VOL. XXVI.NO. 41 OPEN LETTER OPEN LETTER Je Hon, George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury: Sir. Your ability as a diplomat having been recognized by three different Presidents, your honesty and integrity having been established beyond question, I desire to congratulate you on your advancement to the secretaryship of the greatest business department in the entire world. There is no man in the government service, Mr. Cortelyou, who can say less and do more effective work than your distinguished self. Ex-President Cleveland found great elements of pride in you; the late President McCoy found it necessary to perpetuate your greatness, and President Roosevelt deemed it advisable to permit you to put your greatness and worth into execution by first making you Secretary of Commerce and Labor, in which position you acquitted yourself with honor and dignity. The President concluded that office was too small for the man, hence you were promoted to the Postmaster Generalship. So well have you performed the duties of that office by the prosecution of grafters you have been transferred and promoted to a still greater office, namely, the secretaryship of the Treasury Department of the United States. No man, Mr. Cortelyou, in so short a period of time has made such a record, and no man so young has so distinguished himself. It is a record that will be handed down to posterity as a monument of which any nation cannot help from admiring. But, Mr. Cortelyou, have you ever thought of the millions of colored Americans who are now being discriminated against? Will you never turn your attention to the gross discrimination in the several departments under your new administration? Will you correct existing evils and abuses against the colored Americans in the several offices of your new department, especially in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing? Your late predecessor, Mr. Shaw, partly corrected one gross evil and wrong against the colored employees in the washroom of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by placing in that branch windows that would enable faithful employees to more freely breathe. No white laborer, no matter how ignorant he may be, is seldom or ever placed in this branch of the government service. Colored men who has passed the Civil Service exam before he left for the West. He retention are generally sent to the washroom, where they remain until they contract heavy colds and die of consumption. I also desire to call your attention to the usurpination against colored men who are classed as laborers and are doing the same work, but don't receive the same pay. Will you correct these evils, Mr. Cortelyou] The colored Americans are human; they cannot and dare not speak of these wrongs, but must tamely submit to them or be discharged. It is asserted by some that this is a commercial administration, in which human rights cut no figure. Don't be deceived. Human rights should be paramount issues in every government. Without human rights, there can be no good government. It will be the downfall of Russi and indeed no government is safe that fails to protect the rights of the people. You declared to Mr. Cleveland, at one you were asked by him to be his private secretary, that you were publican, you were told that it made difference. The late President rec the colored Americans have been al- taught to believe that all Repub- isare their friends, in whom they look for protection and recogni- but is this true in every instance? we believe that many a man calling if a Republican is more inimical than those who believe in the lives of the Democratic party. There and Democrats in the South, and are many, I am informed, that are led and influenced by the good women in the South who will not or allow outrages to be perpe- upon the colored people. I do believe that the good white women in the South indorse these outrages that frequently committed upon colored lives. There are many who believe human rights. There are many who are no sympathy for the rights of the oppressed. Coming, as you do, from the great State of New York, the metropolis of the world, all men should look alike to you. All men should be treated as American citizens. I hope that you will see the force of this letter, and believe me to be Very respectfully, The Editor. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY LEAVE THE COUNTRY HOWARD LEAVE THE COUNTRY HOWARD UNIVERSITY A SOLUTION OF THE NEGRO QUESTION. Washington, D. C., Feb. 25, 1907. To His Excellency, the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States: I have the honor to submit: The feasibility of a voluntary and moderate emigration by the Negroes of this country is admitted by the best thinkers. Men no longer concern themselves with the idea of a wholesale or forced retreat of the Negro population. The legal and physical impossibilities of such a scheme render its advocates subject to the appellation of visionaries. But the best minds of both races, becoming discouraged over the state of affairs existing in this country (as at tested by recent legislation) have realized that the congested conditions and the terrible social, political and economic stress of the present time may be in some degree relieved by drawing off gradually and steadily the large Negro [Name] Such a gradual efflux would tend to the solution of present problems and to the betterment of both races— 1. It would by reducing the number of Negroes in this country render them less liable to class legislation. 2. It would by reducing the number of those remaining make the task of educating them a less difficult and arduous one. b. Where the population is more nearly allied to them by racial ties. c. Where the competition is less strenuous. polyclinic educa Howard Uni education for doors open for After hearing evidence for the defense in the Cardoza case, from 3 o'clock until midnight, the Board of Education Monday adjourned until 3 p.m. today. Francis L. Cardoza was on the stand when the adjournment was taken. The courtroom was crowded with interested persons who listened intently to the testimony of the accused supervising principal. Henry E. Davis, senior counsel for Cardoza, withdrew Monday from the case, being replaced by Mason N. Richardson. Cardoza denied absolutely that he wrote the anonymous letter upon which the case hinges, and said that none of the teachers mentioned was in his division, and that he did not know their ratings. He insisted that he had always been loyal to Assistant Superintendent Montgomery, and his tttorneys produced a great many witnesses to prove that from the beginning of last summer's agitation Cardoza had supported Montgomery for the position of assistant superintendent, and had advised others to do so, and that he was active in attempting to promote a coalition between the supporters of Montgomery and thos* of Charles S. Clark, supervising principal, who ws at that time a candidate for the superintendency of the Washington schools. NOT ASPIRANT FOR OFFICE. Cardoza denied emphatically and produced a number of witnesses to testify that he had "never in any way, shape, or form" desired or attempted to obtain the office of assistant superintendent of colored schools, his only aim being to do his whole duty in his office of supervising principal. Cardoza testified that he, as soon as he read of the selection of Dr. Chancellor to the superintendency, wrote a letter of congratulation to the new superintendent, and expressed a hope that he might continue to serve as a supervising principal. He received a notice Monday, October 1, to appear at the Franklin School the following day. When he reached Dr. Chancellor's office he there met Admiral Baird, W. V. Cox, J. F. Oyster, and J. F. Cook, of the board. Dr. Chancellor began the conference by asking the witness if he had always been loyal to Assistant Superintendent Montgomery. The stillness in the crowded court room was oppressive as the respondent told of being summoned to a conference with Dr. Chancellor Tuesday, October 2; of there finding President Baird, J. F. Oyster, W. V. Cox, and J. F. Cook, of the board; of being confronted with the anonymous letter, and denying that he wrote it. Dr. Chancellor and Messrs. Baird, Cox and Cook expressed the belief, in spite of his denials, that he was its author, said the witness. Captain Oyster gave no opinion as to his guilt, but told him that things looked dark for him and urged him to be candid and tell the truth. Assistant Superintendent Montgomery was brought to the room, said the witness, and asked if Cardoza had always been loyal to him. population. DISPUTATIONUS, BUT LOYAL. Monegomy replied that Cardoza, although inclined to be disputations, had always been loyal to him. Dr. Chancellor produced seven or eight other letters, routine communications which the defendant acknowledged as his own. Dr. Chancellor then asked Cardoza if he did not think it was time for him to think about resigning or being dismissed. Between this and the time of his next interview with Dr. Chancellor he was assured by President Baird and J. F. Cook that they would do nothing further about the case unless it was brought up by Dr. Chancellor Captain Oyster, the witness said, assured him that he would have a trial and fair play. At this point of this testimony the boardjourned. Samuel C. Malone, a handwriting expert, testified at great length concerning the handwriting of the disputed letter and the admitted writings of Cardoza. He found a similarity between them, but it was not very great. When the anonymous letter was handed to this witness, Admiral Baird asked that it be examined to see that it was the same one. Mr. Richardson instantly protested against this remark, claiming that it was an insult to Cardoza's counsel. LAWYER BECOMES ANGRY. "It is an indication," he cried, "of the way in which this board has conducted the case, and its attitude toward the defendant's counsel." Admiral Baird insisted that counsel for the defense had been "indulged from alpha to omega." Witnesses who testified to Cardoza's loyalty to Montgomery and his good reputation were Supervising Principals Charles S, Clark and S. F. Kramer, B. WASHINGTON SATURDAY MARCH 9, 1907. HOWARD UNIVERSITY POST-GRADUATE COURSE AND POLYCLINIC. This history of the Medical Department of Howard University has shown that it is alive to the advanced progress made in medicine, surgery and dentistry. The fixed and definite policy has been to make the school the equal of the best in the country and to prepare graduates for State board examinations. The alumni, as a rule, are doing well, and reflect credit on their alma mater. "Nothing succeeds like success," and the school has prospered every time an advance is made in raising the standard and the curriculum. Day instruction has been a success, and the number of matriculates has increased. There were 288 registered for the session of 1906-07—the largest number in the history of the department—and most of the students are graduates of high schools or have an equivalent preliminary education. The medical and dental colleges are in full accord with their respective [Name not visible] HON WALTER I.SMITH national associations, and Howard University diplomas are recognized in every State and territory of the United States. versity diplomas are recognized in every State and territory of the United States. The time has now come when our graduates need the facilities and instruction offered by a post-graduate course and polyclinic, and the medical faculty is ready to respond to their call; hence it has been decided to inaugurate a school of post-graduate instruction in May and June, 1907, and we believe that this new feature will mark a very important epoch in the history of the school and atreducing to a minimum the number of tract a large number of practitioners to avail themselves of the ample facilities of the New Freedmen's Hospital, which is costing more than half a million dollars, is national in character and scope, and is destined to be a center or polyclinic education. Howard University stands for higher education for all the dark races, with doors open for all persons who wish to enter, irrespective of race or color. The new president, Rev. W. P. Thirkield, D.D., LL.D., stands for this idea, and brings to his work a large and ripe experience. He knows the needs of the colored people, and believes in training them for their environment. His ideas are lofty, and he intends to place Howard University in the front rank. Progress is his watchword, and the Polyclinic receives his endorsement. Unification is a necessary factor at Howard University, and the medical school is ever ready to aid him along all lines of advancement. It seems especially fitting in the year 1907 to inaugurate a post-graduate course and polyclinic as an important feature in medical and dental education because this is the fortieth year of the university, and this year the New Freedmen's Hospital will be open to the public. The School of Medicine has more than three thousand students who have availed themselves of the opportunities of icine, 169 in pharmacy, and 129 in medicine, 169 in praharmacy, and 129 in den fund would be utilized to provide a ship 3. It would relieve the congested conditions of certain portions of the South, and thereby reduce crime. 4. It would give to those who voluntarily emigrated a chance to begin life anew under more favorable circumstances; and a. In places where less prejudice exists. d. Where they would be more nearly equal to their competitors in education, etc. 6. The colonies thus planted, if successful, would offer such advantages that the remaining Negroes in the United States would gradually follow, and by Negroes in America avert the grave disasters their continued presence seems to threaten to themselves and to the whites. The projector of this scheme is convinced from investigation that there are large numbers of colored persons who would gladly embark on such an enterprise out of a yearning for their home in the East or out of dissatisfaction with existing conditions here. I have been assured, too, that the necessary grants of land can be secured in India and South Africa, and that if your Excellency's seal of approval is set upon this project the necessary funds can be easily secured and intrusted to the management of experienced financiers and accountants, so that the maximum results can be secured at minimum costs. This Continued on 4th page. tistry, making a total of 1,006,scattered over almost every part of the world—in Africa, Asia, Europe and the islands of the sea. This splendid record has been made in the face of many obstacles, the lack of funds being the chief. There will be a large expense attendant on supplying apparatus and equipping the medical, dental and pharmaceutic colleges with a post-graduate course and polyclinic, to which competent colored youth will come seeking the best and highest grade of instruction along special lines. Hence this school of instruction will have a great future in the professional education of colored men and women. Its influence will be far reaching, and the number of undergraduates attending the school of medicine will increase just in proportion as this polyclinic is a success. Parents will naturally wish their children to study at a school where ample facilities are afforded in every branch of medical, dental and pharmaceutic instruction. As Howard University is the best place for the colored professional man or woman to specialize after a thorough course of study, it is the place to send the children to prepare for their life work. Howard University will then be going her whole duty—standing for higher education along all lines for those who desire such instruction, and carrying out what was in the mind of the man whom we all love and honor—the great founder of Howard University, Gen. O. O. Howard. NIGHT SCHOOL Secretary Shadd contemplates recommending to the faculty that night Instruction be given to those employed during the day, provided the Association of American Medical Colleges will approve of his suggestion. President Thirkield and Dean Reyburn consider it feasible and just to many bright young men and women who have passed the Civil Service and have positions in the departments at Washington. Many of these are well prepared for professional studies. The matter will be definitely settled at the meeting which will be held in this city May 1907. A large number of persons were refused admission last October, Secretary Shadd desires the names of all who wish to matriculate this October, so that he may have data upon which to predicate his request that Howard University be allowed to add this feature to the curriculum. With a post-graduate course and polyclinic a five-years' course for night classes and a quiz corps to prepare graduates for State board examinations, Howard University will take first rank as a place for higher education.

