It was with reference treatment that Lawyer Chase the use of patronage will not tittle activity of the Negroes Administration. There may be no misunderstand- ing where the District of Columbia Negro stand, plans have been laid to have the District elect its two delegates to the National Convention in advance of the States. Always one delegate from the District is a Negro, and the other a white man. The Negro delegate will be Chase, it is said, and the who delegate an anti-Administration man. The issue will be definitely out- lined at the primary election here, and the election of Chase will, be sufficient declaration of war. Chase's influence among the ninety thousand Negroes in the District is such that his election is certain. NEGROES IN THE WEST SPEAK. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 18, 1907. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:—Following this letter is a marked copy of one of our daily papers, which speaks for itself so far as the Negroes are concerned. A great many of them here will resent anything that looks like Taft or Roosevelt. If either of the above is nominated, to the Democrats all ought to go. If I can see straight, the national Administration has hit the Negroes one of the hardest blows possible, and it should be resented. Wishing you success, I am No. 7 West Sixteenth Street. NEGROES RESENTING PRESIDENT'S STAND. Organization Formed to Defeat the Efforts of Roosevelt. From the Times. Operating from Washington, some Negroes have formed an organization which has the avowed purpose of defeating the Presidential candidacy of Secretary of War Taft and of wrestling party control from the Roosevelt element at the next Republican National Convention. Treatment of the colored soldiers by the present Administration is the issue W. Calvin Chase, a Negro attorney, and be in session for three days, but lasted editor of The Bee, is the leader of this movement. "The time has come for the Negro to assert his power in politics, and to that end an organized endeavor has begun, such as has never been undertaken in this country before." said he in a statement today. "Appointment of Negroes to Federal positions by President Roosevelt will have no effect on the result Senator Foraker has shown himself to be our friend, and the Negroes owe it to themselves to assist the Senator in every way, and to effect a rebuke of President Roosevelt and the Secretary of War." Chase stated that if the convention did not hearken to the cry of the Negro, The Bee will flock to the Democratic party and carry the organized vote of the race with it. In Pennsylvania they are to support Knox, in Ohio they will support Tom Johnson, and vigorously fight Taft and Burton; in Indiana they are for Fairbanks, in Illinois for Cannon, and in Missouri they will attempt to defeat Senator Warner's efforts to swing the delegation for Taft. NEGROES AGAINST ROOSEVELT A Leader Says They Will Obey All of NEGROES AGAINST ROOSEVELT A Leader Says They Will Obey All of Foraker's Orders. Special to the New York Times. Washington, Sept. 17. — The Negro voters here are planning an attack upon President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, which they believe will demonstrate their power and also appeal to the Negro vote throughout the country, in the selection of the delegates from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention next year. W. Calvin Chase, the editor of a Negro newspaper, is engineering the scheme to administer a rebuke to Roosevelt and Taft for their action in the Brownsville affair by sending to the next Republican Convention two delegates from the District of Columbia who will steadfastly oppose the Roosevelt programme and support the antagonists of the Roosevelt policies. Two-thirds of the Republican vote in the District of Columbia is colored, so the race has the power to carry out the programme of sending one colored man and one white man, as usual. The Administration had Booker T. Washington working busily to head off the adoption of a resolution condemning Taft and Roosevelt by a colored Baptist Conference which has just closed here Washington succeeded in forcing a compromise whereby Senator Foraker was indorsed with a reference in the resolutions to the Administration. The appointment of a colored chaplain to the rank of major is interesting, and is regarded as a blow aimed by Secretary Taft at the head of Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland. The President and Taft are worried lest the colored vote of Cleveland be cast against CongressmanBurton in the pending mayoralty contest. In discussing the plans of the Negoes Chase said tonight: "In Illinois the negroes will support the election of Cannon delegates; in Indiana they will be for Fairbanks, and in Pennsylvania for Knox. Everywhere in national politics they will implicitly obey the orders of Senator Foraker." Continued on 4th page. Do Not Be DeceivedIBR. J.E. SHEPPARD GREAT MEETING AT PLAIN-FIELD, N. J. Dr. James E. Shepard Speaks Under the Auspices of the White Y.M.C.A. on the Religious Education of the Negro —The True Solution. He said in part that the Egyptians, ten thousand years before our historical knowledge, were fashioning skiffs, mats, etc., out of the bullrushes of the marshland, were making pottery out of clay, and knives out of stone; but they passed off the stage of action and have been practically forgotten. The Greeks' and the Romans practiced both higher and industrial education, but have been lost in the onward march, because they neglected soul training. He stated that the thousands of dollars given to higher and industrial education have not been wasted, but that the race will never make permanent progress un- For the first time in the history of will never make THE MARKET MAN M. ENATOR WARNER, OF MO. ul religious education he made the rallying cry; hence the motto: Change the men and the environments would be changed by the man. No race could make substantial progress upward unless the highest ideals were constantly held before it; these ideals were not found in industrial or higher education, but in religious and moral education. In an education that taught lessons of restraint as well as lessons of service. The Biblical injunction, Ssek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you, must be the ruling passion. He showed where religious education could lessen crime, reduce violence and promote that Christian tolerance between the races that would stand in the hour of need. The greatest ovation that has ever been accorded any colored American was given to Dr. Shepard by this white Young Mens Christian Association. His address was eloquent, logical and pathetic. After the exercises he was tendered a reception. The Plainfield Courier News, of Plainfield, N. J., in speaking of Dr. Shepard, says this: Dr. Shepard spoke on the Negro question and brought the matter of solving the race problem before the people of this city in an entirely different way from what it has heretofore been discussed. The argument advanced by Dr. Shepard is that to give the Negro industrial and higher education alone is not enough to elevate his standard and that he also needs a Christian education if he is to become a better man. Dr. Shepard said some people contend that the higher education of the Negro has been a failure, and that the money spent in trying to elevate the black man has been thrown away; but this is not a fact. However, the race that devotes itself to industrial and higher education alone must fall. In substantiating this phase of his argument Dr. Shepard referred to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, and to the magnificent Roman cit- Yours truly, ferred to the and R. O. Clayton tians, and to the Lake Charles, La., Sept. 20, 1907. Editor of the Washington Bee: Will you allow me space in your most valuable paper to call the attention of the colored voters of the country to the Lake Charles Daily Press of September 18? A NEGRO APPOINTED - PRESIDENT ORDERS a "BLACK" TO BE MADE MAJOR. Washington, D. C., Sept. 18. The stress which the Administration places on the Negro vote in Ohio in the fight to land the Republican Presidential nomination to Secretary Taft and to win the black vote in Cleveland, Ohio, city election for Representative Burton in his contest for the mayoralty, against Mayor Johnson, the Democratic nominee, has just been illustrated by an unprecedented and somewhat sensational stroke of Executive policy. the United States Army the title of major has been conferred upon a Negro. The beneficiary of this unprecedented promotion, Rev. W. T Anderson, of Cleveland, for ten years a captain of the Tenth Cavalry. It became known today that the appointment was made at the request of George Meyers, of Cleveland, for years a lieutenant of Senator Mark Hanna, and whose special assignment was the looking after the "eullud" brother from the South in the National Convention, and Ralph Tyler, the Columbus Negro, recently appointed Auditor of the Navy. As stated the appointment of Anderson as a major was to accomplish a twofold purpose; that is to ingratiate the candidacy of Representative Burton for Mayor of Cleveland and to avert the threatened stampede of Negro delegates from the Republican National Convention. Now, Mr. Editor, is it possible that the colored voters of the great State of Ohio and the city of Cleveland will be deluded by the man of the horse at Washington, and forget the Brownsville (Texas) affair, and allow a few Federal appointments of their race to office make them forget and lose sight of the injustice done to them by the man on the horse at Washington? If the Administration at Washington, D. C., has so much love for the "black" brother of this country, why did he discharge the Twenty-fifth Infantry without giving them a chance to prove their innocence. Before the colored voters of Cleveland vote for Mr. Burton they should first ascertain from Mr. Burton if he is against Senator Foraker's endorsement for the United States Senate. These are questions that should be asked Representative Burton and his friends, and if satisfactory answer is not given then the colored voters should not vote for Burton. I appeal to you, my brother, to stand by Senator J.B. Foraker against the man on the horst at Washington, or any of his lieutenants in office or out of office. R. O. Clayton ies, all of which have passed away. The fundamental principles of every life, regardless of color, should be built upon something stronger and more lasting, he declared. The Negro, North and South, continued, Dr. Shepard, has been taught an emotional religion. He has been taught that to shout and make a noise, would land him at the pearly gates of heaven, but he has not been taught to have regard for the obligations he owes his fellow-man. Here Dr. Shepard told an anecdote of an old Negro slave who one day ran to his master, shouting, "Massa, I'se got religion; I'se got religion!" "Well, Uncle John," replied the master, 'I am glad you have religion. Now you will be honest, love your family more, and be a better man, won't you?" "Yes, sah' massa, I will," replied the slave. "Well, Uncle John you owe me fifty cents; you will pay that won't you?" and the religious Negro replied: "Now, massa, see hyar; religion is religion, and business is business." What the Negro wants, continued Dr. Shepard, is a change of ideas, something that will awaken the sluggish, dormant energies within him and turn his mind into a channel of usefulness to his fellow man and his God. There is entirely too much talk of social equality. The Negro does not want social equality, and those who teach him that he does are a detriment to the Negro race. What he does want is a fair and equal chance to work out his destiny. This can be best accomplished by a thorough Biblical education, which will elevate the thoughts above the sordidness of the world and will stop crime of all kinds. There will be no idleness, and violence will cease because it teaches the lesson of self-restraint, and builds up a better citizenship, stopping the great human waste that is found in the chain gangs of the penitentiaries throughout the country. Therefore the solving of the race question is moral and religious one. The industrial and higher education can come afterward. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. J. W. Turner. A chair of twenty voices from the various colored churches of the city rendered vocal solos. Dr. Shepard is an eloquent speaker and an interesting conversationalist. His idea of solving the race problem is perhaps the most practical there is. 10 KEEP VOICES OF WORLD'S NOTABLE MEN. Phonographic Records Containing Utterances Will Be Preserved at Congressional Library. Washington, D. C., May 18.—A movement is on foot to install at the Congressional Library a department of phonographic records containing the utterances of statesmen and other distinguished men from all parts of the world. The idea started with the gift of a phonograph record of an address delivered by Kaiser Wilhelm. An attempt will be made to have the leading men of the country talk into the phonograph, and records thus made will be sent to the Library. The Smithsonian Institution has some most interesting records of Indian dialects and the authorities propose to follow the example of the French and Australian governments to preserve famous voices of the stage as well as of the forum. No doubt the first record to be made for the Congressional Library will be the voice of President Roosevelt, to be followed by records uttered by members of his Cabinet, the Vice President, the Speaker and members of the Senate and House.

