Odd-Fellows DAVIS AND HOWZE CASES BE FORI SUB - COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT - L McHEN- WILFS - SUK Philadelphia, Pa., July 21. Well, I am in the City of Brotherly Love, I arrived here about 8.45 p.m. I met my friend Henry on the train, and had a pleasant chat with him. I commended at the residence of Mrs. Robert A. Baxter, 726 South Seventeenth street, on my arrival. I did not remain indoors very long, because I wanted to meet the politicians of the G. W. O. of O. F. I first stopped at 520 South Eleventh street, where the representatives of the Alabama and Georgia contingents were. They were all happy and contented. The colored men in the company were my friend Howze, who looks like the Haitien Hypolyte; Editor Ben, Davis, of the Atlanta Independent; Douglass, who doesn't care whether the sun gives heat or whether the moon shows herself or not. Ben Johnson is here also, as the legal adviser. Ben doesn't worry about events at all. He is a matter-of-fact man, and takes the world as he finds it. My friend Crenshaw, the politician in the Southern fraternity, has a great head. He sees a long distance, and had his advice and directions been strict. As I looked the entire Alabama matter would have been settled in twenty-five minutes. Land that a deep-laid conspiracy was conceived against the Howze and Davis combination in Alabama and Georgia. There are a few members of the subcommittee of management who are influenced by prejudice against Mr. Howze, Editor Davis, of the Independent, and Grand Treasurer, has his case well in hand and intends to make a bold fight if any attempt is made to depose him. The committee is satisfied that any attempt to expel Grand Director Davis will cause an immediate revolution in the order. Grand Master Howze is being strongly backed, and Alabama will stand by him if the sub-committee of management attempts to carry out any revolutionary methods. Grand Master Houston has been fully advised of the serious charges against this man, that it is alleged that the subcommittee of management is endeavoring to place in power over Mr. Howze.Men in high official circles have been charged with being parties to this deal An expose of the circumstances in the Alabama case shows up one of the most diabolical deals in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows that has ever been attempted in the order The action of the sub-committee Monday was rather reprehensible The committee convened at 10.30 and took up a case of minor importance, which consumed nearly all day. About 4.30 the Alabama and Georgia cases were taken up. The entire proceedings were farcical to the extreme. This committee is dominated by ex-Grand Master Ed. Morris, of Chicago. He has no business or right in the subcommittee of management, but he put himself down as prosecutor in these two cases. There is no law in the Odd Fellows Manual that gives him the authority to act as prosecutor of any member. The Grand Master seems to be guided by his legal (?) exposition of the law. So much so that the order has been involved in a suit by Mr. J. McHenry Jones. While waiting for the Alabama and Georgia cases to be called, the sub-committee of management was served with a copy from the Court of Pennsylvania or a suit filed against it for twenty thousand dollars and a mandamus. When Attorney Morris saw the copies given to each member of the committee his eyes grew three times the size they are. Morris, in his attitude, is killing Grand Master Houston. James F. Needham and Morris are the dictators and their attitude will eventually kill Houston. Houston doesn't seem to see the politics of these two men. The sentiment of the OddFellows of the country is against Morris and Needham. The removal of Davis and Howze will destroy the oragnization. Grand Master Houston was told that it made no difference what action the sub-committee took, the Odd Fellows of Alabama intend to sustain Howze. The new Odd Fellows Hall that is in course of erection at a cost of one hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars is a gigantic fraud upon the Odd Fellows of America. The building is THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library about 20 by 80 feet, five stories high. This building is condemned by the Odd Fellows as being a gigantic fraud. I find that there is a growing sentiment to remove the headquarters of the order to Washington city. It makes no difference what action the sub-committee of management takes, the people of the South intend to stand together. It is well known that Edward Morris has always been inimical to Editor Davis. It will be remembered that Morris offered a resolution at the last B. M. C., striking at Editor Davis, which was roundly condemned by the entire South. Grand Master Houston is being killed by his supposed friends. They are leading him to the slaughter. A man who has such a brilliant career to face at this time is to be regretted. Mr. Houston, it is believed, wants to give the square deal, but his satellites will not permit him. He is being ill-advised, as can be plainly seen. It was this bad advice given the Sub-committee that has caused a suit to be filed and a mandamus against this committee. There will certainly be a revolution in this great order, which has been brought on by selfish and designing politicians. Graft of the most damaging character has been charged ni the Alabama case. Editor Davis is in possession of facts that should be known to the order, and there is no doubt that he will make them known. One speaking for the sub-committee admitted that the Howze element in Alabama was right, but just how the committee could get out of the muddle without humiliation he didn't know. I shall give the entire deal and facts in the next issue. I have met several of my old friends. Editor Asbury is doing well. He looks well and hearty. There are quite a number of Wash- ingtonians in town. W.C.C. SUB-COMMITTEE ON MANAGEMENT. The following are the Grand Officers and sub-committee of management of the G. W. O. of O.

The citizens of this city are very anxious to see such a man a member of the Excise Board as Mr. John W. McGaw, one of the most thorough business men in this city. Mr. McGaw is a man who as a level head as well as a judicial mind. His appointment as a member of the Excise MR. JOHN E. McGAW. Board would meet the approval of the people. What the people are mostly in need of in the Excise Board is a man who is in sympathy with them and the property of all the people. His knowledge of real estate and whiskey licenses should be granted, and where and what the property interest, in this city, is in need of, at this time, should be given to a man who is qualified for the place, and no better man can be found than Mr. McGaw. When the next vacancy occurs, it is hoped that the Commissioners will consider the name of this well-known citizen. What I Saw And Heard PARAGRAPHIC NEWS There will be a few investigations of certain supervising principals. It is so strange after you have reformed some people how immaculate they become, especially when they want to care for relatives. I am free to admit that there are some people imposed upon. If you permit them a little privilege they will soon depose you and endeavor to run things the way they desire. Prof. R. T. Greener has decided to remain quiet for a while. He is thoroughly convinced that the administration will see its error in his recall. Funny things happen sometimes. The League of Republican Clubs gave an outing last week. Republicans are as bad as some Democrats. The one is outspoken while the other will hide its villainy under a peck measure. The discrimination against prisoners in the cells of the police court is as bad as that at the workhouse. I see the two wagon loads of colored convicts each day going from and to the workhouse. 1 JUDGE J. C. PRITCHARD, OF JUDGE J. C. PRITCHARD, OF NORTH CAROLINA There is not a white man to be seen except there may be a white officer to accompany them. If you want to see the discrimination you should go to the workhouse, and then you will see all you desire. The school agitators have come to realize the fact that the day is fast approaching when there will be white teachers in the colored schools but no colored teachers in the white schools. I congratulate the principal or teacher in a school room that doesn't tattle. Such a teacher has the confidence and respect of a sensible supervisor. A tattler is a dangerous being in any community. A teacher that does his duty is entitled to respect and encouragement. Of course there are some people who love a tattler or informer. Both the tattler or informer and the person who listens are dangerous alike. The president of Howard University will not give audience to a tattler. The accused and the accuser must confront each other. Thus you see that tattling is broken up at this great institution. I would like to know who is the Recorder of Deeds, J. C. Dancy or Dutton. It seems to me to that all reports emanating from the recorder's office should travel under the name of the Recorder of Deeds and not his deputy. Mr. Dancy should see that such discontinues. Suppose the secretary to the District Commissioners publishes something, appearing that he authorized it instead of the Commissioners, how long would he hold his job? Fairplay. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE.