San Francisco.—How would you like to live among a strange, wild people whose chief article of diet was dog, and whose daily pastime was to decapitate humans? Frank C. Cook, the first white man to penetrate into the jungles of Mindanao, did this. He became a vegetarian, exercised diplomacy and finally became head of a wild tribe and attained wealth and affluence. Cook has just arrived in San Francisco from Manila, a passenger on the United States army transport Logan. He comes back to his native land after a sojourn of seven years in the islands among the wild tribes of Mindanao. He brings with him stories of adventure and of expert FRANK COOK. (American Adventurer Who Became Head of Philippine Tribe.)ence among savages who looked upon a white man for the first time when they saw him. He also brings details of the killing of Edward Bolton, the governor of the district of Davao, who was slain several months ago by a native chieftain. When the adventurer seven years ago, alone and unattended, one day pushed aside the jungle growth to gaze into the painted faces of a horde of savages, he was startled. But the savages were more frightened than he. They fled at sight of him. It took some time, but finally Cook became friendly with the timid tribesmen. Eventually he became their leader. He led them in their tribal fights. He adjusted their differences. "It was a small tribe, the Calaganes, that I found myself among," said Cook. "They numbered 200 and were constantly at war with other tribes. They lived on dog meat, alligators and snakes. I only partook of their vegetable concoctions. "The Calaganes have strange customs. The men are not allowed to cut their hair until they are married. The headgear worn by the tribesman indicates the number of men he has killed. When I first went to live with the tribe they brought the heads of their victims to their village and displayed them on poles about their huts. There is no longer any head hunting among them. They are agriculturists." STATUE FOR A ST. PAUL PARK. Schiller Memorial to Be Unvelled on Anniversary of His Birth.

Relatives and Church in Controversy Over Property Worth $50,000. Champaign, Ill.—The village of Homer in the southern part of this county, is excited over the extraordinary gift made by Josiah Gorham, an aged resident of that place to his niece and housekeeper, Mrs. Louise Pyatt, the gift being his entire property, consisting of 320 acres of land, valued at $175 an acre. Mrs. Pyatt will have a hard time retaining the gift, however, as Gorham's son Henry, who lives in Champaign, has filed a suit in the circuit court, charging Mrs Pyatt with obtaining the property by undue influence. It is only two months ago that the woman invited her aged uncle to come from Champaign, where he had been living with his son, to establish a home in the village of Homer, where she could care for him. He readily consented, as did the son, who, however, demanded a contract from her in regard to compensation. This was agreed to, but for some reason was never written out. Rev. O. K. Doney, a Christian minister, walked into the Citizens' bank at Homer and told the cashier, Perle Wiggins, who attended to the business affairs of Josiah Gorham, that Mr. Gorham had made over his farm to Mrs. Pyatt, who would devote a part of it to foreign missionary work in the Christian church. Wiggins communicated with the son, Henry Gorham, and the latter at once instituted suit. He will allege that the old man is incapable of attending to his own affairs, and that he did not know what he was doing. GUN HAS PECULIAR HISTORY.

On account of its interesting history it will be exhibited at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, which will be held at Seattle in 1909. Here is the story, as told by the sailors of Puget sound to the awe-stricken cabin bows: When Russia owned Alaska the government was at Sitka, and the Russian cruiser Politkovsky was the guardian of law and order. The Politkovsky carried a complement of French cannon of the latest make, and was a formidable fighting craft. While on a voyage of exploration, in the neighborhood of what is now Valdes, the Indians attacked the crew, but were beaten off without much difficulty. In the melee, however, two of the politkovsky's sailors were killed, and it so happened that two Indians were captured. In revenge for the death of the sailors the captain of the warship ordered the captives tied to the mouth of the cannon and the cannon --- 1104 7th street, N. W.

Irish Emigration to This Country Has Been Enormous. Washington.—No page in history reveals such a migration as that of the Irish to America. The figures are astonishing. From 1840 to 1860 not fewer than 2,000,000 crossed the ocean to settle in the United States; from 1860 to 1880 an additional 1,000,000 made a fresh start in life in the great republic over the seas, and from 1880 to the present time another 1,000,000 was added to our population. Since 1860 the average has been 500,000 a decade. The 12 agricultural states, represented by Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, contain one fourth of the 5,000,000. Of the portion settled in the North Atlantic states but one-fifth are on farms; but this tendency to crowd into towns disappears when the surroundings are agricultural, as is shown by the large percentage—more than 50—of those who have taken to farming in the 12 agricultural states above mentioned. It is only because the bulk of the Irish in America are not in the midst of farming districts that they are less an agricultural people than the other immigrant elements added to the population. They have found an outlet for their energies in the congested districts and their wonderfully adaptive natures have allowed them easily to enter upon the industries of the people among whom they were thrown. It is in the eastern states that the Irish promise to ultimately constitute a majority of the population. This is already the case in three New England states and in many New England cities. In New York city they are barely behind the Germans and slightly so in Chicago. Learned Scholar Dead. The man who in our times has had the widest acquaintance with the literature of the time of Shakespeare died a few days ago in London. He was Mr W. F. Craig. His learning was marvelous and his scholarship profound. He had made extensive preparations for an exhaustive Shakespeare Lexicon, with illustrations from all the literature of that period. But the finest fruit of a life devoted to study was his work on the Dowden edition of Shakespeare, in the general editorship of which he was associated with Prof. Edward Dowden, of Trinity college, and in which he edited personally with supreme success King Lear. It will be difficult to find a worthy successor to Mr. Craig for the superintendence of the several volumes in the edition which remain to be printed. ```markdown ``` dead. mehr.

