VOLXXII NO. 8 LADIES ORGANIZE LADIES ORGANIZE THE ALPHA UNION. A mention was made of a meeting of ladies at the residence of Prof. and Mrs. N. E. Weatherless, 2402 Brightwood avenue, in a previous issue of The Bee. Last Tuesday the ladies assembled at the residence of Mrs. Weatherless and one of the finest unions was formed. Mrs. Arabella V. Chase, the Deputy Organizer for the District and the surrounding sections, was present and performed the very pleasant duty of making the union. The union is the result of the untiring efforts of Mrs. Weatherless. Many of the ladies who are to be members of this union will be obligated on their return from their summer vacation. The name Alpha was selected because it is the first I. L. Union composed of ladies in this city. The following officers were elected Mrs. Ida G. Richardson, an Attendance Officer of the public schools of the Disti- ct, President; Mrs. Eugene Brooks Vice-President; Mrs. Mamie Hillyer, Recording and Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. Clara Tunnell, Financial Secre- tary; Mrs. Martha. B. Weatherless Treasurer; Mesdames Catherine Sewall Luenda Webb and Rebecca Brent, Trus- tees; Mrs. Carrie Grimshaw, Warden; Miss Estelle Gray, Journal Agent, and Mrs. Carrie Milford, Chaplain; Miss Mattie Gray, Mrs. Lucy Draper, Mrs R Brent, Miss May Sewall and Mrs. Susan Kennedy. After the Deputy had completed the official work the ladies were invited to the dining room and partook of an elaborate luncheon. BOSTON NEGROES PROTEST ON INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION'S RULING. Also Against "Jim Crow Annex" for Old-Home Celebration. In Boston. (Boston Globe, July 10, 1907.) At a meeting of the officers and exe- cutive committee of the New England Suffrage League held at 3 Tremont Row last night the following resolutions were passed unanimously: "The New England Suffrage League, W. W. Trotter, president, representing the colored citizens of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, through its officers and executive committee, having read with amazement obiter dictum of the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission that segregation by color in interstate travel is constitutional, in a case involving merely the question of equal accommodations by interstate carriers regardless of color, hereby protests against the encouragement of the color line. "We challenge the assertion of the commission that the broad question of the right under the 13th and 14th amendments of the Constitution to segregate white and colored passengers has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States; the Supreme Court has yet to pass upon that particular question, while Southern State courts, as in the case of Maryland and Virginia, have admitted that 'Jim Crow' car laws could not apply to interstate passengers. "While such a decision is only to be expected under the regime of President Theodore Roosevelt, we denounce this act of the commission in going out of its way to fasten upon one-eighth of our population a mark of the outcast and of degradation such as Russia does not visit upon its peasant or its baited Jew, as an insult of insults to ten million colored United States citizens and as a second Dred Scot decision. "We serve notice on the commission that the colored people of the country will not submit to this nationalizing of the 'Jim Crow' car, and will appeal its decision to the Supreme Court of the United States." The meeting also condemned the attempt on the part of the Boston old-home week committee to have a "Jim Crow" annex for the entertainment of colored visitors during old-home week. Attorney Jacob J. Jones, Howard, 96, who has taken up the practice of law at Vinita, in the new State of Oklahoma, is now in the city, on his return from the Jamestown Exposition, and is domiciled at the residence of the Misses Shorter, 1726 Eighth street northwest. Attorney Jones is a true type of the progressive, hustling young man, from whose bidding success never turns away. He reports business as being pretty good, and as being well pleased at the prospects in the new State. He has succeeded in winning many friends in Vinita among both white and colored, a fact which gives his old friends in Washington much gratification and pleasure. THE BEES WASHINGTON Congressional library Sunday, July 14, 1907, was a grand day with Trinity Baptist Church, Rev J. A. Taylor, D.D., pastor. At 11 A. M. the pastor preached an able sermon to a splendid congregation from Romans 6:4, "Even so we also should walk in newness of life." Subject, "The Christian's New Life." After the sermon the pastor baptized two converts. At 3.30 Rev. W. M. D. Norman, D.D., pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, preached a grand sermon, subject, "God the Refuge of His People." He electrified the congregation. At 8 o'clock the pastor gave communion to a packed house. The pastor received into the fellowship of the church 14 new members. The trustees made the financial report last week of the money raised in the first six months of the church's existence, ending June 30, 1907. It showed that the church had raised over $1700 in the first six months of its existence; $1200 had been paid on the purchase and repairs of the church, the remainder for other purposes. The Second Grand Rally will begin next Sunday, July 21. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES The ten days following the Fourth of July have witnessed the presence in the Negro Building of a great stream of visitors. Among these was Governor Hughes of New York, who, after looking carefully through the exhibit, is reported to have pronounced it the most unique feature of the Jamestown Exposition. Other distinguished visitors were Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard University; Rev. W. E. Hunton and Dr. J. E. Moreland, international secretaries of the Y. M. C. A., and Dr. W. L. Taylor, president of the U. O. of True Reformers, and many others. Mr. C. C. White came to the Exposition and installed the musical exhibit of Negro composers in four days' time, thus breaking the record for quickness of action in establishing his exhibit. The musical exhibit is attracting much interest among the musical visitors and the unique arrangement for the musical instruments by Negro manufacturers and title pages of Negro composers is very excellent. There has been placed in the Negro Building a life-size portrait of Col. Giles B. Jackson, which is the work of Mr. J. C. Farley, a colored artist of Virginia. The portrait is a creditable work of art. The historic tableaux that have been executed by Miss Meta Vaux Warrick of Philadelphia, have been entirely completed. The series, as heretofore announced, represent the scenic reproduction of the history of the Negro from the landing at Jamestown until the present. These groups have been worked out with great artistic accuracy, and the effect produced under the artificial lighting is simply grand. Dr. Thirkield, of Howard University, the other day, said that his exhibit of Miss Warrick's was the finest thing in the Negro Building. In view of the very favorable comments on other features, this statement of Dr. Thirkield is exceedingly complimentary to the artist. Saturday, August 3, has been set apart as Negro Educational Day at the Exposition, and Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has consented to deliver the address on that day. There will be other features, including music by the Hampton Institute Band and the Fisk Jubilee Singers. It is probable that the largest crowd of the Exposition, outside of the visit of the President, will be present on that day. THE IMPOSSIBLE. If we could gather all the tears that fall From women's eyes; From women's eyes, If we could dispell the clouds that pall Their summer skies, What an ocean space those tears would fill, Ceasing never, What a hope-kissed light from skies their still.

What I Saw And Heard The Baptist Convention The local committee is busy arranging for the coming of the National Baptist Convention, which meets in its Twenty-seventh Annual Session in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, this city, Rev. M. D. W. Norman, D.D., pastor, September 11 to 16, inclusive. Judging from past years there will be at least five thousand delegates, among whom will be many of the most noted and eloquent ministers of the race, in attendance. The convention, composed of State associations, Sunday schools, missionary societies, churches and other religious bodies, having a total membership of two and a half million in round numbers, is the largest Negro organization of Christian workers in the world. The delegates, representing religious agencies from every State in the United States, will discuss subjects pertaining to the growth of Christ. The convention, through its publish- a MwOaD MRS.

Indeed, the National Baptist Publishing House, located in the city of Nashville, is the largest pub- lishing concern owned and managed by Neroes in America. They are engaged in all branches of the printing art. The convention co-operates with both the Northern and the Southern white Baptists in education and mission work, and receives each year substantial help from them. All persons who will take delegates at the rate of one dollar per day, please notify Rev. W. D. Jarvis, 120 D street southwest, chairman of the home committee, or Rev. M. W. D. Norman, 1211 T street northwest, at once. The following pastors constitute the managing committee: Revs. G. W. Lee, D.D., W. H. Brooks, D.D., W. J. Howard, D.D., J. M. Waldron, D.D., J. I. Loving, D.D., J. A. Taylor, D.D., I. Toliver, W. P. Gibbons, Ph.D., J. C. Dent, D.D., James H. Lee, D.D., J. T. Clark, D.D., S. G. Lankins, B.D., W. D. Jarvis, S. Miller, E. Gordon, and A. J. Tyler.

