VOL.27 NO.20 W. SIDNEY PITTMAN ARCHITECT OF THE RACE. M. Tuskegee Faculty for Five Man of Character and Mr. Pittman Will Marry Born Washington Next Month. From the Indianapolis Freeman. The heights by great men reached and kept, Not attained by sudden flight; While their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." immortal Longfellow, speaking his great heart of hearts in of "The Builders," earnestly and the sentiment of mankind reference to the constructive of the earth. The world rejoices longest and applauds the sincerely the men who have stood up the waste places and who reared monuments in brick and to contemorate the epochs of an development and to mark the posts of the onward march ofization. The thinkers, poets, orators and artists have given birth to spirit that has made for moral material development, but it is builders who have vitalized this spirit and given concrete expression to them, the aspirations and ideals of student and philosopher. The builders has made things possible; and they has made them actualities. W. Seyley Pittman, of Washington, confessedly the Negroes' foremost architect in the land, and whose greatest triumph is embodied in the magnificent Negro Building at the farstown Exposition, is a builder of the type of which Longfellow has so frequently sung. Combining most happily the genius of the student and the worker with his hands, he is both an idealist and a practical man of affairs—a dreamer, if you please, and a hard headed pusher for results. Following not the beaten paths trodden by the masses, he has wooed fortune as an architect—a builder of everlasting temples. A self-made man in the best sense of the word, he has struggled upward through the mores of poverty and prejudice, until today he stands at the head of his chosen profession, with a future most bright with the promise of higher honors still to come. * * * The parents of W. Sidney Pittman were both ex-slaves. The father was a butcher by trade, and the mother worked as a laundress. The family was prematurely left without a head, and early in life the faithful mother was compelled to assume the responsibility of the support of herself, and her three children, of whom Sidney was the youngest. How well she performed this sacred duty is attested by the fact that all were given a fair start in the struggle of existence, and all have "made good." Sidney, the subject of this sketch, first attended school in Montgomery, Ala., where he was born, April 21, 1875. Later he studied in the schools at Birmingham, returning finally to Montgomery, where he finished such courses as were available. Having heard marvelous stories of Tuskegee Institute and what it could do for an ambitious lad, he longed to go there. At the age of seventeen his hopes were realized, and he entered the famous school of Booker T. Washington as a work student. He proved to be an apt pupil, and soon commended himself to the attention of the observant principal, who took a deep interest in his fortunes, which interest continues to this day. In 1897 idney graduated in wheelwrighting and structural work, and received a diploma for a three years' course in architectural drawing, finishing also a course in the Normal Department, having worked out all expenses. * * * Tuskegee's faculty, seeing the very bright possibilities residing in the young man, and wishing to develop a teacher for the school, effected an arrangement with Mr. Pittman by which he would take a regular course in the higher branches of architecture, with special training in mechanical drawing, and return to the institution for service as a member of the faculty. In 1900 Mr. Pittman was accordingly admitted to Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, Pa., and by means of financial support advanced by Tuskegee Institute, was enabled to complete the regular curriculum as planned. So satisfactory was his progress that after six months at Drexel the officiary and instructors of that great school voluntarily voted him a free scholarship in architecture and all allied subjects, as a reward and encouragement for his efforts. On graduating in 1900, he was one of the four "honored" students of the class, and received special mention by the president, when the diplomas were awarded. Returning to Tuskegee as by original agreement, Mr. Pittman was given charge of the department of architectural drawing, and all planning and superintending of the buildings were included in his round of responsibilities. During the five years that he remained at the head of this department, over $250,000 worth of buildings were built, after his plans on the school grounds alone, add other buildings designed by him for various parts of the South involved an expenditure of fully half that amount. In the same period he graduated eight students in architectural drawing, planned and superintended the Collis P.Huntington Memorial Building. Tuing for the money of all the libraries he has yet given), and assisted constantly in the planning of the $35,000 Rockefeller Hall, the school's largest and finest dormitory for boys \* \* \* His ambition kindled by these phenomenal successes, like Alexander, Mr. Pittman "sighed for other worlds to conquer." He felt called to a broader sphere of action. Resigning at Tuskegee in May, 1905, he chose Washington as the field offering the best prospects along this particular line of endeavor, and the following October found him smugly enconced in a set of offices at the corner of Sixth and Louisiana avenue, in the business center of the National Capital. His rich talents did not go a-begging. From the beginning his services were in steady demand, and the work has gradually grown to the point where he has had to call in a regular assistant and a clerk, with a likeli hood that at the present rate of increase the services of another assistant will soon be required. Mr Pittman does not confine his operations to the District of Columbia, but makes a specialty of filling orders for work in any portion of the country, and has had many calls through out the surrounding States, and in the South and West. He is at present supervising work at Nokesville, Manassas, Alexandria, and in Arlington, Va., besides several valuable contracts in the city of Washington. He recently completed plans for a very large Trades School Building at Denmark, S. C., for the Voorhees Industrial School, of which Miss Elizabeth E. Wright, formerly of Tuskegee, is principal. He has just remodeled two large public halls in South Washington, and is now enlarging one of the leading hotels of Norfolk, Va. Work in Wasihngton and the District of Columbia is nearly evenly divided between white and colored clients. He is regularly employed and recommended by three of the leading white contractors of the city, and two white real estate lawyers. Mr. Pittman, however, takes the greatest pride in stating that colored real estate men, lawyers, contractors and builders have been the chief means of support of the office from its beginning. It is suggestive of the growth of the firm's popularity and reputation for square dealing that subsequently all classes have assisted liberally in one way and tanother toward lending it substantial encouragement. The chef d'ouvre of Mr. Pittman's brilliant career as an architect is the massive Negro Building at the James-town Exposition. It is his latest and best achievement, and is confessedly the handsomest structure within the vast enclosure. This building has been praised without stint by the most skilled architects of the country, and won the warmest congratulations at the hands of President Roosevelt during his visit there on "Georgia Day," and was the subject of the heartiest commendation by Dr. Boker T. Washington on "Negro Day." The drawings for this superb building took first place in competition with four of the race's expert architects, and won without material discussion the approval of the committee named by the United States Government to select the most suitable plans submitted by architects of the Negro race, to the end that the Negro Building would be in every detail a production of the people in whose interest it was to be used. This is the only instance where the United States government has awarded a colored architect the plans for one of its federal buildings. Further proof of the young man's general ability is found in the fact that he personally superintended the construction of the building at Jamestown, and when accepted by the Government inspectors, after a most rigid test, it was pronounced flawless, and conceded to be one of the strongest and most durable buildings on the exposition grounds. Other smaller buildings in connection with the Negro Department, and concessionaries, were also planned by Mr The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person's hand holding a pen or similar object. The background is indistinct and lacks any discernible features. THE MASTER OF THE WORLD Pittman, and they are fine specimens of the architect's versatility, taste and lofty conception of the "eternal fitness of things." From the stately colonial type to the Spanish Renaissance is a far cry, but on the Negro reservation Mr. Pittman has blended in true artistic fashion the prevailing features of the Greeks and of the Elizabethan era and the quaint castles of Queen Isabella, with here and there an example of Wesleyan simplicity, and not forgetting a dash of the Oriental in the various concession booths with which the place so abounds. Mr. Pittman's work at the exposition is a distinct triumph, and has established him as beyond question the race's premier in the building profession and a resident of the lumbia, having resid life. By act of last system of public eduagurated, which mention of the public school virtue of that act a tendent of schools ww. The first being appoint S. Montgomery, who by succeeded by Mr. B.

