--- VOL. XXVI NO. 47 ABRAHAM LINCOLN INTERESTING EXERCISES MONDAY NIGHT. There was a representative audience present last Monday night in 99th Street Baptist Church. The occasion was a meeting commemorative of the death of Abraham Lincoln. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Robert F. Lewis, who is one of the most gifted young citizens in this city. Mr. Lewis, after he called the meeting to order, asked the Rev. Walter H. Brook invoke divine blessing. It was a most eloquent prayer. The choir then rendered several musical selections, followed by Mrs. Blackburn, who rendered very sweetly local solo. She is one of the sweetest singers in the city. President Lewis then made a few opening remarks as follows, which were treated with great enthusiasm: Ladies and Gentlemen:— The waves dashed high; the thunders echoed far; The lightnings flashed into the dismal bloom. The bolts by Vulcan forged in nature's womb. And earth was shaken by the furious war! The ship of state was strained in every spar! And strong men felt that now had come their doom; And weak men scanned the dark heav- ens for a star. On in the field of battle march the black man. hundred thousand strong. Though shot and shell flew thick and fast, With sabre at his side and musket in his hand. To save them from a fratricidal tomb. But one amid the strife, collected, calm, Patient and resolute, was firm, and trod The deck defiant of the angry storm, Guiding the ship like to some ancient god! And high upon the scroll of endless fame In diamond letters flashes Lincoln's name. I take great pleasure in introducing to you a man who knows no fear and one who will speak of Lincoln as he was Mr. Chase stepped forward and was loudly applauded. He said among other things that forty-two years ago, April 14, the bullet of an assassin silenced the tongue and laid low the world's greatest benefactor, philanthropist and humanitarian. It was the year in which the most bloody and inhuman conflict had come to a close and four million of human beings and wards of the nation were about to realize the fruits of freedom and an independence which were consummated by a blood conflict. It was the realization of a hope that brought happiness and peace to the heart and mind of a grateful nation. It was the year, my friends, this nation and this republic had ended a conflict that had emancipated the slaves or wards of the nation. Abraham Lincoln believed in the Constitution of the United States and the enforcement of that instrument. He believed in a government of, by and for the people. While many demanded that he should save the Union with slavery, he was thoroughly convinced that it could not be done, because the abolitionists of the North demanded the freedom of the slaves, hence existing conditions forced him to issue and sign the Emancipation Proclamation. He soon found out what the trend of public sentiment was. He was convinced that this could not longer exist as a republic with one-half slaves and one-half freemen. Either slavery or the sacrifice of the Union—this was the time, this was the hour that he became the emancipator of the Negroes. Mr. Chase read the acts of the 30th Congress, in which Mr. Lincoln took an active part. He read the opinion that the late Frederick Douglass gave of Mr. Lincoln, which was listened to with the greatest attention. He showed that Mr. Lincoln always believed in emancipation of the Negro and to give him the ballot. He quoted many of Mr. Lincoln's sayings on the Negro which were very interesting. At the conclusion of his address he was loudly applauded. He was followed by Recorder of Deeds J. C. Dancy. Mr. Dancy made a most eloquent speech. He cited many instances of importance in the life of Lincoln. He was loudly applauded throughout the delivery of his address. Judge E. M. Hewlett was the next speaker. Mr. Hewlett reviewed the life of Lincoln. He compared him with President Roosevelt, to the extent that Lincoln didn't believe in retaliatory measures without proof. Lincoln, he said, did not accept the suggestions of the late Frederick Douglass when Mr. Douglass wanted Mr. Lincoln to retaliate when the colored soldiers were shot THE BEER WASHINGTON Congressional Library down and not regarded soldiers of war. Mr. Lincoln could not punish the innocent without proof. You can see the difference of the two men, Lincoln and Roosevelt. He named several black heroes who had shed blood to uphold this republic. He concluded by offering the following resolutions, which were adopted by the vast audience present by a standing vote: Whereas, The Hon. Joseph B. Foraker has always been the champion of justice and fair play towards all citizens, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. And whereas, he has all along insisted that the gallant soldiers of Companies B, C and D of the 25th Infantry were entitled to a hearing before being discharged, as by order of the President. And whereas, by his persistent demand for the same a committee of the Senate was appointed to investigate the shooting up of Brownsville, and through the masterly conduct of the investigation by Senator Foraker it has been clearly shown that no soldier of the said companies fired a shot or has any knowledge of who did, therefore be it Resolved, that we, the colored citizens of Washington, D. C., in mass meeting assembled, congratulate the Hon. J. B. Foraker for his manly stand, and able conduct of the case, and call upon the colored citizens of the country to give him their united support whenever the occasion presents itself. It as a great meeting and at the conclusion of the reading of above resolutions endorsing Senator Foraker, ladies waved their handkerchiefs and men shouted. It was a scene long to be remembered. THE TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH. Some weeks ago a number of members from Shiloh Baptist Church, of which Rev. J. A. Taylor was formerly pastor, asked for and received their letters. On last Wednesday night, April 10, several of the leading colored Baptist ministers, namely, Dr. Norman of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Dr. Bishop Johuson of the Second Baptist Church, Dr. Loving of the Enon Baptist Church, and Rev. A. Sales of Providence Baptist Church, met by request and organized them into an independent Missionary Baptist Church entitled Trinity, and so reported to the Baptist Ministers' Conference Monday, April 15. The report was received and adopted by the entire body. The new church called Rev. J. A. Taylor as their pastor, elected their officers and commenced its career with bright prospects of future success. The new organization will hold their services at the True Reformers' Hall until the first Sunday in May when they will enter their new quarters in Church street. The church officers are as follows: Deacons, Israel Cook, chairman; Jefferson Minor, Arthur Lewis, Benjamin Green, Wm. Curtis, Charles Jones, Wm. H. Reed. Trustees, Rufus Delany, Willis Jones, Wm. Diggs, R. F. Hughes, W. H. Jones; Treasurer, Wm. H. Rose; Secretary, Mrs. Virginia Shelton. About fifty additional members who left Shiloh Church with Dr. Taylor went to Shiloh Church last evening and asked for their letters of withdrawal. When the list is complete it will reach to about 250 or 300. The recognition council will be held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Wednesday, May 1, at 1 o'clock, at which time the leading Baptist ministers in the city will be present. TEACHERS' FOURTH SESSION. The National Association of Negro teachers will hold its Fourth Annual Session at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., July 17, 18, 19. This will be the same week of the Hampton Conference. The present indications are that this will be the largest gathering of Negro teachers ever had in the United States. It is very evident that the Negro teachers of the country have fully decided had have succeeded in permanently organizing into a National Association. There is no doubt that great good will come of this Annual Conference of Negro teachers. The management will take advantage of the very low railroad rates prevailing at that time to the Jamestown Exposition. President J. R. E. Lee of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and the corresponding secretary, Jas. B. Dudley, of Greensboro, N. C., are anxious to correspond with teachers throughout the country concerning the Hampton meeting. It has leaked out that Uncle Joe Cannon and his party of Congressional sightseers to the Isthmus of Panama were snubbed slightly and almost insulted by canal officials. Had they let Admiral Walker, U. S. N., alone, the Isthmus would now be completed. Read The Bea. WASHINGTON,FD.C., SATURDAY APRIL 20, 1907. L FREDERICK DOUGLASS, THE \GITATOR AND ORATOR. PARAGRAPHIC BY MISS BEATRIZ L. CHASE "A short interview at the White House," drawn by E. W. Kemble, in last week's Colliers' Weekly, gives the President a very "impressive" appearance. According to the estimation of the Census Bureau, the continental Union consists of 83,941,510 persons, and the entire population, 13,182,200.