"There are about 700,000 Negro voters in this country, and we intend to force the President to do the right thing by us or turn the whole in the Democratic party," said the Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, of Washington, D. C., addressing the tenth annual meeting of the Afro-American Council in Baltimore recently. These words followed an attack upon President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for their attitude in the Brownsville affair, and a eulogy of Senator Foraker for his championship of the colored sol- The judges of the Police Court appointed one colored bailiff last month in the person of Richard Hughes. I am glad that they saw fit to appoint a colored American, notwithstanding the fact that he is not a tan-colored gentleman. I understand that a colored American novelty company has been organized. I think that its methods need a little investigation, if what I have been told be true. I have no reason to doubt my information, because it comes from a reliable source. Rev. Lampkins is making a bold fight for the bishopric. I feel confident that he will win. There is a great deal of talk about teachers having been marked down. A little investigation by the Board of Education is what the people want. Dr. Chancellor will recommend the abolition of the offices of supervising principals to the next Congress. Whenever a man becomes affected with the big head I think it best to apply cold water to it. It reduces the size soem times, especially if it is not discovered. Diseased heads are dangerous at times. Dr. E. W. Scott, of the northwest, is quite ill, I hope that he will recover shortly. The Washington delegation to the Negro Business League will leave the city August 10 or 11. When all the facts in the Odd Fellows discussion are made known they will be interesting reading. It is a rule or ruin policy. It takes level-headed men to be at the head of a great body of any organization. There is to be another colored bank oragnized in this city. I hope that it will be under the control of the St. Luke. Capt. J. F. Oyster will announce his school commitees shortly. There will be no surprises, because the Captain knows his business. FAIRPLAY. MUSIC AT ST. LUKE'S PROTESTANT ERSCOPAL CHURCH. During the summer vacation of the regular choir of the parish of St. Luke the music at the morning service is being rendered by volunteer singers from the congregation, assisted by well-known soloists in offertory work. Among the soloists appearing thus far are Miss Barnes, of Denver, Colorado (a kindergarten teacher in our public schools), a most talented soprano; Mr. T. N. Dickson, of the Treasury Department, a well-known tenor; and Mrs. Louise Hamer Burrell, the accomplished contralto. Dr. C. Sumner Wormell, baritone, has been invited to sing during the offertory to morrow morning.

It is evident, says the Washington ton correspondent of the New York Times, that the Negro revolt against President Roosevelt is going to cut more of a figure in politics than has been expected. There is no doubt, asserts the same correspondent, that the Negroes of Olio and the country at large are with Senator Foraker, who regards the Negro vote as his most effective weapon for bringing the Taft camp to terms. It was believed that the Taft men would control the recent Kentucky Republican State Convention, but that gathering went only so far as to declare that the next National Convention should select for President "one in full accord with the Roosevelt policies." It is said that a fear that the Negroes might bolt the ticket in the fall was all that prevented the convention from specifically indorsing Secrecy Taft. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. An optional five (5) years' course for those who are employed. No extra expense. Capable students can complete the course—provided they are willing to give the requisite number of hours and do the work. Great demand for pharmacists and dentists—more than a dozen capable druggists could be placed, at once, in good positions. Pharmacy offers excellent field for lady students. To those who desire to study a profession, your attention is called to this new feature in the SCHOOL OF MEDICINE at HOWARD UNIVERSITY. We congratulate the Medical Faculty and hope the many bright young men and women who are in the departments will avail themselves of this opportunity. Secretary Shadd can arrange hours. ITEMS ON THE WING For the next three months the clerks will have half holidays on Saturdays from the Federal Buildings in the District of Columbia. The first colored man to receive the thirty-third degree in the United States was Jean Baptist P. Desable, a prominent colored man of San Domingo. He was a relative of Tousant L'Overture.

Twenty-one thousand mine workers have been dropped according to the annual report of President Nichols of District No. 1, United Mine Workers, Wilkesbarre, Pa. Peter Carnegie, Sr., a cousin of Andrew Carnegie, built, a boat in the cellar of his house in Painesville, Ohio, but he finds he cannot get it out of the cellar owing to its size. About thirty-four dogs which were running at large on the streets of Easton, Md., were killed by the Chief of Police. Quite a unique clock has been presented to the Czar at St. Petersburg. The clock registers the time, the duration of the day and month, the hour of sunrise and sunset, the phases of the moon and the earth's movement around the sun. This clock is wound every 400 days and weighs 720 pounds. A vault which had not been opened for 23 years has been discovered in the Municipal Building in Chicago.

These figures, of course, do not per- tain to the rich, but to the common reople. If the summer expenses of the wealthy class were to be added, the total would be vastly larger.

GERMANY BARS CAMERA FIENDS. Law to Stop Taking of Photographs Without Obtaining Consent. | Berlin—The snapshot photographer ‘in Germany Is threatened with extinc- tion owing to the risk he will run of being mulcted in heavy fines under the new act which goes into force soon. The right of all persons to the ex- clusive reproduction of ‘their —por- traits or those of their houses or be- longings Is made absolute by the new enactment. The law, however, permits the granting of permlssion by anyone to a photographer to take his photo- staph or that of his landscape or of his cattle or horses. But there Is danger ahead for the amateur or pro- fessional who takes snapshots of some one or something without previously arming himself with the necessary au- thorization. Prosecution and punish- ment may quickly follow. Even when requested by a friend to take a photograph of a room with its contents, which the owner may de- sire, the danger is stilt great, for the rcom may contain pictures, and if these are recognizable In the photo- graph the photographer Is lable to proseciition by the artist.

New York.—‘The soul of a man is soft and gelatinous, small, practically shapeless, and situated beneath the first rib. Below the Adam's apple in @ man, and in a woman at the base of her throat,"is a spot of little or no re- sistance. It Is from this place when the hour of death has come that the soul must be taken. It does not pass like a shadow. It is not a flight. The soul must be drawn out by an angel sent by God to perform this opera- tion, and this seat of Mfe is trans- ferred, warm, palpitating, to a body the counterpart of the one it has left. It Is substance, material, and could be as well caught by the camera as the human face.” It was thus that Henry Price of Mount Vernon explained recently his theory of the soul's yassage and the possibfity of obtaining a photographic reproduction thereof. “T do not think, by any means, that all men have souls. You may and may not have a sou), according as you have merited it.” BEY TO SELL 17,000,000 STAMPS. Turkish Minister Seeks Cash for Damascus Railroad Here.

Y. Sun. Joseph Bischoff Can Cash Check for $200,000. New York.—The John D. of barberdom is Joseph Bischoff, 82 Wall street. He is the tiptop magnate of the barbers of the world, and can cash his check any day for $200,000. His wealth is increasing, and there is no telling where it will stop, in view of the fact that his financial advisers are such well posted parties as Thomas F. Ryan, who has piled up $100,000,000, and James Stillman, the great banker. There are others, but these are the mainstays You see, Blischoff shaves 'em. They pay him liberally, but as further evidence of their appreciation of his skillful service they take him along occasionally on jaunts in the orchard where the money tree grows. They A. H. let him carry a basket, while, to haul their shares, they are accompanied by four-horse trucks. Bischof became a barber in war times, and in 1873 he branched out as the proprietor of a shop in Wall street. Friendly tips on the market given him by financiers set him going on a very comfortable tide of prosperity, and in time he accumulated several tenement houses. In these latter years, acting under the advice of budding billionaires of the new school, he has sold the houses and gone in for real capitalism. He speculates not at all, but is an investor. Despite his wealth, Bischoff continues at work. He has a set of early morning visits to attend to his favored estomers. At 6:45 a.m. he is at the home of James T. Woodward, president of the Hanover National bank. Half an hour later he is at the dressing room of James Stillman, one of the big men of the Standard Oil company. After Stillman, senior, his son passes under the razor. At 8.30 o'clock, always on the dot, Bischoff reaches the home of Thomas F. Ryan. Then three sons of the latter receive his attention in their Wall street office. After that Bischoff is on deck in his shop, where millionaires come trailing in all day. Bischoff says of his early morning customers that all leave their beds in good humor, and appear to be bright and eager for the day's work. He also observes that it seems to be characteristic of the big fellows that they have tough, wiry hair. He did not say bristles. GOV. CARTER TO QUIT.

