VOL.27 NO.21 OUR BOYS OUR BOYS INDUSTRIAL HOME FOR BOYS. Created in the daily press, temporary officers of the campaign committee National Training and Industrial have been opened at 1742 14th east northwest, with Mrs. Anne J. Cooper in charge. It is proposed to wish this Institute in the District Columbia, for the instruction of solos boys and girls, living in the District or elsewhere, and much encouragement has already been received from many of the most influential people of Washington. A pamphlet has been issued which gives a full account of the plans and scope of the work and the promoter, Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, desires that they be used in the campaign which is now on for the raising of $50,000 with which to begin building operations. There will be at least ten organizers assigned to as many different parts of the city for the purpose of getting the cooperation of the people of Washington and vicinity and making known to the people everywhere the aims and ideas of the promoter and his advisory board. Mr. Charles R. Douglas is chairman of the campaign committee on the part of the men. Mr. Henry Lasister is vice chairman, with Miss Mattie R. Bowen vice chairman. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is field secretary. Dr. William H. Davis, the executive secretary of the campaign committee, is assisted by Miss Cora J. Hawkins. The name of the various organizers will be given in a future announcement. Arrangements have been completed for the holding of a big mass meeting in the interest of the school, Sunday afternoon, October 20, at 3 o'clock, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th northwest, of which Dr. M. W. D. Norman is pastor. Gen. John B. Henderson, ex-Senator of the State of Missouri, who subscribed the first thousand dollars toward the establishment of this school, has accepted the invitation to preside at this meeting. Justice David J. Brewer, Dr. William E. Chancellor, Mr. John Joy Edson and others will be present and make a few remarks. Rabbi Abram Simon will be the speaker of the afternoon. Music will be rendered by Professor Layton's Junior Choir. The advisory board, working with the Rev. Mr. Lamkins in the interest of the school, is composed of H. B. F. Macfarland, chairman; Gen. John B. Henderson, John Joy Edson, Dr. William E. Chancellor, Dr. Charles W. Needham and Rabbi Abram Simon. A large attendance at this meeting is practically assured and we hope in this way to show our appreciation of all efforts made in our behalf. HENRY PLUMMER CHEATAM. "Men who attain to real leadership and those who lift as they climb; broad in mental resource, generous, and strong in manly impulse, they forget themselves and become the embodiment of principles that make genuin progress and win the hearts of their comrades by the compelling force of character and personal magnetism, promoting the wellbeing of a race, multiplying the happiness of the individual, the captains of moral thought practically accept the duty marked out by the Great Teacher" and "cause two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before." Such a man as pictured above is Henry Plummer Cheatham, one of the most successful forces in public life of the twentieth century Negro. His career is A. B. one visited by success because he has richly deserved it. Mr. Cheatham was born in Henderson, N. C., in 1858. He was educated in the public schools of his county and at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., with honors, holding the degrees of A.B., A.M., and LL.D. He studied law at Howard University. He was from beginning a promising lad, and with prophetic spirit laid deep the foundation upon which a brilliant character was to be built. His first public office was that of principal of the State Normal School at Plymouth, N. C., during which time he was elected Register of Deeds of Vance County, his native county. So conspicuous was his work and so worthily did he impress himself Cheatham was nominated and elected to the Fifty-first Congress, and was again chosen to sit in the Fifty-second Congress. When President MciKnley reached the White House, one of his earliest appointments was that of Mr. Cheatham to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, a post at that time which was regarded as carrying the insignia of leadership in the political councils of the race. That he performed all of these duties capably, zealously and honestly goes without saying. Mr. Cheatham is a positive race man. always ready to serve his people, and has always been active. He has been instrumental in enrolling more Afro-Americans upon the governmental roster than any other Negro living. Notwithstanding the great expense Mr. Cheatham was forced to encounter when he was in politics, he saved enough of his earnings to be in comfortable circumstances, owning valuable farms in Halifax, Warren and Vance counties, and a valuable and convenient residence in the beautiful little city of Littleton, N.C. He owns one of the best homes there, in the heart of the city, and he and his family enjoy the friendship of their neighbors, although of the opposite race The Bee will state, when he was Recorder of Deeds no white man was in his office. He was the boss of the job. His only fault was that he endeavored to help everybody that needed help The people in his office appreciated him because he placed them all upon the same level, white and colored. His deputy, Colonel Schuyler, has no prejudices. He treated white and colored alike, and he never signed his name "Acting Deputy" in the absence of the Recorder; if he had, Mr. Cheatham would have dismissed him. If there were any rules to he made Mr. Cheatham would make them himself and not allow his deputy to promulgate them without his knowledge. He was boss of his office DOING GOOD WORK One of the best institutions in this city that is a help to humanity is the Training School of this distinguished lady, Mrs. L. R. Clark, 2000 Eleventh street northwest. This lady has the only boarding school in the city for young ladies. A representative of The Bee dropped into the busy institution Wednesday evening and was greeted by that most affable directress of the school, Mrs. Clark. There were eighteen young ladies from as many States being taught all kinds of trades. Some dressmaking, others millinery, and others domestic art. In this department The Bee found all kinds of preserves and other edibles of the most delicate character. Such viands that would make a full man hungry. Mrs. Clark is os very pleasant and so refined in her manner. She deserves the support of the people because she is doing something for young ladies from all over the country. A young lady is taught everything at this school. Thousands of dollars have been spent by Mrs. Clark to make the school what it is. Call and inspect for yourselves. Her day school is crowded. There are many young ladies from the South boarding at the school. Mrs. Clark has furnished teachers in domestic science to ten institutions in this country, which is an evidence of what she is doing for young ladies. A fuller account of this work will appear later. ITEMS ON THE WING. COLORED· DEPUTY APPOINTED Justice Ashby M. Gould, who has always been sound on the Negro question, has never lost an opportunity to see that some worthy colored Republican from his State is recognized. Judge Gould is the only judge that has ever allowed a colored crier in his court. Mr. W. H. Corner, formerly a messenger in the Register of Wills office, subsequently a messenger in the court to Judge Gould, and latterly appointed temporarily deputy marshal, and lastly, a few days ago, appointed permanently Depty United States Marshal. Mr. Conn was not only indorsed by Judge Gould and his appointment personally requested and urged, but every colored member of the bar respectfully requested the United States Marshal, Mr. Palmer, to appoint Mr. Conn. Mr. Conn is well educated, and a very gentlemanly young man, who has filled every position with credit that he has ever occupied. He has been assigned to Justice Terrell's district. All marshals are placed upon the same footing. He has received many congratulation from his friends. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 19, 1907. M. H. SENATOR J B. FORAKER, THE NATION'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. EVERY LOYAL AMERICAN WILL UPHOLD HIS HANDS. LET TRAITORS TO THE COLORED RACE DIE. I have often heard it stated that Mr. George F. T. Cook, formerly superintendent of schools (colored) would make an ideal officer. Of course, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell could not boss Mr. Cook. He would run the colored schools to perfection. The Republicans of the District of Columbia will hold their first rally this month. There will be a thorough reorganization of the Republican party in the District. Some of the speakers are representative Republicans. Mr. Elmer Davis, the secretary of the National Committee, is a busy man now. If the Superintendent of Schools would remove one or two of the colored supervisors and appoint new blood, conditions would be improved. The Misses Patterson were victims of prejudice and spite. I believe that this wrong will be righted. The coming Republican fight in the District of Columbia will be a hot one. SENATOR J B. FORAKER, THE NATIONAL EVERY LOYAL AMERICAN WILL TRAITORS TO THE I favor a delegated convention; then there would not be so much fraud. There will be one white and one colored delegate. I would suggest to the present Justice of the Peace, Mr. Robert H. Terrell, to resign. It will be to his interest. Mr. Williams, who passed the examination as supervising principal, has declined the position. I knew this some time ago, but I did not think it wise to state it. The next man in order will no doubt be appointed. No one will weep if Mrs.Mary Church Terrell remains away from the city. Her absence would be appreciated by the people. Rounder.