OPEN LETTER To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States. Sir:— You have been able to find one colored man in the State of Ohio who is willing to serve your selfish desires. You are of the opinion, no doubt, that the appointment of Ralph W. Taylor of Columbus, Ohio, as auditor of the Navy Department will satisfy the discharge of the colored companies. I want to inform you, so that you will not labor under a delusion, that the appointment of one million colored men to office FRANTICIPATION, AGITATOR AND HUMANITARIAN. will not influence them against the Senator from Ohio, Mr. Foraker. I thought I would let you know just the position of the colored voters throughout the country. If I was Ralph W. Taylor and Ralph W. Taylor was the Editor of The Bee, I would inform the President that I object to being used as a catspaw or a toady to rebuke a man who has been a friend to my race. This appointment, Mr. President, is not a drop in the bucket. It will only influence one vote in the entire State of Ohio and that vote no doubt is doubtful—Ralph W. Taylor. You will be convinced, Mr. President, that the colored Americans are manly and the time has come for them to assert their independence. I have ascertained the sentiment of the colored voters and they denounce this appointment as having no political effect on the colored voters of this country. This is not the way to convince the colored Americans that you are their friend. That time has passed, Mr. President. When such a man as John Temple Graves of Georgia nominates you for the Presidency, I think that the time has surely arrived for the devil to hold weekly prayer meetings and invite tom dixon of "The Clansman" forward to repentance. Now, don't you think so? Three companies of colored soldiers discharged in disgrace and without honor and one Ohio Negro appointed to second-class auditorship. Who ever heard of such a thing? You are wasting time, Mr. President, as well as rebuke the patience of eleven millions of loyal colored Americans. Should you succeed in naming Mr. Taft, your secretary of war, the colored voters of the country will not vote for him. I beg leave to call your attention to an editorial from the Seattle, Washington, Republican, the organ of the party in the State: "If Secretary Taft wins the Ohio supremacy contest and is nominated for the Presidency, and if Bryan is nominated by the Democrats, demagogue though he is, fully ninety per cent of the Negro voters of the North will vote for Bryan." You can readily see, Mr. President, the way the colored voters of the North East and West are thinking. You want to show to the colored voters that you are not prejudiced. If you are not against the colored voters why do you allow so much discrimination to exist in your Executive departments? Why do you permit the head of your Commerce department to ignore the claims of worthy colored applicants? Do you know that the Jews are now being appointed in that department by the wholesale? I am not finding fault with the Jews, because they have been treated as badly as the Negro, but I do say that the Jewish vote in this country is not as large as the colored vote, and the latter has received less consideration. You would say that the colored man could not be trusted if he deserted Senator Foraker at this time, would you not? If you have no color prejudice why didn't you appoint Mr. Ralph W. Taylor to the Surveyorship at Cleveland? Why did you listen to the protest of your son-in-law, little Nick Longworth? Just wait until he is nominated again for Congress. It was rumored that Senator Dick would desert Senator Foraker, but all doubts have been set at rest. Senator Dick is a man in whom the Republicans of Ohio have some faith, as well as they have in Senator Foraker. Does Mr. Taft remember his North Carolina speech? I thought it best, Mr. President, to let you know how the colored vote stood so that you would make no more blunders. Don't have such a small opinion of the colored man, Mr. President. Don't come to the conclusion that he is so easily bribed with offices. Don't for a moment believe that he is going to desert Senator Foraker. Not by any means. He is today a great American who loves his country and is supporting the constitution. He doesn't intend to violate any laws. He is going to do what is right and praper. He is watching the signs of the times and to tell you in plain English that he doesn't intend to support you or any man you nominate. He has received from you nothing and he expects nothing. When your war secretary returns to Ohio you will see that he will get cold comfort. By the way, I understand that you intend to send forth your officeholders to make a few speeches for you. Now, if you don't want their feelings insulted, don't send them out, because you will cause a riot. With my best wishes believe me to be Sincerely yours, THE EDITOR LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS. When Frederick Douglass called at the Executive Mansion to see Mr. Lincoln he submitted four propositions to him: First-You must give colored soldiers the same pay that you give white soldiers. Third—When any colored man or soldier 'performs brave, meritorious exploits in the field, you must enable me to say to them that they will be promoted for such service precisely' as white men promoted for similar service. Fourth—In case any colored soldiers are murdered in cold blood and taken prisoners, you should retaliate in kind. A Pure Milk Commission has been organized in the District of Columbia with the Commissioners interested. What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard There are some people in this world who imagine that they know everything and cannot be taught anything. It is always well to listen to those who are able to give you advice. I have heard nothing about the lily whites for some time. It is too amusing to see people so foolish. I do wish that Dr. Chancellor would thoroughly investigate Normal School No. 2 and its methods. It seems to me that something should be done to stop the complaints that are being made daily against that school. Every year some one is charged with favoritism. I am glad to see so much enthusiasm manifested in behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association. I firmly believe that the association will be successful in raising the necessary funds to meet the gift of Mr. John Rockefeller. There is not much interest manifested in the Jamestown Exposition. Mrs. Curtis threatens to resign because there seems to be a great deal of discrimination. The government will place at the head of the colored exposition the necessary officers to protect its interest. I understand that Col. Giles B. Jackson has nothing to do with the Exposition. Thomas J. Calloway has been placed in charge and will no doubt have more to say that any other individual. Mr. E. E. Cooper has been placed in another temporary position. I have never been able to learn why he was suspended or furloughed from the Census Office. I am in favor of investigating certain preachers in the city and see if they are morally fit to occupy the pulpit. A man who is always singing hymns, and having his hands crossed over his heart is more or less a pious hypocrite. You can always tell a hypocrite. He will never do things in the open. He will more or less go behind the screen. Such men are dangerous to the community. Before the enemies of Dr. W. Bruce Evans are through they will be in the soup. The people are circulating a petition requesting the judges to make changes in the personnel of the colored members of the Board of Education. I am delighted to know that the teachers are pleased, with the lectures, of Dr. Chancellor. IS IT A CONSPIRACY? Slowly but surely the web of conspiracy is being woven around the necks of some people who have conspired to ruin the character and reputation of certain teachers in the Armstrong Manual Training School. It is quite evident that there is a certain clique that has no influence with the schools and are personally opposed to the principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. The whole conspiracy will be exposed in a few days. The Board of Education has been thoroughly convinced that the principal is a victim of prejudice. So far as Dr. Evans being lily white, he has less prejudice against dark-skinned teachers than those who have circulated this malicious lie. His best teachers in the Armstrong Manual Training School are very dark but very talented and well qualified. The Bee is in possession of certain facts that will warrant an investigation of certain individuals, who are passing as great moralists and reformers. The Bee is of the opinion that these individuals are walking upon very thin ice. WILL IT BE SEPARATED? There has been another lunch room established in the City Hall. It is claimed that conditions are worse now than before. There will be separate rooms for colored and white lawyers. Just how many modern colored statesmen will patronize this new management will remain to be seen. The colored members of the bar sent a protest to the marshal a few days ago, but as yet he has not answered. A committee of the colored bar association will file its protest with the Attorney Generad, under whose supervision the marshal's office comes. The colored clerks in the Recorder's office and the several departments of the general government who have heretofore patronized this lunch room will desist now. If such discrimination obtains in the City Mall, the temple of justice, it will obtain in every department of the government.

Philadelphia.—Three lineal descendants of Betsy Ross are living here in comparative poverty. One of them is an employee of the municipality. Sarah Markley Wilson, custodian of the museum at Independence hall, is the great-granddaughter of the originator of the American flag. Her great-grandfather was John Claypoole, the third husband of Betsy Ross. Miss Wilson, a gentle, well bred old woman, lives with an elder sister, Clarissa Sidney, and an invalid brother, Jacob, whom both help to support. ```markdown ``` MISS SARAH MARKLEY WILSON. (Great-Granddaughter of Famous Betsy Ross.) in Thomas avenue, Sherwood, West Philadelphia. The meager wages—$37.50 a month—she receives from the city, and the little her sister can contribute by maintaining a small private school, are the family's only means of support. Renowned throughout the country as an authority on revolutionary history, consulted personally and by letter by hundreds of persons in search of historical information. Miss Wilson is of great value to the city as an intelligent custodian of its past. She can accurately answer all the questions of all who visit the museum. Her amliability, her charming old-time courtesy and her fund of information make her invaluable in her position, and yet she receives from the city a smaller pittance than the average scrubwoman. While she is consulted by Colonial Dames, Daughters of the Revolution and members of other historical societies, and has been elected an honorary member of several of these, Miss Wilson is too retiring and too proud to make her straitened condition known, even to those who might be willing to aid her. There is, however, a movement on foot among her friends and some others who know her worth to interest councils in increasing her salary to at least $50 a month. Their little house in Sherwood is rich malay in associations. Heirlooms inherited from Betsy Ross comprise much of the furniture. Highbacked chairs, spindle legged tables, old silver, china and pewter ware that would delight the heart of the antiquarian are in evidence everywhere. An atmosphere of gentility and old world grace pervades the modest abode where these old people are passing their declining days in want. In her leisure moments Miss Sarah Wilson makes for sale copies of the flag her great-grandmother made. HEIRESS TO WED MILLIONAIRE. Niece of John D. Rockefeller Engaged to M. H. Dodge.

