Washington Bee

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States. There are times in the lives of public men that they are able to see theiriors and will profit by what they But in your case the more errorsblunders you commit the bolder you come. You must call all your oppositars, Mr. President. Some of them very truthful. A man who attempts make the Hon. William E. Chandler a liar will have a very hard job. Senator Chandler belongs to the old reliable school of politicains, and you touch him you touch a liveout you insist on thrusting the Hon. Wilm Taft upon the Ohio people. I old suppose that you had enough of Ohio muddle. Are you not conviccet that the people of Ohio intend stand by Senators Foraker and Dick? You insist on doing that which ultimately end in destroying the republic party in Ohio. I see that you have succeeded in having the officeholders to declare for Mr. Hill. You will see that the officeholders the State of Ohio will not have the report of the people. The State of Ohio will not be divided on the Senators. This State, or rather the people the State, stand ready today to decide the men. I see also that Prof. Booker To Washinton has made your Secretary of War of the trustees of the recent one million dollars that was given to him for Southern education. Just What Mr. Washington motives are in making a trustee of funds willed to the northern colored people who is inimical their interest I am unable to exert. I want to inform Mr. Washington that being one of the trustees of and for the colored Southern people must help his cause in the least. The real people, as I told you some time Mr. President, have bid you farewell and all Mr. Washington may do half of Mr. Taft will be without press. I admire Mr. Washington in school work, but I don't appreciate methods in attempting to make you reary of War the custodian of Nethunds, especially when he has no for him. Washington is doing a great work skisegue, but he continues to coque in your Secretary of War. I feel that he will be one of those beautiful trees that Moses used to love. I have admiration for the Wizard of Tussey, but I think that he has committed a blunder in naming the Hon. Willatt one of his trustees. Certainly Washington is aware that Mr. Taft is much responsible for the dismissal of the cooted troops in disgrace as you Mr. President. I had the power to teach the South-colored man manhood rights, I did say that Mr. Taft was objection-as a trustee of his funds, Now, Mr. President, you no doubt of the feast Pompey prepared ujst Cesar crossed the Rubicon? Inad of Pompey enjoying the feast, war was triumphant, hope that you have been benefited your trip. I sincerely hope that the actual situation in Ohio has had a welcome effect upon you. by the way, you have sent every Ne-soldier out of the United States. I friend the Hon Jonn R. Lynch is in the Philippines. Then the Rev. O. W. Scott has left also. At the open-of-the Jamestown Exposition there is not a colored soldier present. Who responsible for it? You or your university of War, Mr. Taft? The Negro Building is not open yet. Nevertheless you might have had a few armed troops there, which would have won the difference in the condition of colored Americans at the time the Negro slaves landed at Jamestown, head of Negro slaves, the world would have seen Negro soldiers. The old South did not want this, and to notify that sentiment you sent all the Negro soldiers out of the district, didnt Mr. President? And, to my surprise, Mr. Washington has made your university of War one of the trustees the funds for the Southern Negro. Similarly, Mr. Taft will not accept. The groves dont want him, although Mr. Washington may. address you this letter, Mr. Presi- to let you know just what the need Americans are thinking. They think as I do, Mr. President. many your officeholders not excepted. Yours truly. READ THE BEE. THE BEES WASHINGTON Congressional Library. HOWARD UNIVERSITY GRADUATES PEDAGOGUES Great Work of Dr. L. B. Moore at this Institution. Never did the great work of Prof. Lewis B. Moore for the university and the race appear to better advantage than last Thursday night, when he presented for graduation his eight classes of the Teachers' College Three of them recieved the normal training diploma. Miss Eloise Bibb, of New Orleans; Miss EvaG. Crutcher, Washington, D. C.; Mr. Wendell P. Smith, Washington, D. C. One received the domestic arts diploma, Miss B. Blanche Kennerly, Washington, D. C. Five received the kindergarten diploma: Miss Ethel K. Belcher, Augusta, Georgia; Miss Estella Fry, West Chester, Pa.; Miss Ione Hutchens, New York city; Miss Blanche Thomas, Pensacola, Florida; Miss M. Juana Woodson, Memphis, Ienn. Two will next Wednesday receive the degree of bachelor of philosophy: Miss Gertrude D. Stewart, Charlottesville, Va.; Mr. Howard M. Thomas, A.B. Sparrows Point, Md. M. The Teachers' College was organized eight years ago by the trustees, who desired to bring the work of training colored teachers up to the grade of work done in the more advanced schools, like Columbia University, New York city, and others for white teachers. Dr. Lewis B. Moore, who had come to the university four years before, after taking the Ph.D. degree from the great diversity of Pennsylvania, was given th task of organizing the college. By consecrated ability and hard work he soon brought it to a place where it commanded the attention and respect of the educated public and the envy of local rivals, who ought to be assisting the work rather than trying to detract from it by insinuating and jealous immendoes. So favorably is the work of the College known that students flock here every year from several States to fit themselves for the special higher pedagogical training under a man who has made himself a master of the subject by studying in the best universities at home and abroad. The catalogue shows that the students of this college come from nineteen States and the District of Columbia. Since its organization the college has graduated 119 students, 35 of whom are teaching in elementary schools, 22 in kindergarten, 7 in high schools and academies, and 3 in normal schools. We know of no school that can show such results during its first eight years. So constant is the demand for scientifically trained teachers from the various progressive communities that Dr. Moore cannot supply the demand. Those who graduate are quickly taken up at a good salary, because they are equipped in both theory and practice. The anniversary exercises were made significant by an able address by Rev Dr. Huckel, of Baltimore. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, in a fitting manner, presented the diplomas. Dr. L. B. Moore, the dean, presided. Music was furnished by the Lyric Orchestra. Miss Eloise Bibb presented a well-written and well-delivered paper on the "Essentials of Leadership." Saturday, May 25, Alumni day, general reunion for all schools and colleges of the university. Sunday, May 26, baccalaureate sermon by President Wilbur P.

Attention is called to alumni day, which will hereafter be a permanent feature of commencement week. The Alumni Associations of the several colleges and schools of the university are invited to participate in making the day a marked success. SECOND BAPTIST LYCEUM.

WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MAY 25, 1907. Government Grants Charter TO THE I. L. U. GRAND LODGE. The I. L. U.

The Grand Lodge is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the order during May, and the various subordinate lodges throughout the country are holding appropriate exercises and commemoration services in honor of the event. The Grand Lodge reports an excellent growth for the month of April, 1907. Thirteen new lodges were formed, also one new district council, and seasr.o. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. one lodge was reinstated, thus making a total of fifteen which were added to the list for the month of April. Over 416 lodges have been started, and 36,500 members initiated up to date, and the good the order is doing among our people is increasing every day. So far this year a net increase of more than $10,000 per week has been gained in the wages of the members of the Union, all of which goes directly into the pockets of the members.

The commissioners have issued an order that on June 144, known as Flag Day, the American flag is to be displayed on all building belonging to the District, and citizens are requested to display the national emblem. Does our government recognize the class of people, called Negroes, who have been discussed so much by the conventions which have been in session in the District? Our Constitution offers protection to persons as its citizens, not from a racial standpoint.

