The National Meeting at Washington promises to be the most glorious in the history of Negro Baptists. "I have long since ceased to pray 'Lord Jesus, have compassion upon a lost world,' I remember the day and the hour when I seemed to hear the Lord rebuking me for making such a prayer. He seemed to say to me, 'I have had compassion on a lost world, and now it is time for you to have compassion'."—A. J. Gordon. After Mytese, King of Uganda, had announced himself a follower of Christ and the Christian Book, he as forced to part with Stanley, who was about to set out on his return journey from England. "Stanley," he said, "say to your people, when you write to them, that I am like a man sitting in darkness, or us are more than they that be with born blind, and that all I ask is that be encouraged, for "they that be with I am taught to see, and I shall continue a Christian while I live." Kentucky, —— 197. Dear Brother Jordan: Please find enclosed $2.50, which is one-half of the amount promised by me for Foreign Medical Missions. I need this money to help pay my debts, but feeling that missions are God's work, the money is God's, and I cheerfully and willingly let it go. I pray and trust it will bear fruit in the Master's service a hundred fold. You are engaged in a great work, my brother; them. The things which set fire to English Baptists, and awakened them to the great need of Foreign Missions, was the sermon of William Carey, subject "Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God." We are praying that selfishness, arrogance and frivolity will be burned out of each delegate by all-consuming fire of the Holy Spirit, and praying that the Lord will overshadow with power from above each preacher who is to preach a sermon, not to cause the hearers to hollow and shout, but to weep and mourn over the little done in the cause of the Lord, and the great undone and yet remaining. EDITOR FORTUNE TO RETIRE. It is reported on the best authority that the distinguished editor of the New York Age, Editor T. Thomas Fortune, has been converted and that he will give up journalism and join the ministry. It is claimed that he is tired of the sins of the world, and the many years he has endeavored to reform his people through the press, and failed, he has an idea that in the pulpit he will be more effective. Just when the astute editor will enter his new field of labor The Bee has not yet been informed. It will be some time soon, however. Editor Fortune first entered the field of journalism in this city under the tutorship of Prof. J. W. Cromwell, who was at that time editor of the People's Advocate. He went to New York and established the paper called the Globe. After the death of the Globe he established the New York Age. The Bee a few weeks ago published an article that Editor Fortune was an advisory editor of the Age. The following week he came out and denied the truthfulness of The Bee's article, and said among other things that no man would attempt to control his editorial column. It is a fact, however, that the Age has changed hands, and the new editor is a prohibitionist and Editor Fortune is only the president of the company. The colored American pulpit will welcome the editor to its fold, and very shortly The Bee hopes to publish the first sermon that the well-known journalsit will deliver. Long live Rev. Thomas Thomas Fortune! BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXCURSION. Sunday, September 1. $1.00 Harpers Ferry and Martinsburg and return. $1.35 Berkeley Springs and return. $2.00 Cumberland and return. Special train leaves Washington a 8.15 a.m. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 190 The Prophet CHURCH OF GOD AND SAINTS OF CHRIST. The Church of God and Saints of Christ is the name of a recent established religious denomination. This church is situated at the northwest corner of Fourth street and New York avenue northwest. The pastor of this new institution is deaf and blind, and unable to walk. He is known as the "Black Prophet Elipah." This is the name given to him by his followers. The prophet owns several brick houses in the city, and he is always brought to his church in a two-horse hack, with two female members on either side of him and a male member, who acts as his footman. He has a peculiar art in getting the coin. He knows how to draw money out of the pockets of his members. It is said that he has several branch churches throughout the country who st to et g air I or h at h ill is y I s, s - y - e h t JUSTICE LEWIS I. O'NEAL, Who Died at his Home Thursday Afternoon. Full particulars next week His daughter, it is said, is his collector, and every week she goes to the postoffice, where she receives several hundred money orders from the different branches. A representative of The Bee attended his services last Sunday evening, and on entering he found the services in full blast. The choir sings without the aid of an instrument, and its peculiar action in the rendition of the hymns is new to the other denominations. The church was crowded with a number of curious Methodists last Sunday evening, who became very indignant. They remained throughout the services and did not realize their anger until after the dismissal of the church services, and then you could hear them say that the prophet should be arrested. He does nothing but abuse all other denominations. He declared that the only true church of God is his; all others are fakirs. The indignant Methodists were very much excited Sunday evening, and they did not fail to express themselves. The prophet went to Richmond, Va., a few weeks ago and very soon after they held two services; the entire crowd, including the prophet, had to leave the city at once. The authorities took the matter in hand, and it was not long before they were convinced that Richmond was no place for the prophet. The prophet has an interpreter, who informs the people what his wishes and desires are. When his interpreter declares what the will of the prophet is, the prophet runs his hand over his mouth and eyes, as if to say what a well, dont mention it. The prophet is king, and his subjects obey. You should see and hear the prophet. BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.

The choice is a popular one. Topeka broke the record for life members, securing twenty-six and beating out New York by three. The banquet was superb. Dr. Washington toasted the "Business League." Ir O. Guy made an ideal toastmaster. Mrs. J. W. Wright, the affable wife of the Deputy County Treasurer, was elected "official hostess" by general consent, and Miss Ray Campbell, of St. Louis, was "The Daughter of the Regiment." Yes, Dr. Booker T. Washington again made "the speech of his life." The people who try to "pass" didn't seem to have many friends in the audience Wednesday evening when the "Wizard" handed them a large-size lemon. The superior program was almost wholly the work of Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott, whose painstaking methods have made him the most popular officer on the League roster. ```markdown ``` The presence of a goodly number of handsomely gowned ladies gave the occasion quite a society aspect. Lawyer J. E. Hawkins, a prosperous and substantial-looking delegate from far-off Seattle, Washington, made a profound impression upon the convention. His square-toed address, telling of the glories of his magnificent State and its boundless resources, closing with a cordial invitation to the League to hold its next session there during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, was one of the most noteworthy of the week. The Oklahoma and Indian Territory "boosters" were "onto the job." Messrs. W. W Guy, T. J. Elliott, G. W. F. Sawmer, A. B. Patterson, William Harrison and Undertaker Gee got in some "fine work" as orators and all-round hustlers. Muskogee made a heavy plea for the next convention, and the cry of "Oklahoma and unprecedented Progress" came within an ace of winning the prize for the Gem City of the Trans-Mississippi Region. Mrs. G. W. F. Sawmer, a charming schoolmarm from Chandler, Oklahoma, a former Indianian, had a smile for everybody and was a reigning favorite throughout the series. Mrs. Belle Davis, of Indianapoils, is introduced and duplicated her Atlanta hit. As an expert cateress she has served the late President Harrison, Vice-President Fairbanks,Hon. Thomas Taggart, Governor Durbin and many others of like note, and has accumulated a fortune estimated at not less than sixty thousand dollars. Mrs. Davis' smile is of the kind that "won't come off," and she made a host of friends. It was remarked in passing that Mrs. Davis is still a widow. Topeka is a "dry town," but nobody complained. The Elks' banquet in honor of the Western Press Association and the Business League was an enjoyable event. The address of welcome was delivered by Lawyer Paul Jones, of Topeka, with response by R. W. Thompson, the general correspondent, hailing from Washington City, Inidana, Kentucky, and other seaports. Correspondent Charles Charles Stewart recited one of his imitable dialect poems. The local white press treated the convention with distinguished consideration. The reporters of the Daily Capital and the State Journal "covered" the --- situation to the queen's taste, using many protraits of the prominent delegates, as well as comprehensive news stories of the proceedings. The convention workout appreciates most heartily the excellent service of Messrs. Laughlin and Corbin in this connection. For the first time in the history of the League its deliberations