Y.—"Wealth" is equally distributed among the happy and prosperous people of Mount Hope township, Orange county. No millionaires live there and D. H. Holley. conscientious poormaster, has his resignation to the town boar "There are no paupers in the house, nor in dwellings, and have been for several years," said the poormaster. "There is nothing for me to do and, as I receive fees, the office does not pay me a cent, what's the use of holding it?" It was suggested to Mr. Holly that the poormaster receive one dollar for each official investigation he makes. "I know there is not a man or woman in the township who is not self-supporting," he answered, indignantly. "I will make no fake investigations for the sake of getting money." To retain the services of such a public servant the town board unanimously voted to Mr. Holly a salary of $20 a year. He accepted it and will continue to be poormaster—which goes to prove that money, not wealth, is equally distributed in Mount Hope township. HAS AN ELECTRIC PALACE. George Knap Lives in a House Full of Clever Devices. Paris.—The home of George Knap, an engineer who might well be called "the king of modern magicians," is a triumph of electricity. No servants need appear to disturb their master's tranquillity. He presses a button and a tray bearing a course rolls into the dining room. He can halt the tray at each guest's elbow. When the temperature in any electrically heated room rises above 60 degrees little bells ring. Pressure on a button silences them and reduces the temperature. Knap presses a button and the beds in every room are heated comfortably. Another and the morning meal and coffee arrive mysteriously by each bedside. Another and the blinds and windows open of themselves. Yet another and each room is filled with soft light from half-hidden lamps and permeated with subtle perfume. A marvelous speaking tube which Knap has invented would not be welcomed in most households. It enabl him to hear anything said above whisper anywhere in the house at to answer if he pleases.

WOODRUFF, OF NEW YORK OUR SCHOOLS. It must be painful to the colored citizens of this city to see their public school system in such a deplorable condition caused by the investigation of the charges against F. L. Cardozo. Even should the charges against the individual not be sustained, his usefulness in the public schools is at an end. Now let The Bee take an impartial view of the situation. Cardozo is charged with acts of insubordination and having written a letter to the Evening Times. Did Cardozo write the letter? Superintendent Chancellor stated, at the time the letter was presented to Mr. Cardozo, that he subscribed to its sentiments. Prof. Montgomery testified that the handwriting was that of Mr. Cardozo. Miss Stokes, who for a long time has had correspondence or seen correspondence of Mr. Cardozo, stated that it resembled his handwriting. Others have given similar testimony. On the other hand, Mr. Cardozo combats the above by an expert witness who doesn't say that it is not the handwriting of Mr. Cardozo, but the expert stated that it doesn't resemble his handwriting. Mr. Cardozo testified that he never wrote the letter and he is supported by persons who claim that he has always spoken well of Prof. Montgomery. If he stated to Dr. Chancellor that he subscribed to the sentiment of the anonymous letter, those who stated that Mr. Cardozo has always spoken well of Dr. Montgomery. This may all be true and yet Mr. Cardozo may have disliked Prof. Montgomery. Dr. John R. Francis is his family physician and Mr. Cardozo was appointed or recommended for the position by Mrs. Bettie Francis, the wife of Dr. Francis. Just why he was entitled to the place over others The Bee is unable to state, but, if as Dr. Francis stated, he was his family physician, perhaps it was by virtue of his being the family physician that he was appointed. Suppose Cardozo did say that he wanted Dr. Montgomery appointed, did this declaration have any effect on the Board of Education. Talking to outsiders would not influence the Board of Education, which had the authority and power to appoint. If Mr. Cardozo was a candidate for reappointment and he says that he was, he was no doubt aware that his place was secure under the law, unless he was charged with an offense. Why should he tell all of these people that he wanted Dr. Montgomery reappointed and tell Dr. Chancellor that he subscribed to the sentiments of the anonymous letter? The Board of Education will have no trouble reaching a conclusion. --- WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Bishop Grant and others of the A. M. E. Methodist Church called to see the President some time ago and asked him to appoint Rev. J. Oscar J. W. Scott, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, to a chapaincy in the United States Army. That he, Grant, represented ten millions of colored people in the United States. Just who authorized Bishop Grant to represent these ten millions of people The Bee is unable to state. The President informed the delegation, so it is stated, that he, Grant, must set him right with the colored people. Now if the President wants to be set right, he must not depend on Bishop Grant or any one else, because there is no power under the sun that can set the President right with the colored people, no matter what he may do now. Bishop Grant may represent a certain class of people in his church but he doesn't represent the intelligent voting elements in the North who generally do or who will think for themselves. If Bishop Grant went to the President on his own responsibility The Bee has nothing to say, but if he stated to the President that he represented ten millions of Negroes in this country, The Bee and many of its readers did not authorize him to ask any favors from the President in the way of offices. If Dr. Scott can be appointed without compromising the colored people, The Bee has no objections at all and neither have the colored people. There are colored men who, no matter what is done to them, will accept anything from the memy. The Bee desires to inform Mr. Roosevelt that Bishop Grant or no one else can change the sentiment of the colored people of this country against him. They are opposed to him and if every office in the United States were given to the colored Americans, that feeling of resentment in the hearts of the colored Americans will still remain. The loyal and patriotic colored men of this country do not want any office. Only apologists and trimmers would at this time ask, take or accept an office at the hands of the President, and if any one has stated to the President that he represents and speaks for ten millions of colored people in this country and they have told any individual to ask for an office of any kind from the president, he misrepresents this people and states an untruth. WHITE CHRISTIANS It is quite evident that the Christian religion among certain white people is all a sham. A report comes from the city of New York, to the effect that the colored parishioners of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church are exercised over an article written by Rev. Geo. R. Van De Water, rector of a white Episcopal Church in New York, advocating a separate church for colored Episcopalians. Just why colored people want to remain in a church with white people The Bee is unable to state, especially when these white people don't want them. There is too much hypocrisy among certain white Christians so-called. The colored people in New York as well as elsewhere in the United States are continually being confronted with this so-called white Christian religion. The Catholic Church is the only white Christian institution that is extending a welcome hand to white Christians. The Bee would like to ask these Christians if they expect a separate place in heaven? Do they believe that God regards them superior to all other colored denominations? Do they believe that they are the chosen people of God and that He has a separate place in heaven for the so-called white people? Who is Dr. Van De Water? Where did he come from? Is he the great immaculate or an inspired being? Does he come from a common stock or from a stock that is far superior to all other Christians? The colored Christians of America should have more respect for themselves and give these "Christian" hypocrites to understand that God respects all men alike. The color of a man's skin is no evidence that he is superior to his fellowman. Color is only skin deep. A man or woman without Christianity, without character or reputation is no more than any other person in the eyes of God. Some white people have an idea that the color of their skin, regardless of character and reputation makes them the superior of other people. HOWARD UNIVERSITY The new president of Howard University is doing all in his power to build up a model institution or an institution that will compare with Harvard or Yale. There first must be a foundation. What The Bee means by that is, there must be a good English department that will prepare students for the college and when they are ready for a profession they will then have a good English foundation. Many students begin at the top and attempt to wade through Latin and Greek and other dead languages before they have obtained a good English education. There are professional men this day who can't write three sentences correctly. The medical department of Howard University, the college and law departments are doing good work. An English department is mostly needed at this time and it is hoped that the President will see the necessity of having a good one. OHIO POLITICS. Mr. Roosevelt may turn down the friends of Senators Dick and Foraker in Ohio but the people will not turn down their delegates to the next National Republican Convention. Burton won't be in it the next convention and so far as secretary Taft is concerned if he should succeed in getting, the nomination The Bee would not give two cents for his chances for election. Mr. Roosevelt may attempt to name the next Republican nominee, but he will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Mr. Foraker has the confidence and respect of the American people and it is believed that he will be their choice for president. Vice-President Fairbanks is the people's second choice. It will not be Mr. Taft, although the President may want him. MR. GREEN DEFEATED. MR. GREEN DEFEATED. Representative Green of Massachusetts, who has been so much interested in our public schools, has no doubt been convinced by now that it doesn't pay to interfere so much with other people's business. Ben Tillman ought to be in Russia making speeches. "It would be a shame for him to go." The Cardozo case will be a past incident. He will be no more. He has reaped what he sowed. No one will weep at the retirement of Senator Spooner. He might have retired a great man had he not attempted to sustain Mr. Roosevelt in his Brownsville blunder. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR Prof. Kelly Miller express an opinion. Editor William M. Trotter deliver an anniversary address at Tuskegee. Lewis of Boston advise the colored voters to vote for President Roosevelt if he should be renominated. J. C. Dancy and H. P. Cheatham sing out of the same song book. Attorney T. C. Jones speak above a whisper when addressing a jury. Attorney Royal Hugh expound a Sabbath school lesson to children. Attorney A. W. Gray open Galbraith Church class meeting. Attorneys Bundy and Walker seated in the same church pew reading the Ten Commandments. A witness in the lower branch of the Police Court testify according to his own opinion. Judge Melowney read the riot act to Judge Kimball concerning the two cages in the Police Court. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE Professor Montgomery given a free hand in the colored schools. Prof. L. C. Moore at the head of a great institution. Dr. Phil B. Brooks build a great hospital in South Washington. James O. Holmes write his age. Editor Wilkins permit other people to express their opinions. Dr. Samuel M. Peirce himself again. Aldridge Lewis one of the truant agents. Gen. George H. Harries next National Committeeman. Two strong delegates represent the Republicans in the next National Convention. Thomas C. Noyes the next Congressman from Maryland. The South send a solid Foraker delegation to the next National Convention. Senator Foraker nominated on the first ballot. Secretary George B. Cortelyou reform the Treasury Department. MRS. M. C. TERRELL From the Professional World The reception given Mrs. Mary Church Terrell in Page Auditorium at Lincoln Institute last Friday evening was to say the least a very tame affair, and by no means becoming to an institution of learning such as Lincoln. Mrs. Terrell might have visited any ordinary village school in the State and a neatly arranged program of music and the like would have characterized the occasion. But at Lincoln Institute, where the best talent the State offards is claimed, scarcely a tune was heard. Especially is this noticeable where it is known that when individuals who are scarcely known outside of Jefferson City, much less the State of Missouri, visit Lincoln Institute, all the talent of the institution is put on dress parade, and yet when a member of our own race who has an international reputation she is entirely neglected in this respect. Lincoln Institute can ill afford to allow such to happen as will call forth public criticism, but when those in charge allow such to occur they should feel the public unkind to do so. TRUE MANHOOD Editor Chase, of The Bee, thoroughly understands what is necessary for true "manhood" when he says "what a race which does no producing creates nothing for the advancement of civilization but does all the consuming, cannot expect to receive all the rights accorde the race that has and controls everything BLACK LIST. Not satisfied with proving Christ was a black man, the ethnologists are now declaring Isaiah, of Biblical fame, was likewise a black man. Unless this thing stops somewhere the whole Biblical retinue will be placed on the black list. The Washington Bee flew into the St. Louis Congressman again with both sleeves rolled up. I wish we had a few more men like Brother Chase editors of Negro newspapers. . Continued from 1st page. to transport the people and their portable belongings beyond the seas and to provide them with teams, farming implements, clothing, etc., so that they would not be left helpless in a strange land. Such instruction in farming as would be necessary to fit them for the altered conditions could be disseminated through the channels of newspapers and such schools as they might from time to time establish. Moreover the difficulties of founding a government and of managing the affairs of State, together with the perplexities of politics, would be avoided by establishing the colonies in the domains of foreign nations, whose citizens they would become. There are enough of the more intelligent and independent Negroes of the country willing, if not anxious, to embark on such a trip that there would be no grave danger of failure through mental and moral degeneracy after the colonies were planted. American ideas and American enterprise would follow them and the many lessons they have learned while here woud survive to the remotest ages. I mean for this enterprise to be conducted on a business basis—carefully, calmly, and dispassionately. It would not need excessive advertisement. It would be the greatest aim of its leaders to avoid making it a political issue or an issue of any kind. Acting only on the willing, we would not waste valuable time and money in seeking its opponents. Time and success would do that for us. Nor is it a question of the transportation of a race as a race, but of the transportation of individuals. We have avoided the discussion of the economic, political, and social condition of the races. We have accepted the ideas of those who have thought upon that subject without question. Whatever the Negro's future here, and whither he is to become a menace to or a helpful factor in America's future progress, no man can quarrel with our project. Those who wish the Negro to leave can have no quarrel with the only feasible scheme for affecting his departure, those who desire that he remain can have no reason to complain of a plan to relieve and ameliorate his condition by reducing his numbers. How far and to what extent the emigration should be continued is a question that need not concern us—that would be settled in the future. "Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." If our project can do no good, at least it can do no harm. For these and for other reasons that I have no doubt your Excellency's large knowledge of conditions here and in India and Africa will doubtless suggest, I humbly petition you to signify your approval of my efforts. With your Excellency's approval I have no tear of ultimate success. Your approval could easily induce men of large views to follow with theirs. The question of funds and of labor will be settled in due course. All I seek now is moral support, financial support will inevitably follow. In this wealthy and generous nation no man who can convince his fellow-citizens of the feasibility of any plan for the betterment of the whole people or any part thereof will go lacking in funds. Because I have faith in slow but study and consistent effort, I have dedicated myself to this cause, and I humbly ask your Excellency to give some expression of your apporval thereof. I am your most humble and obedient servant, Wesley William Wardwick Harvey, 409 New Jersey avenue northwest, Washington, D. C. MARLIN THE HOT SPRINGS OF TEXAS! Marlin is wide-awake and progressivity of about five thousand inhabitants. It is situated on the Waco Branch of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad, and is the Fort Worth Division of the International and Great Northern Railroad, giving Marlin the benefit of trains making connections with all prin- It is noted for its artesian well, which is 3.355 feet deep, and has a daily flow of 150,000 gallons of water, and is said to cure all diseases of the skin and blood. It has grocery stores, tailor shops and hotels, all conducted by colored people. The Afro-American News Company is situated in a beautiful grove, handling only colored literature, selling all kinds of toilet articles. Marlin seems to be the coming city of Texas. We would advise many of our graduates to settle in a place like this and grow with the city. NOT WANTED IN WHITE CHURCH NEW YORK RECTOR WOULD HAVE NEGROES FLOCK BY THEMSELVES New York, March 4.—The colored parishioners of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Fifth avenue and 127th street are much exercised over an article entitled "The Colored People," written by Rev. Dr. George R. Van De Water, rector of this wealthy church, which appears in the February issue of the St. Andrew's Chronicle, the parish monthly. In that article Dr. Van De Witter said: "Aside altogether from their right in any place of public worship, it is best that they should have their own churches, their own ministers, and in time, may-be, their own bishops. It is not best that white and black people should be in Sunday school or in church on a plan of equality or privilege. "We are glad to hear that Rev. Dr. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's Church, in 28th street, is about to start a mission church in this vicinity, and has purchased a site for it somewhere in 137th street near Seventh avenue. In time it will become St. Philip's. The sooner the better. We would like to see a great big church, with full equipment for parish work, solely for the colored people in this community and neighborhood. "St. Andrew's will give its consent to such a movement, not because it is glad to get rid of the colored people, but because it is best for the colored people and the best thing for the whole church that they should worship together." The colored parishioners object especially to the "plane of equality" reference. They declare that they are not treated with proper courtesy by the ushers and that when they go to the church they are made to take back seats. "I certainly wrote that article," said Dr. Van De Water when see last night, "and I stand by every word of it. I repeat that the sooner the colored people get out of St. Andrew's the better it will be for both whites and blacks. If President Roosevelt wants to eat with a colored man he can do so. I won't, and I am just as much entitled to my opinion on the subject as he is. "I do not want the colored people in my church, neither do my parishioners, for they have been a source of much trouble. In the first place we have gentlemen ushers, wardens, and vestrymen, and they, in a manner, object to escorting colored people up and down the aisles. "I am as strong in this question of separation as a Southerner, and I want to be the rector of either a colored congregation or a white congregation—not a mixed one. That never was and never will be." ITEMS ON THE WING A large number of our people are migrating from Louisiana to Oklahoma Territory. The farmers are suffering by the act. It is their own fault, however. Last Saturday Senator Dick and 25 crossed the desert under the domain of the Crescent and Almas Temple, D.C. 700 Sharifs attended the Traditional Banquet. Hot sands predominated. Archbishop Riordan of the Roman Catholic Church criticises Roosevelt and claims that he made a serious mistake in the Japanese matter. The colored waiters and bellmen of the District of Columbia are up in arms relative to the saying of a certain head waiter before the House District Committee relative to the tipping business. Colored waiters only get from $20 per month, bellmen about the time. What are they going to support their families on if not with the aid of tips? White waiters are the ones that the bill is intended for, for they not get big wages, but big tips. We are going from what we know to be a fact. The probabilities that Gen. D. D. Grant, U. S. A., will be court-martial for talking about the action of the President at the Washington Birthday Quet at Philadelphia. Members of the G. A. R. are much interested in the recent dismissals of the old soldiers, widows, etc., from the Min Repair Shop. They expect to lay the matter before the President. There are 284,000 Indians in the United States, out of which 159,000 wear citizens' clothes, 70,000 speak English and 28,000 families live in houses like white brother. The first Post of the G. A. R. was formed at Decatur, Illinois, Apr. 6, 1866. Miss Georgia Edwards, of Chattanooga, Tenn., has filed a complaint to the Interstate Commerce Commission, relating to undue discrimination against the colored race.