That in order for the colored people of this country to show their achievements since their emancipation, it was deemed wise, by the leaders of the race, to hold a separate and distinct exhibit in order to put upon exhibition the marvelous progress they have made mechanically, agriculturally, educationally, and financially; that the world may see and judge for itself the capacity of the Negro as a race; his abifity as a producer. The Negro Development and Exposition Company of the United States of America, a company duly chartered under the laws of Virginia, with an authorized capital stock of $800,000, proposes to show at the Exposition what the race has made, produced, woven, carved, engraved, invented, written and published; in fact, everything the race has done or accomplished, from an industrial point of view, that the world may form a correct and more favorable opinion of the Negro race of this country; to the end that a proper solution of the problem may be had from a business, commercial, financial, and in dustrial point of view. It has, therefore, been decided to ask every member of our race to list for exhibition any and every article made by any member of the race. It is the desire of the Company to have a complete exhibit of every character, except live stock. Our women are noted for embroidery and handsome trimmings, knitting, weaving, and hundreds of other domestic productions; while our men are noted for their skill in drawing, carving, inventing, welding, and putting together articles of value too numerous to name; all such articles and hundreds or others are solicited for exhibition. Implements of every character are much desired. There will be given a first, a second, and a third prize on the various articles produced and exhibited by members of the race. The Congress of the United States has appropriated $100,00 to aid the said Negro Development and Exposition Company in making a creditable exhibit at the said Jamestown Exposition. Now, in order to list the articles for exhibition, it is requested by the Company for all persons who have articles for exhibition, to write the names of said articles on the coupon below, giving the full name of the owner, his or her resiednce, together with P.

Petroleum Plants Show Growth In Number and Capital. Washington.—In 1905 there were 104 petroleum refineries in this country. Their total capital was $136,280,541; they employed 16,770 wage earners; paid in wages $9,989,367; used materials costing $139,387,213, and manufactured products to the value of $175,005,320. As compared with the totals for the industry at the census of 1900, these figures represent increases as follows: In number of refineries, 38.7 per cent; in capital, 43 per cent; in number of wage earners, 37.5 per cent; in amount of wages paid, 48.7 per cent; in cost of materials, 35.5 per cent, and in value of products, 41.2 per cent. The number of products which may be derived commercially from petroleum is so great as to make it impracticable to obtain returns for each of them separately. The principal products, together with the value of each, were as follows: Burning oils, including the different grades of both illuminating and fuel oils, $100,571,825; residuum, $3,138,361; paraffin oils, $6,210,279; paraffin wax, $10,007,274; reduced oils, $16,794,789; naphtha and gasoline, $21,314,537; neutral oils, $1,942,153, and "all other products," which includes coke, carbon points and black naphtha, $15,025,809. In 1904 the volume of refined products exported was 18,213,795 barrels, or 36.6 per cent of the total production for that year, and the total value at the ports of shipment was $74,273.525. Although the quantity was greater in 1901 and in 1902, this value is the largest ever. reported for exports of refined petroleum. It exceeds the value reported for 1899 by 25.8 per cent, that reported for 1889 by 57.5 per cent and that reported for 1880 by 184.1 per cent. Of the total value of exports illuminating oils formed more than 70 per cent. --- THREE BROTHERS, EACH MAYOR. All Are Democrats and All Were Elected on the Same Day. Muskogee, I. T.—The Watts family, of which W. J. Watts was the head in Indian territory, has a record that is without a parallel. There are three Watts brothers, each of whom is mayor of the town in which he resides, all of them Democrats, and all were elected to the office of mayor on the same day. W. J. Watts came to Indian territory in 1871, and established a home. He lived in the Cherokee Nation until 1901, when he died, leaving three sons. They are Jesse G. Watts, mayor of Saltisaw; Thomas J. Watts, mayor of Mulgrow, and Charles G. Watts, mayor of Wagoner. All three are lawyers. W. J. Watts was prominent in the Indian politics of the Cherokee Nation, and made one of the greatest fights in the history of the nation for the establishment of certain rights of citizens of that jurisdiction. The elder of the sons, Jesse G. Watts, is a probable candidate for the Democratic congressional nomination from the Third district. Makes Metal Teeth to Chew Jall Fare. Columbus, O.—"Iron' Teeth John" is the name J. W. Rheam, an inmate of the penitentiary serving three years from Perry county for horse stealing, has earned from his fellow prisoners. Rheam is an old man, and at one time worked at the jewelery trade at Somerset. He has but two good teeth in his head, and found the prison fare rather hard to masticate. With an old file and a piece of soft iron Rheam supplied the deficiency, making a plate to fit over his two remaining molars. John can chew anything now, for he has a set of "store teeth" that he will match with those turned out by any expert dentist. ```markdown ``` J. F-737 DIAMONDS Put Your Money in Diamonds.

Washington.—Gun. Crozler, chief of ordnance, has completed the plans for the new type of 14-inch caliber guns which are to be aided to the existing coast defensors system and the ordnance bureau is preparing to begin work upon the new guns at the Watervillet arsenal at an early hour. But one point remains to be decided and that is whether the guns shall be of the ordinary built-up forged steel type or shall be of the more modern-wirewound construction. The 14-inch gun will be something of a paradox in ord- M GEN, WM. CROZIER. (Chief of Ordnance Who Has Designed New Coast Defense Guns.) nance design, for although full two inches larger in caliber than the standard coast defense gun of the first grade; the new gun will be smaller in every other measurement and even lighter. The purpose is to make a weapon that will have a range and striking force at least equal to the present standard 12-inch gun but that shall vastly exceed the very limited life of that gun. It is not intended to throw away the expensive 12-inch guns now in place along the coast from Maine to Washington state, but rather to supply the new type whenever there are additions to the existing defenses. A strong point in its favor is said to be the fact that its first cost will be less than that of the 12-inch gun, while the addition to its life will result in economy. MEMORIAL TO BISMARCK. Erected in the Berliner Dom by Order of the Kalser. Berlin.—The memorial to the great chancellor of Germany, prince Otto von Bismarck, which has been designed and erected at the order of the katser, by Reinhold Begas, is unique because of the place it occupies. It has been erected in the memorial chapel of the great cathedral of this city known as the Berliner Dom, where until now only Hohenzollern memorials could find a place. The figure of Bismarck is lifelike as to pose and expression. It was at the Statue to Bismarck. request of the emperor that the iron chancellor is represented in the armor of a German knight of old. In happy contrast with the stern lines of the gracefully draped dominant figure, seated alone and looking firmly ahead, are the smaller ones on either side, representing History and Fame. History is intended to show the great achievements of the statesman, and Fame ralses the veil bringing into view a relief picture on the sarcophagus showing the union of the realm and a procession of princes bringing to the enthroned Germania an imperial crown. The pedestal bears only the one word "Bismarck." Child Has Extra Digits. Trenton, N. J.-Twelve toes and 13 fingers are allotted to a young son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon A. Shockley of this city. The prodigy is the first one in the Shockley household. There are seven fingers on one hand and six on the other, and six toes on each foot. All are perfectly formed, and it is believed will not work to the disadvantage of the little one. It was the wish of the Shockleys to have the extra digits removed, but they were prevailed upon by the attending physician to let them remain. A.

