VOL. XXVI.NO. 32 SOME COLD FACTS. To Hon, George B. Cortelyou, Chairman of the National Republican Committee— Sir. Well, I see that the President sent to Brownsville for additional evidence to establish the guilt of the colored troops. Why should he send for additional information if he had sufficient to convict and dismiss the colored troops of the Twenty-fifth Infantry? Don't you think the move is rather peculiar? Is it not evident that his action was rather hasty in the beginning? I wonder if he really believes that the American people will put any dependence in the evidence that he will secure now? Not much, Mr. Cortelyou. The American people cannot be fooled and neither will they allow this matter to pass unnoticed. Secretary Taft's declaration that he would not refuse the Republican nomination if tendered him is rather weak. He need to give himself no uneasiness because the nomination will not be tendered him. The people will not be such fools again. Ohio will go for Senator Foraker and the colored vote will listen to his advice. The colored vote will support any candidate named by Senator Foraker, but it will not even consider any member of the Cabinet under the present Administration, unless it be Secretary Shaw. There is no possible way to influence the colored vote to support the Chief Executive. The time has come for the colored man to act, Mr Cortelyou. He will no longer follow the footsteps of blind Negro leadership. He has decided to support those who represent principles, be they Democrats, Socialists, Nihilists, or any other kind of individuals. I am not disappointed. If you remember, I told the country several years ago that Mr. Roosevelt was no friend of the colored man. I had no faith in his "door of hope" policy. The Republican party has long since become disgusted with the policy of the Administration. Every issue that has been introduced by Mr. Bryan, except the free silver issue, has been adopted by every Republican convention. The renomination of Mr. Roosevelt means defeat of the Republican party. You can never hope to carry the South by the policy that is being pursued by the Administration. The South does not agree with the President in his dismissal of the colored troops. There may be a few prejudiced white Southerners who will support the President in his contention, but the fair men in the South believe in honest dealings, no matter what the color of a man's skin is. You must adopt another scheme to fool the colored voter. By the way, I thought you would have retired from the chairmanship of the National Republican Committee long ago. Do you intend to remain? The nomination of Senator Foraker will be a happy solution of the troubles of the party. Do you know that we have over fifty-eight thousand colored people in this city? Do you know that no colored citizen holds a representative place? You seem to be very quiet now. What is the cause of your silence? I find that many of the Democratic appointments made by the Administration meet the approval of the people. I must certainly commend Mr. Cleveland for many of his Democratic appointments made by him when he was president. Many of them gave entire satisfaction. Will you explain to me why the office of Recorder of Deeds was placed under Civil Service and the office of Register of Wills was permitted to remain as it is? Just think of it! There is not a colored clerk in the office of Register of Wills. If you look into the office of Recorder of Deeds you will see the clerk evenly divided. O! I suppose we shall have a special message to the Senate after the return of Mr. Purdy from Brownsville. Don't you think that special messages should be given a rest? There is to be a national Negro political organization established in a few days. This organization will mean something, Mr. Cortelyou. Yes, sir it will cause you to think a little. The so-called Negro millionaire who refused to sign the petition requesting the President to reinstate the dismissed colored troops has more sense in his heels than he has in his head. The majority of the colored people in this country have no more favors to ask from the President. There is not a representative colored man in this country in favor of the action of your Chief. You will no doubt find the officeholder or the officeseeker looking for official consideration. This class of individuals has no influence with the masses. The colored leader must be pure in heart now. The colored people will look upon any man who favors the action of the President with suspicion. As the chairman of the National Republican Committee we hope to see something doing, and that something must be of a substantial character. In my next I shall hope to give you some interesting data on the political situation. Until then, believe me to be (Written for The Bee.)

ITEMS ON THE WING Last Sunday night a colored man, passenger on the Washington and Falls Church line, was black-jacked and thrown from the train while it was in motion by the conductor. The balance of the colored passengers were told that they would share the same fate if they interfered. (And yet the Negro won't unite.) San-Antonio, Texas, Dec. 23—Because he used profane language in retort to a command of an officer, James L. Henry, a private in Company D, Twenty-fifth Regiment, was sentenced to ten years in the government prison, after a brief trial by court-martial. (The Twenty-fifth Infantry is a colored regiment.) Charles Wright, of Hawkesburg.Cape Breton, age seventeen, by continuous eating of pea soup and potatoes, now weighs 436 pounds. The Hon. John G. Jones, 33d degree, of Chicago, Ill., was in our city last week. He was the recipient of Masonic hospitalities while here. Nine thousand Spaniards upon the offer of the presidents of Uruguay and Nicaragua, South America, have migrated to these places. The Ill-H. C. Scott, Thirty-third Degree, has been re-elected G. M. of the Nineteenth Street Masons. Newport Henry, Thirty-third Degree, Grand Secretary. The M. W. W. Eureka Grand Lodge of F. A. A. A. Y. Masons for D. C., working under the National Grand Lodge, instituted June 24th, 1847, oldest Negro Masonic jurisdiction in the United States, met last week. M. W. Henry Cox, Thirty-third Degree, in the Grand East. More later. Under this indictment the Government only has to prove that the man was held at labor against his will. Under a peonage indictment it would have to prove that the man was held for debt. The Grand Jury also brought in four indictments against O'Hara, charging peonage and one for conspiring with other persons to hold a man in slavery. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY What I Saw And Heard Inventor What I Saw And Heard In:entor Jones Speaks Col. Giles B. Jackson is pursuing the even tenor of his way. There was a large crowd out to greet him last Friday evening. I understand that Mr. James H. Winslow has bought the Conservatory of Music Hall. Mr. Winslow is a man of fine business qualities. The Trinity Baptist Church is now thoroughly organized and will no doubt be able to build next spring. The members have pledged a large sum to the pastor, which will no doubt be sufficient to purchase ground. It makes no difference how ignorant some people are, if they have other qualities. Out churches are more prejudiced on account of color than the opposite race. There is a movement on foot to have representation on the Board of Trustees of the Reform School for Boys. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, has at last succeeded in defeating his enemies. Rev. Mr. Drew is a worker. He doesn't know when to give up a fight. Rev. Drew is making every effort to build a new church shortly. His membership is steadily on the increase. His people seem to love him THE EXECUTIVE THE TUSKEGEE NORMAL INST The Executive Council is the Govern- Seated (left to right)—Mrs. B. T. for Girls; Robert R.