Davis has been invited and will deliver a special address. Among the other speakers will be Rev. Clair, pastor of Ebenezer Church, and others. SECOND BAPTIST. Mr. J. Milton Turner declared that up to the present time the race had not produced a man to take the place of Douglass Langston and Bruce. Mr. Thomas H. R. Clark, of the Register's Office, in reply combatted that idea; that the race had produced two men who were doing more than any man of the day in the uplift of the race—Professor Dubois, and Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian. Mr. George C. Smith said that he had known Mr. Turner for forty years, and that he had done great good for the Negroes in the West. He paid a high compliment to the speaker. THE CRISPUS ATTUCKS. This popular organization, under the presidency of Mr. Aldridge J. Lewis, will give a smoker at its headquarters Monday evening, April 1. This will be the anniversary celebration of the Crispus Attucks, for whom the association is named. The Crispus Attucks under Mr. Lewis has made great progress, and his friends state that the largest increase in membership will take place under his administration. The smoker is looked forward to be one of the most successful that has even been given by the association. Mr. Lewis is a popular president and is liked by all who know him. Mr. J. S, Nuby, of Philadelphia, Pa. was in the city last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Overton. He was given a royal time by these two well-known citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Overton always make it pleasant for their friends. MADAME DAVIS One of the most gifted women in this country is Madame Davis, whose ad- vertisement appears : paper.