(Governor of Hawaii Who Will Quit Office at End of Present Term.) other term after the present one, which expires on the 23d of November, is completed. The governor recently made known his position in respect to the matter to the president, who wished him to continue in office. The president has appointed W. F. Frear, chief justice of the territory, to the office. The governor said that affairs were moving along very nicely in the islands, and that while there is no great prosperity there is no depression. Severe Drought in Jamaica. For the last three months the tropical Island of Jamaica, surrounded by a warm sea, where the evaporation is great, has suffered from a drought as severe as any which visit the inland deserts, far away from any large body of water.

MAINE HAS A UTOPIA COMMUNITY OF TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES THRIVES. Vice Unheard of In Benedicta—Is Without Jail, Poorhouse, Free from Debt and Has Cash on Hand. Boston.—Benedicta, In Malue, Is the Roman Catholic Utopia and the dream of the W. C. T. U. come true. It is tabloided Home Rule. Irish Catholics settled in it. Their descendants, sturdy Americans, run it. Only Catholics live there now, and probably only Catholics will ever live there. It is crimeless, jaillless, poorhouseless, free from debt and ideally administered. As a community Benedicta is more ideal than Moore's "Utopia" or Bacon's "New Atlantis." Though 40 miles from any other town and 100 miles from a railroad, Benedicta has electric light service, a municipal water supply, several fine buildings, and all the conveniences of a thoroughly modern city. Benedicta is not only free from debt, but has a surplus in the treasury. Moreover there is not a poor family in the place and there never has been any occasion for the establishment of any of the usual institutions for the poverty stricken or peace breakers. When Fenwick started his colony he purchased more than 12,000 acres of fertile timber lands, comprising the western half of a township in Aroostook county. There he began to build up an ideal community of temperance residents. Though many of the younger generation have gone to cities for work, leaving their elders on farms, the census of 1900 showed that the colony numbered 350 persons. Benedicta got its charter as a town in 1674, the name being bestowed in honor of its founder. The nearest place where any liquor can be bought is Houlton, 44 miles away through the woods to the east, and the nearest point of railway connection is Bangor, more than 100 miles to the south. TURBANS SOLVE RACE PROBLEM Secretary Wilson Discovers Way to Settle the Jim Crow Laws. Washington.—If the negroes of the south will take to wearing turbans and the long flowing robes of the orientals the race question may be solved so far as the railroads are concerned. The suggestion comes from Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, whose genius in making two blades of grass grow where one had grown before, was called upon to plan for a tour of four Hindu students through the south. The students, who are now the guests of the government, want to visit the cotton fields, but it quickly developed that they were in danger of being forced to ride in compartments in Jim Crow cars provided for the negroes. As the young men are of high caste they could not be subjected to such treatment, and the outlook seemed desperate until Secretary Wilson proposed that the Hindus lay aside their American clothes and wear their turbans and robes. So attired they are promised the best railroad and hotel accommodations. Is Not Real Man's Work. Muskegon, Mich.—Sleman Berghula, of Muskegon, in a signed declaration states that he does not think making beds, washing dishes and cooking meals is the duty of a husband. For that reason he commenced divorce proceedings against his wife, Louise C. Berghula, to whom he has been married seven years. TO SAVE THE COAL SUPPLY. Crude Methods of Production Have Caused Immense Waste. Washington. — The government, through the United-States geological survey, is planning with the producers of coal to place far in the distance the day when the country's coal supply shall be exhausted. Crude methods of production, with more attention paid to cheap production than to saving and scientific methods of mining, have resulted in an astonishing waste of coal. This will never be recognized, for it lies buried deeply in abandoned mines now filled in. Also, it is planned to prolong and regulate the supply of coal, by new methods of mining, which will, no doubt, result in adding many years to the existence of the now available supply. The extravagance in the production of coal, amounting to almost criminal waste, has not had the effect of reducing the cost to consumers. This, at least, is the opinion of Edward W. Parker, of the geological survey, who was a member of President Roosevelt's coal strike commission, and probably is more familiar with coal conditions than any man in the country. "One of the greatest problems to overcome in the production of coal," said Mr. Parker. "Is a reduction in the waste of mining. Only a few years ago only 40 per cent. of the coal in a mine was marketed. Sixty per cent. was lost. Cheap mining methods caused this waste. Under improved methods the waste has now been reduced to from 30 to 40 per cent." NEW YORK LEADS WORLD. Surpasses Even London in Wealth and Variety of Business. New York.—This city, which ranks second among the world's cities in population, largely surpasses London in wealth and in the volume and variety of its business activities. The United States passed England in extent of manufactures in 1880, in iron and steel production in 1895 and in coal output in 1900, and its leadership in each of these fields is rapidly lengthening. New York city is the business capital of a country which produces 20 per cent. of the world's wheat. 25 per cent. of its gold, 33 per cent. of its coal, 25 per cent. of its manufactures, 40 per cent. of its iron. 42 per cent. of its steel, 52 per cent. of its petroleum, 55 per cent. of its copper, 70 per cent. of its cotton and 80 per cent. of its corn. The wealth of the United States in 1907 is $115,000,000,000, or as much as that of its two nearest rivals—Great Britain and France—in the aggregate. As the United States' natural resources are only in the early stage of their development and as its supremacy over the rest of its old time rivals is steadily increasing, its social and business leadership in the world is assured. Negro Gave Diamonds Away Lexington, Ky.-In the lining of an old working coat belonging to Albert Rice, a negro laborer of this city, were found the other day four diamonds which came out of the diamond brooch containing 23 diamonds, which was lost by Mrs. William Dudley, of this city. March last. The negro found the brooch in a vell mashed by a wagon wheel on East Main street here the morning after it had been lost, but, thinking the diamonds were glass, had been generous in distributing them among his friends, particularly to women. To Lizzle Oldham he gave three of the diamonds. In an old broken vase on the mantel in Rice's room were four of the diamonds, so that 11 of the 23 diamonds in the brooch have been located. Being an heirloom, the jewel was regarded as priceless by Mrs. Dudley. LEADING SIMPLE LIFE NOTHING MORE HEARD OF ONCE FAMOUS AGUINALDO. Distinguished Trouble Maker Now a Successful Ship-Builder in Philippines and Reconciled to American Rule New York.—A correspondent writing to a contemporary, asked what has become of Aguinaldo, the once conspicuous Tagal, "Son of Destiny," but who seems to have dropped so completely out of public notice that the paper to which the inquiry was addressed replied by saying that patient and painstaking search of the records discloses the fact that the famous Filipino chieftain, who for many long months was chased from one end of the Philippines to the other by practically all the armed forces of the United States, and who was finally surprised and captured by stratagem by Gen. Frederick Funston, the 'dare-devil of the American army,' has dropped out of sight as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed him at a single gulp. It is true that this distinguished trouble maker, who once commanded the first column on the front page, has dropped out of the notice of the reading world. But he is still very much alive, and—you would never guess it—a well-to-do shipbuilder, has a ship yard on the Netmos river, at Carvite Veyo, a village near Cavite; is thoroughly reconciled to Aemrlican rule, has taken the oath of allegiance; the surveillance upon his movements, once so keen though unobtrusive, has been withdrawn, and the "Son of Destiny" is now engaged in leading so much of the simple life as goes with the building of coastwise craft and the patching up of those that are in need of repair. This information about the Fillipno leader who gave so much trouble to Spain and to America was furnished by James H Dove, chief boatswain, United States navy, who is now at- J. EMILIO AQUINALDO. (Once-Famous Filipino Who Has Completely Dropped Out of Public Notice.) tached to the New York navy yard, and who has just returned from Manila, where he has been stationed for two years. It was immediately prior to his departure from Manila that the chief boatswain paid a visit to Aguinaldo at his ship yard. Aguinaldo, he says, employs about 150 men. is doing a thriving business, accumulating many of this world's goods, and—getting fat. "Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, such as sleep o' nights." This Cassius no longer wears a lean and hungry look, and is no more of that dangerous class who think too much. A much-changed Emilio, he is, according to his recent visitor. No more does he issue proclamations whose poignancy of style was rivaled only by that of Manila's bombastic Captain General Augustin, and no more does he send forth evil communications to corrupt good Filibinos. Aguinaldo, who is now about 38 years old, first came into fame in 1806 when he led the revolt of his countrymen against Spanish rule. Thereafter he was constantly active as an insurgent until America conquered Spain, whereupon he took up arms against the conquerors and caused this country far more trouble than Montojo caused Dewey until he was finally captured by Funston. Aguinaldo, it is said, had been a close student of the life of Napoleon and was credited with an ambition to be a military leader such as was the "Little Corsican." Statue Rapidly Decaying. In a letter to the Philadelphia Ledger rear Admiral George W. Melville, United States navy (retired), calls attention to the decay of the statue of Washington at the portals of Independence hall. Slowly but surely rain and snow, heat and cold have sapped the life of the marble which, 40 years ago, was fashioned by Joseph Bailly into a likeness of Washington. The Ledger quotes a sculptor as saying that one more severe winter will ruin the statue if repairs are not speedily made. Learning to Speak "American." Prince William of Sweden, who will visit America shortly, although he speaks excellent English, is anxious to get the right American accent and to be conversant with American expressions. He has obtained the services of M. Michlas, a well-known teacher of languages in Copenhagen, to instruct him. Boston Millionaire Introduces Unique Ideas In His Summer Mansion. Boston—Upon the summit of the famous Notscott hill in the town of Farmingham and a short distance from the old Wayside Inn, there has just been completed one of the most unique summer homes in New England. Mrs. S. B. Pearmain, a Boston society woman, is the architect of this modern palace. Mrs. Pearmain, in planning the house, has introduced a number of novel ideas of her own which make the mansion a close rival to the much talked-of Gardner Italian palace in the Fenway. The feature of the new building, one that has been emphasized particularly, is the possibility that has been afforded for outdoor life. Besides an extended pergola built out Pearmain Villa Showing Loggia Roof Garden. from the south side, a balustraded terrace adn. a pillared portico adjoining from the west and two smaller rear porticos in the rear, a loggia, flat topped and surmounting rows of square columns has been constructed upon the flat roof of the new house where an outdoor life the season round may be passed without great discomfort in case the latter mode of existence is desired. Indeed, it has been planned to make this roof garden, situated several hundred feet above the surrounding level, one of the most delightfully ideal places of private abode in New England. The Pearmain estate is one of the links in a chain of country side places built by wealthy Bostonians that extend from the vicinity of the old Wayside inn back to the southward into the Framingham town boundaries. The new house, which is almost entirely of concrete construction, tops the summit of the biggest hill in that part of the state and at a distance gives the effect of a somewhat modern Italian palace. In addition to the outdoor diversions which the house itself offers, a monster private swimming tank, 20 feet wide and 70 feet long, all of concrete, has been built at the foot of the hill upon which the mansion is located. REMARKABLE TENT ROCKS. Located in New Mexico and Contain Prehistoric Caves. Santa Fe, N. M.—Otowi's the name of a canyon in northern New Mexico, about seven miles west of the point where the Rio Grande river enters White Rock canyon, and contains the remarkable Tent Rocks, which were the dwelling places of prehistoric man. The canyon in which these most singular structures are located is but one of many forming a district that in its entirety is of great scenic beauty and one of the richest in the southwest in well-preserved prehistoric remains. This district contains innumerable cavate houses, a vast number of small pueblo ruins, and the remains of the great com- Tent Rocks of Otowi, New Mexico. munal dwellings of Puye, Otowi, Tsankawi, Navakwl and Palarito. The distinctive feature of the Otowl ruins is the Tent Rocks, the like of which is found only in Thibet, that far-away land of mystery. There are about 50 of these conical formations, varying in height from 15 to 40 feet. They are full of caves, and in one at least there is a second story with rooms duplicating the ground floor. Perched on top of many of these enormous cones is an immense rock, weighing oftentimes as much as a ton. Up to this time there has been no excavation or exploration, and it is not known whether these queer structures contain the remains of human beings, pottery and other relics usually found in caves and cliff dwellings. Notwithstanding their accessibility, very few persons have ever visited these ruins. Hard Toothpicks Injurious Twenty-five years ago wood toothpicks were made of "soft pine," two and one-half inches long, flattened like a wedge at both ends, and really so soft that they did not endanger the enamel of the teeth or injure the gums. The toothpicks of to-day are made of the hardest kinds of wood, round-pointed, blunted, brittle. They hurt the teeth and gums. When a point breaks off it is often necessary to go to a dentist to have it removed. —N. Y.

