Sincerely yours, Henry B. Macfarland. Chase, Esq. N. W., Washington, D. C. if the Washington Asylum. Wington, D. C., June 19, 1907. B. F. Macfarland. spectfully present the following upon a criticism made in charging that partiality is the Superintendent of the in the distribution of prised to work. I respectfully the Superintendent has never drawn the color line, ever had the desire to do so. that there is less complaint the colored men because similar work to which they d, than there is among prisoners to work I have things in mind. First, place with the least risk of injury, his fitness for certain suitable work. Third, his Fourth; some con- venient to a man's record, on a novice and a chronic between a prisoner who like, and another who may give trouble. In all the color line should not enter. Having trades are usually the painter, carpenter, engin- ker, tailor, or cook, as the case those who can milk, drive, etc., are turned over to the dairyman. Men who are assigned to work prison corridors are either such been excused by the doctor from outdoor work because of some they may be long term it is not safe to trust in the gangs. We now have more than persons who are serving 6 months isoners working on the farm, and the buildings number from 130 to 180 and are about equally divided between the white and colored. The street is working in the suburbs, under the cancer Department, vary in size, acting to our population, from 100 to 100 men, the colored men predominat- In considering the situation, it should be observed that we have many more colored than white prisoners. Our population today is 316, of whom 123 are white and 233 are colored. About 35 per cent are white and 65 per cent are colored. Taking the male prisoners, we have today 115 white and 164 colored men. I would be glad to have a representative of The Bee call at the workhouse and see for himself how the prisoners employed. MR. CHASE'S REPLY. Washington, D. C., June 25, 1907. H H B.F. Macfarland, Commissioner of the District of Col- umbia. very kind communication, en- gaging a report of the investigation by the superintendent of the Wash- in Asylum relative to the discrimin- ation that exists in the convict labor that was received a few days ago. Kelly permit me to say that the con- dition that I made in The Bee of a post date is correct. Discrimination exists, and if you will send a repre- sentation of your department on Four- street extended you will see two loads of colored convicts coming to work and not a white man in the house. Do not understand me to say that you are aware of the discrimination and neither do I say that the superin- dent of the asylum knows of such discrimination. What I want to know is why should colored convicts be exped to public view and hauled through the public streets in wagons, and white convicts allowed to remain in and around the workhouse where the eyes of the public seldom penetrate. Believing that you will treat all off- ders alike, and presuming that you would aware of such discrimination I take the opportunity of calling your attention to it. With assurance of my high esteen, believe me to be NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES. The eighth annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Topeka, Kansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14, 15 and 16, 1907. The Central Passenger Association is just preparing notice of its arrangement of a one and one-third round trip rate to be joined by the other passenger associations of the country fro the coming meeting of the League. Mr. E. P. Booze of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is arranging to secure a special car with a party of about twenty-five representative people of his section to attend the coming meeting of the League. Mr. F. D. Pattrson, fourth vice-president of the National League, and manager of the carriage building firm of C. R. Patterson & Sons, Greenfield, Ohio, is taking an active part in increasing the influence of the organization in the State of Ohio. A large number of delegates from this section will likely attend the Topeka session of the League than at any previous meeting. A unique feature of the coming meeting will be the presence, from the Business Course Department of Western University, Prof. Albert Ross, director, of a number of Negro young men and women stenographers and typewriters, trained in this school, who are to be located in the convention hall, ready to take dictation for such business men who would want to correspond with their families or friends in this way during their stay in Topeka. The League will be tendered a grand picnic at the magnificent pleasure resort "Vinewood," about six miles from the city. On the evening of President Booker T. Washington's annual address, the meeting will be held in the auditorium—a large assembly hall seating four thousand five hundred persons. The League banquet, to be served by one of the leading caterers of the State, will also be held in the auditorium. The Topeka Choral Club of over half a hundred voices will entertain the visitors with their engaging musical renditions during the sessions. Special selections are being rehearsed. All the citizens of Topeka are assisting in every way possible to make the meeting of the League a great success. The state and city officials are co-operating with the Negro Business League officers in preparation for the visitors and a hearty welcome on all hands awaits the delegates and friends. Among those who will formally welcome the league attendants are Hon. E. W. Hoch, Governor of the State, Mayor William Green, and Hon. C. K. Holiday. The latter will represent the Commercial Club of Topeka. The committee on Home and Location have arranged for all visitors and League members to be taken care of at an average rate of $1.00 per day for board. There will be no attempt to hold up the delegates on this item. The officers of the Topeka League have just issued a special invitation to all members of the National League and their friends, urging them to attend the meeting and assuring them a profitable and interesting stay in Kansas. Detailed information along any line and especially as to accommodations can be furnished by Mr. Ira C. Guy, vice-president of the National Negro Business League, 311 West 14th street, Topeka, Kansas. CORDIAL GREETING RECEIVED AT XENIA, WHERE CITIZENS DEMAND IMPROMPTU SPEECH Xenia, O., June 20.—in the presence of the leading clergymen and educators of the African Methodist Episcopal Church this afternoon, at Wilberforce College, United States Senator J. B. Foraker entered somewhat fully into the discussion of the matters developed by the Senatorial investigation of the Brownsville shooting, for which a battalion of Negro soldiers was summarily discharged from the army without honor by President Roosevelt. The occasion was the forty-fourth annual commencement of the Wilberforce College, the leading educational institution of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is located just outside the limits of the city. One of the notable incidents of the day was the presentation to Senator Foraker of a loving cup by Negro citizens of Cincinnati. The Rev. Dr. Burch, assisted by the Rev. Dr. J. Franklin Walker, made the presentation speech, to which Senator Foraker eloquently replied. A large delegation of leading Negro citizens went to Wilberforce as a committee bearing the gift.

If He Is to Be Eliminated from Public Life for His Part in Securing the Men a Hearing, as, Has Been Threatened, He Declares that He Will Never Regret His Action—Great Crowd Hears Him.. Political Equality Should Be War Cry. FORAKER HAS NO REGRETS. "I do not question the good faith of the President or of the Secretary of War; but when I looked at the reports of Major Blocksom and General Garrington, and the testimony submitted therewith, upon which the President acted, I felt that, whether it was intentional or not, he had been misled. If for what I have done in their behalf (tne [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. [Image of a man in formal attire with a bow tie and a badge on his lapel]. SENATOR I. B. FORAK colored troops) I am to commute from public life, as has been proclaimed, then let it be known that I shall at least carry with me into private life the consoling sensation of feeling and knowing that I have been rebuked for an action that I shall never regret, but always esteem as creditable to my heart as mankind to my sense of justice and duty as a public official." Special to The Washington Post. Xenia, Ohio, June 20.—"Stand up for your rights and make everybody else stand up for them. Let your ballots read: 'Down with the grandfathers' clause,' and 'Down with every man who upholds, condemns, or defends them, no matter where he lives, what politics he professes, or what office he holds.'" This most striking passage from the address delivered today by Senator J. B. Foraker at the commencement exercises of the Willberforce University is in reality the keynote of the argument which he made to the more than sympathetic audience who listened with rapt attention to his words. What he said regarding the Brownville incident was but an incident in a general advisory recommendation to the colored race to make resistance to any and all invasions of its allied rights. No Room for Truce. There was no mistaking the character of the advice. Bluntly, it was to support no man politically who was not in sympathy with the demand of the colored race for equality before the Constitution and the law. Moreover, this sympathy must be a lively one. There was to be no trace with those who condored the nullification of the Constitution or the law by others. Through his denial that the federal government had made out a case against the colored troops at Brownsville, and by making the charge that they had not been given fair treatment by President Roosevelt, and (inferentially, by Secretary William H. Taft, he made it clear to his delighted auditors that he was not one of those who were lacking in support of the doctrine that the Afro-American is a political equal.

