YO 27 NO. 17 FULTON'S DORMITORY RECORDER H. P. CHEATHAM SPEAKS AT THE HENDERSON NORMAL INSTITUTE. Littlepon, N. C., Sept. '07. Ex-Recorder H. P. Cheatham of Lit- ton, N. C., one of the most level- ed run in the country, delivered a timely address at the Henderson Normal Institute, Henderson, N. C., this week to thousands of farmers and stu- dents. The occasion was the dedication to the Fulton Dormitory for girls, a sage and handsome structure. Prof. J. Colton is the president of the school. His address was so well delivered and sentiments so fine. The Bee corres- sentent thought that the readers of this and the country ought to read it. where it is in full: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen—I ask you to consider my appearance on this occasion as an expression of real interest in this grand institution learning and in this beautiful city and community, whose citizenship is among the best people in our great State. Here I ambibed my first impressions of mankind and life, and can say to you, the teachers and promoters of this glorious and brilliant beacon light, how lucky and how happy you are to have your lot cast with these good people of both races, a people who will not shrink from duty, but will help those who will honour strive to help themselves, a people who love education, manhood and liberty. And to the patrons of this school, you can count yourselves fortunate that you are favored with such a college of learning and with such a God-fearing and competent corps of teachers to mould and shape and train your children to walk in the proper-paths of life. Now, with the hope that this and similar institutions of the land will vouchsafe to our waiting and anxious people a successful voyage from their unhappy and fortunate condition to the high and undisputed planes of citizenship, we greet this occasion with smiling faces and cheerful hearts, congratulating ourselves that we are a part and parcel of the wonderful expanding tide of opportunities and progress which is so beautifully flowing with silvery hue and providential air in every nook and corner of the land; and amid the flow of this welcomed and blessed tide, there seems to be an unseen hand of unusual accuracy, carefully placing and replacing, planting and replanting, nurturing and inspiring in all of the departments of the affairs of man instead of leaving him and his fields of operations to overflow and ruin or to waste and rot. Yea, the condition of the human family, nearly everywhere, is indeed optimistic. The favorable omen of the different seasons of the year, the prophetic signs as transmitted to us through the days and nights as they come and go and act as the timekeepers of man and the universe, the crowded avenues of trade and business in all quarters of the land, the jammed and congested conditions of the railroads which handle the commerce of a hustling yeomanry, the crowding and overflowing of the colleges everywhere with men and women who are ostensly and earnestly seeking a higher ennorship, all indicate and convince us that this is an age which tends toward copy and marvelous expansion in the years of life. Retrospective Glance.—When we dive in and unfurl the dusty annals of past, and there count, step by step, human achievements with the developments of this era, especially in the centrals of real life and the accomplishments of the objects for which the world and man were created, we at once a firm and unshaken conclusion that the tendency of this age moves irretribly and irrevocably on to those glorious heights of that intuitive and permanent expansion of human affairs for which the world has eagerly waited and expected, and of which kings, prophets, statesmen and potentates have long since predicted. The introduction of that glorious period of redemption was accompanied with stubborn and serious opposition; by generations of ruffians and vipers, who in their Ignorant and savage career spurned the purposes of a wonderful creation and feared no God, but blindly striving, as it were, with blindgeon and gun and stone to plunder and oppress and kill; it seemed that even in the very acme of the mind of that time it could not be lifted and expanded out of those narrow grooves of THE DEE WASHINGTON war, bloodshed, strife and iniquity which choked and sapped the very essence of the life of the world, which cut short and denied the human race for thousands of years of that progress, discovery and development intended for all. This thread of misconception and inhumanity continued on down through ages, leaving generations after generations unaware of what nature had in store for the world and man, accompanied with wild confusion and bedlams until all of a sudden the winds of the chosen people changed and the gloom of four thousand years was swallowed up in the short span of the cross,crucifixion crimson stain, torture and martyrdom, and now those limited and lurid conditions are wiped out and have gone down behind the dark horizon of the memorable past. How delighted are all now, that we are the happy embodiments and immediate participants of this golden and triumphant age of perfect reconciliation to peace and Christianity. The New Era. Now the way is clear, the whole world, especially America, is upon a permanent, wide awake, and broadening basis. Look at the great array of interests beaming up before us! Look at their streams, how they are expanding and bursting over the banks, and with what prosperity they send flowing through the land. The whole being of man seems to be permeated with that tenacious and unyielding spirit of going onward and upward, of building, and of enlarging, of facilitating, and of convenience, and of beautifying and of expanding the think of what proportions our great whole realm of human activity. Just government has extended its borders. If she continues at this rate, she will soon take in all the islands of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The increased facilities, inhabitants, and revenues from the Cuban, Porto Rican, Hawaiian, and the Philippines their immense wealth and have powerfully strengthened emment. No wonder the Am tion is both revered and fear the powers of earth. Her I trenchments are so powerful, her organic and basic principles so pure, her credit and integrity abroad so absolute and unquestioned, her judicial ermine and statesmanship executive heads in State and Nation are so admired and dreaded, her financial and tariff discoveries and enactments have awakened such keen surprise and yet such a complete acquiescence by all the countries of the globe, on account of which her incomes from her commercial intercourse with other nationalities amounts to enough annually to run our own government. Her army and navy stand out preeminently above all others and can easily presuade any of the powers of the earth, England not excepted, that it is better to arbitrate than fight America—the gravity of the issues to the contrary notwithstanding. In other words, she has extended her broad arms to such positive proportions that she can easily protect her rights and uphold the colors of her flag in every clime, on land or on sea. This marvelous disposition of expansion is gradually riveting and finding its way into the bosoms of the frends of education, especially in the heart of the philanthropist, for these agencies everywhere are at work, anxious and determined to ameliorate and mitigate the condition of our age. The colleges of the land which formerly refused to open their doors and admit to their high curriculum only the chosen few, are now anxiously urging all to come. There are more necessities for education than ever, on account of the increase of population and binding responsibilities, and the growing activities of the world, also more colleges than ever before; the doors thereof stand ajar as college doors never stood before; with larger doors, wider doors, and better doors, whose sacred and outstretched arms remain extended night and day to all the people, even in Africa, and in Burma and in the Isles of the seas. The hills and mountains of the land are dotted with these educational beacon lights, there seems to be a loud call, of great meaning from the heavens above, and a drum corps awakening from the ground beneath us. In a word, the dispensation of this age demands that the dark and narrow cells which have so long fettered and benighted and prevented the expansion of the human mind shall be burst asunder and that the whole people shall have a fair chance to be educated and elevated, to meet that impending avalanche of duty and responsibility by which this wonderful age is presenting.

CHEATHAM, EX-RECORDER OF DEEDS, His Manly Speech to the Citizens and F armers of the State of North Carolina. GRAND MASTER HOUSTON—NO COMBINATION CAN DEFEAT HIM. National Grand Master Houston in speaking to a representative of The Bee Tuesday declared among other things that he would be the next National Grand Master, notwithstanding the opposition against him. He asserts that his course is the correct one and no one can divert him from it. He peaks with a great deal of assurance. Notwithstanding the daily opposition that is growing up against him. In speaking of the election in Pennsylvania a few days ago he declared that the same men who were against him last year will be against him next year, but in face of the opposition he declared that he was elected. The Bee informed him after he had received his six hundred votes that was his limit, and the thousand or more HON. H. P. CHEATHAM, E. His Manly Speech to the Citizens and F Southern votes were compelled to leave on account of their tickets expiring. But the next time, he was informed, the South will encamp on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean but what every man is voted. He was asked if he did not know that Morris, of Illinois, and Jones, of Mississippi would be candidates against him? Their opposition dd not seem to disturb him in the least. The headquarters will not be removed to this city, declared Grand Master Houston. Of course, Mr. Houston is the entire order, and if a majority voted at the next B. M. C. Mr. Houston would stop it. The Grand Master seems to be quite certain of re-election, notwithstanding the majority will be against him. PENNSYLVANIA REPUDIATES HOUSTON AND HIS SUB-COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT. Lancaster, Penna., Sept. '07. The Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania of Odd Fellows met in this historic city and elected Ike Asbery, brother of Editor J. C. Asbery of the Odd Fellows' Journal, Grand Master of the State. Grand Secretary Needham, who led his and Houston's forces, was defeated by almost three to one. No proposition that was offered by Secretary Needham was considered. R. J. Nelson of Reading, Pa., presided and the fight was lively from start to finish. Needham could only muster 27 votes for his man against &2 for Asbery. This is supposed to be the stronghold of Needham and a good fighting ground for Houston, but the election of Asbery by such a large vote was a black eye to the Needham-Houston combination. Grand Secretary Needham was continually upon his feet and his many objections were without avail. The present Sub-committee of Management on the entire Houston combine was repudiated. This means the defeat of Needham for the next B. M. C. Secretary and Editor J. C. Asbery, who was insulted at the last meeting of the Sub-Committee of Management, but he resented the insult and compelled the offender to apologize. The meeting at Lancaster was the most enthusiastic that has ever been held in the State. By Miss Beatriz L. Chase. Many students of Howard are in the city ready to enter as soon as the appointed time arrives. A circular letter has been issued urging the people of Chicago to support the new charter for a Greater Chicago. Quite a large delegation came from Columbus, Ohio, to the Baptist Convention. Governor Vardaman has pardoned five men, convicted in 1904 for whitecapping and who were given a sentence of fifty years. A special commission, headed by James B. Reynolds, assistant secretary of the Treasury, sailed last Tuesday for Europe to investigate export prices and foreign market values. The Evening Star says the Brownsville matter has become political and is safe in the hands of politicians and "leaders of religious thought among the X-RECORDER OF DEEDS, armers of the State of North Carolina. Negroes (with a small n in Negroes) have their hands full with that subject." We wonder if the preachers among the Star's friends ever vote or have to do with politics. Was the recent Baptist Convention too great an eye-opener? As the incident touching the Brownsville affair occurred last week the Star should not have waited for adjournment this week to make its criticism. The Star should have told the preachers while in session what it says now that they have departed for their homes. Three different sets of Methodists in England were this week consolidated under the title of the United Methodist Church. William Johnson, brother of James Johnson, of this city, died in Richmond, Va., and Major Sylvester was asked last Monday to locate, if possible, the brother James, and inform him of the death. We made mention last week of the theaters doing business on Sunday, and are pleased to note that Captain Williams, of the First Police Precinct, has reported the conditions to the Commissioners, and they referred the mtater to the corporation counsel's dvice. M. M. O. Change, chief clerk of the Postoffice, says the Jamestown Exposition is O. K. The principal address last Tuesday, Constitutional Day at Jamestown, was delivered by Judge A. B. Parker, of New York. Attorney General Bonaparte denies the rumor that he is to resign. The Playground Association has approved the selection of the triangle in front of the Center Market for a playground. The celebration of the Hebrew New Year lasted for some days, and the most solemn was Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and was observed by fasting and prayer. The Mosaic Guide reproduces an article from the leading paper in Victoria, B.C., which speaks in the highest terms of Judge M. W. Gibba, now of Little Rock. Many warrants have been issued recently in this city charging dealers in milk and cream with violating the pure food law. Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, who is con- fined in the Ohio State Pentitentiary, was stricken sightless while talking to her son this week. It is said that there is but little danger of any great increase in the price of beef in the city. Many delegates to the Baptist Convention sailed last Monday evening on the steamer Jane Mosely for the Jamestown Expoxosition. The letter carriers in this city will be furnished hereafter with street car tickets to use when on duty. St. Paticks Academy, the largest parochial school in the District, opened last Monday. The cause of the explosion of fifteen thousand pounds of powder at the Equitable Powder Works, at East Alton, remains a mystery. Many were kelled in the wreck on the Boston and Maige Railroad at West Canaan, sixty miles north of Concord, N. H., last Monday morning. A mob at Pittsburg this week nearly lynched a detective in mistake for a non-union mill-worker who had shot some union men. The large new children's room at the Public Library was opened last Monday. About fifty thousand persons participated in the carnival at the celebration of Coney Island last Monday night. Owing to the difficulties of transportation over the Anacostia bridge, the Anacostia Railroad Company has substituted closed for open cars. These cars will not be allowed to carry more than fifty passengers at a time while crossing the bridge. The opinion of the nine clergymen who have been visiting here from North Carolina is that this city is the greatest and finest. Mr. Carnegie contributed $750,000 for the building for the International Bureau for American Republics which is to be erected in this city. A number of delegates from Austin Texas, attended the National Convention last week. Mr. Joseph Douglass is said to have opened a conservatory of Music and Lyceum Bureau in New York City. Influential Arkansas Delegation Presents the Name of Lawyer Scipio A. Jones. On last Saturday a delegation of influential citizens of Arkansas visited the Department of Justice to lay before the Attorney General the claims of Mr. Scipio A. Jones, a prominent member of the bar of little Rock, Arkansas, who is a candidate for the post of Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. The delegation of prosperous looking and business like men of affairs was headed by Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, who presented the qualifications and especial fitness of Mr. Jones in a quiet but eloquent address, and it seemed quite evident from the cordial manner in which the body was received and the care with which the formidable batch of recommendations was examined that an excellent impression had been created in behalf of their candidate. Dr. J. P. Robinson also spoke. In the absence of Attorney General Bonaparte, the Arkansas gentlemen were received by Acting Attorney General Charles W. Russell, of Virginia, whose affable bearing and genial countenance made them feel thoroughly at home amid the august departmental surroundings. Those composing the delegation, besides Chairman Morris and Dr. Robinson, were Revs. R. M. Caver, S. A. Moseley, D. B. Gaines, S. S. Odom and Dr. H. W. Suggs and Mr. William Alexander. The party was introduced by Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Indiana, the well-known general correspondent. The race has but one appointee of the kind sought—in the person of Mr. W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Massachusetts. As Mr. Jones represents the dominant political faction of the State of Arkansas, and is endorsed by the best jurists of that State, regardless of color, it is thought that his chances for success are very bright.