WOODRUFF, ‘ OF NEW YORK : ODD FELLOW POLITICS. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America has been the greatest factor in the American body politic “from the time when the memory.of man runneth not to the contrary.” This organization has had men atvits head that have reflected credit upon the order. The Bee has great confidence in the organization, and much interest in those who are directly concern- ed in making it what it should be for the benefit of humanity. There are times when grafters get control of institutions for one purpose only. While the Bee is not the organ of the order, it has an interest in those who have the welfare of the people at heart, as well as the welfare of the order. * The Bee would be derelict in its duty if it failed to warn the two hundred thousand Odd Fellows in America of the danger that threat- ens the order. Men sometimes be- come so selfish and conceited by imaginary power that they will not listen to reason, If there are a few, men at the head of the order who will not listen to reason for the benefit of a‘ great body, an im- mediate change then becomes nec- essary. 7 ‘The Bee last week gave a friend- ly hint to the S. C. M. of an exist- ing or impending revolution in this great organization. There is a dis- position to discountenance this friendly -hint and declare the dec- laration to be an “infamous lie.” The Bee has in its possession a most infamous deal that would make denizen politicians blush, “+For officers of an order, who have been elected -by regularly elected delegates, to be a party to -such a deal is infamous, It was the expose of this infamous deal, ‘n the Alabama case, that caused the injunction to be dismissed against the D. G. L, of that State. If this grand body is to be offi- cered by such men the sooner mem- bers, of the order should know the facts and decide for themselves, whether such men_should be con- tinued in office to make the order a cesspool of corruption. Editor. B. J. Davis, of the At- lanta Independent, is a victim of a deep-laid campaign to oust him from the order, because he gave a dissenting opinion in the A.abama case, of which Mr. C. A. Howze is D. GoM, of the State. The D. G. M. of Alabama is paying the highest endowment of any order in the South, and to crip- ple the usefulness of the order, as well as Mr. Howze, a decision was| rendered, the tendency of which was to put Mr. Howze out of busi- ness and place his opponent, who is conducting a petty insurance busi-| ness in the State, in power. There | is a great deal behind this which will be more ‘fully explained after the meeting of the sub-committee of management, which is to meet in Philadelphia next Monday, July 22. It would seem to The Bee that ‘those .in control would stop thi: dirty business at once, in view of the fact that ove. two-thirds of the membership of the order is from the South, The removal or attemp! at removal of either Editor Davis or Mr. Howze will surely cause\the entire South to rebel and secede Yn establish a new B. M. C. > Many of the Northern lodges will follow the South. The Bee is con- fidentially informed ‘that many of the lodges in the District of Co: lumbia will unite with the South. It will be seen that a dissolution of the Odd Fellows of America may happen at any time if the sub-com- mittee of management attempts any drastic measure next week. This may read like a “fairy tale,” but The Bee has published many tales of''a similar character that have terminated in the destruction of the offenders. Editor B. J. Da- vis, of the Atlanta Independent, is the idol of the South, Mr, Howze is an organizer and a man of great executive ability. Alabama and Georgia alone furnish more dele- gates at the B. M. C. gatherings than the entire North. The Bee has made a thorough in- vestigation of all the circumstances in this matter, and not half has been told. The Odd Fellows of this city would become disgusted if they knew all. The Bee would-be pleased to see harmony, but if harmony cannot prevail, the facts of every charac- ter will be given to the public, A TYRANNICAL ACT. At the meeting of the B. M,C. of Odd Fellows in America certain Officers were elected by the regular delegated body. One among the principal officers was Editor b. J. Davis, of the Atlanta Independent, and, as The Bee stated last week, he is one of the brainiest men in the South, and a man of the high- est honor and integrity. He was elected Grand Treasurer of the Odd Fellows in America, and executed his bond: The subterfuge that has been sprung by his enemies is that he has violated his obligations. Never was a more infamous falsehood told, AS treasurer the money of the organization has not been turned over to him, although he has executed his bond and it has been accepted. The people, as well as the Odd Fellows, in this country are not aware of the cause. ‘Treasurer Davis refused to agree to the payment of illegal bills con- tracted, and again he rendered an adverse opinion in the Alabama case. When all of these facts and much other damaging information in the possession of The Bee are made known, they will show a con- dition in the organization that will tend to a revolution in the order, and the Odd Fellows might as well prepare to meet it, Because certain limited power has been delegated to’men, they must not presume that they can ride rough shed over the will of the ma- jority, There are certain condi- tions that exist in this order that are not at all known to the Odd ‘Fellows of this country. ~ The publication in The Bee last week has startled the Odd Fellows throughout the country, and many inquiries are ‘being made asking what the coniitions are, They are most startling,and if necessity com- pels their publication The Bee will do so. . Editor Davis is a victim‘of a deep-laid conspitacy, and D. G. M. A. C. Howze can a tale unfold which will put.to flight these grate ers in the Odd Fellows. | | Present indications show that the entire order will be put to a stand- still on+ account of the ignorance and bigotry of some of the heads in the order. ‘The order should not be made to suffer because selfishness and ignor- ance have controlled by trickery. The idea of two or three men de- fying the authority of a dclegated) body of men by refusing to turn over the money: of the order to the regular elected Grand Treasurer! Then another notorious and arbi- trary act is the deciding against a grand body upon ex parte evidence. The Alabama courts have decided that the.action of the sub-commit- tee of management was wrong, by dismissing the injunction proceed- ings against the Grand Lodge of Alabama. . It was dismissed after a thorough investigation of the laws governing the order in the appeal case to the sub-committee of management, . The Alabama case shows base corruption, and the world will ap- plaud Editor Davis if all the facts and circumstances are published. The.Odd Fellows of Alabama are determined to see that Mr. Howze is properly succeeded and that no trick will remove him. Mr, John- son is not now, and never will be, Grand Master of the State of Ala- bama, and no one high in authority, with the aid of the sub-committee af management will be able to elect him Grand Master. Mr. Johnson has been nine timés defeated by Mr. C. A, Howze, and he will hev- er be Grand Master so long as the Odd Fellows exist in the State. The action of those who have won a temporary vidtory will realize that The Bee was fair and the sugges- tion for peade and harmony was made in good faith, Acts of tyranny can exist no- where, and before the end of this contest someone will be wounded. | If money has been illegally spent on illegal contracts made, thar will involve the National Grand Body, the members are entitled to know it. The Bee will keep nothing back if the members iho are not aware of what is, going*on are anxious to know. - A RACE PROBLEM. Perhaps the most unfortunate phase of the race problem, if there really exists such a thing, lies in the fact that the absence of a just and clear definition of that problem permits and encourages the exploit- ation of the thousand and one issues and ologies conceived hy mischiev- ous and malignant demagogues and incubated by well-meaning: but mis- guided visionaries. Not,a day pass- es but some new side is added to the already angular and distorted prob- lem. This want of accurate defini- tion of the race problem suggests one of two very important conclu- sions or both. Either the race prob- lem is indefinable, and therefore non-existent from a practical point