Washington Bee

VOL.27 NO.22 HE WAS PROFUSE He was a meeting called by Ros- ince at his residence last week school matters. Among those are invited were Dr. W; J. E. Dr. Dumas, Dr. Francis, H. Terrell, H. C. Tyson, Rev. Morse, ex-Justice E. M. Hewlett, arrived too late to hear the ex- Dr. Chancellor on the school and his recent interview with W. Calvin Chase. Dr. Chancellor was asked why he had Mr. Chase to the Franklin School after what he had said against "O!" he said; "I wanted him to commit himself." One of his audi- tors asked him if he thought a lawyer would commit himself. To this reply Dr. Chancellor was non-plussed. He informed that Mr. Chase had cer- l letters of his. This remark seemed to excite the Doctor. The discussion, so the information of the Bee is, was concerning the Editor and the schools. As a matter of fact Dr Chancellor called the Editor six times in one day before he perfected an interview with him. His first call was in the morning to The Bee office message was: "We (meaning himself and the editor) must get together." The editor did not go that day, but wrote him that he would call the next day at one o'clock. The next day at one o'clock the editor called with Dr. S. L. Currothers, but the superintendent was out. He phoned his regrets in the afternoon of the same way, and asked the editor to call that afternoon at 4.30 when the business of his office was over. The editor informed him that he would call, which he did, accompanied by Attorneys Jones and Scott, who heard the entire interview. The superintendent admitted that Mr. Chase had never received an appointment in the schools and so far as he (the editor) was concerned there was nothing against him, and he pretended to be at a loss to know why Roscoe C Bruce should send him such a letter. He (Dr. Chancellor) admitted that Mr Chase had written several articles at his suggestion, and had done many things for him for which he (the editor) had received no compensation. "I haven't even paid my subscription for The Bee, nor a cent for your cut." Attorney Jones then spoke up and asked Dr. Chancellor, "What has Mr. Chase received?" "Nothing," remarked Dr. Chancellor. Every question that was put to Dr. Chancellor by Mr. Chase was admitted to be true. He asked the editor to name a superintendent for Bruce's place. Mr. Chase named Attorney Marshall and Attorney L. G. Gregory. "Oh!" said Dr. Chancellor, "Mr.Gregory dd not pass the examination for supervising principal." That is not true, from information in possession of The Bee. "If you can prove," said Dr. Chancellor, "that Bruce has lied on you I will dismiss him." He made the same statement over the phone, and the same question was put to him in the presence of Attorneys Jones and Scott. Dr. Chancellor was very profuse. He was willing to do anything, and he did concede everything. At the meeting last week he assured the invited delegation that Bruce would not be removed, notwithstanding what may be established against him. MR. CHIASE DEMANDS OPEN SESSION. Monday morning, September 21, Mr. W Calvin Chase, received the following letter from the secretary of the Board of Education, which explains itself: October 19, 1907. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Dear Sir: I am instructed by Capt. James F. Oyster, president of the Board, to notify you to be present at a meeting of the committee at 3:30 Thursday afternoon, October 24, at the Franklin Bldg, and be fully prepared to substantiate the charges which you have made in the matter of Assistant Superintendent Bruce. In reply to the above letter Mr. Chase sent the following to Capt. James F. Oyster: Washington, D. D., Oct. 22, 1907. Capt. James F. Oyster, President of the Board of Education. Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from Mr. Harry O. Hine, Secretary of the Board of Education, requesting me to be present on Thursday afternoon, October 24, at 3:30 o'clock, at the Franklin School Building, and be fully prepared to substantiate the charges I made against Roscoe Conkling Bruce. I shall be present, and will you kindly summons the following persons to be present also?: Dr. William E. Chancellor, Superintendent of Public Instruction, who should have been one of the defendants, for the reason that he made similra charges against me, knowing at the time they were false, and latterly admitted in the presence of witnesses that they were false; Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Training School, and Dr. W. S. Montgomery, Supervising Principal. I also desire to suggest to you the propriety of having an open session, following the ancient aphorism, to wit: "He who runs may read." There should be no star chamber proceedings, but permit the public to see and hear; and above everything, permit the press to be admitted as well. I have nothing to hide. Why should others who have made the broad declaration that Negro lawyers will be stopped from selling places in the schools? Knowing as I do your broad and patriotic, spirit, your interest in our public schools, your fairness toward the teachers, and your desire to clear out corruption if any exists in our public schools, I have thus addressed you with the knowledge that you desire the full rays of the calcium light to be turned on, an open session therefore should not be refused. GREAT MASS MEETING There was a great mass meeting at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street, between 12th and 13th streets, N. W., last Sunday afternoon in the interest of the National Training and Industrial Institute to be established in the District of Columbia for colored boys and girls. Rev. S. G. Lamkins, the promoter of the movement, feels very much encouraged at the outlook. The meeting was opened by a selection from the Junior Choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. The invocation was delivered by Rev. E. B. Gordon, pastor of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church. Maj Charles R. Douglass introduced Gen. John B. Henderson as the presiding officer. The General made a very interesting speech, which was listened to with wrap attention by all who were present. He spoke of how he became the author of the amendment of the Constitution abolishing slavery in the United States. He said that he agreed with Mr. Lincoln in his famous discussion with Mr. Douglass when he said: "If slavery is not wrong, then there is no wrong on earth." Coming to the object of the meeting, he said that he favored the establishment of this industrial school and wanted to see it succeed, and believed it would succeed. He said that Academic Education, learn all the sciences you can but at the same time learn and have your children learn some useful occupation or trade that will make them independent. A man that can do well the various kinds of work, whether manual, technical, or otherwise, and do it as cheap, should stand an equal opportunity with the white man. He then complimented Rev. S. G. Lamkins upon the work that he had done for the establishment of the school, and introduced him as the next speaker, who would more fully explain the object of the meeting. Rev. Lamkins came forward and made a strong plea in behalf of the school. He was followed by Rabbi Abraham Simons. He said some preachers say that industrial education is a terribly dangerous thing. It hurts the religious spirit. I for one do not take that stand, but I believe that industrial education, is absolutely essential for any people, irrespective of color. I say to you that industrial civilization has nothing to do with pigment. The next speaker was Prof. Mitchell Carroll, chairman of the Building Fund of the George Washington University. After emphasizing the importance of the establishment of just such a school as the one proposed he urged upon the people to join in the support of Rev. Lamkins in his efforts. He gave a brief outline of the method of campaign followed in raising $150,000 for the George Washington University.Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, late principal of the M Street High School, was the next speaker. October 27th the New Union Station will be in use for passengers. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY OCTOBER 26. 1907. When the late Marcus A. Howard died this republic lost one of the most eminent men in it and the Republican party the maker of president. Senator Hanna's success was made through that astute and wise politician, Mr. Elmer Dover, of Ohio. This young and brilliant Republican belongs to the State of Ohio, a State that has confidence in the men who represent it. Mr. Dover belongs to no faction, but is a Republican of the stalwart type, who believes in the principles of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and McKinley. Mr. Dover is the man to be at the head of the National Republican Committee, if Mr. New retires. Mr. Dover is allied to no factions, but believes in the Republican party and its principles. The late Senator Hanna found in Mr. Dover such asuteness and brilliant parts that merit his elevation. What the Republican National Committee wants is a man like Mr. Dover. The party has confidence in him, because he is a graduate from the Hanna school of politics. He is honest with [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. M. MR. ELMER DOVER SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. his friends, which is a very necessary requisite in making a successful man. The colored Americans have confidence in him because he is and has been their life-long friend. Such a man as Mr.Dover will unite the colored vote because the colored Americans believe in him. They will follow him because under the leadership of the late Marcus A. Hanna Mr. Dover never turned his back on a colored Republican. For this and many other reasons The Bee thinks that he is the best man to place at the head of the National Committee. As confidential secretary of Senator Hanna, Mr. Daver learned from contact what it is to be true to friends. There are thousands of colored Republicans today willing and ready to respond to the call of this young Republican leader. The campaign of 1908 will be a hot one. A man at the head of the National Committee like Mr. Dover is, therefore, a political necessity. Mr. A. C. Fisher is also from Ohio, a place called Norwalk. He is the private secretary to Mr. Dover. It is said by the young school of politicians that he is a brilliant young man, in whom Mr. Dover has the most implicit confidence. Mr. Fisher will be a great factor in the next campaign. Mr. Dover has many commendable features. He wants to see the party succeed. He has no favorites, but he is for every good Republican who believes in the principles of the party. November 15th the President will deliver an address in connection with the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Howard University. Sister Ann V.