The marriage ceremony is to be solemnized at Tuskegee Institute during the latter part of the month of October. THE REGISTER SPEAKS. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, by invitation, addressed the National Baptist Convention yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and among other things said: I am sure that it gives me great pleasure to lay aside the duties of my office to visit this most representative body of men who are giving their lives to the cause of education and the Christianization of our race throughout the world. I have been impressed with the solidity of your leaders—the conservatism of your presiding officer, and the personne of the active forces of this great body—the serious-minded men of this gathering, who feel the weight of the problems before us—who see the dutigs which lie nearest us, and are working with heart and soul toward the amelioration of the untoward conditions now the portion of our race. I am convinced that by the adoption of right methods we are to find a better day for the American Negro. All the elements of our national life are moving toward an improved condition. It is inconceivable that in this era of progress, right should not triumph, and justice should not finally be done to all the people. The American Republic, the hope of free government throughout the world, has a mission so lofty that its carrying out necessarily involves that "righteousness which exalteth a nation." When men understand that their duties include the granting of rights to their fellowmen and that the Golden Rule in affairs of State, Church and home is the only rule which can be subjected to the test of divine scrutiny, then shall we see an era of greatness, in harmony with divine purpose. Governments are strongest which live in the hearts of their subjects. Patriocrism is the outgrowth of an intelligent appreciation of the goodness and justice of human government. To educate the Negro to a full appreciation of his rights and duties, to insist upon a performance of his duties and to insure him his rights will lead to the nearest possible perfection in national effort, and rapidly bring us forward to a realization of the hopes of the most sanguine dreamer who ever wrought for the liberation of human kind. So then—I repeat, to ask for the rights of a people, to educate them know and perform their duties is the highest possible service which this great convention can render the American nation. I am in sympathy with you, and have a feeling stronger than denominational lines. We may not all see alike on non-essentials, but on those essential things which make for a better day for the Negro, all leaders must agree. Worshipping the same God, paying homage to the same Christ alike, and preaching His gospel, working for and with a struggling race, we can but be united and must work together. As one holding official position, I desire you to feel me with you, at all times, and consider me as everybody's Register and with all men who desire the uplift of the race, regardless of denomination or creed. Let us be hopeful and the years which unfold will see the accomplishment of our aims and the fruition of the hopes of ten million struggling people. NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. A Resolution Endorsing the Petition to Present to the Sixteenth Congress. Resolved that we, the National Baptist Convention, do heartily endorse the petition for the passage of bills to reimburse depositors of the Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company to provide a home for aged and infirm colored people and to aid in the Industrial Education of the colored youth of the South out of the money in the treasury due deceased colored soldiers and depositors of the Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company, that cannot be paid to individual claimants on account of previous condition.

There are a good many articles of food which are digested easily, but which lack flavor and the palate easily tires of them. One of these is eggs, and the difficulty can be overcome by serving them with some decided flavor. Tomato sauce, anchovy toast, stewed celery, and many other things will suggest themselves to the mind of the housekeeper who is seeking to make this easily digested nutritive food acceptable to some member of her family. Sometimes it can be flavored with a sprinkling of cheese, sometimes worked into the diet in some other form as custards. The principle in dealing with the simple foods for invalids or people who have some difficulty in nutrition is to use flavors in different forms with discretion to avoid tiring the taste and yet give the amount of nutrition necessary under cover of different flavors. Regenerate Salta. Smelling salts can be made to last for years if fresh spirits are poured over the balls of salt from time to time, so as to keep up the original strength of the mixture. Many people use spirits of ammonia in this connection, but a still more powerful specific may be found in a combination of this spirit with oil of lavender, in the proportion of two parts of the former to one of the latter. In procuring the ammonia, however, care must be taken to avoid choosing aromatic spirits of ammonia in error; the water which it contains preventing it from amalgamating with the oil. Take one pint of boiled and mashed potatoes, one half cup of hot milk three tablespoonfuls or butter, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two eggs, a little nutmeg, one teaspoonful salt. Add the milk, butter, sugar and seasoning to the mashed potatoes, then add the eggs, well beaten. Stir until smooth and light, spread about one-half inch deep on a buttered dish and set aside to cool. When cold cut into squares, dip into beaten eggs and in bread crumbs, fry brown in boiling fat and serve immediately. Fig Jelly. Pick over, wash and soak over night in cold water one pound of cooking figs. Cook in the water in which they were soaked over a very slow fire until tender. Drain off the liquid and to each pint of it add the juice of two lemons, a half cup of sugar and a half ounce of gelatine, soaked beforehand in three tablespoonfuls of cold water. Strain through a jelly bag into molds wet with cold water, and set aside until cold; then put in the ice chest until firm. Eat with cream. The jelly should be a rich amber color. The Baby's Blb. Danish angora cloth is splendid material for infants' bibs on account of its weight, and it launders beautifully. The embroidery should be done with a fairly heavy cotton and the stitches should be close and even. If daisies are used in embroidering the bib they should be worked in satin-stitched, the leaves voided, or, in other words, worked from mid-vein to edge on both sides. French knots may be used to fill the centers. A lingerie, button and a little loop close the bib at the back. Ice Cream Cake. To the yolk of one egg and the whites of three add one cupful of sugar, one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of sweet milk, one-half cupful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Bake in loaf. Icing—Beat the yolks of two eggs, to which add eight tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and flavor to taste. Boston Ginger Bread.

Millions of Instruments Are in Use In This Country. Washington. — Statistics issued at the close of the year 1906 show that there were in use in the United States alone more than 7,000,000 telephones, while an aggregate of a little more than 6,000,000 miles of wire was used for telephone service. The telephone industry gives employment to 90,000 persons in the United States, an increase of 171 per cent. in six years, while during the same period the number of stations has increased 239 per cent. and the wire mileage 349 per cent. There is little doubt that much of this increase is due to the general adoption of the so-called message rate system in place of the flat annual charge formerly in vogue. By making the charges proportional to the number of calls the use of the telephone has been widely extended both because of the greater willingness of people to become subscribers under such conditions and because the system gives an incentive to the local telephone companies to give good service and encourage the use of the telephone. Another cause for the increase in the number of telephones in use is doubliess the large business builcities, since the ten solute necessity in building, making it sact business as well from the tleth story as from the floor The installation of the telephone every suite in the modern hotel large apartment house accounts for portion of the increase SHAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUG Head of Family Undergoes Tormen to Help Wife Get Carpet. Trenton, N. Y—When the new rite is laid in Grace Baptist church, about four yards of it will be consecrated in the fortitude of Henry Lonsdale Every thread represents a whisker which Lonsdale submitted to a rank wielded by his wife Mrs. Lonsdale is a member of the Ladies' Aid society, which planned to buy the church carpet on the self-delic plan. There is some difference of opinion on this point the men asserting that Lonsdale showed himself a martyr, while the women are congratulating the wife. While other women baked bread and sewed, Mrs. Lonsdale decided she would shave her husband, and chap him 15 cents for the operation. It not on record how Lonsdale first received the proposition but the fact that he consented to act the vices is proof that his wife has the true religious spirit. For four months did Lonsdale through the shaving process. He could believed that a shave once a day was a necessity, but under the skills manipulation of his wife he discovered that he could get along on three shaves a week. Only once did Mrs Lonsdale say "Does the razor hurt?" He did not swear; he did not groan, but the look of anguish was enough RROM ONE FORMULA jx TASTY AND ATTRACTIVE DISHES MAY BE MADE, sgreavents Required Are Simple and Aways on Hand—Dutch Rolls a Weleome Addition to Any Menu. } ave found, after a great many ex- ~ , nts, that no less than six tasty, ong and eatremely ecgnomical : ""puay be made from this one | 2 et reliable formula, properly ed owt, Svs “A.