The new president of Howard University has the respect and confidence of the students and teachers. He is doing all in his power to improve the institution. My old and genial friend, Dr. Samuel M. Pierre has been quite ill. I saw him Sunday, at which time he had improved. Dr. Pierre has a large circle of friends, who wish him well. fully call your attention to the once famous story of a farmer who once purchased a horse, and when he invites some friends to see this horse it gave a peculiar sound. The actions of the horse were surprising to the farmers visitors. To me the actions of the President are somewhat similar to the farmers' purchase. On one occasion a New York physician was called in to attend a boy who had injured his heel. The doctor Dr. J. E. Sheppard will sail next month for Rome. He will be gone some time. On his return he will do all in his power to elect delegates from the South for Vice-President Fairbanks. The delegates from the South will be divided up oween Mr. Foraker and Mr. Fairbanks. The office-holders of course will do all in their power to elect Administration delegates. But these delegates will be but few. There will be a new deal when a new President enters the White House. I am for the laboring man. I shall be glad to see a strong labor organization among the colored people soon. The colored people have something to learn. They don't know the value or the use of labor organizations. Mr. Cyrus Fields Adams, the assistant Register of the Treasury, is a competent man and is doing his duty as Assistant Register of the Treasury. FAIRPLAN. NEW BORN WITH THE NEW YEAR. Mrs. Emma Green presented her husband with a fine girl weighing seven pounds. Mr. Green is anxious for a son. Mr. James Coleman of the city post office is a father now, a fine son weighing six pounds. Mother and child are doing well. READ THE BEE. SATURDAY JANUARY 5, 190 Inventor Jones Speaks A DECLARATION OF WARNING Editor of The Bee: The question, so popularly known and characterizing the race question or problem, seems to me to be a very ambiguous one and is subjected to careful consideration by keen and sober judgment. In this opinion there is no race question as I have been able to see. There are two conditions that seem to reign supreme. First, the social issue; second, the political aspect. The social issue, as I see it, is that the old practice, in all of its force, is "self-preservation is the first law of nature." If we would apply the meaning of this pursuaseology it contains great virtue and surprisingly an enormous amount of fortitude. It first protects yourself and your home. That means your mother, sister, wife and daughter, etc. PRESERVATION OF SELF means self-protection, with a broad a definition as it may have. It means nothing more than self-protection. THE PRESIDENT The action of the President has not surprised me at all. I would respect- IVE COUNCIL. AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE ing Body of the School.

The actions of the horse were surprising to the farmers' visitors. To me the actions of the President are somewhat similar to the farmers' purchase. On one occasion a New York physician was called in to attend a boy who had injured his heel. The doctor placed an instrument in the boy's mouth to ascertain whether he had any pus in the heel. If the President has sent to Brownsville, looking for evidence, I would advise him to first use his good senses and ascertain from Senator Foraker whether he was in possession of sufficient facts to defend him in his unwise dismissal of the colored troops fro mthe army. If the Grandicient evidence to indict, what kind of methods have the President adopted to bolster up his rash act? The President is in need of a physician like Senator Foraker, and not one like the New York physician. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. There is yet good material in the Republican party. Mr. Taft has committed political suicide, and it is very fortunate for the Republican party that it has at its hands such a man as Senator Foraker of Ohio, Frye of Maine, Lodge of Massachusetts, and others I may name. Unfortunately for Secretary Taft, he is not counted in the political equation so far as the colored vote is concerned. I have traveled all over this country, and I know what the sentiment of the colored voter is against Mr. Taft and the Roosevelt Administration. THE VALUE OF CONCENTRATION The colored Americans are learning the value of concentration. The action of the present administration towards the Negro and Filipinos has forced the Negro to concentrate. And of the colored Americans have learned sufficiently before 1908 the value of concentration they will be political factors in the American body politic. The colored Americans should ascertain what the principles of parties are and adopt those principles that will tend to elevate them, be they Democratic or Republican. TILLMANISM. I regret that we have a Tillman in Congress. If Mr. Tillman had made known his views while Governor of South Carolina he never would have been in the United States Senate. He knows it and I know it. He has not lived up to the dignity of a Senator to represent the State of South Carolina. But South Carolina is awaking. Shep- PROF. RICHARD P. JONES. pard or Awe of South Carolina would be an honor to the State. Senator Tillman was once on his uncle's farm, driving, as country boys do. He stopped at a pond to bathe. He wanted to show his power, above that of others. In driving he went a little too far. He put his one eye out. The boys cried out: "O! he can't see how far he is out." I am of the opinion that he is diving now in deep water and is blind to conditions. He got the name of "Pitchfork" Tillman because in his uncle's barn he was compelled to load the wagons with manure for cultivating farms, etc., and in one of his famous speeches in the town of Greenville, S. C., he said, referring to certain facts that present conditions reminded him of things on his uncle's farm. This is what he is doing today in Congress. As to my individual acquaintance with Mr. Tillman, he does not wrong his nose they would know better how me. If the Negroes of this country know how many times I have pulled to handle a lion that is as easy to handle as a lamb. To solve this so-called race problem it ought to be easy and a satisfactory conclusion reached. THE greatest crimes are those committed in the name of humanity. I dislike a man who sits in a seat of authority and calls you brother, and at the same time has a dagger up his sleeve to stab you in the back, or who makes spectacular demonstrations in the name of justice, and winks at crime; preaches justice and winks at hell, with a proclamation of "Good God and good Devil," and at the same time deplores muck- raking and then rakes muck; preaching humanity and entertaining brutality and condoning murder; calling evil good and good evil; will hurry the army to Cuba to suppress the Negro in the name of equity and justice, and wink at lynching and barbarism; sends a representative to California to pacify and guarantee fairplay to Japan. O! what a farce! O! what a farce and spectacular demonstration! THE GENESIS OF THE NATIONS has been legendary and obscure. They have had an unrecorded infancy and childhood of fables and mythology. Their dawn has emerged from a dim twilight peopled with vague shadows and phantoms. Gods and saints and heroes, whose love and wars are written in laids and odes of the races. But there are no Romulus and Remus business about the United States of America. None of its founders were succeeded by the wolves on the banks of James, or on the shores of Massachusetts Bay. The forty thousand Englishmen who migrated to Virginia and New England in the first half of the seventeenth century are no strangers. We know their names, where they were born; why they came, and the day and hour they landed and what they did when they set foot on shore. We know for they told us that Massachusetts was discovered by accident and settled through mistake. The Pilgrims did not intend to land at Plymouth, and they would not have remained there if they could have gotten away. 69862 PAGES ONE TO EIGHT PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Six hundred families were cut off from further free mail delivery by order of the postmaster general at New Orleans last Tuesday.

It is stated that the entire police force had to be called out last Saturday after noon and night when "The Clansman" was produced in the Orange Theater, Orange, N. Y. Five men who were sleeping in a caboose were crushed to death last week in a collision between a stock train and a locomotive near Winnipeg Junction, Detroit, Mich. Samuel D. Cox, editor of the Minatare Sentinel, was shot and instantly killed last week by E. S. Kennison, a hotel man at Minatare, Neb. Ex-President Cleveland's condition is said to be improving. Resolutions were adopted last week by the Wisconsin State Teachers' Association, Milwaukee, Wis., indorsing simplified spelling. It is said that George Carter, the famous African explorer, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of a Portuguese fanatic named Cascades at the Grand Canary. It is said that cross-saddle riding in London for women seems to have had a fresh boom recently. The State bank examiner at St. Joseph, Mo., closed the Bank of Commerce last Tuesday. Bishop James A.

We are in receipt of the first quarter of the National Baptist Convention S. S. Literature. The whole year will be devoted to the study of the Old Testament. The Sunday School Literature for this quarter is very instructive. Mr. R. H. Boyd, D.D., L.L.D., is the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and Mr. W. S. Ellington, B.A., is editorial secretary. Prof. G. W. Hayes, who died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital recently, had the presidency of Virginia Baptist Seminary about thirteen years. Mrs. Mary Taylor, a Washingtonian by birth, died December 24th in San Francisco, aged 70 years. CARDOZO'S LIBERALITY. In speaking of what Mr. Cordoza has done among other things a few weeks ago stated that he paid money out of his own pocket to run the colored night schools. The Bee is aware that Prof. J. D. Baltimore solicited a large amount of money and other articles from white citizens, who contributed more liberally than the colored citizens toward the colored schools. The Bee also knows that Miss Bell Russell contributed, and many other night school teachers. The Bee would be pleased to have a report of the amount that Mr. Cordozo contributed from his own pocket. It would no doubt fill a tea spoon. The citizens of this city will shed no tears if he is not reappointed after his trial. The Bee would like to see Prof. Briny Clark reappointed. The teachers have the highest admiration for him. Mrs. Peter Lucas, wife of Rev. Dr. P. Lucas, has returned home from her trip to the country during the holidays. East St. Louis has the biggest steam whistle in the world. It can be heard at twenty miles. From all indications the President is up against it. He recognizes the fact that Mr. Foraker is a foeman worthy of his steel. He is not blind to the fact that the outcome of the present controversy will have bearing upon the action of the Republican National Convention in 1908, when a Presidential ticket will be nominated.