The Washington Bee: We desire to ask if there are any Negro hotels and boarding houses in Washington, D. C. We spent an hour looking closely over your paper trying to find out where a stranger could go to stop in the National Capital, knowing 'The Bee to be one of the largest Negro journals in the country we naturally expected to find the information in thta paper. After looking very close we succeeded in finding in an obscure place the advertisement of one boarding house. A party of members of the Executive Board that is to convene in your city on the 17th were anxious to decide on what hotel to go to before reaching Washington; they wanted to secure rooms in advance, but could not do so because there was no advertisement of these places in your paper. We were passing through Washington last October and had the same difficulty in finding a place to stop and a place to eat. Weekly newspapers run by our people are watched by visitors who contemplate visiting certain cities. The National Convention will meet in Washington, in September, and there will be hundreds of people to find locations. Yours truly, Henry Allen Boyd, Assistant Secretary, N. B. P. B. Rev. R H.

Holmes, of Macon, Georgia, there was a good attendance. The various parts of the country were represented.

The immediate work of the agent will be to raise ten thousand dollars to comply with a conditional offer of the American Baptist Mission Society of New York city to give the board twenty-five thousand dollars if ten thousand dollars are raised. It is the intention of the board to found a 'theological seminary at' Nashville, Tennessee, where the denomination owns and operates the largest printing plant in the world owned by the race. Rev.

Dryan, O.—Eighty-five years old, Jack Page, whose evidence sent 22 men to the Ohio penitentiary during the past two years and broke up the worst gang of firebugs, ever exposed in this country, has himself been sent to serve two years in the penitentiary for arson. An old indictment was revived, and Page pleaded guilty. There was nothing else for him to do. The judge told him the action was a rebuke to him for trading upon Lis ability to convict other culprits. It is also said that Page was sent to the penitentiary largely to protect him from violence, as he is said to have made additional revelations that 7 (Aged Man Who Sent Score of Firebugs to Prison.) will cause a sensation greater than ever. It is said that he has of late gone back to the firebug business. For 25 years a band of firebugs operated in this section of Ohio and across the border in Michigan and Indiana, and nearly $2,000,00 worth of property was destroyed. Between 50 and 100 men were involved, many of them among the most prominent in William, Fulton and Lucas counties. Page was the star pyromaniac of the bunch. He was an expert at setting fires, but was the tool of the wealthier men. For a trick turned in Michigan he was arrested and convicted, the gang failing to aid him. While he was in prison they neglected bis family. Page came out of the prison afame with bitterness. He began his confessions two years ago, and 70 indictments were returned, some being still pending. The cases went back 20 years. He told how arson had been made a business by a gang which solicited trade the same as an insurance company does, except that their proposition was the reverse of the insurance proposition. They insured destruction by fire instead of protection from fire. They worked up custom among men who were in financial straits and needed the insurance money, and even farmed out their services to persons who wanted a neighbor's barn burned for revenge. So many prominent men were in the conspiracy that justice was baffled for over a score of years. STATUE TO GEN. McGLELLAN. Fine Bronze Memorial Recently Unveiled at Washington.

REWARD FOR LONG SERVICE, Sydney Olivier Appointed Governor of Jamaica. - London.—Sydney Olivier, C. M. G., has been appointed governor of Ja- maica to succeed Sir Alexander Swet- tenham, whose resignation resulted from the demand of the British gov- ernment that he apologize.to Admiral Davis, U. S. N., for the insults he of- fered him at the time of-the earth- quake. Mr. Olivier entered the co- Jontal office at the top of the open competition, 25 years ago.

If she gets up at the usual hour sleeps six instead of eight hours— she goes to work with lowered vitality, is svoner exhausted, and instead of working upon the force stored in every part of her by sleep, she works upon her nerves. upon brain and mus- cular matter—not the overplus of their energy; and working upon our capital of any sort is the easiest way of going into bankruptcy.

HAD TAPPED HEMLOCK TREES Vermonter Loses -Maple Sugar Yield Through Ignorance of Worker. Pomfret, Vt.—The next time Law- rence Gc, hires a new farm hand he will be certain that he snder- stands his work before he sends him into the sugar bush to tap. It will ‘save bim a lot of trouble and much chaffing. . Mr. Pratt hired the man, Henry Jones by name, to do general work about the farm and help him out dur- ing the maple sugar season. He ‘mew that Jones had been employed duting haying last summer by A neighbor and had given satisfaction, so he didn’t go into particulars. When it came time -to prepare spiles, or taps, for the maple trees, Jones appeared a bit rusty as to their manufacture, but after watching the boss for a few minutes he proved a master hand at whittling them, The farmer delegated Jones to tap the trees, =, Everything went well until the first tun was boiled. The sap seemed ez- ceptionally sweet, but when It had been boiled down the syrup tasted ditter and he and Jones were nauseated. - _ "You are sure you didn't tap any- thing but maples?” inquired Mr. Pratt. “Why, there ain't nuthin’ else in the orchard, is there?” asked Jones. “Nothing else!” shouted the farm- er. “Why, manj there must be 30 | hemlocks sticking around.’ “Well, then, I, must have tapped ‘em,” greaned the hired man, “for I tapped every tree on the hill.” ‘A: HIGH:-DEGREE- aay 7 \ 4 of satisfachun 1 « rare thing in A |. i most $3.00 shoes.