were handled by a local negro daily. Editor Nick Chiles, the hustling "head push" of the Topeka Plaindealer, immortalized himself and shed undying luster upon his native heath by issuing the Plaindealer as a daily during the sitting of the convention—and a creditable effort it was, too. Full reports, appropriate cuts and an immense variety of legitimate news, seasoned with a dash of chatty gossip, made the paper a strong seller. The Plaindealer office was the Mecca for all visitors. The effervescent Nick Chiles and the thoughtful and scholarly "Jasper H. Childers ("Jas"), aided and abetted by Albert Ross, staff correspondent; Ira Smith, foreman; Miss Willa Smith, circulation manager; Miss Annicholas Chiles, stenographer; Miss Jane Chiles, bookkeeper; Miss Agnes Peraley and W. R. Eyster, printers, and Nathaniel Chiles, pressman, vied with one another in making "everybody happy." The State of Kansas showed itself a royal host in throwing open the magnificent Capitol for the use of the League. The convention eagerly took advantage of the cordial invitation of Mr. George W. Martin, secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, to visit the spacious rooms of the organization and to inspect the rich store of relics contained therein. Many priceless souvenirs portraits, original letters and personal possessions of the heroic John Brown were shown, and more than one delegate was visibly affected by the memories which the sacred tokens evoked. At the suggestion of Dr. Washington, the agricultural display in the State House was visited and all were amply repaid by what they saw. In surveying the personnel of the handsome, thrifty, fashionily-attired, well-fed and happy aggregation of business men and women one could scarcely imagine that they represented a "down-trodden" race. The assembly "looked good"—and it was as good as it looked. The social features were unsurpassed by any previous meeting. Dr. E. S. Lee, the Guy family, the Wrights, the McNeals, the Elks, the Jamisons, the Buckners, the Slaughters and others fairly outdid themselves in extending the proverbial Kansas hospitality. It was generally remarked that "the Topekans are a wonderfully cosmopolitan people. You meet so many people from everywhere under the sun." Dr. Lee's commodious building, the Plaindealer office, the law office of J. H. Guy, and the Commercial Hotel served as the natural headquarters for all comers. Dr. W. T. Vernon's manly address strengthens him among the home-folks who have followed him and loved him all these years. The favored son of destiny mingled freely with former comrades, and his hearty handshake and genial smile gave evidence that elevation to high office had not spoiled him in the slightest degree. Truly, Dr. Vernon is one prophet who is honored in his own country. Nobody attempted to "rise to a p'int of order," and the record in this important direction is still unbroken. Indiana was the very soul of harmony—a delightful contrast with the situation at the Atlanta meeting. Dr. A. A. Furniss deserves great credit for his speldid work in bringing over a Pullman, filled with enthusiastic Hoosiers, who cheerfully paid full fare in order to participate in the League's inspiring proceedings. Very fittingly Dr. Furniss was re-elected to his time-honored place on the executive committee. The familiar faces of Dr. S. E. Courtney, Editor M. M. Lewey, P. A. Payton, A. C. Howard, Gilbert C. Harris, Charles Alexander, W. Calvin Chase, H. A. Rucker and Cyrus Field Adams were missed. They were detained at home by illness or pressure of business this time, but will be on hand bright and early at Baltimore next August. Boston is making a noise like it would welcome a return of the League to the old home. We are keeping the Hub on our memorandum pad for early attention. Charles Banks, the alert and business-like cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, has grown steadily in the leadership of the organization, and everybody is glad to see him advanced to the post of first vice-president. The Vernon's Manhood MANLY UTTERANCES. From the Topeka State Journal. The Topeka (Kansas) State Jouanal, in speaking of the NegroBusinessLeague that met there August 14, 15 and 16, has this to say concerning the eloquent and manly speech of Register W. . Vernon: If the American Negro can acquire the courage and optimism that is now shown by his leaders in the National Negro Business League, there is not much doubt about a great advance of the colored race at all points. W. T. Vernon, who addressed the meeting at Representative Hall last evening, is the Registrar of the United States Treasury —a man who has achieved something. Mr. Vernon is a Kansan, holding a responsible position with the government which he fills in a satisfactory manner, and is therefore qualified to talk on "The Negro and the Nation," which was his subject. Mr. Vernon is a firm believer in the ultimate success of his people in winning political equality in this country, and is jealous of every right of his race under the Constitution. He believes that the Negro must win success right where he is and be a part of this nation. Among other things he said: "The growth and spread of goodness in mankind has given the American Negro cause to look up and take hope. The sentiment of the better people of this country is to help us all they can. "The direct primary system which is being advanced in many parts of the North is a great step in advance toward a better government. Other governments have risen and fallen because they forgot some of the essentials to their existence. Rome forgot the foundation of fraternity, liberty and equality upon which she built, and fell. Governments have continued to rise and fall, but still this country of ours has gone on succeeding until now we have the greatest nation on the face of the earth. The American republic is really the light of the world, and I am proud to say that the American Negro is helping in this worward movement. I am certain that the best people of America are in sympathy with us. Statistics show that we are going forward all the time. It is this story of hope that I like to hear. I like to remember that during the dark days of the Civil War the Negro did not commit crime against those of the white race confined to his care. "I do not believe that the Negro race should go elsewhere to find its opportunity. We are going to work out our destiny right here in this country because that is the only thing to do. And the day is coming, too, when in this country all men will recognize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. The race that can produce such men as Booker T. Washington and many others whom I might name—men who accomplish results—need have no fear of the future. We are going to work out a wonderful result in this country. This nation is going on to greater things and the doctrine is going to spread over the whole earth under our leadership." DR. CORROTHERS. Dr. Sylvester L. Corrothers returned from Boston last week, and preached to a full house Sunday at Galbraith, Dr. Carrothers will begin a series of services Sunday, September 1, to last two months Dr. Carrothers is one of the best-known preachers at Washington. In the last five years he has built up one of the best congregations in the city, his fearless and bold defense of his people has won for him the good-will of the rac- loving people of the whole city. His severe criticism of Booker T. Washington and his followers, his denouncement of Roosevelt and Taft, his criticism of the Negro bishops and Negro preachers who upheld the President and his crowd in their treatment of the Negro, places him at once in opposition to the old school of leaders, and a formidable power to be reckoned with in the new order of things. If you want to witness a great service go to Galbraith. GREAT ENTERPRISE SOUTH. One of the greatest institutions in the South will be erected at Durham, N. C., by Dr. James E. Sheppard, who made such a great impression when he went abroad this year to represent the colored Americans at Rome on the occasion of the International SundaySchool Convention. He is a thorough race man who has the confidence and respect of the best people in the United States.

Gillette SafetyRazor Metaline, Wash., 22 Years Old, Never Had a Death. Spokane, Wash.—Twenty-two years a city and yet no cemetery within a radius of 40 miles, is the claim advanced by the residents of Metaline, Wash. To make the claim even, more remarkable, the city has been dead for 22 years, although it had great mineral at its finger tips, awalting its awakening. But within the last week it has shown signs of coming to its own. 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. Handle and blade guaranteed to be perfect in material and workmanship. Sold by leading Drug, Cutlery and Hardware dealers. Inquire about SPECIAL FREE TRIAL OFFER. Metaline is unique in many respects. The absence of a cemetery is a case in point. Colville, 40 miles distant, is said to have the nearest cemetery. It was solemnly told by old-time citizens that there had been no funeral there since the city was founded, and that not one person had died of illness. "One must go away in order to die," is the way they put it to one. They claim sickness is almost unknown there. "Dead Man's Reef," below the falls, has five graves along the shore, but this is occasioned by drownings that have taken place up the river toward Newport the bodies floating to this point, where they are thrown on the reef and are placed in the ground without funeral or casket.