of view, or it is intentionally left an open question by agitators for the purpose of eliciting the most thorough scrutiny and of applying every cast of thought to’ which a proposition is susceptible, : It maybe. stated just here that the history of this country has fur- nished no instance where a social condition, taking the form of a problem, has been so uniformly and universally juggled, mystified, and misunderstood, or where there’ has been less disposition to insist upon actual f@cts than in the so-called race question. Whatever may have bee nthe motive of the inventors of this race problem, it is clear to us that something is radically wrong, From the “line up” we imagine that this so-called race problem con- stitites so much “sop” thrown out for the purpose of diverting a cet- tain class from the real, source of their past conditions. And it re- requires no prophet to see this. The “poor white man” has, by the grace of Abraham Lincoln, had his social, material, and in a measure moral, fetters stricken off. He now stands really and truly an American citi- zen, at least so far as emancipation’ can make him so. He'is invested with the rights of citizenship, which, by the way, prior to emancipation, he exercised only under conditions named by the aristocracy. With untrammelled suffrage came power, and with power all of the hatreds, ambitions and aspirations of which the human soul is capable, With power, too, came the spirit of re- venge—revenge upon those aristo-| ‘crats who had so long kept “‘poor white” in abject poverty and social degradation, ‘The consequence has been that scarcely a man who rep- resents thé old regime in Southern politics holds a respectable or com- manding position which can be giy- ‘en at the hands of the Southern water: The “poor white man” is lon top indeed. His aim was pri- ‘marily to humiliate his erstwhile superior and dictator. He failed in this becailse he was ignorant, brut- ey inexperienced, pride-blown — in fact, a boor and a fool. By the ‘superior’ intelligence, tact and di- plomacy of. the aristocratic classes ‘the poor whites” were attracted toward the alarming progress and prosperity of the ex-slave. It was shown that the Negro and not the aristocrat was the thing to be fear- ed. This was apparent from the superiority which the ex-slave feels over the “poor white trash.” The “poor whites” took bait, hook, line and pole, and are trying how mean, delivish and utterly unfit for gov- ernment they can make themselves. In the meantime the colored people are progressing, the aristocracy are plotting to regain power, the race problem remains an “open ques- tion,” and the poor white man con- tinues to remain a deluded and pride-blown fool. COMMENCEMENT AND POLITICS. POLITICS. In the first instalment of opinion on the editorial page of the New York Age of last week, the trustees of Wilberforce University, Qhio, are reminded that they were guilty of a violation of commencement de. corum when they permitted Sena- tor Foraker to, talk about the Brownsville affray at their recent commencement. The writer of this output of opinion, presumably T. Thomas Fortune, would have all discussion of a political nature ex. cluded from the college atmosphere, especially at commencement. sea- sons. It can be readily understood that “the brethren in interest,” who control the Age are opposed to any mention of the Brownsville matter which tends to reflect on the Presi- dent or Secretary Taft. But that is not a reason why political topics should not be discussed in colleges. If this principle is sound, the ex- clusion of political discussions from commencement exergises, then Sec- retary Taft, Senator Knox, Secre- tary Root, President Roosevelt and a host of others have been guilty, this year and in years past, of bad taste and-academic indecorum. Then, doesn't The Age recall that the Brownsville matter is not a po- litical subject? Doesn't The Age remember that no less an authority that President Roosevelt himself said at the now historic Gridiron ‘dinner, and on other and divers oc- ‘casions, that any discussion of his order of discharge would be purely “academic”? So that even if it be admitted that political subjects should be left off commencement programs, it would still be in order to discuss the Brownsville case, be- cause the Presiderlr says such dis- cussion is academic, By the deter- mination of Preside Roosevelt, even The Age may discuss the Brownsville case, and permit its “staff correspondent’ to do so.with- out fear of incurring displeasure in Administration circles, ‘ We assume that this phase of the matter has escaped ghe attention of “the brethren in interest,”who con- trol The Age. and we take pleasure in giving them light on the matter, in the hope that however modest Editor Fortune,may be as to the discussion of other matters in which he deems it his bounderi duty to think as the Administration does, he may at least be\frank as to the Brownsville affair, for it is now an academic. not a nolitieal enhient TRUSTS VS. THE PEOPLE, Next to: the ability to create wealth , the power to keep it is the most important. It makes but fit- tle difference to a person whether he creafes much or little‘if he gets no more than a bare living out of it! The slave got that rauch, and never had to Worry whether he or the grocery bill, or the doctor, or many of the other annoyances that he must look out fo rtoday. Under slavery the master had to not only own the tools with which the slave created the wealth,-but he had to own the slave himself. To- day it has been found much more profitable to only own the tools and hire the worker, as then the work- er must take care of himself, and if one should die there is absolutely no cash loss to the employer, and there are always plenty waiting to take his place. From this it is evident that who- ever owns the tools of production virtually owns the producers, and if the Negro wants to keep the wealth which he produces he must own the tools with which he works. Today there is opposition to labor- saving machinery because it takes work away from the working man, but if the working man owned the machine how different it would be. The machine would then be his best friend and it would be impossible to have too many of them, The other day John D. Rocke- feller advised the reporters to save systematically and to work hard, for that was the foundation of ev- ery large fortuhe. But he failed to tell them, as he could have done, that by owning the tools of produc- tion he had not only been able to save what’ he had created but also the wealth that had been created by millions of his fellow men. 3 But Rockefellar is teaching, the people the benefit of co-operation, and after the President has failed in his receivership campaign against the trusts as badly as he has by his suits the: people will begin to in- vestigate the matter for’themselves and eventually they will come to the conclusion that the only way to keep! tite trusts from owning them is to own the trusts. “Then the worker will be able to keep the wealth he produces and not until then. THE BUSINESS LEAGUE. | ‘The regular annual session of the’ National Negro. Business Leagué will meet’ in Topeka, Kansas; next month. From all reports it will be the greatest gathering of ae business men who have ever as- sembled in this country.- When Prof. Booker T. Washington con- ceived the idea to organize a busi- ness association of colored men he: became a race benefactor. When colored men are able to conduct business as.other nationalities they then become a strong factor. They not only command respect, but it voluntarily comes to them. ‘The colored American in politics is a failure. This he has readily realiz- ed. Every colored man in the Unit- ed States who conducts a business enterprise should ally himself with this League. Well conducted busi- hess enterprises are direct tenden- cies to good citizenship; politics is only an incident, so to speak. The Bee does not mean that the! colored American should throw away politics, but it does mean that he should not make politics the di- rect object of good citizenship. A good citizen is a well behaved in- dividual, He will study the inter- est of his neighbor. He will obey the law and protect his fellow-citi- zen. He will vote for good men for office, irrespective of politics. He will pay his poll tax and accu- | DAGOES DISCRIMINATE. | Coming to this country'to free ‘themselves from oppression, one would suppose that they would not be tainted with the least discrim- ination.