He will represent the Christ's College of Baltimore, Md., to confer the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon the two latter ministers. READ THE BEE SENATOR FORAKER A United States Senator, who is still on the list of friends of the colored people, said, in a recent interview, that "if the colored voter had any sort of manhood, political sagacity or appreciation of stalwart friendship, now is the time and opportunity to demonstrate it." With this view The Bee entirely agrees. The above remark was made in reference to the contest now waging in Ohio between the cohorts of Roosevelt and the friends of Foraker. On the one side all of the moral and substantial influences of the administration are marshaled to strengthen the presidential candidacy of Secretary Taft, while, on the other hand, a strong lineup is being made by the legion of loyal friends of Senator Foraker, both white and colored. The initial move in the game is that of having Mr. Burton nominated for mayor of the city of Cleveland against Tom Johnson, the present Democratic incumbent. Great interest is being taken in this contest, not so much on account of the local im- TION'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. ALL UPHOLD HIS HANDS. LET COLORED RACE DIE. portance attached, but because a successful campaign against Tom Johnson, who is one of the most astute politicians, as well as the most popular Democrat, in Ohio, will in a large measure demonstrate an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Taft, whose forerunner Burton is. In view of the attitude of the President toward the colored people and the certainty that the election of Burton will mean the endorsement of Roosevelt's policies, the elevation of Taft and the probable humiliation, if not the defeat of Senator Foraker, the duty of the colored voter is plain. Senator Foraker has been the friend of the colored people for the past forty years, and even now, while the list of friends is growing less and less by reason of the propagandism of Southern hate, stimulated and encouraged by the Roosevelt administration, that model Republican and able exponent of Republican principles is now championing the cause of justice and Negro manhood and womanhood by a brilliant and successful defense of these not and devoted black soldiers, who serve their country so well, but who were ruthlessly dismantled by a pernicious and unjustifiable executive order. Taft, who is the President's me-too and willing instrument, who had the temerity to go South and seek to discredit negro manhood, pander to Southern race prejudice and justify disfranchisement, is, through Burton, asking the suffrages of the colored voters of Cleveland in order that Rooseveltism might be perpetuated and Foraker eliminated from politics. Such is the situation in Ohio. Burton's election means Taft's ascendency; his defeat will mean a justification of Foraker's attitude, both as statesman and friend. Burton has for years been favored with the solid vote of the colored people of Cleveland. This was because, personally, he was clean and because his ambition was confined to the lower house of Congress. Now that he has joined the enemies of the colored people and become their chief instrument, self-respect as well as the instinct of self-preservation dictate and demand that. Tom Johnson be permitted to rethat colored voters see to it, if possible, main mayor of Cleveland and Burton remain representative, as he now is. Already The Bee scents defeat for Burton in the unfriendly attitude of some of the leading colored people of Cleveland, for it is almost certain that if the bulk of the colored voters oppose him, his defeat is assured. The Bee has no aspersions to cast upon any one, but we are for Foraker, have been for him, and will continue to be for him so long as he continues to stand by us. It is true, as the Senator has said, that now is the time to show how much pluck, self-respect and political independence the Cleveland colored voter possesses. The colored people all over the country are watching and praying and hoping that colored manhood may be vindicated in the defeat of Burton and a rebuke to Taft. Men, good and true and principles, high and broad, are what we desire and what we must contend for. NEGRO ITS BIG ISSUE MARYLAND'S PROBLEM, TO SKIN OR NOT TO SKIN? OR NOT TO SKIN? NATIVES FAVOR AFFIRMATIVE Republican Standard Bearer Seems to Have the Best Show Personally, but Democracy's Stand Against the Black Vote Is a Stronger Card — Good Breeding Is an Asset. (From the Herald.) Baltimore, October 7. Niggers skun disturb no more; Maryland, my Maryland. Peel the niggers to the core: the biggers to the cove, Maryland, my Maryland. Black Republicans amy roar, Let 'em holler till they're sore, We'll tan coonskins on our sm We'll tan coonskins on our smokehouse door; Maryland, my. Maryland. Maryland's Democracy, not wholly clear upon national enthusiasms, has an issue upon which it is sure of itself. In the lame and knotty transcription above, the war song of the Democratic hosts, not yet officially in the hands of the printer, is roughly set forth. If the verse form here adopted does not trace exactly the course of the campaign, it is within easy scenting distance of the trail along which the hunt will be directed. With other satisfying information concerning the preparations for war, it is told that nothing goes but pure principle, nothing of debate but reflections on constitutional truth, no personalities, no invective, no unpleasantness for candidate or orator. In a contest over ripping off the negro's hide, the gentleman or darker hue must, of course, take the fortune of war. White gentlemen, so they say, will be dainty, gentle and ceremonious toward each other. Senator Whyte declares that the campaign, must be one of mutual courtesy and compliment for the tickets and stately argument on the questions. Gov. Warfield likewise calls for hostilities fairly exhaling dignity and velvet-coated with urbanity. They mean it, because they thus spoke the minute the Republicans had treated their gubernatorial candidate, Judge Crothers, as one Pancks treated Casby in the Dickens story. Pancks, it will be recalled, rudely and suddenly, in view of the assembled populace, sheared off the venerable locks and the brim of the patriarchal hat, transforming his fatherly philanthropist into a cheap hypocrite. Judge Crothers is not changed to a cheap man or a hypocrite. The press has not discovered a crime or a serious shortcoming, but acute Democrats realize that the judge is no longer venerable or impressive; that he strength of his party, himself ranking as an ordinary courthouse politician and lawyer from fair to common in ability and ardor for reform. State's Condition Unique Now, this means something, for the supremacy of the leisure and educated classes is no joke in the State which,olitary in the Union, voted for a Whig candidate in Buchanan's year. Nobody says so for publication, but tidewater Marylanders like to think that their public men are gentlemen; by which term they mean, not the bare honesty of life and goodness of heart which pass in most sections, but established social rating, scruple of deed, polish of speech and distinction of manner. Gaither, Republican nominee, has Crothers at a disadvantage here, so that, after the Baltimore News had reduced Crothers to the normal human dimensions of a commonplace country lawyer of rather thick skin and an eye for sordid gain, it was worth while on the Democratic side to make it a party and not a personal fight. From a sanitary standpoint, the war will be as clean as the Dutch housewife's kitchen On the issue of white and black, the Democrats have a big start. They have their own party solidly, and half of the present generation of white Republicans may be counted as secretly with them; PARAGRAPHIC NEWS PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss Beatris L. Chase.

HINTS FOR HOSTESS INVITATIONS TO AND SERVING OF LUNCHEON. Correct Time is One or Half-Past For Late Breakfast. One Hour Earlier—Menu for Both is Much the Same. The invitations for a luncheon are sent out one or two weeks in advance, according to the formality of the affair. Invitations may be written in the third person, but the first person is preferred if the luncheon is to be formal. To an informal affair the guests may be invited verbally. The correct hour for a luncheon is one or half-past one o'clock. If this hour is inconvenient the hostess may invite her guests to a late breakfast, which differs little from a luncheon, except that the usual hour is 12 or half-past 12. The same menu is used for a breakfast as one would use at a luncheon with the exception of the soup. At a luncheon women should wear street or reception dress and should keep their hats on at a formal function, or unless requested by the hostess to remove them. The guests should enter the dining-room singly, never arm in arm, the women entering first and the men following, if any are present. The guests should not stay long after luncheon, as a busy hostess usually has another engagement to keep. Verbal invitations are not good form when written invitations are being issued. No exception is allowable. The most intimate friends and relatives receive the same invitations as any other guest. Mock Citron Preserves. Cut the rind of watermelon into small trips or cubes, remove the outer green rind. Make sufficient brine to cover, using a level tablespoonful of salt to each quart of cold water.