Exceptionally Good Ones Command Fancy Prices—How the Young Are Trained—Are Very Sensible to Drafts. Washington.—Writing from Madgeburg, Consul Frank S. Hannah says concerning the business of raising canary birds in the Harz mountains: "The breeding and selling of canary birds in Germany, which has reached such proportions that it now controls the markets of the world, is conservatively estimated of a value of $235,000. In St. Andreasburg alone 50,000 canaries are yearly raised. for export. For an exceptionally good singer and breeder at least 300 marks ($71.40) must be paid and 100 marks ($23.80) is often paid for a good so-called 'Vorsanger', a bird used to teach the younger canaries to sing by example. The normal price for good singers varies from $2.86 to $8.57. Absolute quiet and undisturbed intimate relations exist between the breeder and his birds. Similar conditions are attained by the Madgeburg breeders. Many of the so-called 'Harz canaries' which are exported to the United States are bred in the city of Madgeburg, where some of the best singers are produced. "The training of the young birds to sing correctly is one of the most important and laborious features of the breeder's activity. The young birds, learning by imitation for the most part, acquire bad singing as well as good, and while it is the plan of the breeders' that the birds should only hear the good singing of the 'Vorsaenger', yet some of them naturally chirp and whistle in an unpleasant manner, and care must be taken that these birds be removed before the other birds have acquired the same bad habits and are rendered unsalable. The art of the breeder lies in his being able to discover the slumbering talent in the bird at an early age, developing the same to its highest point of perfection in its particular line. These birds are divided into classes and kept in separate rooms, those having harsh and sharp voices being often placed in covered cages, where instead of singing they are forced to listen to other good singers, through which their faults are often overcome. The better singers, after passing a certain stage where their habits are established and they do not require the close daily watching of the breeder, are taken into a room reserved for the best singers. The elementary training for the singer is generally finished by the end of November and the singing is at its best at the beginning of January and again after the mating time. Canaries are very sensitive to drafts and some singers, the results of years of careful breeding and training, have been ruined by a few moments' exposure by an open window, "The exports of canaries from this district for the calendar year 1905 was $37,655 and for the calendar year 1906 $40,048." Would Manage Whole Town Armour, S. D.—One man may run this town—not a political boss, but a business manager. J. C. Cantonwine is, with other taxpayers, disgusted with the city debt and high assessments. He will put up a bond guaranteeing that if given the management of the city's affairs he will demonstrate that a town and city can be run profitably when conducted along business lines. Some of the aldermen look askance at the proposition, but the taxpayers generally would like to try it. Armour has 2,000 inhabitants and is a thriving town, but it has a bonded debt of $40,000, and city warrants have to be sold at a discount. --- wood, N. Y. e forests in North Carolina. WATER CURE FOR INSANE. Innovation Will Be Introduced at Philadelphia Almshouse. Philadelphia.—Treatment of the insane by water with the idea of washing away insanity germs will be an innovation in the new quarters for the insane at the Philadelphia almshouse, which will be opened soon. Dr. Coply, director of the department of health, is confident of the success of the movement. The plant is designed primarily for the treatment of cases of acute mania by a system of bathing by which the body of the patient is kept completely submerged in running water for as long a time as is deemed necessary to effect a cure. The plant, in its present form, is composed of a number of rooms, of which two are specially set aside for this kind of treatment. In each bathroom a hammock is arranged on which the patient's body rests. Above are hot and cold water faucets with a thermometer attached for gauging the temperature. There is a special appliance for emptying the tub instantly. The water generally is kept at a temperature of 100 degrees and is kept continually flowing. The patient remains in the hammock for a period varying from four to eight hours at a time. At the end of each period he is taken from the bath and placed on a cot, rubbed down, and allowed to rest for half an hour. He then is returned to the swinging hammock and immersed in water. The only purpose for which he is taken from the water is an occasional rest. His meals are given to him in the bath. The head, which rests on a circular rubber cushion, is the only portion of the body not submerged. DETECTS COLORS BY TOUCH. Blind Weaver Becomes Wage Earner and Develops Another Sense. Woxall, Pa.—Henry J. Smith, who was blinded 22 years ago in a premature explosion in a large quarry, has become an expert carpet weaver. His annual average is nearly 1,700 yards, and since he lost his eyes he has woven 31,000 yards for neighboring farmers. It is a wonderful spectacle, to see him separate the different colors of carpet chain. This he does with his fingers, for he has the art of feeling the colors. After he has them separated they are put in different boxes; and here he can instantly tell by the size of the box without feeling so deliberately what color he is dealing with. He is getting so accustomed to his work that he is able to weave finer articles, such as towels and table cloths, and his ingenuity has been shown in a beautiful specimen of table cloth, which he wove from flax spun by a Worcester township woman. PENSION TO POOR PARENTS Ohio Official Proposes New Method of Preventing Child Labor. Columbus, O.—State Shop Inspector Morgan in his annual report submitted to the governor makes the novel proposition that the state of Ohio set aside a fund to be devoted to paying parents in poor circumstances who are now compelled to let their young children work in factories, to enable them to take the children from the factories and put them in school. Gov. Harris is inclined to look on the proposal with favor and may recommend a law to the legislature covering the matter. Mr. Morgan says that Ohio leads all the states in child labor legislation, but he is openly opposed to giving employers discretion to employ children where parents need their wages. Instead he suggests a school pension law by which the parents may be paid an equivalent sum out of the public treasury and the child sent to school. SOMETHING OF BIG EXPOSITION SOON TO OPEN. Great Naval Feature Will Be One of, the Attractions—Many Points of Historic Interest in the Vicinity. New York.—That the Jamestown exposition, which will be formally opened by President Roosevelt on April 26, will astonish the country by its scope and magnitude is the opinion of A. L. Sutton, chief of exploitation. "The grounds, buildings and exhibits will be in complete readiness by the opening date," said Mr. Sutton, "and in this it will differ from all expositions that have preceded it. The visitor who comes on the opening day will know that he will see as much as he could at any time later. I have been connected with several world's fairs, but I consider this one remarkable in many ways. "Its site on the shores of Hampton Roads makes possible the great naval feature, wherein it is unlike all former expositions, while the historic interest attaching to all of the surrounding country will continue it is one of the favorite trips for tourists. "The grounds on Sewell's point have long had the finished appearance of a completed park, and to this end the natural beauties of the land lent themselves admirably to the art of the landscape designer. The garish appearance common to buildings covered with staff is overcome by the use J. President Myers of the Jamestown Exposition. of brick as a veneer, and this-comports with the style of architecture, that of the Georgian Renaissance, usually called the Colonial style, some of the finest examples of which are found in the old mansions along the James river. "The great attention drawn to the naval and military features of the exposition, because of their novelty, has somewhat obscured in the public mind the fact that this exposition is really an industrial one of more than usual interest, inasmuch as the exhibits are of a selected order illustrating man's progress in all of the crafts during a period of 200 years. "The largest manufacturers have taken such an interest in the enterprise as to fill all of the space in the large exhibit palaces and cause an overflow into auxiliary buildings. Some of the exhibitors have erected costly structures for their own exclusive use, among these being the American and Baldwin Locomotive works. "The States' Exhibits building will enable the various states to have, an addition, special exhibits showing their respective resources. The separate state buildings, designed for social purposes, are particularly beautiful in design and of permanent construction, as are indeed a large proportion of the exposition structures. The exposition site promises to become a very important and attractive suburb of growing Norfolk, from which it is reached by a pleasant trolley ride. "Congress and conventions of varied character will fill every day of the exposition. The exposition will also be the center of interest for amateur sports, from foot-racing to yachting. Automobiling will play an important role, and in this connection 'good roads will receive special attention and their making will be shown. "It is curious that despite the fact that newspapers have explained from the first that the exposition is on Sewell's point, many people think it is to be at Jamestown island, the site of the original settlement, the establishment of which, 300 years ago the exposition is to commemorate. Only the ruins remain with several monuments to mark sites, but the patriotic societies have been restoring the old church, and the trip to the island, which is some 60 miles up the James river, will certainly be taken by a large part of the exposition visitors. "Old Point, with Fort Monroe, and Hampton, the oldest town of English origin in the country, and Newport News, with its great shipyards, are across Hampton Roads. On the Roads the battle of the Merrimac and Monitor will be reproduced by naval vessels. Yorktown, where Cornwallis surrendered, is but a pleasant boat trip distance, and many will take advantage of the opportunity to see the great Dismal Swamp, only 23 miles from Norfolk. The battlefields of Virginia and Richmond, the capital of the confederacy, will attract many more. BILENCE AND MYSTERY THERE. Remarkable French Villa, Where Electricity Has Replaced Servants. London.—The house of mystery and silence, or, to give it its official title, La Villa Feria Electra, is situated at Troyes and is owned by Mr. Georgia Knap. All the work usually done by servants, and much that is usually left undone, is performed by electric contrivance. The visitor to the villa finds that, when he rings, the door opens by itself, while a voice proceeding from a hidden gramophone tells him to allow the door to close. Once inside the visitor is confronted by a mat that rubs and dries his boots. Enchanted House of Electricity. Press a button near the bed in your bedroom and a hot water bottle is heated—an arrangement that would suit Toddles. In the morning, curtains fly apart and shutters open in response to the pushing of a button; breakfast, papers and letters arrive at the table in the same mysterious way. An electric lift brings electrically cooked food through the center of the dining table. In the laundry electric washing machines do the washing. Everything in the house, indeed, is run by electricity, and there are even electric alarms for use against those who would break in and steal. TRUSTEE OF SAGE FUND. Daniel Coit Gilman One of America's Leading Educators. Daniel Coit Gilman, who, as trustee of the $10,000,000 "Sage Foundation," will wield a powerful influence in the work of curing social evils in the poverty stricken districts in our large cities, succeeded Carl Schurz as head of the National Civil Service Reform league. He is one of the foremost educators in America. He was the president of the great University of California. He had previously spent two years as attache of the American legation in St. Petersburg and several years as professor at Yale. When the Johns Hopkins university was founded in Baltimore Prof. Gilman was called to preside over its destinies. He soon brought the institution into the front rank of American [Image of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, wearing a tie and a medal on his chest.] DANIEL COIT GILMAN.