Saturday evening a number of the representative colored newspaper men of the city gathered by invitation of Dr. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, at his home, 420 T street, N. W., to meet Mr. Chester Franklin, editor of the Statesman, Denver, Col., the leading paper published by the Negro people in the Rocky mountain section of the country. Light refreshments and cigars were served, and many witty and thoughtful speeches were made by the editors, correspondents and publishers present, looking to the betterment of the journalistic status of the race. Dr. Vernon, himself a veteran newspaper man of Kansas, acted as toastmaster, and his introductions and fund of anecdotes were quite felicitous. Among those who spoke in response to the call of the toastmaster were John Wesley Cromwell, formerly editor of the Washington People's Advocate and the Record; R. W. Thompson, associate editor and staff correspondent of the Indianapolis Freeman, and representing a general news syndicate; Harrison J. Pinkett, manager of the Press Bureau; J. Culbert Campbell, correspondent of the Advocate, Charleston, W. Va., and W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee. The closing address by Mr. Franklin, the guest of honor, was descriptive of the commercial, industrial, agricultural and journalistic possibilities of the great West. JANIFER-WATTS. A quiet wedding was solemnized at Natural Bridge Wednesday, June 19, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Watts, between their oldest daughter, Mamie E. to Mr. Robert Janifer of Washington, D. C. The scene was impressive, the two plighting their troth surrounded by kindred and friends. The ceremony was performed by the bride's uncle, Rev. S. S. Watts of Buena Vista, Va. REGISTER;VERNON ENTERTAINS THE PRESS-EDITOR FRANK- LIN GUEST OF HONOR. The new and beautiful residence of Register and Mrs. W. T. Vernon, 420 T street northwest, Le Droit Park, last Saturday evening was a scene of social brilliance. Mr. Chiester A. Franklin, editor of the Denver (Colorado) Statesman, was the guest of honor. Mr. Franklin is on a visit East.- He has visited the Government Printing Office and other government buildings last week, and preparatory to his departure last Sunday morning, Register and Mrs. W. T. Vernon entertained him last Saturday evening and had as guests only members of the press to meet him. The early part of the evening was enjoyed on the verandah, and at 9.30 the invited guests repaired to the beautifully painted dining room, where they were served by Caterer Underdour. At the conclusion of the repast Register Vernon introduced Mr. J. W. Cromwell, who made a very interesting talk on what he knew about newspapers. He was followed by Mr. Campbell, the Washington correspondent of the West Virginia Advocate. He was followed by Mr. W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee; Mr. H. J. Pinkett, of the Press Bureau, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, of the Indianapolis Freeman. The guest of honor, Mr. Franklin, editor of the Colorado Statesman, was the last speaker. He is a thorough Westerner and a polished and entertaining speaker. He paid a high compliment to the Western country and extended an invitation to those who were looking for a fortune to come to his section of the country. He has always followed a policy in his paper not to publish anything that does not tend to elevate his people. Divorces he never publish. He endeavors, he said, to publish all the good that the people send him in connection with what he knows himself. Editor Franklin left the city last Sunday morning for New York and other Eastern cities, after which he will return to his home. Many deserving compliments were paid Register Vernon by every speaker. A SPECIAL COURSE IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Miss E. Blanche Gibson and Miss M. E. B. George left this week for Columbia University, New York city, N. Y., where they will take a special course in Domestic Science and Child Training. Miss Blanche Gibson is the sister of Mrs. L. R. Clark, the principal of the Clark's Training School, and is a graduate from this school. She has made an excellent record during the past year as teacher of Domestic Science in the Goldsboro Public Schools. Miss George has been teaching the past three years in the State Normal School at Elizabeth City, N. C. The Bee wishes these girls much success and commends them on taking a higher course. Dr. D. R. Wilkins, who has, so long and so signally filled the public eye as editor of the Chicago Conservator, was on Wednesday last committed to an institution for the treatment of those whose minds have given way under too great a strain—The Conservator. The Conservator and Mr. Wilkins have our sympathy. It is probable that the real cause of Mr. Wilkins' illness can be traced to worrying over his "good subscribers" not paying their debts. From the New York Age Prof. N. E. Weatherles and son Ellis, of Washington, D.C., arrived in town Sunday. He stayed at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Porter, and left Monday morning for Columbia College, N. Y. Prof. Weatherless is superintendent of the physical and chemistry department of the schools of Washington. Little Ellie will spend the summer with Walter J. Brehon. THANKS From the Nashville Globe. Few of our exchanges, indeed, find the social events of Nashville so interesting as does the Washington Bee. Miss Beatriz Chase, who fills the position of exchange editor—we suppose—so acceptably, is as interested in the happenings of this city as if she were one of us. The ability to write as well as clip, in this case, has passed from sire to daughter. Editor Chase, of the Washington Bee, thinks the Afro-American Council was the whole show when it met in this city week before last. Well, that was about the size of it, Editor Chase. It was a fairly good show, but the people of Baltimore got very little for their money. Now, Editor Murphy, you should have been present at this meeting. We had brains there, and men of great independence. The Council lacked one thing, and that was the absence of the learned and brainy Editor of the Afro-American Ledger. The three troublesome members of the Council were Rev. Hughes, Gains and Alexander. They constituted the brains of Maryland, with-but one exception, and that exception was the absence of Editor Murphy. ITEMS ON THE WING Mary Mansfield of New York received $900 for two broken ribs by decision of the Supreme Court. In the death of Mr. Speare, the undertaker, it has been brought out that the funeral of Garfield has never been paid. The United States owes for the funeral. Senator Ben. Tillman at Jackson, Mich., challenged Senator Dolliver of Iowa to fight a duel because the Senator from Iowa disagreed with Tillman's great howl about the race problem. Friends interfered and the mill was declared off. Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi has embraced religion. Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, is training at Atlantic City for his fight with Fitzsimmons which will take place at Philadelphia July 17. He has sent a challenge to fight Burns, the Canadian pugilist. Former Representative John S. Wise of Virginia, one time Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, in an address before the Maryland Bar Association, in touching upon the actions of the present Executive, in part said that many things he was doing have no justification in the Constitution, and further, that the people would not uphold a party which advocated Federal or State aggression, etc. The colored people of Richmond, Va. last week hissed the picture of Roosevelt at an entertainment given at the True Reformers Hall. Read The Bee. Secretary Cortelyou intends to make reforms in the working of the United States Terasury Department in the near future. Last Tuesday Sir Knight Julius Warren, of Gethsemane Commandery, No. 3, K..T, was buried with Masonic honors. The next day Brother S. G. Hunter, of John F. Cook Lodge, No. 10, F. A. A. M., was buried. Both of these members of the Craft (Virginia Avenue Faction) were highly respected in the jurisdiction. Requiescat in pace. We see by the Saturday night Star a picture showing the President giving the Japanese Yamamoto the razzle-dazzle about his farm. The Japs are funny; they will laugh; but what they make up their minds to do they will put into operation as soon as practical. Last Sunday the District militia left for camp at Harpers Ferry. We notice, as usual, the First Separate Battalion has the same old billet, viz., looking out for the horses, the officers' servants, etc., while the other part of the brigade goes to the front in military capacity. Lieut. Governor L. Y. Sherman last Friday at a banquet in Chicago scathingly and relentlessly paid his respects to the President, Mr. Roosevelt. The clock in the Public Building in Philadelphia is the second largest in the world. The Public.