THAT DISTORTED INTERVIEW WITH THE BEE From the Odd Fellows Budget The Bee, in its issue of the 5th inst., states among other things that, "Some-time in the early part of August, the editor of the Budget called to see Editor Chase, with Mr. Henry E. Baker," etc. The facts of the case are that the above shows conclusively how faulty the memory of Editor Chase is. The Editor of the Budget did call to see the Editor of The Bee on the 10th of September, and not the early part of August. The Editor of the Budget did also praise the work done in Alabama by ex-Grand Master Howze, but most emphatically denies that Texas had declared for Howze. Editor Chase must plead guilty to a faulty and a treacherous memory, as his statement convicts him of drawing upon his fertile imagination to present the cause of hise client, Howze, so as to earn his fee. Editor Chase is an able editor, and also an able lawyer, and he would, indeed, be untrite to his client's interests if he did not try to create public sentiment for him and distort interviews, etc., favorable to Howze. The Budget does not champion the cause of Grand Master Houston because it knows that Houston is fully able to take care of himself, and of the interests of the order that he is the head of in this country. Sheathe your sword, Brother Chase; the Budget has' no desire to do battle with you over the unfortunate Howze. He is a dead duck in the fraternal pond." The Budget has not changed front on this matter, as our readers will remember that our April issue condemned the attitude of Howze and others in Alabama, in defying the actions of the S. C. of M. We are consistent, Brother Chase, and in closing this matter we have nothing but the very highest respect and admiration for the Editor of The Bee, and probably if we were a lawyer we would try to present as plausible a case for our clients as we possibly could do, even to the extent of tampering with our memory. With this we dismiss the incident, with the hope that Howze and others of his kind may be convinced of the error of their ways and be snatched, as it were, as a brand from eternal obliteration. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. On November 14th and 15th will occur exercises destined to be memorable in the history of the university. The formal installation of President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, D.D., LLD, and the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the university will furnish the occasion for a series of addresses by distinguished men. An educational mass meeting on the evening of November 14th will be addressed by Dr. A. H. Bradford and Dr. John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist College. On the morning of November 15th, under the direction of Dr. Kelly Miller, president of the organization, the Alumni Association will hold a reunion with program. On the afternoon of the same day President Thirkield will be installed. Addresses on this occasion will be delivered by the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States; the Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior; Dr. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education, and Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Atlanta. On the evening of the 15th, at the celebration of the fortieth anniversary, Dr. Cornelius Patten, the Hon. J. P. Napier and Dr. George Frazier Miller will speak. The present school year has witnessed a large increase in the number of students. Especially noteworthy is the heavy registration in the College of Arts and Sciences, where, under the present administration of the University, the increase has been seventy percent. This becomes all the more significant when there are taken into account the facts that many applications had to be refused because the candidates could not meet the high entrance requirements, and that others hoping to enter the college were assigned to the Academy. Upon recommendation of President Thirkield, at a recent meeting of the executive committee of th Board of Trustes, Dr. Kelly Miller, professor of mathematics, was appointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, vice Dr. F. W. Fairfield, recently placed on the Carnegie Foundation. The Board takes final action at its meeting in January. Interest in athletics runs high. Mr. W. H. Bullock, the former brilliant Dartmouth player, has been engaged as coach of the football team, and is now in active charge. On Friday evening last the Y. M. C. A. gave a large reception for the benefit of new students. After the serving of a splendid supper, addresses were delivered by President Thirkield, Hon. John C. Dancy, and International Secretaries Hunton and Moorland. The program was enlivened with music by the Y. M. C. A. Orchestra. Dr. W. H. Seaman, of the faculty of the Medical School, has recently presented to the university an attractive sun dial, which will adorn the campus. REPUBLICAN PARTY.

J. W. Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, His subject is: The Negro and the Socialistic Party. Miss Modine, the president, is succeeding remarkably well as president of the Bethel Literary, and she deserves credit for the class of speakers she presented last season, and is said that the speakers before the association this year will be equally as good if not better. Rev. Waldron is an eloquent speaker, and there is no doubt that he will show why the Negro should be a Socialist and support that party. A special musical program has been arranged. . = = = ._4 - aN eh 2 = 2, yo ee Seed wt = one Zz . =a .

A DELICIOUS FLAVOR IMPORTED “TO ALL KINDS OF FOOD. The Idea Recently imported to This Country from France—Has Suc-* ceeded the Chafing Dish. There is nothing that imparts to food a more savory and delicious flavor than. to cook It en casserole. Not that there is any pecuiar spici- ness hidden in the rough sides of. this foreign cooking utensil. The casserole possesses no magical powers, but it has a very delightful way all its own of retaining and blending the natural favors of anything cooked In it, while it brings out others that are entirely lost in the oidinary method of pre- paring meats and vegetables, The casserole marks a new era in the his- tory of culsine. It has changed the routine of the famHy domestic and it has educated the taste of the mem- bers around the dinner tables, as well as of the habitues of good restaurants, for the casserole {s the favorite dish of the lovers of excellent food. It is the pet cish of the gourmet. En cas- serole is the way to prepare a bird, a specially fine bit of meat or vegetables to tempt the most jaded appetite and to p.ease the palate of the epfcure. With a steaming and savory casserole before one the worrles of the moment are forgotten. Ambrosia and nectar even seem insipid when compared with the relish held within the bulg- ing sides of a common clay casserole. Coohing en casserole is an {dea adopted from the world's best chefs, those of France. It Is simple to do and It is economical, while the dish itself Is so cheap that Americans hes!- tate. to have it served in its natural form at the dinner table and seek to hide its roughness with costly orna. mentation, The Ideal French casserole is a shallow yellow earthenware dish privided with a stubby handle, which is a part of the earthenware dish it- ‘Self. The outside of the common cas- serole is quite rough, an@Jt has a por- ous appearance which may have ‘something to do with the way the [casserole cooks whatever is put into it, The inside is glazed and usually has a reddish brown color. An ordl. Mary casserole costs about 40 cents and larger ones come to a dollar or ore, and the ordinary kind is quite jthe best to use for cooking. . Until recently casseroles were rath. er difficult to buy in this country. Few of the department stores and shops devoted to cooking paraphernalia car ried them, and those who were wed ded to casserole cooking had to hum these earthenware dishes In little out of-the-way places In the French quar ter of the city.

Some of these casseroles are deeper than oth- ‘ers, though all are comparatively shal- low and have sidés' that round up slightly over the tup. They come with and without covers. but whether you provide yourself with an earthenware cover to march before beginning your apprenticeship to the casserole, it {s well to understand that part of the secret of cooking en casserole is in having the dish covered while it is In the oven, The casserole has succeeded the chafing dish to a great extent and instead of the old time alcoho! and double pan nickel /affairs, without which no bachelor apartment or col- lege room was considered completely equipped, cassrigles mounted some- thing like chafing dishes are being sold.

There fs Mttle doubt that much of this Increase 1s due to the general adoption of the socalled message rate system {n place of the flat annual charge formerly In vogue. By making the charges proportional to the num- ber of calls the use of the telephone hes been widely extended both be cause of the greater willingness of people to become subscribers under such conditions and because the sys tem gives an Incentive to the local telephone companies to give good ser- vice and encourage the use of the tele phone. : Another cause for the Increase fn the number of telephones In use is doubtless the vic ann. 1 1 ter large business “hei - 1 at citles, since ihe, * +> + Fara solute neces-"\ + =o building, maka.r | co. s tr Bact business a. 41. fia 2? tues!