We all know that many of the teachers become careless, and but little was accomplished. The Bee agrees with its contemporary, the Times, that Dr. Chancellor should have been given a fair trial. The Bee, like many others, does not believe that the new superintendent has been justly treated, and many of the attacks made upon him have been person- al. Dr. Chancellor is a good organizer, and it is believed that the colored schools are being improved under his supervision. The unwarrantable attacks made upon the colored superintendent, Professor Montgomery, have been actuated by malice. Professor Montgomery has the confidence of every colored teacher in the corps, except probably those who would like to succeed him. There have been some in the colored schools, especially one or two supervising principals, who have made themselves ridiculous in the eyes of many tecahers who know more than these supervising principals. The citizens do not approve and neither do they indorse these attacks made against the Board of Education by these interlopers who have come to the city and have no more interest in the schools than the heathen in the Fiji Islands. The very first act of an interloper when he comes to Washington is an attempt to run things socially and dictate to the people how the colored schools should be conducted. If Mr. Cordoza is guilty of what is charged against him he should be removed without question. If he is innocent the investigating committee will say so. Everybody knows that Mrs. Terrell is as much interested in the success of the colored schools as the Congressman who offered the bill reorganizing them. There is not a fairer man on the Board of Education than Capt. James F. Oyster, and there is not a man in this city more interested in the welfare of the colored schools than he is. The colored people will trust the destiny of the colored schools in his hands, because he is honest and fair and he will not be deterred by attacks, and neither will anyone prevent him from doing his duty and removing obstructions if they tend to impede the progress of the public school system. The Bee advises the colored people especially to uphold the Board of Education and Superintendent Chancellor, because the criticism against him is personal and unwarrantable. There has been a great deal of favoritism practiced in our schools. Many a worthy and deserving teacher has been relegated to the rear for pets of school officers. At the time Dr. George H. Richardson was a member of the School Board he appointed several drawing teachers who had been ignored by former boards. Mrs. Terrell made many deserving appointments when she was a member of a former board. The --- teachers who were appointed by Mrs. Terrell, Dr. Richardson and Rev. Sterling M. Brown have made excellent teachers. There has been too much color prejudice in our colored schools, which the present Board of Education will not tolerate. From the Chicago Conservator. W. Calvin Chase, the able editor of The Bee, like the most of the Negro editors who strive faithfully to serve their people, always had it hard up to within a late period, when his great heart saw poor old Tom treading the wine press virtually alone, and seeming to be growing fat on championing the doctrine of surrender and being the apostle of cowardly submission. Now then, unless all signs fail, Brother Chase will stand among them that ask and shall receive and Brother Fortune will not be the only Negro pewspaper man that can boast that his paper has more money and does better by upholding and supporting one big man, who has his hands on the purse strings of the rich white man than it did when he fought and bled and died for a nori-appreciative whole race of people. But it is too late now for Brothers Fortune and Chase combined, with their splendid backing, to do more toward saving their well-to-do ward to the intelligent Negro than Brother Tom alone could do. The people's eyes are open and will wear no veil any more. ophant who surrernders his manhood rights. It is the money grafter and the boodler and the political knave who surrenders. If it were not so, Chicago would have more today than what it has, so far as the colored American is concerned. Chicago is the chief center, and the Editor of the Conservator is the chief priest. If a man is found guilty on the evidence, why is it necessary to get additional evidence to convict him again? Mr. Taft is very modest indeed. He should wait and be asked to accept the Republican presidential nomination. Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina, bad as he is, has never done the colored man as much injury as Mr. Roosevelt. A reward of one hundred dollars will be paid if someone find the man who caused the "door of hope" to be closed. If the colored Americans, that is some of them, would look more after their welfare than their color they would succeed better. There are only a few critics of Dr. Chancellor who have personal grievances. The Doctor is no coward. The attacks upon him are personal. The doctrine of surrender applies to cowards, boodlers and grafters only. Honest men succeed and never have time to answer irresponsible people. President Roosevelt went on a 'coon hunt, last week to get rid of the bears in this city. He will return in time to receive Parly's report. The Republicans of Georgia have declared against the Administration. Only the officeholders seem to be advocating the policy of the President. Secretary Shaw knows when he has enough of bad company. Secretary Shaw will, no doubt, be heard from after his retirement from the Cabinet. FORAKER IN BITTER RAP AT ROOSEVELT Senator Foraker today, in speaking of President Roosevelt's defiance of Congress, said: "I think the story of what the President intends to do is too silly to talk about." As given out at the White House, the President's position is as follows: He will veto any bill that may be passed reinstating the discharged soldiers. He will ignore the law until the Supreme Court has passed upon the question if such a bill is passed his veto, and, further, he will welcome impeachment proceedings if Congress desires to carry the fight to such a point. Senator Foraker's reply to the semi-official announcement of the President's defiance of Congress was confined strictly to the short comment quoted above. It is recognized as the hottest retort and most caustic arraignment to which President Roosevelt has ever been subjected by a Republican Senator or by any other man of prominence within the Republican party. It is looked upon as settled now that the issue will be fought to a finish, and that it may develop into an affair of the gravest political importance. The Waiters' and Ex-Waiters' Association of the District of Columbia have elected the following officers: President, E. W. Turner; first vice-president, G. W. Cole; second vice-president, L. H. Nutt; treasurer, N. J. Booker; financial secretary, John R. Brown, assistant financial secretary, J. W. Robinson, recording secretary, J. R. F. Brown, assistant recording secretary, E. V.Wright, chaplain, W. T. Naylor, assistant chaplain, F. Coles, sergeant-at-arms, M. O. Green, assistant sergeant-at-arms, W. A. Young. Chief Justice Clabaugh of the District Supreme Court rendered a very important decision last week in the case of Army and Navy Union vs. the regular Army and Navy Union. In part the court rules that bylaws of organizations must give away to the laws of the