All persons suffering from tuberculosis in advanced stages will not be permitted to enter the State of Texas. The National Training and Industrial School for colored boys and girls, to be located in the District of Columbia, with an agricultural or farm school in Maryland, conveniently near to the city, is fair to be launched under the most variable auspices, perhaps, of any similar school which has ever been started in the United States. The movement seems to have taken hold of the community in a way that no other similar venture has done in recent years, due to the importance and great need of the school and the strong endorsements which it has received from the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, the president of the local Board of Trade, president of the Chamber of Commerce, the leading pastors of various denominations, and prominent citizens generally. A great mass-meeting will be held at Convention Hall, Fourth and K streets northwest, on Sunday afternoon next, June 30, 1907, at 3:30 p.clock, in the interest of the school. The program arranged is an intensely interesting one from every point of view; the famous United States Marine Band and the popular Amphion Glee Club will furnish music for the occasion. The distinguished jurist, Justice David J. Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, will preside. Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland, Dr. W. M. D. Norman, Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Dr. George W. Lee, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton and others will speak; a number of prominent ministers and business men if the city will also make brief remarks. This program, together with the merit of the proposed school, will undoubtedly insure a large attendance. Admission to the meeting will be free to all, both ladies and gentlemen. Rev. G. S. Lankins, who has been promoting the enterprise, is very much gratified by the hearty support and encouragement he is receiving on all sides. The ministers of all denominations have been invited to be present, as the school is to be undenominational. The Baptist Ministers' Conference of the District of Columbia voted on Monday to attend the mass meeting at Convention Hall at 3:30 next Sunday afternoon. Dr. George W. Lee, Dr. M. W. D. Norman and Dr. William J. Howard were appointed to represent them. Admission to the meeting will be free to all, both ladies and gentlemen. COSMOPOLITAN TEMPLE BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the close of the service Dr. Drew presented to Miss Frances Little a gold watch as the winner of the first prize at a recent entertainment for selling the highest number of tickets. She brought in $35.10. It was a timely speech.

The inaugural meeting of the Liberian National Bar Association was held in the Senate Chamber, Monrovia, January 2, 1997. Mr. T. McCant Stewart, formerly of America, was the first man to urge the organization of a bar association of lawyers from all parts of the republic. It was at a "common law" luncheon, given to the Bench and Bar of the Court of Quarter Sessions and Common Pleas for Montserrado County, at its last September term, T. McCant Stewart delivered an address, in the course of which he urged that as a matter of the organization of a bar association has been under consideration for years, it should be taken up and disposed of during the legislative session, when lawyers from all parts of the republic would be in Monrovia. At the close of the term, His Honor Judge Matthews called a meeting of the members of his bar, and the immediate organization of an association was decided upon. The following committee was appointed to draft a constitution: Attorney General F. E. R. Johnson, Ex-Attorney General T. W. Haynes, M. T. McCant Stewart, County Attorney C. D. B. King and C. B. Dunbar. A constitution and by-laws were drafted and adopted Wednesday. January 2, 1997, in the Senate Chamber. His Honor Judge A. J. Matthews presided and introduced the President of Liberia, who delivered the opening address. It was eloquent and pointed and was listened to with great attention. The next speaker was that distinguished and fearless defender of the rights of the Liberian people. R. E. R. Johnson, who was elected president. He made a tintely speech. Mr. Johnson is well known in America as the man who defended the republic of Liberia against the cowardly attack that C. H. J. Taylor, while minister here, made against his people. He is attorney general of the republic and a man who is honored and respected by the people. He dedicated this defense of the republic to W. Calvin Chase, in the following language: DEDICATED W. CALVIN CHASE Editor of the Washington Bee, who so ably exposed this false pretender, and laid bare all his imperfections; who is known and respected in Liberia as the only man in America who has dared to refute the false aid malicious assertions circulated by him concerning Liberia. President Johnson said in part: Your Honor and members of the association: Called by your unanimous vote to the important and responsible position of President of the National Bar Association of Liberia for the ensuing year, I deem it my duty on this occasion to express my appreciation of the honor which you have conferred on me and to assure you that I shall do all in my power to aid in effectually accomplishing the task so which we have set ourselves, feeling confident that I will receive your cordial support and hearty co-operation. It is the arm of the judiciary in the administration of justice which is the great end of all governments, and by which the strong are prevented from oppressing the weak. Without this there can be no security, tranquility or industry. Defending the innocent from oppression, it also lends its aid to the prosecution of evil doers, the punishment of the guilty and the repression of crime. He made some telling points throughout the delivery of his address and at its conclusion he was loudly applauded. Addresses were also made by Hom. J. A. Toliver, Chief Justice Roberts, and others. After the address a brilliant reception was held in the Executive Mansion, which was attended by many distinguished people of the republic. AUDITOR TYLER Ralph W.

Dagan, of | Keats, Kan., a young army recruit /Who enlisted In Kansas City and left With a squad of recruits for Jefferson barracks, near St. Louis, is probably the: shortest soldier in the United States army, His helght is five feet two Inches. He was accepted only on the recommendation of President Roosevelt, to whom he wrote explain- ing the situation after he had been re- dected on account of his hefght at the suxillary recruiting station at Topeka early tn April. Dagan had entertained the hope of becoming a soldier for a number of years. He is now 22 and having no one dependent upon him, he went to the recruiting station to enter the service. He passed a rigid examina- ‘tlon save for his height, but the news that for this reason he could not be- come a soldier did not deter him. He had .decided to become, one, and Promptly wrote to President Roose- velt explaining the situation, He made -an earnest appeal to the chief executive, and the frank, earnest man- ner in which he couched his plea Seemed to strike the president as that of a man who would make a good sol- der. This is probably the first instance of an acceptance of an application for enlistment in the army when a dis- crepancy of two inches in the required helght existed. The minimum height, as stipulated by the war department, is five feet four Inches, Dagan is of almost perfect bulld, Welghs 150 pounds and has a five-inch chest expansion. He expressed a de- sire to enlist in the cavalry and be sent to the Philippines. At Jeffersén barracks he will be assigned to a regi- ment of cavalry under orders or pre- paring for orilers for Philippine ser- vice. DOES NOT FEAR GREAT WEALTH, Justice Brewer Sees Growth of Spirit of Humanity in Amertca. New York.—“I do not view with alarm the accumulation of wealth, be- cause I believe that the spirit of hu- manity and the sense of responsibil: ity is growing among us,” said Justice Brewer, of the United States supreme court, the other day, in discussing the future of the country. “I wish the next 50 years were be- fore me,” said the justice, “that I might witness and participate in their events, for the coming half century is to be a marvelous period of history. Great inventions will be made, re markable discoveries will be brought to ght, civilization will advance, hu- manity will pzogress, and I believe that our nation will approach nearer the blessings of peace, of comfort and of happiness. * “The greatest hope for the future of the American nation fs the develop: ment of its conscience. I\think the spirit of religion is growing stronger —the religion of the Golden Rule and the good Samaritan. . “I look forward Yo the day when every man, woman and child In these United States’shall have the bless: ings of physical comfort, the happl- ness of plenty; when there shall be no dire poverty and want.” BETS HERSELF ON A RACE. St. Louis Girl Will Marry Owner of Horse If He wins Cupid Handicap. St. Louls, Mo.—Miss Helen Burs, of 2024 Fair avenue has bet herself on /a horse race, : «Laws against bookmaking didn’t bother Miss Burs and Frank Grimes when they put’ their wager, as_ re: markable a one as the turf ever saw, into writing and had it witnessed be fore a notary public. | The great Cupid handicap will be run at Priester's, park, near Belleville, on the afternoon of July 1.

