VOL.27 NO.19 Ovation To The Wizzard DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON IS GIVEN GREAT OVATION BY IMMENSE AUDIENCE IN BOSTON. Botson, Mass., September 28.—An immense audience of about eight thousand people clamored for admittance to Symphony Hall last Sunday night, at the opening session of the International Congress of Religious, Liberals, at which Dr. Washington, Dr. Hale and Dr. Thos. Slicer, of All Souls' Church, New York, were the principal speakers. The scene within the hall was a most inspiring one, a representation from all of the European nations, except Russia, being present. Under the expansive canopy of four world faiths, Boston extended her hand in welcome to the Jew and Gentile, to the African, the Mohammed, and the Hindu. If delegates to this great congress came to Boston with an impression that the so-called liberals of this city are lacking in warmth and fervor, they have probably reconstructed their ideas. They must have done so if they attended the wonderfully impressive meeting in Symphony Hall last Sunday evening, which, as a British delegate said after the mighty audience had, with a great volume of melodious sound,sung the "Hymn of Praise," written for this occasion by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, was one of the most significant the world has ever seen. The spirit of the gathering, which has called men and women of all nations together is expressed in the theme of the evening—"Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good-will to men." Rev Thomas R. Slicer of New York was the first speaker. The title of his address was "Glory to God." In referring to the three speakers, the Boston Herald said of New York spoke to the interest of the gathering, while Edward Everett Hale, whose reception was demonstrably affectinate, appealed powerfully to its heart. But for the foreign visitors the most interesting of all the pleas made for liberal religion was that uttered by an ex-slave raised by American opportunities 'from a Virginia plantation to the platform of the International Congress of Religious Workers and Thinkers.' The last speaker, Dr.Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee, was unable to begin his address for several seconds after he rose from the side of Dr. Hale. When these two leaders among men came to the platform, the applause was deafening, but it was even longer continued as the honored representative of the Negro race faced the "cloud of witnesses." It was reserved for the ex-slave, the Negro educator and orator, to shake the great audience out of its Sunday demeanor. To Dr. Hale it had risen and extended the Chautauqua salute, but when the Tuskegeean strode to his place at the front, the great audience instantly, as by one impulse, came to its feet and vigorously welcomed him by handclapping, 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 message of "Good Will to Men," pregnant with rich thought and optimism. He spoke as follows: I have been a slave in body, and know its meaning; but there is no form of physical slavery that is as hurtful as mental and spiritual slavery. Having therefore experienced one form of bondage, I have long registered a high and, I trust, holy resolve in heaven that hence forward no influence should enslave me in mind or in heart. Hence as an ex-slave and as an American citizen I count it a high privilege to be permitted to share in the duty of extending a welcome to those who have come here from this and foreign lands to attend this International Council of Religious Thinkers and Workers. My first introduction to the world of religious thought and activity was in this wise: One morning before the break of day, I recall the picture of my nowainted mother bending over my body I lay upon a dirt floor, wrapped in a bundle of rags in our slave cabin, earnestly praying that Abraham Lincoln might succeed and that one day she and her boy might be free. I am here tonight to celebrate with you the answer to that prayer. I join all the more heartily in this festival of religious freedom of thought and activity because my race in America, as has been true of the oppressed of all lands, owes a peculiar debt of gratitude to those of the Uni- ```markdown ``` THE BEE WASHINGTON tarian or liberal faith. When fire comes into contact with dynamite or powderfi something happens. The two cannot dwell together in peace, and when the religion that is pure and undefiled comes into contact with slavery, oppression and ignorance, something always happens, he two cannot dwell in peace. So when the experiment was tried of having great souls of the liberal faith inhabit the same country with slavery the result was failure. Slavery, ignorance, oppression, injustice could not live in the same country and in peace by the side of Abraham Lincoln, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker, George William Curtis, William Ellery Channing, James Freeman Clarke, and our own living saint and sage, Edward Everett Hale. I repeat that when slavery touched these great souls something happened, and the institution of human slavery was forever banished from our land and the world was convinced anew that it was impossible for human bondage and oppression to dwell in peace in the same land with education and religious freedom. If I correctly understand the meaning and object of this great international gathering of spiritual thinkers and leaders, it is to impress upon the world the fact that religion is not meant to estrange men and races, but to acquaint each with the best that is in the other and to unite them in a common bond of service. This you would do with all men, no matter what tongue they speak or in what land they dwell or to what key grasped him (Editor Davis) by the race they belong. If I interpret correctly the spirit of this international and interdenominational organization, it is to impress upon mankind the old and fundamental truth that there is something in religion in the end to be accomplished that is far above church, creed, name, dogma; something that transcends in importance denominational statistics or Church wealth. You would concern yourself with the vital things of religion, you would follow the teachings of the great Book when it says in effect: "Not by power, nor by might, but by my spirit shall the world be redeemed." You would put not a mere name, not a mere formula, but the spirit of Christ into every human being, regardless of the name by which it is called. It often requires, it seems to me, a great crisis in the affairs of races and nations to teach us how to rise above all that is little and narrowing in our religious life. Within our country, within recent years we have had two great lessons: The other was presented when, as a result of the war, millions of ignorant and povertystricken Negroes were suddenly made citizens and required protection and education. On each of these supreme occasions men and women lifted themselves into the atmosphere of Christian brotherhood and united Christian service when all was forgotten save the spirit of the Master and the essentials of true religion. If this can once be done, it can be done again. In this connection may I suggest to the credit of the American Unitarians that they always stand ready to sacrifice the reward for work that shows itself merely in increased church plants, denominational numbers and financial statistics, in order that they may perform the higher work of spreading the spirit of service and religious freedom, and toleration? Hence it is that Unitarians are likely to find more evidences of the fruit of their efforts outside of their immediate church circles than within them. I do not speak to you as a pessimist, Far from that. My observation and experience firmly convince me that the spread of religion is making the world better and lifting mankind up to a higher plane of living. The world is going forward, not backward. Until someone is able to invent and enforce a law which will stop the progress of the civilization of the world, the forces of righteousness and justice need have no fear of defeat. Your work is spreading, deepening and vitalizing religious thought, and effort is not in vain. Christian civilization is moving forward, not halting or retrograding, and no one is in a better position to realize this than one who belongs, as I do, to what is known as one of the unpopular races, or disadvantaged races. It is a long step from a Virginia plamation to the platform upon which I speak tonight. I repeat, your work is not in vain. In America and in all countries the spirit of the Master is slowly Continued on 4th page. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 5, 1907. DR. WILLIAM E. CHANG "The large number of Negro schools, housing portion of Washington's children, are a himdrance J. H. "The large number of Negro schools, housing as they do no inconsiderable portion of Washington's children, are a hindrance to the white schools." ```markdown ``` EDITOR BELL Some time in the early part of August, the editor of the Odd Fellows Budget, Mr. H. C. Bell, called to see Editor Chase, with Mr. Henry E. Baker. After having been introduced, he said that he wanted to know the facts in the Howze-Knox Alabama case. After having talked fully thirty minutes, he concluded his remarks by saying that Grand Master Howze, of Alabama, was a worthy man; that he (Howze) had made the Odd Fellows in Alabama what it is today. From sixty Odd Fellows Grand Master Howze had increased the organization in his State to over five hundred lodges, and that the sub committee of management had committed a great blunder. So far as Texas was concerned, that State would sustain Alabama. Editor Bell, for whom The Bee has the highest respect, now declares that Grand Master Howze was wrong in not obeying the illegal action of the sub committee of management and the childish acts of Grand Master Houston. Mr. Houston himself admitted his error and would have receded from his childish acts had it not been that he would ope placed in an attitude of a baby Grand Master. Ex-Grand Master Morris, of Chicago and Grand Secretary Needham admitted that Houston had committed a great blunder, and that he was too small for the position of Grand Master. Editor Bell did declare against Houston, and if he did not, will he kindly state the conversation that had with the Editor of The Bee at the time he called? Will he state whether he said anything against Grand Master Howze? Did he not state that Houston had violated the laws of the order, and that Texas would not stand for it? Will Editor Bell explain what means such a sudden change of front? The sensible and patriotic Odd Fellows in this country will sustain Grand Master Howze and Professor Knox, and put their traducers out of business.

Train leaves Washington at 8:30 a.m. DISCRIMINATION RECORDER OF DEEDS OFFICE There is a great deal of complaint made against the office of Recorder of Deeds. Colored clerks are discriminated against in the work. Some time ago several colored clerks were rated very high for their excellent work. There is someone in authority, in the office, who has made several attempts to reduce the force. Among those who were booked to go were seven colored ladies and one white man. These colored clerks that weer booked to go are superior to many of the white ladies who were booked to go. It is not presumed that the Recorder knows anything about how his colored clerks are now being treated. It is quite difficult for the colored clerks to see the recorder. Many of them are prevented from seeing hi mto lodge their complains. Wednesday, 25th ultimo, under excellent auspices, Howard Unievrity reopened its doors for its forty-first session. For some time past, applications from prospective students had been pouring in thick and fast, and the opening day witnessed a very large registration of both new and former students. The faculties were never stronger than at present, and the outlook for a prosperous year is extremely promising. Sessions in the medical school and the law school were resumed on the 1st instant, with appropriate exercises. At the first daily chapel service President Thirkield delivered an informal address to the faculty and students. In the course of which he announced the retirement from the university of several professors and instructors, and the election of others to take their places. He paid a tribute to Dr. Frederick W, Fairfield, who has lately been placed upon the Carnegie Foundation, and is now living in Southern California. For many years Dr. Fairfield had been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and professor of Greek and Economics. His long connection with Howard University and his eminent and distinguished services have made him to be beloved by all—faculty and students. The memory of his work at Howard lives in many grateful hearts. Prof. W. V. Tunnell read the resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees concerning the termination of Dr. Fairfield's connection with the university. These public recognitions of his worth were greeted with hearty applause. The vesper service on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 was impressive. A large and representative audience heard with earnest attention the eloquent discourse delivered by the president. Especially fine music was rendered by the full vested choir, which is doing so much to make the services even more attractive. The authorities of the University note with pleasure the full representation of Washington citesize at these Sunday vespers and desire to extend a further invitation to all that more and more the friends of the institution may come to enjoy the edifying addresses and pleasing music of these short services on Sunday afternoons. Negoc Not Opposed to Him or to President Roosevelt. Harry S. Cummings (colored), Councilman from the Seventeenth Ward, and a leader among the Negro population of the city, stated emphatically today that there is no anti-Roosevelt-Taft movement in this city. It has been reported that Negroes in this city, as well as in other parts of the country, are holding secret meeting, with the avowed purpose of defeating Secretary Taft for the presidency, and also to prevent the re-election of Roosevelt. Councilman Cummings said: "There are no such meetings going on in Baltimore. In fact, there is no such feeling here. There are some—a few scattered throughout the city—who are sore on Secretary Taft because of the Brownsville trouble, as they do not believe he treated the Negroes fairly in that matter, but there is no general ill-feeling on the subject. As for Mr. Roosevelt, the Negro voters of this city and the State would like to see him elected for a third term."—Daily News, September 25th.

To Get the Best Results with Biscuits —Cornbread and Sour Milk ,Corn Cake—Soft Gingerbread Is Nice. No Stropping, No Honing While the acidity of milk varies, requiring judgment on the part of the cook, a safe general rule to follow is a level teaspoonful soda to one pint sour milk, that has stood two or three days, and a scant teaspoonful soda to a pint of sour milk that has just turned to a jelly-like consistency. The mistake that many cooks make is to add too much soda. Just enough is required to counteract the acidity of the milk. Sour milk that has stood long enough to acquire a bitter or moldy taste is unfit for use and must be thrown away.