OF OLD PRESERVES OF OLD PRESERVES DANITY DESSERTS MADE FROM LAST YEAR'S LEFT OVERS. Numberless Dainties In Which They Can Be Utilized to Excellent Advantage—How Some of With the shelves well filled with this season's jams, jellies and preserves, what to do with left over condiments from last year is a problem that confronts the housewife. They are far too good to give away, for they represent much time and considerable expense. There are numberless dainties that can be made, utilizing these jams and jellies of last year's make, and here are a few that should appeal to one and all. One of the simplest ways of using up jams is to make a pie crust and line a dozen individual cake tins with the pastry, put in the oven and cook to a golden brown. When this crust is cold fill the individuals with jam, and add to each a heaping tablepoonful of whipped cream or make a meringue and set in the oven to brown. This is a very popular French dessert, and to the person who loves pastry it is a great relief from the regulation pie. Another simple and pretty dessert is made by putting a layer of jelly or jam in the bottom of a glass dish, over this pour a little boiled taplaoca pudding, then another layer of the jelly. Served from a glass dish this is a very attractive dessert. French Pancakes—A dessert much liked, particularly by the male element. To make these take one plint of milk, two eggs, one tablespoon of sugar, one cup of flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder, one cup of cream, pinch of salt. Sift the flour, powder and salt together, add to it the eggs beaten with the sugar and diluted with the milk and cream, mix into thin batter. Pour about a half a cup of the batter on a large frying pan, put on hot fire and when well done spread with any kind of preserves, roll up, sift over them plenty of sugar and glaze with a red-hot poker. Blackberry Jam Cake—One cup of dark brown sugar, one-half cup butter, three eggs, three tablespoons sour milk, one teaspoon of soda, one cup of jam, two cups of flour, two teaspoons of cinnamon, one-half grated nutmeg. Bake in two jelly pans and put together with white icing. Fruit Charlotte—Line the bottom of a tin mold with white paper and the sides with split lady fingers or pieces of sponge cake. Next soak one ounce of gelatine in a half pint of cold water. When soft place on the fire until dissolved. Press one quart of any canned fruit through a sieve and add one cup of powdered sugar. When the gelatine is cold mix with the fruit and sugar, add one pint of whipped cream sweetened to taste, pour into the lined mold and place on the ice. This should be eaten very cold. Fruit Pudding—One pint of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one large spoonful sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one tablespoon butter, milk or water to moisten. Work this as little as possible and make into a soft biscuit dough. Divide into five parts, pat flat, lay two tablespoonfuls of any tart jelly or preserves on each and roll. Place in a pan and pour over them the following sauce: One tablespoon of butter, one cup of sugar, cream together; then add a pint of boiling water, stir and pour over the rolls; bake until done. This is really a delicous dessert. Jam Pudding—To make this pudding take three eggs, one cup of sugar and one cup of any jam, preferably rather tart, half a cup of butter, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in hot water, and half a cup of sour milk. Mix with enough slifted flour to make a batter not quite as stiff as for cake. This should be baked in shallow tins and served very hot with the following sauce: Two-thirds of a cup of sugar, butter the size of a large walnut, two tablespoonfuls of hot water and one egg. Cream all of this together and set over a pan of hot water and cook a few minutes until it is the consistency of thick cream. Poached Eggs on Spinach. Thoroughly wash some spinach in plenty of cold water. Lift out of water and put into pot with only the water that adheres from washing, and boil till tender, usually ten to fifteen minutes. When tender, strain and mince on a board very finely, adding pepper, salt, sprinkle of flour and one teaspoonful of brown sugar. Heat a frying pan, put in about one ounce of butter, and when hot add the spinach. Stir and thoroughly heat through. Serve in hot dish with poached eggs on top. New Wall Paners Striking colors do not seem to be favorite in the new, wall papers shown. The soft pastel shades predominate and it is notable that very little gold decoration is used. There is an imitation of hand-tooled leather which is very good to look at, extremely modish for certain rooms, and costs ever so much less than the real leather. Japanese grasscloth, imitation burlap and the real burlap are also an excellent choice for rooms not to be furnished in light delicate furniture. To Serve Unexpected Guest. If you have a small allowance of meat or vegetables cut them up, put in cream gravy, and serve on toast. In this way the dish goes much farther and is better liked — Inez Griswold. HUES IN HEADGEAR. Combinations That Look Pretty in Fall and Winter Hats. Violet is often combined with white, with gray and with certain blues. One model in white felt had its wide drooping brim bound in violet velvet of a lovely soft shade and was trimmed in three huge knots or choux of velvet in three shades of violet. Such big velvet choux in contrasting colors or several shades of one color are a trimming much favored for wide brimmed hats of moderately high crown and otherwise without trimming. Well developed, the idea is very effective and the Parisian milliners attain striking and beautiful color schemes in this way. Great velvet pansies, morning glories, etc., are used as flowers, as they have been upon the summer hats, and one finds the summer fad for dead white flowers and foliage inclosed in velvet flowers whose blossoms and foliage are white. Big roses are still in demand, but feathers of all imaginable—and unimaginable—kinds, wide, soft ribbons of faille, satin, etc., will probably be more generally used than flowers. Wings come under the comprehensive head of feathers and are shown in forms and colorings even handsomer than those of the spring. Household Helps. Egg spoons that are stained should be rubbed with damp salt before polishing. If a bedstead creaks at each movement of the sleeper, remove the slats and wrap the ends of each in old newspapers. Have a small horseshoe magnet fastened to the end of a tape of ribbon of sufficient length so that it can be dropped to the floor to pick up scissors and needles. Turn your coffee mill down very tightly, fill the hopper with granulated sugar, grind it through once or twice, or even three times, and you have an excellent powdered sugar. To clean a carpet without taking up take a cup half full of cornmeal mixed with salt and sweep well. When spots are left take oxgall or ammonia. Both are very good things to make the carpet as bright as a new one. Iron rust on stoves which have not been in use this summer can easily be removed by going over the parts with coarse sandpaper, afterward covering the places with hot tallow or any warm grease. The next day wash with hot soapsuds in which there is a liberal supply of kerosene. Fenders, grates and stoves can be cleaned in this manner. Variety Cake. Half a cup of butter, one and one-half cups of sugar, five eggs, half a cup of milk, two cups of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of cinnamon, quarter of a teaspoonful of nutmeg, half a cup of chopped raisins, boiled icing. Cream the butter and sugar, put in the yolks of the eggs and beat well; beat in one cup of flour and the baking powder, sifted in it. Reserve two whites of the eggs for the boiled icing; whip the other three well and fold in the butter last. Divide the cake into three parts, add the spices and raisins, well floured; bake one layer of this fruit part and two layers of the plain part. Put boiled icing on all the layers, and put together, with the fruit layer in the middle.—Mrs. C. Vinton Henry. Quick and Easy Laundry Work. You can do a morning's work in one hour and a half by following these directions: Put 8 cents worth of borax, 5 cents worth of salts tartar, 5 cents worth of sowdered ammonia, and one package of potash into five quarts of boiling water. Turn one quart of water onto the potash first and let it stand until cool, then add the rest. Let the mixture stand 24 hours, and it is ready to use. This makes enough for 20 washes. When ready to use, take one coffee cupful of the "Quick and Easy," shave half a cake of soap, and add them to your boilerful of clothes. Boll half an hour. A good rinsing in your bluing water is all that is necessary, unless some collar or wristband is very much soiled—Harper's Bazar. Savory Orrelet. Cut tender, corn from two or three small ears. Take the seeds from a green sweet pepper. Mince finely half a cup of boiled ham or the same of dried beef which previously has been fried to a crisp; add a pinch of mixed herbs; salt to taste, using not so much salt if ham or dried beef is used. Beat four eggs well and add a pint of sweet milk. Mix all together and fry in oil or butter or bake ten minutes in the oven. A tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in milk gives body to it. Needlework Note. A clever woman has put her knowledge of basketry to good account in the fashioning of a whisk-broom holder. This consists of two disks of basket work similar to those used for the bottom of a fancy basket and caught together at the sides by large fluffy bows of three-inch satin ribbon, the color being a delicate pink in harmony with her room furnishings. A band of ribbons of narrow width, but matching in tone, is used to suspend the holder. Tinware. Paste a piece of stiff brown paper across the hole, by means of a cold water paste. Pour hot water into the pan and allow to stand awhile. No amount of scraping will remove it. The pan can be washed in hot or cold water. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire-$1.00.

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 Pudding. One pint boiling water, stir into this three tablespoons of corastarch, 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.