You can do a morning's work in one hour and a half by following these directions: Put eight cents' worth of borax, five cents' worth of salts tartar, five cents' worth of powdered ammonia, and one package of potash into five quarts of boiling water. Turn one quart of water onto the potash first and let it stand until cool, then add the rest. Let the mixture stand 24 hours, and it is ready to use. This makes enough for 20 washes. When ready to use, take one coffee cupful of the "Quick and Easy," shave half a cake of soap, and add them to your boilerful of clothes. Boll half an hour.

When the Palate Becomes Tired of the Old Preparations. 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 Salts 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.

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 doubtless the extending number of large business buildings in various cities, since the telephone is an absolute necessity in the modern building, making it possible to transport business as well from the twelfth story as from the ground floor. The installation of the telephone every suite in the modern hotel and large apartment house accounts for a portion of the increase. SHAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUG Head of Family Undergoes Torment to Help Wife Get Carpet. Trenton, N. Y.—When the new rug is laid in Grace Baptist church, about four yards of it will be consecrated to the fortitude of Henry Lonsdale. Every thread represents a whisker which Lonsdale submitted to a razor wielded by his wife. Mrs. Lonsdale is a member of the Ladies' Aid society, which planned to buy the church carpet on the self-denial 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 charge him 15 cents for the operation. It is not on record how Lonsdale first received the proposition, but the fact that he consented to act the victim is proof that his wife has the true religious spirit. For four months did Lonsdale go through the shaving process. He once believed that a shave once a day was a necessity, but under the skillful manipulation of his wife he discovered that he could get along on three shaves a week. Only once did Mrs. Lonsdale ask: "Does the razor hurt?" He did not swear; he did not groan, but the look of anguish was enough FROM ONE FORMULA SIX TASTY AND ATTRACTIVE DISHES MAY BE MADE. Ingredients Required Are Simple and Always on Hand—Dutch Rolls a Welcome Addition to I have found, after a great many ex- periences that no less than six tasty, sweet and extremely economical dairy products be made from this one sweet but valuable formula, properly cooked, out, writes "A. M. B." in the Diet doctor. The ingredients required are one quart of sifted flour, five teaspoons of baking powder, half a curve of butter, one small teaspoonful of sugar, half a small teaspoonful of salt and sufficient milk to make the touch of a soft consistency. My method of mixing is to sift the baking powder with the flour. I then add the butter, which must previously have been cut into small pieces, and follow with the sugar and salt. I mix all these ingredients together thoroughly with the hands, rubbing the butter well into the flour, after which lad the milk. I then mix as lightly and handle as little as possible. With this dough as a foundation it is easy to prepare any one of the following dishes: * Tea Biscuits.—Place the dough in mixing-board and flatten it with the knife until it is no more than an inch thickness, but do not use the pin upon it. Cut the biscuits with a tumbler, cup or biscuit cutter, in a buttered tin, in a mod eson for about half an hour 2. Dutch Rolls.—Roll the dough out it is about half an inch thick, but it with small bits of butter, and half an inch apart. Sprinkle purely with sugar, and roll as if making a roll-poly; then cut in slices, each about an inch thick, and bake in a well buttered pan in a hot oven for about an hour. 3. Raisin Loaf.—Make he mixture directed but add half a pound of raisins before adding the milk; then bake in a hot tin, in a slow oven for three quarters of an hour. 4. Shortcake—Mix as directed; then bake in a round tin for half an hour. Slit the cakes and butter them while hot afterwards place a layer of fresh fruit or preserves between them and serve with sifted sugar and whipped cream. 5. Poly-Poly Pudding.—Mix as directed roll the dough until it is about half an inch thick; then cover it with fresh fruit and roll it up. Place it in a granite dish or earthen bowl and steam for half an hour. If preferred the dough may be covered with lamb or peltz, and, after being rolled up tightly, baked, a process that will take about three-quarters of an hour. 6. Pie Crust.—This mixture will as make a good, plain pie crust, and is especially good when used in making pies. Baking at 150°. The Delienerator, 'New York.)

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 limiting her dinner to three hot dishes. She serves first liced canteloupe, grape fruit or oysters, according to the season; then meat, potatoes and one vegetable. Salad and dessert are prepared before hand, and soils the coffee. She serves all but the three hot dishes—which, of course, must be brought from the kitchen—from a small serving 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 bolls 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, ripe plums, crack them, put the kernels inside of the plums again, mix the fruit with two heaping tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and stir it lightly 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 butter, one cupful of sugar and one well-beaten egg stirred to a cream and flavored with half a teaspoonful of nectarine. This dessert is especially popular with masculine palates. Belt for Old Gloves. Every girl finds in her possession one or more pairs of discarded long gloves. Pretty and durable suede belts can be made from the same by simply ripping up the seam and cutting 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 stitch 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 to tie the kid in three or four small bows. For the front use a pearl buckle or a small steel one covered with the reather. To Clean Trimmings 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 in 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 nothing else could, but what virtue there is in crimson velvet, aside from its texture, is hard to guess, but it is possible, of course, that there may be some effect in the dye used. Cold-Water Process of Canning Wash the fruit thoroughly, and in case of rhubarb cut into small pieces, as for pies. If gooseberries are used, top and tail them. Pack into glass jars that have been sterilized and then fill the jars to overflowing with freshly 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 is 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 gooseberries which have been steamed and ended, take one pound of white sugar, dissolve it in the preserving kettle with enough water to make a thick slurp. Let boll 20 minutes, skimming well; then put in the gooseberries and boll five minutes; then set by until the next day, when boll again until they have a clear look and the slurp is thick. Pour into hot jelly glasses and cover when cool. Milk-Stewed Potatoe Into double boiler put three cups of milk, one quart of sliced raw potatoes (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 boiler from the fire, mix with potatoes, stirring quickly, then set boiler hack, for few minutes to cook the eggs. Mint Punch of Ginger Ale Make a rich lemonade by boiling 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. Put into the punch bowl with a lump of ice in the center and add one quart of ginger ale. Bruise the leaves and stems of half a dozen sprigs of mint and add to the punch a quarter of an hour before serving. Iron Rust on White Goods To remove iron rust from white goods which have been spotted by the wash kettle rub a cut lemon over the spots to wet them fully with the juice. Then rub on salt and hang them out in the sun to dry. If the spot is not removed by the first application repeat the process. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO ITS. S. For Hire----$1.00.