A. officials, held on the 3th of June, Mr. Pittman was engaged to draw plans for and superintend the construction of a $5,000 building for the colored branch of the YoungMen's Christian Association of the city of Washington. He is also engaged on tentative plans for the laying out of a Negro city on the Potomac River below Washington, to be developed into an industrial center and a pleasure resort. In addition to drawing a plan for the topographical features of the new city, Mr. Pittman is expected to design the amphitheater, the pavilion, bowling alleys, a new hotel and many cottages. The scheme is a stupendous one, and is said to be backed by a number of the wealthiest colored men in the vicinity, who see the need (Continued to Page 4.) * * * BRUCEUNDERCHARGES BRUCEUNDERCHARGES ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE UNDER CHARGES—THE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISMISSES COLLINS. The Board of Education met last Wednesday afternoon at the Franklin Building. There was a full meeting and a large and representative crowd of colored citizens was present. They were not disappointed because the attack of Roscoe Conkling Bruce received a just rebuke. Mr. John F. Cook called and asked if there was not a communication from Mr. W. Calvin Chase, who was present and desired to make a statement. Cpt. James F. Oyster, president of the Board of Education, handled the following communication to the secretary, who read it: to the President and Members of the Board of Education: Ladies and Gentlemen: I am a Citizen of the United States THE NEW YORKER and a resident of the District of Columbia, having resided here all my life. By act of last Congress a new system of public education was inaugurated, which meant a reorganization of the public school system. By virtue of that act a colored superintendent of schools was provided for. The first being appointed was Dr. W. S. Montgomery, who was subsequently succeeded by Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the present incumbent. Some few days ago said Bruce uttered and published a malicious charge against me to the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Wm. E. Chancellor. A copy of the same was forwarded to the president of the Board, Captain Oyster, in which he (Bruce, present assistant superintendent) stated that Mrs. Mary Syphax Gibson, a graduate of the Normal School (colored) and formerly a teacher in the public schools of this city, had paid me fifty ($50) dollars for having her.appointed in the night schools in the year of 1906-7. At the same time Bruce made the charge in writing he knew that it was false and malicious and a conception of his brain and imagination. I believe, and I have reasons to assert, from the accompanying affidavits of Mrs. Mary Syphax Gibson, that said Bruce knew at the time he uttered and published this malicious charge it was false and untrue and the motive behind it is well known to me, which I desire to state to the members of the Board of Education. many of whom I have the highest respect, as has been evidenced by my support of its reform policies, without compensation or hope of reward. That if I have ever acted in the capacity of an attorney before the Board or the Superintendent, it was when charges have been presented to the authorities which the law provides, that any accused teacher in the public schools has a right to be represented by counsel accompanied by a friend. I beg leave to further state my advice has been asked on certain matters and publications in my paper, The Bee, have been requested by the superintendent, Dr. Wm. E. Chancellor, and the assistant superintendent, Roscoe Conkling Bruce. That the last appointment that I ever requested was made at the request of a trustee, now a member of the present Board of Education. In conclusion. I think that I should be given an opportunity, in justice to myself, to defend myself against the malicious aspersions and that Roscoe Conkling Bruce be removed as an unfit official to represent the Colored Schools of the District of Columbia. Wm. Calvin Chase. The following is the malicious libel sent to Captain Oyster: September 30, 1907. Dr. W. E. Chancellor, Superintendent of Public Schools, Washington, D. C. My Dear Dr. Chancellor: Mrs. M. S. Gibson is, I understand, making complaints to members of the Board of Education because she was not reappointed to the night schools. Among the reasons which justify Mrs. Gibson's elimination from the service is the fact that she herself voluntarily told me that she had got into the night school in 1906-7 by paying Mr. W. Calvin Chase $50. I can keegee's largest and costliest build-not vouch for the truth, or the falsity of Mrs. Gibson's statement; the fact that she did make the statement amply justifies her elimination. Personally appeared before me a Notary of Public in and for the City and District, aforesaid, Mrs. Mary Syphax Gibson, who being duly sworn according to law deposes and says as follows: Last winter I called on Mr. R C Bruce, then Supervisor of the Tenth Division, to inquire about the position of Librarian at the Summer School. He advised me to see Dr. Chancellor, which I did. The latter told me if Mr. Bruce would recommend me I would be appointed to the position. Mr. Bruce said he could not support me, as his superior officer, Mr W. S. Montgomery, did not favor me and he (Bruce) could not go against him (Montgomery). I told Mr. Bruce that I had heard that Mr. Chase had a great deal of influence, I was thinking of seeing him, but as the latter is an attorney I suppose I would have to pay him at least $50. Mr. Bruce advised me not to do this, saying he would not care for Mr. Chase to know he said this, as he (Mr. Chase) thought well of him and his late father. I replied, "Very well, Mr. Bruce, I will take your advice and not see Mr. Chase." This ended our talk on the school question, and I will swear I have not seen Mr. Chase for years until yesterday. October 5th, when he called me em about this rumor, of which he says he heard through Captain Oyster, President of Board of Education. (Mrs.) Mary Syphax; Gibson. October 6th, 1907.

Last Monday, September 30th, 1907, I called on the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Bruce, to inquire why I was not reappointed for this term as a teacher in the night schools. He informed me that I was recommended for reappointment. Mr. Bruce says he dropped me because I told him that I had paid Mr. W. Calvin Chase $50 to have me put in the Night Schools last year, and that I intended to offer him (Mr. Chase) a larger sum to put me in the day school. This is false. Until yesterday, when Mr. Chase called at my home to inquire as to this rumor, I had not seen Mr. Chase for several years. I did not apply for a day school. Mr. Bruce informed me Monday that he dropped my name as he thought anyone to be mixed up in an affair like this has not sufficient judgment to teach in the public schools. Being a graduate and having taught in our schools, the Assistant Director of Night Schools suggested my appointment for last year and my first knowledge of it was when I saw my name with the By Miss Beatriz L.

To Get the Best Results with Biscuits Cornbread and Sour Milk Corn Cake—Soft Ginger bread Is Nice. No Stropping, No Honling 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.

For the biscuit, sift together two cupfuls flour, one-half teaspoonful salt, a level teaspoonful sugar and a rounding teaspoonful baking powder. Put into a bowl a half cup each sour cream and milk, then beat into it half teaspoonful soda dissolved in a table-spoonful cold water.

Pat with the floured hand until a smooth cake is formed, then cut into shape with a small biscuit cutter or tea caddy lid. Lay in a greased biscuit pan and bake in a hot oven. If you have no cream, rub a spoonful lard or butter in the prepared flour before adding a cupful sour milk with the soda. Keep the dough as soft as possible, so that the biscuit will be tender. Buttermilk biscuits are made in the same way, using a tablespoonful shortening to a quart of flour. W. B. CORSETS The W. B.

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 twelfth story as from the ground floor. The installation of the telephone is every suite in the modern hotel and large apartment house accounts for a portion of the increase. SHAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUQ 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 whistle 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 angulsh was enough. THE BEE AND McCALL'S GREAT FASHION MAGAZINE one year for $2.00 COUPOIL.

Butter the ramequins, put in a layer of the buttered crumbs, then a layer of oysters and sprinkle them with salt and pepper; then add a sprinkling of buttered crumbs, a table-spoonful of oyster liquor or sherry wine, then a second layer of oysters; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with buttered crumbs. Leave the dish uncovered and bake about 20 minutes. Serve in the ramequin. For the Flower Lover. Little Glass contrivances are to be bought that will assist in beautifying the home with a few flowers. They go into the bottom of a vase, and being pleased and open to the water underneath, a half dozen blossoms will stand apart gracefully and fill a fairly large vase. Home-made substitutes of cardboard, a little larger than the mouth of the bowl, or smaller if it flares and leaves a place where on to rest the circle of pierced cardboard, answer the purpose very well, but they must be covered with the flowers and leaves. About Curtain Poles Often when moving into a new house there is the need for an extra long curtain pole and if one is not in a convenient place to purchase it, a substantial one can be made by properly cutting two for the purpose. Take two poles and lay side by side, then, with a saw cut diagonally through one end. This leaves both poles with sharpened ends which can be nailed together with fine long wire nails. They can be so cleverly adjusted that the mark is not noticeable. Velvet Cake. Cream together one cup sugar and one-half cup butter. Break into this one egg and beat all together. Sift together one and one-fourth cups flour, one-third cup corn starch, one teaspoon of baking powder and pinch of salt, one-half cup sweet milk and another egg. Now add a little of the flour, the other egg and a little milk, beating each in thoroughly until all are gone. Bake in loaf tin 40 or 45 minutes. Rust from Flatiron To remove rust from flatirons rub them with a little warm grease and wrap them up in brown paper. Then dissolve a small piece of soda in hot water. Dip the irons in this; rub them dry, and put them to heat as usual. When ready to use rub them on a piece of brown paper that has a little powdered bata buck on it. Inexperienced Cook's Guide. A good rule for a young housekeeper in cooking vegetables is that all vegetables that grow above the ground should be put on to cook in boiling water; all that grow below the ground, except new potatoes, in cold water. Graham Bread Without Yeast. Two cups graham, one cup wheat flour, one teaspoon soda, a little salt, one cup sour milk, one-half cup molasses, one cup cold water. Stir well, and bake at once. French Eggplant. Slice an eggplant and fry each slice brown. Put a layer of them while hot in a baking dish, add a layer of cheese and then one of white sauce, until the dish is full, with cheese last. Brown in the oven. CANDLES FOR DINNER TABLE. Tallow Dips Will Answer the Purpose if Properly Prepared. Candles add so much to the appearance of the dinner table that housekeepers should use them even more generally than is now the custom. Often the expense proves a drawback, as these charming lights have a way of burning out very quickly. When wnx or prepared candles are used the cost is undoubtedly an item to be considered. The economical woman, however, will not choose these expensive varieties, but will buy instead, the ordinary tallow dips. These if kept in a cold place between meals will burn for three nights. If these tallow dips are used in the porcelain candleholders they not only may be used longer, but none will know whether they are of the finest or poorest quality. The first expense of the patent candles, while quite inconsiderable in itself is, very soon, more than equalized by the saving of being able to use the candle inside up to the tiniest tip. Candles of any kind should be kept on the ice for at least 24 hours before being used. It will not only make them burn longer, but more brilliantly. TO UTILIZE BITS OF SOAP. It Is Lxtravagant to Throw Away the Odds and Ends. Soap left over from the toilet, the laundry and the kitchen is usually considered so much waste. It is thrown out, though probably most housewives have misgivings as to the extravagance of not using the has scrap of an expensive or good soap but every small piece of soap should be saved. No matter to what thy dimensions it has been reduced it will help to clean the bathtub and the stationary washstand. This may be accomplished by means of a substantial cotton or woolen bag which should be about a foot square and made with a drawing string. Into it it is dropped from time to time the bits of soap collected from the bedrooms, the bathroom, the laundry and the kitchen. The bag is closely drawn at the mouth and the string wound about the top and then tightly tied. When this bag is dipped into water the contents give forth plenty of suds and the whole may be used as a cleaning cloth to scrub the bathtub and marble bowl. Corn Relish. Materials—Two dozen ears of corn, six large white onions, one large, firm head of cabbage, six small red, peppers, six large sweet peppers, one cup sugar, two quarts vinegar, one-quarter cup salt, two heaping tablespoonfuls ground mustard, two tablespoonfuls celery seed. Way of Preparing—Take a sharp knife and, after husking, shave the corn from the cobs. Chop your cabbage, onions and peppers. Mix your mustard, with one pout of your vinegar and mix all of the other ingredients. Then place the latter mixture of all the ingredients into a kettle and boil them 20 minutes, stirring all the time. Now add your mustard and vinegar mixture, bring to the boiling point once more, place in bottles and seal while hot. This telish is a fine accompaniment of cold meats. Dark Fruit Cake. Two eggs, one cup of sugar, one-half cup molasses, one-half cup butter, one-half cup milk, one-half teaspoon of soda, one cup of black coffee (or good without), one-fourth pound of raisins, one-fourth pound of currants, one-fourth pound of citron, one teaspoon of all kinds of spices, two and one-half cups of flour. Make one loaf. Bake two hours in moderate oven. I mix the soda, flour (sifted) together and then roll the fruit in it to prevent falling at the bottom, pinch of salt. Small seedless raising are preferable. Large ones should be chopped. Pineapple Tapioca. Soak one cup taploca, drain off water, and add juice two lemons ad one-half cup of water; also add one-half pound shredded pineapple and its juice, and one and one-half cups sugar. Cook slowly until almost clear; strt carefully; put into this whites of three eggs well beaten. Serve ice cold with whipped cream Currant Cakes. The following is adapted from a Greek recipe: One pound flour, one half pound butter, three-fourths pound sugar, four eggs, one half pound currants, well washed and dredged, one half lemon, grated tind and juice, one teaspoon cinnamon, drop from a spoon on well buttered paper, lining a baking pan. Bake quickly. White Wallpaper. All white watered paper for walls has proved to be the relief sought by women of fastidious taste from the overflowed cretonne papers that become so exceedingly tiresome to the eyes and nerves. The effect of a room of which the walls are papered in white and furnished with cretonnes of a choice cloth art, is charming Chestnut Salad. For a dainty-salad slice thin a dozen or two Italian chestnuts that have been bleached and cooked tender, and mix them with preserved cherries that have been cut in two. Dress with oil, lemon juice, salt and paprika, and serve in white lettuce leaves. Hickory Nut Ple. Mix thoroughly one cup of sugar, one-half cup of bread crumbs, two-thirds cup of hickory nut kernels and one tablespoon of flour. Fill pastry, cover with sweet milk; drop a few chunks of butter over the top and bake. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire-$1.00. Julius Cohen, 1104 7th street, N. W. ST.