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 tall building, making it possible to transact business as well from the twentieth story as from the ground floor. The installation of the telephone in every suite in the modern hotel and large apartment house accounts for a portion of the increase. 8HAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUG. Head of Family Undergoes Torment to Help Wife Get Carret. 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' Ald 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 angulsh was enough. e > ae Pas TN @ ©; —- ae ~ Coe SEE Tse MieQele Meera ion frees Ose Tarh cnbecrtrcinn ( pembery) oupse fe entie bo ae ce eee Lads Aen TeeM PS: t titaeet ate ptt h ooalnen ( Sal teow, "Gidea rad Bence bbe Soe Tee TH BEE AND McCALL'S GREAT FASHION MAGAZINE for one year fer face.

Here are some good suggestions for your kitchen: Have your shades and curtains of white muslin that can be Taundered. When using your gas stove in the summer, cover the top of your coal range with newspapers, which will make a handy table, Have your rack near the stove, so that your towela will get well dried after each dish washing. A small shelf should be put up near the stove to hold your salt and pepper Lox. Cover the wall back of your sink with ollcloth, pref- erably white, and here may be hung your sing broom, shovel, dish mop and soap box. In a box or drawer may be kept the necessary articles tof fronting, says Woman's Lite. The top may be covered with ollctoth, and will give an extra table. A chest ot drawers is useful and almost neces- sary for keeping the kitchen towels and aprens. besides many other use- ful articles. It is well to keep in the Kitchen a bottle of linseed off and Ime Water, together with a roll of old nen pieces fur bandages, for use {n case of burns. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Dr, Corrothers Delivers Welcome Ad- dress—May Speak in Tennessee and Ohio. The increasing popularity of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D.D., with all religious denominations, and the leading classes of the people makes Galbraith A. M. E Zion Church, on Sixth street northwest, or of the most largely attended col- ored churches in’ the city. Here may be found Sunday at each service people from all parts of the District. Awell-attended series of noctural meetings is now going on there, under the management of the various classes. Different local divines are speaking there each night A big rally fo raise two thousand dollars will begin there next Sunday, when Dr. Corrothers will com- mence a series of special sermons at eleven o'clock am. He will deliver the second sermon of the series at-8 p.m. Dr. Corrothers ‘delivered the annual welcome address to the students of Howard University at the formal open- ing of that institution at the commenc- ing of the school year on October 1, and his remarks elicited much applause. He will address the West Washington District Conference of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Annual Conference at Lomax Chapel, Arlington, Va, on the goth instant, and has been invited to address the Tennessee Annual Confer- ence of the Zion connection, which meets at Knoxville, Tennessee, on the ah instant, and it is stated that he ‘May accept an invitation to speak in ‘Cleveland, Ohio, during the municipal contest there. .

Calvin Chase: In ae Pittsburg Preys I saw your ad. regarding the anti-Taft-Roosevelt move- ment on the part of the Negroes. If it is any time in our lives that we are pleasing to our Creator it is when. we come together to da good for each other, and I don't know of any movement that could be more beneficial to our peo- ple than this. I have been looking for a long time for someone to take this movement up, and I am glad we have found a man that will allow his name to goxbefore the world in behalf of his race. I have been working in politics for years in behalf of my people. The white man has been the beneficiary, and ‘it is high time that we should receive something instead of chips of whet- stone, 7 T have been working in this city (Al- legheny) for sceveral years for the Re- publican party, and all I have gotten is unfaithful promises. The white Repub- ilcans think fhey own all the Negroes in the United States. Reading your statement in the papers will cause them to think differently. I hope every Negro in this country will stand man to man in this movement. I know it will be a great benefit to us all. It will take a great deal of work to get this established among our peo- ple. I shall get up an organization here and support a man like yourself at the head of this grand undertaking. I think it would be a great credit to any man to help in this undertaking. I will not say any more just now. Write and let me hear from you. Daniel Ellison, 514 Allegheny Avenue, Allegheny, Pa. NOTED EPISCOPAL WORKERS - HERE. | Mr. W. H.

DAVIS EDITOR. *rom the National View, Collector Rucker, of Atlanta, has al- ways claimed that he was forever drawr to fighting Ben by the force of his full- blown modesty. Modesty has learned her best lessons from Tipton’s “happy and eloquent son.” Lightly we may not consider Ben Davis, for he is the cther self of heaviness. He is no child of the Modern School; he is Plato black, desked in a new academy; he is Soc- rates without the bitter and fatal cup— of hemlock, of coune. The editorial page of the Atlanta Independent is a weekly installment of the agreed schools of the various periods of philosophy un- chained and loudest, Editor Davis is a tonic; nor sleep Isigweth her children when they fall upon ithis rare and im- mortal print. . But to my lord Ben’s modesty, Editor Davis has bene traveling here pof late; trying to save the Grand Unit- ed Order of Orders from the foul and ravenous Bill Houston. In this we glory and give praise to Editor Ben, for said Houston is a bold Government clerk bent on greed and gain and power; and Bill is tricky and subtle, and very full of schemes. In the course of the Ed- itor’s travels he struck Lancaster, Pa, where the Houston forces, according to all reports, were routed, utterly down- ed. . On the first day there was -speaking, of course. The Mayor made a most happy address of welcome, and a black “Cataline” ‘replied. Reporter B. J. Da- vis writes all about the whole thing in the Atlanta Independent, and signs his name. After Cataline had captured the house, Reporter Davis tells us that Ed- itor Davis was introduced as “the gam- est Negro editor on the continent.” “Game” is vulgar in this connection. What did Editor Davis do; his speech, how was't? He “spoke in a happy and eloquent vein.” Reporter Davis tells the thing as it is! Nor would he color it if the editor had requested of him so mean a conduct. Not satisfied with speaking so happily and so eloquently, the faith- ful reporter says that as Editor Ben warmed up ahd reared, he “stressed ¢lo- quently.” We tmage Regbrter Davis hanging upon every burning word of Editor Davis, and marking his stress- ings, nor losing sight of his eloquence of tongue. Faithfulness in reportorial work is rare; Reporter Davis, we are sure, must appeal td the graciousness of _ It Is Kasy To Have A _ Comfortably Furnished — Home If You Wish It.