Jones Club, connected with the Trinity Baptist Church, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Rose, on Twenty-first street, Monday evening, and turned in over one hundred and fifty dollars toward the new church. WENDELL PHILLIPS GARRISON. SON OF NOTED ABOLITIONIST Mr. Wendell Phillips Garrison, son of the late William Lloyd and Helen Benson Garrison, died at his home in South Orange, N. J., last night. He had been ill for several weeks. Mr. Garrison was born in Cambridge, June 4, 1840. He was graduated from Harvard at the age of seventeen, and after two years of private teaching and tutoring, entered journalism. His first employment was in January, 1864, with the New York Independent. In July, 1865, he became associated with Edwirt Lawrence Godwin in founding the Nation. Mr. Garrison worked in connection with the literary side of the new weekly, and early assumed the laboring oar in its general management. It fell to his lot to draw together a staff of reviewers and contributors which speedily comprised the leading men of letters and science in this country and in Europe. For the first sixteen years the Nation was an independent property. In 1881 it was combined with the New York Evening Post. Under the new management, Mr. Garrison became literary editor of the Evening Post and editor-in-chief of the Nation. This position he held until his retirement on June 28, 1906, because of the rapid failure of his health. Mr. Garrison was married in 1865 to Lucy McKim, who died soon after., In 1891 he married Annie McKim Dennis. Two children survive him, Philip McKim of Orange, and Catherine McKim now Mrs. Charles Norton of Chicago; also two brothers, William Lloyd Garrison and Francis J. Garrison, of this city, and a sister, Fanny, now Mrs. Henry Villard, of New York. Among Mr. Garrison's literary productions are,"The History of the Benson Family of Newport," "The Mothers Register," a translation from the French "What Mr. Darwin Saw in His Trip Around the World," "Bedside Poetry," "In Memoriam to His Wife," "Parables for School and Home," "Sonnets and Lyrics of the Ever-Womanly," and "The New Gulliver." He was also joint author with Francis J. Garrison of a life of their father, published in 1885. A SPUR TO GENEROSITY. Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court recently celebrated the golden anniversary of his wedding, and the event brought to light some stories of the stalwart jurist. One relates how the Justice was riding toward Washington on a sleeping car from-Louisville. Before retiring he went to the smoking compartment to get a drink of water. There were half a dozen men in the place, and a flask had been passed around and the glass used for the liquor. Justice Harlan took up the glass, smelled it, and turned on the smokers: "Who," he roared, in his deep bass voice, "has had the temerity to drink whiskey out of this glass?" "I did," piped up the owner of the flask, somewhat awed by the great bulk of the Justice. "Then, sir," said the Justice sternly, "where are you hiding, the bottle?"

W. P. S.—DRUGS ABSOLUTELY PURE. Swiss Communes Make Money Shipping Glaciers. Washington.-Ice quarrying is a new industry that has sprung up in Switzerland, according to a report received here by the consular bureau. While blasting Alpine glaciers threatens to destroy some of the magnificence of the scenery, Swiss communes are making money granting concessions for quarrying these great masses of ice for distribution in large cities of the continent. According to the information received here, large sums have been expended constructing ice slides, or V-shaped troughs, in which blocks of ice, often of large size, blasted out of the glacier are transported to the vicinity of the stations for conveyance, in carefully refrigerated cars to Lyon, and other large cities remote from the Alps. The method of blasting with black powder so as to avoid the discoloration and soiling of the ice, and engineering ability displayed in erecting slides and in providing sufficient friction by means of curves to avoid excessive speed in the downward journey of the ice blocks, are spoken of as examples of considerable ingenuity and skill. Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure and transparent, and which has many qualities greatly appreciated by consumers, commands a higher value than that of the usual kind obtained from the surface of frozen ponds or lakes. A singular feature in connection with the preparation of the ice for the market is that it has been found necessary to store it several days in special warehouses, formed of a double thickness of boarding with a stratum of sawdust interposed, in order to remove a coating of frosted or nontransparent ice which tends to form on the surface of each block as it leaves the glacier. MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES. Planted by Spanlards in New Mexico. They Have Borne Fruit 300 Years. El Paso, Tex.—The oldest apple orchard in America if not in the world is in the center of the ancient town of Manzano, 18 miles southwest of Estancia, Torrance county, New Mexico. Many of the trees are more than six feet in circumference, but all are still fruitful and vigorous although neglected for generations. Little is known of the history of this orchard, but the oldest inhabitants of the valley of the Rio Grande remember the orchard from childhood and claim that the trees have not changed in appearance since then. Venerable Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of visiting the orchard as far back as they can remember and finding apples on the ground in all stages of decomposition at least two feet deep. The Estancia valley has been peopleled for ages, probably by the kinsmen of the natives found by the Spanish explorers at Gran Quilvira, Abo and other ancient cities. - Probably in the early days of the Spanish occupation some Franciscan monk found his way to Manzano and there planted the seeds that have developed into these venerable trees. They are no doubt fully 300 years old. Close by the orchard is a little lake fed by a large spring. A short distance away is a grove of pines and cedars, making an ideal place for picnic and camping parties. MUST WED, ELSE NO FORTUNE. Bachelor Uncle Makes Short Stipulation for His Nephew. Findlay, O.—According to John B. Lowery, of Toledo, he will soon he hopes, set out for Australia to take possession of $20,000,000 left to him by an uncle. Duncan Cameron, the uncle, was a resident of that country and accumulated his money in mines, bank stocks and ships. He died at the age of 90 years. He was a member of parliament and a man of influence, according to the story. He never took a wife and by the terms of the will $1,000,000 is to be divided among the servants. One of the provisions of the will is that Lowery is to marry before he receives the legacy, and for that reason he will not consent to have his picture published, fearing an avalanche of letters from many irresponsible women. He will marry as soon as he finds a woman to his liking and then will go to Australia to claim the fortune. He says his wife must be able to maintain the dignity his vast wealth will bring. Lowery was left an orphan at the age of 11 years and has been making his own way since that time. For years he has operated in the Michigan mining country and owns several mines. Cadets Are Expert Fencers West Point, N. Y.—In the first fencing tourney of the season the cadets defeated Columbia, winning seven of the nine bouts fenced. In the first round Large and Ayers tied, and after they fenced an extra period the judges were still unable to decide. After the other bouts had been fenced Large won this bout in the third period. Dwyer won Columbia's other bout from Halabird in an extra period to decide a tie. Dickinson showed up in his old-time form and handily won all his bouts. The army team was composed of Cadets Halabird, Dickinson and Ayers. Columbia was represented by Berne, Large and Dwyer. COURT HOUSE LUNCH ROOM. Ex-Justice of the Peace E. M. Hewlett and Attorney Louis G. Gregory entered the lunchroom in the-City Hall Wednesday afternoon and asked to be served. This particular room is set apart for members of the bar only, but it is frequented by white persons who are not members of the bar, but whenever a colored member of the bar enters this particular dining room objections are made. On Tuesday Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Gregory, both members of the bar, entered, and seated themselves and called to be served. The waiter informed them that they could not be served. Mr. Hewlett was then visited by the proprietress of the lunch room, and she asked him his name. He informed her, and was about to hand his card, when she said, "O! I don't want it; I thought it was you." Mr. Hewlett demanded to be served, but the proprietress was obdurate and said that she would not. She was informed that he would report her to the marshal, who would remove her from the building, as he did the former proprietor of the dining room for a similar offense. She said that she didn't care. Judge Hewlett left, and complained to the Marshal, who directed him to put his complaint in writing, which he did immediately and carried it to the Marshal himself. This room is under the control of the United States Marshall, and permission is given to permit the occupant the privilege to conduct a lunch room for the accommodation of the public and the officers of the court. The public, prior to the present occupant using it, paranized this lunch room. The employees of the Recorder's Office also used this particular room. To prevent the outside public from using this dining room notice is placed over the door which reads as follows "For members of the bar." While this is an invitation to the members of the bar, it seems that it applies to the white members of the bar only, because colored members of the bar, the colored public, and all colored employees in and around the Court House and City Hall occupy the lunch counter, where they sit upon high chairs like animals at a trough. A decision from the Marshal is looked for with much anxiety. At Reims, France, violent anti-Masonic riots occurred last week. Many hurt.

Ford's Hair Pomade was formerly known as the only sale preparation known to us that makes kinky or curly hair straight as shown above. It contains the most stubborn, kinky or curly hair, and is easily pliable and easy to comb. These results may be obtained from one treatment; 3 to 4 times the use of Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") removes and prevents dandruff from falling out or breaking. It stops the hair from falling out or breaking, makes it grow and, by nourishing the roots, gives it new life and vigor. Being elegantly designed and made, it is especially useful for ladies, gentlemen and children. Ford's Hair Pomade ("OZONIZED OX MARROW") was registered in the United States Patent Office, in 1874. In all that long time it has been returned from the hundreds of thousands we have sold. Ford's Hair POMADE remains great and effective, no matter how long you wear it. It makes the hair STRAIGHT, SOFT and PLiABLE. Beverage of imitations. Remember that Ford's Hair Pomade is put up only in 50 ct. size, and is made only in Chicago and by us.