Collector Gets a Silver Coin Stamped 103 Years Ago. Philadelphia. — A single United States silver dollar of the colage of 1804 brought $3,600 here the other day at the sale of the collection of the late M. A. Stickney, the best price during the sale except $6,200, which a dealer paid for a famous Brasher's New York doubloon, the face value of which is only $16. There are but six specimens of the 1804 dollar known to be extant, one of which is now at the mint in this city. Stickney received the rare coin on May 9, 1843, from the local mint in exchange for other coin. It weighs a trifle less than 415 grains, and, having been kept in a chamolse bag, it is extremely fine and brilliant. Before it changed hands again today at the end of 64 years, dealers and collectors vied with one another in raising its value with their spirted 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 1815 United States half eagle, which was finally captured by S. H. Chapman for $2,000. This coin is of great rarity, there being only six ex- Washington, Pa.—After twice securing a license to marry the same girl, the second attempt proved successful, and Albert Hatfield, of Amwell township, wedded Sarah Amos. A year ago Hatfield took out a license but on the day for the wedding the girl backed out after the clergyman was ready, saying she would rather remain with her mother Hatfield returned the license and wanted his fee returned. Miss Amos decided the other morning that she was ready to be married and sent word to Hatfield. Without waiting to change his clothes, Hatfield came to Washington from the harvest field, obtained another license and, hurrying back home, secured a clergyman. The ceremony was performed in the afternoon. Columbia Ice and Coal Co. FIFTH AND L STS., N. W., NEAR K ST. MARKET. WOOD AND COAL UNDER COVER. OUR COAL IS CLEAN, AND WE SELL CHEAP.