Negroes Stop Improvements, Dr. Chancellor declared that many in- novations that he felt would be bene- ficial were prevented by the inferior in- telligence of the Negroes. While offer- ing no suggestions as to how the evil can be remedied, Dr. Chancellor stated that it was a situation that would de- mand serious attention in the near fu- ture. “The large number of Negro schools,” said he, “housing as they do no Incon- siderable part of Washington's children, are 2 hindrance to the white schools.

W.. To the Editor of The News: In your columns of yesterday appear- ed what purported to be an interview with Mr. Harry S. Cummings, Council- man from the Seventeenth Ward, anent the movement of the Negroes of the country against the nomination and elec- tion of Secretary Taft, President Roose- ‘velt’s candidate for the presidericy. Mr. Cummings, with characteristic baste, as- sures- the country and the Republican party that there is no such movement here, and that the Negroes of this city are, with scattering exceptions, for Mr. Taft. I think it might be said in this connection that the wish is evidently father to the thought. . Mr. Cummings is the accredited polit- ical leader of the Negroes of his ward and for them he is probably authorized to speak; but for the great mass who live beyond its limits he has no more authority than any other individual How does he Know that thers is no such movement? Such a thing might happez even in Baltimore without his knowl- edge and consent In view of his welb known subserviency to party dictators, local, State and National, it is hardly likely that anyone contemplating such 2 movement as this would think for a moment of enlisting Mr. Cummingy sympathy and support. There may be or there may not te any such movement, but if anybody im agines that the Negroes of this city have forgotten the Brownsville incident and the men responsible for it, they are greatly mistaken. One so powerfal evea as a Councilnan could hardly prevent an expression of their resentment for it, if the opportunity ever presents it- self. W. ‘Ashble Hawkins. Baltimore, September 2<. Joe Gans has won two big fights ia the last month, and about seventy-five thousand dollars. He will retire froos the ring. a Brother Crusenberry, of King Solo mon Lodge of Masons, buried his iwfe at Fredericksburg, V2, last week, SEPTEMBER THE BEST MONTH FOR THE WORK. Some Old-Fashioned Recipes That Are Decidedly Worth Trying—Delicious Preserves of Grapes and Peaches. September preserving is by all odds the most pleasant of the fruit season. The days are much cooler. fruits are abundant and cheap and the preserving and pickling is of the pungent, spicy nature that is a distinct relief after the earlier preserves of a cloying nature. Such fruits and vegetables as are now in the market should be bought early in the morning and cooked immediately. Here are some old-fashioned recipes which it will pay to try. If the ingredients are bought at the proper figure the results will be much cheaper than factory-made articles. The grape season is now at its height nearly all over the country. Here are the three suggestions for tasty grape condiments: Grape Butter—Separate the pulp and the skin of the grapes. After holling the pulp, strain it through a coarse sieve. Mix this with the skins and then measure. Boll half an hour, then add to it a plint of sugar to each quart of grapes and cook them until thick and jellied. Grape Catsup—Take nine pounds of strained grapes, five pounds of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of clinnamon, allspice, cloves and one-fourth spoon of red pepper. Boll this together until thick and when cool thin with vinegar. Spliced Grapes—Pour over five pounds of sugar as little vinegar as will dissolve it, six cloves, a stick of cinnamon and boll to a thick syrup. Pour this hot over seven pounds of grapes, picked from the stems, and let it stand over night; drain off the syrup, let this boll, and pour over the fruit again. Repeat this process three times. The large late peaches are particularly well suited to both pickling and bradying. Brandled Peaches — Take four pounds of peaches, the same weight of sugar, and one pint of brandy. Peel the fruit, place the sugar over it and let it stand over night. Drain carefully, boll and skim. When the syrup thickens add the peaches, and cook slowly until the peaches are clear. Lift the fruit carefully into jars. Boll the syrup until quite thick, add the brandy and fill the jars, sealing very tight. Peach Fritters. Beat together the yolks of two eggs and a half cupful of cold water. Add one cupful of sifted flour mixed with a pinch of salt and olive oil and beat well again. Then stir in lightly the whites whipped to a stiff froth and set aside in a cool place for several hours. Have ready a kettle partly filled with smoking hot fat. Dip pared and halved pieces of peaches into the batter. Hold on the fork for a moment that any extra amount may drain off, then drop into the hot fat and cook golden brown. Skim out and drain for a moment on unglazed paper, then roll in powdered sugar and send at once to the table. Rug and Curtain Holder When beating carpets or rugs on the line the housewife is presented with a problem. To prevent the rug slipping out of position, after being adjusted, a Massachusetts man has devised a holder. It is made of strong spring wire, the upper portion being curved to fit over the rug. In connection with the four lower corners—which, on account of the tension of the spring wire, are inclined to come together—are prongs which force themselves into the rug. The operator has ample opportunity to stand at a distance from the rug and swing the beater with as great force as desired. Salad Dressing. Use two eggs. one-half lemon, one cup whipped cream, two teaspoons olive oil, sugar, salt. To the yolks of the eggs, beaten stiff, add the oil and juice of lemon slowly, beating hard all the while until all has been added and it is quite thick. Then add the beaten whites of eggs, salt and sugar to taste, and then add one cup of whipped cream. Whip all together until stiff and set on ice until ready to serve. Delicious Cream Pie. Line a pie tin with rich pie crust, prick with a fork and bake. For filling take one and a half cupfuls of cream and put in pan to heat; beat together two eggs, one cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls flour and half a cupful of cream. Add to cream and cook until thick; then whip it with a silver spoon until cool. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla and put in crust an hour before serving. Cornmeal Cake Filling Bake any layer cake and let cool. Use one and one-half cups of brown sugar, with sweet milk to moisten, butter the size of hickory nut, and boil until it will harden in cold water like candy. Stir in quickly one teaspoonful of extract, spread between layers. Make Peanut Butter Pound or grind to a powder one cupful, of shelled and skinned peanuts, freshly roasted. Rub into this a half cup of butter; salt to taste and work to a smooth paste for use. This makes delicious sandwiches for picnits or luncheons. FOR COZY LIVING ROOM. Design That Is Easy to Copy and Not Too Expensive. Red is attractive for a living room for the cold season, though women are tired of the color which has been popular so long and want something decidedly new and pretty. The various shades of brown ranging to bright yellow are extremely beautiful. I saw a room recently which was very handsome, and everything was of the richest and finest, though it was a splendid copy for cheaper imitations, says a writer in the Chicago Dally News. The room was finished in quartered oak, the walls covered with plain maize-colored paper, which was divided from the cream moire ceiling with a narrow oak molding. The carpet was a chocolate brown, with a wide border of yellow cross bars. The furniture was severely plain without a scroll or outline upon the highly polished surface. Each piece was upholstered in dark-brown tapestry. The few pictures were brown tints, framed in natural wood frames. A few pieces of small statuary, two brass jardinieres filled with pandora palms were the only decorations save a number of cream-colored pillows piled on one end of a brown leather couch. The most noticeable part of the beautiful room, almost exquisite in its rich simplicity, was an old-fashioned fireplace. On the mantel were two gold candle-sticks and Diana, a piece of Parlian marble statuary, which was graceful in the center of the shelf. The room was not large, but contained just enough furnishings to make it roomy and comfortable. MINT FOR THE WINTER. Best Put Up While Vegetable Is In Good Condition. Mint extracts may be put away for winter while the mint is in good condition. Mint sauce with spring lamb or with mutton may then be made at any season with gelatine. The mint leaves may be dried and the extract bolled out when desired, or the extract made now and bottled for winter. To make mint cherries or gooseberries for use in winter try a method that is recommended. The canned white cherries may be used, and if the leaves do not color green, buy vegetable color. Steep a quart of washed, fresh mint leaves with enough boiling water to cover them for half an hour. Strain through cheesecloth, squeezing the leaves to extract all the juice. Use a pound of sugar to each pint of extract and boll to a thick pint. Turn the boiling sirup over large, pitted white cherries. Let it stand over night, then strain, beat the sirup and turn over the fruit again. The third day strain, boll the sirup, turn it over the fruit and seal. Egg Salad. While this is a little too hearty for a dinner salad, it is just the thing for the Sunday night supper. Boll the eggs hard, remove the shells, cut in halves crosswise or lengthwise, and take out the yolks. Mash the yolks, using a silver fork; then season with minced chow-chow with a little of the mustard sauce from the bottle, a little melted butter, salt and pepper, and if desired minced olives. Return to the whites of eggs, arrange on a bed of lettuce or cress, dress with French dressing or mayonnaise. If no olives have been used in filling of eggs a few olives or pimolas scattered over the salad add to its decoration Feet Warm and Dry. We should wear rubbers whenever we need them and take them off as soon as we can. The feet must be kept warm and dry. A famous physician is reported as saying that his income would dwindle to a half if women kept their feet warm. And it may be added that a woman's chance of being a comfortable soul and a jolly person to have around would be im proved by three halves if she would wear the right kind of shoes, care for them and her feet properly, and try to have everybody else do the same. Delightful Kitchen A delightful kitchen furnished for a bride recently has pale yellow walls and white woodwork. The floor is covered with a brown and white oilcloth, and the pots and pans are of blue and white enamel. The washtubs are covered with white oilcloth and the table is enameled white and has a glass top. At the window is a curtain of white muslin, with a coin, spot of pale yellow. Chiû Chicken. Boll a chicken until tender, cool it and chop it fine. Wash and dry a cupful of rice, put it into a pot containing hot lard or butter and fry it a few minutes. Then add some chopped tomatoes, onlons, salt and chill powder to taste. Pour all over the chicken, adding some of the broth from the fowl. Put over the fire until very hot and serve. Add, if you like, mushrooms and peas to the other vegetables. How to Keep Cake Fresh. To keep cake fresh, cut a slice of new bread about an inch thick, and place in the tin with the cake; this will help to keep the cake fresh for some time. The bread must be renewed when stale. An apple placed in the cake-tin will answer the same purpose as the bread, and should also be renewed from time to time. Seafoam Dessert. To one pint cream add one glass of sherry wine, one cup confectioners' sugar, and the juice of one lemon. Whip cream; add sugar, wine, and lemon; whip all 30 minutes and serve, see cold, with lady fingers. VALUABLE HINTS ON MATTERS IN GENERAL. One of the Best of the Perfumes for the Linen Closet—Mixture That Will Restore Faded Wall Paper. Perfume for Linen.—Take half a pound of lavender flowers without the stalks, one-half ounce each of dried thyme, one-half ounce each of dried mint and mint, a quarter of an ounce of ground cloves and carraway, one ounce of common dry salt. Mix all well together and put into silken bags. Apple Water.—A change can be rung on the ordinary beverages when the first apples appear. Take two rather tart apples or two roasted apples. Peel them, take out the core and slice up thinly. Add a piece of yellow rind of a lemon and a little sugar. Place in the bottom of a jug and pour a pigt of boiling water over it. When cold strain the liquid and serve with ice. Cloves or cinnamon may be added to the apples. To Banlah Fleas.—Sprinkle camomile flowers in the beds and linen closets and among the clothes and the fleas will leave. Restoring Faded Paper.—Where cartridge paper has faded during the summer the original color can be restored by-getting regular water color paint and mixing it with Paris white and the required amount of sizing to hold. Rub the dust off the paper with a cloth and apply the water color to the paper with a kalsomining brush. To Exterminate Cockroaches.—Perfect cleanliness is the first essential. Leave nothing to eat out of the refrigerator. Have all shelves., etc., thoroughly scrubbed and scaleded and sprinkled with best borax. To Preserve Flowers.—The shape and color of flowers may be preserved long after they have become dry by dipping them carefully as soon as gathered in limpid gum-water. The gum forms a complete coating over the stem and petals, and the flowers often remain perfect for months. Restoring Faded Cottons.