Bullimore, Md.—A hobo who occupies a high place in his chosen profession dropped into the Baltimore & Ohio executive offices the other day to lay his grievance before President Murray. The president was out of town, but Mr. Hobo's credentials would have secured him easy access. No Stropping, No Honing His complaint was that the rods and trucks under the coaches are not as comfortable as they might be from the members of the fraternity who travel in that way. This hobo is something of a mystery, as but few know his real name. He is known as "A No. 1" wherever he goes. Set consists of 12 double-edged blades (24 keen cutting edges) with triple silver-plated holder in velvet lined case. Each blade good for an average of more than 20 satisfying shaves.

He has been to Europe seven times, to Alaska once, has visited Mexico and South America, and has made numerous transcontinental trips, beating his way all the while.

This gentleman is a sort of Beau Hickman of his fraternity. He does not look like a tramp. He had on a neat, well kept suit of clothes that must have cost about $35. He had just been shaved and had his mustache carefully waxed. He wore neat, blackened Oxfords, and looked and acted the part of a gentleman. He is five feet four inches, has curly hair, and speaks English, French and Spanish fluently. When he travels on the trucks he wears overalls. In his pockets he carries shoe blacking, tooth powder, handkerchiefs, a unique equipment for a tramp, and, most interesting of all, a tiny box of poison with which to put himself out of agony should he ever be caught in a wreck. He is known by many railroad officials, and the cards which they have given him help to keep him out of jail when the detectives get hold of him. He spent for traveling expenses in the last 26 years just $7.50. Texas Estate Tied Up by Contesting Heirs. Galveston, Tex.-If the higher courts of Texas affirm the decision of the Nolan county, court that a telephone marriage is not a legal marriage there will be a rush or remarriages in Texas, where the telephone fad has been quite popular. The $250,000 estate of the late Thomas Wemberley, ranchman, is tied up on this legal point. Upon his death, some months ago, a contest of the will was made by certain relatives, and the question of the legality of the marriage was raised by counsel for relatives of the dead ranchman. This question was sought upon every ground. The court held that a marriage ceremony to be legal must be solemnized by a minister or judge or other authority in the presence of the contracting parties and witnesses, all of whom shall attest the ceremony. The Wemberleys were united by a telephone ceremony, in which the bride and bridegroom responded to the justice, who married them over a telephone when they were 20 miles apart. There have been several hundred telephone marriages in Texas, and a few years ago an east Texas judge refused to recognize a man and woman as man and wife in a court proceeding because they had been married in this way. MOURNED DEAD FOR YEARS. New Jersey Man Returns Home with Part of Memory Gone. Burlington, N. J.-Restored alive to his family, after having been mourned four years as dead, but lost to himself, is the strange fate of Charles P. Brewin, for 30 years a stanch citizen of this revolutionary town. He is the man that was. To himself Brewin is a child with but a two years' memory, in spite of the three score years that have set the snow on his head. He is now, he thinks, Charles Johnson, a gray little tailor, whose interest in life does not extend much beyond his "goose." Yet his wife and children are weeping over him, trying to persuade the amazed little man that he is of their flesh and blood. A stranger case of dual identity, with one self-dead, seldom has been disclosed. Physicians who have known the whilom tailor as prosperous Charles P. Brewin say the pressure of a small bone on the brain is the cause of all his trouble. Brewin's dual history dates from four years ago in November when his wife and children awoke to find him gone. A search failed to find him, and he was believed to be dead. The other day, however, an old acquaintance recognized him in Plainfield, only a few miles from his old home. Produces Vegetable Novelties. Washington.One of the agents of the department of agriculture working on his New Jersey farm has produced a new vegetable novelty in the shape of a seedless tomato. The variety has been called the Giant, because of the large size that the plant attains. Six years of experiments was necessary to produce the seedless tomato. Each ordinary tomato contains hundreds of seeds, while the form now developed seldom contains more than 50 seeds, and often none. Before attaining success in his experiments the government scientist produced large crops of freak toma- ED.