When the dish is full place a layer of green corn, from the cob, and a little rolled cracker to give firmness, with bits of butter on top. Add a cup of veal broth, which must penetrate all of it, and bake half or three-quarters of an hour, according to degree of heat in the oven. A Chocolate Affair Chocolate now is served at afternoon functions where tea once was considered the only proper beverage. At a charming afternoon affair given by a girl who had become tired of the beaten track of the usual "teas" the refreshments served were composed almost entirely of the chocolate variety. There were cups of hot chocolate with whipped cream, thin bread and butter sandwiches, with olives for a relish, this of course was followed by a chocolate ice, fancy chocolate cakes and chocolate bonbons. To Remove Medicine Stains Stains made by medicine and lime-ment are often obstinate to remove in the hands of an amateur. Iodine marks may be removed by washing the spots with strong ammonia until it fades, after which wash with tepid water and strong soap. Ammonia is equally good for removing cod liver oil stains. Fuller's earth made into a paste and thickly applied to the spots will also remove them. Fairy Pudding.

One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months .....50 Subscription monthly .....20 OUR LEADERSHIP In view of the quasi leadership among the colored Americans, it is incumbent upon them, individually, to be his own leader. Our present leadership, even in great religious gatherings, proves to be apoLOGetic individuals. With but a few exceptions colored leaders are always looking for the "loaves and fishes." In great negro political conventions you will find one or two traitors. Why is this? is a question which has puzzled learned political philosophers. The race is divided on negro leadership. It is unfor- tunate that every curbstone politician imagines himself a leader. He will not be advised and neither will he be dictated to by anyone. If you put the quasi leader in office he imagines that his white deputy must run it, and he, the principal, must necessarily subscribe to what is done by his white subordinate. Many of these so-called representatives of the race have been an impediment to its progress. Colored Americans don't any more respect or regard what the negro office-holders say or do. The masses know, with but a few exceptions, that they must obey their master's lash. Many of them have gone out of their way to apologize for the blunders of their chief executive. "Silence is sometimes golden," but many of them haven't sense enough to know it. A great number of these so-called leaders have been given rear seats and conditions have forced them to look up to the masses. They must either do that or die ignominious political death. It is amusing to see so many small great Negroes in the United States, men who can't go to the White House without a guide. A young man for without a guide. If young man for whom The Bee has the utmost respect related a story sometime ago of the visit several so-called negro leaders made to the White House under President McKinley. The only man in the entire crowd who demonstrated his manhood was the Editor of The Richmond Planet. Another individual in the company who claimed to be a great leader this day agreed with President McKinley on a certain proposition that he claimed to have had knowledge, but President McKinley informed this apologist that only two men knew. Long before this delegation of big negroes called upon the President every man had a grievance, but before they left they all agreed with him with but one exception. This young man who accompanied the party said that he became disgusted with the so-called negro leader. He is, indeed, a failure with but two or three exceptions. A CALAMITY JUSTICE'S COURT. Sub-District No. 6. 911 G St. N.W. Washington, D. C. October 5, 1907. You are hereby notified that I stop my subscription to The B.e. of which you are editor, from this date. You will greatly oblige me by not sending the paper either to my house or to my office. Robert H. Terrell. The Editor of The Bee regrets that he has just received a note from Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell, requesting that the subscription to The Bee be discontinued from the date of his note, October 5th. Just think of it! Calamities never come single handed. This learned jurist's name will from October 5th be erased from the subscription list of The Bee. This broadgauged and learned jurist, who has a national reputation which any savings bank would envy, a man learned in law and who never allows his reassuring faculties to disturb his sleep, will no longer look through his gold eye glasses for classic information that he often found in The Bee. Then, again, the great school in which his household will soon be interested will be in ignorance of events which should undoubtedly occupy the reading room of the learned jurist. What will become of The Bee with the name of Justice Terrell erased from its subscription list? Posterity will look over the sacred archives of this institution in vain for the name of Robert H. Terrell. There will be no explanation, no cause given why he sent this note. Posterity can only conjecture. The Bee must place in one corner of the sacred list these lines: The name of Robert H. Terrell once graced the leaves of this book, but on account of his great knowledge in law and books he could no longer stomach small things, hence he had his name erased from the subscription list of The Bee. Will some charitable friend of The Bee weep with it? It is a calamity from which it will not soon recover. BRUCE UNDER CHARGES AND COLLINS DISMISSED Roscoe Conkling Bruce is now under charges and will be tried for his malicious false and libelous communication that he sent to Dr. Chancellar and Captain Oyster and against the Editor of The Bee. It is quite evident that Bruce knew what he was doing when he wrote that malicious lie. He knew that Mrs. Gibson never uttered such a falschool as he preferred to the superintendent. Fred Collins, who went to confer didn't confer at all, but he, made two contradictory statements to the superintendent, who recommended his dismissal for the good of the service. This is the man that Bruce had to come to him to foster up his farce sensation. It is the intention of the Editor of The Bee to carry this matter into court, but before doing so it was thought best to wait until the committee investigated all the facts. The committee will find out that the guilty parties have not been exposed, but they will be at the proper time. This is only one of the great blunders Bruce has committed. This letter to the superintendent against Lucy Motor was unmanly, and when The Bee publishes it the country will say that Dr. Watson has been a victim of mistaken confidence. Bruce's letter is contradicted by those who recognized her ability at Tuskegee. This remarkable document by Bruce will be published in the next issue. STAND PATTERS Dr. Wm. E. Chancellars and his negro assistant, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, who declared that they were stand patterns, and Bruce, who said that his bars was right in eliminating negro lawyers, will be given a sample of some of the steel that is in the negro lawyer. Bruce came to this city from Tuckeee, Alabama. When he was brought here by Mary Church Terrell The Bee did think that he would behave himself for a few months at least. The Bee wants to say in all kindness to this young man who had a true friend in The Bee to pack up and leave. It makes no difference whether Dr. Chancellar signs his dismissal or not, he must go. The people propose to have a change in both offices, and these stand patterns will see that the people mean business. Both superintendents secured a band of liars that could not be trusted. Captain Oyster became disgusted. The col- ored attorney has a duty to perform, and he means to perform it. The public schools are public property, and no man has any right to say that he owns them.. A teacher has a right to employ a lawyer if her rights are being taken from her. The Editor of The Bee is willing and ready, as a lawyer, to defend any teacher in the public schools whenever his services are needed. THE COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE BRUCE The President of the Board of Education has appointed a committee to investigate the charges against Bruce that will go to the ballot, and we will see if he had the slightest foundation to make sonal objections to Mrs. Syphax tendent of Schools. Why wasn't he man enough to state his personal objections to, Miss Syphax without such a subterfuge? It is a fact that the young man was married in the lady's house, and if he had personal grievances against her or any of her family he should have been more magnanimous. Mrs. Syphax is not only a young widow with a baby to support, but an orphan. She is from one of the leading families in the community. She is a Normal School graduate and a competent teacher. Thrown out of employment as she was under a subterfuge is more than the public will tolerate. This way of throwing out teachers without an investigation is more than what Congress had intended, and at its next session The Bee feels confident that the entire school system will be modified. AGE VS. DR. CORROTHERS The New York Age in its attempt to be funny stated that Dr. S. L. Caruthers talked too much and that the Bishop should put a check on his mouth. Dr. Caruthers has the confidence and respect of the people in this country. He is neither a trimmer nor an apologist. He is a man and he doesn't hesitate to express himself on all questions pertaining to his people. The Bishop will not attempt to put a check