WOODRUFF, OF NEW YORK If there ever was a young man who deserves the plaudits of the colored Americans, it is Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. He is abroad, presenting to the Old World the real status of the colored Americans. Everywhere he has been he has made a strong defense of his people. Not since the days of Frederick Douglass has the colored American's cause been presented as it has been and is being presented to kings, queens and other potentates of the Old World by this distinguished young Southerner. Dr. James E. Shepard is the field superintendent of the International Sunday School Association is making a tour such has never been made before by a man of color. We say this when we take into consideration the ground covered, the scope of the undertaking and the ends accomplished. He went to give the people of the world a different idea of the Negro race in America. He has succeeded, as is evidenced by the large audiences and warm reception that has been accorded him. He visited three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa; delivered two addresses before the London Sunday School Union and was given a reception by them; spoke at Cairo, Egypt, under the American missions, at Kena and Luxor, Egypt, to audiences of Egyptians that flocked to dear him. An Arabic paper published at Beiruit, Syria, has the following in part to say: "We did not know the Negro in America as has been pictured by their able and representative leader, Dr. James E. Shepard. In fact we did not know him before he came, but now we love and respect him. His fame as a speaker and a fearless champion of his race has spread through the Arabic speaking world. He addressed large audiences in Egypt, Palestine and Syria. "The progress of the colored race in America has been marvelous, and though burdened, it is not cast down, but pushing on. Dr. Shepard and men like him who preach the gospel of hope, light and peace, are ever welcomed, and the columns of this magazine stand open to them." Dr. Shepard delivered four addresses in Jerusalem, one before the American colony, one to the Jews and one to visitors and the congregation of the American Church at Jerusalem. He spent twenty days in Palestine studying religious and social conditions of the people; delivered an address at the American College in Beiruit, Syria; from thence he went to Turkey and Greece, and on May 22nd will speak at the World's Sunday School Convention. This convention is the largest of its kind in the world, being composed of representatives from every quarter of the globe. Two ships left America in April 27 filled with white delegates. Dr. Shepard will be the only speaker of color. The Bee never advocates any special honor to men unless worthy, and in the case of Dr. Shepard The Bee would make the suggestion to the leading religious and educational bodies that the services of Dr. Shepard be recognized by them by a fitting and suitable testimonial on his return to the United States next month. The Bee doesn't believe that Dr. Shepard wants it, but whether he does or not, we should honor him for carrying the news afar and telling the world in language unmistakable that all the bad things that have been said about the colored Americans should not be believed. Dr. Shepard has presented the good side of the colored American to foreign countries and it is our duty and the duty of those who appreciate what he has done to show it. Who will take up the suggestion of The Bee and surprise this distinguished and worthy young educator? Start at once. The Bee understands that his second tour abroad will be more extensive than the present one. FIXING THEIR STATUS. The Bee briefly stated in its issue last week that Jim Crowism was indorsed by intelligent and highly cultured colored people. Certain colored people subscribe to separate institutions and organizations. By submitting to such they admit their inferiority. While The Bee heartily indorses a Christian Association among the colored people, it does not indorse an association that recognizes its inferiority to the Young Men's Christian Association that is managed by white men. The association that is managed by white men elects its president and informs who has supervision over the colored association. The colored Christian Association does not know who the president is until after his election. Take, for instance, the present Christian Association that has been running for some time. Since Mr. Rockefeller has decided to contribute twenty-five thousand dollars if the colored association raises another twenty-five thousand, the money having been obtained, what do we see? Why a white man connected with the white association holding the funds; and he will no doubt disburse them. We have ninety-five thousand colored people in this city and not one is found honest enough to hold fifty thousand dollars. There are several hundred intelligent colored men connected with the Annex sufficiently competent to handle these funds, but instead of selecting one, we find Mr. John Joy Edson holding the funds of the colored association, and intelligent colored men have subscribed to this. Every act of this character fixes the status of the colored people. If educated colored men agree to this, what may we expect from the ignorant? The Bee very much regrets this and it hopes that the members of the colored Young Men's Christian Association will fix their own status. "UNSIGNED" OR "AS SUMED" We are sorry to see that few of our exchanges print in their columns from time to time correspondence purporting to come from persons who are too cowardly to sign their own names or are wise enough to know that the signing of their names would so discredit what is written as to condemn it at once to the trash basket, together with the rest of the contents of the papers that print such rot. We have noticed from time to time articles in some few of the papers of this class on public schools, general topics, Howard University, etc., from one "T. S. Twister." We find no such name in the city directory, thus confirming what we say, that this pestilent fellow seeks cheap notoriety by somebody in the back and has not the courage to sign his name, or on the other hand knows his name would mean nothing. Washington is full of just such gutted underlings as this cowardly "Twister," whose feeble pencils ought not to find space in any decent newspaper. These midnight eases under assumed names remind us of the old Ku-Klux Klans that disguised themselves, while they plied their dirty work under cover of darkness. We want to urge this one "Twister" and the rest of his ilk not to play the cowardly cur. Say what you want to say and sign your name. We warn decent papers against such lynch-method correspondence. It is not necessary to warn the intelligent reader how utterly without value and responsibility such articles are. Among the many progressive men connected with the True Reformers is Chief W. R. Griffin of this city, who is at the head of the local Reformers' organization. Tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock the Rose Bud Nursery Department of the True Reformers will celebrate its twentieth anniversary. There will be 1500 children in town. It will be the greatest demonstration in the history of this organization, which has gown to an immense extent since Chief Griffin has been at its head. There is no man connected with organization that deserves any more credit than Chief Griffin. He has been untiring in his efforts to make this organization a success, and has succeeded. He is a busy man in the interest of his organization. He is always doing something to create an interest. This Sunday May day demonstration that is to take place tomorrow is another one of Chief Griffin's great and beneficial enterprises in the True Reformers. There will be thousands of people out to witness this great event, which will go down in history as one of the great benefits that can be found in this organization. The Bee extends its congratulations to Chief Griffin and wishes him great success upon his new departure. He has demonstrated the fact that he is the right man in the right place. A MANLY RETORT The country congratulates Senator J. B. Foraker on his manly reply to those whose selfish ambition has taken control of their better judgment. Senator Foraker's friends were willing to abide by the decision of the Republican leaders in Ohio; but, no, the Admiration wants to crush one of the best men in the country to death. The American people believe in fair play. That is, a majority of them, at any rate. They don't propose to see a good man crushed because others have personal animosity against him. It is the duty of any representative of the people to correct existing evils, or to protect the weak against an unjust and cowardly assault. The President has not acted manly. He has taken the advantage of men who were powerless to protect themselves. Savages, in an uncivilized country, will give their victims some sort of a trial, even if it is not fair. They would hardly then do njustice to meritorious individuals, even in their savage state. The American people are not the most ungrateful in the world. Of course many of them will soon overlook the errors of their rulers, that is when they are of the same political faith. Senator Foraker is fighting a just cause. He knows that he is right, and indeed there are many people in this country who know that he is right. Time alone will establish the justice of his claim. ONLY TWO? The Bee will give President Roosevelt credit for one or two things since he has been President of the United States. One is the appointment of Judge De Lacy of the Juvenile Court, and the other is the reappointment of Commissioner H. L. West. Both of these ap- pointments are highly commendable. Judge De Lacy is a lawyer in deed and in fact. He is one man who knows no person by the color of his skin and neither is he influenced by any creed or religion. He is a father to the juveniles. The colored people in this community look to Mr. West as a man who will give them a square deal. No person is too poor or too black to be admitted to his presence. If there was suffrage in this city today he could get the entire colored vote against any Republican put in the field, although he is a Democrat. AGAINST MR. TAFT. A mass meeting of citizens has been called to convene in True Reformers' Hall next Monday evening to protest against the nomination of Secretary Taft. This will be one of the largest representative meetings ever held by colored Americans. Mr. Taft no doubt regrets his opposition to the colored soldiers. He has committed a fatal error in joining with the President and dismissing those innocent soldiers in disgrace. Mr. Taft sees his error and is no doubt convinced that he will never be elected if nominated, because the entire colored vote of the country is against him. The President may be powerful but the colored vote is more so. All lovers of liberty and fair play are invited to be present at True Reformers' Hall next Monday night; see list of speakers in another column. Ladies are also invited to attend. BISHOP CLINTON'S SPEECH The attempt of Bishop Geo. W. Clinton of the A.M. E. Zion Church to defend the policy of President Roosevelt towards the colored Americans at Galbraith Church last week, was met with a just rebuke by Dr. S. L. Corrothers the fearless advocate of the rights of the colored Americans. Dr. Corrothers has the respect and admiration of the American people, notwithstanding the apologetic speech of the distinguished bishop, which fell flat—cold water, or rather dough. Dr. Corrothers made a manly speech. TAFT DEFEATED. It is quite evident that Mr. Taft has been defeated and the President is responsible. Senator Foraker is in the hearts of the American people, and a crushing rebuke has been administered to the Administration. The Republicans of Ohio are for Senator Foraker, and they will see that no harm is done him. MR. WASHINGTON'S ERROR The appointment of Secretary of War Taft by Prof. Booker T. Washington as one of the trustees of the recent fund placed in Mr. Washington's hands for distribution among the colored people south for educational purposes was a great mistake. Mr. Taft is no friend of the colored people and The Bee feels confident that his appointment is an insult. The Bee has the highest respect for Mr. Washington but his efforts to ingratiate Taft in the good wishes of the colored Americans will not succeed. The President has decided not to become a presidential candidate. Secretary William Taft has been eliminated: There will be no more Taft. Vice-President Fairbanks of Indiana will be a factor in the presidential contest. AT HOME Mrs. Annie Perry of Washington, D. C., returned home last week after a most pleasant stay in the city, the guest of the Campbell's at Doveville. Mrs. Perry was the recipient of many social functions while here, the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Hawkins being the most elaborate. Mrs. Louis L. Brown's cozy home next in turn to do honor to one of the most popular guest the city has had for same time. Mrs. Perry is charming in disposition, congenial and withal a most pleasant personage. Her winsome ways indelibly impressed her graceful personality on those whose honor it was to meet her and long will her memory last in these parts. American tourists who were stopping at the same hotel with Taylor were responsible for his being ordered out. They declared they would leave the place themselves unless the Negro was ordered out. The management accordingly requested Taylor to leave. In an interview Taylor said: "This treatment is in strange contrast with the welcome which the French have always given us before. To avoid a recurrence of any such unpleasant incidents I have decided to seek admission at no other hotel, but to take a home of my own at Neuilly." A TEA. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Sampson, of 426 W. Biddle street, gave a tea on last Sunday evening, in honor of their sister, Mrs. Sadie Powell, and Dr. Beckley, of Washington, D. C. Among those present were Mrs. Dr. L. H. Singleton, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Georgianna Brown, Misses Carrie Douglass, Mollie Hopkins, Harriet Swann and Ella L. Sampson. Messrs. Bradley Garner, Edward Thomas, Winfred Hughes, William Laws and John M. Cole. The colored people might as well come to the conclusion now as later on that the prejudice which is against the Negro is not confined to the Democrats, but a graet deal of it is in the Republican party. The unsettled conditions of politics in Ohio and its relative influence on the vote of the Negro of course stands somewhat complicated at the present time owing to the fact that the Republican National Convention is too far distant to accept any passive conclusion that would tend to throw much light on the final outcome of the convention. Yet it is plausible to conjecture from a temporary point of view of the situation. In order to form a basis of comparison in the technical vitality that controls general opinions of the Negroes that have a right to and can take advantage of the privilege in 1908 for their own protection. Of course the Negro does not desire and could not afford to vote the Democratic ticket, we all heartily admit. And we cannot anticipate that the Administration can succeed in fostering Secretary Taft's nomination at the coming National Convention. But from the view of the convulsed form and conditions so far points toward J. B. Foraker, being very likely Why should we vote for J.B. Foraker? First of all because Foraker has defended the Negro against one of the most hurtful persecutions on the part of the Administrations that ever has been committed, chiefly caused by the common intense prejudice that is always paramount in the South. -The attribution of the defense set up by the venerable Civil War hero should not be construed as any mere ideal or formal pretense, or to share any degree of hypocrisy. It is too well vindicated by the fact that the Senator had a great deal at stake when he championed the cause, offering a just account to the Rate legislation and the Brownsville matter alike. It was a matter of law on the first outset, and the law as construed combining human right and citizenship, equal to all alike. What was this Mr. Foraker had at stake? I will as a man and a gentleman second his duty as a statesman and leader of the party in his capacity. Remembering the oath he took when he became responsible for a great part of the affairs of the Government. "Uncle Sam." Who is "Uncle Sam"? or the Government? It is the people, and for the people, and by the people. That is why. Mr. Foraker is defending the Negro soldiers and the just measures relating to railroads. Not for what Mr. Foraker has articulated, but what he has executaed is the landslide of reason and sentiment fermenting for the Ohioan. Mr. Foraker considers that a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. The rich and the poor lie down together; the Lord is the maker of them all. (Prov. xxii.) The house of Saul pursueth David for he knows the ultimate destiny of his kingdom will fall to David. Therefore they desired to take his life. Foraker takes no spoil. Therefore he will not be accused of disobedience and rebellion. The sin of withcraft and the sin of idolatry like Saul. Amaziah says unto Amos, O, thou seer, go flee thee away unto the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy there, but prophesy not again any more at Bethel, for it is the King's Chapel and the King's Court. But Amos did not leave. Neither will Foraker flee or go into Judah. Though they dig up shall mine hand take them climb up to heaven, then them down. And then themselves in the top of search and take them though they be hid from bottom of the sea, then mand the serpents and them.