The boats can not go below Ione, which is five miles above Metalline, the rapids impeding further progress. HOUSEKEEPERS FORM UNION. Will Resist Exorbitant Demands of Servant Girls and Fix Wage Scale. New York.—To resist what they regard as the exorbitant, demands of house servants, the women of Norristown, N. J., are planning to organize a Housekeepers' Protective union, and a meeting for organization will shortly be held. It is proposed that the women shall each promise not to pay more than a certain price for certain classes of servants. In this way it is hoped either to drive out the high-priced servants or to make them agree to a new scale of wages. "The servant question," one woman deeply interested said, "is now one that brings no good to any one except the intelligence office and the undertaker. It is emptying our pockets, breaking up our homes and making our lives such a burden that it is breaking down strong women. "The servant problem must either be solved so that people in ordinary circumstances can employ them or else we will become a people absolutely without home life." The women say that in 1901 waitresses received $12 a month, while the same class now demand $20 to $25. In 1891 it was said a cook who would do the laundry work received $14 and now the cheapest wage a cook will work for is $25 and she will not do laundry work. QUESTION OF HEN'S IDENTITY. Man in Court Released When Mother Proves Fowl Is Her Property. Boston. Upon the identification of a hen, a big buff-colored cochin and eight fluffy little chicks, defended the fate of John Cullen, of Hyde Park, in Dedham court, where he was arraigned on a charge of larceny. A number of hen fanchers were in court. They sized up the hen's legs examined her bill and looked over the chicks with a critical eye, while Cullen waited in anxious expectancy. The hen was finally identified by Mrs. L. P Cullen, of Garfield street, the defendant's mother, and he was discharged. Cullen was in Dedham with a hen under one arm. A suspicious peeping sound attracted the police. "I hain't seen muffin' or no chickens." said Cullen when accosted. In spite of his protests one of the officers thrust his hand into the man's coat pocket and found a number of chickens. Cullen declared that he found the hen in the wood near the home of his mother and that he was returning it to her hen na! London.—Sufferers from gout need not abstain from any of their favorite foods with the idea of humoring their enemy, was in effect a statement made by Dr. Hale White, a London physician at the medical congress at Exeter. He contended there was not an atom of evidence that any particular food influences chronic gout. Physicians sometimes tombade sufferers to eat protels, he said, including, of course, meat, but how was it, he asked, that gout is greatly less common now, while the consumption of meat has enormously increased? As to alcohol, how was it that teetotal patients suffered from cirrhosis of the liver that could not be distinguished from that ascribed to alcohol. Truth Not In a Chinaman? Los Angeles, Cal. After 690 veniremen had been called a jury of 12 men has been found who will hear the evidence of Dr. G S. Chan, a Chinaman, charged with practicing medicine without a license. Nearly all of the 678 veniremen who did not qualify declared they fould not believe a Chinaman under oath.

"This country spends $6,000,000,000 annually on the criminal, pauper and vicious classes, and the annual increase of wealth is only $5,000,000,000. Does not that look as if the public were bankrupt?" This statement was made in a lecture by Dr. Charles J. Bushnell, who is conducting a model public playground here. He is a graduate of Heldelberg university and an authority on civic matters. Dr Bushnell's figures are taken, as he says, from reliable sources and represent years of careful study. He challenges anyone to disprove their accuracy. He and his wife have made a special study of what they call the "social illness" of the United States. Continuing, Dr. Bushnell said: "Why, the $6,000,000,000 that this nation spends every year on its criminal cases equals the amount spent on all churches, public libraries, the Young Men's Christian association, the Salvation Army, public hospitals, asylums for the insane and all benevolent institutions. The average factory hand earns $440 a year, while it is estimated that the average criminal costs the public at least $1,200 a year." AMERICAN ROADS MOST DEADLY United States Leads in Number of Persons Killed on Rails. Berlin.—Herr Guillery, an official of the archive bureau of the Prussian railway administration, has prepared a comparative table of statistics of those killed and injured by railways in various countries. He finds that the railroads in the United States are the most deadly. The United States has more mileage than all Europe.

Palaces at Newport That Are Deserted by Their Owners. Of all the appalling waste of wealth at Newport, there is no more inexplicable to the outside world than the leaving idle of enormous establishments that cost millions to build, and millions more to keep up. Some of these palaces have surrounding lawns and gardens covering as much as ten acres; but most of them lie close together in bewildering succession. In Europe such magnificent structures would each own a spacious park of many hundred acres. The Newport villa is built, however, not for comfort, not in rhyme or reason, but purely for show. It is a stage setting, gorgeous surely, but suggesting neither solidity nor permanency. One is surrounded by a tree-crowned wall, which cost over $100,000. It is empty; the owner is away in Europe. That white marble palace, a Vanderbilt residence, is also unoccupied There's "The Breakers," also owned by the Vanderbiltts, the maltenance of which costs $500,000 a season, says the Broadway Magazine. And the Berwind villa, the garden of which cost hundreds of thousands and yet so displeased its mistress that she turned it over to her servants and will not enter it, is also idle. You note splendid trees in some of the yards. They have been transplanted, most of them, from many miles in land. That beautiful tree with the great trunk and spreading branches was hated. 30 miles by 15 teams of horses, with many tons of earth clinging to its roots. Its removal cost nearly $1,000. But that is a mere item in the sum total of Newport extravagance. BREATHING UNDER WATER Mystery of the Mermaid Scene In "Neptune's Daughter" Explained. New York--The management of the New York Hippodrome used a remarkably interesting device by which performers engaged in the spectacle "Neptune's Laughter," were able to remain under water for a considerable time, to appear above the surface at will, and to disappear again. The principle is well shown in the combination of drawing and photograph Each mermaid tor, in some cases, each set of mermaids) had her own diving bell. Before the curtain rose the mermaids took their stand under the diving bells, which were then lowered into the water. When the time came for a mermaid to rise to the surface she held her breath, ducked under the edge of the bell, a foot on the small platform shown at the side of the bell, and was raised to the surface by the attendant in the bell. The working of the device is easily illus trated. "Take a glass tumbler and plunge it into the water, with the mouth perpendicularly down. It will be found that very little water will rise in the tumbler; but as air is compressible, it cannot entirely exclude the water, which by its pressure condenses the air a little." The bells are made of boilerplate, and have air 中 Rise of the Mermaids Explained. hose connections, telephone and electric light. The mermaids are protected from cold by rubber under garments, and their grease-paints are waterproof. Directions to the performers are given by telephone and by red and green signal lights. Many have thought the scene an illusion produced by an arrangement of mirrors; this should enlighten them. Turkish Joke. Among the many anecdotes related of the old Turkish joker Nasir-Eddin-Khodja is the following: Khodja went one evening to the well to draw water and, looking down to the bottom, he saw the moon. Quickly he ran into the house and got a rope with a hook attached to the end of it. This he lowered into the well. The hook caught fast on a stone Khodja pulled desperately, the hook gave way, and there was the joker, flat on his back, staring up into the sky. "Upon my soul!" he exclaimed, perciving the moon, "I have had a bad fall, but I have put the moon back in its place." Use Fish to Catch Turtles. A curious mode of catching turtles is practiced in the West Indies. It consists in attaching a ring and a line to the tail of a species of sucker fish, which is then thrown overboard and immediately makes for the first turtle he can spy, to which he attach himself very firmly by means of a sucking apparatus arranged at the top of his head. The fisherman then hauls both turtle and sucking fish in. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire-$1.00. Julius Cohen, 1104 7th street, N.

Prepares Dainty Dish Every Day and Takes it to Husband in the Tombs. New York.—Evelyn Thaw is keeping house! She's going to cook, too, and her friends say lead the simple life. The Thaws have rented a furnished house in Park avenue and will remain in seclusion all summer. Mrs. Thaw told one of her friends she wanted to live as quietly as possible and that the house furnished her the best means of doing so. Also she declared that it would keep her mind occupied and give her something to do while waiting for the tedious process of the law to bring her husband to trial again. She intends to superintend the whole establishment—it is not very large—and in fact will do some of the work herself. She expects to have but one servant. She will cook, she has told her friends, which has been one of the ambitions of her life. In their enthusiasm over the idea these friends say that Evelyn will prepare a dainty dish every day to be sent to her husband in the Tombs. One of them who is very close to Evelyn, says she told her the following: "I want to escape this notorify. I want to meet my friends quietly and have the freedom to enjoy the few pleasures I can without being gazed at constantly." --- Washington, Pa.—After twice securing a license to marry the same girl, the second attempt proved successful, and Albert Haffield, of Amwell township, wedded Sarah Amos. A year ago Hatfield took out a license, but on the day for the wedding the girl backed out after the clergyman was ready, saying she would rather remain with her mother. Hatfield returned the license and wanfed his fee returned. Miss Amos decided the other morning that she was ready to be married, and sent word to Hatfield. Without waiting to change his clothes, Hatfield came to Washington from the harvest field, obtained another license and, hurrying back home, secured a clergyman. The ceremony was performed in the afternoon. Columbia Ice and Coal Co. FILE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND WE WILL DO THE REST. ORDERS PROMPTLY FILL-ED.