land. Bylaws are binding between members until they are called into question, in which case the law prevails. We think this a very good decision for the reason some orders have so much law that it keeps its members always in hot water. Probably no happier man could be found in all Washington yesterday than Uncle Jim Burke, President McKinley's old barber, at the Ebbitt House. Uncle Jim belongs to an old type of the colored race that seems to be passing off the stage. He came here from the Tar Heel State in 1866, and in his day and generation he has probably shaved the faces and trimmed the locks of more prominent men than any other tonsorial artist in the country. Mr. McKinley's friendship is one of the cherished recollections of his life. "Mr. McKinley," he said, "always called me 'Pat.' He said that 'Jim' was not Irish enough to go with Burke, and so I was always 'Pat' to him. I didn't mind. Mr. McKinley was certainly a fine gentleman. He could call me by any name he pleased." Uncle Jim's special reason for rejoicing yesterday was the fact that he had just secured the appointment of his son, Clinton Cobb Burke, to the position of messenger in the Supreme Court, by Justice Moody. Every new justice of the court has the appointment of a messenger, who performs the duties of a body servant, or valet. The positions pay $90 a month, with some perquisites, and as they are for life, or good behaviors, they are naturally much sought after. No civil service examination is required of the applicant. Uncle Jim's account of his first interview with Judge Moody is quaint and interesting. The first thing that Judge Moody asked him was to sign the pay roll. That was easy. Then he said: "Clinton, do you drink?" "Do you realize that you are getting a place for life?" A few monients later he was running a razor over the justice's face, and the appointment was confirmed. Each justice has a special messenger of his own, whose sole duty is to wait on his chief. When a justice dies or retires, his messenger goes to another justice or is assigned to a place around the court. They are never discharged when once appointed, except for serious cause. The same rule applies to every employee of the Supreme Court. Dismissals there are as rate as white blackbirds. In the opinion of other Supreme Court messengers, Justice Moody's messenger has dropped into something of a cinch, for the reason that the new justice is a bachelor, and his messenger's duties will be light. Messengers of judges who have familie are kept pretty busy. Uncle Jim has three children, all grown up; two sons and a daughter. The daughter is a school teacher here at $75 a month. One son is employed in a department store at $80 a month. They are all unmarried. Small wonder that the Burke family is looking forward to it. He says his children want him to a merry Christmas. Uncle Jim is sixty-ture and take life easy. "I don't have to work," he said, "but I like it and reckon I will keep at it as long as I am able to get around." The first place Uncle Jim worked in after coming here was the old National Hotel. Justice Clifford of Maine was one of his regular daily patrons. "I remember Judge Clifford well," he said. "He would drop in my place every morning for a shave, carrying his collar and necktie in his hand, and would put them on after I had fixed him up." Those must have been days of Jeffersonian simplicity indeed. Could any one imagine a member of the Supreme Court today strolling along the street to a barber-shop with collar and necktie dangling from his hand? "Judge Clifford always talked very freely with me," Uncle Jim continued. "He appointed a friend of mine, William Bruce, messenger. Bruce is there yet; not as messenger—he is too old for that now—but he attends the door, and his son is Justice Brewer's messenger I used to shave Judge Bradley at the old Willard. One day he told me that he was looking for a good man to attend him and asked me if I knew of any one who would suit. I brought John Craig, a bellboy, in and introduced him to the judge. He liked his looks and engaged him on the spot. John holds the job still. Justice Matthews appointed Eugene Brooks, one of the boys at the Arlington, upon my recommendation. He is still there. Somehow the judges seemed to think that I had luck in picking out good men to look after them. I once asked Judge Clifford why he did not retire and take life easy, as he had reached the age when he could retire on full pay." "Jim," he said, "I would not last a month if I should retire. I must stay on the bench to have something to occupy my mind." He did live a good many years after than conversation." Uncle Jim is a pretty shrewd politician, as his achievements in getting offices for his relations and friends will testify. It is said that over 100 members of his race have been put on Uncle Sam's pay roll through his instrumentality. Although he left North Carolina in 1866, he wielded a potential influence in the councils of the G. O. P. there for a good many years. In 1866, when McKinley and Reed were having a hot fight for the Southern delegates, Jeter C. Pritchard, afterwards Senator and now a Federal judge, went to Uncle Jim. "Jim," he said, "Tom Reed is getting hold of some of your people in the Wilmington district. We want a solid delegation from North Carolina for McKinley. The convention meets in two days. You must go down there and get your people back into line. Do this and your friends will be taken care of if McKinley wins." Uncle Jim went and the generalship he displayed would have done credit to Quay. Many of the colored delegates had pledged themselves to Reed before he arrived, and the situation was threatening from a McKinley viewpoint. Uncle Jim hired a couple of rooms in a quiet street, got hold of a negro mammy who knew how to cook and gave her orders to prepare a feast regardless of expense. Then he rounded up all the delegates in his headquarters and told them to pitch in. They did. Not a word was spoken about politics until every one had eaten all that he could hold. Then the tables were cleared and a pow-wow began. Uncle Jim called upon the Reed men to speak first. The McKinleyites closed the debate. By the time the last McKinley speaker got through, Uncle Jim says that the Reed argumentnts had been forgotten. Uncle Jim told them that McKinley had been just as good, if not a better, friend of the colored race as Reed; that he was certain to be nominated and that it was their duty, in his judgment, to get on board the band wagon. A vote was taken and all but one voted to go for McKinley. The next morning the lone Reed delegate called on Uncle Jim and said: "Mr. Burke, Ise been thinking over what you said last night, and I have seen a new light. I believe Mr. McKinley is our friend and I shall vote for him." McKinley got the delegates from the old North State, but Mr. Pritchard subsequently failed to make good when it came to a distribution of the patronage plums, which many people believe is one reason why the Republican-Populist alliance in North Carolina did not hold together for any length of time. Inventer Jones Speaks Continued From 1st page They sailed for the Hudson. The Mayflower anchored off Cape Cod From November 9 till December 22 they explored the Sunless Sea, and then on Plymouth Rock, founded the famous colony without the knowledge of the corporation that claimed the territory and without the sanction of government by which it was charter.