At the Baptist Ministers' Union of this city on Monday he made a very pleasing address;spoke in high terms of the school just visited; said they were doing excellent work and helping greatly to break down the barrier of race prejudice. He also spoke of the well-equipped dining-room at Clifton Forge, for the accommodation of colored patrons of the Southern Railroad who are denied any privileges at the Inn or lunch-counters of that little mountai ntown. These young colored men have overcome all that by fitting up a firstclass place in every respect, where one can secure excellent meals at reasonable rates. Rev.

SCOTT GIVEN A FAREWELL On Thursday night, May 16, the members of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church tendered their retiring pastor, Rev. Dr. Oscar J. W. Scott, now chaplam of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A., a farewell reception. Despite the inclement weather, hundreds were drawn to said church to listen to the elaborate program prepared by the untiring efforts of Mrs. Julia West Hamilton. The Hon. W. I. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, the presiding officer, whose modesty, intelligence and magnetic manner, is to be congratulated upon the calm and deliberate way in which he presented the program to the audience. Every speaker had prepared himself for the auspicious occasion. Enthusiasm ran high. Music was frilled by the Metropolitan Choir. Several solos were rendered, among which Master Turner Layton deserves special commendation. His tones were so full and round that it almost seemed like Professor Layton himself. Mr. Toomey delivered an oration on the "Colored Soldier," after which "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung. Miss Mattie R. Bowen, the next speaker on the program, enlivened the occasion with her witty remarks, saying that Dr. Scott stands under two banners—that of the Church, and that of the United States. "Go forth and have success, battle under the banner of Jesus and under the banner of the United States. We that stay back can pray for you. For no soldier is a success unless there is a woman beside him. It is the woman's prayer, and the woman's cheer and the woman's touch that makes the soldier a grand man." Judge Terrrell spoke of the progress that had been made by the race from the depths of slavery to Chaplain of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A. He also paid a glowing tribute to the African Methodist denomination for the important work it has done and is doing in turning out young men prepared to fill such high positions. Miss Emma Patterson made the presentation speech to Mrs. O. J. W. Scott, in which she presented Mrs. Scott, on behalf of the church, with a beautiful gold locket. The response by Mrs. Scott was very effective: "Four years ago I came before you in friendship and love. Few have been our sorrows, great have been our joys. The sorrows we shall lay aside; the joys will last forever. Four years ago I had the honor of introducing to the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Dr. O. J. W. Scott; tonight I have the honor of introducing Chaplain O. J. W. Scott. Tonight ends our career of friendship and love. This little token shall stay be me forever. It is hard to say farewell. We part, perhaps, forever; but it will not be forever, we shall meet beyond the ssea." Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds, made the presentation to Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, on behalf of the church. The presentation was a pair of field glasses. In his address he spoke of the congeniality of Dr. Scott and what pleasant times they had spent together during the past four years, being drawn to him by the enthusiasm he manifested whether in church or in society. Mr. James H. Hayes, an attorney at law, was next introduced. His remarks were short and to the point. In speaking of the greatness that Dr. Scott had achieved he said that he was not going into the army to teach the men religion, but that he was going to teach them manhood. Address by Miss Marie Madre, which expressed sorrow and joy. Sorrow because of the departure of the family; joy because of the honor won. At this point Mr. Vernon briefly sketched the history of the life of Dr. Scot up to the present time, and then introduced Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott to make response, in which he said that it was very hard for him to say anything. Before he finished he had said something. After thanking the members and friends for their kind demonstration and their token of appreciation, he mentioned persons who had been especially kind to him during his pastorate in the city. He spoke also of the rigid examination that he stood for his present position, being examined in twenty-seven studies, after the physical and moral examinations. In the moral examination, after having waited three days for them to pass on his character as a Christian gentleman, he was given 100 per cent. The house broke down with applause. The speaking closed at 12 o'clock. After which a collation was served in the lecture room of the church. The genial and suave Attorney Campbell Carrington, of the local bar, celebrated his forty-fifth birthday anniversary. last Wednesday in a quiet and be- fitting manner. Mr. Carrington, from all appearances, looks like he is only thirty-five. His pleasing smiles and genial manners always command admiration of those who come in contact with him. Mr. Carrington was no doubt one of the happiest, if not the happiest, man in the city last Wednesday. He received the congratulations of a large number of his personal friends, and especially the members of the bar, who always wish him success and much happiness. The Bee extends its congratulations to Mr. Carrington and its wish is that he will continue in the successful and uninterrupted practice of his legal profession. The dedication of the Masonic Hall to Freemasonry took place last Thursday evening at the hall, 1719 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A. F. A. M., of the District.