The contest will be a most bitter one. Before the fight ends thousands of dollars of the members of the order will have been wasted on account of the ignorance and-bigotry of the recent action of those in charge of their affairs. All of this could have been avoided and thousands of dollars saved to the order. For thirty-five years at least the Odd Fellows in America have had smooth sailing. This is because level-headed men have been at the head of the organization. It is no more than what The Bee predicted several weeks ago, when a request was made to settue the matter among themselves. But men in the order and in control of the management of the organization thought that they knew it all. They arrogated to themselves superior and omnipotentpower. These men, because they had been clothed with a little temporary power, undertook to remove, unpustly and illegally, from office men who had made Odd Fellowship in the South what it is today. There are no three men in the South more honored and appreciated than Messrs. Davis, Howze and Knox. These men know their business, and the people have faith in them. The meeting at Selma, Ala., August 6, fully demonstrated their superior strength over those who attempted to show their bombastic power. The Southern Odd Fellows are men of superior talent. They do not intend to surrender their property to grafters or men whose sole ambition is to destroy the order. The Bee's investigation of the sentiment among the Odd Fellows in this country is almost unanimously against the present subcommittee of management and national officers. They will go out of office the most successful failures, that have ever been in the order, with but one exception. DESTROYING THE ORDER. The Bee was confident that the moment pothouse politicians and politics entered the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, that moment disruption would destroy the organization. It is to be regretted that there is a disposition to graft. There are men in the order who are loking for nothing else. The ancient dignity and order of the order can only return by a reorganiaztion. The next B. M. C. has a duty to perform, and it should perform that duty without fear or favor. There should be an expert committee appointed to make a thorough investigation and report at a special session of the entire organization. Such committee is absolutely necessary. The present condition of the order, if not immediately corrected, will be a destruction to it. Dissect if you will the present personnel, with but one exception, of the sub- Suppose we had fifty colored men doing for the race along business lines what Professor Washington is doing! This so-called race prejudice would die quickly. When the white man sees that you have something that he wants he will seek you out. If the colored man has nothing that is salable he will not seek him out. There should be a strong business league in this city. When such a league is established it should do something for the benefit of the race. SENATOR FORAKER. The recent speeches of Senator Foraker in reply to the President's "Man Friday," William Taft, were unanswerable. When Senator Foraker asked the War Secretary. "What will you do with the ten millions of blacks who have never breathed a disloyal breath?" It stunned him to such an extent that he has not recovered from the blow yet. Mr. Taft must either believe that all the colored people are insane, or that he is losing his mind. For the Republican party to secure the colored vote one of the following men must be nominated: Foraker, the nation's choice; Fairbanks; Knox, Atkinson of West Virginia, or Hughes of New York. Under no circumstances will the colored voters support the policies of the present Administration or support any man named by it. The colored vote is a unit against the present Administration. Many of the appointments by the Adminihtration areinimical to the colored man. No colored American with a grain of sense and spark of gratitude would dare to vote against Senator Foraker. That the Northern colored vote will be a factor in the next cam- Architect J. A. Lankfords photographic display attracted much attention. The firm of Lankford & Brother, of Washington, B. C., is doing a phenomenal business, and it would surprise the uninitiated to know how many important structures they are putting up in various sections of the country. The election of Mr. Lankford as a vice-president of the League was a just recognition of his untiring efforts in builing up a local branch in the Nation's Capital, and will insure the hearty co-operation of Washington in the entertainment of the Baltimore meeting next year. Plans are already on foot by which Washington will add greatly to the pleasure of the visitors by keeping "open house" and affording them a chance to see her manifold beauties. The newspaper fraternity was capably represented, and all carried home good reports. The forceful session of the Western Press Association gave the National Association an object lesson in how such organizations could be made effective, if permitted to speak out in the meeting. These Western fellows are not "mollycoddles." They are men—every inch of them. Kansas City sent a fine delegation. Editor Washington's clean-cut invitation to the League to come to his great metropolis will be accepted—some day. On the return eastward many delegates stopped off at Kansas City to inspect the wonderful packing houses of the Armour Trust. The place was as neat as a pin throughout, and the killing and dressing of the cattle was a sight not witnessed every day. The entire process was shown, from the entrance of the live cattle to the making of butter, sausage, lard, etc., the curing, canning and placing the goods on the table of the consumer. Dr. Washington was in a jolly mood and was agreeably surprised to note the deep interest manifested in the proceedings. Though con convention was from the center of Negro population, the session was the most profitable the League has yet held, and the attendance was fully up to the standard, in quantity and quality. The typewriters and stenogrpahers from the Western Unievrsvr did a "land office business," and the excellence of their work was a splendid advertisement for the commercial department of Dr. Vernon's great school. Hon. George L. Knox was the life of the meeting. His speeches were full of wit, wisdom and the optimism that makes for happiness and prosperity. Versatile to the last degree, Md. Knox can be grave or gay as the occasion demands, and whether in discussing the serious problems of State, offering counsel to young men and women or saying the echoes on the hustings or saying airy nothings at the jolly banquet table, this Nestor of Negro journalism is equally felicitous and thoroughly at Judge M. W Gibbs, the races "grand old man," was on the scene early, and his appearance was invariably the inspiration for a burst of applause. The Judge wears his eighty-five years with the grace of a man of forty, and can hold his own with the best of them. A striking circumstance connected with his visit to the convention was that the ground occupied by the State Journal, situated on one of the best business corners in the city of Topeka, is owned by Judge Gibbs, and the paper net only gave this emarkable man credit for the fact, but wrote a eulogy of his industry and character, filling nearly a column in the State Journal, accompanied by a double-column cut. Judge Gibbs, as usual, headed the Arkansas delegation. J. E. Bush was in his customary jovial humor and his stentorian voice and ready wit made him a ruling favorite. He got his life members by a tact and persistence that no one in the body could have duplicated, and his humorous bones with various members were among the spiciest hits of the session. The courtly J. C. Napier was there and did some effective work in the executive committee besides exploiting the banking resources of his progressive city or Nashville. The distinguished Tennessee, with characteristic generosity, showed means of praise upon his fellow statesman, Farmer B. J. Carr, for timely services to the race, and took especial pride in making the announcement of Baltimore as the next meetingplace, for he knew that he and everybody else wanted to do to the Memorial City. The absence of the queenly Mrs. Napier was universally regretted. Roseoe Conklig Simmons, editor of the National Review, New York, was in the thickest of the fray, and was a potent factor on the committee on resolution, reading in fine style the report of the body to the full convention. Editors T. Thomas, Fortune was the She did not meet with her that she had anticipated because the bad faith of those who had made her such fair promises. She put extra energy, labor and money in his hand and when the fire broke out at Jawas town, she carried water from the ground floor to the roof in order to save her effects, which was the principal cause of her losing her life. She was told to desist, but being a woman of mourn temperament she did not heed a warning of her friends; hence she was taken sick and brought home, where she died last Sunday. She was buried from the Third Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev Jing H Lee, the eminent Baptist church preached her funeral. Mrs. Jones leaves a hush, who has been the treasurer of the Third Baptist Church for twenty years or more and a man of the most exemplary character two sons, Joseph and Ernest ECHO MEETING OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. Every delegate who will go to Washington will get help for the trip from a Church, Sunday School, B Y P L, or Missionary Society. A due appreciation and indeed sense of duty should make us who go eager to make a final report to those who stay at home Let every delegate take notes while at the National Convention. First, as to attendance of the meetings, second, the spirituality of the meetings, as compared with last year; third, what the Boards have done during the year; fourth, what the missionaries say about the work of our home land, fifth, what Dr. Prowd says about the conditions of the work of the Lord in the West Indies and South America, what Rev L. N. Cheek reports after six years' say in Central Africa, Rev. D. E. Murray's story of fourteen years' achievements of Baptist Missions in South Africa, learned from his sixteen months survey of the fields; sixth, the outlook for future work at home and abroad. Advertise your Echo Meeting and your report will do much to make known the Lords work, and will repay in a measure those who helped you to go to the National Meeting Have the Echo Meeting, when there is nothing else going on. If more than one delegate, let each report on a special phase of the work. Let us educate the Baptist Army on all questions affecting our denominational and racial life. We can hold as many Echo Meetings as there are delegates, and if properly planned and wisely handled we can encourage, stimulate and fire our denomination from Maine to California, and from the Lakes to the Gulf. He spirit of truth will meet us in great power and the coming year work will be all the grander because of the knowledge infused about Him, and for His cause. Plan the great Echo Meetings Yours in His Name, L. G. Jordan Louisville, Ky. ITEMS ON THE WING The Republican State League of Alanta, Ga., held a grand rally last week August 23. They endorsed Senator For- aker for President and denounced the Georgia disfranchisement law.