Make a syrup of three-quarters of a pound of sugar, half a cup of water to each pound of rind. Boll and skim and add a sliced lemon, a bit of green ginger and the rind. Cook until the melons look clear, about 25 minutes, then take from the syrup with a wire spoon and place in glass jars. Boll the syrup down until rich and thick and pour over the rind in the jars. A little vinegar and spices to taste may be added to the syrup before putting in the fruit, if you wish to spice the rind. English Hot Pot. Fry a chopped onion in two table ream in the star light.

Stew gently for one hour, then add three potatoes, a stalk of celery, a carrot and a turnip, all cut the same size as the beef, a bouquet of sweet herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Stew one hour more, then serve like soup in a tureen. More liquid may be added as it cooks away.—Good Housekeeping. Curried Sardines.

GROWTH OF THE TELEPHONE 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 existing number of large business in various cities, since the solute necessitates the building, making it possible to transact business as well from the treetleth story as from the ground floor. The installation of the telephone in every suite in the modern hotel and large apartment house accounts for a portion of the increase. SHAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUG Head of Family Undergoes Torman to Help Wife Get Carpet. Trenton, N. Y.—When the new ruler is laid in Grace Baptist church, about four yards of it will be consecrated to the fortitude of Henry Lonsdale. Every thread represents a whisker which Lonsdale submitted to a raven wielded by his wife. Mrs. Lonsdale is a member of the Ladies' Aid society, which planned to buy the church carpet on the self-delial plan. There is some difference on this point, the men asserting that Lonsdale showed himself 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 not on record how Lonsdale first received the proposition, but the fact that he consented to act the vixit is proof that his wife has the true religious spirit. For four months did Lonsdale through the shaving process. He is believed that a shave once a day was a necessity, but under the skill manipulation of his wife he discovered that he could get along on three shaves a week. Only once did Mrs Longdale ask "Does the razor hurt?" He did not swear; he did not groan, but the lot of anguish was epileptic.

Filled with Nuts They Make a Dainty Dessert—Baked and Served with Meat—Apple Croquettes Something New. Baked Apples.—A baked apple is the most easily digested of any way of serving apples, out there are baked apples and baked apples For variety's sake, try peeling them before baking Peel and core the apples carefully, fill the hollows with sugar and any spice preferred, lay in an enameled baking pan, pouring just enough water to cover the bottom, then bake in a moderate oven until tender and delicately crisped on the surface Sometimes a bit of butter is placed on top of each apple before putting in the oven. Meantime take the cores and peelings, cover with water and stew gently for an hour Strain, sweeten slightly, add a little nutmeg, cinnamon or lemon, and pour over the apples, cool in the pan in which the apples are baked, then serve cold with cream. Apples should never be baked in tin, which darkens both apples and juice. Fillings for Baked Apples.—As a variety is the spice of life, even in baked apples, here are a few good fillings that may be used from time to time. Nuts are specially nice for this. Any kind may be used, but pecans, black walnuts, hickory nuts or butternuts are perhaps best. For a dozen large apples, a cup and a half of the meats will be required. Chop fine and nut with sugar, allowing a dessertspoonful for each apple. Fill the cavities and bake in the usual way. A half banana sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice makes a good filling for an apple. Figs and dates steamed, chopped and rolled in sugar, chopped nuts with strips of lemon or orange peel, or honey and butter are all appropriate and usually approved. Baked Apples to Serve with Meat.—Wash and core tart apples, then fill with equal parts crumbs and mushrooms. Season with catsup or fine herbs as preferred. Put a bit of butter on top of each apple, add a little water to the baking pan and bake until tender. Fried Apples.—These are also excellent served with any form of pork. Select large, firm apples rather tart and wash without paring. Core, cut in slices half an inch thick, then brown in pork fat or butter, turning with a pancake turner, so as not to break. They should be tender but not broken. If preferred a trifle sweet, sprinkle sugar and clinnamon over the uncooked side just before turning. Fried Apples are especially nice with fried pork or sausage Apple Croquettes.—Put over the fire in a saucepan one cup stale bread crumbs and a half cup milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, then add one large apple chopped fine, and a dozen almonds, ground, the yolks of two eggs beaten with a tablespoonful lemon juice and the grated yellow rind of half a lemon. Cook until thickened, then turn out on a platter to cool. When quite cool form into croquettes; roll in fine crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat. Serve with caramel sauce, maple sugar or powdered sugar Indian Relish. Peel and chop one white cabbage and six white onions and arrange in layers in stone jar, covering each layer with salt. Stand for 24 hours, then rinse in cold water and drain in colander. Bring a pint of vinegar to the boiling point, with one-half pound of brown sugar, one-half teaspoon of alum, a heaping teaspoon each of turmeric, mace, black pepper, allspice and ground clinnamon and two teaspoons each of celery and mustard seed. Stir this spiced vinegar into cabbage and onion mixture, set aside over night. In the morning drain off the vinegar, heat to boiling point again and pour it over the pickle. Do this again on the next day, then set aside over night. Now turn the vegetables and vinegar into a kettle, boil hard for five minutes. Then set aside until cold and pack in jars. Fried Corn. Cut the corn carefully from six ears of nice sweet corn. Do not score, and be careful not to cut any of the cob with the corn, but have each grain separate. Put one tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan; put in the corn and fry nuttil a nice brown, stirring often. Draw the pan away from the hot fire, add half a cupful of hot cream and salt and pepper to taste. Serve at once in a hot dish. Nice for breakfast or lunch Buying Window Curtains. When buying window curtains always allow sufficient for a deep hem both top and bottom, one wide enough to take the lath. On the top hem sew a strip of tape, through which to put the nails or clips which secure the blind to the roller When soiled at the bottom blinds made in this way can easily be turned upside down and need to go to the cleaner's not nearly so often as if made in the ordinary way. Saving the Roller When the boiler is dried and ready to put away after the week's wash, set it on the stove, and while hot rub it all over the inside and around the seams with laundry soap. It prevents rusting, and the boiler will keep new and last very much longer. All the soap is not lost either, as it is dissolved in the water for the next week's wash—Harper's Bazar. Odds and Ends Can Be Turned to Good Account. Old balbriggan underwear and outing or wash flannel may be used for shop rags, but better still is the waste or woven mop cloth which can be bought at any furniture shop. Mopping floors is hard on clothes, and it says to buy something woven for the purpose. Old silk skirts and waists can be cut up and washed, for dusters. Nothing except perhaps chamois is better for a piano case than soft old silk. For taking finger marks and spots off a plann case use a chamois and cold water. Polish dry with chamois or old silk. Old silk is also good for dusting brie-a-brac. Old black stockings may be made into mitts with which to rub dust out of silk skirts. Put a mitt on either hand and rub the silk on both right and wrong side. These mitts do better work than any clothes brush made, especially if mud or clay is thickly encrusted in the silk. Do not employ old stockings for holders to be used around the stove unless you cover them with tickling Better even than stockings to fill hold ers is contion flannel or asbestos. The best dish rags are made from cheese cloth doubled and sewed with seams turned inside. Next to cheese cloth come old gauze shirts, sewed double. Elither of these fabrics is so porous that grease and grime wash out easily. Boll your rags in a washing powder and household ammonia. Do not let them get hopelessly and irremediably dirty. And have handy hooks and racks on which to hang them where air and sunlight will strike them TO PICKLE SMALL CUCUMBERS. Instructions That if Followed Will Give Best Results. Take a hundred small cucumbers, dry-picked and fresh from the vines wash the sand from them and wipe them dry Place them in a large stone jar or wooden vessel, put on top of them a pint of salt, a piece of alum size of small nutmeg and cover with boiling water. Cover with a close fitting lid or the several thicknesses of paraffin paper over the top and let stand 20 hours Take out the cucumbers, wipe them dry, place them in a clean jar in alternate layers, with following spices: Take one tablespoonful of mustard seed, one of all spice, a root of horseradish grated or cut in thin strips, a few small red, peppers and sufficient vinegar to fill the jars, which must be only two-thirds full of cucumbers When cold cover closely and they will keep for years Pour the vinegar over the pickles while boiling hot. Frozen Maple Sirup Souffle Frost maple Syrup Souce. One pint maple syrup, one cup of sugar, one half box of gelatine, one half cup of cold water, yolks of six eggs, one quart of cream. Mix the sugar and syrup together, cover the gelatine with cold water and soak one half hour; then add one pint of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Beat the yolks of the eggs and stir in the syrup and gelatine. Freeze. When about frozen stir in quickly the cream, which must be whipped stiff. Set aside, well packed in ice for two hours before serving. This is nice served in paper cups. There are innumerable designs for these dainty cups, and they look very pretty when served with a cherry in the center of each. Serve narrow slices of fingers of chocolate frosted cake with this souffle. Bran Gems. This recipe is for bran gems, and so delicious are they that anyone might find eating them a gastronomic pleasure, says a writer in the Housekeeper. A clean hygienic bran may now be obtained from any up-to-date grocer. The recipe calls for one egg, one tablespoonful of butter, one-half cupful of sugar, if liked sweet, one cupful milk, one cupful flour, two cupful bran, two teaspponfuls baking powder and a pinch of salt. Flake in gem pans in a hot oven. One-third of a cupful of currants may be added, if desired, and will be found extremely nice. Acorn Portiere. A new idea for the girl who has a taste for odd furnishings is a portiere made of acorns. If you wish to make one, gather quantities of acorns in different stages of ripening, from glossy brown to greens. In your leisure moments sort them into little piles, according to color, and string them as your, fancy dictates—different tones on one string or one shade to one string. The effect will be better if the larger nuts are at the top. When done, fasten them on a light rod or grille that fits your door. A Tasty Salad. As attractive and tasty a salad as has been seen for many a day was served at a luncheon recently. Greenages cut into halves and bananas in cubes had been covered with oil and powdered sugar and allowed to stand on the ice for a couple of hours. Whipped cream topped the salad when it was sent to the table. Poke Holes. Poke holes should always be frowned upon. They are unsightly, unhealthy and undeniably destroyers of the disposition as places warranted to hold what you want most in a hurry. Cultivate the habit of destroying everything not absolutely needed, and of putting everything that is carefully in its appointed place. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire-$1.00.