The roster in this jurisdiction consists of nineteen lodges. TEACHERS' COLLEGE ANNIVERSARY AND RECEPTION TO GRADUATING CLASSES BY DR. AND MRS. L. B. MOORE. Saturday night last occurred the annual class day exercises of the graduating class of Teachers' College, at Howard University. The chapel was filled to overflowing and the class of '07 royally entertained their many friends who had turned out to enjoy with them their last evening as undergraduates. The program was a splendid index to the ability of these young people, and their efforts were applauded to the echo. As delightful as was the program,the audience was treated to a still greater pleasure when on issuing from the chapel at the close of the exercises they poured out onto a campus that seemed transformed into a fairy land. Hundreds of fantastic Japanese lanterns glowed among the leafy branches of the trees, and electric light bulbs were suspended in clusters overhead. From an elevated stand the band discoursed delightful strains of music, while the band itself, amid the circle of light, was yet half hidden behind festoons of class and college colors, among which were woven in bewildering array grotesque lanterns and glittering electric lamps. The doors of Dr. Moore's spacious home were thrown open, and through them passed a continual stream of people in attendance upon the reception tendered by the Dean and Mrs. Moore to the gradauting class. Many were the expressions of regret rom members of the class that this was their last evening "at home" upon the campus. The affair was a brilliant one, and much credit is due those who arranged and managed it. WOMAN'S GUILD OF ST. LUKE'S P. E. CHURCH.