This Congress opens with brand volumes in the history of the United States. Old things sometimes pass Since Appomattox a generation has All the great civil and military are dead. The question that for an than a half-century divided partic inundating the nation with blood the crime of '73, the theft of the Presidency, Greenback, the tariff, government by junction, free coinage of silver are more. The Republican party has been in power about forty years. It has made some mistakes. It has had some tough leaders an dsome hard bosses. It has leaders and some hard bosses. It has conceded too much to popular sentiment. The discharge of the 25th Infantry, colored, is one of those evil aspects caused by popular errors. Now and then the people have become vexed and kicked the stuffing out of it, but the estrangement has been only casual and temporary. The majority has been with the party and is still with it and is likely to remain with it. The people are too wise to be driven away from their party by such mistakes as was made by Roosevelt. The negro has a better right to enjoy the full right of citizenship than any of the other nationalities. Therefore, American born we are, American born we shall die. How long, Oh! Lord, holly and true shall our blood be avenged upon him that dwelleth in the earth. It caused great commotion in heaven; even God himself was moved. Shall we give up in despair? Shall we stack arms? Shall we say to one another, Lo, there is no God to help us or shall we worship idol gods? Let us line up that we will appear as Gideon. Then the echoes to our victory I fancy will be heard.

A very pretty scene was enacted on Thursday evening, December 27. The occasion was the marriage, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Thomas, of Ivy City, of their daughter, Reiter Lucinda, to Dr. William H. Sutherland, of Newark, N. J. Dr. Sutherland is a graduate of Avery Institute and of the Dental Department of Howard. He has practiced his profession about two years. His success is shown by his willingness to enter the marital state. His bride is a graduate from the Manual Training School, accomplished in many ways, bright in conversation, and beautiful in appearance. She is known as "The Belle of Ivy City." At the ceremony the bride wore her traveling costume, consisting of a white chiffon hat lined with panne velvet and trimmed with ostrich feathers, a white silk waist trimmed with French lace and imported embroidery, and a skirt of navy-blue broadcloth, very handsome. The groom wore a suit of conventional black made of finished worsted. Among the guests were many persons of prominence. The list included members of the faculty of Howard University, James F. Bundy and wife, Atorneys Thomas Walker and L. G. Gregory, Col. Perry Carson, MMr. W. S. Jackson and many others. Silver plate and decorated china predominated among the gifts, which were maany and handsome. Rev. Dr. Sterling N. Brown was the officiating clergyman. The bridal party left for their honeymoon the saem night. Their future home is Newark, N. J. THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Friday night, December 28, 1906, quite a representative gathering assembled in the main auditorium of True Reformers' Hall to listen to the music furnished by Prof. Charles E. Giles and his orchestra, known as the "Lyric Orchestra," which were given a hearing by Col. Giles B. Jackson, Director General of the Negro Development Company before selecting music for the Theatrical Department of the Jamestown Exposition. This request was made by W. R. Griffin, the chief of the True Reformers of Washington, who made the request to allow Mr. W. Sidney Pitman to enter the contest with other competitors for the Exposition Building. Mr. Griffin's life work has been in trying to make opportunities for the development of the talent among the race. Those who were among the invited guests were Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, Editor of The Bee, Prof. Williston of Fisk University, V. W. Tandy of Cornell University, Rev. D. Webster Davis of Richmond, Va., W. Sidney Pitman, J. A. Lankford, Prof. Robert Kelser of Richmond, Va., who represented Giles B. Jackson to the satisfaction of his many hearers, and Mr. F. D. Lee, the supervisor of the Washington branch office. The speakers were loud in their praises of the musicians. Washingtonians should feel grateful because of the very existence of the Negro Development and Expositon Company because the first honors were won by a Washington architect. Richmond and New York won second and third honors; they secured the contractor and builder. We should quit fighting men who are proving their real worth to their race by their success in the face of great opposition. If we do our full duty in behalf of the Expositon, not one of us will have reason to complain. Morning and evening services at Trinity Baptist Church were well attended last Sunday in True Reformers' Hall. The evening services were unusually large. Many new persons added their names to the church roll. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor preached two most eloquent and logical sermons. The singing by the new choir was good. Miss Clarice Jones presided at the organ. There were about sixty children in attendance at the Sabbath school, which is now thoroughly organized. Trustee Delaney is arranging for a monster religious mass-meeting, which will be held some time this month. The watch meeting, Monday evening, was largely attended; fully four hundred people were present. The entire church membership has been organized into clubs, and each club has guaranteed to secure twenty-five new church members and to collect a sufficient amount of funds to enable the trustees to begin the erection of a new church edifice next spring. Rev. Taylor is in hopes of having one of the largest churches were many, beautiful, and valuable. There is no doubt of the popularity of Rev. Taylor among his people. The membership of the New Trinity Baptist Church has increased from 225 to 500 already. Those who left Shiloh and joined the new church consisted of the most wealthy and best-paying members. The Rowe family is the largest and most wealthy family in Shiloh. This family is with Rev. Taylor Mr. and Mrs. Rowe are two of the most influential persons who left Shiloh and they are at the head of a large working club in Trinity. DON'T MISS THIS MEETING.

Soon after the war the war the church trustees put in 2 claim for damages, but the government refused it, and allowed only a smalt rental.

The evidence tended to show that the church buflding was used by the federal soldiers for almost the entire duration of the war. The building ‘Was built in 1858 or 1859, and was as good as new when the war broke out. John Robinson, then a small boy, sold ple to the soldiers, and hence was able to tell’ that the troops occupled the church and the condition of the build- ing at the close of the war, There was a fort or trench dug around or in front of the church—a deep ditch, &cross which “fence ralls .were lald angling to prevent a charge. There waa some kind of a stockade built tn- side the fortification, and the bell tow- er, or cupalo, was torn away and a small-platform built upon the top, where sentinels would sit all day with field. glasses surveying the country arbund for miles, looking fdr the ene- my. There were no trees on the pral- tle then to obstruct the view, The church will probably get $500 or $600 from the government. RULES TRIBE LIKE A QUEEN, Daughter of Founder of 8t.

Mutual or Fire Buys Cottage for David Brend in Native Village and Orders Weekly Pay- Andrew Carnegle dis- ciple that David Brand, having his days in a London pound and been a classmate of school in Dunfermline. The multi-millionaire took part of the poorhouse and gave his cottage and a pension in his cottage. Lewis was a year older and much bigger than the boy who was destined to be one of the richest men in the world. Occasionally when he met the chap on his way to school Brand used to give him a ride "pick-a-baas. They were good friends in these days, but could hardly be called chums, for Carnegie even then was disposed to take life seriously and didn't go in much for games, while Brand, being big and strong, made the most of his opportunities for play. Carnegie left for America with his parents when he was only 11 years old. He called on Brand to bid him good-by before starting. Brand remembers that on that occasion he shared an apple with him. They never corresponded. Brand, as the older and bigger boy, naturally felt that he was far more likely to amount to something in the world than the barefooted, cannle little ladies. Brand prospered fairly well for many years. He established himself in business in Edinburgh and later emigrated to London. In the metropolis he made a comfortable livelihood, according to his story, A Schoolmate of Carnegie Who Has Been Given a Pension.) He swindled out of his business. He was so old then to make a fresh start and two years ago had relied on that last refuge of the poor, snuck--the poorhouse. Of course before this he had heard of the last fortune made by the little stair with whom he had gone to school in Dunfermline. But it never occurred to him to appeal to Andrew Carnegie for assistance. He had too much棱 pride for that. A London journalist happened to run across him in the poorhouse of which he was an inmate, and, perceiving that he was a man who had eroded seen better times, engaged him in conversation. In telling his story brand casually mentioned his boyfriend acquaintance with Carnegie. 'Why don't you write to Mr. Carnegie and ask him to do something for you?' asked the journalist. "No I couldn't do that," replied Brand. "he was a nice little chap when I knew him, but like as not he has forgotten all about me, and, anyway, I has no claim upon him." The journalist wrote to Mr. Carnegie at Skibo castle, putting the case before him. It elicited a prompt response from Mr. Carnegie's secretary, asking additional particulars which would be Mr. Carnegie to identify Brand a recollection of the company's early boyhood had become what obscure in the course of a year and strenuous life. Also he asked what sort of help would be acceptable to the old man. When question was put to Brand he asked if I think if I was supplied with a small plot of land in my place I could make a living. Journalist wrote another letter to Brand, telling him of the ideas and supplying the additional information. Mr. Carnegie posed answered the letter himself. I have no doubt," he wrote, "that Mr. Brand says about his early job is absolutely correct in every detail. An old man of 70 cannot be expected to cultivate land. He had to be considered one of my pensions. If he will go back to his native place he will put him on my pension at 15 shillings ($3.75) a week. He may be able to earn a few shillings a week in other ways." Brand gratefully accepted the offer. Mr. Carnegie sent the money to pay his railway fare to Scotland and to provide him with some decent cloth. He is now back in Culture after his experience of the town, house his humble cottage the town is a veritable paradise to Australian Woman Has Arms of Country Palented on Her Gown. 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 MARIE MUSILY 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 Gollad 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 DeZavala chapter, Daughters of the Republic, but when the Alamo purchase and preservation proposition came urgently to the fore, interest in LaBahla flagged.

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."