He asked many questions about the work, and stated that the raising of the lowly of our race up to a higher plane was a work that called for willing workers, and that he was glad to lend his mite. Mrs.-Fernandez feels and believes that if others will but follow the action of Mr. Tyler a great work can be done in reclaiming the wayward and ameliorating the condition of hundreds of the poor and unfortunate young of our race. The social settlement work can be, and ought to be, made a great means to a beneficial end. The work calls for volunteers, calls for men and women who are interested in the uplifting of the whole race. BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXCURSIONS. Sunday, July 28, $1.00 to Harper's Ferry, Charlestown and Winchester and return. Train leaves Washington at 9.05 A. M. Judge PritchardIs Firm PRISONERS RELEASED PRISONERS RELEASED. Asheville, N. C., July 22.—The penalty clause of the new State Rate Bill was declared unconstitutional and void by United States Judge Pritchard today. James H. Wood, district passenger agent of the Southern, and C. Wilson, ticket agent of the same road, who were recently sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for violation of the law, were discharged on habeas corpus proceedings. In his decision Judge Pritchard said that the penalties inflicted by the statute would close the doors to a judicial hearing, and would amount to two and a half million dollars a day if the penalty was enforced on the sale of each ticket, which is eight times more than the amount involved in the original suit. Also that it would do violence to the comity which exists between the State and Federal courts. While not imputing any improper motives to officials or State courts, Judge Pritchard remarked that if such a course of conduct was permitted to be pursued it would have the effect of defeating the jurisdiction of the United States courts. 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 would thrill Dr. W. S. Richardson, who was elected president of the Wholesale Drug Exchange at its last meeting in this city, a few weeks ago, is one of the best-known druggists in the country. He conducts one of the best and largest stores at 310 4 1-2 street, southwest, in this city and does a flourishing business. Indeed his store reminds one of an up-to-date wholesale house, with the number of clerks he employs. If there is any drug or medicine that is not found in this store, then it can not be gotten in Washington. His remedies for colds, rheumatism and aggravating coughs are of his own preparation; and they are found in nearly every drug store in this country. The doctor is a great friend to the masses, and hundreds of prescriptions during the year are filled free for those who are too poor to pay. This and many other kind acts of his have won for him the friendship of thousands of the best citizens of both races. Dr. W. S. Richardson was born in Vermont, and was educated there in the public schools. After graduating from which he entered college, where he graduated in pharmacy. He then came to Washington and engaged in the drug business, where he has made great success for twenty-two years, and now carries on one of the largest businesses of is kind in the city. He was one of the DR. W. S. RICHARDSON. candidates for delegates to the National Republican Convention, but was unsuccessful. His friends are now suggesting him as a member of the Republican National Committee for the District, and it is very likely that he will be named for the place in such event. It is probable that his friends will again insist on sending him to the National Convention. He is a Republican and is not afraid to pull off his coat and work for his friends. He would make an ideal National Committeeman. Keep your eye on the Southern star In Colonial Times (GAVOTTE) Frederic A. Franklin JEWS PLAN UNIQUE BANK.

In Ten Years There Have Been 4,411,212 Deaths—Mortality Increasing. London.—During the first three and a half months of 1907 the deaths from the plague in India totalled 494,000, the heaviest monthly mortality yet reported during the epidemic. According to the Indian World this would appear to show that the present year will exhibit a record number of deaths. The plague records for the ten years October, 1896, to December, 1906, show that there was a large annual increase from 1901 to 1904, the deaths numbering 274,000 in 1901, 577,000 in 1902, 570,000 in 1903 and 1,022,000 in 1904, the worst year in ten years. There was a small decrease in 1905, the deaths falling to 951,000, and a large decrease in 1906, when there were only 332,000. The total deaths for the whole ten years numbered 4,411,212. The improvement which was shown in the two years 1903 and 1906 has not, unfortunately, been maintained. From the first appearance of the disease up to the year 1901 the mortality was greatest in the Bombay presidency, but from 1902 onward, with one exception, the worst area has been the Punjab, and in 1905 the deaths in the latter province alone numbered 364 625.

OLD SAILORS PASSING YOUNGER GENERATION OF MARINERS DEPLORE FACT.. State That "Steamer Made Seamen" Lack in Nautical Knowledge and Are Not Equipped as Officers. 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 ED. • PINAUD'S HAIR successful captains are quired their knowledge in the older vessels. Seamanship is so solidly used the modern vessels that is built upon more as a hindrance than a aid.

The state training ship, accou to the old salts, gives youthful ants to a sea life a practical edge of seamanship, and for this son most of the old sailors are advocates of a nautical school boys.

In the American merchant main to-day there are comparatively American sailors. Most of the seamen are recruited from English, German and French sailing ships at coast the American ports. By reason of the large wages paid in American ships and especially in the coasting trade the men are able to make from two three times as much as in the ship of their own nationality.

Guthrie, Okla — Miss Kate Barnhard, of Oklahoma City, has received the Democratic nomination for the first state commissioner of charities and corrections without opposition. It is quite possible also that her election may be as great a triumph as her nomination; as there is a strong movement among the Republicans to bring out no candidate in opposition to her, but to make her election unanimous, in recognition of the work she has done for the children and the friendless ones of the new state. Miss Barnhard is a native of Nebraska, but has lived in Oklahoma for Hammad L. MISS KATE BARNARD. (Girl Who Will Hold Office in Oklahoma State.) 15 years, all of that time in Oklahoma City, and was educated at St. Joseph's academy there. She was employed in clerical capacities in the last two Oklahoma legislatures, and out of 491 applicants, she received the appointment under Gov. Ferguson to represent Oklahoma at the St. Louis exposition. She also organized the Relief and Emergency association among the society young women of Oklahoma City. Later her work was given official recognition by both the chamber of commerce and the Ministerial association of that city, and she was placed at the head of the Oklahoma City Provident association, a position which she still holds. When the constitutional convention was in session in Oklahoma City she went before it and made a forceful and effective plea for the two things for which she was laboring—the enactment of provisions for compulsory education and the prevention of child labor. Both provisions were embodied in the constitution. MINT CHIEF TO HEAD BANK. Director Roberts Quits Federal Job For Chicago Position. Chicago.—George E. Roberts, for seven years director of the mint, will be successor to the late James H. Eckels as president of the Commercial National bank. It has been officially announced that he will resign his position under the government to take charge of the institution. This decision was reached after a conference in New York between Mr. Roberts and Franklin MacVeagh, chairman of the board of directors of the bank. Mr. Roberts is one of the leading men of finance in the country. He is M. GEORGE E. ROBERTS.

One reason why so few are ready to stand forth when Fate has taken her measuring, tape in hand is, that the belief very generally obtains that it is "natural" for one to stay where his father has stayed, to do the things her mother has done, to walk along paths worn smooth by familiar feet. But in countless cases nothing is more unnatural than the supposed-to-be natural.—The Delineator. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO ITS. Street For Hire-St.oz. Julius Cohen. 1004 7th street. N. W. ST.

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. 52 Gotham Murders In Month. 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.

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.