DEALER IN DOOM FOR DERELICTS NEW BRAND OF DESTROYER BUILDING FOR ATLANTIC. Revenue Cutter No. 17 Will Be Assigned to Sink Those Floating Hulks Which Are a Menace to Navigation. Washington.—Cficials of the revenue cutter service are looking forward to the completion of the new dandelier destroyer, revenue cutter 17, with high expectations of her usefulness. She will be the first craft of her kind to become part of the service, and when completed, some time next year, the ability of the "watcadog" branch of the treasury department to cope with dangers and emergencies that now seriously strain the bureau will be largely increased. At present all the work that will fall to the new destroyer must be done, by the revenue cutters, which are neither built nor equipped for such service. When No.17 is launched she will in all probability get a name, for one can hardly imagine a successful launching without a naming, and neither the secretary of the treasury nor the chief of the revenue cutter service would wish to humilitate the new ship by sending her out among her sister ships with no more idea of typifying title than that which is given a convict in the penitentiary or a brick house in a row. As the new destroyer is to be unique in many ways, she will also be assigned to the other cutters in the service. She will have a steaming radius of 5,000 miles without stopping to coal, will be provisioned for much longer cruises than she will ever be likely to make, and will be equipped with powerful derricks, the most improved life-saving apparatus and with a magazine in which will be high explosives in sufficient quantities to blow half the battle ships in the world out of the sea. The gunpowder and dynamite, however, will not be spent to destroy life, but to save it. The ships that she will attack are those that have outlived their usefulness and have passed from the service of civilization to the class of human enemies. The half-sunken derelicts that float silently up and down and across the paths of commerce, claiming as victims the finest ships, with their crowds and passengers, will be the prey of No. 17, and no mercy will be shown when these mysterious foes are found. It is expected that in lifesaving work the new revenue cutter will prove as valuable as in the more sensational and noisy pursuit of derelicts. Her field of operations will be comparatively restricted, with Nova Scotia on the north, the Bahamas on the south and the mid-Atlantic on the east. Her duty will be to keep the paths of ocean commerce clear, and the field is large enough to occupy all the time of her swift engines. The other side of the ocean will be patrolled by the ships of Great Britain or the powers of the continent. When storms along the seaboard imperil passenger ships or there is other work cut out for lifesavers, revenue cutter 17 will be summoned by wireless if she is at sea, and by land wire if in port, and will hasten to the scene. That she will give a good account of herself in every emergency the revenue cutter officials feel certain, and are concerned now only in expediting the construction of the sadly needed ship. LORDS BUY 2,000 PRAIRIE DOGS. Britishers, Seeking Sport, to Stock Hunting Preserves with Them. Huron, S. D.—Two thousand prairie dogs at three dollars each at shipping point have been contracted for by English lords who have exterminated the rabbits and hares on their shooting preserves in England and are languishing for sport. Mrs. Nellie Madden, of Waukon, Wis., having contracted to supply this number of the dogs, has withdrawn her farm north of this city from the market, believing its value has enhanced immeasurably by the demand for prairie dogs, with which it is overrun. It is believed the English noblemen have bucked up against another Yankee game, and that the character of the prairie dogs has been misrepresented to them. The animals are the size of an overgrown rat, live in communities, their holes connected with outlets every rod or two. They are spry enough to arouse the sporting blood of the British, but when wounded drop into their holes or if dead their fellows quickly drag them in. It is mere pot-hunting to shoot them, but to entrap 2,000 of them will afford a nice problem for the vendors. Pulp Mill Creates Town. Washington.—An English concern which obtained a concession of 2,000 square miles of land at Grand Falls, New Foundland, for the purpose of developing the pulpmaking industry has surveyed a town site and has platted off streets, squares and areas for churches, schools and public buildings, erected houses for the staff and employees, built two miles of railway and besides has made other improvements, among which is the construction of a new dam. An American expert has prepared the plans for the installation of a pulp mill and 800 or 900 men will be employed in the construction of the buildings and dam. It will be about three years before the output of pulp and paper will be placed on the market. TRAINING WAR HORSES EQUINE ARMY RECRULTS CAREFULLY PREPARED. Great French Cavalry School at Saumur Where Man and Charger Are Put Through Thorough Course of Lessons. New York.—It rarely occurs to the average person what an important part the horse plays in the economy of war, for without well-trained, trustworthy horses even the magnificent cavalry and artillery of France and Germany would collapse, and the whole war machine come to a full stop. Thus it it little wonder that France spends $1,100,000 a year on her troop horses, Germany $970,000, and Great Britain $400,000. The great military nations, too, maintain state breeding establishments, as well they may, seeing that on a war footing Imperial Germany is supposed to put 201,100 horses on the battlefield, France 202,040, Austria 105,196, Great Britain 100,000, and Russia the enormous number of 548,400. The czar's vast Aslatic dominions yield an inexhaustible supply of hardy animals for the imperial army.' Very interesting are those great establishments of the military powers where horse and man are trained as a fighting unit under the direct supervision of the general staff. This training of horse and man is seen in all its perfection in the great French cavalry school at Saumur, which was founded in the eighteenth century. Hither come all the smart young, lieutenants from the great military school at St. Cyr, to learn equitation and horse training, as well as veterinary work, shoeling, saddle making and military telegraph. Here you will find a whole hierarchy of riding instructors, captain-professors, jockeys, and trainers, and the scene in the great practice ground is vastly picturesque, especially when officers and men of the Mohammedan North African regiments are in training with their horses. Work begins before dawn by the light of great electric arcs, and the younger horses are broken to every Teaching Cavalry Horses to Swim. kind of trick, while carefully confined between to padded columns. You will see gay dragoons and hussars galloping, leaping hürdles, hitting the Turk's head, mounting and dismounting at full speed. Or here will be recruits trying to maintain their seat without bridle or stirrups, while the riding master flicks the horse with his whip, causing him to send the exhausted cavalryman high up in the air, as if shot by a living catapult. Through no less than 112 separate lessons does the French cavalryman go before he is thought fit to get upon his horse. Meanwhile, the charger's education is also under way. He is taught to swim rivers, for the time may come when all the bridges will have been destroyed in an enemy's country, and victory or defeat may depend upon the swimming ability of the cavalry horse. The war horse of to-day must be indifferent to all sorts of startling reports, from the crack of a service revolver to the dread roar of parked artillery. Some of them take the flash and report very quietly even at first, and pass on to more severe trials. Others are very timid and require much patient and gentle treatment before they are broken. At last, however, a 15-pounder might be fired almost over their back and they would hardly flinch. After this they are taught to face fire, that is, to gallop fearlessly up to a line of infantry blazing away with their rifles. Curiously enough, many of the horses that would face guns firing-black powder a few years back will now shy and grow terrified at flash and roar not accompanied by smoke. There is something pathetic about the education of these faithful creatures. The most intelligent among them are selected for scouting work and develop a sagacity almost human. On the slightest whisper they will lie down and entirely conceal their rider or turn themselves into a living shield for him as he lies prostrate behind, with his carbine barrel resting upon their flank. Years ago the mortality among horses in actual warfare was terrible. In the Franco-German conflict at least 55,000 horses were killed, while in Napoleon's campaign beyond the Niemen 65,000 out of 80,000 were either killed outright in battle or else succumbed to wounds and sickness. Great attention, however, is paid nowadays to wounded horses on the battlefield, and the veterinary surgeons go in search of fallen animals, for whom, as for the ordinary soldiers, there are ambulances and hospitals replete with electrical appliances, operating tables, and every device that modern science can suggest. BLIND KEY OPERATOR TELEGRAPHER KEeps FAMILY BY HIS SKILL. Left Without a Father at Age of 12 He Learns to Send Out and Receive Messages and Becomes Carmil, Ill.—Died since birth, Gilbert McDonald, probably the most wordful telegrapher in the world, lives at Maunie, a le village on the Louisville & Nas. le railroad, and earns a living for his widowed mother and three sisters. He is perhaps the only blind telegraph operator in the world, and can practice at the key with as much dexterity as one not minus his eyes. McDonald is 25 years old and has been a telegraph operator about ten years. Not until recently, though, has he been recognized by the railroad and given permanent employment. He is now assistant operator at Maunie and also has charge of the Western Union Telegraph company's office. Left without a father at the age of 12, the blind lad was forced to assist his mother in making a living. He was greatly handicapped by the loss of his eyesight, and many neighbors sought to contribute to him through charitable motives. But the lad would have none of it, and worked at whatever he could find to do. He sold papers on the streets, blacked shoes and ran errands. He finally drifted to the depot, and a strong attachment grew between John W. Foster, agent at the little station, and the blind lad. For hours the boy would sit and listen at the busy clickety-click of the wire. One day Foster asked him if he would like to learn telegraphy. The reply was affirmative and the boy went to work. In less than a month he could send, and in less than half a year he was a marvel at the key. Each day he would copy messages and take them home at night. There his sisters would teach him their meaning. He soon became proficient on the typewriter and could take the fastest message that went over the wire with ease. Persisting in this unique schooling, the boy learned the meaning of over 2,000 words, knowing the spelling and proper use of each. He in time learned to make change, sell tickets and weigh baggage. He became an object of interest to railroad men, and the agent at Maunie employed him to assist him with his work. One day when the agent was away the fast St. Louis mall and express flyer stopped at the station. Superintendent J. W. Logsdon stepped off and ran into the depot. He looked on in wonder as the blind boy sold tickets, made change and answered questions as well apparently as one with eyes. As soon as Mr. Logsdon returned home he interested the railroad officials in the blind boy and McDonald was accordingly sent to the state blind school at Jacksonville. While there he distinguished himself by rapid progress. He remained but a few months and returned to work at his post at Maunle. McDonald is one of the speediest operators in the west. When the Shawnetown flood threatened to submerge the town last January he was ordered to assist the Western Union operator in handling press specials. The sender has to read the copy to "Gib," as the railroad men call him, and he gets it on the wire almost as fast as it is read. Revulsion Against Clean Shaven Faces Now Growing. London.—Notwithstanding the example of the American whisker taxers and their admirers here, it is contended that a revulsion against a clean shaven face is gradually growing among fashionable Londoners. An observer claims to have noticed a tendency on the part of the gilded youth of club land and the stock exchange to grow "nice little curly beards, which give them quite a poetical appearance." A fashionable hairdresser in Bond street said beards are slowly but certainly coming into favor among the young men desiring to be fashionable. They have found beards, especially fair ones, harmonize excellently with a sunburned skin. The most fashionable cut is a close chopped beard parted in the middle, which gives a distinguished appearance. The Russians, and latterly some Americans, affect it considerably. This Is Why You Cough. Vienna.—Heinrich Albrecht, professor of pathological anatomy in the University of Vienna, has discovered a cough bacillus. From this bacillus the professor has produced a serum which, when injected into rabbits, causes acute inflammation of the heart, thus showing why it is that influenza exerts so injurious an effect upon the human heart. Physicians believe that Prof. Albrecht's discovery will prove exceedingly valuable in improving the serum treatment of influenza and coughs. Many Camels Named Roosevelt. Washington.-W. W. Newell and E. S. Truesdale of Broome county, New York, who have been recently traveling in Europe and Africa and elsewhere, were among the president's visitors recently. They told the president that he was the best-known man in the world and that in Egypt they found at least 10,000 camels named after him. B. H. --- F-737 Put Your Money in Diamonds.