NOT TRUE To the Editor of The Bee: My attention has been called to an editorial in your issue of October 19, in which you quote an editorial from The Patrician, and then attribute to me the last paragraph of that quotation, as follows: "I imagine the character of the population of the District, and think what a change would mean. A word to the wise." Those are the words of the Editor of The Patrician, and not my words. No such words nor any statement of a similar character is in, my letter to the Washington Herald, to which you refer. I enclose a copy of the Washington Herald containing the letter to which you refer. You will see that it does not contain any such words of any. similar statement. As I know you would not do me an injustice I expect you to publish this letter on your editorial page, so that those who read the editorial may see the fact. MR. MACFARLAND'S DENIAL The Bee last week reproduced an excerpt from the Patrician (St. Patrick's Church), which made the distinguished Commissioner say what he never said or thought about saying. His communication to The Bee this week puts another construction on his communication to the Herald of September 23, 1907. The Editor of The Bee has carefully read the article referred to by the Patrician, and no such language attributed to Mr. Macfarland was used by him. Mr. Macfarland discusses the present form of government from his standpoint. Sentiments expressed by him are more declaratory than argumentive. He gives his opinion concerning the present form of government as being the best, but he gives no logical reason why two hundred and fifty thousand people should not vote and be permitted to elect their own rulers. The Bee will admit that many of the Commissioners have been men of the highest integrity, and had their selection been left to the people it is quite evident that two-thirds of them would have remained quiet citizens out of a job. The Bee has the highest respect for Commissioner Macfarland, and is confident that he is a high moral Christian gentleman, but why hasn't he appointed two or three representative colored citizens to office? Why hasn't he recognized the eighty or ninety thousand colored Americans in the District of Columbia? His associate, Mr. West, a Democrat, has given the colored population more consideration in the way of respectable appointments than the colored people's friend, Mr. Macfarland. Why is this? Mr. West is under no obligations to the colored people, and yet he has given them more recognition. The Bee will not say that Mr. Macfarland has intentionally ignored them, but it will say that Mr. West has intentionally recognized them and goes out of his way to do them favors. The Bee would not intentionally misrepresent Mr. Macfarland, and it is more than pleased to know that he didn't entertain the same sentiment towards the colored Americans in this city as his pre- decessor, Mr. Wight, once entertained. With pleasure Mr. Macfarland The Bee makes the correction because it will not knowingly misrepresent anyone. Again, Mr. Macfarland, there are several young colored men under the District government who are entitled to recognition, but they have been ignored. The Bee desires to call your attention to Mr. David Warner, next to Dr. Wm. Tinday in length of service, who is the instructor of men or new clerks appointed by the Commissioners, and you have not seen fit to promote above a clerkship. New men have been placed over him to assistant assessors, but Mr. Warner, no doubt one of the most competent clerks under the District government, has been given no consideration whatever. Now that Mr. Wilson is dead, why not promote Mr. Warner, The colored people are entitled to recognition, and if there is no prejudice against Mr. Clark on account of his color, there is very reason to believe that he will succeed Mr. Davis. PROHIBITION There is a great deal of talk in this country in favor of prohibition. The Bee said some time ago that there were greater evils in this country than drinking whiskey. No man is compelled to get drunk. No man is obliged to make a hog of himself. In all the Prohibition states, cities and towns in the United States there is more whiskey to be found than in those places where licenses are granted and whiskey is sold without restriction. You may go in North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa and many other states where the prohibition laws are enforced and you can obtain enough whiskey to drown yourself. If one-third of these prohibition advocates would employ the same time in establishing honest elections, good citizenship, eliminating "Jim Crow" cars, "Jim Crow" saloons and "Jim Crow" churches and other "Jim Crow" institutions they would do the country a service. Suppose a man does drink whiskey, whose business is it? Suppose he does get drunk, what have these temperance advocates to do with him? You very often hear a man say — in fact, many preachers say—that whiskey drinkers ought to be in the lower regions; but you will never hear these pious hypocrites condemn the man who ruins another man's daughter, outrages his wife or corrupts the morals of a good and happy home. You will find thousands of these prohibition advocates guilty of these very acts. Thousands of these prohibition advocates are moral lepers — the preacher not excepted. Watch the man, be he preacher or what not, but many of these preachers, especially those who cry out against whiskey and favor prohibition, are unfit to enter a decent home. If a man wants to drink whiskey, let him drink, and if he violates the law by virtue of drinking too much whiskey, let him be punished. Whiskey is distilled to drink; bread, meat and other things are purchased to eat. If you eat too much we are attacked very often with acute indigestion and die. If we drink too much whiskey it affects the heart and then we die. We die if we either eat or drink too much, no matter what it is. COLORED SCHOOLS The Colored Cijtzens' Committee will petition Congress to have the colored schools placed under colored control. Not in the history of our schools have they ever been in such condition and never were teachers so restrained from doing their duty. Today the colored teachers are restless, which naturally destroys their usefulness. Every week new rules are promulgated restraining teachers from doing any other work. Why is not this rule followed by our school officials? Why should teachers be restrained or prohibited from engaging in other vocations so long as they are not doing an injury to the schools? The Bee appeals to the Board of Education to promul- gate such rules that will protect the teachers against so much terrorism in our schools? If the superintendent of schools is allowed to teach out of the city while employed in our schools, why should teachers be restrained? The Bee doesn't say that any one should be condemned for earning an honest living if it doesn't conflict with any other duties that he is performing. The citizens of Washington should not remain longer silent when they see their schools outraged and their teachers ostracized. There is a great deal that is going on in our schools that the public knows nothing about. COLORED SCHOOLSA BAR? Why don't the colored citizens get a move on them? Do they intend to sit and see their school system destroyed by the enemy? The meeting that was held at the residence of Roscoe Bruce last week at times certain suggestions were made meant nothing. The Democratic Times, that dislikes the colored citizens, stated that those present agreed with the plans suggested by the superintendent. That may be all true enough, but those present don't represent the people in this city, and if they subscribed to what Superintendent Chancellor poked down their throats The Bee wants it understood that ninety thousand colored people in this city repudiate everything that this self-constituted admiration meeting swallowed. Dr. Francis represents Dr. Francis, Professor Moore speaks for Professor Moore, alone, H. C. has no thoughts of his own, hence he represents no one, not even himself. Professor Kelly Miller stands always upon the fence, and so far as Bob Terrell is concerned, he is not in the question. The people will express themselves on the school question Monday, November 4th. The monster petition that is being circulated and signed will speak in no uncertain tones on this question. If this self-constituted and non-representative committee imagines that it represents anything, The Bee would suggest that it issue a call for a meeting of the people and ask them to indorse this reign of terror in the schools; try it. The people will act and don't be alarmed. AT THE BARN DOOR The recent speech of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell before the Missionary Society of Cleveland, Ohio, reminds The Bee of an old story told by a slave in wartimes. An old slave told the others to cuss his master whenever he attempted to whip him. So the old man tried it and received a more severe whipping than any he had received. So when he met his old friend from whom he had received the advice he related to him what he had received by taking his advice. "Why, man, you is a fool. I didn't tell you to cuss your master to his face. I meant cuss him while he is in the house and you at the barn door." Mrs. Terrell always makes such "hot air" speeches a long distance from the scene of action. There is as much prejudice in the North as there is in the South, and if these bleached colored Americans who are roaming all over the country would cease attempting to pass for white and get down to their naturals there would not be any excuse for this tirade against the South. Perhaps if Mrs. Terrell would practice what she is preaching in Ohio there would be a great deal of virtue in what she is saying. MR. ELMER DOVER MR. ELMER DOVER There is no young man more qualified to be at the head of the Republican National Committee than Mr. Elmer Dover, at present secretary. He is in touch with all national characters, and at a moment's notice he is able to electrify the country. The Bee is anxious to see Mr. Dover at the head of the committee because he knows what to do. There is a vote that will be very necessary in 1908, and it is believed that Mr. Dover will be able to handle that vote because he is honored and respected by the The West Virginia Advocate wants to know if they don't have other excitements in this city than the schools. Just at this time the schools are the prevailing excitement. The Editor of the West Virginia Advocate ought to ask what will become of Du Bois if Editor Trotter drops him? Du Bois can do no harm to Editor Trotter. He is a patriotic and loyal American who loves honesty and fair play. The ancient editor of The National View, Mr. Roscoe Simmons, of New York, asks the Editor of The Bee if he did not think well of Bruce at one time. O, yes; God thought well of satan at one time, but when he rebelled against the Lord's anointed he sent him to Hades. See! Editor H. C. Bell, of the Odd Fellows' Budget, backs down and retires from the fight with The Bee. Did not Editor Bell call on the Editor of The Bee and ask for information concerning the arbitrary action of the Grand Master and Sub-committee of Management? Don't eat crow, Editor Bell. Editor Manning, of The Indianapolis World, takes Correspondent Thompson to task on his write up of Architect Pittman. If the Editor of The Bee did not know the distinguished Editor of the World he would conclude by saying that his eyes were filled with that green-eyed monster jealousy. Let it go at that, Editor Manning. "The notoriety the Governor of Virginia gained by his speech before the Bankers' Association at Atlantic City will prove no stepping stone for him." Well, Miss Chase, if it were not our governor, a Southern governor, the governor of Virginia, it would be doubtless as you say. But down here in these parts it is only necessary to "lynch the nigger" through the press, pulpit, on the hustings, in any kind of public assemblage, at funerals, or wherever—if you only hit the nigger, with your tongue, pen, fist, foot or pistol, if you will just go out of your way, leave your subject and abuse the "nigger," you are in line of promotion, from the preacher to bishop, from a roadside magistrate to the presidency of the United States. Miss Chase, this may sound extravagant, but all the Negroes south of the Potomac know it is a fact. When a white man has nothing else to do, then he abuses the "nigger." NEGRO NOT WANTED IN RAIL-WAY MAIL SERVICE—WHITE POSITIONS. Owing to the fact that white men in the South show no great interest in standing civil service examinations for the railway mail service, the postoffice is in a guardary. A few weeks ago examinations were held in various parts of the South for clerkships in the railway mail service (but eight out of ten of those who stood them were negroes. In one Southern city, officials of the postoffice department declare, every man who appeared to be examined was a Negro. The name of the city is not given. Many of the Negroes, it is understood, passed successfully, and now the department does not know what to do about it. The Negroes are not wanted, but how to get rid of them is a puzzle. Railway mail clerks are needed. Under the law governing the classified service, those who stand at the top of the eligibility list get first call. Of course, anybody who knows anything about the civil service knows that it is an elastic sort of affair, but the powers that be here in Washington always make an effort to keep up the appearances, and they do not like to have situations such as that with which the Postoffice officials are now confronted come up. One of the reasons why President Roosevelt put John A. McIlhenny on the Civil Service Commission was that he wanted the Louisianian to formulate and carry into effect a policy which would bring bright young white men and women of the South into the Government service. Commissioner McIlhenny has formulated a policy, and a good one at that. He has worked hard over it during the past year and has accomplished a great deal. But