Prof. Gilman was the first president of the Carnegie institute and has served on many important educational and charitable boards. Elephants' Dramatic Revenge. The following tragic story of the death of Pargana Barahabhum, khera of Dalma, is related in the Bombay paper, Maubhum. "Pargana Barahabhum went to his paddy field, and found a crop. Hisrage rose, he shot arrows from behind a tree, and he killed a young elephant. Then the greatness of his crime fell on the mind of Paragana Barahabhum, and he fled to his cottage for refuge. But the elephant's father and mother were stricken with rage, and they and their fellows charged the cottage and razed it to the ground. Pargana Barahabhum was wily, and he climbed a tree to the topmost bough. The elephants surrounded it and roared, but they could not reach Pargana Barahabhum. But their sagacity was great, and with their own trunks they brought water from the bund, and they watered the ground at the foot of the tree. When they had watered well and the earth was soft, they uprooted the tree. Then they avenged the death of their young by trampling the life out of Pargana Barahabhum." Too Much Prosperity Senator Hale in a St. Patrick's day address at Ellsworth said of the national prosperity: "Two tramps were conversing over a pall of hot ale. These is terrible times," said the first, as he sat down the smoking pall and wiped his mustache. "They certainly is," the other answered. "A feller can't ask for work nowadays 'thou beln' offered it." THE BEE PUBLISHED AT 1109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR. Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D.

WOODRUFF, OF NEW YORK OUR SCHOOLS. It might as well be understood now that the Board of Education does not intend to allow teachers or officers connected with the public schools to commit offenses in violation of the rules of the schools and by some subterfuge say that they have not been given a fair or impartial trial, or that the Board of Education is prejudiced on account of color. The principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School has been a victim of a seeming conspiracy to do him a personal wrong. There are some people in this city who are inimical to the Armstrong Manual Training School. They are of the opinion that there is an attempt to force industrial education in the schools. The colored people are in need of industrial education. The Bee is more convinced now than it has been heretofore that the Armstrong Manual Training School should be supported, and those colored people who want to educate their heads and allow their hands to grow up in ignorance should be made to see the importance of manual training. The colored schools are in a deplorable condition and Dr. Chancellor and the Board of Education will do the public a service if they will inaugurate some radical reforms. The principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School has no color prejudice. He is one man who has recognized merit ever since he has been at the head of that institution. He has the respect and confidence of the people and it is hoped that the Board of Education will do all in its power to ferret out this conspiracy against him. There are people without the confines of the schools who are opposed to the principal. The great trouble with those who are given a little authority, they will attempt to demonstrate their authority. They want the subordinate teacher to know that they are the bosses, but the moment they come in the presence of their superiors they are patronizing. The abolition of supervising principalship in the public schools will do more to advance the public school system than anything else. CRAIG VS. EVENS. The Bee doesn't quite understand the great interest that the two colored members of the Board of Education have in the Craig vs. Evens case. Why is it that they voted so quickly to dismiss Cardozo, against whom it was alleged he was the author of an alleged anonymous letter, but didn't attack the moral character of anyone, but voted to sustain a man who openly makes charges of immorality and when he is called upon for proof he fails to furnish it? Where is the consistency? Has not the Board ```markdown ``` of Education been fair? Has not Admiral Baird done what no other man would do? Have not the white members of the Board of Education done more in this case than the two colored members? The Bee regrets that Mrs. Terrell should follow Mr. John F. Cook in his inconsistencies. Mrs. Terrell has an individuality and has never been known to follow in the wake of other people. It was kind on the part of the white members of the Board of Education to consent to allow Craig to settle his differences by an apology. Those who have advised Craig to rebel have not the best interest of the schools at heart Elsewhere in The Bee is published the letter of apology which John F. Cook said was brutal and no decent man would sign. Just what he means by that The Bee is unable at this time to state. The Bee has been sustaining the Board of Education because it believes that the white members of the Board are more interested in the welfare of the colored schools than Mr. Cook. No person who has the welfare and interest of the slools at heart would dare to make the statement that Mr. Cook has made. Craig stated that he could not prove his charges, and he directed counsel to ask permission to retract and apologize, which request was granted by Admiral Baird. In view of this statement of facts, will the readers of The Bee and the public agree with Mr. Cook that the apology prepared by counsel, at the request of Craig, is brutal and humiliating? Could not Craig be charged with a more serious offense under the Code? Which reads as follows: The Bee understands such are the charges in the possession of the committee on the teachers. If this be true, was not Craig getting off easy? Dr. Bruce Evens showed no feeling against Craig when he was asked to be lenient on account of Craig's family. He had no disposition to see him removed from the schools. The Bee has no feeling in the matter except for the best interest of the schools. It is quite evident the Board of Education has a duty to perform regardless of the opinion of anyone. Something ought to be done, and that at once. THE OHIO APPOINTMENT. The President has a perfect right to appoint any man to office he pleases, but The Bee thinks that the appointment of Mr. Ralph W. Taylor, the Columbus, Ohio, politician, to the auditorship for the Navy Department is small politics in view of the personal fight that he is making on Senator Foraker. The President, it is claimed, wants to convince the colored people that he is not opposed to them. The colored people are thoroughly convinced and all the appointments the President will make will not change their opinion of him. In the first place, Mr. Taylor doesn't represent the colored Republicans of Ohio. He has no following whatever in his State. This appointment will do more harm than good and certainly the colored voters in Ohio will not indorse it. It is not natural that the colored vote of Ohio will desert Senator Foraker and neither will this appointment influence one vote in the State. Men who stand for something in Ohio are such men as Editor Chevis, Geo. H. Myers, John P. Green, Jesse A. Brown, Harry Simth and many others. These men have a following. The Bee is confident, however, that such men named above would decline an appointment from the Administration. They would prefer to go down in defeat to sacrificing their honor and manhood. While there is but little manhood in some apologists in the Administration, The Bee knows that these men belong to the independent school in Ohio politics. The Bee has no fear of the outcome in the contest between Senator Foraker and Mr. Taft. If there ever was any manhood in the colored Americans in this country this is the time to show it. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? It cannot be possible that United States Marshal Palmer has permitted another person to have use of the Courthouse Lunchrooms and set apart a separate room for colored lawyers and their cooled friends. The colored members of the bar should file a protest with the Attorney General and put it up squarely to him. If the department of Justice can afford to discriminate we must conclude that that branch of our government is misnamed. It should not be called Department of Justice, but called by another name. What does it mean? is the question at issue. This is a government building. The people pay taxes to sustain it. What right has anyone to let the building to a person and that person discriminate against the citizens of the community in which a government building is located on account of their color? Is such an act right and proper? Can this be called a fair government? CHARGE COLOR LINE IN SOLDIERS' HOME. Disgruntled Men Raise Trouble Over Seating. From the Boston American. Marshalltown, Ia., March 20.—Special—An effort was attempted on the part of three disgruntled members of the soldiers' home today to make it appear as though the color line was being drawn in the old men's building. There are eight colored members of the building, in charge of Capt. Nicholas Swenson. This morning at breakfast, Swenson assigned two members at other tables to a table where he had already seated most of the other colored men. Jacob Howard, Leroy Stevens and Enos Luckado, all colored, entered a complaint at headquarters, and refused to eat, saying that Swenson was drawing the color line. Swenson assured them that it was not the case, but some colored members had suggested it would be more-congenial to have all negroes at one table. This view was taken up by a majority of the negroes, and has been requested by them in other homes. There is no difference in the service or meals and two white men remained at the table with the eight colored. Captain Swenson says if he wanted to draw the color line he would change the men's quarters, which has not been done nor is it contemplated. Adjutant Walker, with whom the complaint was entered, advised the men to create no disturbance till Colonel Horton, who is in Des Moines, returned. Howard, Stevens and Luckado did not eat meals all day. Stevens was discharged a few years ago for making false statements about Chaplain Cole. THE LABOR QUESTION. From the Christian Index. The labor question has become a serious one, and one that should engross the attention of our ablest minds. Skilled labor is in great demand and still greater demand is increasing. The Negro has a monopoly of labor in the South. His services could hardly be dispensed with by any legal process. The unsatisfactory labor of the Negro in many States has given coloring to the labor problem. The Negro will be compelled for many years to come to do the drudgery work of his country. He should study the interest of his employer, and devote his time to advancing his business. The Negro should strive to give satisfaction. His negligence in business and his readiness to leave his work on pleasure hunting is detrimental to him. He should learn to stick to his business, be prompt and hold his job. The foreign labor will supplant him and leave him with nothing to do if he does not learn to give greater attention to bread-winning. A GOOD TICKET From the Rock Tim Messenger. In making up its ticket the Washington Bee puts before American people for President Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio and for Vice-President Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff of New York. Like The Bee we would very much like to see Mr. Foraker in the Presidential chair, but we are just as certain as the election is yet to be that he cannot make it. We have said, and sufficient reason has not yet been brought to bear for us to change, that if the next President of these United States be a Republican, that President will be the present incumbent, Theodore Roosevelt. Our friend, Dr. L. H. Harris, is engaged, together with his wife, Mrs. Dr. Harris, in a great work in the South-west among our people. The doctor is getting fat on it, smokes fine cigars, etc. He has a fine drug store—everything up to date. For light upon dark subjects read The Bee, the paper that is not afraid to talk. L.