Alternate layers of boiled rice and raw tomatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle over each layer of tomatoes a little minced green pepper and tender young onion; also some previously stewed veal, chicken, or ham. Salt to taste. 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 liniment 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 Puddling. One pint boiling water, stir into this three tablespoons of cornstarch, mixed smooth with a little cold water, the juice of a lemon, piece of butter the size of a walnut and one beaten egg. It will thicken up nicely in three or four minutes. Then turn into mold. To be eaten with sugar and cream or rich milk. Mexican Alole. Two tablespoonfuls of blanched almonds, three tablespoonfuls of rice. Grind the almonds fine first, then the rice, then mix; add a cup of sweet milk and cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens. Add salt or sugar to taste and serve. Columbia Ice and Coal Co.

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 finely 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 All payments on Stock Accounts must be made to the order Beaureur Halsey, 6258 Halsey, Chicago, Illinois.

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 boll. 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 Terrapin.—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-boiled eggs, chopped fine; one table-spoonful 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 chafing 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 this. Place six or eight strips of this in the chafing 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. --- THE BEE PUBLISHED A2 1109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN. CHASE, EDITOR.

Al preparations have been made for the first Republican rally that will take place at Grand Army Hill. This will be a representative Republican gathering and the first that will be held in the District of Columbia. Evgry district will be represented and almost every Republican organization in the city of Washington. The names of the delegates will not be presented at this meeting, but a thorough reorganization of the Republican party in the District of Columbia and the appointment of a representative committee to wait upon the National Republican Committee to present the wishes of the Republican party as to how the delegates to the next National Convention shall be voted for. There should be representative delegations elected from the Capital of the Nation. There should be a man elected for National Committeeman to represent the District of Columbia who has some push and will have the ear of the Administration. If the proper man is nominated there is every reason to believe that he will be ected. The Republicans in this city believe in home rule. They want men appointed to office who believe in the true principles of the Republican party, irrespective of color or previous condition. Neither white nor colored Republicans in the District of Columbia have received fair treatment at the hands of the present Administration, and it is about time that we demand homic rule and elect home rule delegates to the next convention. In discussing the present form of government for the District of Columbia, Mr. Macfarland, president of the Board of District of Commissioners, says: THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT From the Patrician (St. Patrick's Church. Commissioner Macfarland, in a communication to the Washington Herald, discusses i nav ery satisfactory manner the question of the District government. He shows that while this Government is not elective, it is none the less representative, and that, being free from party politics, it is suitable to the National Capital. Indeed, its merits are so evident that many municipalities are copying it. As a matter of fact, no one but a few political agitators wants the city government changed. Manhood franchise is a privilege, not a right. Imagine the character of the population of the District, and think what a change would mean. A word to the wise. The concluding paragraph of Mr. Macfarland's letter is very suspicious. Read: "Imagine the character of the population of the District and think what a change would mean. A word to the wise." Does he mean to convey the same idea that ex-Commissioner White conveyed which caused President McKinley to remove him? What is the matter with this population? Certainly if the elective franchise was restored there could be limited --- or qualified suffrage, thus getting rid of the character of citizens that Mr. Macfarland has in mind. Every State in the Union, take New York for instance, has "undesirable citizens." As notorious as New York is, good men are elect-What does Mr. Macfarland think of the Southern States, where thousands of colored citizens are disfranchised because they are colored. These outrages are committed by men who are supposed to be honorable and upright, and the distinguished Commissioner is compelled to receive these men who come to him and give them official recognition. They demand from the Commissioner places. Are there any such men in this city to whom the Commissioner gives a hint of warning? The only objectionable citizens in Washington are the blacks, and to them Mr. Macfarland must be alluding. If he is not alluding to them, will heexplain to which class he is alluding. The Irish, Dutch, German, Italian and the Negro wish to know. He must be referring to one of the above-named races. Read what the man you succeeded said, Mr. Macfarland, and explain yourself at once. The colored people have been abused enough. er of the District of Columbia.) Let all colored people, Irish and Italians in the District of Columbia read Commissioner Wight's opinion of them as expressed by him in a printed public document entitled "Hearing conducted by the sub-committee, Messrs. W. W. Grout, H. H. Bingham, J. T. McClery, John M. Allen, and M. E. Benton, of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, in charge of the District of Columbia, Appropriations Bill for 1901, on the days following, namely, February 19 and 20, 1900." Mr. John B. Wight, Mr. John W. Ross, Captain Lansing H. Beach, Commissioners of the District of Columbia, appeared before the sub-committee. Mr. Benton—There may be a good many policemen, but is not the criminal class as successfully taken care of in Washington a in any other city of its size in the country? Major Sylvester.—I believe so; but when I answer that statement I want to invite your attention to what I stated to you the hours these men have. Mr. Benton.—I recollect what you said on that subject. You effect it, but you have to work your men more than you want to. Mr. Wight.—Perhaps I had better answer that, because it might be a little embarrassing to Major Sylvester. "I think it is remarkably to the credit of the Police Department with the small amount of men and the large amount of criminal classes— Mr. Benton (a member of the Committee).—I did not know that there was a very great amount. I know there is not a great deal of crime, comparatively. The Chairman of the Committee.—They are not the worst criminals. Mr. Wight—I say it with all kindness, but I state it as a fact, that the 90,000 colored people here are equal to the criminal conditions in any city. They regard life as of no value whatever. Mr. Chairman—But they are not safe crackers? Mr. Wight.—They are worse. Mr. Wight—And to handle these 90,000 colored people with the Irish and Italians and other classes that are here and in considerable numbers, speaks well, I think, for the police department, and I will defy any city in this country to show better handled prostitutes than is shown here. Mr. Wight is understood to be a candidate for reappointment in May next. Let all Irish, Dagoes and Negroes rally to his support, and if they do they will be all he tells Congress they are. BRUCE VS. DR. MOTON. Dr. William E. Chancellor has received from Roscoe Conkling Bruce a communication in which he attempts to show that, while Dr. Lucy Moton was a teacher at Tuskegee he had every opportunity to observe that she is not the proper person to be principal of Minor Normal School No. 2. The letter is too vile for publication. The Bee had fully intended to publish it, but after careful consideration it was thought best not to publish it at present. But The Bee will give a few of his reasons to Dr. Chancellor and the Board of Education: (1) "Mainly upon my experience," says he, "with her at Tus- kegee Summer School for Teachers, of which I was director, and she an instructor, but (2) also upon my contact with her last year in official visits to the practice schools in Minor Building and in various unofficial visits to her own recitations." He gives as another childish reason, of her alleged treatment of Professor Albert, of a State Normal School of Pennsylvania, she was "conspicuously uncharitable." Did you ever hear such silly reasons to give a Board of Education for the removal of a teacher? What has her alleged treatment of aPennsylvania professor to do with her ability to teach Normal School No. 2? He concludes his letter by being very merciful by recommending that she be separated from the