on himself for expressing himself in the interest of his people. If we had more men like Dr. Caruthers the country would be a great deal better off. The people have confidence in him, and they will follow him, The Age to the contrary notwithstanding. While The Bee may not agree with everything that Dr. Carrothers may say or do, he never does an act that will injure his people. He will never be a party to small things, and neither would he be guilty of committing acts that would affect his people. He has a large following and the support of his people. THE SCHOOLS AND THEIR TROUBLES In another column of The Bee will be seen and read with interest the affidavit of Mrs. Harry Syphax Gibson, the daughter of the late William Syphax. It is immaterial to the Editor of The Bee whether the superintendent of schools believes the lady or the Editor. Facts don't lie. The Editor is prepared to show that any dealings that he has had with the schools have been upright and honorable and that he has done nothing more than the law permits. It will be necessary for Congress to investigate the schools and find out upon whose recommendation certain recent appointments were made and if any money was paid, and by whom and to whom paid. It will be an easy matter to find out the individuals. This tirade against the Editor of The Bee is a subterfuge to shield the guilty of the real violators of the law. Time alone will establish the justice of the contention made by the Editor of The Bee. MESSRS. COOK AND HORNER The stand that Messrs. Cook and Horner, members of the Board of Education, took against the adoption of the committee's report on the recent examination for supervising principal was just and ATTORNEY HORNER'S DEFENSE. Had it not have been for the respect Attorney Horner had for womanhood he would have given the impudent female members of the Board of Education a good dressing down last Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Horner should have taken into consideration that if a woman puts herself in a position to be criticised or attacked she may expect the consequences, no matter whom she may be. The Bee, however, extends its congratulations to Messrs. Horner and Cook for their position in the School Board. Mr. Horner's defense for the honor of the colored schools was manly and the people are with him. If there is any honor in the next Congress, and The Bee believes that there will be, the colored schools will be conducted by people of their choice. THE RACE'S GREATEST ARCHITECT Mr. W. Sidney Pittman stands today the greatest architect in the country in the colored face. The Bee reproduces the article in this week's issue written by Mr. R. W. Thompson, the best-known newspaper correspondent among colored men in the United States. Mr. Thompson's tribute to this young man is a deserving compliment. True as he said that Mr. Pittman is unassuming and true to his words. He has made his own way through the world, which is an evi a monument to this accomplished dence of his ability to do without the aid of others. The negro building at the Jamestown Exposition is artist. The Bee tenders its congratulations. THE READ ISSUE The public should not lose sign of the real issue in this school controversy. The charge that has been alleged against the colored attorneys is only a subterfuge as subsequent investigations will show. Are the colored schools a bar to the whites is the issue, and why did Dr. Chandler make such a wholesale charge against the colored schools? It is not a question whether certain teachers and janitors were appointed ten years ago, but why were the colored schools declared to be a bar to the whites? CONGRESS SHOULD INVEST TIGATE Under the present school administration the Editor of The Bee has asked for the reinstatement of four teachers who were removed for prejudicial and cowardly reasons. The superintendent promised to do justice to these injured teachers. The Bee will tell all about that magazine article which was denied and many other interesting facts. Don't lose sight of the issue—Chancellar's speech. THE INTENT OF CONGRESS It was not the intent of Congress to adopt a school law that requires to have a lawyer to explain. Our schools should be constructed so that a child could understand. The Board of Education cannot understand its own laws. The Board should ask Congress to modify the school laws to such an extent that "he who runs may read." TOBY SPEAKS Little Toby, editor of The Cleveland (Ohio) Journal, is either a fool or demented. He attempts to be funny, but he makes himself out an ass. The very idea of Burton being elected, in Cleveland could only have originated in the brains of a fool. Toby need not worry about The Bee. SALOONS. The Bee is in favor of closing those saloons that are conducted on a skin game. There are saloons in this city that will charge certain citizens double the amount they charge certain other citizens. The Excise Board could justly put such saloons out of business. They have no right to exist. There should be a law enacted by Congress of prohibiting saloons to exist that make discrimination in their sales. MR. GROGAN The people of this city should read carefully the large advertisement that appears weekly in this paper of Mr. Peter Grogan. It is one of the largest installment houses in this city and one of the finest and cheapest houses from which to purchase your goods. This is the place where you may make your own terms. It would do well to give him a trial, if nothing more. Read this advertisement and mention The Bee when you call. CITIZEN'S COMMITTEE CITIZEN'S COMMITTEE The Colored Citizens' Committee will hold a public meeting next week on the public school question. It is expected that fully two thousand people will be present. Important business will be transacted. A man is often dismissed from the public service without cause. There are people in the world who never know when they are doing well. Mr. Monroe was discharged because he failed to show a first-class engineer license to run an engine. Whenever advising the assistant superintendent should take lessons. It is not advisable to follow fools always. The smelling committee may run against a snag before long if it hasn't already. The father of the son made several appointments 10 years ago. It is not necessary to send out a drag net to know how many schools have been sold under the present administration and by whom. Somewhere in the Bible someone erected a gallows for another fellow, but the man who erected it got it himself. Things will happen that way sometimes. Fred Collins should have told the smelling committee to whom he is giving $10 per month. He should frame those receipts as mementoes to posterity. There are blacklegs in and around the city who will be upon the farm one of these bright days. He should go to work and keep his brains active. The man on Capitol Hill, who told the smelling committee of the public schools that he paid $895 to his uncle for a job aught to be given a medal. At this junction the smelling committee became disgusted. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN (Continued from Page 1.) of such an investment, and believe it will yield liberal returns. Mr. Pittman will continue to prosper. He has character, grit, determination, and courage, together with an abiding confidence in himself and if the future of his people. He is faithful to every trust reposed in his hands and keeps his word. He promises little, but delivers much, and is nure to grasp every opportunity to bask in "the fierce white light that beats about a throne." But his work tells, and the mute, but eloquent testimony of the splendid buildings he has given to an appreciative world will keep his memory forever green in the hearts of the forces who are worth while, and in them he has a monument more lasting than marble, more enduring than brass.

T. Vernon, the famous or- addressed the Chautauqua Emanc- tion Celebration last Monday It is said by thousands who be- him speak to be the equal of F. W. J. Bryan as an orator. Complimented by Ex-Senator Mason, who followed Mr. Vernon and said that he had heard all the great men speak in this and other countries and that his address was the fine we had ever heard fall from the any man. We consider it a great compliment from Mr. Mason will find a part of his address in a other column. Signature Is In Great Demand Who is this man Vernon and what is the secret of the great value of his autograph? Vernon is in the autograph business. He makes his living by putting his name on paper. He caters to a clientele that is insatiable. His signatures are all alike, but vary in price from $1 to $10,000, according to the paper on which they are written. Still no one ever tries to beat him down for the $10,000 kind is ten thousand fold more desirable than the $1 kind. He was born 36 years ago in a log cabin on a plantation near Lebanon Mo., of parents who had been slayes He went to work in the fields dragging hay at the age of 8. When 15 years of age he began his education at a school for negroes in Missouri finishing his course of study at 15 He taught schol in Missouri for six years, and then took charge of Western University, a schol for negroes at Quindaro, Kan. Mr. Vernon was then the only teacher, and his pupils numbered six. When he left the institution last June he had 14 teachers and 250 pupils. The college property consists of 130 acres of land, with buildings valued at $175,000. He is affiliated with leading negro organizations, has had the degree of master of arts and doctor of laws conferred upon him, and as an educator an orator, a writer and a leader of the people up to the light of a higher plane of life, he is classed with the famous teacher of Tuskegee.