Washington —Luke E, Wright, Unit ed States ambassador to Japan, has forwarded to the state department de- talls of the cooperative agreement be- tween the Japanese and Korean gov. ernments outlining a plan for the use of forests in the Yalu and Tumen val: Jeys. The plan is similar in many ways to the methods of. the United States in developing the national for- ests of this country under the admin- istration of the forest service. The decision of the Japanese gov- erniafat to apply methods of forestry to the use of the forests of Korea Is given especial attention because it Ig sald that the matter of a large timber cuncession by Russia to a corporation was one of the ulterlor causes of the declaratioz of war between the two countries. Before Korea came under the rule of Japan its timber resources were being rapidly depleted by waste- ful lumbering. Japan's plan for the management of the timber lands of Korea ts to estab- lish fn the next five or six years nine model forests in the neighborhood of the cities of Seoul, Pingyang and Taku. The capital for this enterprise {s about $600,090, one-half of which ig to be furnished by the Korean govern- ment. - _ Co ‘A: HIGH-DEGREE- 90 : , bya ¥ : 4 LJ Lod vt satisfachua _ « rare thing in A | al q west $3.04 shoes.

WOODRUFF, OF NEW YORK ASSISTANT REGISTER ADAMS. The editorial on Assistant Register Adams in the Bee last week was to a large extent based on bearsay evidence, which in the light of later information was given out for the purpose of injuring Mr. Adams, rather than presenting an accurate statement of the case. The Bee has thoroughly investigated the matter and is now able to present the real facts in the matter. About eighteen months ago there appeared, in the daily papers of Washington an unsigned notice inviting all persons interested in stamp collecting to meet and form a philatelic society. There were about thirty persons present at this meeting, and Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, who had been an ardent philatelist for twenty-five years, was one of the number. He was well-known to many of those present, and took an active part in the organization of the Washington Philatelic Society, and was of course a charter member. In view of his long career as a philatelist and his expert knowledge of the science, which were known to a number of the collectors, he was elected president of the society. There was no race question involved—it was simply an organization bound together by the enthusiasm of its members for philatelic research. It is now evident that the whole controversy has been stirred up by a Southerner who was exceedingly angry when he learned that the Philatelic Society had a colored president. He gave false information to the correspondents of several daily papers throughout the country, and to several colored men who spread the reports abroad without investigating the matter. These news-carriers endeavored to prove that Mr. Adams had black-balled a Mr. William H. Wilkerson, who applied for membership in the Philatelic Society, by stating that his rejection was unanimous, and therefore Mr. Adams must have voted for him. This is false. The records do not show that the rejection was unanimous. Mr. J. Finney Engle, the secretary of the Philatelic Society, in a written statement which The Bee has seen, says that the vote on Mr. Wilkerson was not unanimous for rejection—a number of ballots were cast in his favor. And Secretary Engle further says that as the vote was by ballot he can not state how any member voted, but at President, Cyrus Field Adams, favored the admission of Mr. Wilkerson, he believes that Mr. Adams voted for him. Mr. Adams declares most emphatically that he cast his ballot for Mr. Wilkerson—that ought to settle the matter. . Now the charge that Mr. Adams is "masquerading as a white man": that is scarcely worth consideration. He makes his home at a colored man's house and his active interest in the leading colored organizations of the country is enough to prove that there is no masquerade. No man in the country has written stronger articles in defense of the race than Mr. Adams; as the editor of the Chicago Appeal he has made a name for himself as race champion. As we write we have before us one of the recent issues of The Appeal, which contains an entire seven-column page of as strong race editorials as ever appeared in any Negro paper in the United States. Mr. Adams has always been generous in his contributions to race enterprises, and has given both of his time and money in loyal efforts to uplift the masses of the people. The statement given out that the editor The Bee headed a movement to injure Mr. Adams is a life, pure and simple. The editor of The Bee has not inspired any such movement, and a careful investigation fails to discover the existence of any movement against Mr. Adams. The story given to the press by the Southerner fell flat in Washington; it created no excitement whatever. The Bee has known Mr. Adams for more than twenty years and has always admired him for his ability and moral worth. He has made an efficient public official, a man who says little, but works hard, and is in every way worthy of the esteem and confidence of his fellow-men. We are pleased that the indisputable evidence completely vindicates Mr. Adams of the false charges made against him. THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE When Prof. Booker T. Washington organized the Negro Business League, little was it presumed that it would have reached such magnitude in this country. This organization is doing more to stimulate business interest among the colored people than any institution that has been established in recent years. In politics the Negro is a political failure. He has never learned the use of the ballot. He has allowed himself to follow blindly the leadership of certain men and parties to his own detriment. He has allowed himself to be eliminated because bad white men, South, have been elected to office who have ruined the business interests of the community. Today the colored Americans South have no political standing or face, even among those whose interests they have advocated. The Business League, therefore, has been a school to colored Americans. Instead of colored Americans losing sleepless nights and days, receiving broken bones and cracked heads, they are now accumulating wealth, getting property and making themselves good citizens. When the white man is made to feel that he colored business man has something he wants, he will seek him. When the colored man places himself in that position in the body politic he is recognized as a good citizen. Whatever may have been the past blunders of Professor Washington, whatever may have been his mistakes, let us be charitable and give him credit for the good that he is doing now. While he is doing some good, let The Bee make this friendly suggestion to him: The colored Americans will not support President Roosevelt for the Presidency or any man named by him, and if Prof. Washington cares for the good will and support of the people he should not tell them to be patient and support the President or Secretary Taft. Secretary Taft has blundered and he knows it. He no doubt realizes the blunders he has made in followlng the instructions of his Chief Executive. Secretary Taft may be such a man as Professor Washington would have the colored Americans to believe that he is, but how can we forgive him for what he has done to pur brave soldiers? The Bee is always pleased to support Prof. Washington when it believes that he is right, but it cannot see where he is right on the Taft question. Let us, therefore, make the business league a business factor in the body politic. Let the league take the place of past political blunders made by colored Americans. Then and not until then can they hope to be what the distinguished educator would have them be. From the business league notes that appear in The Bee this week, the citizens of Topeka, Kansas, white and colored, intend to make the meeting of the league a great success. It will no doubt be the greatest and most successful meeting that has even been held yet. The Bee wishes it success. EDITOR FORTUNE. EDITOR FORTUNE. Editor T. Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age, is one journalist in this country for whom The Bee has the most profound admiration and respect. The Bee admires Editor Fortune because he is honest, no matter what his faults are or may have been or his after-change of opinions. He has always defended the cause of his people in his own peculiar way and has changed politics to do it. The Bee reproduces' Editor Fortunes leading editorial on Secretary Taft and the editor of The Bee, because we believe in fairplay. That is, The Bee wants its readers to read both sides. Now, if Miss Jeanes requested Secretary Taft to be one of the trustees of the fund left to educate the Southern colored youths, neither The Bee nor any one else has anything to do with it. Hence The Bee's criticism of Secretary Taft's appointment by Mr. Washington was unfair and The Bee stands corrected by the editor of the Age. But Miss Jeanes committed a blunder in her bequest in naming Mr. Taft one of the trustees. Editor Fortune asks the question, relative to the dismissal of the colored troops and the position in which Secretary Taft was placed, "Would William Calvin Chase have stood by his chief or resigned from the Cabinet?" Because the chief of William Calvin Chase sees h—l and enters, is it any reason that he, William Calvin Chase, should enter also, Editor Fortune? If the editor of The Bee was subjected to Editorial domination of Editor Fortune and Editor Fortune commits a wrong that will destroy him, should Editor Chase go to destruction also? Yes, had Secretary Taft been Editor Chase and Editor Chase Secretary Taft, Editor Chase would have resigned from the Cabinet and told his chief that he would have to travel to h—l alone. Because Senator Foraker has made is hot as the infernal regions for both since the fatal order of dismissal, and the end is not yet. ODD FELLOWS' DISSENSION. We have noticed that there is a great fight going on among the Odd Fellows in Alabama. We have been creditably informed that, underlying this trouble, there are things connected with this great confusion not very complimentary to the S. C. of W. We are informed that this fight was precipitated by a decision rendered last January which disregarded the rights of the officers