WOODRUFF, OF NEW YORK "THE GREAT REPUBLIC." The caption of an address delivered by ex-Governor George W. Atkinson before the Moundsville (West Virginia) Chautauqua Assembly, July 6, was "The Great Republic." In speaking of the Negro, the ex-Governor stated, as Dr. Washington stated in a speech to which The Bee calls the attention of its readers, that the Negro was brought to this country without his will, etc. He is right when he says this. Again the ex-Governor says: "He cannot be deported." "He should not be deported." "He is a citizen." "He is a man." "He must be reckoned with." "He cannot be ignored." "It is claimed that he is inferior to the white brother. True; many of his race are, and yet many of them, so far as education and real ability are concerned as standards, are not." The distinguished gentleman says further that "No longer can it be truthfully claimed that the Negro as an individual is in any sense an inferior personage." "Give equal opportunities, and the Negro will take his chances with his white brother and bide results in any reasonable contest." If the Negro had the same confidence in himself as ex-Governor Atkinson has in him, what great individuals would exist among them! The ex-Governor has great faith in the possibilities of the colored Americans. He believes that time, patience and a square deal will solve the great question. If we had white men in this country like ex-Governor Atkinson, the condition of the colored Americans in his country would never be questioned. The Bee wants every true American to read read this speech, or the following excerpts from his speech, and say to themselves, if he is not the kind of a man the people want in the White House, in the event Senator Foraker is not successful. We need to support men who are human as well as brave. GOVERNOR ATKINSON. GOVERNOR ATKINSON. My friends, I believe firmly that time, patience and "a square deal" will save the Negro people. No one pretends to claim that the Negroes as a race are equal to the Anglo-Saxon as a race. A race of people in bondage for centuries ought not to be regarded as if its subjects had been, all that time, upon an Anglo-Saxon basis, and especially is such comparison unjust when they have been allowed freedom for only about forty years, with piecemeal opportunities for education handed out to them in those sections where they are most numerous, and where practically nearly all of the "superior race" still regard them as serfs and slaves. Don't hang them, without judge or jury. Don't burn them at the stake. Don't spit upon them merely because their skins are black. God made them so. Don't regard them as brutes. Give them a chance to work out their own destinies. Educate them. Try to make men of them. They are susceptible of development. Their skins, it is true, are black, but their hearts, in most instances, are white. The more they are educated, the whiter they appear to those that are interested in their welfare, and the more useful they become to their kindred and associates. The higher up they go in education, the cleaner will be their bodies and their shirts, and the farther they will get away from the idea, that because they are freemen, they are as good or better than their white neighbors and associates. I do not believe in "social equality," nor do I believe in "Jim Crow" railroad cars, nor in prescription of any sort. I am an American, and I firmly believe in the American doctrine of giving every one a "square deal," whether his skin is black, or red, or yellow, or white. My belief today is, that in the proportion that the education of the colored people goes up, race prejudice and race intolerance will go down. It seems to me that if we are half-way honest, half-way fair, and half-way reasonable and just, as the dominating power in our Republic, the Negro problem, in the United States, will solve itself. If our people can work themselves up to the view point of common fairness, and will set their feet vigorously upon race prejudice, not only in the South, but everywhere, then "Judge Lynch" will himself be lynched, and our laws which were made for the protection of all classes, will be universally respected; and the more they are-respected, the more vigorous will they be enforced. I have no sympathy with or respect for the man or men who preach the false doctrine that the laws of the land were not made for the protection of the black race as well as the white. We read in the 17th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and at the 20th verse these words: "And (he) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath determined the time before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation." Upon this platform I have always stood in the past, and upon it I shall continue to stand in the future, "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish." Mr. Lincoln concluded his great speech at Cooper Institute, New York City, February 27, 1860, in these memorable words, which should be heeded now: "Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that might makes right, and in that faith, let us to the end, dare to do our duy as we understand it." Pardon me, my friends, for adding that utterance of our greatest of all Americans, will live as long as the Republic endures, and I do not hesitate to say that it deserves to live forever. THE NEGRO AND WASHINGTON. In a stenographically reported speech delivered by Prof. Booker T. Washington, delivered at Nashville, Tenn., March 29, 1907, to the faculty and members of the theological department of Vanderbilt University and ministers, he stated among other things, that the "Negro was forced into this country against his will." No truer words have ever fallen from the lips of any man than the above. This speech is full of wholesome and sound advice. This is one among the many speeches that should be read by every American in this country. It must be admitted that Dr. Washington gives one good advice at times, and the advice that he gives in this speech, if heeded, would certainly be of service to everybody. It is true that the colored man was brought to this country against his will. It is also true that the two races will live in peace and happiness in the South one of these days. The supposed friends of the colored race are responsible for the ill-feeling existing between the two races in the South. It is believed as Dr. Washington states that the white man of the South will eventually live side by side in harmony with the colored man. Why should they not? He can certainly be trusted. He is obedient and if he is fairly treated The Bee is confident that he will be loyal and true. In speaking of the recent race riot in Atlanta Dr. Washington stated that a gentleman of much prominence had charged the students of the colored colleges with being guilty of hiding colored criminals in that riot. He readily and manfully refuted the charge and declared that no college of color was in session during the progress of that riot. How often are the col- ured people charged. with offenses of which they are not guilty? The Bee believes, and in fact it knows, that the time has come for the colored press to dispute the many false charges that are made against him. The Nashville speech is worth reading. It is a masterpiece of oratory. GOING MAD. There are some white people going mad on the color question. It seemed to have struck them as a 'isease has struck some nations. The citizens' association of Brookland filed a protest last week with the Commissioners, opposing the building of a schoolhouse for the accommodation of colored children. The protest is that it is too near and it should be erected on Bunker Hill road or some other hill. This color fever is having a dangerous effect on some white people. This objection arises among the "poor white trash." The most refined and educated white people, no matter to what political party they belong or their faith, make no objection to responsible and respectable colored people. It will be a fearful thing if these poor white people happen to find no color line down in he. The Bee is of the opinion that the white people who are intelligent would have no objections in the least drinking from the same cup that his colored brother drinks from. There is another strong thing. Hundreds of white people in this city leave every summer for Harpers Ferry, W. Va., and go lodging. Camp Hill is occupied from the beginning of school term by colored students, and these very same white people will go to Harpers Ferry every summer and occupy the self-same beds and sleep under the self-same sheets, that have been used by the colored students, and yet these white people object to having a colored school fifty feet away from them. Where is the white man's consistency? JIM CROW RELIGION. In religion as well as in everything else there is a great deal of "Jim Crowism." The white Young Men's Christian Association that claims to serve the same God that the colored Young Men's Christian Association claims to serve has consented to support or give aid to its colored annex, provided that it remains separate and distinct. Just why intelligent colored men will legalize themselves to a separate institution is surprising to intelligent people. This action is placing the stamp of inferiority upon a certain race in this city that is objected to on account of color. Now if such acts were perpetrated by ignorant people there would be some excuse. The heads of this "Jim Crow" annex are all highly educated men. Many of them are the equals if not the superiors of the whites intellectually. It seems