New York.—A century ago London was noted for its coaling inns. Today but one remains in London proper to recall the genius of coaching parties that assembled in the comfortable parlors for an evening of pleasure. George's inn, the last of these famous taverns where the nobility of England gathered in years gone by, was probably the most popular that lined the roadways of the English capital. It was through his association with the people who frequented George's inn that Charles Dickens began to attract widespread attention as a novelist and ```markdown ``` George's Inn, London. writer. More than three score years ago he was a familiar figure when revelry held sway in the now antiquated tavern. Here it was that Mr. Dickens met Mr. Pickwick and the various characters he immortalized in "Pickwick Papers" and bounded at once into popular favor as a humorist and close student of character. The attractiveness of the old inn is still maintained at a high standard, and it is to-day a favorite stopping place for travelers and coaching parties. Nothing has been removed from the place to dim the memories of the past. The same old-fashioned chairs, benches, tables and furniture are there that were in use a century ago, and the decorations have never been altered. Ownership has remained with the same family for many generations, and it is said the present owner is a direct descendant of the man who originally opened it. AN AUTHORITY ON FISHES. Milwaukeean Presented with Cross of Legion of Honor. Millwaukee, Wis.-Edward P. Allis, Jr., an American who has been given the cross of the French Legion of Honor, is a Millwaukee man. He is one of the few Americans to be thus honored for scientific work. Several Americans have been given the cross for their labors in literature or diplomacy. Mr. Allis is honored for his work in the study of fish life. His scientific labors have made him known among scientists generally. For the past 18 years he has lived at Mentone, France, where he 20 E. P. ALLIS, JR. has pursued his researches. His particular branch of work has been fish, organism. At his own expense Mr. Allis publishes a quarterly magazine at Boston devoted to morphology. The magazine is conducted at a loss, but is regarded as an authority. Mr. Allis is now on the point of publishing his researches, as a text book for advanced workers. The cost of the plates deterred English, French and American publishers, but a German publisher has been found who is willing to undertake the work. Depended on Circumstances. Edwin Markham said of child labor at a dinner in New York: "And where we have a fair child labor law it is too often made null through the lies that the children's parents make them tell.

DUELS IN GERMANY MORE THAN 3,000 CONTESTS DUR- ING YEAR OF 1906. Nulsance Knows No Bounds in Universities in That Country—Students Slightly Injured About Face Try to Retain Scars. Berlin.—Baroness Von Eschlinger, young and romantic, was courted by a student in the University of Luebingen, but before consenting to be his wife she exacted as a condition that prior to the wedding day he must fight a duel and get a scarred face. Among the students in the German universities the duelling nuisance knows no bounds and is increasing at such a rate that alarm has begun to be felt by the university authorities, but the difficulty of distinguishing between duels carried out as sport and those in satisfaction of honor is very great. It is computed that in 1906 more than 3,000 duels were fought. Students only slightly wounded in the face take care to rub vinegar or some other irritant into the wound that the scar may retain a fine, bright red color. There is nothing the ordinary student is prouder of than these facial adornments. A number of German aristocrats, with Prince Lowenstein and Count Erbach at their head, have resolved to begin a systematic agitation against duelling among university students and in the army. They are promised the support of two of the most influential of the rulers of Germany, the king of Saxony and the grand duke of South Germany. Although recent edicts of Emperor William have done much to stop duelling in the army, it is well known that the practice still flourishes and that the newspapers mention only a very small proportion of the duels which actually are fought. The emperor's real opinion of duelling has often been discussed. Officially he is opposed to it and more than once has issued a decree against it, but the impression prevails that in his heart he approves of it as a manly and knightly way of settling points of honor among soldiers, especially where the honor of an officer's wife or daughter is concerned. With a word the emperor could stop the practice, but this word he has not yet uttered. The empress is a stern opponent of duelling from the point of view of religion, and her hatred of it is shared by every Roman Catholic ruler in Germany. Red Cans for Kansas. St. Louis.-Kansans have always been noted for doing curious things, but the story to the effect that Gov. Hoch has signed a bill requiring the use of red cans for gasoline reaches the lovely limit. The law makes it unlawful for dealers to sell gasoline in any but red receptacles, and is entitled, so the correspondent of Automobile Topics states, "An act to protect hired girls and absent-minded men." Chicago Gets Famous Gun. El Paso, Tex.-James M. Guthrie of Chicago has departed for his home after spending some time at Alamagordo. He took with him the rife that Geronimo, the famous Apache leader, used in his fight against Gen. Crook in Arizona. The gun was in the possession of an old regular army veteran, and Mr. Guthrie purchased it for the Field museum of Chicago. Company Carrying on Extensive Experiments in Upper Michigan. Marquette, Mich.—With the purpose of eventually bringing about the reforestation of the pine barrens of upper Michigan the Cleveland Cliffs iron company is carrying on extensive experiments. It has established nurseries in Negaume and Alger counties at which pine trees are being raised from seed and the plan has thus far been attended with entire success. White pine trees grown from seed are ready for transplanting two years after sprouting. Ninety thousand of these tender sprigs are ready for this purpose now, and they are being set out on cut-over lands near Coalwood. A considerable quantity of seed was planted last year. More will go into the ground this spring, including 50 pounds received a few days ago from Denmark, and this process will be repeated annually for an indefinite time. Forty years, it is estimated, are required for a white pine tree to attain such size as to make it profitable to market. Another interesting experiment to be conducted by the company is the culture of the southern cottonwood on northern Michigan lands. It is believed that this timber would be ideal for pulpwood. FRENCH PRIESTS EARN LIVING. Forced by the Separation Act to Support Selves in Business. Paris.-The separation act, which deprived the French Roman Catholic clergy of official position and stipends, has led many to adopt curious forms of co-operation, with a view to earning their living in Paris. The priests have formed a syndicate, the chief object of which is to procure coal and provisions at wholesale prices. There is also a federation of clerics who do manual labor. Many priests who are capable gardeners and carpenters find employment from Roman Catholles through this federation. Its members undertake to copy the celebrated Socialist division of the day by giving eight hours to manual work, eight to clerical and eight to rest. In the department of Cher priests have formed a beekeepers' association and make as a yearly income from the sale of honey about $150, almost as much as their former stipends. Long Fast Cures Disease. Webster City, la.—Mrs. Harriett M. Closz, a beautiful and prominent society woman, has just tasted food for the first time in 45 days. She entered the voluntary fast to cure herself of rheumatism, which had crippled her. Her first breakfast was made up of orange juice. Though she had gone without food for so long she was able to answer the telephone, and inform friends of her condition. She says the pain and swelling in her legs are almost gone. She believes dieting can completely cure many diseases. $35,000 for Girl's Lost Leg. New York.—A verdict of $35,000, the largest on record for such an injury, was given Miss Margaret Noakes against the New York Central railroad the other day before" Justice Hendrick by a jury in the supreme court. Miss Noakes, a girl of 20 years, sued the railroad company for $50,000 damages for the loss of her left leg. A Central locomotive ran down the automobile on which she was in June, 1904. CROMWELL KEEPS INN BEARS STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO MAN WHO RULED ENGLAND. London.—When a famous old English hostelry changed hands the other day considerable interest was aroused by the announcement that the new landlord's name was Oliver Cromwell, and that he claimed to be a lineal descendant of the protector. It was added, moreover, that he bore quite a striking resemblance to a statue of the great man outside Westminster hall, and that all these statements are true I am able to testify as the result of a visit which I have just paid to the modern Oliver Cromwell. It is in the ancient town of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, about 30 miles out of London, that he has just established himself as landlord of the Red Lion hotel. The building, said to be about 200 years old, stands in the main street of the qualt village, and with a huge red lion over the porch still presents the appearance of a typical old English coaching house. It is owned by Lord Carrington, and that famous parliamentarian, Benjamin Disraeli, made his first speech from the doorstep of the hotel. It was like most of those which followed it, a famous speech. Disraeli said that his opponents stood on his acres, "but I," said the future prime minister of England, "stand on my head." The crowd cheered the sentiment, but not all of them for one threw a rotten egg which solled the speaker's satin vest. Disraeli wiped the contents of the egg from his dress and threw them on the floor, remarking, "There will my opponent be when the poll is declared." [Illustration of a man with a long beard and mustache, wearing a suit and tie.] It may be noted, by way of parenthesis, that despite his caustic oratory, Disraeli was defeated in this attempt to gain a seat in parliament as a radical from High Wycombe. The new proprietor of the "Red Lion," who is now having the limelight of publicity turned upon him because of his likeness in name and features to the great protector, does not appear fully to appreciate the interest attaching to his alleged ancestry. When I asked him to give me some account of his genealogical tree he remarked: "I have never bothered myself much about it. Some 30 years ago when Thomas Carlyle was writing his life of Cromwell he sent a man to inquire regarding my pedigree. All I could say definitely was that my grandfather's name was Oliver Cromwell. Of course, he wasn't the great Oliver, for he lived some 250 years ago, but my grandfather's family lived in Surrey—I myself was born at Erham in Surrey—and members of the protector's family are said to have settled in Surrey. "Some time after Carlyle's man had interviewed me I received a note from the great historian informing me that I was undoubtedly a lineal descendant of Oliver the Great. I never had any genealogical diagram or explanation of the connection, and my claim or belief is based principally upon this assurance of Carlyle's. As I say, the matter never bothered me much, fo. I don't know what advantage it would be to me to prove my descent if it were possible. No, I don't know whether Carlyle mentioned me in his book or not, for I never read it. "Last October," Oliver Cromwell continued, I received a letter from a Mrs. Melvina Warham Brewster of Houston, Tex., regarding the Cromwell family. Here is part of her letter: "My grandfather, Oliver Cromwell of Charleston, S. C., who died in 1812, was the third of his line from the emigration to America after the restoration. To-day the last of the name is Lewis Cromwell of Elkhart Mines, Md." Whether Oliver Cromwell of High Wycombe is or is not a lineal descendant of that remarkable man who ruled England for five years as protector, he has emulated the deed of his alleged ancestor by disposing of the King's Head. At one time the new landlord of the "Red Lion" while in the building trade, was entrusted with the reconstruction of the famous "King's Head" inn near the Guildhall in London. He rebuilt the hostelry; the "King's Head" disappeared and it was said of him by everybody in the Old Jewry, that twice in the history of England had Oliver Cromwell disposed of the King's Head. DOG RACING, IN MICHIGAN. Every Boy in the Upper Peninsula Owns a Team of Dogs. Calumet, Mich.—One of the most popular forms of winter entertainment in the upper peninsular of Michigan is dog racing. Several of these kind of derbies are held every winter. Ski tournaments are frequent, but they do not overshadow the dog races. At Nagaunee the annual dog race was held not very long ago, and was witnessed by thousands of people. The warm sun of the morning softened the surface of the street, putting it in bad condition. By the time the races were over it is doubtful if the mothers of the youngsters who drove the dogs could have recognized them, as they were completely covered with mud. All of the boys wore masks at the start, but when the race grew Typical Dog Team and Load. warm they tossed them' aside to enable them to see better. There were 19 entries, all of whom appeared in several heats, and most of the races were close. All the runs were down the grades on either end of Iron street, but in spite of this fact the smaller dogs had difficulty in getting over the course. There were numerous fights, particularly at the starting points, and occasionally two or more dogs would get into a mix-up midway down the street or just before reaching the tape. No more amusing sight can be imagined than a dog race. Usually at the start there is trouble. At the word "go" some of the dogs get into a fight and require the immediate attention of their drivers. The more peaceably inclined get away during the altercations of their opponents, and thus obtain a commanding lead. There is a great overturning and bumpling when the rushing mass of dogs cross a railroad track or ditch. The handling of the dogs and sleighs at these points is most skillfully done and causes great merriment among the spectators. Dog teams are very common in Northern Michigan, and there is a scare in a town where there is not from 100 to 200 dog teams owned by boys who find them very useful. In some cases these outfits prove a source of considerable income to the owners, who use them for hauling wood, etc. FEDERAL EMPLOYES ORGANIZE. Form Cooperative Store at Washington to Reduce Expenses. Washington. The first cooperative experiment ever tried in the nation's capital is an attempt by the 35,000 government employees of Washington to reduce the excessive cost of living by organizing a cooperative department store. A preliminary organization has been formed and plans are now being perfected. The cooperative societies of England and Australia are to be models. The army and navy and the civil service cooperative societies of London have attained worldwide reputation for their success, and a special com A. B. DR. A. PATTON. (President of Government Employees' Co-operative Concern.) mittee is now in communication with their managers to get details. During the past ten years the cost of living in Washington has increased from 17 to 25 per cent. while the salaries of government employees have remained stationary. The consequence is that government employees are praying for panic times. They say if this terrible prosperity continues they will be ground into the earth. The plan for the new store is to sell the goods at current market rates, and then to return the profit to members. Ten per cent. will be set aside as a sinking fund to improve the store. An experienced man will be chosen for manager and will be paid a good salary. At the first general meeting, Dr. A. Patton, of the treasury department, was chosen president of the society. The vice president is G. W. W. Hanger, of the department of commerce and labor, while other prominent officials held other important places.