—When cotton goods have faded in washing dye of the desired shade can be used after the goods have been thoroughly washed. By getting an assortment of dyes—blue, red and yellow—almost any shade desired can be mixed. Use the dye in the last rinsing water. A Cream Cheese Dish—If you like cream cheese or pot cheese, vary the dish sometime by serving finely chopped chives with it. Mix the cheese with a small pot of butter and then put in the chives and salt and pepper, and leave for a little while until the taste of chives has time to permeate the cheese. Stuffing Squaps. Make a bread stuffing for squabs moistened with sherry, Mrs. Eleanor Lucas, a writer for many magazines of cookery, whose recipes always make one hungry, says that an orange sauce should be made for either fried or roasted squabs. Make a plain gravy of flour and water, she says, in the pan in which the squabs are roasted. To this add a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, two tablespoonfuls of orange juice, the grated rind of an orange and salt and pepper. This must be strained and served hot. If the squabs are broiled make a gravity with a little stock or meat essence and finish in the same way. Apples in Red Jelly. Take six good sized apples and core them. Put two cloves into each apple and as much granulated sugar as it will hold. Place them in a baking pan, without touching, and add a cupful of water, or more, as you think fit. Look at them often and try to keep them them whole. When done, take out carefully and place in dish. Strain the stirup they were coked in and put in another saucepan, with a little gelatine (dissolved) and a few drops of red coloring. Boll till quite clear and then put around apples. Set away to cool till supper time. Cucumber Pickles Pour boiling water over one peck of cucumbers, let stand until cold, then wipe dry and pack. Pour over them this prepared vinegar: Boil together one gallon of cider vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of black pepper, eight tablespoonfuls of salt, then mix in a little cold vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of curry powder, four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, eight tablespoonfuls of mustard. Stir into boiling vinegar; let all boil up, then pour over cucumbers and seal. These are fine. Fruit Cookies. Take two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of butter, beaten to a cream, three eggs well beaten, one-half a grated nutmeg, one cupful of cut dates, one cupful of chopped walnuts and one level teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in two teaspoonfuls of hot water. Drop from spoon into pans and bake. Velvet Rice Pudding One quart of milk, two tablespoon fuls rice, three tablespoonfuls sugar, a little salt and nutmeg, handful of raisins and butter the size of an egg. Put all in bean pot and bake in very slow oven five hours, stirring often until half an hour before serving. Serve hot with or without cream. Note for Corn Season. An easy and convenient way to remove the silk from sweet corn is to use a small vegetable scrub brush. It is surprising how easily and completely the silk is taken off.—Good Housekeeping.

At the end of President Cleveland's term he resigned and he then was made district attorney for the Louisville & Nashville railroad. In 1899 he was appointed general solicitor of the Illinois Central railroad and in 1901 he was made general counsel, both offices then being consolidated. SEALED WATER FOR SULTAN. Ruler of Turkey In Constant Dread of Dying by Poison. Constantinople.—The sultan of Turkey is in such fear of being assassinated that he will not drink water from the public pipes. He has recently taken greater palms to safeguard himself from poison. Every day trusted men can be seen carrying barrels upon their backs to the sultan's quarters. These barrels contain spring water, which has been tested by a trusted official and sealed by him. The seals are broken in the palace in the pres- C ence of more trusted men. The suktan of Turkey dines alone, except when he entertains foreign ambassadors and other high officials. Tips Barred. A corporation operating a chain of quick-junch rooms throughout Manhattan makes a feature of this window sign, "Tips Prohibited." Young men exclusively are employed as walters. At a branch near Union square hundreds of women are among the noonday patrons. The manager says that since the order abolishing tips has been in force the daily number of persons served has increased greatly. "Patrons are respectfully requested not to disregard this rule," he remarked, "as it is our desire that all be treated uniformly, and this becomes impossible when tips are countenanced." That's Right. "I suppose you always fine autists when they exceed the speed limit in this town, do you not?" asked the stranger. "Not always," replied the native, as he took a chew of natural leaf. "You see social standing has got to be respected." TO BE HUMAN ANTHILL SIX BIG TUNNELS UNDER GOTHAM NEARLY COMPLETED. Its Own. New York.—Within a few months New York will be more than ever the human ait-hill, where men will go to and fro, up and down, back and forth, from home to business, business, to club, club to theater, never seeing the sun or even the stars except when they emerge temporarily from a wonderful series of subterranean passages. Six big tunnels under the rivers will make the ant-hill almost complete. One of these is open already, though not for passenger traffic. Three more will be ready inside of a few months. Within a year two more will be added, and then the human ants may hurry from place to place in Manhattan, and burrow across to Jersey on one side or over to Brooklyn on the other. Narrow little Manhattan Island can not stretch sideways or lengthwise. She has already stretched up almost as far as she dares, and now, because she has used up all the other dimensions, she is beginning to make streets and avenues under the ground. In the early morning the New York ants hurry from their homes and dive like chipmunks into the holes in the ground whose attractive entrance kiosks proclaim them subway stations. The subway goes almost everywhere already, and hundreds of thousands of workers now escape the unpleasant weather—and the sunshine. The human ants can go a little more quickly, and, they think, a little more comfortably, underground, so all through the 24 hours the hurrying trains drag their burdens back and forth down underneath the streets and the skyscrapers. Every day a half million passengers ride in the subway. It is a complete underground railway organization, with an army of 5,000 men to operate it. There are ticket agents, porters, motormen, guards, trackmen, switchmen, practically everything that an open-air railroad has, including underground repair shops and storage tracks. The longest direct ride on the subway is from South Ferry to 230th Example of Stores In the Manhattan Tunnels. street, more than 14 miles. Express trains make this in 45 minutes. But for 5 cents one can ride on the subway as long as he likes by using the cross-overs. This underground railway has its business world. The multitudes, who ride have cash, and cash may be spent underground as well as on Broadway. Big hotels have entrances of their own. Department stores connect with subterranean stations. Office buildings do likewise. There are newsstands, flower shops, a drug store and a rathskeller, and near Twenty-third street there is a whole block of underground stores. But even