to The Bye that the more intelligent the young colored man gets the greater are the blunders he commits and more foolish are some of his acts. The Bee believes in that religion that knows but one God, one worship and as many churches as may exist, but it doesn't believe in that religion that the white Christians follow—a separate worship. There is too much "Jim Crow" religion and religious hypocrisy among the white Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists. The Bee wonders if there will be a "Jim Crow" department in h—l! If the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America don't call an immediate halt in their sub-committee of management the order will be in a demoralized condition. That alleged one hundred and twenty thousand dollar building that is alleged to be in course of erection is a gigantic farce. A building of the same size and dimensions can be erected in this city for at least twenty-five thousand dollars. Already there is a great deal of dissatisfaction, and at any moment the order is liable to be thrown into a demoralized condition. Grand Master Houston is being slaughtered by those who are ambitious for his place, and if he will take the advice of those who are sincere and wish him success he will eventually come out on top. Just as certain as he follows the advice of those who have personal axes to grind he will be defeated and disgraced in the next B. M. C. His pretended friends are plotting his destruction, and he should retrace his steps before it is too late. The Bee firmly and truly believes if he is let alone and follows his own convictions he will come out all right. The decision in the Alabama and Georgia cases will appear next week in full. WHY JIM CROWED? It does seem strange to the intelligent, refined and educated citizen why another class is Jim Crowed. Some people say it is because a certain class will not use water and soap more freely. Why should this argument hold to a certain class? There are others in the more fortunate classes who are as much in need of plenty of soap and water as the more despised individual. The Bee knows from personal contact, that is to say, persons of the more fortunate classes have been seated upon cars dressed in the height of fashion, but, Of what have we experienced? So it can be seen that it is not the color of a person's skin that should make him objectionable as much as it is the uncleanliness of his person. While it may be true that more of the unfortunate classes are guilty of the offense, yet when the law of Jim Crowism is applied, it should cover all classes, no matter what their nationality may be. MR. JOHN W. McGAW. The appointment of Mr. McGaw as member of the Excise Board would be hailed with delight by the people in this city. He is a man of great good judgment, and it, is evident that he would give all applicants a "square deal." PRESS COMMENTS. One of the prettiest parties of the season was given June 12 by the Twentieth Century Knights, a club composed of the younger set of men, in honor of Miss Vivian Lucile Thompson, who leaves in company with her mother for Washington, D. C., to join her father, Mr. R. W. Thompson, for future residence. About two dozen responded to invitations for a good-bye party from 5 to 10. The boys in black and the girl in white and dainty pinks and blues made Odd Fellows' Hall look like a veritable flower garden. An impromptu program was rendered during the evening, interspersed with dancing, games and toasts. Mrs. Bessie C Jones and Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson chaperoned the party of young people. The officers of the club are: Willis Miles, president; George Miles, secretary; Robert Knight, treasurer. Atlanta, Ga.—Our people in the State of Georgia are sparing no pains to protect their rights. It is probable that the State Legislature will try to pass a lay which will have for its object the disfranchisement of a large portion of the Afro-American people. Of course, before this becomes a law, it will have to be submitted to the votes of the people of Georgia. To meet the issue meetings are now being held in different parts on Georgia for the purpose of urging our people to pay taxes and register, so as to be prepared when the proper time comes. In this way they hope to be able to engineer a large vote against the measure in case it is submitted to the people. Several important meetings have been held in the city of Atlanta recently. In making a canvass to find out just where we stand in the matter of votes in Georgia we have been surprised very much to find that many of our most prominent men, who talk a great deal of voting, are not on the voting list, because they have not paid their poll tax and are not registered. Among them are Prof. Dubojs and Mr. L. M. Hershaw, Both of these men spend a great deal of time discussing the ballot, and you can imagine the surprise of our people when they found out a few days ago that neither Prof. Dubois nor Mr. Hershaw had even paid their poll tax, and neither of their names was down as a registered voter. Any man who wishes to do so can pay his poll tax and register in the State of Georgia. There is no reason why these two men should not set an example in this respect to our people. JUST WHAT WE WOULD LIKE From the Freeman. W. Calvin Chase is eligible to a front seat in the church of modern thought and methods. He was an eager participant in the proceedings of the Afro-American Council at Baltimore, is a consistent friend of the higher education as exemplified at Howard University, and subscribes heartily to the industrial training as carried on by Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee. From the Atlanta Independent. Capt. Judson W. Lyons, formerly Register of the United States Treasury, while enroute to Washington, was painfully hurt in a wreck on the Southern J. G. Railroad at Richland, S. C., last Thursday. His many friends throughout the South will rejoice to know that his injuries were not serious, and hope that he will soon be circulating among them again. TO UNIONIZE NEGRO COOKS. Nashville, Tenn., special.—Labor agitators from Chicago are here for the purpose of organizing a union among the Negro cooks of Nashville. The objects of the movement are to secure more money, shorter hours and Sundays off. THE ODD FELLOWS IN ALABAMA. From the Birmingham Reporter. The G. U. O. of O. F. in Alabama will get down to serious business next week, beginning Monday, July 22. The rebellious spirit will meet the supreme body and give an account of their stewardship in Alabama. Some say that expulsion of some of the brothers is sure. The Reporter feels if the law is worth anything some serious things will happen. We hope, however, that the S. C. M. will use its best judgment in handling the men, and it has in the past, and we feel that the G. U. O. of O. F will be perpetual in the grand old State of Alabama. We only ask for what is duly ours, and that is justice to the subordinates. For this we will forever advocate From the Birmingham Wide-Awake. The people have won! Hon. C. A. Howze and his executive board smote the enemies of the people in hip and thigh, and regained the honor given them by the people. Judge Benners of the Chancery Court dissolved the injunction, sustaining the contention of the regular District Grand Lodge officers. On the 31st day of May, Johnson, Breeding, Jackson and others petitioned the court of chancery, praying that C. A. Howze, District Grand Master of District Grand Lodge No. 23, G. U. O. of O. F. of Alabama, H. A. Knox, Endowment Secretary, R.-L. Douglass; Treasurer; P. J. Crenshaw, D. D. G M; H. S. Chadwick, Grand Secretary, and T. W. Owens, Grand Director, be restrained from using the title of their respective offices or in any way exercising the function thereof, which was temporarily granted. Prior to the issuing of the injunction the Howze administration was paying off the claims of the widows and orphans of the loyal Odd Fellows as fast as they could get to them, and was making an average monthly distribution to those to whom it was due of more than $2,500. The other fellows, who, according to the decision of the court, were laying false claims to the offices, were not then nor now paying one five cents to the widows or orphans for endowment, though we have been informed that some 25 or 30 are depending on receiving their $500 from them. God still reigns and the people rule. Truth though crushed to earth shall rise again. We have just read W Calvin Chase on the Negro editor. Brother Chase draws a pen picture of the Negro editor and sums him up as a cowardly sycophant without views, truckling for favors. Brother Chase remarks that the Negro editor will take a position today and recede from it tomorrow if it will serve his purpose. Forgives the wrongs and pardons the infamy heaped upon his race for the hope of reward. He tells you to be patient with the wolves that devour you. Brother Chase sums up by sizing up the average Negro editor as an opinionless coward with a price upon his head. The Independent quite agrees with Col. Chase in his cisions and indorses what he says when elaborates that there are only about half dozen Negro editors in the case who have opinions of their own and moral courage to express them, in quite true, too, as Brother Chase times, that these few who who to express opinions of their own make legitimate criticism of the officials, are called detectives of charter and fighters of ever body and everything. The Negro editor in country has the moral courage stand up give expression to me views the hard row to travel.