public schools and establish a retirement fund for her benefit. He says that her case "clearly and pathetically illustrates the administrative economy and the humanity of a retirement fund." This is impudence personified. What is behind Bruce's recommendation? He sympathetically states that Dr. Moton is an old and intimate friend of his family. What rot! Doesn't Bruce know that his mother has no love for Dr. Moton, and never had? The former objection to Dr. Dr. Moton was an alleged partiality, but not her incompetency as a teacher. The Bee nor anyone else will not charge her with incompetency. She has never been guilty of that, and no fair-minded person will say that she is incompetent. Who gave this Tuskegee apostle his knowledge? Who made him so wise? The Bee will state that some of the best teachers in the public schools have graduated from Normal School No.2. The Bee would ask Dr. Chancellor if Bruce has sufficient ability to judge. This upstart who seems to be famous for letter-writing and abusing honorable people should be removed from the position of assistant superintendent of schools at once. The people will demand that they have a superintendent of their own choice, even should necessity compel them to go to Congress. The Bee has come to the conclusion that Dr. Lucy Moton should not be removed from Normal School No. 2 on the recommendation of Roscoe Conkling Bruce. OUR THANKS. The editor of The Bee tenders his thanks to the good citizens of Washington and in the States, especially the Boston Guardian, Editor Trotter,for their kind words of encouragement and condemnation of the cowardly attack made upon him. The editor of The Bee is everywhere prepared to meet the attack of the enemy that manufactured those infamous lies against him. This is the editor's home. He is known here, and there is no act in his life that will affect his honor and reputation. The coming investigation will show a most diabolical conspiracy to injure the editor by subterfuges and at the same time to settle a fancied wrong against one of the purest young ladies in this city. As a lawyer the editor of The Bee has nothing to hide. As an editor he has exposed wrong-doings and upheld the right. He has no favors to ask or apologies to offer. He is not controlled by the blandishments of official favors, power or influence. The schools of the District of Columbia should be managed by men in whom the people have confidence. The Board of Education is composed of men and women of the highest integrity, with an exception. The colored people demand that they be given control of their own schools. This sentiment is fostered by the East Washington Citizens' Association. The years of contention on the part of The Bee have been for the purity of the public school system. The elimination of the color line on the part of certain Negro officials. There has been a bastardy within and seemingly in control to eliminate teachers who had a black skin. This has been the fight against Prof. J. T. Layton, who successfully outclassed all competitors in a stiff examination, but what has been the result? The citinzens of Washington know the expressed decaration of a certain Negro official that he was too black for director. An attempt a few weeks ago was made by this same individual who has been opposed to Professor Layton for years to remove him, but Capt. James F. Oyster, president of the Board of Education, and a Democrat in politics, declared that no teacher, no matter how black he is, will be removed on account of his color. It was he who took up the defense of Professor Layton and placed the Board of Education on record. The editor of The Bee knows that these conditions existed. The Superintendent of Schools has been used, unbeknown to himself, by evil designed individuals, and he wil see it when it is too late. Teachers have been demoted, transferred, and dropped by false representations to the Superintendent. Conditions are now even worse. There is a silent power unknown to the school authorities that will prevent the promotion of certain colored teachers. A change is the only remedy. DISMISSAL OF MR.MONROE The Board of Education has committed a grave blunder in the dismissal, of Mr. David L. Monroe as teacher of engineering at the Armstrong Manual Training School. The attorney for the Board, Mr. McNamara, has been misinformed as to the duties that Mr. Monroe performed. The attorney for the Board was told, so he said, that Mr. Monroe was no teacher. He did no marking, hence he cannot be given an investigation. The records will show that he was a teacher of engineering, that he marked his pupils just the same as other teachers, that pupils have graduated from the Armstrong Manual Training School in engineering, and have received diplomas from the school under the supervision of Dr. Bud Evans, the principal of that school. Mr. Monroe has been regarded as a teacher, so recognized as a teacher and classed as a teacher, which the records will show. So far as the facts and circumstances in his case are concerned they will all be brought out, and then the public as well as Congress will see the subterfuge upon which he was recommended for dismissal. BRUCE'S ATTACK The more The Bee looks at the letter of Roscoe Conkling Bruce to Superintendent Chancellor the more cowardly it looks. It is a fact that Bruce had not the slightest ground to have penned such a letter. Dr. Brice Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, admits that he made the appointment unsolicited; that Mrs. Gibson, herself, knew nothing about the appointment. It is only necessary for the committee to meet and listen to the testimony. Who is safe under such condition of affairs? Any citizen would be liable to receive a stab in his back by an impossible official. The public no doubt will know the motive. The Bee will not state the motive at present, but at the proper time the real motive will be exposed. In addition to the motive there will be hundreds of other interesting matters that will come out which have been kept from public observation. That there has been graft in the public schools The Bee will not deny, and it could have been found out if the necessary steps had been taken. The guilty parties have been kept under cover, but they should be exposed at the proper time. Why isn't there an investigation of card playing by certain officials who have supervision over subordinate teachers? Why is not the High School investigated? Why are not certain supervising principals investigated? REIGN OF TERROR. Never before in the history of our schools has there even been such a reign of terror. The Bee wants to say to the teachers that they need to have no fear, because Congress will not tolerate this diabolical cussedness that emanates from a dieased brain. What do we see? Reputable teachers insulted by asking them all kinds of foolish questions, under the guise of reform. Why does not the smelling committee enter into the investigation of the many appointments that have been made in the High School. If the smelling committee wants to find out what has been done and what is being done, see how those appointments were made and upon whose recommendation. The real issue not be lost to public view. A most cowardly attack was made upon the editor of The Bee, and the guilty parties must answer. DISTRICT PRIMARIES. The Bee would suggest to the National Committee the propriety of having a delegate convention; that is to say, allow each of the twenty-two districts to elect five delegates to some designated hall, and then elect two delegates and two alternates to the National Republican Convention. This mode of electing delegates will do away with so much repeating. Let the National Committee designate three persons to arrange for the election of delegates in the manner designated above, which will give satisfaction all around. Let the twenty-two districts be directed to call meetings at the same hour in halls in their respective districts, and elect five delegates and five alternates to some central hall, and then elect the two delegates and the two alternates to the National Republican Convention. Under the old primary system there will be too much fraud and dissatisfaction. TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT. After all, it was only a tempest in a teapot. Bruce laid a dragnet, and only one mullet got caught, and his head went off. He did not even receive the sympathy of a catfish. It is a dangerous thing to believe everything that is told you. Carolina, upon his selection superintendent of the Cooried phan Asylum, a state institution It is hoped that Mr. Cheatham will be as successful as superintendent of that institution as has been in all other positions by him under his local government as well as the national government. While recorder of the Mr. Cheatham was the boss of office. It is quite evident that will so conduct this new point in a manner that will be be commendable to the State of Carolina and his many friends this city. Accept the organizations of The Bee. DON'T GET FUNN. From the National View Mr. William Calvin Cause didate for delegate from Columbia to the next R national Convention. Mr. sistent Republican and a champion of the right.