Something About Red Men Who Recently Left Their Reservation —Marriage Customs of the Race. Washington.--Whether the band of Ute Indians, who were brought to a halt, recently, after trailing some 500 miles diagonally across the state of Wyoming, were really out on the warpath, or merely playing truant, seems to be open to question. Indian Commissioner Leupp believes they were only "out visiting." The episode serves, at any rate, to draw public attention not only to the history and characteristics of an interesting tribe, but to the infrequency with which our red-skinned wards figure in the day's news. Two decades ago such a performance as this of the Utes would have passed all but unnoticed. The Ute, or Utah Indians, form a division of the Shoshonean family, formerly occupying the region which extends from the Salt Lake basin in Utah eastward to the highest ridges of the Colorado Rockies. When, in the early days of the last century, American hunters and pioneers first came in contact with them, the Utes were a powerful nation of some 25,000 souls. By the year 1841, however, when John C. Fremont made his first pathfinding expedition across the Rockies, they had been reduced through constant warfare with the Cheyennes and the Comanches to something like 18,000 persons. More WILLIAM H. A Ute Indian Chief, fighting, amalgamation with neighboring tribes, and disease continued to deplete their numbers fearfully. In 1881 they numbered but 4,000, and in 1901, when the last enumeration was attempted, there were scarcely more than 2,500 of them. The Utes have never been known either for their docility or their tractability, and whenever they have come into close proximity to the palefaces there has been trouble. The Ute Nation consists of 15 direct tribes, but for many years it has been divided into three greater divisions. Of these the Southern Utes have retained their residence in Colorado, while the branches known as the White River Utes and their kinsmen, the Uncompahgres, have lived since 1880 on the Untah reservation in Utah. The very interesting customs and laws of the Utes, however, are common to all three divisions. There is a certain appropriateness in their living in Utah from the fact that a significant domestic practice of the people is polygany. Time was when it was very much commoner than it is to-day, but that was when warfare kept the number of braves down, and the women outnumbered the men by more than three to one. The men marry at 18, the women at from 13 to 15, and if a Ute squaw remains unmarried at 20, she is treated as a pariah and stands a very good chance of being put to death as a witch before she is 40. Ute marriage customs are peculiar. When a young girl reaches a marriageable age her parents shut her up in the tepee, where she is compelled to fast for four or five days. At the end of that time invitations are sent to the friends of the family, who gather about the tepee, where they are feasted, and then all, men and women alike, engage in a weird dance, shaking rattles, blowing on reed pipes and singing incantations. The parents felign disgust and go frequently to the door and bld them disperse. A commonly practiced procedure is to place the malden on a couch of boughs over heated stones. Upon these stones water is poured and the victim is given a thorough steaming. After that she is led to the river for a plunge, and is then considered worthy of a husband. The courting time is ordinarily during the harvesting of the Utes' greatest crop, the mesquite bean. The young man approaches the father of the malden humbly and asks the hand of the daughter. The father simulates rage and orders him away. The youth obeys, but returns shortly decked out in his gaudiest feathers, beads and paint. It always happens that the malden is alone, whereupon they become acquainted, and then, if she is favorable to his quest, they go for a long walk or ride together in the woods. When they return they are considered married. They at once begin housekeeping in the home of the bride's mother, where they remain until the first child is born. The young brave then sets up his own tepee. "STORK" MAYOR BUSY ALTON, ILL. EXECUTIVE MADE FAMOUS BY BIRDS. Writes Many Letters to Children Asking for Little Brothers and Sisters-Gets Live Birds From Chicago.—Mayor Edmund Beall, who is regarded in Alton as being the most successful and busiest mayor Alton ever had, and who has the record of putting Alton in the front rank in Illinois for the amount of public street improvements made, finds time in every day of the last month to keep up a unique correspondence with the little children, most of whom he has never seen. It was after the arrival of a pair of live storks sent to Mayor Beall by Carl Hagenbeck of Stellingen, near Hamburg, Germany, as an expression of the indorsement of Mayor Beall's ideas about having big families, that the snow-headed mayor of Alton began to receive letters from little folks in neighboring cities. The letters were couched in childish terms, but in many cases between the lines could be read the promptings of a fond parent. The letters which the mayor most delights to answer are those from his little correspondents asking the mayor if he would be so kind as to send his storks to bring a little baby brother or sister to the home to be a playmate for the leseneous little writer. "Mamma would be ready with the clothes for the baby," the writers would say, "some time within a few weeks or a month," and if Mayor Beall would just let his birds make a visit and bring a STORIES EDMOND BEALL. (Mayor of Alton, Ill., Made Famous by Storks.) baby he would make a lonesome little boy or girl very happy. With a spirit which makes Mayor Beall known in Alton as one of the greatest lovers of the little folk, he writes to cach and all that he will send the storks for a visit at the time suggested, if papa and mamma are willing and ready to take care of a baby, and in some cases he has received acknowledgment from the little folks that the birds came and filled the order as promised. The storks are still one of the most interesting things in Alton. The donor of the birds told Mayor Beall they were more difficult to get than any wild animal he had ever captured. The belief in Germany and Holland that the birds are omens of good luck and that he who touches them to do them harm would be visited by all forms of dire calamity, is a charm that protects the birds from any molestation. Efforts to get the birds for Mayor Beall proved futile until someone discovered a nest on a building on the Hagenbeck place. The young birds were captured and put in a crate and shipped to New York, from there to be sent to Washington to be acclimated and thence to Alton. The fact that they were to go to Washington caused a mlsapprehension that they were for President Roosevelt, and it was eight days before the mayor finally persuaded the express agency at New York that the birds were for him and that they must be shipped at once direct to Alton. He would take no more chances by shipping them to Washington as he feared that they might be sent to the White house, and he very much desired that they be kept in his block of houses at Alton, where every family is privileged to have as many babies as it pleases without fear of being compelled to move out of the houses on account of the children. The stork, Mayor Beall said, was to be the emblem of his big block of houses, the best kept tenement houses in all Alton. When the birds came to Alton they were warmly housed for the winter and are being given close attention so they will grow big, and Mayor Beall's hope may be realized that they will build a nest on his chimney and bring him and his neighbors good luck. How the Worm Family Grows. How the Worm Family Grows. An earthworm has more methods of increasing its family than a top onion. They lay eggs by the thousands, and every egg is sure to hatch. Then, after laying season is over, the females will pull out little pink spines, and every spine of this sort will grow into a worm and drop off and crawl away just as if it was the most approved way of making worms. Finally, when the worm becomes old and fat they seem to break in two from their own weight, and instead of going to a worm hospital or bleeding to death, as they should do, the wound heals up right away, and there are two perfect worms where there had only been one. Rockefeller to Have a Private Pond at Lakewood, N. J. Lakewood, N. J.—Next to golf, John D. Rockefeller's favorite outdoor pastime is skating. Although he is within three years of attaining the Biblical fulness of age, threecore years and ten, Mr. Rockefeller, when he puts on a pair of skates and gets on the ice, is as agile as a boy of 12. In order that he may indulge his fondness for this pastime, and at the same time avoid the publicity which attends his every movement, Mr. Rockefeller is making at his country place here an artificial lake, four acres in extent. A small army of workmen is Site of Rockefeller's Artificial Lake. now engaged in making the excavation for the lake. The site of this skating pond was chosen with much care by Mr. Rockefeller. His estate at Lakewood comprises 500 acres, most of it pine forest. It is back from the road about an eighth of a mile and the house is screened from the view of observers by a thick barrier of pine trees. Mr. Rockefeller has chosen a sheltered spot for his lake, about 100 yards be yond this barrier. Should any curious visitor succeed in getting through this pine hedge, he would find himself in a patch of thickly grown nettle, through which it would be impossible to break his way. Beyond this nettle patch is to be the skating pond. On the border of the further shore of the lake is a water tower, which serves also the purpose of a watch tower. A balcony has been built around this tower, and whenever Mr. Rockefeller is out on the grounds, whether playing golf or riding his bicycle over the miles of smooth roads that he has built, a watchman is stationed in this balcony to give warning of approaching intruders. SOCIETY LEADER CARRIES CANE. Pretty Pauline French Starts Fad at Newport. Newport, R. I. — Miss Pauline, French, the pretty niece of Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, has taken on the cane-carrying habit, and every morning and afternoon, when she is not speeding her high-stepping pony she may be seen hiking up and down Bellevue avenue, using a handsome walking stick, man-fashion. As Miss French is a leader among the young set of girls, it is probable that the fad will be taken up generally among the young people and that in the near future the society belle without her cane will be an uncommon sight. Tall and stately, as well as pretty, Miss French, with her cane in her Miss Pauline French. hand, presents a very attractive picture. Cane carrying among women appears to be a natural development of a tendency of the time. After the manner of the London girls, society belles tried carrying stuffed bears during the summer, but the American girl is too vivacious to keep steady company with such an inanimate object. Then more than ever the women took to carrying their pet poodles about in their arms, but the little fellows did not like it, and their constant squirming became a menace to lace sleeves. The cane, however, is a help in itself, and now that women must carry something to really be in style, it is evidently to be the thing. Miss French's cane has a handle shaped like a shepherd's crook. It is bound with gold splendidly chased and is adorned with a ribbon bow which is changed daily to match the costume. A. Natural Query. Mrs. Snobson (to Mrs. Slith)—nee Vere de Vere—whom she has been cutting, but, meeting her at the duchess's, makes up her mind to be civil)—So glad to see you, Mrs. Smith!