in power to be heard, according to the laws laid down. Governing a trial in case of an appeal to the S. C. of W., we desire to say if the S. C. of W. did as it is charged, it has certainly given dissatisfaction. Such conduct would have the appearance of partisan action. Now, if these contentions are true, who could blame the people for not submitting to a decision that disregarded their side, according to the laws? This is said to be the leading district under the American jurisdiction, paying more revenue into the SupremeTreasury than any other district. We are also informed that Alabama has one of the cheapest and best endowment systems in existence among the Odd Fellows of America, and pays more money to their widows and or- majority of the lodges. The lodges refuse to leave the men of their choice. This seems to us should convince the S. C. of W. that it has been mistaken or misled. The Bee is for the right and will stand for truth and justice. We think that the poor people are being persecuted by the ruling class or governing class in that section of the country. You will hear more from us as we shall put ourselves to some trouble in the future to learn what the matter is. We shall give it to the public just as we learn the facts, straightforward and truthfully. But we reserve the right to make such comments as we feel justified in the premises. THE CHAIN GANG Some time ago. The Bee called the attention of the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia to the seeming discrimination that was being made at the workhouse between the white and colored prisoners who were sent from the police court to that institution. Notwithstanding the report that the superintendent of the workhouse has made to the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia, which appears in this week's issue of The Bee, the editor of this paper has seen wagon loads of workhouse convicts, all colored men, going to work upon the public streets. There is not a white convict to be seen in these wagons. Not a white convict is to be seen with the colored convicts upon any of these public works. The Bee doesn't contend that the Honorable Commissioners would be party to such discrimination, and neither does The Bee contend that the superintendent of the Washington Asylum is aware that all colored convicts are compelled to expose themselves while white convicts are kept in and around the Washington Asylum. While the superintendent denies it in his report to the Commissioners, it is nevertheless a fact. The understrappers at the asylum, who make this discrimination without the knowledge of either the superintendent or the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. The Bee contends that the vile and vicious convicts, both white and colored should be made to work or the delinquent husband and the wifebeater. However, The Bee is pleased that the Honorable Commissioners have received report from the superintendent, but if they will make a personal inspection they will be convinced that no wagon load of white convicts is seen drawn through the public streets to be conveyed to public works, such as digging down hills, embankments, etc. CAPTAIN OYSTER. The Bee on behalf of the citizens of Washington extends its gratitude to Capt. James F. Oyster for making a record of the position of music instructor held by Prof. J. T. Layton. There is no teacher in the public schools more competent that Prof. J. T. Layton. He won his position by merit alone and not by favoritism, as the records in two competitive examinations will show. In two cases, after he had won, others were appointed over him. There has been too much color prejudice in our schools. Prof. Layton cannot help being black. His color has nothing to do with his musical ability. Thank God Captain Oyster and many other white members of the Board of Education have no color prejudice, as The Bee has long ago stated. In speaking of Prof. Layton, Commissioners West and Macfarland and others say that he is one of the best musical directors in the city. Prof. Layton has directed the largest choruses of any director of music that has ever been in the public schools. The citizens of Washington love him. The patrons of our public schools believe in him. His name is a household word in huts and hovels and palaces. No man has won a greater record than he has. He stands today pre-eminent in the estimation of musical people. There has been a conspiracy against Prof. Layton for years and every time it takes life the hand of God kills it. In this conspiracy are people who boast of their bastardy, and not their birth. The people want more men on the Board of Education like Captain Oyster. They believe in him. He can be trusted and relied on. Capt. Oyster, the people thank you, and at some future day an evidence of their gratitude will be manifested. AN OBJECT LESSON. The Bee desires to call to the attention of the colored members of the bar of the District of Columbia a report from the wilds of Africa, otherwise Monrovia, Liberia, where a National Bar Association has been organized. In this black republic our former townsman, Mr. T. McCant Stewart, suggested the propriety of organizing a bar association. This was done at a luncheon. The colored members of the bar in this city have been growing fat from luncheons given to them and at each luncheon a bar association was organized or suggested. The last and the best function given was by Attorney Thomas L. Jones, at his magnificent residence about two years ago. This function was fit for the gods, from which a Negro bar association was born. It was "still born." The brains of the guests were intoxicated with determination and promises. A bar association was just the thing. This was the unanimous opinion and expression. It has never met since and it will hardly meet again until there is another function. Then the members will again organize. Here at the Capital of the greatest republic in the world, where intelligence is supposed to be photographed upon the forehead, of tramps, a bar association among colored lawyers is a thing of the past and foreign to the memory of the (Negro) legal profession. But away in Africa, where civilization is growing and where intelligence is today on par with American civilization, so far as the American Negroes are concerned, there has been a Negro bar association organized. The Bee congratulates its old friend, T. McCant Stewart, and its learned and distinguished friend, the Hon. F. E. R. Johnson, the attorney general of Liberia and president of the bar association of the republic. This is an object lesson to the local members of the bar. ADMIRAL BAIRD. The statement of Admiral Baird, president of the Board of Education, before that body at its last meeting last week, relative to the withdrawal of the charges by the principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School against one of his teachers was the correct view. If the teacher in question is unfit for his school as he stated in his charges, the teacher should not be transferred to another school. If the teacher is guilty of what he has been charged, the Board of Education should remove him. Every opportunity was given the accused teacher to make the "amende honorable," but of the prejudiced feeling of certain colored members of the Board against the principal of the Armstrong, every effort has been made to blacken the reputation of the principal and exonerate the accused teacher. The Bee as well as the people will be pleased to see this matter investigated and disposed of one way or the other. Admiral Baird is an honorable and upright gentleman who believes in fair play for everyone. It is unfortunate that the principal should withdraw the charges without first consulting the president of the Board of Education and Dr. Chancellor. REV. WHITE. For the benefit of Rev. White, who does not seem to know the feeling of the colored people against the Administration, The Bee begs to inform him. Every sane negro in the United States is against the President and his Secretary of War. Any negro who is for either is a fit subject for St. Elizabeth. When the President dismissed those colored troops he knew just what he was doing. He was catering to a Southern rebel sentiment. Now that he has been mistaken, as Rev. White phans. As we understand in whole system was organized the administration which the S. of W. is trying to oust, and who still controls the affairs for a admits, and if the Executive was to do the fair act, why doesn't President reinstate those discharged soldiers? Has Rev White a other old folks' bill that he was Mr. Roosevelt to recommend Congress? For the benefit of Rev White, who doesn't seem to be informed, we will state that per cent of the colored people this country will oppose am named by President Roosevelt Eery honest and intelligent co- voter, Rev. White. is against President and Mr. Taft. Carv news. The Bee publishes via communication because it may be your poor folks' home. bosses and other praces where more demanded'it. At no time, under the administration or that of Messy Rounds, Palmer and Ricketts was any colored employee removed because he was-colored. What do we see under the present Administration of the Government Printing Office? We see the only competent colored pressman appointed by Mr. Ricketts or Mr. Palmer, removed from his position. His colored help was first removed; then the colored pressman was removed. We also see the wives ex-Union colored soldiers removed. We see colored widows with five and five children removed. There are not over ten colored wives the Government Printing Office. We ask the question. What is mean? This Administration did more harm to the color Americans than the two Democratic administration of President Ulysses land. The colored Americans have a duty to perform, and they should perform it well. ONLY ONE THERE From the administration of the D. Defries to the time that Hax Oscar P. Ricketts retired from the Government Printing Office we there so much prejudice and discrimination against the colored employees as there is now? Never before in the history of that office the colored employee been treated with such little respect and consideration as they are now Where the Public Urinter is aware the condition of affairs in his office is far as the colored employees are concerned as there is now Hax Thomas Benedict, a Democrat Public Printer under Mr Gawland's administration, never ignite a man by the color of his skin.