While modern methods have made rapidity in the construction of large buildings a matter of familiar knowledge, which is now taken as a matter of course, the speed of the work in erecting the new home of the Evening Post was so remarkable as to attract general attention. The comments it evoked from non-technical observers were well founded. One of the builders, the firm of Marc Eidlitz & Son, recently said that he knew of no other case in which a building of its size and type had been erected in the same space of time. The work of tearing down the old structures on the Vesey street site was begun early in May, 1906, and'on June 12 a report was made that they had Early in August the last girders were set, and the whole steel construction work was erected in the record time of six weeks and one day. Ordinarily the process would have occupied double the time. By September 15, the steel skeleton work of twelve stories having been completed, housesmiths were hoisting parts of the mansard roof into place, and the stone and brick work was well under way. Although the masonry had to be started from a point twenty-five feet below the curb, the side and rear walls had then been carried up to the fourth floor. The granite work of the front and the cut-stone work of one story were in place, while the arching and fireproof work of eight stories were ready. Carpenters had been at work for several days putting in temporary stairways and frames, and much of the material for the inside of the structure was on hand. The plumbing, electrical work, elevator construction, and metal furring were all well advanced. The stone front of the building is an example of remarkably quick work, having been erected from the sidewalk to the roof in less than five weeks. In considering the rapidity of the whole construction, it should be remembered that the girders used in the foundation are of unusual size and weight, a fact which in itself delayed the work for many days. On January 21 the first tenant moved into the building, on the ninth floor, having complete use of his offices, of toilet rooms, and of elevators. Other tenants took possession of their rooms in February, and on March 9 still others moved in, occupying the entire first and second floors. The Evening Post began to install the equipment of the hand-composing room on March 6. VARDAMAN. From the N. Y. Evening Post. Gov. Vardaman has begun his campaign for the Senate by his usual demagogic attack upon the Negro. In his opening speech he said: "If it is necessary that every Negro in the State be lynched, it will be done to maintain white supremacy;" and he added with commendable frankness: "The white man, the Caucasian, is utterly conscienceless when it comes to racial existence." At the same time he stated that he was not hopeless of a solution of the race problem. But constructive remedy is, as usual, not to be found in his speech. In marked contrast with this exhibition of semi-savagery on Gov. Vardaman's part is a recent utterance by ex-Gov. Northen of Georgia. "I believe," he said in a speech in Atlanta, "every one of a mob a red-handed murderer, whether he be the tail-end member or a leader. . . I consider people who burn Negroes as savages hot from hell. Just now we are lapsing into barbarism, and our civilization is slipping from us. Something must be done." While the Columbia State feels that this is too pessimistic, it expresses its opinion that "we have a few public men, not many, who seem to be doing all they can to fan the flame of hatred between the races, instead of trying to extinguish it." There are many other signs that the South is rapidly dividing into two classes: those who follow Vardaman and Tillman in their blindly destructive policy, and those who, like Mr. Northen, believe that there is such a thing as a Christian duty towards a backward race—backward by reason of the white man's cupidity. ANOTHER OLD PIONEER GONE From the Detroit Informer. Agnes Wallace, born September 17, 1828, in Albemarle county, Virginia, departed this life at her late residence, 147 Madison avenue, April 2, 1907, at 1.30 P. M., after an illness of a few days, aged 78 years, 7 months and 15 days. She was married to James Wallace at the age of 19 years, in 1847, and came to Detroit in 1848. When she came to this city Detroit was only a small village. Her husband had a barber shop in the old Artesnold Hotel, afterwards changed to the Russell House; she was converted and joined the Second Baptist church in 1848 and fas a faithful member and consistent worker during her life. She had lived in only two houses since 1848, both of which she purchased, one on Congress street and the other where she died and lived on Madison avenue for over forty years. She leaves a sister in Alexandria, Va., one nephew in Washington, D. C. and niece in Cleveland, O., one in Windsor, Ont., one in Louisville, Ky., two in St. Louis, Mo., and a nephew in Charleston, W. Va., and one in New York, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. THE NEW THEOLOGY. What Is It, From the South African Spectator, Cape Town, Africa. There is considerable excitement just now in religious circles owing to the recent declaration of the successor to the late Dr. Parker of the City Temple. From the Mobile, Ala., Register A housekeeper asks the Register to give advice and assistance in the matter of providing domestic help. She says that the situation has become intolerable, as colored help cannot be obtained. In her distress she has written to the paper to ask if something can be done to get white domestic servants by immigration or in any other way. The immigrants who come to this country are of the farming or laboring class, and are ill-fitted to become domestic servants. The only foreigners who are capable of this sort of service are the Chinese and Japanese, and the Chinese are barred out, and the Japanese are likely to be barred out by treaty, it being the consensus that they do not form a desirable addition to our population. The only source of supply is in the Northern States. There is a class of white people accustomed to domestic service, but it is difficult to persuade these people to come South. There have the idea that the South is a very hot and sickly region, and, besides fear that they may come into contact with Negro servants. Nevertheless, if a considerable number of keepers here would organize, pledged to employ white servants, and would send a trainee agent to the North to explainicularly favorable situation of White in climatic and health point of view to give assurance of good treatment and good wages, it might result in so large a number of applicants in a large basis for a "colony." It must be recognized that White or so of these white servants were all, would find their jobs too great to be long endured. Nor has a large number of white servants principally as help in restaurant. Mobile may be able to get the same help the business is undertaken in some THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES From Our Dumb Animals We begin to see in the newspapers coming to our table nominations for President to succeed President Roosevelt. We don't care two straws whether he is to be a Republican or Democrat, or whether he ever made a speech in his life, or what State or Territory he is to come from, if he is or isn't intelligent, level-headed, honest and human man; and such a man we will be to our present Massachusetts Senator, Winthrop Murray Craig. In the interests of our country and the progress of civilization and human we are glad to give the above opinion to the about twenty thousand newspapers on our exchange list. Mr. Hearst of the New York Journal says that the time has arrived for a new party to take the field.