if the white men of the South will not stand the examinations the Negroes will get the jobs. As a matter of fact, the railway mail service is a branch of Government work that not many are anxious to take up, and therefore the failure of white men to take the recent examination need not be taken to mean that there is no interest among the white people of the South in the general question of getting into the Government employ through the civil service. On the contrary, Commissioner McIlhenny, since his trip through the South last spring, has received hundreds upon hundreds of letters which prove conclusively that interest is growing rapidly all the time. But this does not help the unfortunate Postoffice Department officials. They are face to face with a problem. They do not want Negroes in the railway mail service, but how can they help having them is a question. WHO ARE OUR FRIENDS? There is a class of people in this country who are constantly telling us that we are failures, that we can't succeed, for the world is against us. In short, they are constantly saying to the World, directly or indirectly, by word or by deed, that as a race we are no good. Some of these people are in the North. Others are in the South. Some of them are white people. Others of them are colored people. They put it in different words, but it amounts to this, that the Negro race is not strong enough to succeed in this country. White people who are constantly abusing us because of our mistakes, and colored people who are constantly advertising our weakness, are not our friends. Whether they teach the world to despise, or merely invite it to pity us, these people are not our friends. Friends are the people who believe in us, not the people who pity us. They are the people who rejoice with us in our success, but are too true to our best interests to overlook our faults. As a race, we have many friends in this country. We can make that number less by quarrelling among ourselves, by hunting up grievances and complaining about them, or we can increase our friends by burying our differences, and working united for those real and fundamental things which we are all agreed, and that we know to be good. We can increase the number of our friends by making our platform broad enough so that every honest man, whether North or South, black or white, can stand on it. We can increase the number of our friends in doing cheerfully and resolutely the things that are in our power to do, leaving those things that are not within our power to do to the wisdom, the justice, and good sense of the world. Let us turn our faces from the darkness to the dawn. We are making wonderful progress. As a people we already, at the end of a little more than forty years, own, as Principal Washington has pointed out, more farm land than is contained in the European States of Holland and Belgium combined. We are beginning to build cities and suburbs of our own. We have thirty-three banks. Thousands of our people, that a few years ago were slaves now own their own homes; hundreds of our business men now have fortunes that can be numbered in five or six figures. Our doctors, our lawyers, and our preachers are every year improving in their knowledge of their professions, and gaining in the respect of the world. Our friends are those who bid us hope; not those who bid us despair—Emmett J. Scott in Tuskegee Student. Believing your manly and courageous fight should command the support of every self-respecting Negro throughout the country, I take pleasure in sending you herewith two dollars for one year's subscription for your paper. I assure you that you have thousands of Negroes with you. Wishing you much success, I am, Yours truly. A Subscriber. MR. JAMES LUCUS There is a disposition on the part of the Plumbers Association in this city to prevent every colored man from obtaining a plumbers' license. The white plumbers have a monopoly. The colored citizens are at the mercy of this organization, and they are compelled to hire white plumbers and pay high prices for work that could be done cheaper and as good if colored men were not pushed to the wall. Some time ago Mr. James Lucus applied for a plumbers' license, but for some reason he could not obtain it. He was charged in the Police Court some time ago and fined twenty dollars for doing work better than a registered plumber could do. Mr Lucas enterprising man, and if he was a license The Bee is confident would give satisfaction GALBRAITH LAST SUNDAY There was a large audience last Sunday afternoon at the Church, the occasion was ercises under the auspices of Liveley's class of that church committee was Misses M.

A CORRECTION In The Bee two weeks ago, in speaking of the marriage of Miss Maud Lemas, the type said Harris,when it should have read Miss Lemas was married to Mr. Howell Howard. PITTMAN - WASHINGTON. From the Chicago Globe. Miss Portia Marshall Washington,only daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the well-known colored educator, is engaged to marry W. Sidney Pittman, a rising young colored architect of Washington, D. C. The wedding ceremony is carded to take place on Tuesday, October 31, at Tuskegee, Ala., at The Oaks, where the Washington family reside, rather than at the chapel of the Tuskegee Institute. In keeping with the quiet manner of Miss Washington it will not at all be public. Only some of the older teachers of Tuskegee and a few relatives and close friends of the bride and her groom-elect are listed to be present. Miss Lilla M. Taylor, of Boston, a long-time frien dof the bride, will be the only bridesmaid. Miss Taylor is a niece of Mrs. Dr. Samuel Courtney, of this city. The engagement, which has recently been quietly announced, dates back for some years. It meets the approbation of Dr. Washington and his family. The arrangements relative to the approaching wedding also meet his approval. Miss Washington within a few weeks has returned to Tuskegee from Berlin, where she went about two years ago, after her graduation at the Bradford, Mass., Academy, to further perfect herself in music and German. Last June, Mrs. Booker T. Washington went to Berlin, and after the completion of the course of her daughter, took her on a short European tour before returning to the United States. That Miss Washington is engaged to W. Sidney Pittman, together with the near approach of the wedding day—just a little over four weeks away—will undoubtedly be a great surprise to a great many of her New England friends and most especially to her fellow students at Hanover, Framingham, Wellesley, and Bradford, at which places the greater portion of her life in Massachusetts and New England has been spent. Portia Marshall Washington was born on the Tuskegee Institute reservation about twenty-four years ago. Her father then was struggling hard to get American philanthropists interested in his work there, which at that time was beginning to show the wholesome effects of industrial education upon the colored people of that community. Miss Washington is of slight figure and of medium height. She looks somewhat like her father. Of a retiring disposition, she does not care in the least for publicity. W. Sidney Pittman is a native of Montgomery, Ala., and graduated from TuskegeeNormal Institute in 1897.From Tuskegee he started out to make a man of himself. He went to Philadelphia, where, after considerable sacrifice and hard labor, he graduated from the architectural department of.Drexel Institute. Returning to Tuskegee, he threw himself into the building construction department of that institution, and also superintended the construction of several school buildings, including one for which C. P. Huntington donated $80,000. Two years ago Mr. Pittman went to Washington, D. C., and opened an office with $75 in cash. He had decided to try the experiment of independent practice, because, he says, there are a number of wealthy negroes in that city, and it is also a convention city. Inside of three months he was earning an independent living, and work has multiplied since then. He designed and superintended the construction of the Negro Building at the Jamestown Exposition, which cost $42,000, under Government contract, and he has secured much patronage from white and colored residents of the National Capital. He has also built a big Negro industrial school at Denmark, S. C., and recently his plans have been accepted for a Negro Young Men's Christian Association building at Washington, D. C., toward which John D. Rockefeller will donate $25,000 or $30,000, and for a training school for girls and women, which is to be built by Negro Baptist women in the District of Columbia. When he returns to Washington with his bride he will pu her in charge of a house designed, built and paid for by himself. THE MASONIC FAIR. The Grand Masonic Charity Fair closed its doors on on Friday night, October 18, ending one of the grandest of its kind ever held in the District of Columbia. The hall being filled each night with some branch of Masonry, Ladies of the Eastern Star, and their friends. On Thursday night, October 17, the Clover Club, eighty-four in number, Mr. Frank Gaines, president, attended the fair in honor of the chairman, J. Thomas Tasean, and after address of welcome by the chairman, and response by J. B. Askins, of the Clover Club, they with their ladies, under the marshalship of the only James Madison Jackson, repaired to the supper room, where they were served by the ladies of the Eastern Star.] Chairman Tisco deserves great credit for the success he had in his first effort to do something to build up his order financially. The hall was beautifully decorated and the many booths were attended by many sweet and beautiful ladies. A WEEK OF JUBILEE AT GAL- BRAITH The first week in November, beginning with Sunday, the 3rd, will be a jubilee for Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. It is intended that this week of rejoicing will climax a series of strenuous efforts by the church, under the leadership of Dr. S. L. Corrothers, to raise the sum of $2,000, about $700 of which have already been secured. The chief feature of the services on Sunday, November 33, will be the insertion of the cornerstone at 2 p.m., by the Knights of Jerusalem, as the one now in the building is too small and worn to distinctly mark the date and denomination of the church. Other fraternal organizations are invited to be present and assist. Monday evening November 4, will be Citizens and Educational Night. Some of the most popular orators of the city will speak. Among them will be the Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; Hon. H. B. MacFarland, Commissioner of the District of Columbia; Hon. B. H. Warner, of Columbia National Bank, and Dr. Thirkield, of Howard University. The music in general will be furnished by the choir of Galbraith Church. A solo will be rendered by Prof. John T. Layton and the Amphion Glee Club has been invited to render two numbers. No one should lose the opportunity to listen to this group of individuals, each of whom is a master in his particular line. Tuesday evening, November 5, there will be a class reunion of all the Methodist churches of the city, in which brief addresses will be delivered by representative men and women, followed by general testimonies. On Wednesday evening, November 6, all the fraternal organizations in the District of Columbia will take part in the services. General Purdy, of the Knights of Jerusalem; Grand Master of the United Order of Odd Fellows, William H. Houston; Chief Griffin, of the True Reformers; of the Masons, William H. Grimshaw, M. W. G. M. of the District of Columbia; Crispus Attucks, J. Aldridge Lewis, chief of organization. One among the chief features of the evening will be a speech delivered by the Hon. Harry H. Clark, well known politician and attorney at the District Bar. Clark is a bold and fearless advocate of a remedy by injunction for discrimination, by jim crow car laws, between white and colored inerstate passengers. He has made an elaborate study of Judge Pritchard's rulings in the recent rate cases, and of the Constitution of the United States, and will expound that part of this memorable document which supports his views. He is the author of a pamphlet covering a wide range of facts and figures pertaining to the political status of the Negro, and is a walking bureau of information as to the conditions of the Negro in general. The general public should not fail to hear what might prove to be the very remedy which has been so long sought for by the colored people in vain. Thursday evening, November 7, will be denominational night. There will be one or two selections rendered by every choir of the A. M. E. Zion connection in Washington, also one or two by the choirs of several Baptist churches, with brief remarks interspersed. Friday evening, November 8, there will be a ministerial concert, Dr. Francis Grimke, of the Presbyterian Church, presiding. The participants will no doubt agreeably surprise the listening audience by their musical accomplishments. There will be solos, duets, quartets and music upon stringed instruments. Rev. George W. Lee will sing a solo of his own composition. The program is as follows: Solo, Rev. Lewis Sheaf; selection, Ministerial Orchestra, Drs. A. C. Garner, L. M. Beckett, B. F. Seaton and Mooreland; brief remarks, Dr. Welch, of the A. M. E. Church; solo, Rev. George W. Lee; duet, Drs. W. H. Davenport and P. H. Williams; address, Dr. J. Anderson Taylor; solo, Dr. M. W. Clair; quartet, Drs. S. N. Brown, A. C. Garner, J. W. Smith and D. E. Wiseman; address, Dr. L. B. Moore; address, Dr. M. W. D. Norman; solo, Dr. B. T. Perkins; recitation, Dr. Walter H. Brooks. This rally will probably eclipse any in the history of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. The church, through her worthy pastor, Dr. S. L. Corrothers, cordially invites the public to attend. Come and help a man who stands for the highest development of his race, and never alights an opportunity to defend it when wrongfully assailed. THE F. E. GREEN CO. 818 19th St N. W. Washington, D. C.

