington, where she received her shool training, taught, and married, Mrs. Richardson has a warm place in the hearts of the citizens of this city, who are glad to welcome her back again in an official capacity. May success attend her every effort! She is worthy and deserving. CORDOZA REINSTATED. The Board of Education at a meeting held in the Franklin Building on Wednesday afternoon reinstated as supervising principal, Mr. Cordoza. He will now be given an investigation, and if found guilty he will be dismissed. If what is charged against Mr. Cordoza be true he should be suspended pending an investigation. It is not believed that the Board of Education is not in possession of the necessary data to convict the principal. It is claimed that the letters alleged to have been written by Mr. Cordoza are in the possession of Superintendent Chancellor and they will be produced at the trial. BOYS' REFORM SCHOOL The colored people in this city demand representation on the Board of Trustees of the Reform School of the District of Columbia. Nine-tenths of the offenders that are sent to that institution are colored youths. The Bee is informed that these lads are allowed to attend school once within ten days. They are also compelled to dig foundations and do other laborious work. There should be at least three colored representative citizens on the trustee board. These citizens would certainly take more interest in the colored youths than the white trustees who have no interest in them at all. Will the President give us representation? We shall say more in a future article. FOR SALE 100 We offer this valuable residence on 21st street, N. W., near Pa. ave., containing 10 rooms and bath, hot water heat; complete in every detail.

K. Smith to Take Charge of Bureau of Corporations. Washington—Herbert Knox Smith will succeed James R. Garfield as commissioner of corporations of the department of commerce and labor. Mr. Smith is at present the deputy commissioner, and he had a principal part in the work of preparing indictments against the Standard Oil company for alleged illegal railway discrimination at Chicago, St. Louis, Jackson, Tenn., and Jamestown, N. Y. After Edwin W. Sims of Chicago was appointed United States district attorney. Mr. Smith acted as solicitor of the bureau of corporations. He Tomaso HERBERT KNOX SMITH. (Successor to Garfield as Commissioner of Corporations.) was a member of the government commission which investigated the disaster to the steamer General Slocum, and of the federal commission that looked into the wreck of the steamer Valencla on the North Pacific coast. Mr. Smith was engaged for a long time in drafting new laws and regulations for the safeguarding of passengers on sea, lake and ocean-going craft. Under his direction the steamboat inspection service has been put upon a plane of thoroughness. There is a strong personal friendship between President Roosevelt and Mr. Smith. Promotion came to the deputy commissioner of corporations, however, as the result of his work and because of the indorsement of his immediate superior-officers, and not because of the president's personal liking. Mr. Smith was born in Massachusetts, but went to Connecticut with his parents when he was a child. He was graduated from Yale in the class of 1891, and from the Yale law school four years later. Until he entered the government service he was a practicing lawyer at Hartford. He was a member for two years of the Hartford common council, served in the Connecticut legislature for two years and was active in local and state Republican politics. Mr. Smith is a member of several clubs; he is a bel'ever in outdoor sports, and he is a 'requent opponent of President Roosevelt in games of tennis on the White House grounds. A "FUGIO" DOLLAR OF 1776. It Is Made of Tin and Is Exceedingly Rare. Kansas City.