HOW IS THIS From the Duncan (Ind.) J. The Negroes, headed by W. Chase, the Negro lawyer Washington, D. C., are after political scalp. Chase, who seems to be the fluential Negro in the U. s. says that if any of the R. secures the nomination he can ticket for president, the picture of the Democ- ron on the front page of his paper the Washington Bee, a paper reputation. So Roosa, you ad well quit catering to the Negroes are getting too smart to of your hogwash.

Down on the lower Eastem Shore, where they tickle the earth and enjoy the sight of golden streams gushing forth in the ore ies wes cee Ste a” Ee oe the summer has been bountiful. Many white men and a scattering of negroes have cashed in at the rate of $200 net an acre. The Republicans hasten to as- cribe the. flow to the magic touch of their wizard party of Prosperity. And lots of loosely-attacheq Democrats be- lieve them, It is Gospel truth that every man born of woman wears a nature- made harness, which must be hitched to somebody of demi-god attributes. Dem- ocrats of the Maryland kind have na- tionally nobody, while Republicans can offer a choice of Roosevelt, Hughes and Taft. These lower counties are Demo- ératic strongholds. Defection and apathy thereabouts, if unchecked, are cloudy with disaster, For the campaign of 1907, at least, one can ste where “skin the niggers” be- comes the enunciation of soul-stirring principle. It tides over the period of the fallow and unfruitful in national Demo- cratic doings, In spite of the defeat of the Poe amendment, Maryland whites may be depended upon to declare for negro dis- franchisement, if the measure can be so constructed that “grandfather” clauses will not threaten and alarm citizens of foreign descent. This year the Demo- crats are not compelled to stand the scrutiny of a definite measure. They have only to promise a rectification of the suffrage, “while safeguarding the privileges of the naturalized citizen.” They ought to win; that is, if they make no tactical blunder, ~ Republicans’ Counterblast, — - On the Republican side of this issue there is a counterblast of peculiar nov- elty and interest, It is a movement to to do some negro-skinning themselves. The leader is a'young bundle of nerves and energy, Walter B. Miller. Four years ago he proposed in his own county that the Republicans officially declare against the nomination or appointment of negrocs to office; that the negroes openly renounce the business of office- seeking. He contended, and now con- tends, that by this course the “white | supremacy” device, as a political issue, will be as bald as Julius Caesar; that the aearoes will be benefited and will ad- vance morally, How far this coufter- mine has progressed may be seen in the fact that Miller was unanimously urged to take a place on the State ticket—the comptrollership—with the full approval of Gaither, and with the assurance that on the stump he could exploit his ides to his heart's and lungs’ content. He declined, for personal reasons, but ac- reepted the nomination for State senator _in his county, with the understanding | that he was going to be industrious, bosterous and special in behalf of his | Miller Idea. People of the United States must»watch this fallin theline of actual voting, : ROOSEVELT, TAFT, AND THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CON- VENTION. From the Colored Alabamian, During the last six months, colored Methodists have been holding important meetings in different parts of the coun- try; and in every one of these meeting: resolutions have been passed denouncing President Roosevelt and Secretary Taf for their bold injustice in dismissing “without honor” the colored soldicrs from the nUited States Army. We com- mend the colored Methodists of the United, States for the bold stand they shave thus taken in defense of justice -and “equal rights” to all men regardless ‘of their color. On September 11, 1907, the National Baptist Convention met in the city of Washington, D, C, and held a five days’ session. At the proper time resolutions were introduced (and ightly ‘so)condemning President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for the injustice to the colored soldiers and pleading for the simple exercise of justice to every man in the administration of the laws of our land. While this resolution was brought forward ‘by some of the ablest men of the convention, and had the support of a large majority of all the delegates present, we are told that it was defeat- ed by the wily tricks of the one man who should have been its strongest sup- porter. Rev. E. C. Morris, DD, of Helena, Ark, is the man referred jf He has been president of the National Baptist Convention for more than a dee- ade, and it is generally reported that in the race today, He is reported as having said that ifthe resolutions pass- he is one of the ablest parliamentarians ed he would resign his position. Just why Dr. Morris took such a stand as this we do not understand, but we be- lieve that he should have been given an opportunity to resign a position in which he has apparently become un- useful, The National Baptist Conven- tion, representing more than two million communicants, had the opportunity that has been given to no other organization of Negroes to speak out against.the in- justice and oppressions that have been heaped upon the race. Dr. Morris may ‘feel that he has done something big; and he has. He has suppressed the honest outburst of the oppressed against oppression; he has kept the world from knowing, so far as the National Bap- tist Convention is concerned, that the Negroes of America are vigorously pro- testing against the insults of the most powerful foe that has ever raised a hand against the African race. The National Baptist Convention will meet in New York City next year and unless Presi- dent Roosevelt acknowledges his wrong deeds and reinstates every colored sol- dier dismissed,similar resolutions should be offered and passed. As for Dr. Mor- tis, he is guilty of the blackest crime against his race, and should be so’ con- sidered by his brethren. It is a pity that this resolution failed of passage.

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 up- on exhibition, Mr. De Voux is an expert in his profession. -He makes his pic- tures the exgct 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 exhibtion some of his own work as an evidence of his artistic workmanship, His Photos are as naturel 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 gth, 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. 7 . MONEY REFUNDED. If you are not satisfied with your Pictures, your money will be re- funded. ‘This proposition alone Ought to be sufficient to assure the public that Mr. De Voux is a Superior artist. He makes you loox’ like a natural image. So artistie is his work. There is no photogra- pher 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 andinspect 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 wuat they can do. This city has been inneed of a first-class photographer for years. Colored Amcricans 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 jin 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 ische artist that the people of this city have been looking for theseyears, His tudio 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 ‘Iloag, the finest developing and printing artist identified with the colored race, as assistant and manager. He was formerly with Sex- ton and Maxwell of St. Louis, Mo. 7 Artists of other nationalities do not cater for colored citizens’ trade.

An old statute declares that It may not be taken out of the kingdom, and one of the offenses for which Cardi- nal Wolsey was impeached and pun- ished was that he had violated the law by taking the great seal to France when he accompanied Henry VIII. to his memorable meeting with Francis I. And there are also pains and pen- alties devised for the chancellor who allows the great seal out of his keep- ing. So that, what between the dim- culty of letting this instrument of power out of his personal care and the impossibility of taking it abroad, the lord high chancellor has always been prevented during his term of of- ficee from leaving the country.

The chancel- lorship {s not only the most fllustri- ‘ous; but Hkewise one of the most an- ‘clent offices of the reaim, the unbrok- en line of {ts holders dating back to 1068; that is to say, to two years af- ter the Norman Conquest. It carries with It a seat in the cabinet, a salary of $50,000 a year, a hereditary peer- kge, the proluctorship of the House of Lords and a retiring pension of $30,000 a year for life, even if the woolsack has only been occupied for a few days. In addition to this the lord chancellor enjoys an enormous amount of patronage, having the ap- polntment of all the judges, of high and low degree, from the lord chlet justice down to the humblest justice ot the peace and county magistrate, and the right of presentation to all the crown livings or ecclesfastical benefices. o Lord Loreburn’s principal relations with the United States so far have been his representation of the British interests in the Venezuela arbitration conference at Paris, which brought to a friendly conclusion a quarrel which at one moment threatened to develop into a war between this country and Great Britain. For his services in the matter he was rewarded by Queen Victoria with the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. ‘A: HIGH:DEGREE- 5 | OF "SATISFACTION IS A ‘ a RARE THING IN MOST $3.00 LI Lal SHOES.