OFFICE OF THE EPWORTH LEAGUE, ATLANTA GA Irvine Garland Penn, Assistant Secretary. June 19, 1907 I am glad to bear testimony in the character and ability of Re B L. Parks, D.D., whom I have known for twelve years, as one of the most scholarly man I have had to work as well as one of the best education I have known in all of my experience. While he was professor of systems theology in Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Ga., he was in the satisfaction of every man and woman of our race who knew anything about his work among us, and in his interest in us. We were all pleased with Dr Parks because his interest in the race was of a permanent and substantial kind. He seems to me that the race can all afford to be without Dr. Parks, especially since he is so fully prepared in experience and desires to serve his country and his Master through the uplift of the Negro. While he is now in a great field, yet it is my earnest prayer that he may some day be called back in some work that has to do with the preparation of our young men and women for service in life. I have never put my hand to tribute of any brother with more genuine satisfaction and joy than I do to this of Dr. Parks.

At an important meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Howard University, in the office of President. Thirkield, yesterday, the resignation of Dr. F. W. Fairfield, for more than twenty years dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was presented and accepted. Dr. Fairfield has been placed upon the Carnegie Foundation and granted a liberal allowance for the remainder of his life, in view of his extended and efficient services in the interests of higher education. The Board unanimously elected as his successor in the professorship the Rev. Dr. Edward L. Parks, an educator of long experience and distinction. An honored graduate of the Northwestern University, for seven years he was an instructor in that institution, which has accorded him its highest honors. Called to the presidency of Simpson College, in Iowa, he raised and paid a crushing debt, broadened and enriched the courses of study, increased the faculty and more than doubled the attendance of students in the six years of his presidency. He was then called to a professorship in Gammon Theological Seminary at Atlanta, where he served for fourteen years, winning the confidence and esteem of all students under his charge. President Thirkield said that "there is no man who has worked in the South who has won the entire con- fidence of the Negro race more thoroughly than Dr. Parks by his scholarship and his devotion to the larger interests of the people. As an educator he stands among the foremost of his age, and he will bring great strength to the university. The office of dean was not filled, as the Executive Committee had not power to take up this matter. The resignation of Professor W. P. Hay, who has been appointed head of the department of biology and chemistry of the Washington High Schools, and head teacher in the Western High School, was accepted. Dr. W. V. Tunnell, who recently accepted the position of the Supervisor of the Colored Public Shcools, has resigned from this position and will resume his work as professor of history in the college, on full consideration preferring to remain at Howard University. Mr. Walter S.

We take great pleasure in presenting to the readers of The Bee the cut and sketch of the remarkable career of Mr. E. G. Davis, the Collector of Taxes for the District of Columbia, who is one of the best-known and one of the most valuable and highly respected officials of the District government. Mr. Davis was appointed to the position of Collector of Taxes during the first adminiinstation of ex-President Cleveland, and has held the position continuously since. There is not another official connected with the District government who has won more friends than Mr. Davis, whose efforts have always been to make those about him comfortable, and to accommodate all citizens, and the public in general. On more occasions than we have time and space to mention, Mr. Davis has performed commendable acts for poor and unfortunate people, both white and colored. He is a man who never stoops to small things, and his treatment from a business standpoint is the same to the most humble in life as it is to the highest and most dittinguished citizens. There are hundreds of citizenens in the District of Columbia of all classes who know and appreciate the worth of Mr. Davis, and who would speak of him in the highest terms were the opportunity to present itself. The Personal Tax Law, which was passed by Congress a few years ago, has proven so tedious for many citizens to understand, the consequence of which being that so many allowed said taxes to become overdue, is one among many other things connected with his office that Mr. Davis has always taken a special delight and interest in adjusting to the best of his ability, so far as the law allows. No one ever applies to him for information J. B. MR. E. G. DAVIS, COLLECTOR OF TAXES. without receiving same, if it be in his power to render such. There have been many commendable and worthy acts performed by Mr. Davis of which the public knows nothing. He is a man who always refrains from notoriety. During the many years that Mr. Davis has been Collector of Taxes, many millions of dollars have passed through his hands for the District government, and he has always proven himself to be one of the most valuable wheels in the District government. Mr. Davis is a native of Maryland, and comes from one of the most aristocratic families in the State. He is a great fraternal and church worker, and is one of the highest Masons in the District of Columbia. He has on many occasions helped the churches and other religious institutions with liberal contributions, which hae aided their work. Mr. Davis has a corps of assistants whose efficient records cannot be excelled. Mr. Charles W. Collins, the Deputy Collector, who is another qualified and accomplished gentleman, and a native of the District of Columbia, renders very valuable assistance to Mr. Davis. Mr. David Warner, the bookkeeper, who has been connected with the office for more than thirty two years, is another whose official service to Mr. Davis and the office is recognized and appreciated, and also Mr. Davis' entire force of clerks and assistants are worthy of mention, all of whom highly respect him and are very fond of their chief, Mr. E. G. Davis. The writer consideres it an honorable pleasure to have the opportunity of contributing to the columns of The Bee the above cut and sketch of the honorable career of Mr. E. Davis, who has done more for the District and public than is really known.

The athletic carnival brought 10,000 people at the opening of Washington Park Grove yesterday afternoon. The carnival consisted of running races, pole vault and an exhibition of wall-scaling by Company I, First Regiment, N. G. P, who tied for the record of the Military Athletic League, coming within two seconds of the record held by the Twenty-second Regiment, of New York. The track events were especially interesting. In th 100-yard dash Ward, of the Aquinas Catholic Club, came through the crowd in the last ten yards, winning from Hammon by two inches, with Rossita third, a foot behind. In the half-mile Nash was a great disappointment, as he was picked for a sure winner, but the handicaps were too much for him. Gunn, of Pennsylvania, took this event in good style, and from the form he showed should make some of the older men hustle at the Artisans' meet on June 8. The 220-yards was probably the most interesting race of the day. The pace was fast from start to finish. Sutton started out as though he were running the 100. Dancy, of Penn, kept at his heels, while Nash, the Indian, followed with a worried look two yards behind. At the third turn, Nash pulled up and passed. Dancy stuck to him, but Sutton found the pace too warm and dropped behind. In the stretch Dancy spurted and touched the tape a foot ahead of Nash, with Sutton coming in for the bronze medal. BRILLIANT. From the Nashville Globe. Mr. George O. Boyd and Miss Anna Marie Tate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William O. Tate, were married at the home of the bride's parents, 320 Eighth avenue North, at 7.30 o'clock Wednesday evening, June 12. Rev. W. S. Ellington, the popular clergyman, and pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiated. Mr. George O. Boyd is a native of San Antonio, Texas, where he was reared and received his early training, both educationally, and as a printer. From his native home he went forth into the larger field of the world's busy activities, winning his way steadily upward in his chosen profession. Resigning the head of the printing department of Guadaloupe College, Seguin, Texas, he came to Nashville, where he is now connected with the National Baptist Publishing House, as one of its expert linotype operators. He is one of the most rapid and accurate operators of the linotype machine, that wonderful invention of the printers' art—almost humanlike in its workings—in this country. Mr. Boyd has also other business connections in the TRUE REFORMERS' DAY, JUNE 30TH, 1907.—TWO GREAT MEETINGS. 1,000 members wanted before August 1st, at $3.00 each, after which time the joining fee will be $4.60.