—A "Fugio" dollar is owned by Eugene A Martin, of Pattonsburg, Mo. This dollar is made of CONTINENTAL CURRENCY 1774 The "Fugio" Dollar. tin. It was coined in 1776. Upon one side is: "Confidential Currency, 1776." A sun dial, the word "Fugio," and the words: "Mind Your Own Business." Upon the other side is the inscription: "American Congress. We Are One." This is surrounded by a chain of 13 links, each bearing the name of one of the 13 colonies. Kiss Causes Suicide Courtship in Spain is regulated by the strictest etiquette. As is well known, a young man is never left alone with his flancee. Near Malaga a beautiful girl of 20 has just committed suicide by drinking a cup of coffee in which phosphorus had been dissolved. It appears that the girl had been driven to the deed by the adverse comments of neighbors, who became aware that she had given her sweetheart a kiss. "PARTING & STONE" STILL STANDS. Located in Roxbury, Mass., by Judge Dudley 162 Years Ago. Boston.—The mere fragment of the original "parting stone" which stands at the Center street corner of Ellot square, Roxbury, was placed there 162 years ago by Chief Justice Paul Dudley, who was the fourth son of Gov. Joseph, Dudley, the second colonial governor. Judge Dudley, who was born in 1675 and died in 1751, had a pendant for placing milestones along the highway for the public benefit. He caused these granite guildeposts to be located from Roxbury to Boston, and this particular Ellot square stone called the THE PARTING STONE 1744 P. DUDLEY The "Parting Stone." traveler's attention to the fact that northerly he would journey to Cambridge and Watertown, while the opposite direction would lead to "Dedham and Rhode Island." Center street, at the time the "parting stone" was placed at its head, was known as the Dedham road, the name of "Center street" having been adopted in 1825. This thoroughfare extends some miles before the Dedham line is reached. So long as the "parting stone" shall rear its now somewhat battered head above the soil of Ellot square it will serve to keep in green remembrance the name and fame of Chief Justice Paul Dudley, one of Roxbury's most worthy sons of the colonial days, whose life of 75 years was devoted to the best interests of the people among whom his lot was cast. His father and grandfather had both been governors of the colony, and Paul Dudley himself had been legislator, attorney general and chief justice of the superior court of judicature. BOY PUBLISHES A NEWSPAPER. Indinana Youth Edits and Prints Semi-Monthly Sheet. Attica, Ind.—There have been many examples of boyish thrift and enterprise, but one of the most remarkable is furnished by an Indiana youth, J. Frank McDermond, Jr., of this city, now in his thirteenth year, who is publishing a lively little newspaper. He is thought to be the youngest newspaper owner and publisher in the middle west. His father says that the lad "has always had a hankering for newspapers." He learned to like the smell of printers' ink as soon as he was old enough to walk into one by himself. Then he told his parents that he was going to have a paper of his J. PRANK IN DEMOND. own. He would not rest, and his persistence has resulted in his present venture. Every two weeks the Clipper now appears in Attica, and the people have learned to look for it. It is a 6x2, eight-page paper, and is devoted to local news. The advertisers of the town have taken a liking to the lad, and rewarded his pluck by generous purchases of space in the little paper. The subscription rate is ten cents a year, and the advertising rate is five cents an inch. The lad, who borrowed enough from his father, a well-known merchant, to launch his paper, expects to soon be able to pay him back, with interest. The paper now has over 100 paid subscribers, and young McDermond sells another 100 copies extra on each edition. The boy gives promise of becoming an able writer. His "copy" has the stamp of originality, and his unique views on the routine affairs of life in Attica make the columns of the Clipper decidedly interesting. Long Walt for Hangman.