The Illustrate Zeitung speaks of Moses Mirsky, the Russian lad, 12 years old, whose voice has attracted much attention, as the Wundersaenger. He is the son of Russian Jewish parents and was reared in London, where he was heard in public for the first time three years ago. He began as a singer of synagogue music. --- Gans Knocks Out Herman in Eighth Round. CHICAGO MAN OUTCLASSED. Kid's Blows Have Little Effect, and Negro Wins at Leisure. Full Swing on Jaw After Eight Rounds of Toying on Gans' Part Sends Herman to Sleep for Three Minutes—Small Crowd Sees Bout, and Tonopah Club Loses Money—More Big Purses Offered by Rival Nevada Promoters. Herman—Best man won. Gans—He's a game fighter. After the fight Herman said: "There is no getting away from it, the best man won. I made the best fight that was in me against a superior man. I cannot deny that he is the best man, and I do not begrudge him his victory." Gans bore his easily won honors with the best of grace. "It was just as I expected," said the champion. "I had Herman outclassed. He was game, but he never had a chance to win." Tonopah, Nev., Jan. r.—Joe Gans fought true to the "dope" today. After playing with Herman for eight rounds, the champion landed a full swing on the point of Herman's jaw, and Chicago's favorite fighter went down and out. It was apparent from the start that Herman had little chance. Gans easily blocked his blows, and at no time was Gans worried in the least. In the first round Gans started to feel things out. Herman was willing to fight, but the champion stalled him off. Herman's attempts to land mostly ended in a failure in the second round. Gans blocked Herman's leads with glove and elbow, and when the opportunity presented itself shot right and left jolts to his opponent's face. The third and fourth rounds were repetitions of the second. It was very plainly seen that Herman was the favorite with the crowd. When he landed the crowd cheered wildly. Gans only drew applause when he fought his cleverest. In the fifth round Gans, having measured his man, slowed down. This was the only round in which Herman made any showing. He waded in and swung hard rights and left at the champion. Gans appeared careless, and a number of the blows landed. The crowd cheered madly for the Chicagoan. Opened for Knock-Out. The sixth and seventh rounds were all Gans'. In the eighth Gans started out by feinting and drawing Herman's fire. They fiddled around the ring until Gans worked his opponent into a corner. Joe feinted with his left. Herman swung wildly with his left, and gave an opening.. Like a flash Gans whipped left, and then a swinging right, flush on the point of the jaw. Herman dropped like a log, with his face buried in his hands. He lay motionless at the edge of the ring: Gans walked away. It was all over. Nate Lewis ran around the ring to where the Kid lay, and begged him to rise, but Herman was senseless. At the count of ten, Lewis and Adam Ryan carried their protege to his corner, where three minutes elapsed before he came to. In the second round the men were milling fiercely when the gong sounded. Herman stepped back from a clinch. Gans, not hearing the bell, landed a hard right on the neck.. The crowd hissed and hooted. Gans faced the crowd, and made a public apology. Not content with it, Gans went to Herman's corner and explained that he had not heard the gong. Hisses turned to cheers as Gans returned to his corner. Gans Under 133 Pounds. The result was never in doubt from the moment the men first put up their hands, for it was generally conceded that Gans outclassed in every detail known to the prize ring. Gans was never in better shape. Although he scaled under the light-weight limit of 133 pounds, he was as strong as a bull and faster than in his recent 42-round mill with Battling Nelson. Gans, with his great record as a knocker-out, was regarded as a sure winner, and from the very outset he demonstrated that Herman had no business in the ring with him. Herman devoted his time in the early part of the fight to punching Gans in the body, but his blows did not have the power to do the intended damage. As the battle progressed Gans gradually sized the Chicago boy up, and when he finally cut loose with his famous attack, Herman looked like a novice. Gans drew blood from Herman's nose in the first round, and scored a knock-down in the third. It was in the sixth that Gans began to fight with all his skill and strength, with the result that Herman was almost knocked through the ropes. After that, in spite of Herman's pluck and willingness to mix it, he was forced to take a terrific beating. Negro Played Game Well. He was cut over the eye with an uppercut in the seventh round, and was put to sleep in the eighth round with a heavy right on the point of the jaw, after he had been severely jarred with a left on the jaw. Herman was knocked out as clean as a whistle. There was no accident about it, for it. was the result of calm deliberation on the part of Gans, who had been looking for this sort of an opening all through the contest. In science, generalship, hitting, and foot-work, Gans was easily the master. He put up a better fight, it appears, than in the battle with Nelson and proved beyond peradventure that he is still the greatest fighter of his weight and inches in the ring today. After the battle, Tex. Rickard, who pulled off the Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield, repeated his offer, made before the mill, of a $50,000 purse for Gans to meet the Dane again at Goldfield. Manager Riley, of the Tonopah Club, quickly came to the scratch with a similar offer, at the same time declaring that he would equal the bid of any Nevada promoters for this mill. Riley, it is underwood, will offer $30,000 for Gans to meet Jimmy Britt. Gans said tonight that he would take on Nelson again for one of the $50,000 purses as soon as the Dane was ready to sign articles. Leffries Not at Battle A heavy snowstorm and freezing temperature made the day unusually bleak for the crowd that came to town from the neighboring mining camps. The trains were late and some of them were stalled, so that many would-be spectators did not get here at all. Among the latter was Champion James J. Jeffries, who left Los Angeles on Sunday. The town began to fill up early in the morning, however, and food was soon, at a premium. The big arena, roofed over, was heated by means of huge stoves, and was not cold by any means when the crowd began to file in. There were many women in the ilrong, as was the case at the Ganss-Nelson fight, and all of them stepped up to the box office and paid. The unavailoble weather probably cost the club, at least $10,000 in receipts, but it that there were more than five thousand spectators in the building then Lew Powell, of San Francisco, and Adani Ryan, of Chicago, were put into the ring for a ten-round preliminary. It was an interesting go, and the occasion was a draw. The announcer read the articles of agreement, and challenges from James Britt and Dick Hyland to meet the winner. Just before they peeled off their coats, Tex. Rickard offered to bet any part of $10,000 on Gans. He got $4,000 on against $1,000. Both fighters wore breech clouts and black shoes. They stripped in splendid shape and shook hands a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Fight by Rounds Round 1. —Herman led for the body, missed, and they went to a clinch. The men sparred and in a clinch Herman sent his right round the kidneys. Gans then drove a wicked right swing to the jaw and followed it with a right to the head, and they went to a clinch. At close quarters Herman poked his right to the head. Herman missed the left for the body, and quick as a flash Gans whipped right and left to the nose, bringing a thin stream of blood from that organ. Gans swung a terrific right to the face and walloped Herman with right to ribs. Herman, just as the gong sounded, planted his left to the champion's face. The round was Gans', but Herman smiled in a confident manner as he took his corner. Round 2.—Herman covered up, and they worked to close quarters. Herman landing right and left to the body. The men then mixed it, and a furious rally followed. Herman had the better of an exchange of body blows. More in-fighting followed, in which both men displayed great cleverness in blocking the other's attempts. Herman swung his left hard to the ribs, but Gans retaliated with two hard rights to the jaw that forced the Ghetto Kid to a clinch. Mixing it. Gans drove his right to the ribs and sent Herman staggering back with right to the neck. As the gong rang Gans hit Herman on the face with a right and shook hands with Herman as an apology. Not content with this, Gans left his seat, stalked over to Herman's corner, and again shook hands with his opponent. The round favored Gans slightly. Round 3.—Herman, after a clinch, swing a hard right to the ear, and they then exchanged blows. Gans nearly floored his man with a right to the neck. Herman was in quickly, and tried with right and left for the body, but received a left to the face that would have sent him outside the ring had not the ropes saved him. Gans followed the advantage with a short-arm right and felt body blows. Gans then sent Herman to the floor with a left hook over the ribs. Herman, however, was off his balance, and the blow left no telling effects. Gans had far the better of the round, but Herman showed little distress. Herman Lands Many Blows. Round 4. After a clinch, Herman swung right to ribs and left to the stomach. They mixed at close range, and Herman nettled Gans with short-arm right to the head. Both men then missed terrific right swings, and Herman landed a left on the stomach. Gans planted his right to the jaw, and they exchanged lefts to the stomach. Herman swung a hard right to the jaw, and followed with a heavy left to the stomach that made Gans wince. It was on even round. Round 5. After half minute's sparring, Herman swung left to the body, following it with a right to the same place, and then rushed Gans into a corner, landing right and left high on the body. Gans then shot out his right and it landed on Herman's jaw. The latter, however, sent the crowd into paroxysms by driving Gans to the ropes with left and right swings to the jaw and face. Herman sent straight left to the face, but Gans countered with two hard rights to the jaw. The gong ended an even round, Herman's showing thus far had been excellent. Round 6. — Gans cleverly Locked several leads by Herman and peppered the latter's face and body with rights and lefts at close range. Both men were cool, but Gans bore a determined look. Herman was on the aggressive, and received a right hook to the jaw that sent his hear back a foot. "Cover and fall in" came the injunction from Herman's seconds as Gans, at long range, drove his right again and again to the Kid's fee. Gns almost sent Herman through the ropes with right hooks to the jaw. Gans had a big lead in this round, and Herman lost his jaunty air as he sought his seat. Round 7. — Herman opened the round with a left swing to the ribs, but Gans more than got even with two rights and a left to the stomach. Herman rallied and landed his left and then a right over the ribs, and they went to a clinch. Gans forced the fighting, and getting Herman to the ropes, planted right and left to the face. Herman fought back wildly, and as he closed in Gans met him with a terrific right uppercut in the face that left its mark over the Hebrew's eye. Gans followed his man to a corner, and they exchanged kidney blows. The bell elanged as the men were sparring. It was, Gans round, and he looked like the winner. Round 8.—Gans sent a straight left to the face and Herman retaliated with right to the jaw and followed his man around the ring, cornering him, but failing in attempts to land. Suddenly Gans shot out his left and right squarely to the jaw, his man dropped as though hit by a board. He made no attempt to rise. It was as clean a knockout as ever took place in a ring.