A woman who does her own work and yet likes to entertain a good deal has brought order out of chaos and made the work lighter for herself by Mmiting her dinner to three hot dishes. She serves first iced canteloupe, grape fruit or oysters, according to the sea- son; then meat, potatoes and one veg- etable. “Salad and dessert are pre- pared before hand, and so Is the coffee. ‘She serves all but the three hot dishes —which, of course, must be brought from the kitchen—from a small serv- ing table at her side, which has two shelves beneath it and an outstanding bracket shelf for the clean and used dishes. The coffee, in a French coffee pot, stands on one of the brackets of the serving table and boils merrily until required, PLUMS SERVED IN BATTER. Dessert That Is Especially Popular with Masculine Palates. Make a batter with two beaten eggs, five tablespoonfuls of flour, rather more than a pint of milk, and a pinch of salt. Remove the stones from a quart of large, rtpe plums, crack them, put the kernels inside of the plums again, mix the fruit with two heaping tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and stir {t Mghtly into the batter. Turn it into a buttered pudding dish, and bake in a hot oven until done, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve hot with half a cupful of but- ter one enpful of sugar and one well- beaten czx stirred to a cream and flavored with half a teaspoonful of nec- larine This dessert.is especially popu- lar with masculine palates, Belt for Old.Gloves, Every girl finds tn her possesston one or more pairs of discarded Jong gloves. Pretty and durable suede belts can be made from the same by simply ripping up the seam and cut ting off the hand. The glove is then the right shape for the belt when opened out and two pieces joined in the center. Line the glove with silk cut on the bias, turn over the edges, and stitch on the machine, Also atitch the back and finish with three gold bosses or flat buttons covered with kid cut from the hands of the gloves, Another way of finishing Is te tle the kid In three or four small bows. For the front use a pearl butkle or a small steel one covered with the feather. To Clean Trimminas. | Among the new embroideries are ‘those in raised silver and gold work. These are handsome and expensive, and one who knows says they should never be brushed {n the ordinary way of cleaning trimmings, but that a piece of crimson velvet should be taken and rubbed very slowly and gently over them. Of course, we are all familiar with the use of black velvet as a dust cloth for hats and fine black materials, the fine nap penetrating and carrying away dust without Injury where noth- ing else could, but what virtue there 1g In crimson velvet, aside from its tex- ture, Is hard to guess, but It {s possi: ble, of course, that there may be some effect im the dye used, Cold-Water Process of Canning. ~ ‘Wash the fruit thoroughly, and in case of rhubarb cut into small pieces, as for ples. If gooseberries are used, top and tall them. Pack Into glass jars that have been sterilized and then fill the jars to overflowing with fresh- ly drawn water. Put on the covers and let them stand overnight, By the next morning you will find that the fruit has taken up more or less of the water, and that there {s quite a vacuum to be filled. Drain off the water and fill again with fresh cold water to overflowing, letting the water come with sufficient force to drive out any air, Then seal closely and put away for winter use. Gooseberry Preserves. , For every quart of rough red goose- berries which have been stemmed and ended, take one pound of white sugar, dissolve It in the preserving kettle with enough water to make a thick sirup. Let boil 20 minutes, skim- ming well; then put in the gooseber- ries and boil five minutes; then set by until the next day, when boll again until they have a clear look and the sirup is thick. Pour into hot jelly glasses and cover whon cool. Milk-Stewed Potatoes. Into double boiler put three eups of milk, one quart of sliced raw pota- toes (measure after slicing), salt and pepper to taste. Keep covered and cook till tender—about an hour. Then beat two eggs, add’ one cup milk, and taking the boller from the fire, mix with potatoes, stirring quickly, then set boller Hack for few minutes to cook the eggs. + Mint Punch of Ginger Ale. Make a rich lemonade by bolling one quart of water and one cupful of sugar together for five minutes and adding the juice, of five lemons, the grated rind of one, when the sirup Is cool.

Gollector Gets a Silver Coin Stamped 103 Years Ago. Philadelphia. — A single United States silver dollar of the coinage of 1804 brought $3,600 here the otRer day at the sale of the collection of the Inte M, A. Stickney, the best price during the sale except $8,200, which a dealer pald for a famous Brasher’s New York doubloon, the face value of which 1s only $16, There are but elx specimens of the 1804 dollar known to be ertant, one of which {s now at the mint in this ‘elty. Stickney received the rare coin on May 9, 1843, from the local mint in exchange for other coin. It weighs a trifle less than 416 grains, and, having been kept in a chamoise bag, it {a extremely fine and brilliant, Before it changed hands again to- day at the end of: 64 years, dealers and collectors vied with ‘one another in raising its value with their spirited bidding. Mr. Chapman, who finally carried it off, opened the bidding with $1,000. His competitors run the price up in jumps of $250 at a time, until the price had soared to $3,000. Then Mr. Chapman's bid of $3,600 got the treasure. Equally interesting was the bidding for an 1§15 United States half eagle, which was fipally captured by 3. H. Chapman for $2.000.

Hatfeld returned the l- cense and wanted his fee returned.