In the death of Charles Henry Pe- ters this city has lost one of its oldest inhabitants as well as one of its most highly respected citizens. Mr. Peters was born in Georgetown, D. C, Decem- ber 23, 1834, and died May 14, 1907, at a ripe age of 72 years 4 months and 2 days. He had resided here continuously from the day of his birth until his death. Mr. Peters was educated in the pay school of this city, after which he took up a plasterers’ trade and learned every part of ‘it under Mr. Barker, the leading mechanic at his business ‘in his time. While working at his trade and quite a young man he connected him- self with the Fifteenth Street Presby- terian Church. He was so popular that almost immediately he was elected to the office of superintendent of the Sun- day school. While superintendent he inaugurated what was called.a Sunday school reunion, an affair in which ev- ery Sunday school in this city partici- pated. This reunion, which was so successful, brought him véry promi- nently before the people, and as an appreciation they elected him first to the City Council, the nto the House of Representatives and Commissioner of Board of Improvements, which office he held until this city changed its form of government. When the Civil Wat broke out he enlisted, but was detailed at the Commissary Office of the War Department to issue supplies. Wher the government changed its form he was given a clerkship in the Censu: Office, which position he resigned tc . accept a more lucrative one as turnkey at the United States Jail, which posi- tion he held with honor and dignity for seventeen years. Mr. Peters married his present wife who was Miss Lulie’ Brown, who wa: born near his own birthplace, in George town. Mr. ¢Pters had held with honoy every position in the Fifteenth Stree Presbyterian Church. His pastor, th members and officers will greatly mourr his loss.

He was born in Balti- raore, ,Mu., June 8 1849. At an carly age he came to Washington, enlisted in the United States Navy in 1877, and served oat three terms with honorable discharges in each. He performed faith. ful services on the United States ships Saratoga and Wyandotte, as cabin stew- ard, which ended in 1855.

ZION CONFERENCE. appointments at Closing Session, There were a few disappointments at the closing session of the A. M. E, Zion Conference last Monday. Rev, P. A Wallace was sent out of the city, when he thought that he would be returned. There was great opposition to Rev.Wal- lace by Mrs. Davis and others. Rev. Wallace got the enmity of this lady and her friends when he opposed the Dun- bar Literary Association and the Eman- cipation Day exercises. Mrs. Davis had built up a strong association in the church, but Rev. Wallace forced het out. This is one of the causes of Rev. ‘Wallaces failure to return. Rev.
