VOL.27 NO.23 BRUCE CONFESSES ROSCOE CONKLING INVESTIGATED — THE EVIDENCE CONVICTS HIM. The long expected investigation of Roscoe Conkling Bruce took place in the new Board room of the Board of Education Thursday afternoon, October 24th. It was long after the designated hour before Capt. James F. Oyster called the investigating committee to order. There had been many rumors that the investigation woul not be held; that Bruce had sent a letter to CtptainOyster pleading with him not to investigate him, and in addition speaking disparagingly of Editor Chase. This letter will be used against him, thus showing his continued malice. It was 4:30 p.m. when Captain Oyster called the committee to order. Mr. Stewart McNamara acted as attorney for the Board and Bruce. The committee consisted of Messrs. Oyster, Horner, Cook, Cox, and Hoover. The attorney stated that the letter of Mr. Chase should be read. Mr. Cox read the letter and Mr. Chase was called upon to make a statement. As he was making his statement the attorney for the Board objected. Mr. Chase.—I thought you wanted all the facts. I was under the impression that you wanted to know the persons who were selling the schools. Mr. Horner.—I think that Mr. Chase should be allowed to tell all. Why should we smother anything? Captain Oyster—I think that he should confine himself to his letter. Mr. Chase.—I demand that Dr. Chancellor be made one of the defendants. He is as guilty as Bruce and should be made to answer. The chairman, Captain Oyster, put the question, and the vote stood Messrs. Cox and Hoover in the negative and Mr. Horner in the affirmative, and Mr. Cook not voting at all. The Chancellor proceeded to state that Dr. Chancellor was as guilty as Bruce and should be made one of the defendants. However, he said that he had read the letter of Bruce to the Superintendent and the copy to Captain Oyster, which he declared were false and malicious, and Bruce knew at the time he penned them that they were false. Mr. Chase further stated that he had a talk with Dr. Chancellor, who declared that he never made public the letters and that he did not know the reason or motive Bruce had and if I proved that Bruce lied on me he would dismiss him at once, and asked me to name a good man. I hesitated and said that if I should name one the charge would be that I was paid. However, I suggested the names of Attorneys Napoleon Marshall and Gregory, men of great executive ability. At this point the attorney for the Board objected. Mr. Chase—As I was about to say, Dr. Chancellor stated that Gregory did not pass the examination. I remarked that it was not true. I was informed of Williams' appointment before the examination. Dr. Chancellor was anxious to know something about it, but I refused to tell him. Dr. Chancellor said that from his investigation he had not found one thing against me. The motive behind Bruce's attack remarked Mr. Chase, was jealousy, and the supposed influence that I had with the Board of Education. Mrs. Syphax Gibson was called, and she stated that she had trouble with Bruce while at Tuskegee, which was personal, and which was the motive for dropping my name from the list of night school teachers. I was appointed by Dr. Evans, who sits there (pointing in the direction of Dr. Evans). I never was an applicant for a teachership in the night schools, and neither did I apply for it. I was an applicant for a day school. I went to Mr. Bruce when he was supervising principal and asked him to recommend me for librarian. He told me he could not because his superior officer, Dr. W. S. Montgomery, was opposed to me. I said to him that I had heard that Mr. W. Calvin Chase had a great deal of influence, and I thought about going to see him, but as he is a lawyer I suppose I would have to pay him about fifty dollars. He advised me not to go, and said further that he would not like Mr. Chase to know that he told me, because he thinks well of me and my late father. I did not go, and neither have I seen Mr. Chase for ten years. I know Mr. Chase's sisters better than I know him. In a very dramatic attitude she pointed her finger in the direction of Bruce and declared in a voice loud enough to be heard distinctly all over the room, and exclaimed: "Mr. Bruce, you know you told a malicious falsehood!" This was an exciting scene in this drama. Bruce had the appearance of THE BEE WASHINGTON a frightened man, which did not cause Mrs. Gibson to desist in her denunciation of him. Attorney McNamara asked Mrs. Gibson had she ever said anything to Mr. Chase about a school. Mrs. Gibson.—No. sir; never in my life. Mr. McNamara—How did you know that Mr. Chase had any influence? Mrs. Gibson.—I heard so from different persons. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, testified that he went to school with Mrs. Gibson and knew her to be a worthy and competent lady. Several of her friends recommended her to me, and I knew her worth; hence I appointed her. Mr. McNamara.—Was Mr. Chase one of the persons who had recommended her? Dr. Evans.—No, sir. Mr. Chase.—This closes my case for the present. Captain Oyster.—Mr. Bruce, do you desire to make a statement? Bruce.—I know Mrs. Gibson and noticed her name among the list of night school teachers. I informed Dr. Evans that I could not recommend her appointment because she had informed me that she had paid Mr. W. Calvin Chase fifty dollars for obtaining a night school for her. Captain Oyster.—Any gentleman wish to ask him any questions? Mr. Chase.—I desire to cross-examine him. Bruce, what you have testified to is as true as everything that you have written or said, is it? Bruce.—Yes, sir. Mr. Chase.—I have a letter dated September 18, 1907, written to the Superintendent against Dr. Lucy Moten. Do you know anything about it? Bruce—No, sir. Mr. Chase.—Let me read it. Before Mr. Chase had read five lines of the letter Attorney McNamara objected to the reading, and Captain Oyster asked that he be allowed to see the letter. Mr. Chase.—I suppose you all would like to know where I got it. Captain Oyster.—No; I don't care to know. Mr. McNamara.—The letter has no bearing on the case. Mr. Chase.—I want to know if this letter he wrote against Dr. Lucy Moten is as true as the one he wrote against me and to attack his credibility as a witness. Mr. McNamara.—You can't test it in that way. Mr. Chase (turning to the attorney for the Board)—Do you mean to say that a man who writes libelous letters cannot be shown other libelous letters by him? Mr. McNamara.—O, yes! a man who libels people. Mr. Chase.—You all don't seem to want the truth. If you want to know who has been selling schools, investigate the recommendations to the High School. Mr. Horner.—Mr. Chase, I see in your letter that you stated that the last appointed your were instrumental in making was for a member of the present Board of Education. Mr. Chase.—Yes; it was for the husband of Mary Church Terrell to the High School. It was the last; and I prayed to God that I would make no more, and I have kept my promise. Mr. McNamara.—Not under the present administration? Mr. Chase.—No; about ten years ago, I have not made any since. This closed the investigation, and Captain Oyster said that the committee would report at the next meeting of the School Board. The committee retired for consultation. BRUCE CONFESSES. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, has confessed to Capt. James F. Oyster that he was not responsible for the libelous letter that he penned against the Editor of The Bee, but that he wrote it at the dictation of W. E. Chancellor, Superintendent of Public Instruction. It is presumed that the investigating committee will reconvene and try Chancellor, as the entire letter is a malicious falsehood. In view of the alleged sworn affidavit of Bruce and his testimony before the investigating committee can do no more than dismiss both Bruce and Chancellor. The latter stated in the presence of Attorney's Chase, Scott and Jones that he did not know why Bruce wrote such a letter, and it is now stated by Bruce that Chancellor directed him to write it. It will be seen that this entire story was manufactured because Editor Chase denounced Chancellor's speech against the colored schools at the Mount Pleasant Citizens' Association, which is as follows: WASHINGTON, D.

THE OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION In connection with the matter of the proclamation of the Oklahoma Constitution by the President, a delegation of prominent Negro citizens has been in Washington for several days. Among these are J. Coady Johnson, a leading lawyer and business man of Wenoka, L. T.; H. C. Reed, of Boyington, a substantial citizen of the Creek tribe; M. J. and A. G. W. Sango, of Muskogee, and William Harrison, a rising young lawyer, of Oklahoma City. With the announcement by the President that he would sign the instrument on November 16 disappeared the last vestige of hope for the success of the opposition of the delegation to such action. The mission, however, of Mr. Johnson and his party is not without beneficial results. They have had numerous audiences with prominent members of the Administration and have made clear their unalterable opposition to the spirit of the Constitution and its possible effects upon Republican politics in the new State.

Sidney Pittman, were compelled to forego the trip on account of serious illness in the family. It was a great disappointment to Ex-Judge Davis and his wife because they are great admirers of Professor Washington and his work at Tuskegee. They will, however, greet the bride and groom on their return to this city. ITEMS ON THE WING. Rev. T. H.