The National Baptist Convention convened in this city last week and ended Monday. There were some manly men in that body who reflected credit upon the colored race. There were others who belonged too that class known as trimmers and apologists, who are impediments to the colored race. The resolutions that were unanimously reported from the committee on resolutions were manly and should have been adopted. When the president of the convention threatened to resign, a number of the delegates weakened which forced a compromised resolution. It was not because the sentiment of the convention and the entire audience were with the present administration, but because the delegates were influenced by the president's bluff. He should have been given an opportunity to have resigned. The manhood of the colored Americans should not have been crushed out by any such threats. The president would not have resigned had the report of the committee been adopted. The compromised resolutions were adopted it is true, but the sentiment of the people is not changed. It was a sentimental trick of the trimmers who have been promised official recognition by someone. The Bee is informed that the trimmers have been promised offices. The people will have seen whether this compromised resolution was offered in good faith or whether there is a consideration behind it. What the National Baptist Association wants is a strong head: a man who has the love of the race at heart above a selfish ambition. WHERE DO WE STAND? It is about time for the citizens of this city to have a watchful eye of their surroundings. There is a disposition on the part of someone to crowd out the real citizen for interlopers. The question which is uppermost in the mind of The Bee is, Where do the citizens stand? The interloper is grasping everything in sight. At his own home he is a nonentity. The citizen seems to take up the interloper who has no standing at his own home and push him into power and place him in positions of honor and trust, to their own detriment. The time has come for home rule to assert itself. The time has come for the real citizen to act. Then, again, if you place the old citizen in power he will reach out and extend a helping hand to the interloper, to his own detriment. The question is again asked, Where do we stand? DEFENSE FOR LIBERTY. Revs. W. Bishop Johnson, C. S. Morris, Walter N. Brooks, S. L. Corrothers were the few divines in the Baptist Convention who made gold strike for Negro manhood These men are not trim- and traitors to the race. have education! Education means to wake a man up, draw him out, straighten him erect, to grind and chise) off his rough, uncouth and unmanly growths, yea, it shakes his mighty dungeon of lethargy, ignorance and superstition, one of its objects is to prepare man to do well all grades of work, and to dignify labor. It takes off the rubbish and leaves man a polished and polite gentleman; it snatches from the fingers of the poor sportman his little cane and his twenty-five-cent cigar; it lays at the feet of the "dude" his fantastically ro ar robe of jolly and vanity, and enables him to roll up his sleeve like a man and engage earnestly in the gainful pursuits of life and there share in the health, happiness and fortunes of those advancing times. Moreover, its mission is to restrain the passions, appetites of man from low to lofty ideas and when the minds and very lives of all are actuated and filled with the proper spirit of the creation of man and matter, when the human family, all classes, all the people commence to crave to live and enjoy that high, civilized, industrious, honest and pure life which education and religion establish, the grave problems and burning questions of today, such as "labor troubles," race antigathy, lynching, graft and even railroad rates will be solved, answered and settled once for all. This beneficent hand of progress is seen and felt wherever the duty of man how busy and overcrowded the great is faithfully performed. It is remarkable paths of traffic and commerce are kept on land and sea, home and abroad, conveying and handling and removing, to and from the markets of the world the great products from the fields of agriculture, from the mines in the mountains, from the mills and facotries and from the crude forests at large. Graceful as the breezes play. The building and beautifying of the mighty towns and cities, and the broadening and extending the bulwarks of the same, and the wielding of the chisel and the ax, the shovel and the pick, the ringing of the hammer and the anvil, tell the tale in every community, a "busy workshop." A worthy insignia of a noble and proud people. No longer does the old sickening, sinful, idiotic and erroneous idea prevail which once took possession of almost all classes of men in this country, that it is lowering and unbecoming a gentleman to take off his coat in public as well as in private and roll up his sleeves and hustle to a finish whatever his hands find to be done in the line of his business. Derision and ridicule have lost their fangs, no longer will the young men of today be frightened with their ghostly shadow. The new fields of opportunity, wealth and usefulness, though hard labor it may be, are drawing men with stronger cords than the pressure of his necessities can force him or the customs of pride can intimidate. This progressive and expanding hand is still seen among the ingenuities and the advanced forces for the common good, convenience and happiness of man. Science can certainly come in for her share of honors under this theme; for its triumphant victories have been phenomenal beyond the limit. Why should not the world be amazed at the ieda of a lengthy message being thrown out in the open ether and forced by scientific skill for thousands of miles upon the vibrating wheels of the air. In the medical world, the operating knife was not known until of recent years only to extract splinters, remove ingrowing nails, and to relieve the surface bruises; but today through the expanding skill of science, it has become the great pruner of the human body. With it the broken, superfluous and unhealthy limbs are eliminated, the morbid clots, ulcerous and numerous growths internally which make life short and wretched are wiped out, giving the lifeblood a free circulation in all the veins and arteries. Also the "X-Rays" with its powerful searchlight penetrating through and through the whole human frame, lighting up and presenting to view all the hidden recesses of the body, enabling the eye to locate and the knife to remove the most minute and hidden malady, relieving the sufferer, while before its discovery, generations after generations filled untimely graves. This age is noted for such wonderful strides! The bosoms of explorers, and scholars remain charged with that peculiar aching void which the world cannot fill, they are not contented with using the thoroughfares and mysterious paths of the mighty deep in which to display their wondrous ingenuity. in building, manning and manipulating the great traversing vessels of commerce and war upon the seas of the world; but they are wild and determined to extend their fields of operation in the undiscovered reakns above, yes, in the skies. They have already commenced their experiments with the airships, marking out the sphere-without regard to cost of money or human life. Now, if they succeed and git to going successfully toward the heavens, who lives where they may finally land—and what regions they may pervade? However, let us possess our souls in the sweet hope that should they reach the safe point where they can supplant the railroads in conveying interstate passengers—especially to points like New York, Chicago and London—that we may be blessed with a trip or two across the continent during our lives, becoming better acquainted with the communities above us. We see upon the surface of the earth and feel in the very air around us that pleasant and alertful spirit of expansion and development. Fifty or sixty years ago, the goods we wore on all occasions were carded upon the laps of the women and spun with a small spinning wheel turned by one hand and the thread thereof manipulated from the spindle with the other and then taken to a great wooden frame loom as large as a house, in which the weaver would sit for weeks, shooting the shuttle from right to left. In reversing the machine with the foot treadle below, it would chage the weft and filling as the shuttle would dart across the loom, taking a month or so to card and spin and weave eight or ten yards of cowhair cloth; but now one person can operate hundreds of cards, spindles and looms at one and the same time, doing better and more weaving in one month than was done formerly in two years. These advancements are not mere talk nor something out of your sight, for this awakening impetus has struck this, your own thriving city. Forty or fifty years ago, Henderson was a mere little hamlet on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, with five small stores Messrs, J. H. Lassiter & Son, Parry Wyche, Lewis Kittrell & Dunn, Burwell & Parham, a livery stable, and a small Brokers' Exchange, managed by Mr. West Reavis, a small depot, a warehouse a little larger than the tobacco and cigar stand near the railroad crossing, and Mr. Ledbetters' hotel, with a drummer dropping in now and then. Her streets and sidewalks, not as good as the public roads now; but examine her today. Go into her business and industrial departments and tell us to what magnitude she has expanded. Look at her cotton mills, her tobacco factories, her oil and electric plants, her waterworks, her solid front of brick and granite structures, her paved and asphalt streets, her hundreds of palatial residences of the latest and most costly styles, observe her fine schools and flourishing churches for both races and one of the most reputable, newsy, and conservative newspapers published in the United States, whose editor watches diligently the interests and common good of his entire people. "The Henderson Gold 'Leaf' never refuses to let the world know of its people, especially when they are doing well. In a word, just think of the changed conditions. Fifty years ago this identical spot was one of the waste places of the community, a barren thicket used by the slave to hide from his master to while away a few moments in that leisure and sport which they could not otherwise get with their fellows, enjoying a game of hustle cap and dice. But, look here at this sacred spot today. It is clothed in another garment. It has deserted its old haunts of idleness, it has with one effort leaped high upon the mountains of activity and great usefulness. Holding high beyond the trees a light to guide the feet of the erring ones. It seems to have been quickened by some friendly and mysterious power, to the end that it is giving its time and capacity, no longer as a thicket or woods to shield the idler in his games and pasumes, but to higher and nobler purposes. The Henderson Normal Institute stands upon this lovely hill with unfolded arms to welcome worthy young men and women to enter and prepare themselves for lifes' varied avocations, and for the uplifting and saving a needy and appreciative people. May it continue to grow in strength and beauty, in usefulness and in the favor of all the good people, both rich and poor, both high and low, both white and colored—until its great good shall be felt by all and its fruit seen to multiply and remultiply in all quarters of the land. Surely the great Architect of the Universe will some day bless the men and women who have saved their earnings and used them to build and beautify the waste places of His earth to the glory of their Yellow-man. Now, our people, let me appeal to you; arouse and be earnest, as I have told you this is a peculiar and rapidly advancing age. You are largely the laboring class. Upon common labor the success or failure, the rise or fall of the masses of the race in the future entirely depends and the time will come; yea, it is almost at hand when it will be a serious question if this opportunity to labor is given to your hands as now. The Bureau of Labor and Printing in North Carolina reports that Negro labor in ninety-six counties in our State is unreliable and worthless. Of course this is not the case, and we cannot afford to have this said truthfully of our people. The hordes of Europe who were once sold in the market places of England like sheep in the shambles are wild to come to this country to take your places, on the farms, in the shops, in the mines, in trusty position in private families, and on the public works; in other words, in all the avocations of life. Let us gird up our loins, therefore, and do better work and more work than any other class, with an honest desire to benefit our employer as well as ourselves. Then we shall make friends and hold our own in the ranks of the millions who are progressing and advancing with the sweeping current of a glorious prosperity. In order to succeed and hold our own in the ranks of men, we must not be slow in speaking out and giving credit to those who have the courage and friendship to speak out for us—the race cannot do too much honor nor give too much credit to Governor Glenn and ex-Governor Aycock. Both of these great men have gone on record in this State in the defense of our education and our rights before the courts of the land. Both of their administrations have been exceedingly frenely to us and I believe a brighter and better day will soon dawn upon us all in North Carolina. And to you farmers: take fresh courage, renew your hold; improve your farms, buy more lands, beautify your homes, educate your children and, besides, increase your bank account every year until you have become thoroughly independent. THE "WIZARD" IN WASHINGTON Dr. Booker T. Washington Scores a Signal Triumph Before the National Baptist Convention—Central School of Theology in Heart of the South Suggested—Ten Thousand People Crowd the National Capital's Largest Auditorium—Exploit the Friends of the ..Race a Keynote. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the foremost educator and man of affairs of the race spoke to a brilliant audience of nearly ten thousand people on Friday evening September 13 as the principal feature of the Twenty-seventh Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention. The reception accorded the Tuskegee "Wizard" was the most enthusiastic he has ever received in the Nation's Capital, and his own fame and the popularity of the great convention which called him here are greatly enhanced thereby. Long before the hour announced for the beginning of the exercises, the vast crowd was gathering from all quarters of the city, and when Dr. Washington appeared in the hall, under escort of a special committee appointed by the convention and by many personal friends, Convention Hall, fully one block long, was packed to the doors and hundreds were compelled to stand. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist Convention for fourteen years, occupied the chair, and introduced the speaker in a most felicitous address, in which he said that for five consecutive years the races' largest organized body had been favored with a message of cheer from Dr. Washington, one of their own faith and order, and described his as "the best-known Negro in America, and at the same time the least-known in some quarters, because of the haze of misrepresentation and calumny which had preceded his real worth from being as widely known as his merits deserved. Tonight, however, that haze would be moved through hearing the man himself, and the true Washington would be revealed as he is." Dr. Morris' eloquent tribute was applauded to the echo, and when Dr. Washington arose to begin his address the salute was given, and repeated waves of applause, continuing for several minutes, greeted him until he was compelled to signal for order. Dr. Washington was in splendid voice, his ringing tones being heard with distinctness in every portion of the vast auditorium. He was never in better humor, and his witty sallies and neat compliments, as well as his fund of brand-new anecdotes and illustrations, brought forth tumultuous evidences of approval. The serious thread of his story was listened to with rapt attention, and at every point there was thorough accord between the speaker and his appreciative audience. The intellectual, moral, and economic growth of the race was dwelt upon at length, and the usual optimistic current ran through the entire address, breathing encouragement in every paragraph. The power of organized effort, the accumulation of the race in land-owning, in the acquisition of Church property, in schools, teachers, graduates, capably-equipped ministers, with a proper criticism of those who are not so capable or worthy, and a note of hope for the future, were treated in vigorous fashion, and the hypocrites who thrive on the troubles of the race, painting pictures of despair for the benefit of their own pockets, condemning and denouncing indiscriminately, without making tangible efforts to build up something for themselves, were handled without gloves, to the delight of the thousands of helpful factors present. The race problem solvers who cannot solve their individual problems came in for a merited, lashing, and the value of concrete achievement in comparison with impotent con- plain and misdirected agitation, were shown to be a deficient to the best interests of the race at large. To make ourselves desirable citizens by character, industry and moral influence was held up as our primal duty, and with a rigid adherence to the gospel of work, to getting a footing in the soil, and digging deep into the nature that knows no color line, we can rise to the same heights that have been attained by other races who have striven for themselves with intelligence and persistence. He urged that the names of the friends of the race be made prominent, rather than the enneies of the black man. Our friends are not fewer, and he told a delightful frog story as an illustration of the fact that our enemies are making more noise than their numbers would warrant, and we must not be deceived into thinking that they are in the majority, South or North. Race pride was also urged, and for himself he said that could he be born again he would pray the Almighty to make him again American Negro. He cherished the strength that came from the sodlution of great problems, and prized the power to lift up the weak and unfortunate. The "floating minister" was treated to a severe dose, but as a remedy for the pulpits that were lacking in sound material he advocated the immediate establishment of a large central theological, school for the training of competent and consecrated preachers of the Word, to be located somewhere in the heart of the South, where the main body of the race resides and must remain for an indefinite period. This thoughtful suggestion was really the keynote of his address, and formed the basis for all that was said relative to economic, moral, intellectual and industrial development, as a race weak in the fundamentals of progress—finance business and industrial opportunity — must necessarily be weak in moral stamina and the power to protect itself against the encroachments of the stronger races. All references to politics were scrupulously avoided. He closed expressing unbounded confidence in a race whose past had been so brilliant and productive, both as to the development of matter and men. The consensus of opinion among the people, as they crowded up to grasp his hand, was that Dr. Washington was at his best on this occasion and that he had truly made "the speech of his life." It was with difficulty that the distinguished educator could get to his carriage when he was compelled to desist from the hand-shaking and a cordon of guards was necessary to "rescue" him from his more aggressive admirers. Dr. Booker T. Washington, to use a colloquial term, has "won a home" in the Nation's Capital, and his appearance before the National Baptist Convention, and again to receive the heart endorsement of the representatives of the two and a half millions constituting the great Baptist denomination, sets at rest forever any doubt that may have existed as to his acceptability or popularity as a leader of his people. Entertained by Professor Bruce. Dr. Washington, accompanied by his younger son, Ernest Davidson, and traveling secretary, Mr. J. R. Cox, reached the city Friday afternoon at 4:15, coming directly from their summer home at Huntington, Long Island, New York and were met at the Pennsylvania Station by a committee of ten from the National Baptist Convention, and were driven in carriages to the handsome Girard street home of Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the Washington public schools. Professor Bruce and his charming wife had prepared an elegant dinner, and besides the distinguished guests there were present during the function several well-known local citizens, among them Judge Robert H. Terrell, Auditor Ralph W Tyler, Mr. R. R. Horner, member of the Washington Board of Education, Mr. H. C. Tyson, of the Sixth Auditors Office, Architect W Sidney Pitman, Mr. Whitfield McKinlay and Mr. R. W. Thompson. At the close of the "smoker" following the dinner, the special escort committee, headed by Dr. M. W. D. Norman, Drs. W. A. Credit, Walter H. Brooks, A. N. McEwen and W. G. Parks, for Dr. Washington, and the speaker of the evening, accompanied by this party, repaired to Convention Hall in four carriages for the exercises of the evening. At 11 p.m. Dr. Washington and his son and Secretary Cox departed for Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, delighted with the thrilling events of a day that promises to live in history. The statement published somewhere that Dr. Booker T. Washington tried to control the affairs of the National Medical Association at Baltimore by having Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician at Tuskegee Institute, elected president, is all "poppycock"—as the peripherators of this piece of journalistic mendacity well know, and as the records of the deliberations of the body will show. Dr. Kenney has been secretary of the association for several years, and was complimented by a unanimous reelection as such. However capable he may be as a medico and as a parliamentarian to adorn the presidency, Dr. Kanye was not a candidate for that office and was not at any time mentioned in connection with it. Some people ought to learn that malicious misrepresentation never profits anybody in the long run—R. W. Thompson in the Florida Sentinel. REV. J. ANDERSON TAYLOR. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, was the vice president of the National Public Convention representing the District of Columbia. Dr. Taylor is a gifted teacher and a fine presiding officer, he proved over the convention Monday morning September 16. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, the resident from the District of Columbia called the National Baptist to order this morning, and to address, saying that the people of the city are delighted to have the convention here, and that they will be felt for many years to come. "What we should do in the speaker said, "is to for ourselves. No man this world without friend invention must look after the masses of the Negroes in all parts of the country, and if we fail to do so we will suffer. I am amused to have the pleasure of presiding the morning—the beginning of the closing day of the convention." AGAINST OPPOSITION In another column of the will be read with interest the opening of the theater in New Orleans, La., under the stage of colored Americans. It is one of the finest buildings in the South. This is an evidence that colored Americans South are doing against opposition. In the North, where the colored man has no opposition, so to speak, in theay of establishing business enterprises, he seems to be behind. The officers' this new theatrical enterprise are one of the leading citizens in the city of New Orleans. The Bee congratulates the gentlemen connect with this new movement, especially the son of Col. James Lave, who is well known to the people in the United States. In this city we have about ninety thousand colored citizens who take every result and indignity offered ever as a necessity for a theater in the city, owned and controlled by colored people; it is now, then without a protest or an attempt to remedy the evils. Why cannot the colored citizens in this city be up and be doing something along the lines above? If there The most significant feature of the remarkable success often achieved in the ring by Negro fighters is the part their brains play in their victories. They upset the theories of those who have argued that the African race was excessively subject to excitement—the kind of frenzy which is often called losing one's head. It has been held that colored soldiers could never be quite so efficient as their fighting spirit and good physique should make them, because of their mental ex- make them, because of their mental ex- peaing estimates of the Negro's lack of fitness for many positions of power and responsibility. Colored pugilis do not seem to be at all under the spell of any such mental trait. They are likely to be exceptionally cool and clear-headed. That is the way with Gans, the champion lightweight, who has again demonstrated that he is the best man of his size in the ring today. He is one of the coolest and threwdest of prize-fighters. He is as remarkable for generalship in the ring as for his quickness and his strength. Peter Jackson, the big Negro, who was born in Jamaica, but came into such prominence as a boxer in Australia, was of the same type. He was a big, powerful man, extremely supple and quick. His physique was exceedingly fine. He might have won many victories in the ring even if he had been less cool, less cunning, less a tactician. But in his hot days he was quite as remarkable for his shrewd, cool generalship as for his strength and his skill with his hands. This phase of the work of colored fighters is so interesting and significant as a revelation of the mental poise and clear thinking of colored men under circumstances which might excuse a good deal of excitement, that it goes far toward justifying the pride of American Negrees in the prowess of such a pugilist as "Joe" Gans.