THE MEN'S CLUR The paper of Mr. John Paynter on Dunbar and Frederick Douglass before the men’s ciub of St. Luke’s Church last Wednesday evening, was well writ- ten and well delivered. Mr. Paynter is a good writer and a man of deep thought. He is one of the most brilliant writers among the men of his race. President Jerome A, Johnson, at the conclusion of Mr. Paynter’s paper, call- ed on those present to discuss the paper, which they did. Among those who dis- cussed the paper were Mess. Under- wood, Brooks, Wm. Mayes, W. Calvin Chase and others. At the conclusion of the discussion the committee of the men’s club tendered the members a col: lation.

CORROTHERS. The citizens of this city and friends of Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith Church, tendered him a public reception last evening in the main auditorium of his church. Rev. Cor- rothers has made a brilliant church rec- ord since he has been in this city. He has done more for Galbraith Church than any minister who has occupied that pulpit. There was a distinguished au- dience present last evening to tender to this well known divine a testimonial that will be remembered for a long time to come. The church was beautifully decorated with flags and other orna- ‘ments. The pulpit was bedecked with palms and cut flowers. The master of ceremonies was Mr. W. Calvin Chase who paid a handsome tribute to the worth of Rev. Corrothers and his loy- alty to his people. Mr. Chase said that the minister in whose honor we have assembled has won his way up in the world by hard blows and perseverance He has the respect and confidence of hi church and the entire connection. Rev Corrothers believes in the colored Amer jeans. He believes in his professiona men of every character and the citizen of Washington could not do honor to more deserving man.

SYLVESTER L. CORROIVHE «>. On behalf of the people, Rev. Corro- thers was presented with a handsome Pirse, In response Rev. €orrothers said in Bets Ladies and Gentlemen and Fries :— T eva hardly express my appreciation a: well as surprise. Tam glad to know that my services since my stay in this city have been appreciated. I have en- deavered to do my duty and nothing ‘more. I have followed strictly the di- ‘vine law and obeyed to the letter the law of the Iand. “While I have labored in and ont of season, I have had the co- operation of the members of my church and the good peuple of Washington for whom I have the most profound respect and admiration. My church has met every demand imposed upon here Her membership has been steadily on the increacc, -which has been more than gratifying to me. . Several musical selections were ren- dered, after which the guests repaired to the lecture room helow, where ev- erybody partook of refreshments that had been arranged by the committee. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D.D., pastor of Galbraith A. M, E. Zion Church, has been in Washington, D. C, and in charge of Galbraith ‘Church for over four years. When hej, took charge of Galbraith Church there was a very heavy church deht, with other pressing obli- gations. . The first. yeas work, Dr. S. L. Cor- rothers paid all the expenses other than ,the main debt and a large amount of that. The second year Dr. S. L. Corro- thers paid off the second mortgage and succeeded in getting the church ‘in a good working condition and he has beer decreasing the debt ever since. Among the many pastors Galbraith Church has had, Dr. Corrothers has done more work in four years than all the rest of them put together in ter years, . When Dr. Corrothers took charge ot the church a great many of the member: had been scattered here and there anc everywhere, but he devised some plan: for getting all the old members in lin in which he succeeded. After he hac gotten them, Inck into working ordes he organized them into clubs, giving them some special work to do and there by he received their support. The firs year's revival he took in over 200 mem: bers which showed that he was not onl; paying off the expenses of the churct but he was bringing souls to Christ which is his calling. Before Dr. Cor rothers was here three months the con gregaticn hed increased in such a man: ie that on Sunday nights after 7.45 you could not get a scat. The morning con: “gregation had increased twice in num ‘ber since Dr. Corrothers has been there j Shortly after Dr. Corrothers’ appoint |ment, Recorder Dancy became a mem | ber of the Church and started in doin; Jactive work in the church, EMANCIPATION DAY.

Muskogee, I. T.—The ignorant negroes throughout Indian territory are greatly excited by the reported approach of a destructive comet. In many places they have quit work and are assembling nightly in churches and holding religious services. No Stropping, No Honing It is reported at Fort Gibson and at many other points along the Arkansas river where there are large negro settlements that the comet is the only thing talked about, and the negroes believe that the world is coming to an end. This condition has reached such proportions that the Times-Democrat, a local newspaper, telegraphed Prof. P. J. J. See, of Mare Island, asking his opinion about the comet. His reply was: Set consists of 12 double-edged blades (24 keen cutting edges) with triple silver-plated holder in velvet lined case. Each blade good for an average of more than 20 satisfying shaves.

A great many Indians have also become alarmed over the agitation, but they are not demonstrative about it, as are the negroes. At Westville it is reported that meetings are being held nightly and prayer offered. These reports come from the smaller towns and rural communities. There is not much excitement among the negroes of the larger town, although it is understood that in nearly every church service Sunday reference was made to it. Paris.—A few days ago, according to a report from Balz, Switzerland, a journalist who manipulated his typewriter in his room at night was summoned in legal action for disturbing the other tenants. He was fined 80 cents or four days in jail with warning that a second offense would be dearer. Similar cases crop out occasionally in Paris, where freak cases abound. Planists are the most frequent offenders. The law says that planos must not be banged after ten o'clock in the evening. Phonographs are rapidly becoming close competitors of pianos, but an instance has recently been recorded in which a phonograph played a role more useful than annoying. The landlord of a residential house let his ground floor to a coppersmith, the noise from whose workshop greatly disturbed the other tenants. One of them, instead of resorting to the complicated procedure of calling in experts, simply had the noise registered by a phonograph and brought action for damages against the landlord and UNCLE SAM HUNTS FOR HEROES. Naval Department Has Medals for Many Modest Sailors. Washington.—Uncle Sam is to run opposition to Andrew Carnegie in "hero medal" distributing. Beneficiaries are to be those who fought with the American navy or marines in the Spanish-American war. It is not required that "heroes" Uncle Sam is hunting for saved the lives of anyone. If a veteran can prove he was especially active in the war he will get a medal. "The navy is looking for every man who helped whip the Spanfards, as it has several hundred medals, on its hands of which it wishes to dispose," the instructions received here read. "Heroes who risked their lives in the service of their country are being advertised for, but still the most of them have failed to answer the honor roll call." By a legislative resolution on March 3, 1901, the secretary of the navy was authorized to issue bronze medals commemorative of naval engagements in the waters of the West Indies and on the shores of Cuba in the Spanish-American war. A board of awards submitted a list of engagements, but the secretary has enlarged the list so as to include all officers and men who were under fire. MAKES HIMSELF AT HOME. Burglar Breaks Into House, Bathes, Sleeps and Then Robs. Stamford, Conn.—After breaking into the home of two wealthy maiden sisters, the Misses Frances and Cornelia Smith and finding it untenanted, a burglar calmly took a sleep in one of their rooms before selecting the articles which he wished to steal. He set the alarm clock for five o'clock. When he arose he took a bath, ate a hearty breakfast and then commended a leisurely inspection of the valuable articles in the house. The Smith sisters are in the south, and when the caretaker found the broken window in the kitchen he ran to summon the police. While an officer was climbing through the broken window the burglar walked out of the front door with several hundred dollars' worth of booty and escaped in the direction of Greenwich unseen by the officer.