The colored citizen believes in protests. Their protests are merely momentary and non-effective. Many of them are easily persuaded and diverted from their former position. For the last ten years or more several well-known colored citizens have been protesting against the longer retention of the principal of the Minor Normal School. Many of them claimed that their daughters were unfairly marked and otherwise badly treated. The Bee has been very much surprised to see these very same individuals with petitions in hand going from citizen to citizen begging them to sign to have the principal retained. Just what cause these sudden changes The Bee is unable to state. Some time ago two of these same individuals came to The Bee office and requested the publication of a report that they had submitted to the then superintendent, Mr. Stewart, against the principal, which The Bee declined to publish unless it was paid for. This report was submitted by two persons who had grievances against the principal on account of their daughters. The Bee was more than surprised to have received a communication from one of the same individuals commending the principal in the highest terms, which The Bee declined to publish. If the principal was guilty in the first instance, she was guilty at the time the last communication came in, and if she was innocent in the first instance she was innocent when the last communication came in.. The Bee has always endeavored to treat its patrons fairly, but when hypocrisy is demonstrated to the satisfaction of The Bee it is going to be exposed, no matter who is stung. The principal of the Normal School has been reinstated, and The Bee is of the opinion that those who have played hot and cold should come from under cover and show their manhood as well as their womanhood. The principal has made a good fight and won, so give her credit for the victory. THE NEGRO IN 1908. It will be well for the Republican party not to deceive itself in 1908, so far as the colored vote is concerned. The colored vote will support men, and not parties. If any of the three strongest parties in the country—the Socialist, Democratic or Republican—puts up strong men for President and Vice President, the colored vote will decide for itself. If the Republican party nominates men objectionable to the colored vote, and either the Democratic or the Socialist party nominates men acceptable to, the entire colored vote, that vote will go where it is to its best interest. The Socialist party thus far has offered greater inducements to all claims of Americans, irrespective of color or condition than either the Republican or Democratic party. . The colored American must open his eyes as well as his ears. The Republican party might as well understand now that the colored Americans don't intend to be hoodwinked by any more promises. We are told that the Democratic party in power means the political enslavement of the colored Americans. They can't be any more enslaved than they are today under Republican rule. The Bee believes and it is confident that there are thousands of good Democrats in this country, men who believe in the Constitution, who are favorable to the colored Americans and will do all in their power to enforce that instrument. We don't mean the poor white trash. We mean white men and women who have hearts and souls. All that the colored Americans have got to do is to make themselves good and law-abiding citigens, men who will get trades, and women who will make god wives. The colored vote in 1908 will be an uncertain quantity. There are evidences everywhere of dissatisfaction at the conduct of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, in coming out of the chair and using the power of his position and the influence of his personality to thwart the evident will of the convention with his compromise resolutions. It will be remembered that Rev. Morris is responsible for the bringing of politics in the convention by alluding to politics in his address at the opening. When he said that the colored people were prejudiced against President Roosevelt because he treated Southern white people with consideration he uttered a manifest untruth; and if he does not know what he said in that connection was untrue he is wanting in that intelligence which should be the quality of a man who is the official representative of two million of fellow-religionists. It is manifest that the Rev. Morris' usefulness as a religious leader is at an end. No intelligent man who is now outside the Church of Christ will ever be brought in by his exposition of the plan of salvation. He has sacrificed his influence as a teacher of religion to his ambition to be a political henchman. The following editorial from The Florida Standard shows how his own brethren think of him: Rev. E. C. Morris will find that he has lost thousands of his most ardent admirers because of his gag rule in the Convention just closed at Washington, D. C., which truly means the organization of another National. Baptist Convention." The Standard, in Kentucky, stated a few days ago that the colored Americans would forgive the President and support him once more. Just who made this editor so wise The Bee is unable to state. There may be a few officeseekers, or otherwise known as "pat" hunters, that will follow blindly the Roosevelt-Taft combination. But the sensible colored Americans will not be influenced by a few sickly jobs that may be dished out by the President. The friends of the President have stated that he has made a blunder. Why doesn't the President come out like a man and say so, and reinstate those brave colored soldiers. The President did not stop; he did not report; because his next step was to besmear the character and reputation of the man who attempted to defend the colored soldiers against the unwarrantable attack of the administration. He left the Executive Mansion and went all the way to Cleveland, Ohio, and forced a man to be nominated for Mayor of Cleveland to give his prestige to defeat the friend of the colored Americans who dared to stand up and oppose THE COMMITTEE QUESTIONED. Before anyone should be charged with an offense the accuser should be in possession of unmistakable evidence. If we are to listen to rumors upon the public streets, there would not be an innocent person in the city of Washington. It is quite evident that some irresponsible person informed the two members of the Board of Education that the recent committee that conducted the examination for the position of supervising principal resorted to questionable methods in the conduct of the examination to pass the successful candidates. This is a grave charge to make against reputable examiners who have successfully conducted examinations for every candidate of importance who has been before that committee. Then just why the principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School should be reflected upon and charged with being a party to unfair dealings The Bee is at a loss to conjecture. This city is full of meddlers and busy-bodies who are continually furnishing false information. Why was not the positive proof presented? The Superintendent of Schools was right when he said that he would not be investigated. His honesty and integrity had been questioned. The other two members of the committee, Miss Briggs and Mr. Mattingly, are two persons of the highest integrity. The Bee would like to have seen its friend win out. He failed completely,The Bee is informed. Must The Bee charge the committee with unfairness? By no means would it be guilty of such conduct. Then, again, there is no teacher at the head of our schools who deserves more commendation than the principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. He has done more for the young men who graduate from his