The annual fall picnic of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church at Greenwillow Park, Anacostia, last Friday evening, was attended by several hundred of our young people. The public functions of St. Luke's parish are always enjoyable, agreeable and orderly, and well worthy the patronage of the public. Mrs. Hamilton, the mother of Prof. Charles Hamilton, of the Monumental Orchestra, has been lying dangerously ill at her residence. Keep your eye upon the "Pleasant Party" for five evenings in October, at the suburban residence of Mrs. Anna M. Cole, 1424 Park Place, Mt.

She is stopping for the present at the home of the Misses Patterson, 1532 Fifteenth street. Register W. T. Vernon is announced to speak at the emancipation celebration at Springfield, Ill., on the 23rd inst. Springfield is the old home of Abraham Lincoln, and his remains are buried there. Consequently, an emancipation celebration on such a ballowed spot means much to the race and to that locality that it cannot mean elsewhere. The management is fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Vernon. Immediately after filling this engagement, the eloquent Register will proceed to Kansas City, Mo., to attend his annual conference, and report to the A. M. E. Educational Board the progress of his famous school, the Western University, at Quindaro, Kansas, which is a part of the educational system of that Church.

A number of colored delegates, representing the Brotherhoods of St. Andrew of the various colored Episcopal churches of the country, will attend the international conference of that order in this city next week, beginning on the 25th inst., at the Trinity Church, Third and C streets northwest. No color line is drawn at these meetings. Word has been received here by a number of the friends of Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington announcing the engagement of their daughter, Portia Marshall, to Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, of this city. The wedding ceremony will be performed the latter part of next month at Tuskegee institute. Mrs. William E.

Cook and wife, of Natchez, Mississippi, delegate to the National Convention, associate editor and manager of the Natchez Weekly Herald, visited The Bee office. Dr. Cook delivered a very important sermon on last Sunday at the Mt. Zion Methodist Epis- [Blank] copal Church, pastored by Dr. Perkins, in Georgetown. He is said to be a very able man at his home. He was very well demonstrated in his sermon on last Sunday. Everyone who heard him said was a real treat to have him with them. He paid a visit to Jamestown Exposition and several other places of note.

Dr. and Mrs. Drew left for Jamestown Exposition Friday, and will visit Rev. and Mrs. P. A. Wallace, of Calwery Baptist Church, of Norfolk, Va. They will return in time to attend regular church meeting of his church, Thursday, September 26. MR. JACKKSON IS EIGHTY YEARS "YOUNG." Mr. James F. Jackson, one of Washington's oldest and most prominent citizens, celebrated his eighteenth birthday anniversary last Saturday evening at his handsome residence, 1412 Seventeenth street northwest. He has been a lifelong resident of the Distriet, and has accumulated quite a comfortable share of this world's goods and built up a reputation for reliability and square dealing that has won for him a host of friends. At this brilliant observance of his eighth decade upward of seventy-five of his old and young comrades were in attendance, and many beautiful and useful presents were brought by them in remembrance of the days that were. One striking feature, constructed by his daughters, Mrs. R. F. Langston and Mrs. Mahoney, was a snow-white pyramid, made up of eighty candles, and when these were lighted a most brilliant effect was produced. It was quite significant likewise that there was present Mr. James Shorter, who was groomsman at the wedding of Mr. Jackson fifty-three years ago. The late Mrs. Jackson died a few years ago, lacking but six months of rounding out an even half-century, and a grand golden wedding anniversary had been planned to mark the triumph over the years; but fate willed it otherwise. Mr. Jackson is hale and hearty, loves young company, and from his appearance and jovial manner no one would accredit him with having lived long past the three-score-and-ten reputed to be the natural span of human life. His especial favorite in the family is Miss Nettie M. Langston, the beautiful and accomplished grand-daughter of the late Congressman John M. Langston, whose fame is known throughout two continents. There is no reason to doubt that Mr. Jackson has before him many more years of usefulness, and he is the recipient of hearty congratulations at the hands of his friends. A GREAT TRIP Dr. W. S. Richardson, the well-known druggist, 310 Four-and-a-Half street southwest, has just returned from a trip made to his old home, in Vermont. The trip was made in his big automobile. Dr. Richardson carried his family with him on his long trip of fifteen hundred miles, stopping in Philadelphia, Trenton, New York,Hartford and Providence. He left the city Tuesday for Chicago, to attend the Retail Druggists' National Convention that convened in the Windy City Thursday. He will return next week. ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF PRINCE HALL'S BIRTHDAY In accordance with its usual custom, Prince Hall Lodge, No. 14, of this jurisdiction, commemorated on the 12th instant, at Irvng, the 159th anniversary of the birthday of Prince Hall, the founder of Masonry for colored men in merica. The affair, which took the form of a stag entertainment this year, attracted a creditable portion of the Lodges' members who had as their guests the following friends and well-wishers of this and other jurisdictions: Brothers R. W. Tyler, auditor for the navy; Maj. C. W. Fillmore, both of Ohio; and Gr. M. Grimshaw, Dep. Gr. M. Weatherless, Past Dep. Gr. M. Davis, and Jun. Gr. W. Nalle. After an invocation by Brother J. W. Jackson, King Solomon Lodge, Baltimore, the presiding officer, Brother W. E. Cobb, W. M., in a few well-chosen words of welcome, introduced the speakers of the evening. Brother R. H. Terrell, Past Gr. M., started the intellectual ball rolling in his own familiar happy vein. His suggestion that the Lodge inaugurate the annual practice of forwarding funds for a floral tribute to be placed on Prince Hall's grave each Decoration Day, was heartily approved, and no doubt will be adopted. Brother F. J. Cardozo, P. M., was next called on, and he counseled the cultivation of a healthier feeling of Lodge pride and a closer attention to the Masonic work. Brother J. A. Johnson, the Nestor of the Lodges Past Masters, paid a glowing tribute to Prince Hall's noble character and life as a liberty-loving man. The result of a carefully compiled research into the genesis of Masonry was then presented by Brother W. M. McCary, P.M., who closed with a brilliant poetacil effort, the gem of the evening. In response to request, Brother R. W. Tyler expressed in fitting terms his pleasure at being able to be present, and defined briefly but eloquently what he considered should be the proper attitude of Masons to each other. Other very enjoyable remarke were contributed by Brothers Fillmore, Weatherless, Davis, Nalle, Wilder and Grimshaw. Brother William H. Haynes was chairman of the committee on entertainment, and extended to the guests a hearty and generous welcome. Refreshments were served at the close of the speeches, and the evening closed with the singing of "God be with you till we meet again" by the company. DR. J. E. SHEPARD SPEAKS. There are fine speakers in this country, but one of the most gifted orators is Dr. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., who addressed the Baptist Convention. Dr. James E. Shepard, field superintendent of work among Negroes for the International Sunday School Association, was introduced and made a short address on the Negro question. "The school that sends out one practical Christian, moral man or woman," he stated, "is doing more to bring about a solution of the race problem than the ANNUAL PICNIC Will be given by the Vestry and Congregation of St. Luke's P. E. Church at Green Willow Park, Anacostia, D. C., Friday, September 13th, 1907, from 3 to 11.30 p.m. Music by Monumental Orchestra, Prof. Charles Hamilton, leader.