WOLF, AGED 27, ELECTED TO CONGRESS. Defeats Republican Party Leader in Baltimore District That Had Not Gone Democratic in Ten Years. Baltimore, Md., from a newsboy to a successful lawyer and a seat in congress before he is 27 years old, the youngest man that ever sat in the house, is the record of Harry B. Wolf, who was elected recently to go to Washington as representative of the Third district of Baltimore. Mr. Wolf not only defeated an old campaigner, but he carried a district that has not gone. Democratic in ten years. His opponent, W. W. Johnson, is a leader in the councils of the Republican party in Baltimore, and was just a leader of the city when Wolf was an archin yellining. "Extra, mister!" Nobody can tell John how to run a campaign. He has been in scoes of them. He was president of the United Republican Clubs of the city, and he ranked so high in his party that any gathering of the Clans without Johnson was "Hammer" with the melancholy prince left out. Yet the "newsboy" candidate beat him by $85 votes in a total of $1,557 cast, and today the young lawyer is the representative in congress of half the city of Baltimore." Day and night Wolf worked. He visited almost every, home in his district, and on the last day of the campaign he sent out something like 6,000 letters to doubtful voters. He was ever ready with the glad smile, and he has a handshake that is winning. He made about six speeches every night. He knows how to handle men, and has a magnetic personality. All the foreign element in his dis- A. B. HARRY B. WOLF. (Former Baltimore Newsboy Now a Member of Congress.) trict flocked to him to a man, because he lives among them and attends to their affairs that get into the courts. He is at their weddings, their funerals, their christenings, and their beds of illness, not because he is a politician, but because he has grown up among them, and is on familiar terms with every man of them. Wherever two or three men were gathered, all knew Harry Wolf. It would take him about an hour to walk around a block. The constitution of the United States says that no man shall enter congress as a member unless he is 25 years of age. Wolf is just 26 and 6 months old. His brief career impresses the lesson that every American boy has a chance at the presidency. Wolf has not only captured unusual political honors, but he is known all over the city as one of its foremost lawyers, one who has baffled the nestor of the Maryland bar, former Gov. William Pinkney Whyte, now United States senator and a lawyer who has acquitted 60 men accused of murder, but has prosecuted none for fear he would hang them. Harry Wolf's father died the day he was nominated for congress. "The only thing to regret in it all," he said the night of his election, "is that dad could not live to know it." Rothschild's Generosity. Baron Henri De Rothschild, the millionaire doctor of medicine, attended at the Academy of Medicine in Paris, where Dr. Poierier, at the close of a masterly lecture, expressed regret that France had no cancer institute, baron Henri sent up a note to the lecturer expressing his pleasure at the lecture and enclosing a "little check toward" the preliminary expenses of the institute," which represented 20,000. Oldest of Naval Veterans. Robert Ambler Bruce, who was born before George Washington died, who saw the meeting between Admiral Decatur and Napoleon at St. Helena, and who is a hero of half a dozen wars, is still living in Richmond, Va., at the age of 106. He entered the navy at the age of 13 to serve in the war of 1812, and was, at 15, on Decatur's flagship when it visited St. Helena in 1814. Mr. Bruce is a descendant of Pocahontas. Justin McCarthy Still Busy Justin McCarthy, the historian and ex-leader of the Irish party, is now living in retirement at Westgate-on-Sea. McCarthy is still busy, but his sight has become greatly impaired. He dictates for an hour or two every morning to an amanuensis. MEMORIAL TO BARON WILL BE ERECTED IN WASHINGTON. German Nobleman Helped Train Revolutionary Troops in Fight for American Liberty—His Body Rests in New York. Washington.—A statue of General Steuben—the Baron von Steuben who came to America from Prussia to aid the cause of the patrols in the revolutionary war—is to be erected in Lafayette Square, Washington. A model of the statue is on exhibition. It is the work of Albert Jaggers, of New York, a German-American sculptor to whom the award was given over a large number of competitors. It was considered a graceful act to limit the competitors for the honor of doing the work to German Americans, because of the nationality of the revolutionary soldier whose fame was to be commemorated. Every design that was submitted, it is said, was of unusual excellence, and the task of deciding among them was difficult. The statue of Lafayette, which stands at one corner of the square that bears his name, is not an equestrian statue, and for this reason no other of the memorials in the same park, save one, will represent mounted men. The horse necessarily was eliminated from the Rochambeau memorial because