Seattle, Wash.—With the passing of the sailing vessel, which is giving place to the modern fast steamer, the old-time sailor is becoming merely a memory. The change is more noticeable in the officers of vessels than in the sailors. Many of the old captains, however, deplore the modernizing of the sailor and officer. The modern sailor is little more than a stevedore, while the mates are scarcely more than chief stevedores, according to many of the old-time skippers. This has been brought about by the short runs of the coasting vessels and the fact that the mate's chief duty is to superintend the loading and unloading of cargo. On the short coasting runs navigation is done almost entirely by what is known as dead reckoning. This is accomplished by the log, the compass and local knowledge of the waters. The ships are seldom out of sight of land and the earlier knowledge of navigation gained by the officers before they apply for their papers is, in many cases, practically forgotten. The handling of cargo becomes the chief work of the officers, with the exception of the captain, and even he seldom makes use of his knowledge of navigation, aside from that of dead reckoning. In the old school of ships one of the first things the officer was taught was seamanship; secondly, navigation, and at the present day, some of the most 44 successful captains who acquired their knowledge in the old time vessels. Seamanship is so seldom used in the modern vessels that it is looked upon more as a hindrance than an aid. The training of cadets is many of the larger steamships makes steamship officers of them, and they enter upon their officers' duties with only a book knowledge of steamship in sailing vessels. The state training ship, according to the old salts, gives youth in aspirants to a sea life a practical knowledge of seamanship, and for this reason most of the old sailors are stand advocates of a nautical school for boys. The plan has been worked out successfully in the east, and recent from California state that effort is being made by the Calif. seamen to secure a state training ship for San Francisco. The training station for boys at G. stand falls to meet the requirements of the merchant service, according to most captains, as the boys are trained for naval work, which practises them for the merchant sea. In the American merchant today there are compass American sailors. Most of are recruited from English sailing ships the American ports. By large wages paid in Am and especially in the coast the men are able to make three times as much as of their own nationality. Among sailors the Are known as supplying while the English ships are known as "hungry ships Another point advance the school ship is that a tendency to increase American sailors and TOGA FOR BLIND MAN EIGHTLESS ORATOR OF OKLAHOMA MAY BE SENATOR. Rich Aspirants for Nomination Are Since Tracked for Him—Career of Remarkable Politician—A Lawyer by Profession. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Totally blind early youth, yet able to discuss political situation and to win democratic nomination for United States Senator in the recent Oklahoma Thomas P. Gore, of Lawton, looked upon as one of the most reasonable men in the southwest. The action is regarded as almost certain. Gore was opposed for the nomination by two men of wealth, one of whom spent a small fortune advertising and organization work. For people in the proposed state believed that "the blind orator" would make even a respectable showing in the primaries. But, while others were speculating on results, Gore was making a grass root" campaign, speaking personally to nearly every farmer and laborer man in the two territories. To get the necessary means to travel over the state he placed a mortgage on his home at Lawton, staking all the results of the primaries. Gore will. If elected, be the first bond man to occupy a seat in congress. At the age of eight he lost his left eye, a playmate accidentally stalking him with a stick; and at the age of 11 he lost the other eye through being hit by an arrow. Notwithstanding this affliction, Mr. Gore is a man of superior education and is noted as an orator. He was born 36 years ago in what is now Winter county, Miss., and at the time that he became blind he was passed in the Mississippi state senate and voted at the house of United States Senator J. Z. George. From that time until he reached the age of 18 Mr. Gore studied at home, his mother and sister instructing him and reading to him. His favorite book was 18 loves of Self-Made Men."

Schwab to Spend Honeymoon in $5,000,000 Mansion. New York—The 18-year-old bride of Prof. Edward H. Schwab, brother of Charles M. Schwab, said just after her marriage: "We won't travel in my brother-in-law's private car, because it will not be in keeping with our future life. It will be the simple life we will lead." The young professor—he is only 23—and the girl, who first met while she was studying at Notre Dame, will begin their "simple life" in one of the most gorgeous palaces in New York, a magnificent French mansion with gardens, huge wrought iron palings, locked gates and army of servants, which the steel magnate built on Riv D.

The bridegroom's brother has tuned the $5,000,000 house over to them for their exclusive use during their honeymoon. The private rooms of the professor and his bride, on the second floor, are decorated with the painting "Awakening of Cupid." Behind each bedroom is a Louis XVI. dressing room, such as the bride never dreamed of in planning her "simple life." The ceiling of the bride's dressing room is decorated with "The Toilet of Cupid." When they breakfast vis-a-vis in this $5,000,000 haven for simple life honeymooners, they will gaze upon specially woven tapestries, representing "Diana Preparing for the Hunt," and the service, all of which is especially designed in keeping with the French period, will give them the quintessense of simplicity. While only two blocks from the whirling subway, the Schwab home, like the chateaux of Azay Rideau; Bilols and Chinonceaux, from which different parts were taken, is as isolated as though a feudal lord's archers waited to keep intruders at bay. The amusements of the young people may be varied without stirring out of doors, for if they like swimming there is the magnificent natatorium and gymnasium, and if they like billiards, there is the billiard room. It is understood that the bride and bridegroom will occupy the mansion for two months, and then will return to South Bend, Ind. FOR SPAIN'S ROYAL INFANT.

German Inventor Said to Have Solved the Pulp Problem. Berlin.—The problem of providing for the enormous consumption of paper caused by the immense number of newspapers and books published in our time, which cannot possibly be supplied much longer with the material manufactured from wood pulp, has practically been solved, it is declared, by a German engineer named Drewsen, who has invented a process through which all kinds of paper can be made out of cornstalks. The new process provides for the removal of the outside covering and the making of the marrow into pulp, with which paper of the finest quality can be manufactured at a cost much lower than the wood pulp process at present in use. Owing to the large quantity of corn raised in every country of the world, it is predicted that the new process will provide the world with all the paper it needs if the supply of wood should become exhausted. New York.—Four hundred and ninety-eight deaths were reported to the coroner's office in June. According to the monthly report of Chief Clerk Jacob E. Bausch, 236 were due to violence or accident, the remaining 262 being sudden deaths due to natural causes. Of the deaths by violence or accident 52 were homicides and 29 were suicides. Thirty-nine bodies were found floating in the rivers. Sixteen persons were killed by carriages or wagons, 15 by the street railways and three by automobiles. Texas Hotels Get Longer Sheets.

GILLESPIE B. ANDERSON, The funeral services of G. B. Anderson, a resident of this District the past thirty years, a native of Richmond,Virginia, was held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church last Thursday. Deceased at the time of his death was a trusted employee of the Pullman Car Company, having served faithfully and efficiently in its service over twenty-five years. Prior to this service he had been for many years in the employ of the government. His death was untimely and tragic, having been killed in the car yards of the Pennsylvania Raiload at Jersey City, presumably by accident, his body having been found upon one of the tracks of that company, his gripsack near him, his head crushed and face bruised in numerous places. It is surmised that in attempting to alight from his "observation car," upon reaching its destination, he accidentally fell, and probably became unconscious, either dying from shock or was struck by a passing train. It appears peculiarly singular that no person has been found to have witnessed the accident, notwithstanding it occurred in a vicinity surrounded by thousands of persons traveling at all hours. Deceased must have been killed at any early hour—it is said, between nine and ten o'clock—nevertheless, it seems that no one witnessed the accident. It is further said that Anderson's body was found accidentally by a "track-walker." Deceased was well and favorably known, both within the District and throughout the county. His activities were many. Both in church and Sunday school work he was most zealous and efficient, having served as superintendent of the Sunday school of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church four successive terms. He was also a great racial man, and took an active part in all matters pertaining to the welfare and interest of the Afro-American. The funeral services at the church were under the immediate direction of Rev. Edgar E. Ricks, vice the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor in charge, who was unavoidably absent from the city. The services were conducted in the following order: Hymn No. 591, from the Baptist Hymnal, "Lo what glorious sight appears." After which Dr. Gar- 1907.

Eulogistic remarks by Rev. Dr. Howard, of Zion Baptist Church, South Washington, and the Rev. Mr. Jasper. After which the Rev. Mr. Ricks preached the funeral sermon, selecting as a text the 29th chapter of Chronicles, 15th verse. After the remains were borne from the church, remarks from among the large number of friends and sympathizers were constantly heard, and which varied but little, as follows: "In the death of Anderson the race has lost one of the best and most devoted and most loyai men." Deceased married into an old and distinguished family of this District,the Thorinstonis. He leaves a widow and three sons to mourn his loss. Interment in Harmony Cemetery.