Rosin was. elected president of the new union without a dissenting murmur, and then .the following code was drawn up and adopted: article 1.—Every member of the union must be French. Article 2—Members must refrain from singing or reciting songs or mon ologues against the Republican gov ernment, fts officials, the police and elergy of any religion. Article 3—The duty of a member of the union who finds himself ip a town explotted by sham mendicants or ‘by begzars working under q contractor is to give information to the author! thes. .

Secretary Elihu Root 1s supposed to be one of the best paid attorneys in the United States. When he was sec- retary of war he frequently ‘went horseback riding with General Henry C. Corbin, the adjutant general of the army. Secretary Root never spoke once during their many rides. The silence became embarrassing to Cor- bin, who made many frultless efforts to engage Root in conversation. Be coming desperate after his fallures, Corbin, in speaking of the dilemma, exclaimed: “Why, the man ‘is so’ ac- customed to being paid for talking that I'll be hanged if I believe he will talk unless he Is patd for it. I'll have to pay him a stit fee to hear the sound of his voice.” Club Gets McKinley Portrait. A cony of his Waite House patating of President McKinley has been made for Cornellus N. Bliss by W. D.

' Spokane, Wash.—Anna Larsen-Pe- terson, born of humble parents in Sweden, has become the wife of D. C. Corbin, millionaire railroad builder and sugar manufacturer, president of the Spokane International Rallway company, whose line he built after selling the Spokane Falls & Northern railway to the Great Nortbern Rail- road company. The wedding took place at Mt. Vernon, N. ¥., May 22, and was not made public until the couple arrived in Spokane a few days ago, Mrs. Corbin is 35 years of age, while her husband fs 70. Close friends say It was a love match, Mrs. Corbin's romance reads more like one of Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales than a story of modern life in the active and virlle northwest. The daughter of a small farmer in ‘rural Sweden, as a little girl she dreamed of the future, and before she attained her »majorit} she came to America, WkeéSthany ‘of her country- men and women, to improve her sta- tion In life. After working in various house holds In New England and the middle western states, she came to Spokane 12 years ago and entered the home of D. C.

She gained the friendship of Mrs. Corbin, who assisted the girl with her education, Shortly before Mrs. Corbin died, six years ago, Anna married Antone Pe- terson, at that time Identified with a local hardware firm, but they lived to- gether only a few weeks, and two years afterward the young woman ob- tained 2 divorce at Tacoma. Before her marriage she invested her savings in realty, which she sold profitably, and with the proceeds went to Chicago and placed herself under Instructors, afterward going to Bos- ton and New York, whence she went abroad ‘with a teacher and three other pupils on an educational tour.

Automatic Labor-Saving Device Is the Work of Fourteen-Year-Old. Middleboro, Mass.—One of the most unique displays in the home work de- partment at the recent exhibition giv- en by the pupils of the pfiblic schools was the automatic horse feeder made by Arthur Ripley, a 14-year-old high school student. Visiting teachers and superintendents were much interest- ed in this labor-saving device, and the young electrician was kept busy dur- ing the exhibition explaining his feed- ec and demonstrating its usefulness. It consisted of a large hox with two partitions for the diffvient kinds of grain, the bottom of which ‘was hung on hinges. A lever which held the bottom in position was connected with the alarm gear of a common alarm clock, which was put in a small box on the side of the grain receptacle. The time of the clock in front corre- sponded with the time on the clock in- side the box. - The alarm fs set at the time the horses are to be fed, and the farmer could then go about his other work, and at the proper time the alarm would go off, releasing the lever and dropping the bottom of the box, which allowed the grain to fall into the manger In front of the horse. A small electric light is attached to the upper side of the clock box, which shows the farmer where the box is without a lantern, so that the possibility of set- ting fire to the barn {s averted. Each day the box is filled with grain and the lever adjusted. “Spece” Needed by 100,000, New York.—The board of education has voted to ask the health depart. ment to make an expert examination of the eyes of ail the children in the public schools to find out exactly how many would need glasses. Commis- sioner Stern sald he estimated at least 100,000 children would require spectacles, He declared that “all at- tempts to educate these haff-blind children under present conditions means so much sheer waste of money to New York.” He said the city must provide glasses for the afflicted pupils at once or else regret {ts refusal throughout +1: g.seratica.

London.—One of the most interest- ing “literary shrines” in England, the house in which Dantel Defoe penned the greater part of “Robinson Cru- soe,” is abaut to be. torn down to make way for modern dwellings. This Uttle old-fashioned house, set back from the Finborough road, Tooting, and in striking contrast with the wrdern she s which fank It on either side, is now practically just as it was 219 yea-s azo when Defoe came to it with h’s tamily to begin a strange life of isolaticn.

Over the scullery on’ the second floor fs the little room where Defoe worked over the Mterary mas- terplece which has secured his reputa- tion for all time. This, the smallest room of the 12 which ‘comprise the house, was his sanctuary, and only he Passed {ts portals. Here for whole days he would shut himself from his family, receiving his meals, the meag- er repasts of an impecunious genlus. During the time Defoe lived in this house he was hard beset by creditors. Indeed, four years later, he was de clared a bankrupt and was compelled to secrete himself to escape a term in a debtor’s prison. The Old house js at present occupied by an aged woman and her equally aged husband. For a small fee they show visitors the room where Defoe wrote “Robinson Crusoe.” In recent years the American pilgrims to this Uterary shrine have far‘éutnumbered English callers. + KING OSCAR RESUMES REIGN.

Coghlan has retired from the service and the command of the Brooklyn navy yard. He was succeeded by Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich. Admiral Coghlan's time of service expired several months ago, but owing to important work in hand he was requested to remain at the yard for a time longer. He will live in New York for the present. Admiral Coghlan was with Dewey in the battle of Manila bay and has a splendid naval record. He is noted also as an after dinner speaker. He acquired a rather dubious fame a few T.

Admiral Goodrich is one of the best known officers of the navy, and has held more important positions, perhaps, than any other officer in the service. He has the distinction of being the officer who directed the first shot in the engagements around Santiago de Cuba, and he also fought the last naval engagement of the war with Spain, that in front of Manzanillo. He was appointed to Annapolis from Connecticut in December, 1861. Rear Admiral Coghlan declares if he had his life to go over again he would reenter the United States navy; that it is the finest organization of its kind in the world, and that it holds out greater inducements to the young men of this country than does the navy of any other nation. NEW USE FOR EIFFEL TOWER. Wireless Messages Sent from There Over Long Distance. Paris.—Recent experiments with a wireless telegraph installation on the Eiffel tower gave extraordinary evidence of the great distances covered by the Herzian waves. The operators at the tower were sending a message to Port Vendres, 700 kilometers away, and found to their amazement that the same message was received at Blizerta, 1,425 kilometers away. This is the more remarkable when it is remembered that the Eiffel tower is by no NEW USE FOR EIFFEL TOWER. means a perfect station for long-distance work, and that the receiving instrument at Blizerta was supposed to be capable of receiving only the waves from a comparatively short distance. Melodrama Afloat. An extraordinary state of things has been brought to light at Dunkirk on board the Italian three masted ship Venetia, which arrived from Chilli. She had on board a crew of mixed nationalities, among them being many Germans and Italians, who got on badly together, and the police found on board an Italian who had been for 75 days heavily ironed in such a way that he could scarcely change his position. He now seems half dazed and scarcely able to answer questions coherently. His own statement, so far as it can be grasped, is that after an altercation he took refuge in the captain's cabin, and that the Germans, taking arms, forced the captain to deliver him up to them—London Globe. Left Her Dog With the Police. The guard room at police headquarters is becoming the tethering place for dogs, says the Springfield Union. A handsome collie followed four women down street last evening and as they "just couldn't take time to take him back home," they brought him into police headquarters and asked that he be taken home by a policeman. One of the women, who lives in State street, owns the dog, and she explained that she was on her way to a whist party and couldn't go back home with the dog because she might miss "a couple of hands of whist at the party." The dog remained in the quarters till the woman came after it late last night. Cadet Prince Edward.