RACE PREJUDICE IN THE DEPARTMENTS. Colored Clerks Ignored — White and Colored Schools Discussed — Bruce's Libel. From the Colorado Statesman. Nearly two years ago PresidentRoosevelt, in his commendable desire to lift the public service out of time-worn ruts and place it upon a plane of higher efficiency, appointed a commission to examine into the work and methods of work in the different departments of the Government, the grading and compensation of employees and other details affecting the efficient work of the great Federal machine. This commission, composed of high officials of the various departments, with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Keep at its head, after assiduous and untiring efforts in the performance of its duties, has now completed its labors; and results and recommendations, it is understood, are now in the hands of the Executive. A brief preliminary review by the public press summaries the conclusions that have been reached by the commission, as commending in a general way the operations of the Civil Service, but criticising in unmistakable language the opportunities for favoritism in the established methods of advancing employees to higher grades in the departments. The recommendations, it is understood, will operate to fix a standard and thereby reduce the prerogatives which in this connection have hitherto lodged with special officers. Such a reform will doubtless be hailed with much satisfaction by the large number of Negro employees in the various offices of the Government. The discrimination and injustice whic" have been their portion have been so long in operation that those in authority seem to feel that the Negro is a thing apart and that as such they are bountifully well paid with a minimum of salary, for the same work for which the more favored class receives a third or half as much again. The fault is not with the Civil Service idea, but with those who have been placed in the position to interpret and are supposed to fairly execute the same. Many of these are those whose education, environment and social history are such as to preclude the possibility of an equitable consideration and treatment of Negroes, when in competition with and emulation of their white fellows. A higher standard is set for these, an with faithful, conscientious effort, diligent application, and pronounced efficiency (for this is conceded to Negro employees of the Government) they have grasped the situation and proved themselves equal to all requirements; still their progress, save in rare instances, is as a snail's pace when placed against this rapid stride of a fleeing hare. Evidences of this are not wanting in most departments, and as an illustration may be cited the case of a young man of brain and worth and a graduate in law. He was appointed as a laborer some ten years ago, and by examination has been eligible to a clerkship for several years, yet men of the other race who have been appointed and become qualified since have long ago been placed on the roll as clerks while he is still eft to wait and hope. Another was appointed to a messengership fourteen years ago, within a few months of the entrance upon duty of severa white men at the same grade and salary. One of these men is now enjoying a salary of $1,600, the others are receiving $1,400; he $1,000. He is reported as efficient, in all respects worthy, and has been repeatedly recommended for advancement by his immediate superiors. Again it is almost incredible that in ten years five Negro clerks in one department, each of whose rating is first class in every particular, should have received a total increase of only $600, while one white clerk alone had this amount added to his salary at one fell swoop, being jumped from $1,200 to $1,800. In view of these facts does it not seem that the recommendations of the Keep Commission, affecting these matters, are both timely and important? The Government is unequivocally committed to the policy of the "Square Deal," and cannot view with complacency the unfair distribution of its rewards among worthy servants, of whatever race or class they may happen to be. The conservative element of the Negro citizens of the District are much concerned over recent developments in the 7 oe " . , - a a SS = Else ee HOW TO COOK VEAL| covomar sociats a ran.

Then season four chops, or cut- lets, with salt and pepper, dredge them with flour, and place them on top of the {rying onions. When they have simmered for a few minutes, turn them; and. at the expiration of an- other two or three minutes, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, a little chopped parsley, a threaded clove of garlic, a bay-leaf and some thyme. Turn the veal from time tb time, until it has browned on both sides; then add a coffee-cupful of hot water, cover the pan, and let the water come to a boil quickly. At this point, remove it to the back of the stove, where It can do no more than simmer, and leave it for two hours. Remove the garlic and bay-leaf, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve, Perfecticn Stew—Much s many people object to the stew, or to any “dish that savors of it, the cook who 1g willing to take some pains in pre- paring the viands for her table can serve a veal stew in such a manner that the fact that it is a “stew” will never be suspected. To do this