Wilton houses are becoming available for colored genants in Le Droit Park in reason of the steady withdrawal of the whites, who have a habit of moving out of a street as soon as one or two houses are taken by Negroes. Wallah Place has been invaded recently by two colored families, and the prediction is made that within a year or so the entire street will be held by members of the colored race. Mrs Elijah N.

John T. Layton, assistant director of Music in the public schools, of this city, and his son, Master Turner Layton, have just returned from Chicago, Illinois, after a sojourn of about seven weeks. Professor Layton was in attendance at the American Institute of Normal Methods held in Northwestern College, Evanston, Illinois, about fourteen miles out from Chicago. Until the last of the session he was the only colored student in a class of two hundred. Quite late Professor Boswell of Dallas, Texas came. Professor Layton conducted one of the choruses at the Institute; sang an obligato bass solo in an excellent male chorus of the school He also took part in the chorus that furnished the music at the graduating exercises. On one occasion he was assigned the bass obligato to "Suwanee River." The rendition was so excellent that it brought tears to the eyes of the audience. He was complimented by the corps of professors and teachers for excellent work. He took a course in high and normal methods, chorus conducting and harmony. Professor Lavton took Master Layton out to the college with him. The faculty and students expressed surprise and delight at the little fellow's marked musical ability. He was introduced by the manager of the institute, Mr. J. F. McCullough, as a product of the Washington schools. A test of Turners ability to detect absolute pitch was given. An accompanist was asked to do to the piano and give several chords, and immediately he, with back to the instrument, named the notes of the chords. The audience broke forth in applause. He was then requested to sing, and brought the house down. His encore was so thoroughly appreciated. Professor Layton speaks in the highest terms of the teachers and his fellow classmates; and says the female chorus was the finest collection of women singers he has ever listened to. They were the guests of Mrs. Laytons adopted brother, Mr. Peyton G. Taylor, and his estiable wife, who have a model home at 3243 Wabash avenue. The courtesies extended them while in Chicago are too numerous to mention all. Prof. Pedro T. Tinsley and Madame entertained them at dinner; also an evening musicale. Among the persons present were: Mrs. Platt, of the Chicago Bar, and a skilled pianist; also Lawyer Lucas, Mrs. Martha Broadus Anderson, Mr. W. Kemper Harrold, violinist; and a sister of the Messrs. Neill of Washington. Mrs. Martha Broadus Anderson gave a musicale at her beautiful home, on Champlain avenue. An invitation to reception by Douglass Centre Association was sent, but could not be accepted. On the same evening Mr. and Mrs. Peyton G. Taylor assisted by their sisters, Mesrames Wilson and Crump, gave a brilliant reception in honor of their guests. Among those present were: Miss S. Twinsend, Mr. Dunn, Dr. and Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Mr. Crump, :Mesdames Tinsley and Smith, Hon. J. Gray Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Ruffin (Washington, D. C.), and many others. On two occasions they were entertained by Mr. Rufus Estes at the Appomattox Club. Mrs. Pickering had a reception at her home, on Armour avenue.

Mr. Richard Spriggs, who used to sing in St. Augustines' choir, had Professor Layton and his son to dinner twice, and made it very pleasant for them. The Professor sang a solo in Professor Spriggs church. Mr. R. D. Ruffin took them out and did the honors of Chicago, sightseeing, etc.; after which Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Ruffin entertained them at dinner. Mrs. Mary Griffin (sewing department) was also a guest that evening. Professor Layton was also a guest at a reception given by Mr. Julius N. Avendoprh. The hospitalities extended them while away were many, and the recollections of the Windy City will ever be pleasant ones.

Rear Admiral Evans Is, with Exception of Dewey, America's Best Known Sea Fighter—Renowned In Peace and War. Washington.—Rear Admiral Rozie D. Evans, man of war, has just rendered the nath in a peace service. When the news travel to Japan that the grim old rigger, who has been picked to lead at and the Pacific the huge fleet of American battleships, that was the basis of all kinds of war talk, had hobnobbed with the Japanese admiral, Yamanoto, and assured him that any talk of war between Toklo and Washington was merely midsummer nonsense. Nippon felt relieved and reassured. Japan knows Evans, in fact his fame has gone all over the world. Barring only Admiral Dewey, he is the most famous man in our navy, not even excepting the hero of Santiago, Admiral Schley, who, having passed from active service, is not the factor he once was. When the great fleet starts for the Pacific Rear Admiral Evans will command the finest squadron of battleships that were ever at one time under the command of any naval officer. From his flagship, the Connecticut, he will command the movements of a company of fighting craft such as only England could bring together. Evans was picked for the work because he is the reliable man of the navy. Just as Funston is sent for to do all kinds of work that falls to the lot of the army, it is Evans who is selected to handle the difficult matters that confront the naval arm of the service. There is always assurance that he will discharge his duty with courage and patriotism, and with tact and diplomacy should his mission become a delicate one. It is significant of his skill in the M. Rear-Admiral Evans. arts of statecraft that one of his first acts after his selection to head the fleet became known, was to win the friendship of Yamamoto, and to make clear that no thought of impending hostilities disturbed his mind. Evans during his fighting life has enforced a unique distinction. He is adored by his men, and he has also known how to hold the favor of Washington. He began fighting in the civil war when he was still in his teens, and completed his record of actual hostilities by the great work he did with the Iowa at Santiago, when Schley and his commanders were giving the Dons the defeat that virtually ended the war. In the interval, and since that time, he has rendered the country every kind of service. If somebody was wanted to scare a South American republic that needed cautioning, but not actual punishment, it was "Fighting Bob" for the service. Supposing that Emperor William or some other potentate was to be entertained in foreign waters, the immediate demand of Washington was to get on the job the shrewd Yankee tur, who in his bluff hearty way could say the kind of things that pleased, but who with shrewd common sense never made a mistake and uttered a sentiment that could be used against him or his country. Evans is always spoken of as the Yankee tar, but in this case the use of the word is national, not sectional, for the ideal officer of the navy is not a New Englander. He was born in Virginia, in fact. He had to fight his way into the navy, for his father dled when he was ten years old, and he had no one to aid him in his ambitions. He did have grit in abundance, however, and he prevailed upon William H. Hooper, congressional delegate from Utah, to get him an appointment from that territory providing he would go there long enough to get a residence. It was while en route for Utah that he saw his first fighting. The wagon train was attacked by Indians, and the boy, disobeying orders, got into the action. An arrow from an Indian's bow pinned his leg to the side of his horse so that it had to be cut out. Evans went to the Naval academy in 1860, and a year later came the outbreak of the civil war. The mother of Robley demanded that he resign from the United States service and fight for the south. His brother had espoused the cause of the Confederacy. But Robley decided in favor of Washington, and announced his determination to stand for the union. It was a decision that cost him many heartburnings, for it was many years before his mother forgave him. His brother fought gallantly for the lost cause and was twice wounded OVAL BILLIARD TABLE. Invention Expected to Revolutionize Popular Indoor Game. London.—Is the "anchor" stroke in billiards doomed? Without the intervention of the Billiard association, there is only one way in which the prolific "cradle," or "anchor" cannon ```markdown ``` New Oval Billiard Table. could receive its deathblow, and that is by the invention of a new shaped table. Thanks to the genius of an Oxford street architect, a way out of the difficulty has been found by the construction of a table oval in shape, which is now on sale in London. The oval billiard table has six spots; each spot is in the center of a circle, which is represented in the formation of the board. The extremities of each of the circular sections are marked on the rim of the table, so that players are in a great measure assisted when attempting scientific cannons. Repetition strokes are impossible, since the curved formation of the cushions renders it impossible that any ball should be placed in a fixed position. At first sight the oval table suggests large breaks, but a closer acquaintance with the eccentricities of the curved formation dispels the early promise of mammoth scores. As a matter of fact, the oval table gives openings for a more scientific game than that afforded by the familiar full size oblong. New games will also be instituted. Oval billiards—a game which consists of scoring by hitting a ball after touching the cushion—presents many possibilities. The points obtainable are two for once on the cushion and then on the ball, four for twice on the cushion before touching the object ivory, and six for a trio of cushion bumps. No cucist can fall to be interested in the new Invention, which, according to all the indications, has come to stay. Professional players are practicing daily at the offices of the company in Oxford street and it seems likely that the oval table is going to effect a revolution in the art of modern billiard playing. RENOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR. Republicans of Oklahoma Again Name Frantz for Post. Muskogec, I. T.