TROUBLE TO BREW. Philadelphia, July 6.—If the so-called "colored Elks" of Philadelphia permits wearing antlers, elks' teeth, and a insignia of the Benevolent and Proactive Order of Elks during the gov't convention here July 15-20, it is prela that they will hasten a legal battle will undoubtedly be authorized by Grand Lodge. Moreover, it is likely that any tatious display on the part of the ored Elks" may provoke violence the Elks, both North and South, been greatly annoyed by the main order, and the Southern delegates particular might make a personal of it if they were to see a Negro ing emblems of the order. For the last eighteen months they have been busy disclaiming any tion with the "Improved Benevolent Effective Order of Elks of the West which is the name the Negroes hatt en to their organization. In some clandestine manner the groes have actually succeeded in hold of some of the ritualistic work the Elks, patterning the rans in ceremony after it. Although a chief reason, this was one of the sons that prompted the Elks to a new ritual, which went into effect January. So persistently have they endeared to provoke a conflict that in many laws have been passed making it offense to appropriate by the signa of a secret well. Such a was passed by the Pennsylvania as its last. This law affects Negro well as Negro Elks. In several other States laws have been passed, been brought, resulting of the rights order of Elks and the imitation Negro order JOINS JUGULAR VEIN. Dr. A. W.

Rise of Galbraith Church—Order and Method—Fine Auxiliaries—Popular No colored minister at the capital of the Nation, where more talented men in all of the various avocations of the age gather than in any other city in the country, has gained more popularity among all classes in the short period of five years than Rev. S. Morrison, D.D., pastor of Galbraith A. MoZion Church, Sixth street north and 11 streets northwest. Born in Galbraith, which during the administration of this wonderful preacher, has sprung from a church to the city of a church, and with the assistance of fourmen in the rank of commissioners of the churches, is the religious mission and other high commission of ecclesiastical dignitaries, as well as noted men and women of other religious churches. Corrothers is the image or Spurgeon of this mission. He preaches a purified mission of the Holy Ghost, and the blessings and fire which move the hearts of Christians and lift them in faith and happiness, which preaches of the hall-elejahs and shouts which so oft make the church ring with that connecting link between the militant and the triumphant Church.