Negro Seeking to Know. "The Negro is seeking to know. Send him the right kind of light and he will know. What was it that changed the race from savagery to barbarism, from barbarism to civilization? The copying of habits and customs from those who did know, the desire within themselves to know, the striving after a higher and nobler life, as it was taught by precept and example. Every step onward in civilization is finding and applying truth. The command is 'work out your own salvation.' To do this, individual and race will rise only upon its own merits. To curb the mind and dwarf the soul and develop only the body is not building a perfect specimen of manhood. "Teach the Negro history, if he is to be a citizen of this republic. History teaches him the love of Christ, the beauty of patriotism, the growth of nations, the cause of their downfall, and last, the conditions from which he was lifted, no matter how nor where, into the present state. It is a struggle and bloodshed of a nation for his uplift, and makes him feel that he must put the noblest influences into human life. The condition that confronts us will grow more complex until we give more attention to the development of the spiritual and moral side. "Among the problems that have been thrust into prominence within the past few years is what is called the race problem. This is not the time to discuss it. This is the same problem at which all people have worked, and at which the Anglo-Saxon race must continue to work. So the Negro finds himself at a low point in the sale of life, and true to the voice of the human soul he wants to go up higher, not that he may go into the society of other races, but that he may be fit to associate with himself. In the supreme struggle the politician will reach no hand out to him, the social spirit will give no help, the industrial spirit will lend no assistance, but the God-spirit should speak to him a helping word and reach out to him a helping hand. This race issue will test the moral quality of this nation, and if it finds no settlement the failure will be a moral failure and show the point at which our civilization broke down the lack of moral strength." Dr. Shepard announced that he will soon establish in North Carolina a Bible school where young Negroes may be trained to do religious work.

SCIAL MELS OF COAL PURCHASED ONE PECK OF COAL. FREE ER. COMPANY. Near K Street Market. 15 ject and Will Also Establish Fine Park. From the New Orleans Picayune. The Elysium Theatre, in Elysian Fields avenue, has been acquired by a number of leading citizens' of this city, and will open its doors September 1, under the direction of the New Orleans Amusement and Investment Company. This corporation is capitalized at $30,000, and comprises many prominent colored persons. Officers and directors are—William J. Nickerson, president; Frank Lapierre, vice-president; M. C. Hacket, second vice-president; James Lewis, Jr., secretary; Edward O. Moss, treasurer; Dr. Charles W. Vance, Joseph Hilaire, Dr. Joseph A. Hardin, Dr. Edward Vincent, Edward Brooks, Aristides R. Dejoie, Jr, and F. Alphonse Mix. Preparations are already well under way for the opening of the theatrical season. The theatre has been leased for a long term of years, with an option to purchase in case the venture turns out as the promoters confidently believe it will. Prof. W. J. Nickerson, composer and musician of note himself, is president of the company. He says: "Several of the best road shows have already been booked, among which are the Black Patti Troubadours, the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstarels, etc. The greater part of the season, however, will be filled with a stock company composed of the best local performers and vaudeville and specialty performers from the North. This company will play bright, tuneful comedies of a high order. To this end the rights have been obtained to some of the plays which have been so successfully given by the Pekin Stock Company at Mr. Mott's Theatre in Chicago. One of the plays now under rehearsal is 'The Two African Princes,' by J. Ed. Green, the colored playwright, now known as the 'Black Belasco.' "The plays will be staged with a fine cast, special scenery, new costumes, and the latest music, some of which has been especially written for these productions. "Negotiations have been entered into with other big shows, such as Cole and Johnson, Ernest Hogan, Williams and Walker, etc., and it is safe to say that these and other big productions not seen in New Orleans before will be here at the Elysium this season. "No expense is being spared to make a complete success of this venture," adds Professor Nickerson. "Our intention is to give to the public a playhouse where entertainment and enjoyment of a high order will always be found and good order will be strictly maintained." "Anofter thing which the corporation proposes launching is a park for colored people, modeled after the latest improvements, where colored people can find enjoyment of a suitable and respectable nature. No site as yet has been selected." SERVING THE FOWL TWO DELICIOUS WAYS OF PREPARING CHICKEN. When Pressed It Makes as Fine a Dish as Could Be Desired Steamed with Rice and Pressed Chicken.—Cover a young fowl, cut in joints, with boiling water, and let simmer until tender, together with a few slices of carrot, half an onion, and a stalk of celery: Remove the skin and bones, and return them with the broth to the fire, and let simmer until reduced to about one cup; strain and set aside. When the flesh is nearly cold, cut into tiny cubes or chop fine; remove the fat from the broth, reheat, and stir the chicken into it, adding salt and pepper and other seasoning as desired. Decorate a mold with slices of hard-bolled eggs; in this pack the hot chicken, cover with a buttered paper bearing a weight, and let stand until cold and set. Serve, sliced thin, with salad. Steamed Fowl with Rice and Mushrooms.—Truss a fowl for boiling, rub with the cut side of a lemon and lay on slices of salt pork or bacon and steam with an onion and two or three stalks of celery until tender—three hours or longer. Have ready a mound of boiled rice, seasoned with butter and salt, and dispose the fowl upon this. Arrange mushrooms cooked in the usual manner about the rice. Serve with the strained chicken liquor, thickened with flour and enriched with two egg yolks, beaten with a half cupful of cream. Jellied Chicken.—Boll a chicken and let it get cold in the liquor. Skim the liquor from every particle of fat. Remove all the skin and bones from the chicken and cut the meat into pieces of uniform size. Soak a half-cup of gelatin in a half-cup of cold water. Mix with the chicken a dozen stoned olives cut up small and two dozen canned mushrooms, also cut small. Bring the chicken liquor to a boll, add the soaked gelatin and when this is dissolved take from the fire and set aside to cool. When it begins to "Jelly," pour a little of it into a mold wet with cold watetr, put in a layer of the chicken mixture and when this begins to stiffen add more of the jelly and more of the chicken, continuing in this way until the mold is full. Set in the ice chest for 24 hours. When ready to serve wipe off the outside of the mold with a cloth wring out in hot water and turn the chicken out upon a chilled platter. Rings set with precious stones should always be inspected from time to time to ascertain if the gems are at all loose, especially in the case of claw settings. It is also a good plan to wash them periodically in warm soapsuds, to which a few drops of sal volatile have been added, an exception being made, however, in the case of turquoises, which should not be dampened. In every case the claw settings should be cleaned by means of a wisp of blotting paper rolled into the form of a shading "stump" and worked into the interstices so as to clear them of any accumulation of dirt. The latest production of those purveyors who are always inventing something useful for the motorist is called the first-aid valise. It is a small but very useful pendium of remedies for bruises, cuts and other ills that may, alas! befall the traveler on an automobile. Rolls of lint, flasks of cooling lotions, scissors, a small bottle of brandy and other items of first-aid utility are contained in a little leather box, the color of which must be determined by the lining of the car. Three-quarters cups of butter and two cups sugar creamed yolks of ten eggs, two and one-half cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one cup milk, one teaspoon of lemon or orange. Bake in steady oven 50 minutes and frost with yellow frosting, made of the yolk of one egg, one tablespoon water and one teaspoon lemon or orange flavoring. Add confectioner's sugar till thick enough to spread. Bedroom sets in shadow-work applique are charming, and may be used over white or colored linings, and the effect of these filmy embroideries over highly polished woods must be seen to be appreciated. In laundering this class of work it must be pulled and smoothed into place before it becomes dry. A cloth should be placed between it and the iron, and the pressing continued until the article is thoroughly dry. A pretty fancy is the use of shallow boxes in the framing of small prints. Photographic views, carefully colored with Japanese paints, are set in boxes one to one and a half inches deep. Some of the prettiest of these are set in gray wood, the tint of weather exposed shingles. The colorings of the photographs is not difficult to learn. The amateur photographer will find this a suggestion for utilizing summer vacation "takes" for the recreation of a special room or for charming and inexpensive Xmas gifts. To Remove Scorch. Any article which has become scorched in ironing, if placed directly in the sun, will be restored to its natural color. No trace of the scorch will remain.