The Prorer Diet for Little Folks At- tending School, Sa St ete re eae Copyright, 190;, The Delineator. New York. To the child in school, breakfast Is & meal that is of the utmost import- ance, especially when there Is to be nothing but a light lunch to help In tiding over the working houra of the day. In spite of this fact there are many homes In which Iittle thought Js given to the first meal. The mother may have no appetite for breakfast. The other adult members of the fam- Hy may feel just as she does abaut It, so, if it should chance that the chil dren are hungry, they are given just enough to stay the cravings of the ap- petite, and are sent to school entirely unprovided with grist to keep the physical and mental mills going. The duliness that {s shown by many children in this country fs not so much actual dullness as {t 1s lack of proper fuel, and the pathetic nervous breakdowns that are so common among sehool-children may {n many instances be traced to the scanty or badly prepared breakfasts with which they have been accustomed to begin the day. In arranging a dietary for a child the mother should try to make some effort to discriminate between the foods that are merely filling and those that are nourishing. For example, it is not at all impossible that a child might eat so. much as to be really un- comfortable, and yet actually be starved, for it is only the nourishing food, the food that Is properly assim- ilated, that supplies the great force that is required to keep both the body and the mind growing, _ Difficult as it Is to prescribe a gen- eral dietary for children, it 1s atill safe to say that a school-child’s breakfast should comprise some such articles.as the following: There should be some fresh, seasonable and not over-ripe fruit; a thoroughly cooked cereal, which should be served with unskim: med milk, or, better yet, with pure, fresh cream; eggs prepared In some easfly digestible form—never fried; a broiled lamb chop, or a piece of tender steak, with toasted bread, or .whole wheat muffins, and plenty of good, sweet milk. If the child does not Hike milk, a cup of cocoa will be found agreeable and nourishing as well as mildly stimulating. If the child goes to school so far from home that a basket lunch Js nec- essary, no less care should be taken In preparing this mateshift for a meal, It should be put up daintily, the various kinds of food being neatly wrapped in ‘olled paper. To send a child to school with a lunch composed of “any old thiag” arranged in a hap- bazard manner {s to invite all kinds of Ils to take possesston of the little stomach, The first thing, of course, is to be sure that the lunch box or basket is absolutely clean. Then cut several pleces of olled 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 assuage the cray- ings of hunger. In snother packet place some tasty sweet. Avold ple as- slduously, but any cake that fs not too rich, and that has only a plain fing, will answer the purpose nicely. Frult, too, should be added, with some crisp cookies, or ginger wafers, but do not be tempted to Insert any candy, vunless you chance to have a supply pt absolutely pure maple sugar. Easy Hours Cleaning. . I have found that the upheaval which occurs In the spring and fall house cleaning can be entirely done away with and Infinitely better re- sults obtained. My plan is to take @ room at a time whenever {t seems Very dusty and clean Its walls and woodwork, as well as carpet or hard- wood floors and rugs. The day this 1s done the other cleaning need not ‘be so thorough, A room at a time in this way does not inconventence the entire household, and, too, pre- vents the great accumulation of dust whlch comes with waiting tor spring and fall cleaning.

Take Sewng Easily. The sewing in many housesolds {s left, Mke the housecleaning, for a general disturbance of happiness, comfort, and health when, if a little system were used, the burden would be lighter. For Instance, every house needs napkins, table cloths, pillow cases, washrags and towels, The peaceful «method {s to secure these long before they are actually needed, and do the sewing at odd times. Cut carefully by the thread the twelve napkins, folding each one.in clean tis- sue paper. Then when time lags, sew a nupkin—ditto tablecloth. In ke manner tear from the muelln half a dozen pillow cases. When the hands are {dle, overseam the sides and bottom, and baste the hem. This can be done while conversing with a friend. Put in fifteen minutes at the machino finishing them, and you haré- ly know when you have made your pillow cases or hemmed your Nnen.— Mrs. Babb. - Handy Contrivance.