COAL IS GIVING OUT. Son of Lord Leitrim Sald to Have HIGHEST HEAVEN LOCATED IN FAR AWAY STAR ALCYONE. Washington Preacher Who Said Hades Was in the Sun Makes Another Startling Discovery—Supreme Celestial Belings. Washington—"The third heaven, the highest of all, the abiding place of God, is on the star Alcyone, immeasurably larger than any other known body, larger than the sun so many times that to make an estimate is an exercise for the mathematician rather than the theologian. Hell is in the sun, and everything outside hell is either heaven or a part of the heavenly system." Rev. Zed Hertzel Copp, pastor of Bethany chapel, having thus located hell in the sun, is now willing to indicate in a general way where highest heaven may be found, also he is willing to locate in a general way where paradise and the ordinary or natural heavens may be found. "Paul says: 'He was taken up to the third heaven,'" said Mr. Copp, in explaining his addition to the geography of the supernatural regions, "and heard things not lawful for him to utter. He could not utter them because he could not find human expressions strong enough to convey his ideas. "There are three heavens: 'First, the actual heaven, the canopy above the earth. "Third, the heaven of heavens, or abiding place of Jehovah. "Scientists know that there is a planet or star around which all other stars and planets, including our own solar system, revolve. That is the star Alcyone, of the first magnitude as to size, and said to be thousands of times larger than any other known body. "God, the creator and law giver, naturally and religiously might be expected to have his abode in a central place from which to rule the rest of his creation. Alcyone is the greatest of his handiworks. It is no violence to suppose that the Deity is so nearly like his creature man as to show a preference for the greatest of his works, and make that his abiding place. "Now, as to the composition and social order of the highest heaven. Undoubtedly it is made of the finest materials; as fine as a combination of all the colors ever seen by the human eye and as pleasing to the senses as all the perfumes of earth and all the music of all the birds joined together. Inexpressibly beautiful, it may well be suggested that the stones we call gems on earth are but waste pieces from the celestial structure. "In this place the inhabitants are beings of the highest rank, but little lower than divinity itself, clothed with majesty, power, and learning. Earthly kings surround themselves with the best and noblest of their subjects. Is it a violent supposition that the divine king does likewise in the composition of his court? "For the second heaven, commonly called paradise, I have no precise location. That is the place to which the malefactor crucified at the same time as Christ went with the son of God. You remember Christ said, 'This day shall thou be with me in paradise.' Paradise is probably located outside the present solar system, but where, I have no idea. It is a state of rest, peace, joy, gladness, and contentment, where there is a literal return to communion with God, a restoration of man to his image as he left the hand of his creator, without any of the human frailties; a restoration to the original Adamitic stage. Going there brings a person into touch with all heavenly beings, from whom they learn wisdom and power as exemplified in themselves." PIGS AS DAIRY ROBBERS. Cow Secretly Adopts Invaders as Her Own Family. Doe Run, Pa.—Walter T. Wood, of this place, runs a dairy farm, where he has a herd of 31 cows. Among these are 15 which he raised himself, each of which gives a daily supply of from 40 to 60 pounds of milk. One evening recently, when the cows were brought into the stable, Mr. Wood noticed that one of them had little milk, and he made some observations the next day. In the barnyard he had eight shoats, weighing about 150 pounds each. It did not take long to solve the mystery as to the thieves of his milk. The largest shoat hunted out this particular cow, stood under her finally, and sucked the udder completely empty. Mr. Wood put the cow back into the stable, and the next day, when released into the yard, the shoat performed the same stunt. Other shoats learned the trick, and finally there were three of them. Mr. Wood then ran into the house for his camera. Mr. Wood got his pencil, after the picture had been made, and, figuring at four cents a quart for milk and $8.50 per 100 pounds for pork, he concluded that it was not a profitable transaction; so that the cow is now tled in her stable and the shoats have to go on skim milk. Canada's Big Population Gain. Ottawa, Ont.-The census and statistics department has figured out Canada's population up to April 1 last at 6,504,900, an increase of 1,133,386 in the last six years. Son of Lord Leltrim Sald to Have Served as Stoker on Steamer? New York.—According to Engineer Dobson of the steamer St. Louis, the titled Englishman who recently left his home and a life of ease to make his own way in the world and who started his career of labor by securing employment on the steamer St. Louis as a stoker, is Lord Francis Patrick Clements, the 22-year-old son of the late earl of Leitrim. The young man in carrying out his purpose, it is said, renounced his position as heir presumptive to the earldom and has also sacrificed the £40,000 a year income that goes with the title. The family has made every effort since the young nobleman left the family estate at Mulroy, County Donegal, Ireland, a month ago, to induce him to abandon his purpose, but in vain. He is now somewhere in this country earning his bread. Engineer Dobson describes the young nobleman as being of good stature and strong build. When he was hired as a stoker under the name of Sloane his real identity was unknown. On the first day out he was almost overcome by the hard shovelling, but after the first day he was as able as any of the other men to perform his work. He landed in New York with eight dollars in his pocket—his wages for the trip—the clothes on his back and hardened hands. What his plans were he told no one on board, except to say that he intended to get work in New York. Clements preserved his incognito all the way across. It was not until the ship returned to Southampton that the stokers through inquiries made by his relatives learned that they had been working side by side with a prospective earl. OIL KING 18 STAGED. John D. Rockefeller Shown as Hero In "The Almighty Dollar." New York.—John D. Rockfeller has been "staged," not in any uncertain manner and with an alias as in "The Vanderblit Cup" or "The Lion and the Mouse," but quite positively even down to his own name. James Havilland has done it in his vaudeville sketch called "The Almighty Dollar," and Havilland himself plays the part of the oil king. John D. is shown bewailing the fact that he has to sneak into his house like a thief in the night, dodging process servers. The door bell rings and he asks sharply, "What's that?" and then soliloquizes, "another of those idiotic reporters, I suppose, seeking my opinion on the next presidential campaign. Fools, fools, fools, it matters not who the man is or may be, he is ours, ours body and soul." Then he gets a note from a poor doctor who has been stung by the tainted money morbore and wants a few days more time on his $30,000 note. "Bosh!" scoffs John D, "the same old story. More time, more time, business is business, and a business man should not presume on a friendship," so it goes, but, though he is a hard-headed business man, this Rockefeller of the stage is made so kind hearted that he gives $30,000 for the rag doll of Little Liz, the angel waff, who once upon a time pulled his grandchild out of the ocean at Rockaway, and at the end Liz says, earnest like: "John D, dem noospaper guys who's allus knockin' you is a bunch of stiffs. U aint gof a hair on de top of 'yer nut, but I love yer—I love yer like h—ll." PRISON FOR THEFT OF SHROUD. Undertaker Sent to Jail for Burying Man In an Undershirt. Little Rock, Ark.-For the alleged theft of a shroud from a dead man and burying him in the scanty white undershirt furnished by the county hospital, despite the fact that the relatives had paid for the shroud, W. B. Jackson, an undertaker on West Ninth street, was fined $150 and sentenced to six months in jail. John Parnell died and his two sons arranged for the funeral. They asked Jackson how much he would charge to furnish their father with a coffin, a shroud and a grave. The price agreed upon was $25. When the day for the funeral came both brothers say they went to the Jackson undertaking rooms and there saw their dead parent, properly laid out in his coffin and dressed in a long black shroud. They made arrangements to return after dinner for the trip to the cemetery, and on leaving the parlor were warned by a woman, who said: "I hope Jackson won't treat your father like he did my son." The two men became suspicious and when the grave was reached they ordered the coffin opened. To this the driver objected, saying it was against Mr. Jackson's orders, but this only strengthened their suspicions. The brothers insisted, and finally the lid was removed. The black shroud had disappeared. The arrest of the undertaker followed. Sella Whiskers for $8. St. Louis.—"Old Man, Fritz," the German keeper of the golf links at the St. Louis Country club, has sold his crop of golden, silken whiskers for $8. It takes Fritz three years to grow such a crop of whiskers. To Circuit Judge Daniel G. Taylor Fritz confided that for many years he has been selling his whiskers to hairdressers, to whom they are valuable because of their color and fine texture. When they grow to his waist the old German cuts them off. ANTHRACITE GOING FAST, SAYS GOVERNMENT EXPERT. At Present Rate of Consumption Supply Will Last Only Seventy-Five Years—The Smoke Evil Problem. Washington.—"At our present rate of consumption, there will be no anthracite coal left in 75 years," says Edward W. Parker, the coal expert of the United States geological survey. "Hard coal will never be cheaper to consumers than it is now. The production of anthracite in 1906 was 63,645,010-tons. According to one coal expert the anthracite available for mining in 1901 was 4,765,216,750 tons. "From these figures evidently there is not enough anthracite coal in the country for power purposes in the large cities of the east," said Dwight T. Dandall, engineer in charge of smoke abatement, geological survey. "In 1905 New York city burned 9,000,000 tons of anthracite coal and 3,500,000 tons of bituminous. This ratio has already changed, and will continue until bituminous coal is in the ascendency. It is estimated that New York and Philadelphia are now using one-fifth of the total yearly production of anthracite. Thus it is seen that we must conserve the hard coal if we wish it to last any length of time." The insistence of eastern cities that manufacturers and others shall continue the use of anthracite coal instead of bituminous, in order to lessen the smoke nuisance, is a losing game, according to government experts. In spite of themselves, the large municipalities that have heretofore so largely used anthracite coal will soon have to come to the almost universal use of bituminous, for the United States has already reached the maximum of its yearly hard coal output, and from this time on the amount of anthracite mined will decrease year by year, and the price naturally will soar until this fund becomes an absolute luxury. "We have found it entirely feasible," said Mr. Randall, "to abate smoke in power plants, but it is next to impossible to stop it among residences burning soft coal. Therefore it would seem that the logical thing to do would be to utilize the rapidly waning supply of hard coal for the homes and use the soft coal in the factories and power houses. "The real problem before the east is the abatement of smoke from soft coal. New York is now showing that this can be done in the experiments conducted by the New York Edison company. "The burning of soft coal by improved methods in large central heating stations, in place of many small, poorly conducted plants, is one of the promised solutions. In several cities these mammoth plants have been installed and are doing good work. "Another method is to convert the fuel into gas and coke at a big plant, selling the gas and coke (both of which are smokeless) to the consumer. "Still another method is the establishment of great gas producers, gas engines and electric generators at the coal mines, the gas producers operating the engines and the latter in turn the generators, sending the electricity into the cities for power, light and heating purposes. Electricity can be sent in this manner 250 miles. It is also hoped that in the near future the railroads will use such power in operating their lines. This would do away with a big part of the smoke nuissance." TROUBLESOME SQUIRREL8. In Colorado Town They Destroy Birds' Nests and Gnaw Through Roofs Denver, Col.—Greeseley is contemplating organizing a squirrel hunt to rid the city of hundreds of squirrels which make their-home in Lincoln park and which destroy the eggs of the songbirds. Ten years ago Greeseley was the home of many linnets, wild canaries, mocking birds and robins, but only a few are seen now, and there are none left in the trees in the parks because of the depredations of the squirrels. Eight years ago some one brought two pairs of squirrels from the east and made houses for them in the park, where they and the progeny became great attractions. They have multiplied so fast, however, as to overrun the park and extend their nesting places to private grounds. In several cases they have gnawed through the roofs of houses in order to make nests in the garrets. At first it was believed that the English sparrow had driven away the other birds, but investigation proves that not-even a sparrow's nest can be found. The placing of the tini collars from eight to ten inches wide around every tree not in the park was suggested for the protection of the birds, but this will prove no remedy because of the ability of the squirrels to spring from one tree top to another. The talk of exterminating the squirrels has been going on for two years and people say they must go. Novel Umbrella Invented London.—The umbrella of a Vienna architect is a covering of silk or other material supported on the shoulders by means of two thin rods and a band across the chest. When not in use it folds into a very small space. The hands are left free, and the device is especially recommended for persons who sometimes work in raia, like architects, engineers and artists.