Calvin Chase, Esq. "In life we shall find many men that are great, and some men that are good, but very few men that are both great and good." You will observe from the caption of this letter that I am located in the city where stands a fitting monument to the character, memory and greatness of the late "Hon. Frederick Douglass." I remember him well, and I have listened to his appeals and eloquence. The great conflict came, the onslaught was terrific, the crisis was acute, and but for the united efforts of the "war Democrats" and the unswerving loyalty of the colored people, North and South, this great nation would have been cut in twain. No doubt of that. It was not the Republican party triumphed; it was the "Union party" and this is the key note of my letter. Within a few days it has come to me that you are at the head of a great racial movement vs. "Teddyissm" and "Taft Taffy." While I wish to commend the idea, I wish, in great kindness and good will, to go steadily, move discreetly, and acquit yourselves like men; yea, verily, like God-fearing and God-loving men. The so-called "Republican Party" of today is not the party we had in the days of Lincoln! No, indeed! I have no "pet names" to mention, but the G. O. P. is not the colored man's "grateful friend." I am ashamed to say it, but the logic of events suffices. "Enuff sed." What I want to suggest and urge upon your race is to move aright now and co-operate with those who have been, are now, and will be your friendss, namely. The Prohibition Party. Or, a it is sometimes called, "The Grand New Party," for North and South. If you are familiar with our history, and platform as a party, you know what I say is true. We are more truly Democratic for all the people, without respect to class, race or color, than any other organization extant. (a) We are for equal rights and privileges to all who can read and write, both sexes included. (b) We are in favor of home protection, as well as industrial tariff, and we declare that the tariff should be a non-partian question. (c) We oppose special or class legislation by State or Nation. We feel that our affairs here at home (in the United Statess) are of more importance to us as a mixed people than so much "diplomatic galore" abroad. Yes, sir! In a word, I may say that it needs no prophet to discern the trend of current events; the attitudes of the two dominant parties—the one is an ingrate and rotten to the core, while the other is without a "spinal column" so the Opportunity Is now up before us. Let us strike hands together, mark time, shoulder to shoulder, "forward, march," on to freedom that means liberty; inalienable rights, that mean "equal privileges to all," industrial schools for the masses, and the sobriety and virtue of our "American Homes." The first step or movement is to overthrow the present dynasty. It is not true to its promises, and it is unworthy of support. I am not a politician, a "wire-puller" or a "heeler." No, sir! I am a plain citizen, a traveling salesman, a member of the Society of Friends (or Quakers) and as I go up and down this heritage I observe what I see with my eyes and hear with my ears, and Jesus himself says, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Mark the words. Yes; to listen is courtesy; but to listen and heed is to hear. I obey. Quite a difference, indeed! Wishing you grace and wisdom in your well-chosen purpose, I am, truly, Your friend and well-wisher. Color-phobia has reached British Columbia. It will reach Heaven, and Hades next. At the next Papal Consistory to be held in Rome four new Cardinals will be created; but no Americans. In the death of Rear Admiral John G. Walker the United States Navy has lost a distinguished officer. Requiescat in pace. The Spanish War veterans are opposed to the admission of the colored veterans to the Department Encampment. At a meeting held of Harding Camp, E. L. Coogan, department commander, was the one who led the movement. The way things are now moving, we advise the Negro to keep out of the army and navy, and inaugurate independent or- # organizations and let the white brother fight his own battles. The Negro has been in every battle from the beginning of this great land of the free, and he has been and is now getting the short end of the stick. During the last rebellion if the North could have whipped the South without the aid of the Negro, today we would be slaves. Even the South, before the end, proposed to arm the slaves; and yet it is claimed that the Negro is no good. The whole trouble is that the white man of the United States is jealous of rapid progress made by the Negro of the United States since the war. the Washington Asylum Hospital have been badly abused. A secret investigation is being made by order of the Commissioners. Such things should be looked up. Star chamber proceedings on the Russian method should be suppressed in this country, supposed to be the land of the free. One of the main reasons of the troubles with colored Masons is the ideas of some Grand Masters that they have the full control of the higher degrees, when they only have control of the First Second and Third Degrees. The other degrees are controlled by their respective Grand Bodies. Graft in many cases is the root of this evil. We rest here The Jap is a born soldier. During the recent unpleasantness in this country they sounded the bugle. Every Jap responded. Scouts were sent out. After finding no danger, the bugle again was sounded and they disbanded. Every Jap in this country and others has to report his whereabouts to his Council. The Emperor of Japan can put his hand on each of his subjects in any part of the world at any time. If the colored brother of the United States was only united like this, how much nicer we would get along. Ladies and Gentlemen make easily from $2 to $5 daily, representing us. Steady income. Easy. Success sure. Particulars free. Address Taylor Remedy Co., Dept. 21, Louisville, Ky. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT ADDRESS. Adopted at The Annual Meeting at Boston, Mass., ugust 26 to 28, 1007 For the third time the Niagara Movement in annual meeting appeals to the world and to America. This has been a year of wrong and discrimination. There sits today in the governor's chair of a sovereign Southern Commonwealth a man stained with the blood of innocent black workingmen who fell in the Atlanta massacre, and whose unavenged death cries to God for justice. What answer does Georgia return: The fraudulent disfranchisement of her citizens, and with the echo of her fell attack on demoeracy sound the eager voices of a great tribunal dedicated to industrial freedom, which has in unseemly haste scurried to uphold social slavery and the vicious and nasty Jim Crow car. And why not? Has not the man in the White House set them brave example by bowing before the brown and armed dignity of Japan and swaggering roughshod over the helpless black regiment whose bravery made him famous? With such example why should not the lawless and vicious of the land gake courage? Why should not the less civilized parts of our country follow this lead and spread the mockery of republican government in the South? But we will not follow. We are Americans. We believe in this land. We cannot silent see it false to its great ideals. We call for repentance, regeneration, reconsecration to the ideals of Wasihington, Jefferson, and our own Hamilton. We demand freedom from labor peonage. We demand a free and fair ballot. We demand the denial of national representation to States who deny the rights of citizens. We demand Federal legislation forbidding exclusion of any persons from interstate cars on account of race or color. We ask common school training for every child, if necessary, at national expense. We demand full exoneration and reinstatement of our shamefully libelled soldiers, and, finally, in God's name, we ask justice, and not only do we ask and pray, but we back our prayer by deeds. We call on the 500,000 free black voters of the North. Use your ballots to defeat Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, or any man named by the present dictatorship. Better vote for avowed enemies than for false friends. But, better still, vote with the white laboring classes, remembering that the cause of labor is the cause of black men, and the black man's cause is labor's own. We are not discouraged. We thank God for life and health and property, for shade and shine, and above all for the opportunity in the twentieth century of Jesus Christ to fight the battle of humanity in the very van of His army. Help us, brothers, for the victory which lingers, must and should prevail. THE LORD OF THE RING The Bee begs leave to introduceto the citizens of Washington Mr. Leon De Voux, the world's greatest photographer, who has traveled very extensively, and has given satisfaction in the profession of which he is the master. Colored Americans have largely depended upon white photographers to do their work and accept it if it does not satisfy them. There is not a white photographer of any note in the city that will permit the photo of a colored American to be placed upon exhibition. Mr. De Voux is an expert in his profession. He makes his pictures the exact likeness of his patrons. He has leased for a term of years one of the most convenient and commodious places near the Fourteenth Street Bank, 1359-61 You streets, near the corner of Fourteenth street northwest. Mr. De Voux will have upon exhibition some of his own work as an evidence of his artistic workmanship. His photos are as natural as the person himself. He means to give his patrons entire satisfaction, and if he fails, your money is refunded. There is no artist in the United States who has made the reputation that he has. Mr. De Voux wants the world to know that his studio will be opened to the public on or about Wednesday, October 9th, and the citizens of Washington should avail themselves of the opportunity of the great offers that he is making. The public should inspect his studio and select the style or character of pictures desired. MONEY REFUNDED. If you are not satisfied with your pictures, your money will be refunded. This proposition alone ought to be sufficient to assure the public that Mr. De Voux is a superior artist. He makes you look like a natural image. So artistic is his work. There is no photographer in this country who has traveled as Mr. De Voux. He has in his travels acquired great knowledge in photo-making. His work has been pronounced superior to any artist in his line of business. It will not cost you anything to call and inspect his studio: It will not cost you anything if your photos don't suit you. Artists are known by their work. They are appreciated for what they can do. This city has been in need of a first-class photographer for years. Colored Americans may have their pictures placed where they will be seen and admired. Mr. De Voux claims to be able to do any kind of work in this line of business. There is no flattery about his work. He portrays the person in his natural shape and at the same time makes the image to be admired. His studio opened October 7th, and if the public wishes to inspect first-class work, Mr. De Voux is the artist that the people of this city have been looking for theseyears. His studio will have its opening October 7th, and be continued for thirty days, to enable the public to be convinced that Mr. De Voux is the artist that the people of this city have been looking for these years. Mr. De Voux has succeeded in securing the services of Mr. William Hoag, the finest developing and printing artist identified with the colored race, as assistant and manager. He was formerly with Sexton and Maxwell of St. Louis, Mo. Artists of other nationalities do not cater for colored citizens' trade. The Bee presents a man who is superior to any artist in the country, no matter to which nationality he belongs. Call and inspect his work. His studio is 1359-61 You street northwest. James H.