Loses Fortune in Litigation—Rise and Fall Due to His Inven- tive Genius. New York.—At one time affluent, Jeremiah Casey, formerly mayor of Edgewater, on the Pallades, the other day was ejected from the home he had bought three years ago and all the possessions he had left in, the world were set out in the street. His wife was so shocked by this latest bitter experience that she collapsed and had to be placed in a doctor's care. Casey's later years have been full of hard luck and litigation. About all the money he once possessed has been spent in lawsuits. His prosperity and adversity are due almost entirely to his inventive genius. Several years ago he invented a nailing machine. The device could take the requisite amount of timber, after it had been sawed to the proper length, and make a box of it as good, if not better, than one made by a carpenter. A company was organized to build the machines and put them in operation. Casey asserts he was not treated properly by the concern. At any rate he lost his interest in the patent and in the company as well. That started a long line of legal proceedings which dragged through many courts and took much money. Casey collected the records of these trials and several hundred pages of scrapbooks were needed to hold them. Back in the days when he was prosperous he bought the old Bayard Cutting homestead on the Pallsades, opposite One Hundred and Tenth street, and went there to live with his family. Instead of being a haven of rest, the place proved to be another source of legal difficulties. He said he had good reason to believe he had paid for more land than he found specified in the deed. More lawsuits were started. Then his taxes, to his mind, were too high for the property, and he refused to pay the assessment. Threat of a sale of the land for taxes brought an adjustment, but the property had only just begun to give trouble. There was a mortgage on it. This, in the course of time, was foreclosed and the property was sold at auction. Dr. M.-S. Ayres became the owner of the Casey home. The doctor took no steps to oust Casey, and it seemed as if unkind fate had decided to give a short respite to the former mayor. A short time ago, however, Dr. Ayers sold the homestead to a manufacturing concern. Desirous of building a new plant, the company asked Casey to get out. He refused, asserting he had a right paramount to thelrs. They did not think so, and constables ejected Casey. Nellie Casey, daughter of the one-time mayor, was a schoolmate of Grace George, and is now a member of Miss George's company. COST OF SHRINERS' WRECK. Southern Pacific Railroad Will Pay Out About $1,180,000. San Francisco.—Accident insurance policies, $200,000. Regular life policies, $320,000. Railroad damage settlements (estimated), $600,000. Damage to train, etc., $60,000. Total, $1,180,000. These figures represent the financial phase of the recent terrible wreck of the Shriners' train at Honda, north of Santa Barbara, in which 32 men and women were killed and 16 badly injured. Inquiries by the railroad officials indicate that many of the Shriners who were killed had accident policies, which contained the usual specifications that the amount be doubled in case of death in a train wreck. One company will have to pay accident losses amounting to about $175,000, and another company about $25,000. It has been ascertained that practically all the Shriners who were killed had left insurance policies in varying amounts in about six or seven companies. The total of these policies approximate $320,000. The Southern Pacific under the law of this state has no defense against claims for damages by those injured and the relatives of those killed. The company has effected some settlements and will settle all the cases as quickly as possible. One of the railroad officials expressed the opinion that the company would get off by settling in the aggregate for $600,000. Under the law of this state, save in the case of contributory negligence, a railroad company practically insures the life of a passenger holding a ticket he has paid for. CAT FALLS FIFTEEN STORIES. Reappears Few Minutes Later at Old Place. Chicago.—This is a story about a cat, the pet of the Midday club, that fell 15 stories in the area way of the First National bank building, and is alive and well. The animal plunged from a window of the millipaires' lunchroom on the eighteenth floor in the big loop skyscraper to the skylight of the bank quarters on the third floor. The heavy wire screening above the glass was bent and twisted by the impact and a few pieces of glass fell to one of the clerks' cages on the floor below, but the cat escaped uninjured. Fifteen minutes after the fall the animal returned to its quarters in the eighteenth floor lunchroom. Choosing probable death down the light shaft in preference to a struggle with a Boston terrier, the animal leaped.. As a group of the lunchers reached the window they heard a crash on the heavy skylight, 15 floors below. All believed the cat had been crushed to death. A quarter of an hour later, while the "horrible death" was being discussed at a score of tables, the frightened cat came back. It slunk toward the kitchen and disappeared. RUNS OSTRICH RANCH MRS. PEARSON MAKES BUSINESS OF RAISING BIG BIRDS. Has Just Started First Farm In Cuba —Feathered Animals Just Big, Healthy Idiots, She New York.—Mrs. Katherine Pearson of Phoenix Ariz., and Havana, Cuba, is not only the ostrich queen of the western hemisphere, but of the world at large. Her ostrich farm near Phoenix is the largest breeding ranch in America, and the farm near Havana on which she has just settled 45 birds is the first of its kind in Cuba. She owns more birds than any other woman ostrich farmer on the face of the earth. "To begin at the beginning of my experience with ostriches I must tell you that my husband first bought a farm and a few birds near Jacksonville, Fla.," said Mrs. Pearson when talking to a reporter. "Mr. Pearson was the manager of the theater on Union square known aa Keith's. "Shortly after our marriage he developed consumption and we had to go south for his health. After a few years, the climate not having proved beneficial, he decided to go to Phoenix. We sold out in Florida and started breeding ostriches on the Phoenix farm with 250 birds. "My husband was becoming more feeble every day. I tried to do my duty, and as a result I learned all the ins and outs in breeding birds and seiling feathers. "Since my husband's death I have increased the Phoenix flock to 980 breeders and the acreage to 2,000, making it the largest breeding farm in America. On the Havana farm there are at present only 27 acres and Ostrich Young Chicks Just Hatched Out. 45 birds. It is only an experiment, and I do not think it wise to get more birds until after these have proved the healthfulness of the climate. "While in Arizona and Florida we never lost a grown bird except through accident. "Ostriches mate when they are about three and one-half years old, and, like pigeons, remain together, entirely faithful, until they die. At least I have been told that they mate for life, and so far as I know it is true, though, as I said before, I never knew one to die a natural death. In case of an accident I have known the wildowed bird to accept a second mate, but not until after several years. "They usually lay two nests of eggs of from 12 to 14 each, and you can count on getting an increase of from 10 to 25 chicks. I have often known a pair of good breeders in a good season to hatch every egg and raise every chick. The ostrich is as senseless an animal as exists. So far as I am able to judge they are absolutely and entirely without brains. "You can teach them nothing, and it makes no difference how long you feed them or how kind you are, they never even get to recognize you. They know their mate, and that is, I believe, as far as their power of recognition goes. "While I have heard the men on the farm say they didn't have sense enough to follow a leader, I have noticed that if a bird in one pen began to run, pretty soon every bird on the farm was running—for no apparent reason, just running. When they are in full feather they make a pretty sight in running, as they hold out their wings, and so show the beautiful plumes underneath. "They do take, pride in their plumage. When they are first plucked they become very sulky and seem to wish to hide themselves. If a plucked bird is turned with the unplucked, they fall on him tooth and nail, and the poor fellow is made to suffer for his loss. "Ostriches are plucked every eight months. I use the work plucked, though the feathers are sedum pulled. When ripe they are cut, and later when the old quills have become perfectly dry they are drawn from the sockets by means of a pair of tweezers. This is not the slightest bit painful to the birds, and there is no blood drawn. "A healthy ostrich, and I never saw a grown bird that was not healthy, will yield from $20 to $50 worth of feathers a year. As year-old birds are now selling in Arizona for $100 apiece for the South African breed, and $50 more for Nublans, you can judge the yearly profits on a pair of good breeders." Rock Carved In Relief of a Greek Ship Discovered by Danish Explorers. New York.—The Royal Academy of Sciences and Letters at, Copenhagen is reaping a rich reward from the expedition it sent in 1902 to Lindos, a small town on the south coast of Rhodes, once a great island home of Greek culture in the Aegan sea. Since the Danes began to dig deep into its soil they have unearthed the larger part of its beautiful Acropolis, a fine temple and ancient stairway of remarkable workmanship and an enormous amount of statuettes, vases and other antiquities. The Acropolis of Lindos was especially rich in the signatures of artists Relief Carving of Ancient Greek Ship. who had beautified it. Before the Danes began their work only 12 of these signatures had been found, but the Danish explorers have added 74 names of men, several of whom made reputations that still survive. The most curious discovery of all is described and pictured in the last report of the society. While the party were excavating along the face of an ancient wall built some 200 years before the Christian era, they came to the edge of a carving in the rock. They followed it eagerly for days before they knew certainly what it represented. Finally they brought the whole carving into view and it proved to be a representation in relief of the stern of an ancient Grecian vessel. A plaster cast made from it is now in the museum at Copenhagen and experts who have seen either the original at Lindos or the cast at Copenhagen say that it is a faithful representation of an ancient ship. The relief is in no respect embellished for decorative effect, but is a reproduction, perhaps on a slightly smaller scale, of the stern of a Greek vessel of the Hellenic epoch. Some of the colns of that time show reliefs of vessels and a considerable number of representations of ships have been discovered. The largest is now in the Palazzo Spada and the resemblance between it and the relief found at Lindos is very striking. The relief, however, has far more detail, and it was a splendidly executed piece of work. On the side of the ship an inscription was cut into the stone showing that the relief was not meant merely as an ornament. It was hewn out of the rock to form the base of a statue in bronze in honor of Hagesandros. The statue has not been found, but the remains of an iron fence erected in front of the relief were unearthed. New Orleans Banker to Become Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Washington.—Pearl Wight of New Orleans, the Republican national committeeman of Louisiana, has accepted COL. PEARL WIGHT. (Southern Man Appointed Internal Revenue Commissioner.) the post of commissioner of internal revenue, to become effective on December 1. Mr. Wight has a number of important business matters which he wants to adjust and settle prior to taking up the duties of the office. Pending his assumption of the work a commissioner ad interim has been appointed by the president. Col. Wight is a product of Maine. Born in South Panobscot, at 16 he entered a dry goods store in Rockland as a clerk, and many there now recall what a green country youth he was. His employers sent him to Oll City, Pa., to manage a branch store. He became a traveling salesman for a flour concern and eventually drifted to New Orleans. There he founded a big supply house in the reconstruction days and invested heavily in vessels and timber lands amassing a large fortune. He has been a prominent figure in Louisiana Republican politics for years and is the state's national committeeman. Member of Sherman's Staff Dead. Dr. Dana W. Hartshorn 80 years old, of Cincinnati, former dean of the Pulte Homeopathic Medical college, who was major surgeon on General Sherman's stal during the civil war, has just died.