—The selection of Gov. Frank Frantz as the Republician standard bearer in the forthcoming gubernatorial race in the new state of Oklahoma was accompanied by a remarkable demonstration of enthusiasm F. Frank Frantz asm. He is the present territorial governor and dominated the convention. Gov. Frantz was a rough rider captain at San Juan hill, and is an intimate friend of President Roosevelt. "Say," he said to the man in the street car on his right, "you sometimes stay out late nights, don't you?" "Well, I don't always get home at nine o'clock." "And when you do your wife insists on smelling your breath, eh?" "I believe she has on a few occasions." "Then lemme give you a tip. It would be one of the best things in the world but for a few drawbacks. If you'll eat soap going home it will take the smell of whisky all away." "Yes, I think so," said the other, after a moment's thought, "but what are the drawbacks?" "Why, your wife will probably do as mine does. She takes one sniff of my breath and turns away with: "If you have called here to do the washing you are mistaken in the house. Get right out with you!" Birth of a Theme. "We're on the way to the promised land; where it is we don't know," was the monotone of the Doukhobors. "Great idea," remarked the perpetrator of popular songs. A few days later the lyric stage was being elevated by the refrain "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." NOTED DIVORCE JUDGE W. M. M'EWEN TALKED OF FOR GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. Jurist Has Made a Study of Underlying Reasons for Marital Difficulties—Copied to Women Working. Chicago.—If Republicans on the northwest side can bring it about, Judge Willard M. McEwen will receive the nomination for governor. Outside of party men he can also count on support from an unusual source. In his six years on the bench Judge McEwen has tried 2,000 divorce cases and his friends declare that his homely philosophy and good advice enunciated at every opportunity in the patching up of family troubles are certain to have won him at least one advocate in every divorce suit. While Judge McEwen has gained most fame as a lawyer, public prosecutor and jurist, his close acquaintances say his practical philosophy is the mainstay of his success and the quality which will make him an ideal state executive. It is this philosophy learned on the farm, in the night law school, the state's attorney's office and on the bench—which has gained him a reputation as one of the great divorce judges of the country. He has made a study of the underlying reasons for the appeal of men and women for court relief in marital difficulties. The divorce court, he declares, is an expression of the times. It shows the drift of American civilization and it warns statesmen and churchmen that they must devise some means to develop more normal men and women who can be satisfied to live contentedly under more normal conditions than the present time affords. "Conditions are abnormal when the woman has to go from the home and DIEY Judge Willard M. McEwen. work to support herself and others," sald Judge McEwen. "The prime duty of woman is motherhood and the care of the home. Man should be the provider, unless there is great emergency by reason of his illness or other incapacitation. As soon as he allows the woman to take his place and do the work which supports him and his he becomes abnormal and a menace. The husband who loafs ought to be put in jail. "We men are losing the respect of women. Statistics compiled recently by the bureau of commerce and labor show that one woman in every five women in the United States works. That is an appalling proportion. It shows both the reason and the result of the popularity of divorce in this country. Woman naturally looks down on man when she works beside him day by day. Her opinion of him is lowered. "She cannot be expected to work all day and go home at night to mind a family. Either she remains single or she marries a man for whom she does not have the highest regard of which her nature is capable. Having taken care of herself, naturally she is independent. In such marriages there is not the respect that maintains happiness. "One of the greatest evils of the working woman question is the effect it will have on the future morals of our country. Woman is more impressionable than man, and man is driving her into a position from which he can pull her down to his own level of morals. "Normal people have a wholesome respect for marriage. Normal people will get married at church or at home, and not skip to a justice for the wedding. Church and home weddings stick. The people who contract them are rarely found in the divorce court. The idea of many people when they get married that they easily can be divorced if the venture does not prove successful is altogether wrong. In many cases separation and divorce is the only reasonable thing to protect husband and wife from one another, but the question of the remarriage of divorced persons is one that should receive more attention at the hands of legislatures."

Wooden Mills Employing 1,000 Hands Cannot Run When Water Supply Fails—Work Resumed When Pair Leave. New York—In an effort to make the park look like a fairy- bride during their honey- ing. B. Duke pumped the Ra- dry at Somerville, N. J., the operation of the Rari- nals, the largest industry depend on the stream for on his estate artificial several hundred acres, numerous fountains and All of these are supplied from the Raritan river of a great pumping plant capacity of many millions of day, which recently was in the river bank above the hills. a portion of the bride in order that itains be made to shoot their high, the lakes were filled to well wing and cascades dashed with insol volume, over the rocks and pumps were kept pumping night and day to keep up the display, but while the Raritan river, which is the second greatest watershed in New Jersey, kept dwindling until only a tiny stream found its way through the great bed. The intake of the Rar- an woolen mills was left dry, and there scarcely was enough water in the wells to supply the big boilers of the mill. The Raritan woolen mills are owned by the Einstein estate and employ more than 1,000 operatives. While the managers of the mills were inclined to do all they could to honor Duke's bride, they suddenly were confronted by a business proposition which led them to summon Manager Smith, of the Duke estate, to look over the situation. Mr and Mrs. Duke had just left the estate for a three weeks' auto tour, and the manager decided there was no need to prolong the display and agreed to stop the drain from the river and give the mills a fair share of the water so the Duke pumping plant was closed down and the river will be allowed its normal flow for several days. BEDBUGS CAUSE BAD BLAZE. Woman Tries Explosive Exterminator with Disastrous Results. Indianapolis, Ind.—As in the days of old Greece, when one of the ancient philosophers of that period cudged his brains in an effort to perfect a patent bug exterminator. Mrs. Nancy Wilson of West Washington street, tried a similar experiment the other day, and history repeated itself. There was a blinding flash, a loud report, and flames leaped to the ceiling. The brave firemen hurried out on the painted fire wagons and put down the threatened conflagration. The loss: One bedtick. Some exterminator. One bedstead. Bugs, number unknown. In the former case some years ago in Greece, it appears, there were no such fire-fighting facilities as Indianapolis enjoys, unfortunately, and it is reported that the town was almost devastated. An investigation which followed the fire developed the singular origin and ever after the Grecian philosopher who experimented on the new bug exterminator, was famous. History does not record whether he was cited for criminal negligence, but it does record that he was badly disfigured in the molee, and that he suffered great loss of personal effects, including, singularly enough, one bed. With Mrs Wilson there was the happy result that when the fire which threatened her house was drowned by the firemen the bugs were effectually exterminated GIRL'S "FIDDLE" STOPS WORK. St. Louis Contractor Cannot Pave Ailey Because Men Want to Dance. St. Louis—Recent developments on Eads avenue would indicate that walking delegates and union labor pickets are not the only people who force other people to quit work. Miss Louise Myers, of 3436 Eads avenue, is a high class performer on the violin and keeps herself up to the mark by regular practice. A contractor for the city is at present engaged in paying the alley in the rear of the Myers residence and employs several negroes in the work. The other day the contractor asked Mr. Myers to "lay off" his daughter. "You know," he said, "this is a time contract. When your daughter plays that fiddle I can't get a lick of work out of my men. When she tunes up they just drop their spades and begin to hoe it down." Wiss Myers agreed to suspend operations for a week. Fish That Kill Mosquitoes. Naples. A cargo of live fish from Australia has arrived here, the species called "blue eyes." Prof. Count Morace, the Swedish consul at Sydney, discovered that the fish lives wholly on mosquito