TABLE DELICACIES RECIPES FOR BOTH NEW AND OLD DISHES. To Prepare Unfermented Grape Juice—Canned Grape Juice With Sugar—Raisine Marmalade is an idea from France. Unfermented Grape Juice. and pick over sound Concord grape, rejecting all that are soft. Fat in a stone jar and place this in a bottle with cold water to nearly the depth of the jar. With a woven spoon crush lightly when they begin to cook, at the same time pour the grapes from the top of the jar toward the bottom. Cook about two hours or until the grapes are all softened. Then pour into a large bag to drain. Do not press or squeeze or the juice will be cloudy. Have ready perfectly clean and well sterilized bottles with the patent china or metal tops. If you do not have these, be sure your corks are new, soaking them first in cold water so they can be pressed in tightly. Reheat the juice to the boiling point, cook steadily half an hour, removing the scum as it rises to the surface. Turn into the hot bottles and seal air-tight. Canned Grape Juice With Sugar—Put the grapes, washed and sorted, into a preserving kettle and add a little cold water, but not enough to cover. Cook slowly until the skins break, mashing and stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon. When softened and at the boiling point, pour into a new coarse jelly bag to drain. Measure the juice and to each quart allow a quarter-pound granulated sugar. Boll again four minutes, turn into hot sterilized bottles and seal while hot. Raisine-To make this famous French marmalade allow an equal weight of grapes, cook in a little water until soft, then press through a colander to remove the seeds. Add the pears, cored and elicced, and simmer until thick, stirring almost constantly. When thick, sweeten to taste, scald, strain through a colander and can. Grape Relish.—Pick from the stems seven pounds of grapes, rather under ripe, and put the skins in a preserving kettle over the fire with just enough water to prevent their burning. Place the pulp in another kettle and cook until the seeds loosen. Press through a sieve and add to the skins with a half pint of vinegar, three pounds of sugar and a teaspoonful each cloyes, allspice and cinnamon. Boll until thick. This is fine to serve with game or roast meats. Macaroon Dessert. A delicious sweet to offer at lunchoon is made of whipped cream and macaroons. Use the rich cream that is of the proper consistency to whip well. Sweeten and whip until stiff. Get macaroons that have been kept about two days and roll them until they are crumbled finely, but not powdered. Stir enough of them with the whipped cream to give it a delicate brown color. This should be served heaped in dainty cups, as, while it makes a most delectable compound, it is altogether too rich to be taken in any but the most moderate quantiles. Mud Spots. Mud spots may be removed from white or washable material by laundering. Black or dark cloth, however, may be freshened by being rubbed with a raw potato cut in halves (another remedy that is sure to be at hand), first, however, removing as much of the mud as possible with a brush; the potato is to remove the stain left by the mud, and not the mud itself. Machine oil marks on dalnty white or colored goods should be dipped in benzine. Snow Pudding. Soak one-fourth box of gelatine in one-fourth cup of cold water until soft, then add one-half cup boiling water, one cup sugar, juice of two lemons, whites of three eggs beaten stiff. Set in cold place to harden and when ready to serve pour around it the following sauce, also cold. Yolks of three eggs beaten until light, three teaspoonfuls of sugar, one-half spoonful salt, one pint hot milk, one-half teaspoonful vanilla. Cook together until slightly thickened—about five minutes. Cooking Cocoa. According to a cooking school theory cocoa is never done until it has cooked long enough to coat the spoon. It is boiled, of course, in water, the scalding milk being added just before serving. It is said the cocoa should boll from half an hour to an hour. Persons who have found cocoa indigestible often find it harmless when it is thoroughly cooked. Undercooking is said to be the trouble when it proves indigestible. Lyonnaise Potatoes. One tablespoonful of butter, one onion chopped fine, 12 cold potatoes cut into dice; parsley, salt and pepper. To the butter and onions add the potatoes and stir quickly over the open flame for five minutes, taking care that they do not stick to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, add chopped parsley. Serve while hot. Vanilla Cream Cookies. Cream together one cupful of butter and one and one-half cupfuls of fine granulated sugar; add one beaten egg, one-half cutful of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of baking powder, and just enough flour to rich without sticking flavor which vanilla. Cut into fancy sift with g aulated Care in Preparation of Contents Is Well Worth While. If the child goes to school so far from home that a basket lunch is necessary no less care should be taken in preparing this makeshift for a meal. It should be put up daintily, the various kinds of food being neatly wrapped in oiled paper. To send a child to school with a lunch composed of "any old thing," arranged in a haphazard manner is to invite all kinds of illis to take possession of the little stomach. The first thing, of course, is to be sure that the lunchbox or basket is absolutely clean. Then cut several pieces of oiled paper. In one you may put a number of small sandwiches. Thinly sliced whole-wheat bread, with some sensible filling makes the best sandwiches, but there should be enough of them to assauge the cravings of hunger. In another packet place some tasty sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any cake that is not too rich and that has only a plain iceing will answer the purpose nicely. Fruit, too, should be added, with some crisp cookies or ginger wafers, but do not be tempted to insert any candy unless you chance to have a supply of absolutely pure maple sugar. TO PAPER A PAINTED WALL. Homemade Solution Will Completely Remove the Paint. Occasionally a housekeeper wants to paper a room that has previously had the walls painted. This is not easily done, nor one that is by any means cheap, if men must be hired by the day or hour to do it. Any enterprising woman who is willing to take the time and trouble can get the paint off herself. Mix in a bucket of hot water enough potash to make a strong solution, and scrub the walls with a stiff brush dipped in it. Wash off in cold water and finish with dry flannel. If the paint is very old it should be covered with a wash of three parts quicklime, slaked in water to which has been added one part of potash. Allow this coating to remain on over night and the paint may be easily scraped off. Peach Preserves. Pare peaches and add to every pound of fruit a pound and a quarter of granulated sugar. Put in a kettle and boll five minutes. Turn out in a large bowl, cover with a thin cloth, put in sun and stir every day until perfectly transparent. Put in jars and cover with thick paper. Pickled peaches—Ten pounds of peaches pared. five pounds sugar, one quart vinegar, mace, cinnamon, and cloves to tastet. Lay the peaches in the sugar for one hour, drain off the sirup and put on the fire; add one cup of water. Boll until scum ceases to rise, skim, put the peaches in and boll five minutes. Take out the peaches and spread upon dishes to cool. Add vinegar and spices to the sirup, boll 15 minutes longer and then put in the peaches again and when they come to a boll can them Mustard Pickles Take an equal quantity of small cucumbers, green tomatoes, sliced cauliflower, picked up small, small button onlons. Mix together and cover with strongly salted water, a pint of coarse salt to six quarts boiling water, boiled, skimmed and cooled before using. After 24 hours, scald the brine and dissolve in it all album size of nutmeg. When cold, drain very thoroughly, prepare enough vinegar to cover. To one quart of vinegar add one cupful brown sugar, one-half cupful flour, one fourth pound ground mustard. Boil sugar and vinegar, mix flour and mustard, stir boiling vinegar into it, when smooth pour over pickles. Put small piece of horse radish in bottle to keep from molding. Melted paraffin may be poured over the top. Green Corn. Country Style. Material—eight ears of corn, one tablespoonful salt, two quarts cold water, two tablespoonful sugar, melted butter, pepper, salt. Way of Preparing—Husk, the corn and remove all silk, leaving one layer of husk next to the keenels. Put cold water in a deep kettle, put in your corn, bring to the boiling point and boll ten minutes. Add the salt and sugar and boll six minutes longer. More-than this will cause the corn to lose its sweetness. Heap the corn on a platter, serve to each person one ear, accompanied by a small sauceboat of melted butter, pepper and salt. Nut 'Brown Bread. Recently a recipe was given me for a most delicious and easily prepared brown bread. Mix together three-quarters cup each of white flour and graham with one teaspoon of baking powder and one-eighth of a teaspoon of salt. Then add one-quarter cup each of molasses and chopped English walnut meats. Mix to a batter with milk—it will require about three-quarters of a cup—and bake in a moderate oven. The nut meats add an indescribable richness of flavor.—Good Housekeeping. Red Vegetable Salad. One cupful of cold boiled potatoes, chopped; one cupful of pickled beets, cut fine; one cupful of uncooked red cabbage, chopped fine. Add three tablespoonfuls of oil, four tablespoonfuls of vinegar in which the beets have been pickled, one-half a teaspoonful of salt, half as much pepper. Mix together lightly, let stand no hour in a cool place and serve. LUNCH AND SUPPER SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM A NEW YORK EXPERT.