department than all of his accusers. COLORED AMERICNAS. It is indeed very strange that colored Americans are different from all other nationalities. They don't believe in resentment, and neither are they revengeful. Many of them are too timid to resent a wrong that is inflicted upon them, it matters not how grave it is. The coming great political conflict will decide whether they will follow blindly the political teachings and policies of the present Administration, or whether they will seek new fields of clover. The present Negro leadership is humiliating and degrading. It has lost all of its virtues and manhood rights. It is composed of sucklings and pigmies, and its catering ambition is cowardice. The colored American is always willing to forgive and return to the fold of the masters. The Secretary of War, Mr. Taft, is giving his glittering generalities and many are willing to be influenced by their false lights. The colored The colored American who has graduated from Amherst, Yale, Harvard or Princeton, does not possess the manhood that other graduates possess who receive degrees from colleges conducted by their own nationality. They don't come in contact with their own people, except as teachers, and when they do they seem to have that fear that characterizes all cowards when they are confronted by the white man. They don't understand their own people, and the white man will not permit them to understand him. There is perhaps one colored man in this country who has had the happy faculty of graduating from a white institution that thoroughly understands his own people. The Bee has failed to see any bright stars among colored Americans who have had the privilege of graduating from any of the colleges named. There is something lacking. What that something is is beyond the conception of The Bee. Highsounding titles don't make the man or the scholar. HOME RULE? This word is a dream to the citizens of Washington. Any old stager that comes to this city is placed in control of affairs, and the citizens are relegated to the rear. This is a peculiar city. The citizens, to a great extent, will not govern themselves, and when others attempt to govern them they soon become disgruntled. The Lee has endeavored to point out to the people the wrongs that exist against them, which seems to have no effect whatever. The interloper walks in, takes charge of our public and private institutions with the greatest degree of impunity, and if there is any resent-possess. ment they lose what they already Home rule is a dream to the citizens of Washington. They once realized its fruits, and by their own acts lost it. They lost everything that was beautiful, everything that was beneficial, and if things continue they will be lost themselves. There will be a time some day when the people will represent themselves. THE COLORED VOTE Continued From 1st page AGAIN THE WILY FORAKER THIS TIME IT'S THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEGRO ANTI-ROOSEVELT PLAN. The Plan Is to Make the District of Columbia a Center for Spreading the Doctrine to Other Places. From the Kansas City Times. Washington, Sept. 17.—In the campaign which has been planned by Negro agitators against the Roosevelt administration the District of Columbia is to take the lead. It is promised that two anti-administration delegates, one of whom will be white and the other a Negro, shall go to the National Convention to vote against any candidate the Administration may indorse. One of the men already agreed upon is W. Calvin Chase, lawyer, and editor of the rantankerous Negro publication, The Bee. Behind it all, of course, is Joseph Benson Foraker. Approximately there are 20,000 Negro voters in the District, one-third of the total Republican strength. Ever since the Brownsville order the Negro paper has been clamoring for such action on the part of Afro-Americans as would show the politicians that the race could not be discriminated against with impunity. It has been really hostile to the President and his Secretary of War. The plan now devised as a keynote to the Southern States is an early primary and the adoption of resolutions demand- The same political influence behind the anti-Taft movement endeavored at the Negro Baptist Conference which has just concluded its session here to have anti-Roosevelt resolutions adopted. Booker Washington came to Washington to prevent this action and, with the aid of conservative influences in the Negro ranks, succeeded in forcing a compromise. The resolutions ignored the Administration, but extolled the virtues of Foraker. It is, of course, surmised that the influences behind the Negro movement are those which have always been hostile to the President. If persevered in it will precipitate contests in nearly all the Southern States. The plans of the Negro leaders provide that with a declaration on the part of the District of Columbia Negroes, early in the winter the Negroes of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South and North Carolina, Texas and other Southern States shall make similar demands on the party. Where the party machinery is in the hands of the "Lily Whites" the Negroes intend to hold their own conventions and select their own delegates. In discussing the plans of the Negroes W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, said: "There isn't any doubt about the success of our plans in the District. We are determined to make our fight regardless of the consequences. The appointment of Negroes to office will make no difference whatever. In Illinois the Negroes will support the election of Cannon delegates, in Indiana they will be for Fairbanks, in Pennsylvania for Knox. In the States where the "Lily Whites" of the South control the Republican organization the Negroes will send contesting delegates. They will certainly elect delegates in most of the Southern States. In Cleveland this fall they will vote for Tom Johnson, and everywhere in national politics they will implicitly obey the orders of Senator Foraker. As for me, I shall not hesitate to put the name of the Democratic candidate at the head of my paper if any a very good man, but is the creature of President Roosevelt. "What's the matter with Taft? He is a very good man, but is the creature of Roosevelt." The following is an amusing note to the Editor, with an Associated Press dispatch: Planning War on Roosevelt. Washington, Sept. 18. — The Negro voters of the National Capital are planning an attack upon President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft in order to demonstrate their power here and they also will appeal to the strength of the Negro vote throughout the country in the selection of the delegates from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention next year. Washington citizens have no vote on anything that counts directly in their government, but they do get a chance to express their opinions in the selection of delegates to the National Conventions. W. Calvin Chase, the vitriolic editor of a Negro newspaper here, The Bee, is engineering the plan to administer a rebuke to Roosevelt and Taft for their action in the Brownsville affair by sending to the next Republican convention two delegates from the District who will steadfastly oppose the Roosevelt programme and support the antagonists of the Roosevelt policies. "Sir:—Judging from this, I fear you niggers are erecting for yourselves a magnificent graveyard. You better call it off, and call it loud. If you don't, the Republican party, that gave you birth and gave you freedom, will turn you over to the Democrats 'for good.' and they won't do a thing to you. They love you for your past, and they will cut you from Government employ. "There will be no coon police, no coon letter carriers. It will be. (Wanted, Help) no coon need apply.