The decision of Judge Alexander Mullowny, of the United States branch of the Police Court, last week declar- jng unconstitutional the so-called chick- ‘en law, was a just one. Some time ago Congress enacted a law ‘compelling citizens to obtain a permit before they could keep chickens ‘and other fowls. The citizen was compelled to obtain the signatures of seventy-five percent. of the male residents within one hun- dred feet of his residence. Judge Mul- Jowncy has decided that Congress has no right to enact such a law, Good for Judge Mullowney! It would be a good thing if otlier judges would render a Fey just decisions. REV. WHITE TOADYS. Mr. Editor: Wali you please give space for 2 few comments to correct some mistaken cir- ailating rumors? We find from the press,and from these would-be leaders that the colored people” of, the United States have lost confidence in the great Executive and the Secretary of War I believe that it is my duty to state 10 the public that the majority of in- telligent colored people of the country have the same confidence in the Presi- dem as they“ had when he nominated Cram and-stood by his nomination. He Wwas acting them upon the recommenda- tion of the citizens that his man was worthy of the position. When he is- sued an order to muster out dishonor- ably “the colored soldiers he did it through the reconimendation of those “who had charge of*those men. We will agree that it was a mistake to send out om the public one hundred and sixty men branded as midmght mutderers.but the President was misled by the inform- ation from the officers of the army, and 1 will state such utterances and such teiticisms upon the Exccutive are dan- gerous for the -confidence of the col- cored people of the country has been shaken in the state govrenment. To destroy that confidence now in the na- sional government and cause them to believe that the great chief of the na- thon and the Sccretary of War would discriminate against any citizen on ac, count of his coler would cause the col- oted people soon to become a gang of highway robbers and midnight murder- ers, Therefore these self-constituted Icad- ers who are criticising the President rougher than ImWwould a chief of police are not representing all of the intelli- _gent colored people. Tt is true that we heartily endorse the efforts of.the Committce on Military Affairs in their efforts to give to the country the facts with reference to these soldiers, If they are guilty of midnight murders they ought to be today chained and in prison, ceils instead of having citizeits’ clothes on among good citi- zens, The Committee on Military Affairs differs with the President on great sub- jects. A few years-ago the President ,avd the Secreary of War sent to the Committee on Military Affairs a fav~ orable recommendation presented by the late Senator Hoar to appropriate two usndred thousand dollars to build a . home.in honor of deceased colored sol- diets out of moncy due to their estate amd fifty thousand dollary for the edu/ cation of the colored youth in the Wil- berforce University of Okio. The Pres- ident sent these measures with his fav- orable recommendation, but the Com- mittee on Military Affairs found them- selves too busy to conshler the meas- wre, notwithstanding it was favotably recommended by the War Department and the President. I feel safe in say- ing that there are not two men in public life who wotlld do the colored people a favor of would give niore time to con- sider measures in which they were in- aerestedl than the President and the Secretary of War. .

Before and about him were thousands of col- ored people of both sexes, or as many as could crowd the canvas.

Again, men and women could be seen swaying’ forward ‘and back under the stress of strong emotion. The depth of feeling that engrossed this audience could readily be observed from the nat- ural expressions given to it. When the name of Secretary of War William H. Taft fell from his lips, there followed a chorus of low, snarling growls from the men and high staccato shrieks from the women, interspersed with peals of mocking laughter, Senator Foraker commenced his speech by referring to his last visit to Wilber- force. in 1885—twenty-two years ago. He reviewed the events of this period— of both local and national character. ‘In this connection he spoke of the Spanish- American war and the acquistion of in- sular possessions, as well as of the great development of industries and power as a nation. He gave the colored people of the country credit for having contributed their fair share to the accomplishment of all these great results and congratulated them upon the success they have achiev- ed, « Roosevelt's Fame Senator Foraker, after speaking of the political teachers of twenty years ago, paid a warm tribute to the late President McKinley, and said: “At that time Theodore Roosevelt was barely known to the American people; but he, too, had been laying the founda- tions broad and deep on which he was to build the remarkable character that has cabled him not only to be President of the United States, but to fill the whole world with the fame of his deeds.” He spoke of the part taken by the colored solifiers in the Spanish-American war, declaring that “No braver troops bore the flag to victory in that contest than the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Tyventy-fourth and Twenty-fifth In- fantry, They were represented on every firing line and some of them ‘perished in every clash of arms.

Tt would be an injus- tice to them to give them any less cred- it.” ' x After discussing the race problem at considerable length along the lines of his previous speeches, he took up the Rrownsville affair, saying: 2: “The investigation has not yet been conchided.