Pemaquid Harbor, Me.—Pemaquid is at last coming into its own again. Thanks to J. Henry Carlland, of Pemaquid Harbor, the legislature of Maine and the admirable work of Architect Austun W. Pease, of Portland, Me., Fort William Henry is soon to bloom again in all its old splendor and strength. Jamesetown, Va., is not alone with its tencentenary celebration, for the like anniversary of the short-lived "North Virginia" (or Poseham) colony and the beginning of ship building in the United States has recently been observed at Bath, Me. Nor is Provincetown, Mass, unique in laying the cornerstone of a massive monument to commemorate the first landing of the Pilgrims on the shores of America. Work has begun on ro建ing the "castle" of Fort William Henry. It is at Pemaquid, midway between the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers, Me: This monument inclosing the "rock of Pemaquid" commemorates the first landing of the Popham colony on the mainland of Maine, 13 years before the Leyden refugees touched foot on the sands of Cape Cod, and likewise marks the extreme eastern English outpost in New England—the site of four forts, for nearly two centuries the barrier against French possession of our eastern territory. Any grammar school boy will tell you that Fort William Henry—a timber and earthwork entrenchment at the head of Lake George, N. Y.—was captured by the French in 1757, and that part of its brave defenders were massacred by the savages, but—such is the neglect of historians and teachers—not one in 10,000 ever heard of the massive stone Fort William Henry of Main, strongest and most expensive fortress ever erected in the United States, captured by three French men of war and a land force of Indians 61 years before! The second fort at Pemaquid—Fort Charles—was destroyed in 1689 by a force of Indians under the noted Baron de Castin, and the eastern country devastated. In 1692 Sir William Phils was appointed royal governor of New England, with special instructions for the establishment of a strong fortress here to keep the French at bay. In August, Phils arrived at Pemaquid, bringing the great guns from the ruins of Fort Royal, Falmouth (Portland), laid out the work and left 100 men to finish it. According to Cotton Mather, the only original English authority on the 1607 FORT ROCK OF PEMAQUID. Place of First Landing of the Popham Colony in Maine. subject. Fort William Henry was a quadrangle, 737 feet in circumference, with walls six feet or more thick; 22 feet high on the seaward side, ten feet in the rear, 12 on the east and 12 on the west side. In assauling Fort Charles, the savages had hidden behind immense granite rock near the shore, from which shelter they toured a murderous fire. This was enclosed by the "southwest flank" a round tower or castle, 29 feet high commanding the bay river. In the revolution the fort was torn down by the inhabitants to prevent English occupation. As it obstructed then, view, subsequent owners of the property carted off much of the front walls, throwing them down the river bank or using them for building purposes. Some 15 years ago J. Henry Cartland came here, became interested, and organized a society to excavate and preserve the relics of Penaqual. At that time the Fort Rock was always covered by debris, shrubs, etc. A little excavating soon brought to light the original foundations of Fort William Henry, as sound as when first and 200 years before. In 1904, after a seven years' persistent effort and action, the legislature grudgingly appropriated $2,500 and a commission was appointed by the governor. Nothing further was accomplished until a bill granting $2,000 more was passed last winter. The long desired work of rebuilding the old castle to its original height of 29 feet was begun April 1 from the plans of Austin W. Lewis, architect, Portland. It will allow a fireproof museum for the exhibition of the many precious relics here, portraits of those connectors, its altery, etc. At the present some of these a.e. shown in a little wooden building, and many more are stored away for lack of exhibition room. A CHOIR SCHOOL FOR BOYS. Splendid Episcopal Institution Just Dedicated at Washington. Washington.—The Lane-Johnston Memorial building of the Washington Cathedral Choir School, just completed on the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral grounds on Wisconsin avenue, St. Albans, D. C., marks a new departure in educational work. The late Mrs. Harriet Lane-Johnston, niece of President Buchanan, bequeathed to the cathedral foundation $300,000 for the building and endowment of a choir school for boys, in which the pupils should receive a thorough training in church music, as well as in the studies of a preparatory school for college. The completed memorial building is regarded as a model school for boys, and is believed to be the best arranged and best equipped structure of its kind in the United States. It NEW CHOIR SCHOOL FOR BOYS. Splendid Gift to Episcopallan Church by Niece of President Buchanan. NEW CHOIR SCHOOL FOR BOYS. Splendid Gift to Episcopallian Church by Nicee of President Buchanan. Is a fireproof construction of Potomac stone, three stories high, and is the Gothic style of architecture. The building is in the form of a letter E, so familiar In the structures of Tudor period of English architecture. In the small or middle arm of the E is a self-contained eight-room house for the headmaster and his family, with its separate entrance and staircases, but opening on each floor into the main school building, thus com- bining the privacy of a home with im- mediate access at all times to the students and their work. The west arm of the E contains the educational features of the school, the study hall, the class rooms and the laboratories, and in this wing is the entrance for day pupils. In the east arm are the dining room, the kitchen and housekeeping departments and a steam laundry provided with drying facilities, electric irons and a full equipment of the latest labor-saving devices. The kitchen arrangements are equally complete, and the entire bulding is lighted by electricity. On the second floor are the dormitories for the boarding pupils with individual cubicles, or sleeping rooms, arranged after the manner of those at Groton school, and each dormitory is provided with shower baths in addition to the usual bathrooms. The master in charge of each dormitory has a sleeping apartment and study of his own, with open fireplaces in them. A self-contained suite of sitting room, bedroom and bath is provided for the matron of the school, connecting with the linen and serving room. There is also a large gymnasium for physical training. Wireless Money Lending. One of the most interesting types on the American track is the professional money lender. Money leading is absolutely forbidden, and so the entire transaction must be conducted sub rosa, but if a person who is "on" goes broke, and he has some article of jewelry of value with him, it is easy for him to realize money on it. The lender is an irreproachably dressed person who sits on the grandstand with the rest of the crowd, and is known in his true colors only to the habitues of the track. A man who wants some capital makes an unobtrusive sign to him, and twirls a ring he may be wearing at the time. Shortly afterward both will proceed to a restaurant, where, for the benefit of lookers, they will greet each other as ordinary acquaintances. The exchange is then made over the drink they order; the loan broker has the ring and the better his capital. If the latter cashes in on the next race, he will return the money and the agreed upon premium and will receive back his ring.—The Bohemian. Cardinal Manning's Tomb The long-deferred monument to the memory of the late Cardinal Manning is at last to be erected—a movement being on foot to place an effigy in bronze over the cardinal's resting place in the crypt of the Westminster cathedral. The form of the memorial is to be a recumbent figure of the prelate clad in the full vestments of an archbishop. A panel of red marble in front of the tomb will bear a suitable inscription, recording the rank and dignity of the late Cardinal. The sarcophagus will be carved with the armorial bearings of his eminence, and also the arms of the See of Westminster. The cost of the memorial is estimated at from $3,000 to $3,500, of which about one-third is already in hand.—Westminster Gazette. Same Thing. "Did you mean," thundered the flowery orator, "by your recent statement that my veracity was not impregnable to the assault of a categorical verification?" "No, I didn't," replied the plain citizen. "I just meant you were a liar"—Baltimore American. VARIETY OF DISHES MANY RECIPES AND ALL OF THEM GOOD ONES. Suggestions for Savory Dishes That Will Tempt the Jaded Appetites of the Entire Family. Cauliflower and Potato Souffle—Three ounces of mashed potatoes, three ounces of the white part of cauliflower, half ounce of butter, three eggs, half teaspoonful salt, scant half teaspoonful of pepper; beat the eggs well, whites and yolks separately; then add the potatoes, the cauliflower, chopped fine, and the seasonings; stir all well together, then fill small greased shells with the mixture and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. A small ball of butter placed on the top will help to brown them, and any flavoring of chopped onion, parsley or herbs are an improvement. . . . A Salad of Cold Vegetables—This is an economical salad, as it can be made from whatever cold vegetables have been left from yesterday's dinner, such as peas, string beans, cauliflower, potatoes or beets. Cut them into small pieces, then place on the ice; when ready to serve line a salad dish with crisp lettuce leaves; put the cold vegetables in these and pour over a French dressing. . . . Scotch Apple Tart—Peel and core a half dozen tart apples and place in a crock in a slow oven, adding neither water nor sugar. When tender mix in Sultana raisins, allowing a quarter of a pound to each pound of apples. Turn into a deep baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon; cover with a top crust, pricking well to allow for the escape of steam, and bake in a quick oven. Serve with milk. . . . English Apple Tart—Peel and core tart apples, put into a large saucepan, cover with boiling water; stew gently until the apples are tender, but unbroken. Line the edges of a deep pie tin with crust, then fill the center of the dish with apples, dropping into the center of each a spoonful of orange marmalade. Cover the top of the dish with strips of pastry arranged lattice fashion and bake quickly until brown. Serve hot. . . . Ham and Egg Loaf—Chop remains of cold bolled ham, and crushed crackers and from three to six eggs, well beaten, according to the amount of your meat. Bake in small tin, and when cold it can be sliced. . . . Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Wafers—A recipe for pumpkin wafers has been handed down in one household for generations. This is the way they are made: After preparing the pumpkin in the usual way by paring it and removing the seeds it is steamed until it becomes very dark, rich and thick looking, then sugar is added to taste, and it is cooked a second time in a moderately heated oven. When dry and thick it is of the right consistency to be rolled out on a floured board, and shaped with the tin cutter. The wafers are placed on plates, and when thoroughly dry are wrapped in oiled paper. They will keep indefinitely, and besides being delicious for afternoon tea, a few of them, dissolved in milk and the necessary ingredients added make a home-made pumpkin pie possible in a short time. . . . Bacon and Apples—Slice bacon thin and fry it crisp. Transfer to a platter and keep it hot while you fry thick slices of unpeeled sweet apples in the bacon fat. When these are tender, drain and put in the center of a hot platter. Lay the fried bacon about the edge of the dish, sprinkle sugar over the apples and serve. . . . Raisin Bread—Scald a pint of milk and beat into it a teaspoonful of melted butter and one of salt. When the mixture is lukewarm add half a yeast cake dissolved in a half cupful of hot water and beat in enough flour to make a good batter. Set in a warm room to rise for eight hours. Beat hard, add a cupful of flour and work in a cupful of halved and seeded raisins, plentifully dredged with flour. Set to rise until light, then bake. Cream Sandwichas — Make nice short pastry and roll it rather thin, and cut three inches long and one and one-half inches wide, and bake in a hot oven. When done a light brown, brush over with the yolk of an egg; cut lenghtwise, and spread with raspberry jam, to form a sandwich. Put on whipped cream plentifully, and on the cream a stiff froth, made of a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and the white of an egg. Cabbage and Tomato Pickle—Four quarts of chopped red cabbage, two quarts of chopped green tomatoes, two green peppers, chopped, one quart of good cider vinegar, four cupfuls of sugar, one heaping teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, mustard, and black pepper. Mix and cook thoroughly. Orange Jumbles—One pound of butter, one pound of sugar, two pounds of flour, three eggs, juice of two oranges, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, pinch of salt. Roll thin, and bake in a quick oven, sprinkling with sugar before baking. Do not use flavoring extract instead of orange juice, for the juice provides just the quantity of moisture to mix well. STARVED ROCK DOOMED. Famous Pile on the Illinois River Slowly Disintegrating. Utica, Ill.