Use Hydrogen Peroxide to Remove Blood Stains—Cream of Tartar When Ink Is Spilled—Proper Hydrogen peroxide is good for removing stains caused by oil, but must be used with care. If gravy is spilled on your table dinen or gown, it may be taken out quickly by the use of a little peroxide to avoid weakening the material this should be immediately followed by the use of an alkali. If just removing a spot, sponge the fabric first with peroxide until the stain has vanished, then follow with a solution of weak ammonia. If you have been unfortunate in staining a handsome gown or blouse that cannot be laundered, dampen starch and place it thickly upon the stain. When dry brush off the starch. This may have to be repeated several times. Mildew is a stubborn stain. Try immersing the spots first in buttermilk, or lemon juice, then launder in the usual manner. It is difficult to remove ink stains nowadays, because modern chemicalinks are quite distinct in character from the old compounds. However, many suggestions are offered for removing ink. One way is to cover the stain thickly with cream of tartar, then hold the fabric over a bowl, and pour boiling water through it. If the stain is taken in hand at once it will disappear quickly; if dry and old, it may need several fresh applications of cream of tartar and boiling water. If still obstinate, lay the article in the sun, molstening from time to time with the same mixture. Lemon juice and salt is also often an effective mixture. The fabric should be placed in the sun. Another remedy for ink-stains on white goods is hot tallow. Dip the spots in the melted tallow, let it cool on the goods, then brush off and launder. To clean ivory that has become brown or of a blackish tint, dissolve rock album in rain water; boll this and keep the ivory in the boiling solution for about an hour, taking it out from time to time and cleaning it with a soft brush; then let it dry in a damp muen rag, when it will be found thoroughly cleaned. Ivory is often bleached by the simple process of dampening it and exposing it to the rays of the sun, a process which must be frequently repeated. It is said that potatoes will bake in much less time if the skins are greased before putting them into the oven. The skins will come off more easily and will be as thin as when boiled. It will be economy to finish your sheets with the same width hem at each end. By so doing they can be used either side up, and gain much wear. Sulphur Apples. Peel, core and quarter your apples. Measure them into a market basket and to each gallon of prepared apples allow one tablespoonful of surphur. Put the sulphur into an old tin. Set this in the bottom of a barrel and drop a live coal upon the sulphur. Hang the basket of apples in the barrel and cover as quickly as possible, making barrel as nearly air tight as you can. Let the apples remain in the sulphur fumes several hours. Then place them in jars and tie a cloth over the top of each jar and your apples are all right. When you want to use them, soak them for an hour or two before using them Use just like green apples. To Clean White Mackintosh. Unless extremely soiled a white mackintosh may be cleaned by washing with soap and water; but if it is exceptionally dirty dip it first in cold soft water and then lay on a clean table or board. With a soft scrubbing brush scrub with yellow soap on both sides until dirt is removed. Then dip in three or four waters until soap is removed entirely, and hang it up in the air, without wringing it. If the mud stains around the bottom have been in long and are obstinate it is best to send it to an expert cleaner. Tin and Acids. No acids should ever be used to clean tinware. The best possible means of keeping it in good condition is to wash it in boiling water until every particle of grease is removed. Once a week it can be rubbed with a little powdered rotten stone and sweet oil mixed and finished with a little whitening on a piece of chamols. Tins that have become old and dingy can be brightened by rubbing with a moist piece of flannel dipped in saleratus. A Bride's Aprons. The most serviceable pieces in one trousseau this summer were the overall aprons given the bride by her girl friends at a linen shower. They are of prettily colored linen embroidered in white, and made to cover the dress completely from neck to hem. They are semi-fitting princess affairs, with wide kimona elbow sleeves, and button in the back with one large button. Cheese Straws One cup grated cheese; add one cup flour, half of a small cup butter a quarter teaspoonful salt; knead well or until the right consistenl with a crumbling; bake BRAISED MEAT THE BEST. Many Advantages in French Method of Cooking. Braising is a combination of roasting and stewing small joints of meat in a shallow stewpan, called a "braisolre" or braiser, which has a close-fitting lid with a grooved edge round it, on which hot coals (charcoal) are placed, whereby the meat can be cooked with a fire above it as well as under it. This process of cooking, it is said, greatly decreases loss by evaporation. It is a favorite method with the French, and is supposed to bring out an unusually fine flavor and aroma. The pan in which a braise is to be made should always be lined with slices of bacon, carrot, onions and herbs, upon which the meat is placed. It is usually molested with stock or stock and wine. The more delicate meats, such as sweetbreads, fillets, fowls and turkeys are sometimes covered with buttered paper; this is done to prevent the heat from the top of the pan scorching or imparting too much of a roast flavor to the meats which are to be braised. Occasional basting during the process of this method of cooking is essential. When done, the meat is taken up, the fat removed from the vegetables and gravy, which latter is then reduced, strained and blended with some kind of gravy or thin sauce. MAKES THE WORK EASY How One Clever Woman Minimized Her Labor. One woman who does her own housework, from preference, ends the day with less fatigue than many housewives who have an assistant. She has a kitchen cabinet, a coal range, and a gas stove, and a stool just high enough to allow her to sit comfortably before the ironing table. Her house is as neat as any woman I can call to mind. Her husband has never ceased to marvel at her and her achievements, but system and thought are responsible for it all. It cannot be very comfortable for a mah to go home from a hard day's work to find disorder, a tired woman and picked-up meals. Left-overs can be disguised, you know, and dainty table 'appointments and an air of serenity will cover many shortcomings' of the larder. The majority of men dislike the bustle of home dressmaking and should be spared that ordeal—and a few others.—Montreal Herald Laundry Notes. To make any clothing extra stiff when laundering, it is best to dry the garments first, then run through starch and dry the second time. Flour starch should not be used for dainty waists, since it gives a yellow tinge to them. A mixture of lump and gloss starch will be best and such articles should be wrapped in damp towels instead of being sprinkled before ironing. First iron the sleeves, then the front, lastly the back and collar and place the waist to dry on a hanger made from a rolled newspaper tied in the middle with a string. This keeps the waist from creasing by being hung with other clothes on the rack. Small starched articles like cuffs and collars should be dried before the kitchen fire or they absorb any dampness in the room and. become limp To Make Flowers Stand Upon Bowl. Lay a large platter upside down on a good sized piece of white mosquito net. Then cut the net two inches around the outline of the platter. Overcast the material, taking stitches about one-half inch deep. Next run a drawstring—white twine—all around the inside of the stitching, fit over the platter, draw tight, and tie the twine. Fill the platter with water; stick through the net short stemmed flowers, preferably sweet peas, panicles, or violets, and lean small ferns against the outside of the platter to hide the mosquito netting. Apples Baked with Almonds. Peel and core <i>ix or eight tart apples,</i> and let them simmer in a cupful each of sugar and water, bolled together for a few minutes until nearly tender Turn the apples frequently to avoid breaking. A little lemon juice added to the syrup will improve the flavor. Put the apples into an agate pan and press into them almonds, blanched and split in halves. Dredge with powdered sugar, and brown in the oven. Serve hot with whipped cream or jelly, and the cold syrup in which the apples were cooked. German Pickles One peck of green tomatoes and eight large onions. Slice and mix with a cupful of salt. Let stand five or six hours, drain and add one quart of vinegar and two quarts of water. Again drain and add two pounds of sugar and three quarts of vinegar; also two tablespoonfuls each of cloves, vinnamon, ginger, allspice and mustard and a dozen finely chopped green peppers. Boil again from one to two hours, and seal in glass or earthen jars. To Repair Irish Point If the edge and medallions of old Irish point curtains are in good condition, though the net is much broken, they can be transferred to new net without much trouble. Get enough cobinette or Brussels net for the new curtains, cut the desired length, allowing for hems, and put into curtainsretchers. Baste the border of Irish point onto the net, then the medallions, and stitch on by the machine. AIR IN THE BEDROOM. Sleeping Chamber Should Always Be Well Ventilated. It goes without saying that the bedroom, according to Dr. Woods Hutchinson in the American Magazine, should be well ventilated, especially in view of the heavy storing up of oxygen in the tissues which goes on during sleep. All windows should be open from the top, at least one, and better two to three feet, so that a gentle current of air can be felt blowing across the face. It is just as pure and as wholesome as day air. Night fogs and rain, we only injurious in so far as they frighten you into shutting your windows. No air that ever blew out doors is so langerous or poisonous as that must be a bedroom with closed windows. The clothing should be as light as is consistent with warmth, the mattress elastic but firm, the pillow as high as the breadth of the shoulder, so as to keep the neck and head horizontal or slightly above when lying on the side. The good, hard, common-sense of humanity has solved all these problems, and the modern hair-mattress, or its equivalent, single pillow, and blankets, or "cheese - cloth - covered "comfort," which can be cleaned and aerated by turning the hose on it, can hardly be much improved on. Beyond these there is no virtue whatever in hard beds, flat or no pillows, and cold bedrooms. The boggy feather bed, collector of the perspiration and diseases of successive generations, the bolster, the elder-down quilt, the hard sail-cloth-like counterpane, both airtight, and the latter heavy as a board, have gone to the attic or the ash-heap, where they belong, along with the four-poster and its curtains, the night-cap and the warming pan. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. A teaspoonful of pulverized alum mixed with the common stove polish will give a wonderful polish. Scalding the milk for custard ple adds greatly to its flavor. An addition of a teaspoonful of brown sugar or molasses is also helpful. To keep your favorite cook book open at the right page use a band of elastic an inch wide. When not in use you may strap it around the closed book. To save the great toe of the foot wearing through the hose too quickly cut a piece of chamois and shape it to fit over the toe by sewing two pieces together in a manner similar to a child's moccasin. When one is compelled to hang a skirt against the closet wall instead of on hangers extended from the ceiling let the back of the skirt rest against the wall, then if there is any wrinkling it comes at the back where it is not noticeable. If windows move hard melt a tablespoonful of lard and pour a little between window frame and casing, and also a little on the roller and rope. It works like magic. This is a good thing to know when the frames are swollen from being closed during rainy weather. Stains made by medicine and lintment 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 The Clothes Tree. An article of furniture too seldom used is the clothes "tree," resembling the posts of our grandmother's fourpost bedstead. It stands on three feet and has half a dozen prongs or hooks. As it takes up so little floor space and holds so many garments it is an invaluable article. In a small hall or vestibule it takes the place of the hat rack, and in a larger hall it complements the table on which gentlemen's hats are laid. For the necessary airing of one's clothes over night it is preferable to chairs, as it can so easily be set out of the sleeping room. In the bathroom it is especially convenient To Preserve Raisins Late in the fall, or early in winter, as soon as the fresh seeded ralsins come in, buy as many as you will need during the hot weather Remove from boxes and pack into glass fruit jars. Set the jars in a pan of cold water; put on the stove, and boll until hot through (about one hour) Then seal the bottles tight and the ralsins will keep moist and fresh until the next winter It is best to put a block of wood in the pan under the bottles to keep them from cracking. Washing Embroidery. Great care should be used in washing silk embroideries. Even the best silk will not bear having soap rubbed upon it. One should use warm water. not hot, and a suds made from some pure soap. With reasonable care white silk embroideries can be laundered many times without turning yellow, which is generally the result of too hot water and a poor soap or cheap washing powders. Breaded Chops Without Eggs Take one-half cup sweet milk, one-half cup water, one large teaspoonful salt, and one level teaspoon pepper. Wet chops in mixture and have some crisp bread crumbs ready. Bread plentifully in these and lay on large platter in ice chest for one or two hours. Fry in clear dripping, a golden brown. Drain on plain white paper napkins for a few minutes in the oven.