It is not so long ago, within the memory of many officials of the Penn- sylyania railroad, that James McCrea, ‘who has just succeedod to the mantle of A, J. Cassatt, was only plain “Jim” McCrea, and figured on the salary List of the road as a rodman. He was a good rodman, a hard warker. He has been the same in every other position he bas held in the 41 years he has served the road. The character of result achieved by the tall, muscular, silent, gruff-spoken “Jim" made bim a marked min be- fore he had been a rodman for two years. Then came promotions, and four presidents of the road took a pleasure in aiding his ambitions. He went up, up, up through ‘the stages of engineer, superintendent of various divisions. general manager of various roads, fourth vice president, third vice president, second vice president and ‘first vice president. His election to the headship of the entire concern was no surprise, for it hdd been khown for a long time that he was President Cassatt’s pref- erence, and for a couple of years prior to his death Mr. Cassatt had been grooming McCrea for the place. There is no particular romance In the life story of this man, big men- tally and physically. His success has not proceeded from strokes of daring or from sudden inspirations. Hard, relentless work has been the only sys- tem he knew. Even those Pittsburg friends who have known him as a nelghbor fér many years, and who love to speak of him as a man with a heart as big as his frame, who loves his fellow man as himself, who is everybody's friend and who laeks the luxury of a single enemy, never have been quite able to folly grasp his character. ,Though he 4s one of the biggest of many big men who have lately come out of the Smoky City, he {s little known to the city at large. ‘His life divided itself between work andhishome.

This was the riddle about McCrea. He shunned social functions, yet when drawn into them he shone as a star of first maguitude. His fine physique, quick wit and abounding good fellow- ship made him !mmensely popular, and had he wished Mr. McCrea could have attained almost any political or social distinction. But McCrea knew only one love—the Pennaylvania railroad, and found more pleasure in serving It than In other forms of activity or diversion, - That is the sole reason why a few days ago directors elected him to the place made vacant by the death of Mr. Cassatt. Mr. McCrea belonged to clubs in Pittsburg—the Duquesne, Pittsburg club, Country club and Pittsburg Golf club. In New York he is a member of the Uilon League; {n Chicago of the Chicago club, and in the Quaker City, where now he takes his rest- dence, he is a member of the conserva- tive and aristocratic old organization, the Philadelphia club. As a sportsman the new president knows only two hobbles—horses and goif. He owns half a dozen thorough- breds, and thinks nothing too good for them.

GIRL A MUSICAL GENIUS. Family Fiddled into Prosperity as Re- - ault of Her Ability. Now York.—A titled @tallan family, with more pride In its pedigree than gold in its purse, has been fiddled into America by the musical genius of the youngest daughter, and will arrive In New York soon. The girl who has been able to accomplish this Is just past her eighteenth birthday, She is the violinist in the orchestra in a restaurant here and her remarkable genius has attracted such attention that she Will appear In a musical re cital In Carnegie hall. La Marchesina Pallavacini {s one of the five daughters of Marchese Gus- tavo Pallavacinl, of Italy, for'35 years director in the telegraph service, and now, at 72, retired on a pension of $40 a month, on which be ia unable to support his large family in the style and comfort to which he believes they are entitled. Elissena, the daughter who has ; sy a Me , \AeF 7 ir f ‘A(t Italy.) 7 eamed enough with her violin to bring them to this coutnry and sup port them comfortably, inherits the title of Marchesina, with ber other sisters, and when she was little more than elght years old she declared‘ her intention of studying music. Through hor father's influence, she was able }to get instruction from Prof. Battl, }of Bologna. He recognized the child's ability, and took more than usual pains to advance her. By the time she had reached her tenth year her performances on the violin attracted the attention of the musical world in her native city. _ At the age of 11 the little Mar. chesina made her first appearance in @ concert before the royal family, The director was Saverfo Nurrissino, general director of the Conservatory of Music and musician In chief to the king and queen. He recognized the girls’ talents and gave her a promt ment part in the concert. Other art. ists had been applauded generously, but when the dark-eyed daughter of the old Marchese began to sweep the bow over the strings the audience was amazed. | The phrasing and the technique of the child were beautiful and dainty, Sta after the first number Queen Margherita, who was an Interested Mstener, sent for the director and told him to send the girl to the royal box. She obeyed shyly, not knowing wheth. er she was to recelve praise or cen: sure. The queen received her kindly, and talked with her for an hour. The next day messenger brought to the Pallavacin! house a beautiful violin from Queen Margherita, and with it a note directing the little girl to go at once to the conservatory and com- plete her musical education. The payment for the fultion was made by her rofal patron. At the age of 15 La Marchesina was one of the musical wonders of the institution. She returned to her old tutor, and then took part in con. certs in Rome and Milan, but the monetary returns were small, and two years ago she and her ister, Clotilde, emigrated to America, They gave one concert in’ Mendelssohn hall, the alster playing the plano accom. paniment, but as nelther girl pos sessed any business sense their abil: ity was not brought prominently to the front until La Marchesina was heard here by a cirtic In the restau. rant » ‘S Hawley Knew How.