The Negro Development and Exposition Company of the United States of America, a company duly chartered under the laws of Virginia, with an authorized capital stock of $800,000, proposes to show at the Exposition what the race has made, produced, woven, carved, engraved, invented, written and published; in fact, everything the race has done or accomplished, from an industrial point of view, that the world may form a correct and favorable opinion of the Negro race of this country; to the end that a proper solution of the problem may be had from a business, commercial, financial, and in dustrial point of view. It has, therefore, been decided to ask every member of our race to list for exhibition any and every article made by any member of the race. It is the desire of the Company to have a complete exhibit of every character, except live stock. Our women are noted for embroidery, and handsome trimmings, knitting, weaving, and hundreds of other domestic productions; while our men are noted for their skill in drawing, carving, inventing, welding, and putting together articles of value too numerous to name; all such articles and hundreds of others are solicited for exhibition. Implements of every character are much desired. There will be given a first, a second, and a third prize on the various articles produced and exhibited by members of the race. The Congress of the United States has appropriated $100,00 to aid the said Negro Development and Exposition Company in making a creditable exhibit at the said Jamestown Exposition. Now, in order to list the articles for exhibition, it is requested by the Company for all persons who have articles for exhibition, to write the names of said articles on the coupon below, giving the full name of the owner, his or her residence, together with P. O. address. In every instance, please write plainly, that the articles may be listed so as to be sent for in time to be placed on exhibition. It is incumbent upon every member of the race to see to it that this Exposition is made a success; as the world has its eyes upon us and expects great results.

Many a noble ship, richly laden with the proudest spoils of human industry and enterprise, and freighted with that which is dearer still—human life—has passed away with the morning sunlight glittering on its snowy canvas, passed away, never to arrive at its destination; passed away forever from the ken and knowledge of men as completely as if it had never been in existence. What has become of those vanished argosies? Whither have they gone? 101 When the seas give up their dead, and the old ocean lays bare its secrets, the human skeletons, the virgin gold, the priceless gems, the costly jewels, and the wrecks of those vanished ships will be found strewn amid the tremendous passes and deep defiles of those submerged mountain ranges which are the backbones of lost continents, upon those topmost peaks, projecting near the surface of the seas, these lost convoys have been dashed to destruction! The mariner's compass and the navigator's chart have not been able to protect commerce from the wreck and ruin of these submerged ridges, but the good ship "Co- COLUMBIA CLUB lumbia," richly laden with its precious cargo of "Columbia Club," the purest and best whiskey in the world, launched and navigated by William J. Donovan from the famous Baseball House, located at 1528 Seventh street, N. W., with the Stars and Stripes glittering from its gaff and defiance to all competitors thundering from its steel-clad turrets, has weathered every gale and returned safely from every voyage, because Mr. Donovan knows the highways of successful enterprise are strewn with the derelicts of pretension and misrepresentation, and that quality alone, and quality strictly and strenuously adhered to, is the only court and surest recommendation of those who wish to indulge in the delicious, stimulating, health-giving virtue of a truly honest American whiskey—the "Columbia Club."