she must first make a rich white sauce by using a heaping tablespoenful of flour and a goodly proportioned piece of butter to a cupful of good milk, or cream. When this sauce has com- menced to boil, she must take sofe thin slices of cold veal and lay them -in it, adding balf a dozen mushrooms, chopped, and a little minced parsley. Simmer until the meat has become heated through, when It Is ready for the table. .Veal in Chafing Dish—The appear- ance of a chafing dish at supper, or even at luncheon, often adds material- ly to the delights of the repast, so If you have a‘chafing dish that can be called into service, try it some day when you want to dispose of some leftovers from the roast of veal. To do this, melt some butter in the pan. and fry some chopped onions in It until they have browned nicely; then add a cupful of veal gravy, or white stock, and lay the slices of veal in It Season with salt, pepper, and mush- room catsup, and, at the end of two or threezsminutes, add a well-beaten egg, and serve Immediately. English Veal Cake—When so much of the roast has been used: that It is no longer possible to get slices, there are still several methods by which It can be prepared most appetizingly. Purchase a few slices of boiled bam and two eggs, and you can serve one of the famous English veal cakes. Here ts the recipe: Take about a pound of cold roast veal; remove all fat, ete., and chop It Into small pleces. Grease a plain mold and put into it al- ternate layers of chopped veal, hard- dolled eggs, and boiled ham In slices, with chopped parsley and salt and pepper between each layer, until the mold is nearly full. Next, take some ~ good stock and flavor It with tarra. gon, mace and pepper to taste. Pour this over the other Ingredients until the mold Is filled almost to the brim. Bake {t for half an hour, but do not serve it until It has become so cold that it’ cam be sliced neatly. Served with a garish of crisp watercress, “these slices of veal-cake make a mast acceptable hot-weather luncheon dish. Russian Croquettes—Another minc ed-veal dish that will appeal attrac tively to lovers of nice eating 1s known “as “Russian croquettes.” To make them, mince a pound ‘of cold veal, and season {t with pepper, salt, a little nutmeg and half a teaspoonful of grated lemon peel, and moisten with a sauce made as follows: Heat a , coffeecupful of milk to the boiling point; then add a slice of onfon, 1 stalk of celery, chopped, a bay-leaf half a dozen peppercorns, and pars ley, thyme and mace. Do not let the mixture actually boil, but keep it sim mering steadily for fully 15 minutes ‘Then strain, season to taste with sal! and pepper, and thicken with a blen¢ of flour and butter. While this sauce fs being prepared, roll some puff paste very thin, and, then the sauce ant meat have been combined, shape : tablespoonful of the mixture into th shape of a croquette, and roll it up ir a strip of the puff paste, pressing th . ends together closely. Have som deep fat ready and fry the croquette: + Wrown, Drain carefully, and serve witt mustard, cress, or sorrel and bits o femon.

COLONIAL SOCIALS A FAD. It Can.Be Made a Success in Every Community. There 1s one form of sociable which is warranted to be a success, since every one is interested in it from the start; this is the “colonial social.” The committee should canvass thor- oughly, letting no house escape, for in every one something is tucked away which speaks of earlier days. The committee on decorations may hang the walls of the parlors with crossed swords, old muskets and flags, and por- traits of Washington and other, colo- nial heroes. Around the ms may be tables and*chaira of old Bahogany, splaning wheels, andirons, and curious kettles. Arranged around the wall may be long, narrow tables draped with cheese cloth in blue and yellow, bearing old silver, brass candlesticks, snuffers, decanters, slippers, em- broidery, fans and jewelry, with sam- plers, warming pans, old mirrors and family portraits above. Each article should be labeled with the owner's name, the date of the manufacture, or use of the article, and any historical eveat in connection with it. It is a good plan to have everything brought to the parlors early in the day and returned at the close Hi the sociable to prevent possible loss. It Is one of the interesting things about the sociable to see the quality of relics even the smallest town has hid- gen away. For entertainment some one may sing some of the revolutionary ballads, or tell a curious event in family his- tory, or read from old records. Or there may be recitations of such things as “Paul Revere's Ride" of “Doro- thy Q." or some description of Iife In colonial days. Of course the whole affairs is more delightful if the hostess at least can come in quaint old silk or cotton gowns, with tall combs and huge fans, and powdered hair. As to refreshments, there should certainly be poundeake and mulled cider, and perhaps doughnuts, or little spicy cookies. A great deal of fun can be had if old recipe books are hunted up and some of the things tried which are suggested there. This sociable suggests one on much the same lines, where a real New England supper Js served at six, all sitting down at long tables to eat the same dishes which were served long ago. Afterwards the same entertain- ment may be provided as at the