A Picture Hint SALAD WITH THE MEAT. Combination That Will Be Pronounced Excellent. Shred finely half a small head of crisp, tender cabbage and a crisp cucumber, an onion, two sweet peppers; exclude the seeds and compartments where seeds rest; a stalk of celery, all shredded and mixed. Use the accompanying mayonnaise: One oop sweet milk, one teaspoon granulated sugar, a dash of cayenne and white pepper; thicken when at bolling point with a heaped tablespoon of corn starch; when cooked, remove from the fire. Add one tablespoon olive oil, one tablespoon good butter, one tablespoonful any favorite salad dressing, and two tablespoons lemon juice or best elder vinegar. Salt to taste. Keep on ice until served. Place a slice of tomato on top of each plate and your mayonnaise over all. COFFEE FRAPPE IS GOOD. Necessitates Only a Little Work with the Freezer Prepare a pint of strong, black coffee; boll granulated sugar with enough water to dissolve it until it almost strings, add this to the coffee and place the mixture in a freezer. The amount of sugar must vary according to your taste; it should be sweetened to about the same point that you like breakfast coffee; no more. Turn the dasher of the freezer first to right then to the left, alternating the movement and scraping down the mixture from the side of the freezer as it begins to harden. When it looks like rock crystal, that is, semi-transparent and showing little sharp points, heap in glasses and serve immediately with very thin wafers that are not too sweet. For a Back Porch Shade A simple and inexpensive shade for the summer porch, or for a window, may be made by using Japanese matting, cut in the required length and bound at each end with a piece of strong cotton goods. To roll the screen up take two pieces of heavy string or cord about three times as long as the matting; tack the end of each string about two inches above the shade and about a foot from the edge; let the string come down behind the matting and up in front of it, and draw through an ordinary matting tack placed just beside the first one. This simple device will keep the porch cool and serve to darken any specially sunny window in the house. Good matting for this purpose may be bought for 10 to 12 cents a yard. Rochester Pudding. Set to boil one cup of canned, shredded pineapple, one cup of water, one half cup of sugar. Wet three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with three tablespoonfuls of cold water. Stir this into the boiling pineapple syrup and boil five minutes. Take from the fire and cool one minute. Beat the whitess of three eggs, fairly stiff, and then beat into the boiling mixture for two or three minutes. Pour into a mold and set to cool. Serve cold with boiled custard sauce made as follows: Pour two cups of boiling milk on the beaten yolks of three eggs and three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Cook in a double boiler until as thick and smooth as cream. Cool and flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla. To Wash Greasy Flannels- The best way to wash greasy flannels is to soak them for half an hour in soapy water. The water should cover the garment and should not be allowed to get cold while the flannels are soaking. Add a good quantity of ammonia to the soapy water and place a cover over the tub or receptacle where the flannels are soaking. Wash in a second fresh lather and then rinse thoroughly. Spice Cookies. To one cup of sugar add one-half cup of butter, one egg, beaten; one-half cup of sour milk; one-half teaspoon baking soda; one-half teaspoon baking powder; one-half teaspoon cinnamon; one-half cup chopped raisins; a little nutmeg; one-half cup chopped English walnuts, and two and one-half cups of flour. Roll out thin. Bake slowly. Cheese Wafers. One cup sugar, three tablespoons shortening, two-thirds cup milk, three-fourths cup grated cheese, one egg. Flour to roll (about two cups, but flour differs); one teaspoon baking powder. Roll very thin and bake in quite a quick oven. Watch carefully as they burn easily. Nice for lunches. Delicious Junket To make junket, heat half a pint of new milk to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Add a grating of nutmeg and a quarter of a junket tablet dissolved in a tablespoonful of water. Mix and turn at once into a little cup. Allow it to "set" and then place in a cold place. Serve with a little cream. Grape Juice Punch. Make a pint of strong lemonade, sweetening with boiled sugar-and-water syrup. When cold add a quart of bottled grape juice and pour over a block of ice in a bowl; add bits of alice orange, lemon and pineapple—Harper's Bazar. Bacon Rarebit. Take one pound of good American cheese, wet it with a cupful of ale, put it in the pan over the fire, melt and work smooth and creamy by constant stirring. Add a generous dash of cayenne and pour over hot toast and on the top of each piece lay a thin crisp slice of bacon. SOME CORN RECIPES SOME CORN RECIPES FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF DELICIOUS VEGETABLE. A nice way to cook tender corn is in milk. In this case husk the corn and drop into the boiling milk. Cook just five minutes from the time it begins to boll. Keep covered closely while cooking and serve as soon as done. Where there is a large family to be provided with corn, it is wiser to cook the corn in relays. Indian Corn Pudding.—Select firm, fresh ears of corn, medium size, and with a keen-bladed knife score each row of kernels, then scrape out the pulp, leaving the hulls on the cob. To the pulp taken from a dozen ears allow a pint and a half rich milk, four beaten eggs, a teaspoonful salt, a half teaspoonful pepper, and if the corn lacks sweetness two or three tablespoonfuls sugar. Bake in a well-buttered deep earthen dish for two hours, in a slow, steady oven. Corn Fritters.—Cut the kernels from four good-sized ears young corn. Add two beaten eggs, half a teaspoonful salt, a saltspoonful pepper, a cup of flour pressed down and heaped a little, and a cup of cold milk. Have ready a hot frying pan well greased and drop in the batter by spoonfuls. There should be enough for a dozens. Do not let the fritters touch. Cook in relays, frying on one side four minutes, then turn, and fry the other. These are delicious as an accompaniment for chicken or to serve for breakfast. Green Corn Omelet.—Score the rows of four large ears of corn and scrape out the pulp. Mix with five well-beaten eggs, whites and yolks together, one tablespoonful cream, half a teaspoonful salt and pepper to season. Heat a frying pan, drop in a tablespoonful butter and grease every portion of the sides and bottom. Four in the omelet and tilt the pan, sliding a thin-bladed knife under the omelet to prevent its sticking. When nearly cooked on top the stove, set in the oven to finish. Then fold over and turn on to a hot platter. Broiled Sweet Corn.—Boll the ears of corn two minutes, then drain and dry on a towel. Place on a broiler and toast over glowing coals or under the gas flame until a good brown. Season with salt and send to the table in a napkin. Baked Corn.—Take off the coarse outer husks from young corn, turn back the inner and remove the silk. Bring the inner husks back over the end, tie in place and lay in the oven. Bake about 20 minutes. What to Do with Left-Over Corn.—Cut from the cob, then chop very fine. Put over the fire in a shallow basin, adding milk to molsten slightly. Let it just come to a boil, no more, or it will be hopelessly toughened; season with salt, pepper and butter, and serve at once. Damson Cheese. Stew Damson plums until tender, then drain off the juice and remove the skins and stones. To the pulp add half the juice, weigh it, then boil until it is a dry paste. Stir in six ounces of sugar to every pound of fruit and keep stirring until the mixture will leave the sides of the kettle and adhere to the spoon in a solid mass. If it will yield to the finger without sticking when touched it is done. Turn into glasses or china molds. This is fine for meat or game, and many prefer it to currant jelly. Clean with Gasoline. Boleros and blouses of velvet, and, in fact, any small articles fashioned of this material, may be easily cleaned at home by means of gasoline. The greatest care should always be exercised, however, in handling gasoline, owing to its highly inflammable nature and the receptacle containing it should be stored outside if possible, and must be kept tightly corked, while the cleaning operations should be carried on out of doors. Dainty Bedspreads To make daity bedspreads, cut sprays of flowers from cretonne and sew raw edge on cotton cloth of any preferred color for background. An old white sheet may be used as a background. Over this throw a plain net spread, with a deep flounce, hemmed or edged with lace. Panned Baked Apples. Wash, quarter and core and put in baking dish. Sprinkle over them one-half cup sugar to each four apples, add one-half cup water,.cover the dish and bake till tender. If cooked slowly and longer will be prettier color. Dessert for Children. A wholesome dessert for children and one easily prepared is made of fairly thick slices of bread buttered and covered with molasses or maple sirup and placed in the oven for a few minutes until hot. Wash-Tub Wisdom When washing a woolen shawl do not wring it or pull it out of shape. Wring it out carefully by hand, laying it inside of a clean towel, and dry it by planing it to a cloth on a table or on a bedspread. Grease on the Oiled Floor Put baking soda on a grease spot on an oiled floor. Let soda remain for several minutes. You can then wash the soda and the grease off with warm water.

Has Become Widely Known as Result of War With Railroad Company —Cailed "Too Democratie" by His Enemies. New York —That Robert B. Glenn, president of North Carolina, had the arkbone to stalk through a fight to be final, did not surprise those who saw him down in the Tar Heel state.