—Starved Rock, considered by many the most beautiful scenic resort in Illinois, and rich in historical interest, is said to be slowly disintegrating, due to the action of the Illinois river, which flows at its base and which is gradually wearing the sandstone that forms the composition of the famous pile. The report that this rock is in danger of extinction recalls to mind the pathetic story which gave it an enduring place in Illinois history and makes it an object of intense interest to the thousands of tourists from all over the United States who annually visit it. Starved Rock is located in La Salle county, and the surroundings appear ```markdown ``` FAMOUS STARVED ROCK. Its Destruction Said to Be Only a Question of Time. FAMOUS STARVED ROCK. Its Destruction Said to Be Only a Question of Time. Like a section of Colorado scenery, dropped by some freak of nature in the prairie lands of Illinois. It is a beautiful varance from the monotonic level plains that at most other points mark the Illinois soil. Some glacial freak ages ago is supposed to have brought about the strange formation, creating a valley 100 feet lower than the level of Lake Michigan and forming palsades along the Illinois river that have great scenic attractiveness. The rock rises abruptly from the water to a height of 157 feet, and from all sides presents a, bold and rugged appearance. About the year 1770 a series of melancholy incidents occurred in the territory of the Illini tribe of Indians, the memories of which gave to the rock its name. Its beauty, is unchanged from that which marked it when it was first seen by white men, Marquette and Joliet, the famous French explorers, in 1673. Here is found in miniature, the wonder work of water and stone. There are hidden, rocky-walled inlets decorated with ferns and lichens, with some lone cedar or pine, standing lofty on an inaccessible, rocky ledge. Marquette and Joliet landed opposite the rock on the plain upon which the great: Indian village of the Illini was situated. In 1681, La Salle, who was given the right to trade with the Indians by Louis XIV., erected a fort upon the rock, calling it Fort St. Louis. This fort was later destroyed. The final tragedy, which gave the rock its name was caused by the murder of Pontiac, the great Pottawatomie chief, by one of the Illini. TELLS THE WHOLE STORY. Civil Service Applicant Willing to Give Complete Information. The civil service commission has received something unique in the way of a communication from Buckley Levin, an applicant for the position of janitor of a post office building in an Ohio town. It seems the blank furnished him to fill out was not explicit enough in its answers for the commission, which sent it back for more information concerning the antecedents of the applicant. Here is Levin's reply: "I was born in Melgsville, Morgan county, Ohio, the eighteenth day of April (have forgotten the hour), 1855; am 53 years six months and 16 days old. My father was born on the thirty-first day of December, 1817, in Guernsey county, Ohio. He is 82 years ten months and 14 days old. My grandfather was born at South Acworth, Mass., A. D. 1765; have forgotten the month and day. He had 24 children—15 boys and nine girls. He is dead now. "His father, my great grandfather, was born in Londonderry, Ireland; don't know the date. He was one of triplets, three boys being born at once. I don't know whether he was first, second or third at that birth, but I think I could find out if necessary."—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Morgan's Many Clubs. J. Pierpont Morgan belongs to four times as many clubs as does the king of England. His royal highness is a member of twelve, while Mr. Morgan has his name on the lists of at least 50. Occasionally he visits some of them, while in the case of most of them he never has been inside their doors. Once a member of a club he never resigns. WOOED IN AN AUTO LOVELY SINGER WHO IS TO WED IN GERMANY. America. Boston.—Woood and won on a sight-seeing automobile away out in Seattle, Washington, Marie Sophia Brodygnski has just set sail for this city, bound for the continent. In Dresden, Germany, she will meet the man who carries her heart with him, a heart which now belongs to him because he could sing and sing well. So can she, and their, courting was carried on in songs from a famous opera while the announcer on the auto was telling about the points of interest in the far-off northwestern city. Early in the life of the soon-to-be bride, she thrived and prospered in the mixed atmosphere of convent seclusion and the brilliant gayettes of the Austrian court. Before she had reached her 18th year, she had to flee from her native land and go to Russia because of the emperor's displeasure due to the fact that two of his noblemen had fought a duel over the right to seek her hand in marriage. Hardly had she entered Russia, however, when her mother, who left Austria with her, fell in love with the Grand Duke Boris. This escapade of the elder Brogdyskni lift the younger woman practically alone, but her charm of manner and excellence of taste and judgment concerning matters of court, soon won her a way into the graces of the elite of the Czar's land. Soon a favorite with the czar, Miss Brodgynski was one of the honored guests at the palace. She advanced with the leaders of that mighty court; she listened to words of admiration from the lips of Nicholas; she was petted and flattered above all the others until she aroused the envy and jealousy of the noblewomen. After a somewhat brief career as a leader among the social leaders at St. Petersburg, the attention of the czar shifted to some other favorite and Russia was no longer that home of which she was pleased. She was accused of plotting against the life of the emperor and he listened to her accusers, and to escape deportation to Siberia she fled to London. There thrown on her own resources, she MARIE SODHIA BRODGYNSKI Joined a comic opera company, her charming voice winning her great favor. After singing there for three seasons she came to America, and at last found herself at Seattle whither she had gone in search of friends, and that is where her romance began. The lucky man in the case is Lionel Harrison, or Harry Lyon, as he is better known to the people of Seattle, where he worked as clerk in a leading hotel, and sang when opportunity offered. But no one dreamed that Harrison spent his winters in Germany studying the language and grand opera at Bayreuth, while during the summers prior to this he traveled with light opera companies and saved every penny he could to help defray the expenses incident to his life work on the stage. He had accepted an engagement this summer with a company at a fair salary, as usual. But the money was not for them evidently, and the "show closed." Lyon settled in Seattle with two cents. He began to look for a job and landed behind a hotel desk, while he hired a room at another and cheaper one and kept his voice flexible by daily work at the parlor plano. One day he started out to look at Seattle on the big auto. He sat on the back seat. Shortly after a bewitching type of brunette was given a place at his side. She looked curiously at him and finally asked if he did not remember her. Lyon leanced forward and said: "I am sure that I do remember you! You sang with me in Convent Garden, London, in 'The Bohemlan Girl', did you not?" That settled it. The most vociferous notes from the megaphone failed to arouse them. The spieler was disgusted and pronounced them "deaf, dumb and blind!" They saw little of Seattle, but much of each other, and when Lyon left the hotel recently for the east, Maile had preceded him by a week. They will meet in Dresden, Germany. FILIPINO EOY'S RECORD. The Remarkable Ability Displayed by Claro Zumel. New York.—It is a far cry from the primitive little school-house of Spanish times, in a northern province of the Philippines, to an up-to-date business college with hundreds of students in New York city—from a tiny Hocano shaver in a single garment, assiduously studying the "three Rs" in his native tongue, to a well-educated, well-dressed young man of 21, who is graduated in English, stenography and typewriting—one of six out of a class of 55—after a course of only six months, as an "intelligent and competent amanuensis." Yet this is the record of Claro Zumel, who has lived less than one year in the United States. If there are many Filipinos as ambitious, as industrious and as capable as he, the J. Filipino Youth Who Has Won an Education Against Great Odds. Filipino legislature, which is to be convened in October by Secretary Taft, will soon become a real power in the government of the islands. Born in San Miguel de Samat, a little barrio outside of Laoag, the capital of Ilocos Norte, the youngster, whose father was a tax collector, early conceived the idea of getting an education. To carry out his plans, he helped his mother to raise rice, tobacco and tree cotton mornings and evenings, and spent all his days in the public school. When he was 14 he went to Manila, where he worked in one of the convents of the Spanish frilars for a year at the munificent wage of 25 centavos (12½ cents) per month. The following year he entered another church school, where he not only worked hard the greater part of the time for the padres, but began Latin and continued his other studies with the avowed purpose of becoming a priest. Three years later, on the breaking out of the Filipino revolution, he left the college, since he "no longer wished to have nothing to do with the Spaniards," and, destitute of money and with no friends who were able to help him, he went to work as a muchacho. But he had not lost his ambition—he had only changed its object, having decided that he wanted a commercial education, and the diploma received by him last week, thousands of miles away from his old home, is the fruition of that purpose. ROYAL DOCTORS REWARDED. Heraldic Lion Granted by King Edward to Two of His Physicians. London.—King Edward, of England, the "fountain of honor," has granted to Sir Frederick Treves and Sir Frances Lakinger. Baronets, the latter his physician in ornary and surgeon apothecary and the former his sergeant surgeon, an honorable augmentation to their shields of arms in recognition of their skill and attention during his dangerous illness in 1902. The honorable augmentation consists of one of the lions of England as borne on the King's own royal arms— Lion Shield of Sir Frederick Treves with Augmentation. a lion passant guardant, gold, on a field gules (red). The shield of Sir Frederick Treves with the augmentation is shown here. The only other instance in which the charges of the royal shield were permitted to be borne on the shield of a member of the medical profession occurred in 1612, when James I, granted to Gideon Lelaune, his apothecary, who obtained the charter for the Apothecaries' society, the gold Mon passant guardant of the royal shield, as well as a feur lys of France, which was then also a charge upon it.