all this was not enough for the New York ant. He wanted to burrow under the rivers on either side, and he has. The Hudson & Manhattan Railroad company has driven two steel-bore tunnels under the Hudson, and trains will be running through at least one of them this fall. The down-town terminal will be under the largest office building in the world, now rising at Fulton, Church, Dey and Cortland streets. The train platform will be two stories underground. There is also to be a branch underground tunnel from Jersey City to Hoboken, one and one-fourth miles, making railroad connections. From Hoboken a two-bore tunnel will dip under the river back to New York, connecting with a new subway following the line of Sixth avenue to the new Pennsylvania terminals. For several years 4,000 men have been working on the Hudson river tunnels. Probably 20,000 men are working on the Pennsylvania tunnel from New Jersey to Long Island under both the Hudson and East rivers and under the entire width of Manhattan. This tunnel, together with the Pennsylvania's new station, will cost $100,000,000. Two tunnels connecting New York and Brooklyn are nearly ready for operation, thus extending the Manhattan subway system into the borough of Brooklyn. This, is to be opened in about two months. So that, when all this is finished—and it is scarcely more than a matter of months—the New York ants will see less of the sun and stars than ever, but hurry, hurry, hurry, all day and all night, along their subterranean passages for the sake of saving five minutes every day. NEWEST AMERICAN SOLDIERS. Though a Bit Shy as to Uniforms, Our Samoan Guards are Good Fighters. New York.—The Fita-Fita company of natives which takes the place of the marine corps in guarding the naval station of Tutuila and preserves order in the American Samoan possessions continues to evoke much interest in military circles in this country. This organization has advanced rapidly in military efficiency, and is now declared to be second in value for its numbers to none of the armed native auxiliaries of the government, not excepting even the very efficient Porto Rican regiment or the Philippine constabulary. They have been drilled to a high state of military capacity by a M. A FITA-FITA CORPORAL. (United States Native Guard in Samoan islands.) coxswain stationed at Pango-Pango and naval officers on that station are emphatic in their praise of their work and the excellent influence they exert. They do not have to have much in the way of uniform, wearing usually a turban, a sleeveless shirt and an abbreviated skirt. They are without shoes or stockings and are in this way unincumbered in the way of apparel, which has its advantages in the climate which prevails in the islands. The men are superb in physique, hardy and of great endurance. They go through the drills with great precision, and native who do not belong to the organization regard the members with great respect and easy. To enlist in the company is a mark of distinction to which princes of the royal blood aspire, and through the islands, such is the respect the mand, no disturbance has been in the last year. The picture is printed is that of one of the corporals of the company, a young man whose father is one of the principal chiefs The loyalty of all the natives to the Stars and Stripes is most pronounced, and the Fourth of July is nowhere more enthusiastically or universally celebrated than in these islands, the only territories of the United States which lie south of the equator. REALLY SCARES THE CROWS. Clockwork Automaton Ought to Be of Value to Farmers: The shop window represented a field of yellow grain. In this field stood an automaton of life size, a man with a gun. Every few minutes the man put the gun to his shoulder and made as if to fire. "He doesn't fire in the window there," the clerk said. "It would be too noisy. But in real life, so to speak, he fires. He is a clockwork scarecrow, the latest thing out, a most successful invention. All the fashionable farmers will be having clockwork scarecrows next year. "The old motionless scarecrow is no good. The crows fear it the first day. After that it is nothing to them. They would eat out of its hand if the hand held grain. "Hence this innovation, the automatic, or clockwork scarecrow. He costs $30, and is guaranteed for three years. Wind him up in the morning, and he runs all day. "He works like the sample in the window. Every four, or every six minutes—you regulate that by a screw under his left arm—he turns round, puts up his gun and fires a blank cartridge. That scatters the crows—it scatters them, believe me. "Testimonials? Yes, here is a booklet of 300. Our automatic or clockwork scarecrow is giving universal satisfaction, and saving thousands of bushels of grain from the greedy crows." The Ruling Passion. At the age of 38 Miss Mary Waltedlong married. A year after she and her husband quarreled. "I could have married a dozen better men than you!" she exclaimed with fine fury, which goes to show after all that women are alike. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE "JOHNNY" POE, FORMER FOOTBALL STAR, A WANDERER. Some of Experiences of Princeton Gridiron Hero-with the "Wanderlust"-Has Been Soldier, Cowboy and Miner. New York.—John Prentiss Poe, Jr., sclon of the well known Poe family of Maryland, member of the Princeton varsity football teams of '95 and '96, brother of the five other Poes, who "made" the 'varsity football team, business failure, volunteer in the Spanish-American war, regular in the Philippines, marine at Panama, cowpuncher in New Mexico and Tonopah miner, has once more bobbed up in an obscure corner of the world. According to a cable dispatch recently received from San Salvador, this knockabout soldier of fortune has just sailed on the steamer San Juan for San Francisco to recruit a "foreign legion" to take part in the expected war between the Central American states. "Johnny" Poe, as he is affectionately called around Old Nassau's campus, was born about 34 years ago. He entered Princeton with the class of '95 and was immediately put on the varsity football team. He was one of the star players of that season. The next year he entered the college again with the class of '96. He only succeeded in making his collegiate history a twice-told tale; once more he was a brilliant success on the gridiron, but a failure in the classroom. That ended his college career. During the season of 1893-4 he coached the football team of the University of Virginia. The next year drifted into the steamboat business in Baltimore, and the following year tried real estate. His year in the real estate business was more or less of a touch-and-go affair. He found, or took, the time to A. JOHN PRENTISS POE, JR. (Former Gridiron Hero Who is a Real Soldier of Fortune.) coach the Princeton football team. In the chronological history of his occupations there is only one entry for the year 1897—"coached Princeton university football team." The following year the Spanish war broke out, and Johnny Poe did his best to tackle the foe, but luck was against him, as the regiment he was with never reached Cuba. This is the chronological history of the next five years of his life: 1899—Cowpunching in New Mexico. 