WAS FROZEN TO LAMP POST. WILLS ESTATE 10 Pigs Fugitive's Hands Pried Loose by a Po- " liceman at Street Corner. HOW ROBERT M'DONALD GOT New York.—Pollceman Schiffer in EVEN WITH HIS RELATIVES. Third avenue at eight o'clock in the evening noticed a man clinging to a Se lamp post at the northeast corner of Sum of $8,000 Bequeathed to Palr of ) Thirty-fourth street. At ten o'clock Porkers to Spite Distant Kin— | he saw that ‘the fellow was in the Provision Made for Their IIl- same position and walked up to where ness:and for VYouna:Gnes: he was. He‘found that the man was Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton.—Just to get even with his relatives, who, he declared, had fawned on him for years and derided him behind his back while waiting for him to die that they might inherit his Iife savings, Robert MacDonald bequeathed everything he owned to his two pigs. The estate amounts to about $8,000 and every cent Is to go to the porkers and their keepers. MacDonald had no near kin, but a dozen distant relatives kept close track of him and, he declared shortly before his death, that thelronly inter- est was in his money. This bellef soured him against the cousins, but they were not aware of the fact and when the old man passed away a fortnight ago they hastened to hear the will read. They were greatly as- ‘tonished and intensely indignant when they learned fo the disposition of the property. | While MacDonald had never been known to keep swine he no sooner earned’ from his doctor that he must prepare to die than he sent to a nelgh- ‘boring farmer and bought two young pigs, a maje and a female. These he caused to be placed and fed in a pen at the rear of the house. He then ‘sent for his solicitor and dictated his will, saying that if be gave his for- ‘tune of $8,000 to his cousins It “would be in the hands of pigs who dented their identities" and that he “might as = give it to porkers. which made no pretenses.” By the terms of this unique docu- ment the house is to be sold at auction. The funds accruing trom the sale aré then to be banked and the in- terest, together with the Income from all other funds possessed by Mr. Mac- ‘Donald at the time of his death, ts to | be used: to feed and care for the two pigs. The attendant {s to provide a ‘pen at his own expense and receive ‘for rental and care the sum of two ‘dollars per week, exclusive of the ‘amount pald for executor, for which service he ts to receive the regular legal fee. | It ds stipulated that when the pigs shall become hogs and multiply their young shall be cared for, as shall their offspring, the fees to the attendant be- Ing raised 50 cents:per week for every six plgs he raises. For every pig that dies he Is to forfelt ten cents a week for ten weeks, unless death Is due to hog cholera, when the forfeit is to be waived. In event of illness among the hogs the best veterinary in the prov- ‘Ince {s to be engaged. As the Interest on $8,000 at four per cent. amounts to but $320 per annum, and as the attendant’s fees and feed- Ing will exhaust thls amount the first year, the will provides that, drafts may be made on the principal immeai- ately after the first ter of pigs js | born. Therafter the principal shalt ‘be used as needed until no cash re- /mains In the bank. At this time the hogs and pigs are to be sold and the money devoted to such local charittes as the executor may elect. In case an epldemic takes off the hogs within a given time all that re- mains of the fund is to be given to three chuches to be used in caring | for cemeteries. Thus, it fs for the in- terest of the executor to see that his charges live as long as possible, Ex- perts In farming are now busy trying to figure out how long the $8,000 will last. There are as nlany answers as there are farmers. ; WAS FROZEN TO LAMP POST. Fugitive's Hands Pried Loose by a Po liceman at Street Corner. New York.—Policeman Schiffer in Third avenue at eight o'clock in the evening noticed a man clinging to a lamp post at the northeast corner of Thirty-fourth street. At ten o'clock he saw that ‘the fellow was in the same position and walked up to where he was. He‘found that the man was unconscious, with the fingers of both hands frozen tightly to the iron post. The policeman pried the fingers loose and got assistance to carry the man to the East Thirty-fifth street police station. There it was discov- ered that the man’s arms and his legs from the knees down were frozen. While first ald was being given an am- bulance from Bellevue hospital was summoned. Surgeon Cudderback saw at once that the man was in a critical condition. He took him to the hos- ital. At the station the sufferer regained consciousness long enough ‘to say that his name was John Lenahan, that he was 35 years old and lived on First avenue. Sergeant McAdam then rec- ognized him as a man for whom he bad a warrant of arrest. Lenahan ‘was recently released on $500 bail for the theft of an overcoat he pawned for $2. He falled to appear in court yesterday to answer the charge and the warrant was therefore {ssued. Lenaban was thinly clothed. It is thought he placed bis hands on the {ron post while Intoxicated and re- mained in that position until he be- came unconscious. _ X-RAY USED AS DETECTIVE. Smugglers Exposed In French Custom Houses to Their Consternation, Minneapolis, Minn.—The French government has employed the Roent- gen ray in a pecullar and certainly novel way. It Is subjecting persons who pass through its custom houses to the Xray in order to determine whether they are smuggling articles upon which they should pay duty. In one trial mentioned 167 persons were examined in 45 minutes and on them were found Jewels and merchandise hidden for the expesiment. A small Jeweled locket was revealed under a young man's tongue. Several watch chains were found in the colls of a /woman’s halr. Card cases spread out flat under the feet in the shoes were revealet Articles wrapped in many thicknesses of pdper and woolen fab- ties were discovered, and the account ot this trial says these articles instead of being successfully hidden might as well In nearly every case have shout- ed out their existence and declared ‘themselves on a manifest. _ What a fine thing It would be if the Roentgen ray could be successfully applied to proposed legislation and .to legislators if it could be made to re- veal the presence of’the fittle Joker in the bill and the consideration lodged in the pocket of the legislator to In- duce him to pursue a certain course of action! The X-ray of publicity {s all right when properly applied, but it has not yet been developed, to as high degree of efficiency as the inter- esting scientific principle of the Roentgen ray. Glass In Fish's Stomach, Palm Beach, Fla—While fishing on the Ocean pler a negro pulled In a good-sized kingfish. On cleaning {t he felt something hard in the stomach, and pulled out a pair of rimless glasses attached to a delicate gold chain, evidently intended tor a wom- an’s wear. The guasses were not broken. Emerson D. Prescott of Washington, a patron. of the Royal Poinciana hotel, heard of the dis- covery and bought the glasses from the fisherman. 1 QUEEN'SCOAT OF ARMS ROYAL GRANT RECENTLY MADE BY KING EDWARD. Insignia Not Hereditary as Generally Supposed—Ruler of England is Supreme on Matters of Armortat Ensigns. London.—To those who look with scorn upon a modern grant of arms, no less than to those who are unaware that the royal arms are not hereditary, and that each member of the royal family 1s supposed to receive a war- rant personal to himself or herself, if will’ come as a startling shock to learn that her majesty, Queen Alex- andra, has recently received a grant of arms. To be more exactly precise, the king has issued a warrant “to give and assign unto our dearly . beloved consort,” whom his majesty styles “A Lady of Our Most Noble Order*of the Garter” . . . “Arms, Crown and Supporters.” The law which governs the royal arms in this couritry bears little.{f any relation to the law controling the armorial ensigns of subjects, and, though more rizid in its rules, it never- theless closely follows upon the old customs and rules conformed to by the Bourbons when France was roy- alist. ‘The cardinal rules lying at the base of royal heraldry are first that the king can do anything in such matters by merely declaring his pleasure by means of a formal royal warrant, and second, that the. royal arms as such are not personal and are not heredi- tary, but are the emblems of the undy- ing soverelgnty of the realm. The sovereign can at sny moment declare by warrant what the royal arms shall be for the future, and ‘hough this {s usually done imme- diately upon ascending thé throne, and a subsequent change but seldom oc- curs, such changes do happen. There were no less than three changes {n the reigns pf George III., George IV. and William 1V. Each contented him- self with the final version of King George III., but a change was made by Queen Victoria. The tenet that the royal arms be long only and exclusively to the sov. ereign dates back to the refgn of Ed: ward L, {f not beyond. All the other members of the royal family bear the royal arms “différenced” by marks of distinction. How this differencing | 3 | fos SLE sik 7 oA en PES OLE 3 PE ees ue 4 AP SAC ae ae ag Fe a8 ae @ Bd : PES eat | Nas ae Reseed tae nei eles a oe Coat of Arms of Queen Alexandra: was effected In early times {Is not known, though what was the particu- lar difference employed In each case there are plenty of records to show. In modern times, at any rate since the Stuart dynasty, it has been done by means of royal warrants under the sign manual and privy seal of the sov- ereign. Anclently the difference marks were two—elther a “bordure” or a “label.” For a long time past the label has been exclusively used. The label, which {s now always white, ts a straight bar across the top of the shield, from which hang three (or sometimes five) polnts- These points are perfectly plain for the heir appar- ent, but for all other members of the royal family they are charged with different objects, of which a multitu- dinous variety have been called into use. These labels are placed upon the shield and upon each of the support- ers, and in the case of princes upon ‘the crest also; princesses, of course, have no crest. e Not only are such warrants {issued for those who by blood descent are members of our royal family, but sometimes also for those who only en- ter the royal family by alliance. Such & warrant was {ssued by Queen Vic- torla for the late prince consort, and the royal arms of this country difter- enced by a label quartered with the arms of Satony were what was as- signed to him In the warrant. All of his descendants except the king retain the arms of Saxony upon their shield, but bear the coat upon an Inescutch- eon. As above stated, King Edward VII. bas now Issued a warrant for Queen Alexandra, and this warrant re- cites that her majesty “shall use and bear within the Garter our royal arms impaling the royal arms of Denmark surmounted by our crown.” The sup- porters assigned to the queen in the warrant are “Dexter, a Hon guardant or, crowned proper,” and “Sinister, a savage wreathed about the temples and loins with oak, and supporting fn the exterior hand a club all proper.” This latter is one of the Danish sup- porters. The king also permits the queen to use his crown. This crown, by the way, fs a fictlon. It has no real existence, and the warrant will not affect the crown her majesty wears, which is a small one, entirely of dia- monds. The crown the queen wore at the coronation was of another pat- tern. ‘GIRL MAY PLAN WARSHIP, ~ Boston Mald Graduates with Honor 4 Naval Architect.

SIGN OF THE BIG BOOT WHERE WOMEN RULE CONSERVATIVE AND EXCLUSIVE WELSH VILLAGE. Town of Langwm Remarkable for Its Self-Effacing Male Population— Girls Kept Within Bounds Until Recently. London.—The county of Pembroke in Wales is perhaps able to find as much food for the antiquary as any two others in Great Britain. It is a land of ruined palaces and castles, ancient churches and still more ancient history. Its towns of any size are few and far between and for this reason its nooks and corners are but little visited by the quickly passing tourist, while the townspeople themselves seem neither to know much nor care about the hundred and one interests in the hamlets and villages about them. A marked case in point is the little village of Langwm. Little Langwm is now practically the only self-contained community in the county able to point to a direct descent from their lusty ancestors across the North sea. So conservative and exclusive are this little village's traditions that it was not till quite recently that its daughters were allowed to go forth into what must have been to them a very foreign domestic service, or marry beyond its bounds, while their tongue to this day is far less intelligible to their neighbors than it must have been in late Norman days when the Flemish language only differed in the dialect from that in fairly general use in England But it is in their domestic affair that the dwellers in Langwm differ widely from their neighbors. Herewoman rules the roost in a fashion that would commend itself to many of her English sisters. A recent writer had it that none but the gentler sex sat in the village council and that the misdemeanors of husbands were swiftly dealt with by a selected bevy of Langwm beauty in painful but thorough fashion. This imputation was much resented at the time and the libeller would no doubt have been as carefully "attended to" had he put in an appearance in the village. There is no question, however, that Langwm womanhood has an equal word in the conduct of this temperate and well-governed little colony, while its men folk are of the self-effacing order, calking and mending in the creek and rarely found upon the roads outside the village. One has only to meet a group of its sturdy womenfolk hawking fish upon the rough roads of Haverfordwest, Tenby and Pembroke clad in short red and blue homespun skirts, thick worsited stockings and mighty hobnalled boots, with pea jacket and soft felt hat as a picturesque finish, to grasp the fact that mere man would have but a poor show in wordy or physical argument with one of them. Woman rules here as much upon the water as upon land. Langwm's little fleet of boats is almost invariably manned—one should almost say womanned—by two women and a man, with one of the former at the tiller. The intricate windings and currents of the upper Haven, or a dirty day beyond it, are taken with equal skill and philosophy by these sturdy Amazon. of satisfaction a rare thing in most $3.00 shoes.

New Yorker Obtains Needed Limb Through Novel Means. Glens Falls, N. Y.—If there is more than one way to skin a cat, there is certainly more than one in which to acquire a cork leg. The usual way is to earn money and buy it. The way adopted by Julius Thorne, who lives on the outskirts of the town, is to let a cow raise herself and then raffle her off for a leg. Thorne was hit by a railroad train about a year ago, and when the doctors cut off his left leg, a disease of the bone set in. The injured man was taken home where, while he lay on his back waiting for the bone to heal, he cast about for some means whereby he could procure a cork leg. This was absolutely necessary that he might work when well. Being supplied with little in the way of the world's goods, Thorne was forced to use his ingenuity. From a neighbor he bought for a couple of dollars a sickly calf less than a month old. This he raised on skimmed milk provided by another neighbor who made his own butter, and in time the calf got strong enough to be turned out to pasture. Grazing ground cost little and while the calf was growing and fattening Thorne made baskets that he might have enough cash to winter the animal. By fall he had earned enough to more than do this and a week ago he started a raffle. All his friends took tickets and when the drawing takes place Thorne will celebrate by wearing his new cork leg. London Eats 2,000,000 Tons. The total amount of foodstuffs that reach London yearly, according to the secretary of the public health commission, is between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 tons. Three-fifths of the whole quantity is consumed by Londoners. The shipments include 1,000,000 tons of meat, fish, milk, butter, eggs, lard, etc., 500,000 tons of fruit and vegetables, including sugar and preserved fruits, and 1,400,000 tons of grain and flour. Admires Pantry Girl and Introduces Son, Who Marries Her. Leadington, Ky.—A romance with unusual features has culminated in the widding of Miss Cynthia Simpson, a pretty 19-year-old pantry girl at the St. George hotel at Winchester, to Roscoe Catchings, a rich young man of Washington, D. C. The girl caught the eye of Roscoe Catchings, Sr., who is proprietor of Catchings' hotel at London, Ky., and who makes his home there a part of each year, being interested in timber lands in Laural county. He talked to the girl and told her of his son, who, he said, was about her age. He told her he was taken with her beauty and gentle ways and asked her if he might introduce her to his son. She consented and the father wrote to the boy in Washington that he would like him to come to Kentucky for the holidays. The young man came. Without telling him of his intentions the father took him to Winchester and stopped at the St. George hotel. There he made it convenient to have the boy meet Cynthia, the pantry girl. He soon had the boy in love with the girl and then told him if he would marry her he would settle $10,000 on them and let them live at his hotel at London. The boy readily consented. --- NEW YORK-AND WASHINGTON CANDY KITCHEN, 1614 14th street, N. W. All kinds of delicious ice cream delivered free.