RAIL CHIEFS AT PLAY MASTERS OF GREAT SYSTEMS HAVE THEIR HOBBIES. Diversions Include Walking Tours, Fishing and Farming—Harriman Fund of Horses and Interested In Boys' Club. New York—How does the president great railroad play? Are his jobs as intense in their way as his responsibilities during business hours the questions were suggested when James McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, sailed for Europe in the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, or Mr. McCrea is on his way to land for a walking tour with two sons. His ideas of recreation are simple life contradict the popular notion of the masters of great railroad taking their vacations in luxurious travel in private cars, yachts buying pictures or finding relics in the gayeties of Newport, Boston or the capitals of Europe. His point to James J. Hill as the presentative railroad president of the country. He is still the leader of the East Great Northern enterprise, even though he has resigned the president to one of his sons. His vacations in the east consist of trips to Labrador on his ocean-going steam raft or fish for salmon. Friends of E. H. Harriman say that real or know him—if he can be fully known one must see him at play. To call street Mr. Harriman, the president of the Union Pacific, engineer of vast enterprises and master of finance, seems to be a slight, taciturn man with spectacles, a bushy mustache and a nervous manner, who has an infinite capacity for work and the ingenuity of a great general in planning surprises. His friends see quite a different man in private life. His love of the open and fine horses is expressed in Arden, his great estate in the Ramapo mountains, where Mr. Harriman spends a greater part of the year. The property comprises about 10,000 acres. The residence with a fitting wings and JAMES M'GREA. (President of Pennsylvania Railroad Who Takes Recreation in Walking.) glass enclosed verandas, forms a picture of home-like elegance. The best expressions of the owner's tastes, however, are found in the stock farm and rural improvements. The horses in the stables are of the finest for a gentleman's driving teams. Another interest amounts to a fad with him—a boys' club on the East side. He has been interested in the project about 30 years. The creation of the largest club of its kind in the world and plans for the happiness of thousands of poor youngsters—executed in a most unobtrusive way—are a constant source of recreation. George J. Gould is an extreme type of railroad president and sportsman combined. Always found of sports, Mr. Gould has engaged in a continuous round of sports since he grew up. Polo playing became his fad in 1895 and in this branch of sport he has been chiefly interested of late years. in striking contrast with these financiers is the austere, self-contained personality of George F. Baer, president of the Reading and New Jersey Central systems. Friends of this deliberate inclusive leader of capital in the Pennsylvania coal strikes say they see in him the stamp of his protestant German ancestors, not only in his business, but in his recreations as well. Mr Baer began life in Reading Pa in the heart of the "Pennsylvania Dutch" region. A student by nature, he is a lawyer by profession, a railroad president by evolution, and an agriculturist by taste. His country home Hawthorne, near Reading, has a fine library, and Mr. Baer deserves much of his time to historical research in his garden he is an authority on flowers, especially roses and chrysanthemums. He is also something of an authority on landscape gardening, and has planned a park system for Reading. Two miles from the city is a large farm, where Mr Baer spends most of his summers with his Alderney cattle, his bungalow on the edge of the Schuylkill river and a steam launch to carry him to town. L. Ripley, president of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe system, spends ten months of the year in Chicago his suburban home being at Riverside. Two months find him at his country home in Santa Barbara, Mr Ripley's fad is golf. He has even peaches it, and covers links at Riverside or Santa Bar with the enthusiasm of a schoolk STATUE TO THOMAS F. BAYARD Bronze Memorial to Diplomat Unveiled in Wilmington, Del. Wilmington, Del.-More than 5,000 persons witnessed the unveiling of a statue the other day in Rockford park of Thomas F. Bayard, former United States senator, secretary of state and ambassador to the Court of St. James. An address prepared by ex-President Cleveland, who was unable to be present on account of illness, was read by Prof. John Bassett Moore, of Columbia university, Judge George Gray delivered an oration. The president was represented at the unveiling by Oscar S. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor. Mrs. Mary Clymer Bayard, widow of the THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD Delaware's Memorial to Bayard. Delaware statesman, came up from Washington with her daughter and was an interested spectator. The Bayard statue is of bronze, more than life size and lifelike in appearance. It stands on a pedestal of Brandywine rock, two sides of which are to be ornamented with bronze tablets. One tablet bears the inscription: "Thomas Francis Bayard, born October 29, 1828. "Died September 28. 1898." Bied September 28, 1899. "Bayard is the purest and most patriotic man I know—Grover Cleveland." The other tablet contains a brief record of Mr. Bayard's public services. The statue, which was modeled by Miss Effie Stillman, now Mrs. William Ritchie, of London, and cast in Surrey, Eng., was given by an unknown friend of Mr. Bayard to the Bayard Memorial association, which insured its setting up and unveiling. STRANGE TOMBS IN STEPPES. Remarkable Burial Places of Kirghzee in Central Siberia. London.—The strangest looking graves in the world are the tombs of horsemen of the Kirkghile stepspe in central Siberia. The Kirkghile are a curious people who interest all good sportsmen. They are essentially horsemen, and to this day hunt with eagles. "Their tombs, or "maghila," are as interesting as their lives. The tombs are built of yellow sun-baked clay, and as every Kirkghile is his own architect great variety of design is shown. The grave illustrated here is in the region of Lake Balchash. It was probably left by the Kalmuck Tartars when A Kirghese Place of Burial, they migrated from Russia east of the Volga, to China. Of the 600,000 who started only 200,090 reached their destination. Meanings of "Physics." Sir Frederick Treves' vision of a good time coming when physic will be thrown to the dogs will startle the great host of medicine lovers, which is still going strong. One of the most curious signs of the popularity of "physic" is the specialization of the word in popular speech to the sense of pills and doses. Literally it means only "natural," and the "physica" of ancient Greece were natural philosophers. Later, however, the name was taken by sorcerers, who pretended to special knowledge of the powers of nature, and finally came the modern world's "physician" and "physic." This special sense has taken so strong a hold on the popular mind that the mistake of the valetudinarian who thought Bagehot's "Physics and Politics" was a work on the law of patent medicines, was intelligible enough—London Chronicle. Will Form Immense Lake. Recent careful surgeys on the Isthmus of Panama prove that Gatun lake, the great storage reservoir which will be formed by the building of the Gatun dam near Colon, will have an area of 225 square miles. The result will be beneficial to the canal, as the greater quantity of water stored up will allow of 56 lockages a day instead of only 26, the former estimate. ```markdown ``` Photograph of a shaggy bruin recently taken in the Rocky Mountains. GIVES DEATH WARNING OLD CLOCK TELLS APPROACH OF GRIM REAPER. Family at Loss for Explanation Owned by Prominent Physician Whose Relatives Are Ones to Lose Lives. Huntington, Tenn.—Stored away in a dusty attic at the home of Doctor W. T. Porch, the oldest and most prominent physician of Bakerville, in Humphreys county, is an old-fashioned Seth Thomas clock. Dust coveted and timeworn, this old clock many years ago refused to further record the fleeting hours, and was stored away in the attic with cast-off plunder. Doctor Porch is quite aged, and had been married three times, and the old clock occupied a prominent position on the mantel in the family room from the first day he began keeping house until it was cast away as being worthless. Shortly after the death of Doctor Porch's first wife he was called to see a gentleman residing in the neighborhood who was quite ill. The patient's wife that night dreamed that her husband died and that she afterwards married the physician. She also dreamed that she became the mother of twin children and at their birth she died. Strange as it may seem, in after years Doctor Porch and the lady were married. They lived happily together for some time, and finally twins were born to the union, but the mother never lived to see the children, death resulting at their birth. Doctor Porch states that he believes the dream had more than anything else to do with the death of his wife. But now to the story of the old clock. After a lapse of some time Doctor Porch was again married, and the old clock occupied its accustomed place on the mantel, as heretofore. To this last union were born several children, among them being Carrie, John Boy and Porter Porch. Oae Sunday morning, long after the clock had been discarded, and as Doctor Porch and his daughter Carrie were preparing to attend Sunday school, ten plain and distinct strokes rang out from the old clock in the attic. But little attention was paid to the incident at the time, and it was believed that a mouse or rat had become entangled in the clock wire and caused it to strike. However, it was noticeable that the ten strokes were as plain and distinct as if the clock had been running. Shortly afterwards Miss Carrie complained of not feeling well and stated that she would not attend Sunday school. She rapidly grew worse, and at exactly 10 o'clock lapsed into unconsciousness and died. Then it was that the striking of the old clock was recalled, but Doctor Porch is not a superstitious man, and would not believe that the clock had anything to do with the death of his daughter. Time wore on, and the next oldest child, John Boy, was taken sick. For a long while he lingered between life and death, and one night, as friends and members of the family sat around the bedside, there rang out, clear and distinct, from the old clock in the attic eight strokes. The puzzled look on the faces of the members of the family- evidenced to the friends present that they feared the worst and recalled the first warning of the old timepiece. Next morning at 8 o'clock John Boy passed into the great unknown, being unconscious at the time of his death. $1,200 For Three Weeks' Board Hazleton, Pa.—George Miller, whose wife died several weeks ago, has received from Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Passarella a bill in the amount of $1,200 for three weeks' board of Mrs. Miller at the home of the Passarellas. Mrs. Passarella is a daughter of Mr. Miller. The board is at the rate of $400 a week, and the bill is the largest for such an item that has ever been board of in Hazleton. Mr. Miller has engaged an attorney to fight the claim. He is threatened with legal proceedings if the claim is not paid. SUBSTITUTE COPPER FOR GOLD. Bank of England Branch Swindled in an Unusual Way. London.