Digging Up the Sccrets of a Peo ple Which Lived Ages Ago In Houses Cut of Binste: Santa Fe, N, M.—Probably no more important or Interesting archeological {vestigation has ever been conducted in American than that just begun in what is known as the Pajarito Park district of New Mexico, about ¢wenty- five miles west of Santa Fe, and net more than five or six miles from Buckman Station, on the Denver & Rlo Grande railroad. The work is in charge of Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, di- rector of American archeology in the Archeological Institute of America, who {s assisted by a number of en- thuslastic students of archeology Three or four months will be spent {a maldng explorations in this Iittle- known region. The time in entirely too short for an exhaustive examina- tion, which must be the work of years but it ts encouraging to see some in- dication that the common belief that the Archeological Institute of Ameri- ca fs interested in antiquities only pro- vided that they are not American Is not entirely Justified, Pajarito Park ts included Im the great Jemez Natfonal Forest—al- though equally interesting antiquities belonging to the same group are also found in the Santa Clara Indian Res- ervation and in the private land grant now controlled by the Ramon Land and Lumber company. To Prof, Hew. ett belongs the credit for having the ruins {ncluded, as far as possible, in the forest reserve, in order that they might be preserved from the thought- less acts of vandalism that threatened the utter destruction of everything of an antiquarian value. The district Is bounded on the north by the Rio Cha- ma, on the east by the Rio Grande, on the south by the'Rio de los Frijoles and on the west by the Jemez moun- tains. Much of it is heavily timbered, while its scen{c features are of great beauty and grandeur. The whole sur- face at one time was deeply covered with volcante tufa.

In another almost Inaccesstble spot, A. B. Crayeraft, the Santa Fe photog: rapher, whdse work has done so much to spread abroad a knowledge of the wonders of Pajarito Purk, recently discovered two great stone. Idols carved from the living rock, and still forming an Integral part of the cliff to which they were attached. In still another canon are the “stone fions of Potrero de las Vacas,” and In another the Painted Cave. Most wonderful of all, say certain aged Indians of the pueblo of Santa Clara, Is the “Stone Council Chamber.” In a secret rectss in a deep canon they claim are twelve ‘colossal stone figures ten of which represent men sitting around. a coun- cil fire, while the other two represent /squaws with papooses on their backs. That this “Stone Councit Chamber” really exists no one familiar with the traditions of Santa Clara Indians doubts, but no living white man has ever seen it No less remarkable are the’ stone tents of Otowi, in the canon of the ‘same name. These were originally huge, solfd, conical stone formations, detached from the cliffs, although standing near them. In all, there are about fifty of them. In spiral arrange. ment, around the exterior, are deeply cut hand-and-footholds, ‘making it comparatively easy to ascend to the top, although some are fully forty feet high. In some of them, rooms have been labariously excavated. Ex- smtzation reveais the fact that some of the stone tents used to be much higher than they now are, and that the elements have worn them down until the bigher rooms have been wholly or partlally destroyed, Just what was the purpose of these curt- ous places {s purely a matter of con- jecture, Some suppose that they were devoted to religious uses, or were the dwelling places of the priests. Others think they formed the abodes of the chiefs and rulers. It fs said that simt- lar “‘stone tents” exist In Thibet, but nowhere else In the known world. When the wonders of our own land are better appreciated, the stone tents of Owotl will be considered justifica- tlon for a journey across the contt- nent. HER ANNUAL BATH. Important Function Performed by the Queen of Madagascar.