With this assurance, and knowing hunting instincts, people around me are expecting "something to the first opportunity. That came when the Southern was forced to obey the rate law. Of it, whether his side is of his arguments sound or of North Carolina has T. be one of the most talked about men in the United States. Long before Glenn got to be governor he learned how to fight. As he grew older, however, his combative inductants were limited to the courtroom and the campaign. In both he has been rarely a loser. Inidentally, he served his present see the Southern railway, as an assistant division counsel less than five years ago. He also represented the Western Union Telegraph company and other corporations. It was no secret at the time of his election, that the Southern and the rest of the corporations rejoiced over his success. They thought he was on their side. Gov Glenn was born in Rockingham county, on Aug. 11, 1854. His father, a farmer, well-to-do and sprung from an old family, was killed in the civil war. His mother, who was a woman of both culture and common sense, mortgaged the farm to send her son to college. He attended a high school at Leaksville and went to Davidson college. After that he took the law course at the University of Virginia. From the time of his marriage to Mrs. Nina Deaterjack in Knoxville, Tennessee on Jan. 8, 1878, Mr. Glenn practiced law in Winston-Salem, N. C. Glenn was elected to the state legislature in 1881. That was his first trial at politics and he has been at it continuously ever since. His term as solicitor an officer who corresponds to district attorney in New York, except that several counties are covered, was in 1866 He was a Grover Cleveland elector in 1884 and 1892, and Mr. Cleveland appointed him a United States district attorney. Aside interest, meanwhile, was the state militia, and Glenn helped to upbuild the Winston-Salem riflemen, holding commissions as captain and major between 1890 and 1893. Knox his bitterest enemies call him honest. That he has enemies has been attributed to his extreme democratic manner "Too little dignity," one held in referring to him. A wavy clean-shaven, almost bald, weighing slightly less than 200 pounds and standing just under six feet. Glenn is the picture of sociability almost jolly. He talks well, and seems to like people, though he had the reputation of welder entertaining nor being entertained before he was governor. He has no hobbies in the way of diversions unless long walks may be catalogue. Ancient' Product of Sculptor's Art Wrecked by Soldiers. Washington.—One of the most valuable and remarkable statue in the United States is owned by . . . Lot Flannery, the well known sculptor, whose studio is on B street, west side of the capitol grounds. For many years this ancient production of the sculptor's art has stood immediately opposite the entrance to Mr. Flannery's studio, and has been the subject of inquiry from thousands. Headless, armless, broken and defaced, the statue gives evidence of the wonderful and masterly skill of the sculptors who produced masterpieces CRY SQUARE Statue as it is Today. of works of art before the time of Christ, for there is undisputed evidence that this statue is the work of ancients. Many years ago Commodore Boyle, of the United States navy brought the statue from Athens, Greece, where for more than 2,000 years it had escaped the despolling hand of the barbarian and other invaders of that ancient city. The commodore secured an authentic history of the work of art and valued it as one of the treasures gathered in his travels throughout the world. He kept the statue for several years and then presented it to his brother, Dr. Boyle, one of the men who made White Sulphur Springs, Va., famous as a watering resort for the wealthy people of the United States. The statue, then unbroken and beautiful, was securely placed over the main entrance to the large hotel which was owned and managed by Dr. Boyle. Having for untold generations originally graced the front of some Greek temple, it now looked down season after season on the modern social gayety of a popular American resort. Dr. Boyle received numerous offers from rich patrons to purchase it, but all of these declined to consider, as he knew its history and its value The statue remained over the hotel entrance until the breaking out of the civil war. A number of union soldiers were encamped near the Springs and the spirit of having a "little fun" occupied a good portion of their camp life, active warfare not having set in. One day a crowd of the soldiers decided to pull down the "lady in scant raiment." With a long rope they lashed the head of the valuable statue and with a strong pull it was toppled over and fell to the hard stone pavement, breaking off the head, arms, a portion of the drapery and otherwise damaging it. Not satisfied with this the soldiers rolled it to the large lawn and set it in position as a target for rifle practice. To this day the once beautiful sculpture shows where the leaden missiles from hundreds of rifles and muskets marred its smooth surface. When the war closed Dr. Boyle had the broken statue boxed and shipped to Washington, where it again became the property of his brother. Commodore Boyle had the broken statue boxed and shipped to Washington where it again, became the property of his brother. Commodore Boyle. Mr.Flannery, the sculptor, was on terms of friendship with Commodore Boyle and succeeded in getting possession of the statue and having it removed to the yard which surrounds his studio. Word Derivations. "Cow juice" is a slang term for butter in many parts of the United States. But the word "butter" itself almost certainly means something very like that by derivation. It is true that Pliny considered "butyrum" to be a Scythian word, but it seems clear that it was really Greek—from "boys," a cow, and "turos," cheese, and meant literally "ow-cheese," "Buttery," by the way, has nothing to do with butter, in spite of appearances, just as "pantry" has no connection with pans. The latter is the storing place of bread ("panls"), and the former is the late Latin "botarla," the place of the "butts" or casks. Herr Krupp's Grandson. Bertha Krupp, Germany's richest helress, married for love, and hence her success in eaternity makes a romantic world elad that all goes well with her and her boy. By the time he is a man and comes into his inheritance of a business now great phleby by reason of its success in making weapons of war, will inventors and aerial navigators have altered the output of his factories? Or will successive councils at The Hague have forced the conversion of industry at Essen into a manufactory of plowshares and reaping books, metaphor. OLD BRUTON CHURCH LONGEST IN CONTINUOUS USE IN UNITED STATES. Gifts from President Roosevelt and King Edward to Mark Celebration of Three Hundredth Anniversary of Establishment. Richmond, Va.—October of the present year will be memorable in the history of old Bruton Parish church, in Williamsburg, Va., because of the an- nouncement made a year ago that King Edward of England will present to the church a Bible and President Roosevelt a lectern in commemoration of the three hundredth anniv- sary of the establishment of permanent English civilization with the English church on this continent. October has been chosen as the most appropriate month of the tercenennial year for the presentation because the general Episcopal convention will be held in this city that month. Digitaries of the church will journey to the old capital on October 5, when the presentation ceremonies will take place. The lectern which is to be the gift of President Roosevelt has been completed and accepted. It is the work of J. Stewart Barney, of New York, and is to support the Bible which will be the gift of King Edward. Rising from a symbolic base is the angel of peace, whose upraised hands and folded wings support the desk of the lectern. The figure stands on a globe, with one foot resting on Great Britain and the other on the United States. The globe in turn is supported by the British lion on one side and the American eagle on the other. Between these figures is the coat of arms of the English Washington family.4 Each of the three tablets at the base of the lectern bears an inscription. The Archbishop of Canterbury was authorized to select the Bible, which A Lectern Presented to Bruton Parish Church by President. will be especially and appropriately bound and inscribed. This mark of royal esteem is to be presented to Bruton church in view of the fact that Bruton is the official successor of the church in Jamestown, of which until recently nothing was to be seen except the old tower. The old Jamestown church has been completely restored during the present summer, as has also Bruton Parish church. While the Jamestown church in the course of the years had disappeared altogether, except for the tower, Bruton church remains to-day as it appeared 200 years ago, the recent restoration being confined entirely to the inside of the edifice. King Edward will be personally represented at the presentation ceremonies by the English ambassador to the United States. The president will also attend. Bruton Parish church is the second oldest in the United States and the oldest in point of continuous use. It was the court church of colonial Virginia from 1699 to the revolution. Here, in silk panoplied pews, worshiped the colonial governors, two of whom lie buried in the aisle of the church. And here, in that part of the church bought and paid for by the Virginia house of burgesses, worshiped Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Henry, Marshall, Mason, Tyler, Bland, Lee and many others. The present church was built in 1715, during the rectorship of the Rev. Commissary Blair, official representative in Virginia of the Lord Bishop of London and the founder and first president of the College of William and Mary. The work of restoration, which is now completed, leaves unchanged the exterior of the church, but the interior, which was changed and distorted by architectural and social conditions which no longer exist, has been restored to its ancient form and architecture, the present completed church conforming as nearly as may be, both inside and outside, to the exact appearance the structure presented 200 years ago. The whole is intended to be transmitted to the following generations as it was planned, and used by the founders of the colony. A FENCE OF GUN BARRELS. Ancient Government Arms Ornament a Georgetown, Va., Home. Washington.—Historic old Georgetown, Va., lays claim to the only fence in the world built of gun barrels, and there is little reason to doubt that this claim will go undisputed. More than half a century ago there lived in Georgetown a lock and gunsmith named Reuben Daw, whose shop was on M street, in the business section. His large shop was packed with all kinds of pistols, guns and knives, which he had bought at different times, and many a trusty firearm bought from him may yet be found in the old homes of Georgetown. These old citizens will say: "I bought this gun from Rube Daw before the war, and she's as good and true as the day I bought it." There are old citizens who will remember the armory established at Fence Mate' of Gun Barrels. Harper's Ferry by the United States. Here was made the first breech loading rifles, but which proved rather tricky and dangerous weapons. Other makes of guns were turned out at the arsenal to take the place of the Hall rifles, and these were called In and stored. The government decided to dispose of the worthless guns at the armory, and a public auction was held. Reuben Daw, the Georgetown gunsmith, attended the sale and bought a large number of the guns, having them shipped to his home. He sold a few of them and then decided that he would utilize the stock on hand in building a fence around his two houses at the corner of Twenty-eighth and P streets, he then occupied the residence immediately on the northwest corner. Mr. Daw took the barrels from the stocks, and placed in the end of each barrel a forked fancy topping, thus making upright iron and steel pickets about as substantial and attractive as any used in building the fences around the old mansions in Georgetown. He had the posts and other portions of the fence manufactured to order, and with his own hands he did the larger part of the work in putting up his gun-barrel fence, which to-day is in almost perfect condition. On some of the old barrels may yet be seen the sights, but most of them have been broken off by souvenir hunters, as have also been taken away many of the top pieces. The two splendid brick and stone dwellings are occupied by the families of Charles and Edward Daw, sons of the man who built the historic fence. NOISE SUPPRESSION HER FAD Mrs. Rice Goes Abroad to Study European Municipal Regulations. New York—Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, president of the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise, sailed for Southampton the other day. She was accompanied by her daughters, the Misses Dorothy, Marion and Mary jorie. While abroad Mrs. Rice will study A. MRS. ISAAC L. RICE. (President of Society for Suppression of Noise.) European municipal regulations for the suppression of noise. She will return to this country in time to attend the first fall meeting of the anti-noise society, to be held the first Monday in October. Grow Trees. All the forestry in Great Britains that amounts to much is done by the owners or managers of the great estates. But it seemed to be agreed that there was a good deal of land in Scotland that would grow trees and that would grow no other marketable crop. And Mr. Burns expressed his personal opinion that there ought to be a British school of forestry. That looks like a plausible proposition, when taken in connection with the fact that Great Britain raises $155,00,000 worth of merchantable timber and imports $150,000,000 worth. TAUGHT BY UNCLESAM OLD TREASURY OFFICIALS WIN SUCCESS IN BANKS. More Than One Employee of Government's Financial Department Has Entered Some Big Institution and "Made Good." Washington.—Uncle Sam's financial system must be sound, for the men who hold prominent treasury positions are most sought after material. The department of which Mr. Cortelyou is now the head, has developed into a sort of breeding place for chieftains of the great banks of the country. From the time a man becomes secretary of the treasury or even gains one of the assistant, places, he becomes a marked man on part of the big financial institutions. Immediately they all want him, and he must be liberally supplied with cash and patriotism to refuse the kind of offers they make. Salaries they extend far outclass the comparatively modest payment that Uncle Sam allows. It is small wonder, therefore, that one by one they succumb and quit Washington for New York, Chicago and other financial centers. The recent selection of George E. Roberts, director of the mint, to be president of the strong Commercial bank of Chicago, is an instance of this tendency. Perhaps the directors figured that if he were skillful enough to make money for Uncle Sam, he ought to know how to take care of it for them. Hence the election. Despite his ability, Mr. Roberts might never have come to this preferment but for the prominence that political life gave him. This is a good practical argument for a young man to get into politics, and act honestly in the public service, not for the immediate return, but for the chances it will make for him with big financial interests where a salary of $25,000 is considered very modest. The man whom Mr. Roberts succeeds made his fame in Washington. He was James H. Eckies, comptroller A. H. FRANK A. VANDERLIP. (Vice President of National City Bank, New York.) of the treasury under President Cleveland. He resigned in 1898 to accept the presidency of the Commercial bank, and he held the post to the time of his death recently. Another comptroller of the treasury, Edward S. Lacey, looked to Chicago like the kind of stuff to which financiers are made, and he was attracted from Washington to assume control of the Bankers' National bank. This was 15 years ago, but his services have become so valuable that to-day he is still in charge, but at a much increased salary over the figure he was paid when he first came from Washington. Frank A. Vanderlip, once a machinist, later a newspaper man, who first came into prominence as the business associate of Lyman Gage, is another example of a United States treasury official taken from the public service because a private corporation needed his work. A place had to be especially created for him in the National City Bank of New York, famous as the institution from which the Standard Oil company handles its banking business. This bank has a capital of $25,000,000, and its deposits are eight times as great, which makes it the leading financial institution of the United States. The office of vice president, formerly merely an honorary title, was developed into a place second only in power to the president for Mr. Vanderlip. In his change from Uncle Sam to a private corporation as an employer Mr. Vanderlip followed the lead of his old chieftain, Lyman H. Gage, former secretary of the treasury. Gage, when appointed to the place by President McKinley, was highly rated in illinois as a financier of first rank, but the remainder of the country, while it knew his name, had never ranked him among the giants. But from the time he took hold of the nation's finance he found himself a much-sought for man, and eventually he capitulated, and took the presidency of the United States Trust company. The man who came after Mr. Gage in the high office of guardian of the country's cash, Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, had an experience much similar to that of Mr. Gage. Just Any Man.

PERSIAN TOWER OF SILENCE. Place Where Dead Are Lald Rarely Seen by White Man. London.—The accompanying picture is made from a photograph taken on the flat roof of a Parsl "Tower of Silence" in central Persla, where the Parsl dispose of their dead. It is very rarely that a white man has the opportunity of seeing the interior of a tower of silence. Indeed, once it is dedicated, not even a living Parsl may enter. The tower is built of mud upon a rocky hill, and whitened. inside and out with "gatchy" a sort of native lime, much used in all Persian buildings. The doorway is built half way up the massive wall. It is made of a single block of native granite, turning on a pivot, and is only about four feet by three and a half feet. The tower shown here was finished and dedicated in April, but the doorway has since been destroyed by the Moham- A man stands on a circular platform in a vast field, with a cloudy sky above him.

The interior is paved with granite slabs, on which the bodies of the dead are laid. The two outer circles consist of 86 slabs, and there are five circles with narrow footways in between each circle. The inner circle has smaller slabs for children, numbering 45. Fine Work on Botany.

Dr. Chancellor has returned to the city prepared for work. Bernard Brown was tried in the Police Court Tuesday, charged with cruelty to animals. The humane officer testified to the condition of the horse, and he was the only witness, and four colored citizens testified that the horse was not lame and was in good condition. This testimony did not convince the judge, who directed the owner of the horse to bring the horse to court, which was done. The judge adjourned court and inspected the horse himself, which convinced him that the four colored citizens told the truth. The man was discharged. Attorney Chase represented the defendant. In the Police Court Monday morning John and LouisEmanuel were chargers, Creel and Manton, testified to the disorder, and upon cross-examination Attorney Chase asked Officer Manton a question. He turned to the judge and asked him if he was compelled to answer that "Nigger." Attorney Chase said to the Court that if the officer was two owl conpuc ariaposip qum pa in any othe court the officer would be severely dealt with. The Court remarked to Mr. Chase that he was doing his case no good, and that the testimony of the officers was very satisfactory indeed. The officer thanked the judge for the compliment that he paid him. A few moments later the judge called the officer and said: "Don't understand me to mean that I approve of your remarks, because I want you to know that I condemn them, and you lost your head when you used them." The defendants testified that the officers broke open the door and entered the house without warrant or provocation. They were discharged.