1899-1901—With the Twenty-third United States Regular infantry in the Philippines. 1902—Surveying around Baltimore. 1902-1903—Back again cowpunching in New Mexico. 1904, January and February—In Marine corps at Panama, and then in coal business at Charleston, W. Va. At some unstated time he was also a militiaman in the feud district of Kentucky. He is next heard from in the Tonopah mining camp in the Nevada desert. But Tonopah and her "bad men" soon staled for Johnny Poe. He sought diversion in Central America, the premier hotbed of revolution and warfare. Last June he wrote to another classmate, this time from Bullfrog, Nev.: "Dear Bos: I received your letter some time ago asking for an account of my Honduras trip. I must beg off from writing that. Some day I hope to have the pleasure of telling the salient points at the Princeton club, in New York. "I must confess that my ambition is to see wars in new countries, and my regret is that I haven't the money to gratify this wish. "You do not know of any rich young fellow who would delight to go to war, no matter where or on which side—they are both usually wrong, so it doesn't make much difference which one chooses. He to pay the expenses and I'll volunteer to show him a side of life that, though rough in spots and monotonous as a Quaker meeting for long stretches of time, will beat hell out of the usual round of clubs, theaters, dances, card parties, summer resorts and all that the conventional rich man does. "There must be some such man who, disgusted with the awful sameness of things, would enjoy observing how the grandest game on earth is conducted in China, Arabia, Central America, Formosa, Borneo or the Congo. As ever, "JOHN P. POE, JR." MONUMENT TO JOHN SMITH. Statue of Jamestown's Founder Recently Unveiled. Washington—The "Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities" has undertaken to demonstrate fittingly its appreciation of the work Capt. John Smith accomplished as well as to perpetuate his memory. It is to this end that the society has had erected a bronze statue of Jamestown's founder on Jamestown Island, Virginia. The unveiling took place ```markdown ``` Statue of Capt. Smith. on September 11. The statue is eight feet six inches in height. It was modeled by William Cooper and cast in bronze. Gov. Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia, and his staff and many officers of the army and navy took part in the unveiling and dedication ceremonies. September 11 was Ohio day at the exposition, and many from the Buckeye state attended the exercises. CANDY AND ALCOHOL. Appetite for Them Almost the Same, Says Dr. Abbott. Philladelphia.—Dr. A. C. Abbott, health commissioner of Pennsylvania, has advanced the theory that "the appetite for alcohol and the appetite for candy are fundamentally the same, the choice being determined by the temperament of the individual." In support of this, the fact is cited that there has been a falling off in the amount of alcohol consumed per capita during the last few years, and a material increase in the consumption of sugar in its varied forms. It is further stated that chemically sugar and alcohol are similar, and their physiological action is in part the same, and both to some extent supply the demand for a concentrated and DR. C. ABBOIT quick-acting fuel for the body. Much of the prejudice which formerly existed against the use of candy has disappeared, and it is now used, especially in the form of chocolates by exhausted business men and even by soldiers on the eve of battle. Whitman on Reading. "Reading, most of it, by candle light, indoors, up against a hot register or steam pipes, is a disease; I doubt if it does anyone much good. The best reading seems to need the best open air. When I was down on the creek—Timber creek—and roamed out and along the water, I always took a book, a little book, however rarely I made use of it. It might have been once, twice, three, four, five, even nine, times. I passed along the same trail and never opened the book, but then there was a tenth time, always, when nothing but a book would do—not tree, or water, and anything else—only a book; and it was for that tenth trip that I carried the book."—Extracts from Horace Traubel's Daily Record of Conversations with Walt Whitman in His Old Age at Camden, N.

BLACK EYE TO ROOSEVELT NATIONAL ASPECT OF THE NEW YORK PRIMARY FIGHT BROWNSVILLE QUESTION IS THE ISSUE New York City, Sept. 25. A significant feature of the primary fight in New York city, September 24, on which date the Republican primaries were held, was the outcome of the contest in the Thirteenth Assembly District. This district has the largest number of colored voters in it of any assembly district in the State. The only issue involved was whether or not Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, who represented the district last year in the County Committee, and as its representative introduced the resolution in the Republican County Committee asking President Roosevelt to rescind the order discharging the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry because of the Brownsville affray, and which resolution appointed Congressmen Olcott, Bennett and Parsons to take the matter before Secretary Taft, which resulted in President Roosevelt's cablegram to Mr. Stewart, and THE LORD OF THE RING PROF LEON DE VAU N.

Placards were posted all over the district, with the heading, "Shall the black battalion be restored to the army? If so, vote for Gilchrist Stewart." A letter was sent to all of the colored voters reviewing the Brownsville case in detail, and asking them to sustain Stewart in his fight.

Copies of Senator Foraker's speech at Wilberforce were spread broadcast in the district, thereby bringing in the subsidiary issue as to whether or not Mr. Stewart would be returned to aid Senator Foraker. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Stewart, his forces carrying every colored district by majorities of from 3 to 30 to 1. The Republican party leaders of New York County are deeply puzzled over this defeat of the machine. In an interview with the Evening Telegram of New York City, Mr. Stewart said: "I do not regard this as a personal victory by any means. It is merely indicative of the feeling of the thousands of colored voters of New York, who are representing the thousands in the other States North, who will have something to say in the next election, that this question touches them very deeply; and if it is possible by their votes to do so, they intend to see that justice is rendered to these brave defenders of the nation's honor and its flag, which have been so outrageously treated.

I am free to confess that I am surprised myself at the manner in which the rank and file of the colored voters, scorning money considerations and the special pleading of the subsidized officeholders, rallied to the polls, and almost unanimously cast their votes in my favor. Out of the colored votes of two thousand enrolled, only sixty colored men voted the opposition ticket.