Sept. 23— Symphony Hall, Boston's beautiful temple dedicated to music, was the scene of the opening session of the International Congress of Religious Liberals last night. Only five thoysand of the cight thousand peop'é who clamored for admittance were able to get in. The scene within the hall was most inspiring. The floor seats were packed; | from the balconies clouds of visible wit- | nesses locked down; the spectators stood when they could not sit, and the open doorways were gorged with people un- able to get any further in. Most of the delegates to the Congress attended, and from their places on the. platform gave a rematzable cosmopolitan character to the pro eedings. With the exception of Russia, nearly every important European _nationaltiy had its representative at the meeting. Under the expansive canopy of four world faith, Boston extended her hand in welcome to the Jew and the Gentile, to the African, the Mohammedan .and the Hindu, The rendering of Luther’s classic hymn, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” by a chorus from the Handel and Haydn Society, ‘prepared the meeting for its work, and the impression made by the burst of, sacred music was deepened by “the singing of Frederick L Hosmer's opening hymn. The fi-st ripple of applause burst forth when Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Chap lain of the United States Scnate,Boston’s “grand old man,” aid Booker_T. Wash ington came to the platform, Dr. Hale leaning heavily on the ‘stalwart arm ol the colored orator from Tuskegee. On ly three speakers had been selected tc extend greetings to the delegates whe fave come from every comer of th world—these two, and Dr. Thomas C Slicer, of All Souls’ Church, New York Tn referring to the three speakers, the Boston Herald said: | “In the addresses the Rev. T, R Sli | cer, of New York, spoke to the intel ‘lect of the gathering, while Edward Ev erett Hale, whose reception was demon stratively affectionate, appealed power fulty to its heart. But for the foreigt ‘visitors the most interesting of all th pleas made for liberal religion was that uttered by an ex-slave raised by Amer- ican opportunities “from a Virginia plantation to the platform of the Inter- national Congress of Religious Workers and Thinkers.” ’ It was reserved for the ex-slave, the | Negro educator and orator, to shake the Great audience out of its Sunday de- meanor. To Dr. Hale it had risen and extended the Chautauqua salute, but when the Tuskegecan strode to his place at the front the great audience instantly, as by, one impulse, came to its feet and vigorously welcomed him by handclap- ping, the waving of handkerchiefs and canes, while the foreign delegates on the platform mounted their chairs for a good view of the man whose fame is as well known to them as it is to his ‘own countrymen. ‘Dr. Washington's address was a mes- sage of “Good Will to Men,” pregnant with rich thought and optimism. He is the only American Negro to appear be- fore the Congress, in company with such men as those named and, in addition, President Eliot of Harvard, Dr. Car- roll D. Wright, Dr. George A. Gordon of the New. Old South Church, Boston, and the foréign university professors and religious teachers, as he ,was also the only Negro present, along with his secretary, Mr. Emmett J, Scott, and /Mr. Charles Alexander, of Alexander's Magazine, at the great reception at the Somerset Hotel, Monday evening, at which time brief addresses were made by Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr, Governor of the Commonwealth, Professor Montet, the retiring president of the Internation- al Council; Sir William B. Bowring, Bart, president of the British and For- cign Unitarian Association; Dr. Mey- boom, of Groningen; Professor Reville of Paris; Professor Pfleiderer, of Ber- lin, and othey friends, THE BEE — AND WHAT HONEST -PEOPLE THINK OF IT. 2112 M Street Northwest, Washington, D.

Rings set with precious stones shonld 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 Yolatile have been added, an exception beirig made, however, in the case of turquoises, which should not be damp- ened’ In every case the claw set- tings should be cleaned by means of a wisp of blotting paper rolled into the form of a shading “stump” and worked {nto the interstices so as to clear them of any accumulation of dirt. ‘The First-Ald Valice.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF , DELICIOUS VEGETABLE, 2 s Boiled In Milk Iz One Excellent Way of Preparing tt—In the Form of an Omelst—Served . as Pudding. A nice way to cook tender corn Is in milk. In thé8 case hiisk the corn and drop into the boiling milk. Cook just tive rainutc. f-em the time it begins to bull. accep covered closely while cooking aud serve ag soun as done. Where there is a large family to be provided with corn, it 1s 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 beat- en eggs, a teaspoontul salt, a half tea- spoonful 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 {cur 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 re- lays, 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-beat- en eggs, whites and yolks together, one tablespoonful cream, half a tea- Spoonful salt and pepper to season. Heat a frying pan, drop in a table- | spoonful butter and grease every por- tion of the sides and bottom: Pour in the omelet and tilt the pan, sliding a | thin-bladed knife under the omelet to prevent {ts sticking.