Lois Lewis of Girard College Is Oldest Physical Instructor. Philladelphia.—Girard college boasts of probably the oldest physical instructor in the United States. His name is Lois Lewis and this is his seventy-eighth winter. For 33 years he has been teaching and directing the boys of Girard college in their gymnastic work, and so understandingly does he deal with them that they consider their hours spent daily under his instruction not hours of work, but hours of positive pleasure. One and all they leave the college with a great affection for the old professor. Professor Lewis is the son of an old soldier. Although German, his father fought vavantly under Napoleon in the memorable battle of Waterloo. Lois Lewis was born in Frankforton-Main, Germany. When a mere boy he was noted for his proficiency in every branch of gymnastics and made quite a record as an athlete. Following in the footsteps of his father, Lois, too, became a soldier. The future began to look very rosy for young Lewis when, in the year 1848, a revolution put the fatherland in a turmoil. Lewis got mixed up in this revolution and, unfortunately for himself, was on the wrong side. He was forced to flee from the country. Lewis arrived in Philadelphia 'in 1850. In a little hall on Poplar street, between Second and Third streets, he helped to form an organization which eventually developed into the Philadelphia Turngemeinde, which now flourishes in its home at 429 North Sixth street. From 1859 to 1887 he conducted a gymnasium at Ninth and Arch streets. Thirty-three years ago Lewis was asked to become the physical instructor at Glard college. He accepted the offer, and his name was dignified by the little professor. Professor Lewis' long term of service at the college has been one continual success. The weight of his 78 years apparently hampers him not in the least in his work. VALUE OF EUCALYPTUS OIL. Neither Poisonous Nor Irritating, May Be Applied to Most Delicate Tissue. Washington.—The department of agriculture has issued a bulletin in which it says that eucalyptus oil is so useful and popular information concerning it is so meager that a few words concerning it will not be out of place. This oil has been used for about 40 years, but only during the past ten years has it been employed in medicine very extensively. Its use is now constantly increasing as its properties and medicinal value become better known. The fact that it is non-polsonous and non-irritating makes it especially safe and valuable. As much of it as a fourth of an ounce has been taken internally without injury and it may be freely applied to the most delicate tissue. Notwithstanding the fact that it is neither dangerously polsonous nor irritating to the human system, it is a very effective antiseptic and disinfectant and has come to be used quite extensively for dressing wounds, ulcers and other diseased tissues. It enters into the composition of several antiseptic preparations. The oil is also a well-known remedy for malarial and other fevers, and is used in treating diseases of the hair and skin and of the stomach, kidneys and bladder, and is especially valuable for affections of the throat, bronchi and lungs. WOMAN SERVES AS JUROR. Miss Hilda Smith First to Be Impeached Under Colorado Law. Denver.—"Hilda Smith!" As the clerk in Judge McCall's division of the county court called the name the other afternoon, a young woman with golden hair and blue eyes stepped forward, and Colorado's first woman juror was ready to answer truthfully all questions touching upon her "qualifications to sit as a fair and impartial juror." Miss Smith was impaneled in an open venue in the trial of the divorce case of Harvey H. Fretz against Hattle F. Fretz. She sat in the juror's box beside five men, with no outward sign of trepidation. "Gentlemen of the jury—," and Judge McCall paused in his instructions when he glanced at the smiling face of the girl juror, "and lady of the jury," he added, gallantly, and then proceeded. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff and gave him a decree on the ground of desertion. Miss Smith collected $1.50, and resumed the work with which she is more familiar—that of gathering news. "It is not hard work," said Miss Smith, "but I have no desire to be come a professional juror." Old Document Found. Denver.—A bill of lading for 20 African slaves, and dated July 14, 1807, was found a few days ago by John W. Anthony, of Denver, while commaging in the bottom of a trunk. The document is 100 years old. The super announces the shipment of the 50 negroes to his father. The slaves were bought in Charleston, S. C., and shipped to New Orleans. The bill of lading is signed by William Flagg, master of the old ship Carolina. One of the peculiar notations is this: "Shipped in good order and well condition." The freight charges on the slaves from Charleston to New Orleans were $500. ITEMS ON THE WING. Why be surprised at the friendship exhibited by the President towards the South? The following will explain President Theodore Roosevelt, the staunchest national friend of the exposition at Jamestown, is delighted and touched with the suggestion that Georgia shall reproduce as its State building at Jamestown old Colonial Bulloch Hall, at Rosewell, Ga., the birthplace of Martha Bulloch, the mother of the present Chief Executive of the American nation. President Roosevelt has written a very grateful letter to W. N. Mitchell, president of the Georgia State Ter-Centennial Commission, who made the suggestion. The letter is as follows: "My Dear Mr. Mitchell: I need not say how much touched and pleased I was by the proposition to reproduce my mother's old home at Jamestown. Whatever the decision in the matter may finally be, allow me to thank you most warmly for your suggestion." From the Norfolk Pilot. It was remarkable as interesting that the first use of the fine, new guns obtained from the United States Government by the Virginia Infantry was to fire a salute over the grave of the widow of the President of the Southern Confederacy. Mrs. James F. Johnson, of D street southwest, has been very sick. Our old friend Dr. P. B. Brooks is up and out again. St. Monica's Protestant Episcopal Church, Southwest, has very interesting services. The congregation is increasing very much. The difference between rising every morning at six and eight a.m. in forty years amounts to 29,200 hours, or three years, one hundred and twenty-one days and sixteen hours, which are equal to ten years. Our old friend C. A. Champ, letter-carrier, has remarried. So far, Bill is much pleased. "You need exercise," said the M. D. "Exercise!" said the patient; "and I a letter carrier;" "Pardon me," said the Doctor; "what you need is rest. Join the police force." Washington.—The flurry caused by the report that the President intended to appoint a negro surveyor in Cincinnati was ended by his sending to the Senate the name of Amor Smith, Jr., now collector of Cincinnati. Senator Forker recommended Smith, but the nomination was held up until Representative Longworth saw his father-in-law. William Wetch, of Claremont, N. H., oldest member of the G. A. R. and Msonic Order, died last week; age, 166 years. The President has given employees of the navy yards, arsenals, etc. Saturday half-holiday during the summer. The Salvation Army of Chicago, Ill., has established a bureau to prevent suicides. For the first time in twenty years the whipping post will be used in Maryland for a wife-beater. The all-night bank of New York will, after the 4th of Mrch, resume day hours. Broadway, New York city, will have a barber shop that will be open day and night. There will be nineteen barbers and twelve manicures in attendance. Mrs. William Maurer, wife of Detective Maurer, died at Chicago, Ill., last week. She weighed 520 pounds. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 27.-G. Calvin Dickey, a 53-yer-old white man, blew out his brains today with a shotgun, pressing the trigger with a cane. He was led to this deed by melancholia, caused by the death of his wife, a Negress, three years ago. Massachusetts maintains a State Free Employment Office for the unemployed of the State. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of Oberlin College, will be held June 19-25, 1908. Mrs. May Wilcox, of Lincoln, Neb., is the only woman blacksmith in America. Oregon to Be Remodeled. Washington.—The famous battleship Oregon is to be modernized and Secretary Metcalf has announced that he had authorized the expenditure of $1,000,000 out of the naval repair fund for that purpose. Of the best type of warship when she was launched, the Oregon is almost already obsolete and to make her equal to modern men-of-war she must be extensively overhauled. The changes to be made will be similar to those ordered for her sister ship Indiana, the most important being the substitution of balanced elliptical turrets for the present round turrets, which cause the ship to heel heavily when all four of the big 12-inch guns are pointed over the same side of the ship. The alterations will be made at the Puget sound naval station, where the Oregon has been lying since her return from the Chinese station, and will consume one year. Wants Men to Go Hatless Baltimore, Md.—Dr. Thomas Shearer, a leading Baltimore physician, has started a batless fashion for men. He wears no hat in making either social or professional calls and says it will prevent baldness. READ THE BEE.

Pittsburg Post. An excited crowd surged around the East McKeesport jail yesterday, seeking to attack James Wilcox, who had been landed in a cell, charged with assaulting the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Huffman, living two miles from East McKeesport. Borough authorities and law-abiding citizens kept the man under strong guard and urged the crowd to disperse, while Wilcox was sent to jail here and held without bail. Th child was on her way home from school and was bound and gagged and dragged into the woods. After the man left her she crawled to the road and told her story to a passerby as soon as the gag had been removed from her mouth. A posse was organized and Wilcox was caught in the woods and taken to the East McKeesport lock-up, where, it is said, the girl identiftified him. The girl is in a serious condition.