larvae, and the Italian government ordered its repre- sentation in Australia to send him to be a carer of the fish. They will be distributed among all the regions fitted with insects and malaria. Used for Punishment or Scolding Women in Olden Times. London. At Leoninster, in Herefordshire, may still be seen a specimen of the old-fashioned ducking-stool which was used in the olden times for the punishment of scolding women. The culprit was placed in the seat and taken to the river bank, whence she was lowered into the water, apparently with the idea that a cold douche would cool her fiery tongue. So late as 1809 a woman named Jenny Pipes was paraded on the ducking-stool through the streets A man stands on a street corner, watching a car speed down the road. The car is depicted in motion, with a blurred background of buildings and a window. Ducking-Stool at Leominater. of Leominster, and actually ducked in the water near Kenwater bridge by order of the imagistrates. A similar fate would have befallen Sarah Leek eight years afterwards, but that the water was too low. The Leominster stool was formerly kept in the parish church. Similar stools were to be seen in nearly every town, and the old accounts often contained particulars of money paid for the repair of this instrument of torture. A newspaper of 1745 contains these interesting particulars "Last week a woman who keeps 'The Queen's Head' Alehouse at Kingston, in Surrey, was ordered by the Court to be ducked for scolding, and was accordingly placed in the chair and ducked in the River Thames in the presence of 2,000 to 3,000 people." Moral suasion for scolds did not come within the penal code in these uncomfortable days. HOYT TO SUCCEED. BONAPARTE. Solicitor General Slated to Become President's Legal Adviser. Washington. — Attorney General Bonaparte is expected to retire from the cabinet within three months, to be succeeded in that office by Henry M. Hoyt, son of ex-Gov. Hoyt of Pennsylvania. Hoyt is now solicitor general. It is asserted the president and attorney general have not been getting along as smoothly as they might and that they are about ready to give each other official farewells. At the time of the recent newspaper criticisms of Bonaparte for not spending more time in his office there were direct hints that the White House enjoyed the grilling the attorney general received. Hoyt is one of the number of young men brought into the department by Senator Knox when he was attorney J. HENRY M. HORT. general. If he is promoted he,will be one of the youngest men ever given the responsible place of legal adviser to the president. Change in Bill of Fare. "The bill of fare for Sunday dinner will be shredded chicken, instead of baked chicken," announced the old farmer to the group of city-boarders. "I'm!" grunted one pessimist, "what caused the change?" "What caused the change? Why, by heck, one of them thar racing automobiles just ran through my whole flock of poultry." Exorbitant. "Compared with former years," said the man who did the family marketing, "the price of beef during the past 12 months has been something fierce." "That's what!" agreed the amateur sportsman: "when I was gunning several months ago I shot a cow and the farmer's charge was frightful." THE WIRE IN MAN'S HEART A REMARKABLE OPERATION OF PHILADELPHIA PHYSICIANS. Philadelphia.—Nature and a silver wire 20 feet long saved the life of Fred Williams at the end of one of the most remarkable operations on record. It was for aneurism of the aorta, and was performed on Wllliams in the Medico-Chirurgical hospital by Dr. James P. Mann. Williams, who is 39 years old, a negro barber and a man of wonderful vitality, noticed a swelling on his breast some time ago, and went to the Medico-Chirurgical hospital. There he was placed upon the operating table without having been etherized. A hollow needle was plunged into the aorta and through this the silver wire was fed from a spool. The thickness of the wire was about that of a No. 60 cotton thread. As the wire was fed into the great blood vessel it colled itself closely in the form of a cylinder, which fitted exactly the inner surface of the affected part. Then the needle was withdrawn and the little wound made by it was dressed. The process that was then set up in the weakened part was this: The blood clotted over the wire and "organized" a new wall, strengthening that which had been weakened by the aneuritic growth. The operation was performed two months ago. Last week he came into the hospital with blood trickling steadily from a pin hole in his chest. The interne and the nurses who saw the trickle were alarmed and sent for the surgeons. Again Williams was placed upon the operating table. The blood was found to be coming from a wound from which protruded the tip of the silver wire that had been colled inside his anota. With infinite care the whole strand was taken out, and then, to the amazement of everybody, the 'bleeding stopped. There is every indication that the barber is now absolutely well, and that the new inner coating of the aorta is sufficiently strong to reinforce the weakened tissue that lies outside it. "I feel as well as I ever did in my life and work every day without fatigue," said Williams. Cupid Asks Trading Stamps Vineland, N. J.-Mahlon Nutt and Miss Ada Butcher completely spoiled their friends by quietly appearing at the Baptist parsonage and having Rev. Frank B. Lane perform the wedding ceremony. Mr. Nutt is the son of former Councilman Philip Nutt. The bride is a stenographer, and often joked Mr. Lane on giving trading stamps to induce matrimony among the young folks. The man of sermons jokingly promised to do so, and, to Mr. Lane's surprise she held him to his promise when the ceremony was performed. It is believed this is the first instance in New Jersey where the minister gave trading stamps. Claims New Virtue for Golf. London.—To the endless virtues claimed for golf Mrs. Madge Kendall, the actress, has added another. In presenting a cup won in competition she admitted that personally she knew nothing of golf, but understood it was a game highly commended by excellent mothers, who found it made their daughters so tired when they got home they went straight to bed. Latter Jumps from Window When Girl Turns on Spray. Chicago.—Congratulations are still being received by Margaret Hobbs, the 17-year-old daughter of Roy Hobbs, because she had routed a burglar. Miss Hobbs and her parents had been seated on their front steps for some time when Miss. Hobbs went into the house for a letter she wanted to mail. Suddenly there was a crash within. Mr. Hobbs rushed into the house. His daughter was standing near a window holding an atomizer in her hand. An odor of illac filled the room. The window was open. "Oh, you ought to have seen him run," laughed the girl. "I guess this gun of mine scared him more than he did me." Miss Hobbs then told her father that on entering the room she had dis covered the burglar. She took the atomizer from a bureau and turned the stream of perfume on the inuder. He jumped through the window. The sane burglar is believed to have robbed several houses in the same neighborhood of small sums. Miss Hobbs said: "I surprised him as much as he startled me. But, oh, it was funny. When he got a whiff of that perfume I guess he thought all the evil spirits were after him. "Was I frightened? Yes. I was, after it was all over." ALL BUTTER; EXIT BUTTERMILK. Inventor Claims New Churn Extracts Every Bit of Fat From Cream. Fond du Lac, Wis.—The extraction of every bit of butter fat and casein from cream and milk is the possibility claimed for a new process for manufacturing butter, a churn for which has been invented by J. M. O'Neil, of Dallas, Tex., and a company for the manufacture of which has just been incorporated in this city. The new process consists in constantly forcing air through the cream as it is churned. This is done by means of an air pump in the dasher handle, with minute holes all over the dasher. The oxygen in the air produces a chemical change in the cream, combining the butter fat with the casein and leaving only whey as the waste product. There is no buttermilk at all, it is claimed, every particle of solid matter being made into butter. It is claimed that in some cases over 100 per cent, more butter can be produced from the same quantity of milk. The churn can also be used for bleaching lard. Children Bring About Reconciliation Between Divorced Couple. Ithaca. N. Y.—Remarried after a separation of 28 years is the record just made by Col. Henry E. S. Kellogg and Mrs. Elizabeth Roshing Kellogg Henry Col. Kellogg married Elizabeth Roshing of Trumansburg more than 30 years ago, but after a few years the couple were divorced. Both were again married, but in recent years the partner of each has died. Col. Kellogg, who went west after the divorce, and eventually went to New York to live, recently visited his old home. The children of his first marriage brought about a meeting and a reconciliation has now resulted. Catch Is Woman's Scalp. Hartford. Mic' -While fishing at Hull lake, near here, men brought to the surface pieces of a woman's scalp with long hairs attached. Late last fall screams were heard at the Milo Root home, but as none of the women were at home no investigation was made and nothing was said until the piece of scalp was found. BABY CROP IS SCANT WOMEN IN EVANSTON, ILL., HOWEVER, ARE PLENTIFUL. Feminine Population of Fashionable Chicago Suburb Greatly Outnumbers Masculine—Figures of Recent Census. Chicago.