If it will yield to tne finger with- out sticking when touched it is done. Turn into glasses or china molds. This Js 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 exer- elsed, 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 clean- ing operations should be carried on out of doors. Dainty Bedspreads. To make dainty 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 back. graund. Over this throw a plain net spread, with a deep flounce, hemmed or edged with lace.

Ancient Product of Scuiptor’s Art Wrecked by Scldiers. Washington.—One of the most valu- able and remarkable statue 0 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 produc- Hon of the sculptor's art has stogd immediately opposite the entrance to Mr. Flannery’s studio, and has been the subject of Inquiry {rom thousands. Headless, armless, broken and defac- ed, the statue gives evidence of the wonderful and masterly skill of the sculptors who protu-e4 masterpieces BIN SSS P88 a HOSS oe Set) 4 be . ym ———s 5's P 1 ie, ae 4 + RY aie “aR i by UR youik = ay Lie MOM | 3 or wah Na NY eA jee a NS ee ——— ‘i Be fi Ae a re as Statue as it Is Today, of works of art before the time of Christ, for there 1s undisputéd evi- dence 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 es- caped the despofling hand of the bar- barian and other Invaders of that ancient city. The commodore secured an authentic history of the work of art and valued Iteas one of the treas- ures gathered in his travels through- out the world. He kept the statue for several years and then presented Jt 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 beau- titul, was securely placed over the main entrance to the large hotel which was owned and managed by Dr. Boyle. Having for untold generations origin- ally graced the’front of some Greek temple, ft now looked down season after season on the modern social gayety of a popular American resort, Dr. Boyle recelved numerous offers from rich patrons to purchase ft, but all of these he 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 sol- diers were encamped near the Springs and the spirit of having a “little fun” occupled a cond portion of their camp Ufe, active warfare not having set In. One day a crowd of the soldiers do- cided to pull down the “lady In scant talent.” With a long rope-they las- soed the head of the vuluable statue and with a strong pull it was toppled over and fell to the hard stone pave- ment, breaking off the head, arms, a portion of the drapery and otherwise |damaging It. Not satisfied with this ‘the soldiers rolled {t to the large lawn and set It In position a8 a target for rifle practice. To this day the once beautiful sculpture shows where the leaden tafssiles from hundreds of rifles and muskets marred its smooth sur- face. - When the war closed Dr. Boyle had the broken’statue boxed and shipped to Washington, where it again became the property of his brother, Commo- dore Boyle had the broken statue boz- ed and shipped to Washington where {t again became the property of his brother, Commodore, Boyle. Mr, Flan- nery, the sculptor, was on terms of friendship with Commodore Boyle and } succeeded in getting possesston of the }statue and having {t removed to the wand which eurrounés bis stuilo. Word Derivations. “Cow julce” {s a slang term for but- ter In many parts of the United States. But the word “butter” Itself almost certainly means something very Itke that by derivation. It Is true that Pliny considered “butyrum” to be a Scythian word. but {t seems clear that It was really Greek—from “bous,” a cow, and “turos,” cheese, and meant Iterally “cow-cheese.” “Buttery,” by the way, has nathing to do with but- ter, in spite of appearances, just as “pantry? has no connection ‘with pans. The latter {s the storing place of bread (“‘panis"), and the former ts the late Latin “botaria,” the place of the “butts” or casks, Herr Krupp's Grandson, Bertha Krupp, Germany's richest heiress, mar-led for love, and hence her success n teaternity makes a ro- mantic world glad that all goes well with her and her boy.

October has been chosen as the most appropriate month of the tercen- tennlal year for the presentatlon be- cause the general Episcopal conven- tion will be held in this city that month. Dignitaries of the church will Journey to the old capital on October 5, when the presentation ceremonies will take place.

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 fs the offictal successor of the church in Jamestown, of which until recently nothing was to be seen ex- cept the old tower. The old James- town church has been completely re- stored during the present summer, as has also Bruton Parish church. While the Jamestown church in the course of the years had disappeared altogether, »xcept for the tower, Bru- ton church remains to-day as it ap- peared 200 years ago, the recent res- toration being confined entirely to the Inside of the edifice. King Edward will be-personallysrep- resented at the presentation cere- monies by the English ambassador to the United States. The president will also attend. Bruton Parish church {s the second oldest in the United States and the oldest In point of continuous use. It was the court clilirch of colonial Vir ginla from 1699 to the revolution. Here, in silk panoplted pews, worehip- ed the colonial governors, two of whom le buried In the aisle of the church. And here, in that part of the church bought and patd for by the Virginia house of burgesses, worship- ed Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Henry, Marshall, Mason, Ty- ler, Bland, Lee and many others. The present church was bullt in 1115, during the rectorship of the Rev. Commissary Blair, offictal representa: tive 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 un- changed the exterlor of the church, but the interior, which was changed and distorted by architectural and so- cfal conditions which no longer exist, has been restored to its anclent form and architecture, the present complet- ed church conforming ss nearly as may be, both inside and outalde, ‘to the exact appearance the structure presented 200 years ago.