—A remarkable story of halfpenalties being substituted for half sovereigns was told at the Manchester city police court the other day, when Henry Douglas Anderson, who had been employed at the Manchester branch of the Bank of England and after absconding had been arrested in Canada, was charged with stealing £1,081. In stating the case for the prosecution, F. E. Smith, M. P., said that the prisoner's duty was that of separating light weight gold coins from those of full weight and he had to put the full weight coins into bags which he had to label and sign. On July 31 he absented himself, and on August 2 the bank issued 25 bags of half sovereigns to Messrs. Williams, Deacon's bank, and 14 of them, which had been made up by the prisoner, were found to have been tampered with, half sovereigns having been replaced by the necessary number of halfpennies to make up the correct weight. Two other bags in the bank's treasury were also found to have been tampered with in the same way, and the total sum missing was £1,081. On September 13 the bank received a letter from the prisoner in Winnipeg, in which he practically admitted his guilt and made reference to the mad act he had committed. Evidence was given by a number of bank clerks, including a retired detective inspector, named John Woolven, who, describing his search for Anderson, said he went down to Whittstable-on-Sea and found the prisoner's wife and family living there. In a drawer he found £647. KEEP YOUR EYE ON AMERICANS Don't Let Them Get Penn's Body, Writes English Divine in Panic. London.—Some notion of the fear of American enterprise entertained in certain quarters may be judged from the following amazing letter written by Dr. Rendel Harris, one of the most distinguished nonconformist divines, to the London Young Free Churchmen's league on the occasion of the annual pilgrimage to Penn's and Milton's country at Jordan and Chalfont, St. Giles, Buckinghamshire. He says: "Be careful not to let the Americans do any damage if they come with you, for they have plots laid to unearth William Penn and exhibit him as a relic of Philadelphia. This cannot be permitted. They will also want to cart away the house at Chalfont, where Ellwood tried to teach Milton the doctrines of paradise regained. "Don't let the Americans carry that house off. It ought to be government property. I will buy it myself presently and present it to the Free Church council." Woman on Police Force. Ottumwa, Ia—The Ottumwa police department has a new claim to distinction in the person of Mrs. Florence Jacques, wife of Capt. W. H. C. Jacques, one of the foremost attorneys of Iowa, who has been appointed to the regular police force and adorned with star No. 3. Mrs. Jacques is a liberal minded woman, a member of one of the best families of the city, prominent in society, and, above all, an ardent supporter of the humane laws of the state, in which her sphere of duty will be confined. It was in order that she might better prosecute this branch of the state government that she was-given a star and placed upon the force as a police officer. She will either wear or carry her star with her whenever on duty and her badge must be respected the same as that of any police officer. There is no salary attached to the position. : Rose and Trees Used as Jail Deering, Kan.—A deputy sheriff made several arrests here for drunkenness recently. As, there is no fall, he tied the prisoners by long ropes to trees, where their comments would not disturb anyone. At night they were released without ceremony or court costs. THE OLD DOWER CHEST SAID TO HAVE EVOLVED FROM PANDORA'S BOX. Most Authentic Story of Its Origin—Gift of Queen Elizabeth Now in Possession of a Massachusetts Family. Chicago.—Numberless traditions exist as to the origin of the dower chest. It has been suggested that it evolved from Pandora's box. The Greek meaning of Pandora is "a gift," and long ago the chest was called a Pandora chest. Two versions of the Pandora story are extant—one that the casket contained all the evils of mankind, while another version makes Pandora open a casket containing the winged blessings of the gods, allowing them all to escape except delusive Hone. The following beautiful little story is, however, the most authentic origin of the dower chest: When Scotland was young and legend and fact were barely distinguishable, an ancient king originated the dower chest. The king's beautiful daughter Marladne was to wed a young noble, and when the time came for the nuptials a most disastrous thing happened. The Scots, it must be remembered, at this time were a very barbarous people and constantly at war among themselves and with others. It happened that the king's throne was rather unsteady at this period because of a powerful clan, long since extinct, that was making war on his majesty. The day before the wedding the king was attacked very suddenly and unexpectedly by this clan, and while he was victorious it was not before the great left wing of his castle was destroyed by fire and, what was still more tragic, all the Princess Marladne's wedding gifts were hidden in that wing and they, too, were destroyed. But the young lord to whom Mariadne was betrothed was too loyal a lover to be thwarted by the loss of a castle full of gems, and so, cheered and exalted by the king's faithful guards, he and Mariadne were married. Then the old king said: "My daughter, and thou, my son, I most heartily deplore the loss of the priceless gems and beautiful gifts that were thy herl- Chest Made by Woman's Working Guild of England. tage. I have, however, one gift remaining, and though it is a poor dower for a prince's bride, it is thine." As he spoke the great doors were thrown open and revealed a chest of enormous size, wonderfully carved and polished, but empty. As the bridal party gazed in admiration upon it a soldier, arrayed in h.s. ragged plaid, stepped forward and sald: "Oh, king, I crave thy pardon for my presumption, but with thy gracious permission I will add this tribute." He then cast into the great chest a golden ring from off his finger. "Tis all I have," he said, simply, and before the king and bridal party had time to recover from their astonishment each soldier, poor, half-starved, with his scanty plaid wrapped close about him, stepped up to the chest and threw into it some trinket from his own person. Then the aged king arose, and as he spoke the eyes of the prince and princess filled with tears: "My loyal subjects, I thank you one and all for this fresh proof of thy devotion." Then to Mariadne: "My daughter, richer gifts thou couldst not find than these from my men. Thou couldst not have better or more loving contents for thy dower chest." With such a poetic and heroic origin it is not to be wondered at that the dower chest idea still lives. Some wonderful dower chests of antiquity are on record.' The illustration accompanying this article is of a chest made by a member of the Working Woman's Guild of England. This chest is especially elaborate in its carving. It was made for the child of one of America's richest girls who married a nobleman. The design is armorial. Queen Elizabeth's chest, which is now known as the "Great Willeighby Chest," was given by that sovereign to Lady Margaret Willoughby, who was her lady in waiting and second cousin, and has been handed down through generations until it is now in the possession of Theodore Raymond of Springfield, Mass. The chest came into the Raymond family by marriage with the Willoughbys. Women Forced Clean Streets. The Dutch housewives of old New York, ever noted for their housekeeping qualities, created the agitation which resulted in the appointment of the first public street cleaner in New York in 1692. He was Laurens Van der Speigle, a baker. His daughter married Rip Van Dam, who afterward became governor of New York, an illustration of the democracy of that day. GEN. AINSWORTH TO TAKE FIELD Formerly In Medical Corps and Has Been for 25 Years In Washington. Washington.—Major General Fred C. Alnaworth, adjutant general of the army, in line with his widely known ambition to assume active command of troops in the field, is slated to succeed Major General Leonard Wood in command in the Philippines. The change will be made next fall, when Gen. Wood will return to the United States to command the department of the east. The logical officer for succession as adjutant general is Brigadier General William P. Hall, a medal of honor officer, who was ranking assistant adjutant general when the adjutant general department was merged with the military secretary's office. While no definite announcement has been made, it was understood that Major General "Jack" Weston, a de- GEN. F. C. AINSWORTH. (Slated to Succeed Gen. Wood In Command in the Philippines.) GEN. F. C. AINSWORTH. (Slated to Succeed Gen. Wood In Command in the Philippines.) department commander in the Philippines, would be promoted to succeed Gen. Wood. It now appears that Gen. Weston will be returned to the United States for departmental command. The assignment of Gen. Ainsworth to the far east will be the second time that an adjutant general of the army has taken field service. Major General Henry M. Corbin obtained his promotion to lieutenant general through the stepping stone of the Philippines. If Gen. Ainsworth is to receive the highest office in the military service to which he aspires through a combination of the general staff, the inspector general's department and the adjutant general's department, it is imperative that he should have active service in the field. For 25 years Gen. Ainsworth has been stationed in Washington. Prior to that time he was in the medical corps of the army, as was Gen. Leonard Wood formerly. PRIEST A MOTOR EXPERT. Abbe Furst, of France, a Skilled Machinist and Runs a Garage. Paris.—Should any of the motor cars engaged in the great speed contest to take place soon on the circuit of the Selne Inferieure chance to break down while going through the little commune of Graincourt, it is probable that its cure, the Abbe Furst, will be called on to help patch them up. The sturdy, white bearded priest is quite a celebrity in his way, for he has charge not only of the spiritual needs of his flock, but of the bicycles and motor cars of the whole countryside into the bargain. Abbe Furst is really a remarkable man. Many years ago he used to employ his leisure moments in amateur engineering. When bicycles came into fashion he was able to manufacture one for himself, and then, still keeping abreast of the times, he actually made his own motor car. For the last Abbe Furst Inspecting a Motor. - 15 years he has been doubly indispensable to the district. If a postman's bicycle breaks down or the squire's automobile or the doctor's motorcyllette refuse to go, it is Monster Le Cure who is sent for. Times are hard, especially now, for a country parson in France, and the abbe sees no harm in turning an honest penny as a mechanic after confession, or administering the sacrament or saying mass. The cure's "garage" and workshop are in the vicarage courtyard and hard by among the trees is the old church. In one or the other you will not fall to the cure De Graincourt if you have need of his services. Distance to Fixed Str At the Lick observatory, says the American Machinist, they have recently spectroscopically determined the distance from us of the nearest fixed star, the result being stated as follows: Light, traveling with a speed of 188,000 miles per second, requires four and a quarter years to reach us from that star. And we figure it out like this: Length of sidereal year, 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9.33 seconds, which is 31,558,149.23 seconds, and four and a quarter years are therefore 134,122,124.625 seconds. The distance then (call it mean or magnificent, as you please) is 24,946,717,045,365 mils. i . mn Paecey" er we ee ae ee ee ee ae Pee RR Sr ee ay Pee e " Se en i See EEE te aE TS er”.