SIGN OF THE BIG BOOT WILL HONOR CUSTER MONROE, MICH., TO ERECT MONUMENT TO ITS SOLDIER HERO. Famous Cavalry Leader Was Born In Ohlo, But Always Regarded Wolverine Village as His Home. Monroe, Mich.—Though he was perhaps the most famous soldier who has ever called Michigan his home, there is as yet, 31 years after his death, no memorial within the borders of the state to Gen. George A. Custer. To remedy this the citizens of Monroe are now agitating the erection of a handsome monument to this dashing cavalryman who, from his later boyhood, always looked upon Monroe as his home. Though Gen. Custer was born in Ohio and though his parents continued to live there, with the exception of one year, Custer himself went to school at Monroe and spent much of his time there with his sister, Mrs. Reed, who had married a Monroe man. His appointment to the military academy at West Point was given him by an Ohio congressman, but it was always to Monroe that he returned for his furloughs during his academy course as well as on his later leaves of absence during the war. There he was married to Miss Libbie Bacon, daughter of Judge Bacon, one of the most prominent of the town's citizens, and there was the sorrow greatest when the dread news came on that Fourth of July of centennial year of the annihilation by the Sloux under Sitting Bull of the gallant general and his whole command of the Seventh cavalry on the Little Big Horn in Montana, eight days previous. Since that day the federal government has made the site of the "last battle" a national park, marked the route of the Seventh's last march, and erected a handsome monument on the site where Custer himself fell. But Michigan, on whose name he shed luster by his command of the "Michigan brigade" during 1863 and 1864, has done nothing toward providing a memorial to his deeds. It was Custer and his "Michigan brigade" that during the civil war restored the cavalry arms to the place it had occupied in the days of Napoleon, when the dashing cavalry charges at Murat were an important factor in almost every battle. Appointed brigadier general when but two years out of West Point for gallantry in small actions as an officer on the staff of Gen. Pleasanton, commanding the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac, Custer was assigned to the "Michigan brigade," composed of the First, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Michigan regiments of cavalry. At this time the cavalry was rather looked down upon by the other branches of the service, but the tactics of Custer and his "Michigan boys" soon changed all this. Instead of depending upon the carbine, as the cavalry had done in the civil war up to that time, Custer placed his trust in the saber and in the efficiency of the sweeping mounted charge to dismay his enemy. That the cavalry came to be looked upon as an effective force from that time on was due as much to Custer and his actions as to any other single influence. For a year he commanded. the Michigan brigade and then was advanced to the command of the Third exceptional attention be- making.

SIGN OF THE BIG BOOT division of the cavalry corps. His exploits there attracted the attention of the whole north and that of the south as well, and his generalship during the closing campaign which ended in the surrender, of Appomattox left him with the highest individual fame as a cavalry commander of any man, either northern or southern, with the single exception of Phil Sheridan. After the war, when the principal duty of the cavalry, to which he was assigned as lieutenant colonel of the Seventh, was Indian fighting, Custer's success was as great as it had been against the southern legions, and in not a single instance did it all, except in the "last battle." And even there the claim, made at the time by Custer's friends, that his defeat and annihilation were the direct results of the failure of his subordinates to obey his orders has never been disproved, so that there is nothing from his first action in 1861 until he was shot down in the midst of his men on the Little Big Horn in 1876 to tarnish his fame as a brave man, a gallant soldier and a brilliant commander. The citizens of Monroe have taken up in earnest the matter of a monument to be erected in the city of his adoption and will probably go to the legislature with a request for assistance in raising the money necessary, which it is figured will be about $25,000. Two sites are being considered. Toes Are Worth $722 Each. Green Bay, Wis.—A jury here has fixed the price of toes at $722 each. William Gussart, who lost three toes while working for the Greenleaf Stone company, brought suit to recover damages and the jury awarded him $2,166.

PENITENT PAYS FOR FREE RIDE. Glives Railroad Price of Ticket He Saved by Borrowing Pass. Springfield, Ill.—"This money has been hurting my conscience for more than six months, and I am glad of an opportunity to refund it." With these words, a man the other day tendered $4.75 to John H. Lord, city passenger agent of the Illinois Central. He explained that it was in payment for a ride which he had taken last July from Chicago to Springfield on a borrowed pass. The matter, he said, has been troubling his conscience ever since, and he finally concluded the only thing to do was to turn over the money to the railroad company. After a little questioning he gave his name as T. E. Timmus, but declined to say who the holder of the pass was or what occasioned his repentance. Mr. Lord was somewhat at a loss as to what to do with the money, but finally accepted it and gave the man a receipt for the amount. He has remitted it, with an explanatory letter to the general passenger agent of the road at Chicago. The city passenger agent of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis railway received a communication from a man in Kansas City, asking the amount of the fare from Pekin to Granite City. He stated that he had stolen a ride over that route, and his conscience had troubled him so much ever since that he wanted to pay the fare. NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON CANDY KITCHEN, 1614 14th street, N.

In the Cardozo case the evidence is circumstantial, whereas in the Craig case the charges alleged to have been made against Dr. W.

Cook, one of tse colored members of the Board of Education, should have said that no man yrould sign the letter of apology that as prepared by Craig’s at- tomey.

He votes against Prof. Cardozo because it is alleged that he, Cardozo, wrote an anonymous letter, He votes to sustain Craig, who has made certain charges against teachers in the Amnstrong Manual Training School and failed to furnish proof. The question of apology first originated with Craig and his counsel only carried. out the “suggestions made by Craig and his friend. As there has been so much said about an alleged brutal letter that no decent man would sign, The Bee pub- lishes below the letter’ of apology which originated with Mr. Craig, and it was thought that he was getting off very "easy after having made such grave charges: Sec. 818, False charges of unchastity. —Whoever wrongfully accuses any wom- ‘an of unchastity shall be punished By : DR.

THE APOLOGY. Washington, D, C., April 2, 1907. To the Board of Education. Ladies and Gentlemen:—Some time ago I made statements derogatory to Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, said statements being of‘ the same tenor and effect as testified to by Dr. W. Bruce ‘ Evans before your committee during my invesigation. I made such statements merely from information and not from persona Knowledge. I have always believed anc do yet believe that Dr. Evans is a cleat man morally, and that he is otherwise efficient intellectually, and is doing all in his power for the upbuilding of the Armstrong Manual Training School by example as well as precept, and what ] said against him was actuated by a be lief that he was opposed to me. Since the said investigation and from what I now know, I am frank to admi that what I said was a repetition o rumors from irresponsible sources an that I have thus done him, the schoo and others a gross injustice. I therefore retract all that I have said either directly or indirectly, against hin and offer to the Board of Educatior Dr. W. Bruce Evans and the teacher of Armstrong Manual Training Schoo this, my heartfelt apology, and am read and willing at any time to make a simi lar apology publicly before the school. I further assure the Board of Educa tion that the principal of the Armstron Manual Training School will never agai have occasion to complain of any mi: conduct on my part, but I shall giv him my undivided support. Believing that the foregoing is amp! and appreciative apology, I subserit myself, Very respectfully. We are sorry for our ‘friedd, H.C. Harris, We trust that he and his wife will bury the hatchet. ¢ LEGAL NOTICES. JOHN E. COLLINS, ATTORNEY. TRICT OF COLUMSIA. Holding a Probate Court. Estate of Margaret Mathews, deceas- ed. No. 14185.