—Evanston, north shore city of wealth, pride and culture, is gaining in feminine population, is losing her masculine inhabitants and is confronted with race suicide. This situation, regarded by sociologists as affording food for reflection, was revealed the other day with the completion of the city's annual school census. The figures showed an increase of 470 in the feminine population, a decrease of 42 in the number of masculine inhabitants and an increase of only seven in the number under 21 years of age. The census taker found that race suicide was prevalent almost altogether in the homes of the wealthy. In that part of the city given over to luxury, which furnished a total population of about 12,000, in school district No. 75, there were just about the same number of children that there were in the Fifth and Sixth wards, which furnished only 4,000 people. Victor McCulloch, the census taker, who is a Northwestern university student, said that even this showing in the wealthy homes was much better than it would have been had it not been that the malds and other servants under 21 years of age were included as among "the children." And there are considerably less children altogether in proportion to adults that there were a year ago. Especially in large districts of the city, which show an increase in the total population, there was a sharp decline in the number of children from last year. In the city as a whole there was an increase of just seven children under 21 years of age during the year. There are 4,197 boys under 21 years of age, a loss of five for the year, and there are 4,769 girls under 21 years, an increase of 12. School district No. 76, which includes the Third and Fourth wards in the southern, part of the city, showed a total growth of 79, but at the same time a loss of 66 children under 21 years of age. That Evanston is a w man's paradise is shown in the census revelation that there are 1,968 more females than males in the city. Last year the preponderance of women was only 1,456, but with 42 men gone there were enough females born or who moved into the town to add 512 to their majority. In fact, the city's growth has been entirely among its feminine population, no male having arrived to replace the 42 who departed. So the women have brought the total figures to 24,324, an increase of 428 over last year. "If the women continue to increase and the men continue to decrease the situation will offer a problem too deep for even President Roosevelt," said one observer. "No matter how much the women might be inclined toward matrimony, their opportunities are lacking. Evanston will become an old maids' home." A circumstance that has proved a surprise is the growth of race suicide among the negro population. Mr. McCulloch said that on Benson avenue, and in other districts occupied by negroes, the number of children was surprisingly small, not larger, in fact, than in the homes of the rich whites. Almost the only exception to the rule of small families among negroes was in the home of Rev. Mr. Gales, pastor of the Second Baptist church, where there was a family of eight children. University students were not included in the census. Had they been, the total population would have been nearly 2,000 greater and the disproportion of women even larger. SIGNS PLEDGE NOT TO FLIRT. Husband of Eight Months Will Make "Eyes" No More at Girls. Pittsburg. — Marry Mellows and Stephen Kerlock went to the marriage license office eight months ago, got a license and were married. Now, Mary has come back leading Stephen by the hand. As she had procured the necessary right to marry at that partichlar office, she concluded that it was there that she should air her troubles. Every since her marriage, she told the license clerk, her husband has persistently flirted with other girls. Even in church, when her head was bowed in worship Stephen would be making eyes at the pretty girls around him. Once he took another girl to church and into a front pew while the wife occupied the family pew in rage. Kerlock admitted all was true without the least shame. "You will have to sign a pledge to quit flirting," the clerk told him. After much hesitation he did so, and Mary, happy, led him away again. Uses Fireflies as a Lamp. Riverside. N. J.-Caleb Hatch was out late the other night with his bicycle with no lamp, and not caring to risk riding through the town without a light on his wheel he picked up a half pint whisky flask by the wayside and put a dozen fireflies in it. This he flung on the front of his machine and the flashing "lightning bugs" saved him from arrest, as the local policemen were satisfied when Hatch rode by with his wheel "all lit up." NOT ELKS' TEETH AT ALL. Commercial Article Made from Bone, Declares Fur Buyer. Kansas City, Mo.—Local hide and fur dealers are laughing right loud over the news from Philadelphia that the Elks adopted the plan of discard the elk's tooth as the emblem of the order so "that there may be an end to the wholesale slaughtering of the elk." Jewelers who handle elks' teeth say the stocks are low, and that they have not been added to in the last two years, but that the price has jumped from 50 cents to $10 per pair for the teeth. M. Lyons, who has been buying furs in Kansas City for a quarter of a century, declared that 50 cents a pair would be robbery for the commercial "elk's tooth" of to-day. "Because the supply is so great," was his reason. "The Elks need not worry about the supply, running out so long as Armour is running and has a bone pile. Armour sorts the bones for knife handles, piano keys and elks' teeth, among other things. The 'Best People on Earth' may weep as they sit in their lodges, for the slaughter of the poor elk that the members may have their teeth chattering all over their watch chains, their coat lapels, and in their pockets, but it would be going too far to stop the industry of hunting the elk's tooth. The clubman who thinks the elk's tooth is hunted in the far north might be shocked to learn that it is hunted in the bone pile. The dentists might tell him something about the porcelain elk's tooth." "About how many elk hides a year does your house get?" was asked, expecting the reply to be several thousand. "Not over a couple," it was thought. "How many elk hides are sold annually in the entire United States?" "Not over 100." "How many are shot by private hunting parties and the hides carried home?" "Not over 200 elk a year are shot on the continent," the fur buyer declared ruthlessly. "That means not over 400 elks' teeth available for the clubmen?" was suggested. "It does not mean anything of the sort. Half the number of heads are mounted intact, keeping the teeth in them." FINDS LOST TEETH IN PLUG. Waiters Aid Hotel Guest In Search For Missing Molars. Chicago.—A guest took a chew of tobacco in the Victoria hotel the other night and started trouble that reached to the furthermost limits of the hostelry. It all came to a focus in the cafe when the guests and waiters regarded with curiosity a guest who suddenly struck a match held it under the table and began a careful search for some lost article. All the other guests stopped to see where the torchlight procession was heading. The waiters flocked to aid the guest in the hope that they might recover a tip-provoking diamond. "Done drapped er di'mun, cap'n?" queried the head waiter. "No, confound it. I've lost two teeth." The waiter showed a double row of them, not as an alibi, but because the grin required it. The grin did the trick. Mad as a hornet the guest ran out to Clerk McHenry, who is as noted a peacemaker as ever stayed away from The Hague. "I'll make you pay for them!" he shouted. "What?" asked Mr. McHenry. "My teeth," said the guest. By this time everybody in the house knew that two bridge teeth, belonging to a well dressed man, had disappeared mysteriously. The whole house was searched. "Have you seen two teeth?" became the question of the hour. Finally the guest pulled a plug of tobacco from his pocket and started to take a bite. There, in the side of the plug, nestled the two missing teeth. "Here's where we dodge a law suit." "Here's where we dodge a law suit," said McHenry. BOYS TO PAY FATHER'S DEBTS. Sons of Ohio Forger Will Devote Lives to Work. Kenton, O.—The two sons of former Mayor Black, who declares part of the $28,000 proceeds of his confessed forgeries went to defray the expenses of the boys in college, will dedicate their lives to the repayment of the entire defalcation to the victims, Miss Harriet Stanley and Dr. Sepp. "I will see that every cent of the money is paid back," announced John Black, 22 years old. "This shall be the first aim of my life." "It shall be my duty likewise," declared his brother, William. "We will work together to remove the debt. I shall not rest until it is all discharged." John Black has ended his junior year at Wabash college, Crawfordsville, Ind. He had planned to enter the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania this fall. Instead he will sell molasses and callico over a Bucyrus counter. The younger brother had planned to return to Miami university. He had completed his first year there. "We were not extravagant at college," said John, "but it is torture to learn now that every cent we had was stolen by our own father. He loved us dearly. From our childhood days he had always told us how he was determined we should have the best of educations." LEGAL NOTICE. JAMES F.

TOO MANY WHITES, A Matter of Bad Blood Between the Two Races. ~ Trouble Now Serious. There are two races in every perso s blood, one is a red race and the other is a white race. The red race represents food and the wHite race repsesents the scavengers. The red race produces healthy color in your checks, healthy flesh on your bones, strength, brightness in your yes and all the happiness that comes from good health, The white race takes the impurities out of the blood and wards against disease. There can- ‘not be too many “Reds,” but if there are too many “whites,” then the blood is said to be thin, the face gets pale, and the whole body is open to attacks of any kind of disease.