New dishes for luncheon or good suggest; a for chafing dish suppers never to miss even with the house-vie ware dishes he self on the variety as well as the excellence of her menus, says a writer in the New York Herald. Try some of the following and see if you do not agree with me that they are worthy of consideration: Oyster Custard.—Take a round loaf of bread, remove the crust with a sharp knife, cut the inside, leaving a wall about half an inch thick. Brush over with melted butter and brown evenly in a moderate oven. Take the inside bread which has been removed and crumb it. Put a heaping tablespoonful of butter in the fry pan and fry crumbs until they are a golden brown. Cook a quart of oysters in their own liquor to the point of separation, skim the oysters out and set the liquor aside. Put in a saucepan a heaping tablespoonful of butter, a half teaspoonful of grated onion and a teaspoonful of fierly minced parsley; allow this to cook a few minutes, before rubbing in two heaping tablespoonfuls of flour; turn into this a pint and a half of cream—rich milk can be made to do—and your oyster liquor. Allow this to boil up and thicken; season with salt, cayenne pepper and a little good sherry. Now take your prepared crust and place in the bottom a layer of oysters, then a layer of the fried crumbs, pour over this a part of the sauce, and repeat, oysters, crumbs and sauce, until the crust is filled. Sprinkle the top with crumbs and set in a hot oven only long enough to heat thoroughly. Serve immediately. Sweetbreads and Oysters in Shells.—Take three or four sweetbreads which have been prepared and cooked, cut into dice, season with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Have ready three dozen oysters cooked to the point of separation, a small teacup of button mushrooms, cooked, and one dozen olives, pared in one piece close to the kernel. Put a quarter of a pound of butter in a saucepan, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, stir rapidly and add enough stock to make a sauce of creamy consistency. Into this turn the sweetbreads, olives, mushrooms and last of all the oysters. Heat, but do not boil. Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper and a dessert spoonful of tarragon vinegar. Serve in shells of puff paste or in the little cases made over a hot iron. Mock Tertapin—One pound of calf's liver, cooked one cup of cream, one-half cup of beef stock, two ounces butter, one half cup of sherry, two hard-bolled eggs, chopped fine; one tablespoonful of cornstarch. Cut liver into small thin pieces. Put into a saucepan the stock, cream and the cornstarch and butter well rubbed together; when thick, add the liver and stir for ten minutes. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper, add sherry and eggs and serve hot. Have you ever tried oysters and bacon in your chating dish? If not, I think you will like them. Have your bacon cut as thin as a wafer, or, better yet, buy it already cut, in tins. Place six or eight strips of this in the chating dish and cook to a delicate crisp, remove, and drop into the fat a dozen or so plump oysters. Cook until they separate well. Serve with the bacon on hot toast, with a dash of lemon juice and paprika. Apple Johnny Cake Grease deep plepan around the edges, fill with nice cooking apples sliced thin, bits of butter and sprinkle with sugar, a little clnamon and a little cloves: mix into one cup of milk sufficient flour (slited with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt) to make stiff batter; spread over apples, bake and serve with cream. Serve with apples side up. Grape Pudding—Pick and wash your grapes; put a layer of grapes in pudding dish, then a layer of sugar and a layer of grapes till half full; then make a pancake batter of two eggs, a cup of flour and pour over grapes (I forgot to add a teaspoonful of baking powder): bake half an hour; serve with sugar and cream. Marshmallow Cun. Dissolve over hot water a half pound of very fresh marshmallows. Add half a cup of water and cook until it spins a thread. Beat the white of one egg until stiff and pour the boiling marshmallows over this Cook it all until cold and smooth. Now add gradually, while beating constantly, half a cupful of red currant juice, a cupful of ripe red raspberries, half a small peeled cucumber cut into dice, the juice of one orange and a pint and a half of chilled mineral water. Put in a puch bowl with fresh berries, and Maraschino cherries. Fish Cutlets. Scald a cup of milk. Rub together three tablespoonfuls of butter and three of flour, and add to the milk. Stir and cook until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the yolk of an egg, one tablespoonful chopped parsley, ten drops of onion juice, a little grated nutmeg, two cups of cold boiled flaked fish and palatable seasoning of salt and cayenne. Turn out to cool and when cold form into cutlet shapes, dip in beaten egg, then in crumbs and fry in deep hot fat. Serve with cream or tomato sauce. F-737 DIAMONDS Put Your Money in Diamonds.

Nominated for Mayor by Republicans of Cleveland, O. Cleveland.—Congressman Theodore E. Burton, who has been nominated by Cleveland Republicans to oppose Tom Johnson for mayor, is a "scholar in politics." Speaker Cannon has said he is "the ablest man in congress." Mr. Burton is an authority on law and finance. His work as chairman of the rivers and harbors committee has made him a national figure. It is said he can give the source and course of every creek in the United States. He is 55 years old and was born in Ohio, where he was graduated from Oberlin. He has served six terms in congress. Cleveland is regarded as a normally Republican city by from 7,000 to 10,000 majority in national elections, and up [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit and bow tie]. THEODORE E. BURTON.

In the last two campaigns made Johnson succeeded in increasing the plurality which he gained in his first election, six years ago, and in his last race, two years ago, he piled up a plurality of nearly 12,000. The county as well as the city administrator has, as a result of the Johnson leadership, become nearly solidly Democratic. CELEBRATED-BERNE TIMEPIECE. Historic Clock an American Millionaire Wished to Buy. London.—A story comes from Berne to the effect that a "Chicago millionaire," name not given, has been trying hard to purchase the celebrated clock in the Zeltglockenturm in that city. It is asserted that he made one offer after another, each time raising the price, but that he was at last convinced that there was something in Switzerland which money could not buy. The clock announces the hours by the crowing of a cock, and two minutes before each hour a number of bears walk around the sitting figure. Unlike many of the curious and elaborate clocks in existence, the Berne timepiece is also notable for its artistic workmanship. The Swiss newspapers were exceedingly indignant at the idea of the Clock Wanted by American Millionaire. clock going to America and said some unpleasant things about the habit of rich Americans of trying to purchase everything that takes their fancy. Descoveries far beyond expectation have resulted from the work of an expedition sent out by the German kalser to explore the region round about the town of Turfan in Chinese Turkestan. Dr. A. von Le Cog was given charge of the enterprise, and the results of his excavations, sent home in 200 large cases, are believed to be more important than any others in central Asia for many years: There are manuscripts in at least ten languages—Nagari, Brami, Chinese, Tibetan, Tangut, Syriac, Manicharean, Nighur, Turkish and one unknown tongue—which will attract the attention of ethnologists throughout the world. There are also paintings on hardened mud, plaster and wood, with a background of gold leaf similar to that so often employed in early Italian art. Most of the paintings represent Buddha and scenes in his life. The mystery which at present puzzles students of history is the unknown reason for the strange commingling of races at Turfan, but the answer may be supplied when the manuscripts are decliphered.