the second Frenchman to be honored with representation in Lafayette Square was a sailor. At the fourth corner of the park a statue of Pulaski will be erected in a year or two, and this will complete the memorials which it is intended to put in place, for the park is a small one. An equestrian statue of General Jackson occupies the center of the pleasure ground. General Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Ferdinand, Baron von Steuben, came M. Model of Statue to Baron von Steuben, to America to aid the cause of the revolutionists, and was of invaluable service in imparting knowledge of European tactics to the officers of the American forces. The discipline of the colonial army improved to such an extent under his instruction that the male, and the fighting effectiveness of the troops was increased many fold in a short time. The services of the German soldier were not confined to the camp. He fought well on several fields, and it finally fell to his lot to check the advance of Francislet Arnold and, out an end to the reign of terror Arnold had created among non-combatants in the territory which he had invaded. After the revolutionary war Sieuben went to central New York and settled on a tract granted him by the government. The place of his settlement later was called Steuben. It is now a thriving town. In his will the general made the request that he be buried in the woods which he loved. The request was compiled with and his body was laid in a beautiful piece of woodland not far from his residence. About 30 years ago, because civilization had changed the face of the country, the body of the baron was removed by the state of New York to a grove in the township of Steuben, and the place has been made a state preserve. There was a great military demonstration at the time of the removal, and a handsome monument has been erected to mark the German soldier's resting place. · Simple Explanation. Joseph H. Choate, the eminent New York lawyer, in the course of his career has seen defeat fall to many members of his profession while examining witnesses. The most utter rout he ever witnessed was in the case of a young lawyer defending a man against a charge of burglary. The chief witness, a married woman, said the accused came into her room about 2 o'clock in the morning. She saw the intruder but acknowledged that she could not see her husband. The young lawyer shot a side glance at the jury and then thundered: "Now, madam, please explain to us all how it was that you could see the prisoner and yet could not see your husband?" "My husband," said the woman, "was at the club." Russians and Chinese The first secretary of the Chinese legation in St. Petersburg remarked the other day that the Chinese government has a stronger hold on itl-people than the Russian has on its own, and that the Chinese people are less cultivated and more oppressed. BOOK WHICH CONTAINS ONLY PICTURES OF THE HUNTED. Likenesses of Men with Record for Misdeeds Kept in Unique Collection at Detective Headquarters in Chicago. Chicago. — The strangest photograph album in Chicago is what is known as "Billy" Lothart's "Big Book." None of Lothart's friends has his picture in this mysterious book. When a person is represented there it is pretty certain that he has killed some one, has run away with money, escaped from the penitentiary or has been lost or stolen. The odd thing about this book is that a picture goes in whether the original does or does not care. Besides all this, it's pretty hard for a man to stay in Chicago without getting into jail if his picture is in the book. Big, thick, canvas covers and mysterious looking printing on the back make "Billy" Lothart's album an object of pious interest at the central detective offices in the city hall. Between those covers there is the queerest lot of pictures ever seen in one book, excepting, possibly, in an amateur snapshot fiend's collection. But these are pictures every one of which tells a story; a sweetheart slain, a trusted employee's defalcation, the murder of an enemy, the theft of thousands of dollars. These are some of the little tales retold by the sketches that fill the heavy pages. And there are thousands of pictures and sketches, too, with more coming in every day. This collection contains the photograph of Paul O. Stensland, with descriptions and rewards printed in seven different languages. That picture is now considered obsolete. Anyhow, there are others with rewards which aggregate large sums. Robert L. Dix, who escaped from the Jefferson county jail at Birmingham, Ala., is worth $1,500 to the man who finds him. William "Bossle" Francis, the alleged murderer of Miss Mary Henderson, near Columbus, Mo., has a reward of $3,750 offered for his capture. The state of Missouri agrees to pay $300, the county court $500, the city of Columbus $700, and even his dead body will bring $500. For evidence that any white or black person aided him in the deed $500 more will be paid. If it can be proved that he was harbored, fed, supplied with money or helped to travel, the informer will get $150. Besides all this a special reward of $1,000 will go to anyone who proves that persons have libelously connected the name of W. C. Hyatt with the murder. Michael Liebel disappeared from his home in Erie, Pa., according to this cosmopolitan book, and the one who finds him alive will get the snug little sum of $5,000. The story of New York elevated railway wreck is told by one circular which bears the picture of Paul Kelly, a motorman, who is alleged to have disregarded the signals. His possession, says the circular, is worth $500 to the city's police. The picture of an intelligent, bright looking young man, William Robert Vice, serves as the guide post for a search instituted by the Union Pacific railroad. Gambling is said to have caused the already wealthy Vice to embezzle thousands of dollars from his employers and hide from place to place after the posting of a $1,000 reward for his capture. The person of the murderer of Sol Bardenheler, who was found dead at Blooming Grove, Wis., is good for a $600 reward the minute lie is captured. Tom Jones' escape from the Colorado state penitentiary will cost that state $200 if he is caught. So it goes on through the list of new fugitives and old ones whose activities have made them wanted by the police. From Malne to California, men with a record of misdeeds behind them are represented in this Chicago photograph album and their faces are eagerly scanned day after day until the word 'comes' that they are in fall or dead. RED TIE SPOILS ELOPEMENT. Man's Return to Get Lurid Piece of Neckwear Discloses Plans. Waterbury, Conn. — When Miss Julia Tonpense crocheted the most lurid red necktie that ever graced the neck of a Waterbury Adonis and worked in a number of pretty sentimental inscriptions upon its flery floss she little thought that the same necktie would shatter her hopes of an elopement. Albert Vernice, the young woman's fiancee, has neither a red tie nor a wife to-day and is awaiting some one to appear in the courthouse to go on his bond for $300. He is charged with abduction. Miss Tonpense's father, fearing an elopement when she wanted to go to New York, insisted on accompanying her to the station. The young couple had everything arranged, so when Vernice saw the father with the girl he hid in a freight car until the New York train was just starting. Then he made a running jump and landed on the rear platform. When the young couple arrived in New York, the bride-to-be discovered that Vernice had forgotten his red necktie. He was sent back post haste to get it, as Miss Tonpense refused to be married with him wearing any other neckwear. When Vernice got back to Waterbury Mr. Tonpense was at the station and had him arrested. ess of Project Would Recaim 75,000,000 Acrees.

The estimated area of the Everglades swamp, in Florida, is 7,000,000 acres, and there are vast acres of swamp lands in Indiana, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and other southern states.

CUTS THE NIGHT IN TWO French Savant Advocates New rangement of Working Hours Paris.—Prof. Hallopeau of the emy of Medicine, says: "The true secret of long con'valuable brain work is to o'night in two.

Professor Hallopeau cites a poleon and Cavour as brilliant ing the merits of the system advocates. Family Has Divorce Mama.

HEADQUARTERS FOR Fine CANDIES HIGHER WAGES FOR NEGRO LABORERS Powerful Labor Organization Will Protect Colored Workingmen and Women. Every colored citizen who has the interest of the race at heart, will rejoice to learn that a great Labor Union is using its strength and influence to secure higher wages for the negro laboring men and women. This is the first labor organization in this country to take up the battle in behalf of our race. This Union proposes to see that the colored people are given their proper place in the work of this country, and accorded equal opportunities to work with other workmen and receive Union wages and hours. They will extend full protection to their negro members, and insist upon justice being done them. The negro has an equal standing in this union with his white brother, and is eligible to hold any office in the organization. When a member dies, $100.00 is paid to his beneficiary, this being one of the beneficial features of this Union. If a leading negro of each locality will become a Deputy, and help extend this Union by forming new Lodges, he will uplift our people and do grand work for the race. He may continue his regular employment, forming the Lodge during idle moments, and receive good pay for his efforts. Those of our readers who desire to take up this work should write THE INTERNATIONAL LABORERS' UNION, DAYTON, OHIO, and request sample Journal, Constitution and By-Laws and instructions about becoming a Deputy Organizer for this progressive Union. Be sure to mention this paper and enclose 10 cents to pay the postage. Also give reference as to character and honesty. In all probability the next heavyweight contest will be between Jack Johnson, colored, and Tommy Burns, French Canadian. Don't Empty Your Pocketbook in Buying Christmas Gifts.