Washington—Historic old George town, Va, lays clalm to the only fence in the world bullt of gun barrels, and, there fs little reason to doubt that this claim will go undisputed. More than half a century ago there lived in Georgetown a lock and gun- smith named Reuben Daw, whose shop was on Mf street, in the business section, His large shop was packed with all kinds of pistols, guns -and knives, which he had bought at differ ent times, anu many a trusty frearm 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 govd and true as the day T bought it." ‘There are old citizens who will re- member the armory established at 7 allie a teal Be Pare os tae TN at PLS eea cee aa ‘ ; E re ee 2 Hrtiees Harper's Ferry by the United States. Here was made the first breech load- ing rifes, 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 wortbless guns at the armory, and & public auction was held. ‘Reuben Daw, the Georgetown gunsmith, at- tended the sale and bought a large number of the guns, having them shipped to his home. He sold a few ot them and then decided that he would utilize the stock on band in building a fence around his two houses at the corner of Twenty-elghth and P streets, he then occupied the residence immediately on the north- west corner. Mr. Daw took the bar- rels from the stocks, and placed in the end of each barrel a forked fancy topping, thus making upright {fron -and steel pickets about as substantial and attractive as any used in bulld- ing the fences around the old man- sions 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 fs in almost per- fect condition. On some of the old barrels may yet be scen the sights, but most of them have been broken off by souvenir hunt- ers, as have also been taken away ‘many of the top pleces. The two splendid brick and stone dwellings-are occupied by the familles of Charles and Edward Daw, sons of the man who bullt the bistoric fence.

But it,seemed to be agreed that there was a good deal of land ia 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 Ike a plausible proposition, when taken In connection with the fact that Great Britain raises $16,- 090,000 worth of merchantable timber and imports $150,000,000 worth. | ; l RULE 0 OLD TREASURY OFFICIALS WIN | SUCCESS IN BANKS. More Than Oxe Employe of Govern ment's Financial Department Has Entered Some Big Instl- tution 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 {x 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 sec- retary of the treasury or even gains one of the assistant places, he be- comes a marked mam on part of the big Gnanclal Institutions. } Immediately they all want him, and he must be liberally supplled with cash and patriotism to refuse the kind of offers they make. Salaries they ex- tend far outclass the confparatively modest payment that Uncle Sam a! lows. It Is small wonder, therefore, that one by one they succumb and quit Washington for New York, Cht- cago and other financial centers. The recent selection of George 5. Roberts, director of the mint, to be president of the strong Commercial bank of Chicago, Is an Instance of this tendency, Perhaps the directors figur- ed 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, Bir. Roberts might never have come to this prefer- ment but for the prominence that po- Utica Ufe gave him. This 1s 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 suc- ceeds made his fame in Washington. He was James H. Eckies, comptroller mS SSS ee CK. ae ch HF [og ary) ONAL Y FRANK A. VANDERLIP. (Vice President of National City Bank, New York.) of the treasury under President Cleve- land, He resigned in 1998 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, Edwond S. Lacey, looked to Chicago like the kind of stuff to which finan- clers 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 be- come so valuable that to-day he fs still in charge, but at a much increased salary over the figure he was pald when he first came from Washington. Frank A. Vanderllp, once a machin- ist, later a newspaper man, who first came into prominence as the business associate of Lyman Gage, {s another example of a United States treasury official taken from the public service because a private corporation needed his work. A place bad to be especially created tor bim in the Natlonal City Bank of New York, famous as the Institution from which the Standard Oll company handles its banking business. This bank has a capital of $25,000,000, and ‘Its deposits are eight times as great, which makes [t the leading financial fustitution of the United States. The office of vice president, formerly mere- ly an honorary title, was developed Into a place second only tn power to the president for Mr, Vanderllp. In bis change from Uncle Sam to a private corporation as an employer Mr. ‘Vanderllp followed the lead of bis old chieftain, Lymian H. Gage, former sec- ‘retary of the treasury. _ Gage, wher appointed to the place by President McKinley, was highly rated in Mlinofs as a financier of first rank, but the remainder of the coun- try, while it knew bis name, bad never ranked him among the giants. But from the tlme he took hold of the nation’s finance he found himeelt a much-sought for man, and eventually he capitulated, and took the presi- dency of the United States Trust com- pany. Z ‘The man who came after Mr. Gage fm the high office of guardian of the country’s cash, Leslie M. Shaw, of Towa, 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 1s made from a photograph taken on the flat roof of a Parsi “Tower of Silence” In central Persta, where the Parsis dispose of thelr dead. It Is very rarely that a white man has the opportunity of seeing the Interior of a tower of silence, Indeed, once it 1 dedicated, not even a living Paral may enter. The tower fs bullt of mud upon a rocky hill, and whitened inside and out with “gatcty” a sort of native Mme, much used in all Persian build- ings. 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 1s only about four feet ‘by three and a Half feet. The tower shown here was finished’ and dedi- cated in April, but the doorway has since been destroyed by the Moham- ben eae | Pee ese ee % Where Parsia Dispose of Their Dead. medans, who did considerable damage to the tower itself as well.

R., and party left Washington September 8 for the encampment at Saratoga, N. Y. The encampment was a grand success. Among the interesting features was the singing by Comrade-W. H. Gray, colored, of Plymouth, Mass, "The Sword of Bunker Hill," by request of the whites present; also "Old Black Joe," at the ceremonies at the monument at Saratoga Battle Ground. During the ceremonies Comrade Goodman raised a small American flag. He was requested by a drunken white to lower the same; to the contrary, he raised it higher. There were over 4,000, both white and colored, present who had traveled considerable distance to be present. The vistors from the District of Columbia had an enjoyable time. There was plenty of camels' and goats' milk on the train for the accommodation of the party. Rev. James Warren, W. M., of Hiram Ahf Lodge, No. 1, F. A. A. M. Y. Ma Washington, D. C. WANTED HELP.

Every effort is made to advance the condition of the members, by securing equal opportunities to work with other workmen, to learn the trades and to have steady work at high wages and Union hours.