SONS OF PRESIDENTS BOME WHO HAVE CHANCE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. Thus Far Only One Man, John Quincy Adams, Has Succeeded In Following His Father Into Executive Chair. Washington.—Sons of former presidents of the United States are not to be discounted as factors in public affairs. The boys of President Roosevelt and President Cleveland are still too young to be reckoned with, and McKinley had none, but those wearing the name of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield are holding prominent places in public life, and it is by no means an impossibility that one of them may yet go to the White House. There is a precedent. John Quincy Adams made a greater president than his distinguished father, John Adams. Harrison, father and son, did not succeed each other, but Benjamin Harrison was grandson of William Henry Harrison, so that it will be seen that relationship is by no means a bar to a man's ambitions. The case of the Grants at once suggests itself. There are two of them now holding high places in public esteem, and one of them, Frederick Dent Grant, has followed the calling of his father, and is a soldier. The other, Jesse Grant, who has spent most of his years in California, was not quite so well known until recently a number of boomers suggested him as available material for the Democratic nomination to the presidency. Then folks began to sit up and take notice and ask questions about Jesse Grant. They found out that Jesse was the third son of Lee's conqueror, that, having retired from business, in which he acquired liberally of wealth, he is now settled down in New York. Perhaps the strongest plank in Mr. Grant's platform is opposition to Mr. Jesse Grant Roosevelt. He does not believe in the policies inaugurated by the strenuous man from Sagamore Hill. He does not think that a trust is necessarily pernicious, he favors a restriction of immigration, and he deplores the elaborate ceremonials that are now deemed essential to White House hospitality. Though he is much younger, Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, youngest son of the martyred president, perhaps stands a better chance of some day going to the seat his father occupied than any other president's son. His career has been of the kind that invites expectation. He was a boy around the White House, he went to school at Hentor, studied law graduated, made himself an honorable record in the Ohio senate, and then came to Washington. It is a fact not generally remembered that James Rudolph Garfield was not Mr. Roosevelt's first choice for civil service commissioner. The place was originally offered to his brother Harry A. Garfield, leading Ohio attorney and man who gained fame because of the persistence with which he has opposed political corruption in the state. Harry declined the place, and it then went to James R. As soon as the latter got a foothold at the capitol, he made a quick impression and proved to President Roosevelt that he is the kind of man needed to aid in the administration's war on corporations. In a short time he had been advanced from the civil service department and made commissioner of corporations. It was in this post that he did his most notable work, and as a reward he was finally taken to the official family of the president as secretary of the interior. Here Mr. Garfield gained his spurs by addressing himself to the task of dealing with the land thieves. President Roosevelt was much delighted with the vigor the son of Ohio's first martyred President put in his work, and Mr. Garfield is now one of the president's closest advisers. In his intimacy with Mr. Roosevelt he enjoys one great advantage that Senator Lodge is perhaps the only man who shares. He is a great reader, and his tastes for books is the admiration of the president, also a man of letters. No matter how great the stress of official business, the young secretary can always find time to read, and his knowledge of a wide range of topics makes him especially valuable at the cabinet conferences. Though his face is bright, smiling and full of life, Mr. Garfield is really a serious man. He works hard and incessantly, and he compels employees in the department to follow his example. WOMAN DISCOVERS "SOUL KISS." Vesta La Viesta Declares It a "Dellrium of Ecstasy." New York.—Vesta La Viesta, mystic and cosmologist, after two years of silence, has emerged to unfold to us the wonders of the soul kiss. No such rapture is known to humans in the present state of knowledge, she says. Asked what it was like, she answered that when you have been properly developed and try on the soul kiss, your whole being responds to a perfect dellrium of ecstasy. It is like the fusing of two great forces when M. VESTA LA VIESTA. (Mystic and Cosmologist Who Has Discovered the Soul Kiss.) responsive souls meet in this exercise. It may last for hours, but whatever the length of it you do not breathe except cellularly. What's that? Why, breathing through the pores of the skin, of course. Education makes it possible. Indian mystics speak of various ways of breathing, but they do not know of the cellular. Another strange feature of the soul kiss is that it is wireless. When you have learned it you can send one to your affinity through mountains and over seas. The trouble with most people is that the solar plexus is not aroused, and for that reason they are unable to enter the higher spheres. La Viesta's mission, in addition to teaching the occult, is to develop the solar plexus much as the mind is improved. La Viesta has made a tour of the planets and in mingling with the inhabitants made many interesting discoveries. Nothing beats the soul kiss, which she was taught by her affinity on the planet Neptune. DIVING SUIT OF THICK IRON. Though It Weighs 540 Pounds, the Diver Feets Light and Alry In It. Brooklyn.—At Eaton's Point, L. L, the other day, O. E. Gandy made a plunge into the sound incased in a diving suit of a new pattern, reaching a depth of 230 feet. As a result of the experiment an expedition is to be sent within a few weeks to Venezuela to get the $3,000,000 in gold and jewels aboard the ill-starred San Pedro de Alcantara. This ship, which sank in 1815, still lies in the harbor of Cumana. The plunge was made from a scow about six miles off Eaton Point. At the greatest depth the diver conversed with persons above by means of a T Diver Gandy in His Suit. telephone, told how light and alry he felt in his 540- pound suit, and jokingly added that he was so comfortably cool that he would like to remain down the rest of the summer. At the top is shown a section of the chain by which the daring diver is lowered to the floor of the ocean. The costume in which the diver performed this astounding feat consisted of thick iron, of the strength of a locomotive boiler. Unlike the ordinary diving costume, however, it was built to withstand the tremendous pressure of the water of its own strength, instead of relying upon air pressure from pumps. Enos B. Petrie is the inventor of the diving suit. Character throws out its threads of usefulness everywhere, in standing for sentiment, in defending principle and in working for the good of the whole as well as for the individual aspirations. ORIGIN OF SWASTIKA BAUBLE OF SUMMER GIRL WORSHIPED BY PRIMITIVE MAN. When She Sticks Ornament in Her Shirt Waist She Should Know That It Is One of the Great Religious Symbols of the World. Boston.—The swastika is just now having remarkable vogue as an ornament for woman's dress. As brooch, belt buckle, stick pin, collar fastener, or hat pin, this upright cross, with each of its four arms bent to a right angle at the end, meets everywhere the eye. Nearly every woman who buys one knows that it is in some sense a "good luck pin," but how it came to be considered such and where the peculiar and curiously attractive symbol originated not so many know. What is the swastika? It is one of the great religious symbols of the world. It has been recognized as a religious emblem by more people, very likely, than has the cross itself. As such symbol it is very many hundreds of years older than the Christian era; in fact, it is, perhaps, the very earliest of religious signs or characters. It has been revered all over Europe and Asia, and long before the dawn of Christianity our pagan ancestors looked up to it, as the emblem of what they worshiped. It is one of the oldest things in history, and there is scarcely a land in whose ruined temples it is not found. "Suastika," the name given it by the Brahmins and Buddhists of India, is a Sanscrit word signifying "of good fortune." In the Pall tongue it is "sutl," which means "It is well," or "so be it," which is much the same meaning as the Sanscrit word. The Japanese call it "manjl" and the Chinese know it as "ouan" or "wan." The French call it "le croix pattee," the footed cross, while the ancient English name is "fylot," meaning either four-footed or many-footed. The most puzzling and most interesting thing about the swastika is that it is found in nearly all parts of the world, in this country as well as in The Swastika on an Ancient Chinese Painting. Europe and Asia, wherever archaeologists digs up the buried cities of the remote past. Drawn, painted, cut, woven, scratched or otherwise designed, not only upon burial urn and sacrificial stone, but also upon utensils and objects of everyday use, the curious symbol appears. It has been found among relics that mark the bronze age in Europe, and some antiquarians believe they have discovered the fact of its existence in the so-called polished stone age of man. Prof. Schllemann found it at Hisarilik in the buried cities that underlay the ancient Troy, of which Homer sang, which indicates its existence at a period from 3,000 to 3,500 years ago. By those who look upon the region to the northwest of India as the primal home of the blonde races of the world, that ancient land is also looked upon as the birthplace of the swastika. R. P. Greg, an eminent English authority, argues that "it was a much-used and favorite religious symbol among the earlier Aryan races, and was intended by them in the first instance, to represent in a cruciform form an ideograph or symbol suggested by the forked lightning." Our primal white forbears worshiped Dyaasoltar (Jupiter), the sky father, and the jagged lightning was the natural emblem of this awful power. So with the successive emigrations of the Aryans from northern India all over Europe, the swastika spread and, adopted as a symbol of Buddha in the seventh century before Christ, it was later carried into China and Japan. The Arabs and Jews knew it not, nor did the ancient Egyptians, but they were not of Aryan blood. Thus the hammer of Thor, the Scandinavian deltoy for whom Thursday is named, was this very same swastika which the malden of to-day is using to ornament a summer shirt waist. It was with his mighty hammer, Mollner, that Thor is fabled to have crushed the head of the Midgard serpent, destroyed the giants, restored to life the dead goats which drew his car, and consecrated the pyre of Baldur the beautiful. Jays Whipped Cat Birds defend their young to their uttermost abilities and often yield up their lives in unequal combat with the ravagers of their nests. One summer Dr. Welr saw two jays whip in a fair fight a large cat, which had attempted to rob their nest. They seemed to have arranged the order of *ombat* with one another before they attacked the would-be ravisher of their homes. The father concentrated his attack on the cat's head, while the other went at its back with claw and beak. DO YOU WIGGLE WOGGLE! Latest Amusement That Is All the Rage Down East. Chicago.—It has arrived. It is the wiggle-woggle. Do you wiggle-woggle? If not, why not? You've got just as much right to wiggle-woggle as anybody else. People who have wiggle-woggled say it's the best fun in the world. It's the fad down east. Everybody wiggle-woggles around down there. The wiggle-woggle in principle is a three-cornered piece of wood with a castor leg under each corner and a steering rudder in front. By standing on the stool with a foot on each of the two corners farthest from the rudder ```markdown ``` The Wiggle Woggle Looks Like a Turtle. and by jiggling, or, rather wiggling, the body so as to give motion to the feet, the stool will move along quite rapidly. By means of ropes fastened to the steering gear the stool may be made to travel in any direction required. This stool, painted to look like a turtle, is the wiggle-woggle. The man who invented it is said not to have thought much of his discovery. He could travel faster on a street car or on a bicycle. So he left his wiggle-woggle neglected in the back yard. Then his wife tried the queer contraption. She was a very stout person, and anything that looked like it was good for a ride she was willing to try. The lady was delighted. She discovered that the too, too solid flesh melted off perceptibly while she gave that sinuous swaying motion that induced the machine to go. She was so charmed with the machine that she induced her daughter to try it. Daughter demurred for some time, for she was so thin she had to stand three times in one place to make a shadow. She shuddered to think what would become of her if she began riding the wiggle-woggle. Strange to say, the wiggle-woggle that had made her mother so sylph-like gave daughter a shape like Juno. The wiggle-woggle had brought into play and development the very muscles needed to fill out the figure. The constant movement of the hip and waist, which is necessary to make the machine move, is one of the best known means of reducing the waist line. But scrawny persons are just as enthusiastic about the wiggle-woggle as are stout people. It builds them out and makes them so proud just to promenade up and down the beach in a bathing suit that they don't go near the water. VETERANS HONOR MISSOURIAN. C. G. Burton, New National Commander of G. A. R. Nevada, Mo.—Charles G. Burton, who has been elected commander of A. (Recently Elected Commander of the National G. A. R.) the National G. A.