colo- nial sociable, with or without the pret- ty oki dresses, DRINKING AT MEALS, Water Should Be Taken Only After Eating, Says an Authority. Most physicians today will tell you never to take any Uquid, And least ef all water, during meals. There are, however, two sides to the question. Those with a tendency to gout or other diseases arising from excess of uric acid should avold Hquids until two hours, at least after eating. | For those without such a tendency there is-no harm in drinking a moder- ate amount at the end of the meal. There is, therefore, sound reason back of the custom of keeping the cof- fee for the last course, Even when this prandial drinking {s permissible, one should avoid excess. A little cold water in the mouth is often just as re- tresbing as if gallons of the liquid had been consumed. The great American fault—or one of them—is the consumption of enormous quantities of ice water, which is really a deadly beverage and not fit for clvil- ized man to drink—I emphasize “civil- ized,” for no savage would do anything to stupid as to chill and paralyze the auscles of his stomach in the belief that he {s cgoling his skin. The rules, then, are: A little water tf you are-healthy and your stomach 13 normal, not too cold, and taken at the end of the meal. And thus will you avold the countless Ills to which most drinkers during meals are heir. Umbrella Cover as Hair Protector. A woman who was the proud pos- sessor of a brald of hair which reach- ed well below her knees, every hair even and the whole one satiny length ot golden brown, gave this secret of the beauty of her crowning glory. It certainly is an original scheme, to say the least. She took the cover of her silk um- brella (a use for them at last), and each night after the dust of the day had been removed by a vigorous brushing, this cover was drawn snug- ly over the braid and securely tied. Thus the ends were kept urbroken and the hair untangled, no matter how restless she was. By the way, in se- vere illness, when the halr must go for days often, unbrushed, if it is pos- sible to braid it in two plalts and sat- urate thoroughly with alcohol before even attempting to comb the least bit, the work will be accomplished in balf the tine. Culinary Conceite. When interrupted while frying in deep fat drop a dry crust of bread Into the fat to prevent its burning. ‘When frying croquettes be sure to plunge the basket in hot fat before the croquettes are placed in it. This will prevent them adhering to the wire when lifted out. When roasting meat, to make the gravy nice and brown take a -table spoonful of sugar and melt it In a pan till it smokes, then add boiling water stir well and mix with the gravy. Cracker and bread crumbs-ysed in covering the tops, of scallops, -etc., should be well greased in melted but- ‘ter. This makes a hetter covering ‘than the dry crumbs dotted with but. ter and uses less of the latter ingred! ent.

You will find that every one, be it man, woman, or child, who drinks quantities of water will have a clear and soft skin, as pink and white as a baby’s. Water, if drunk in great quantities, will cause perspiration, which clears out the pores and makes them healthy. It also bleaches the ekin. It prevents the skin from becom- ing hard, dry and close, and is thus indirectly a preventive of wrinkles. The stout woman need not fear to drink water because she thinks it will increase her weight, for it will not un- less, of course, she drinks it with her meals. It is a mystery why women do not drink more water, for every doc- tor will advise his woman patients to drink lots of water. It fs such a sim- ple remedy and is so much easier to take than medicines. Still, it is almost impossible to make many women be- Meve that they will derive benefit from anything hut medicine. To Remove Blackheads—Biackheads are the result ef the skin fafling to throw off all its impurities. The per fectly cleansed face has no black- heads. Many who are afflicted with blackheads deny this, as every one likes to think they are clean, but few of us know how to cleanse our faces properly and thoroughly. Not enough can be sald about the nightly scrub with the fiesh brush and soap and about the morning wash, Wash the face every night, even if you are so sleepy and tired that nothing matters, so long as you get to bed. If the habit is formed, the task will soon become = mechanical one and will be part of the duty of undressing. There is no “hope for the girl who {s too indolent to do this. She must accept her lot and the blackheads with ft. Different skins need different treat- ments, but one knows no end of women who gayly go to the nearest rug store and buy a cold cream, sim- ply because some of her friends have recommended it. Probably her friend has a dry skin, while she has an olly one, but that does not make any dif- fnrence; it's a good cream, so she uses it. Eat Oil for Dry Skin—Women who suffer from a oy skin will be wonder- fully benefited if they will take a tablespoonful-of ollve oll after each meal. Beazoin, which is far too as- tringent for many complexions, 1s ex- cellent for a dry skin. Bran bags will ‘have a wonderful effect upon the too dry skin, To make some fine meal for bran bags at home, mix four pounds of fine oatmeal and two quarts of | clean bran together and aleo one and a half pounds of powdered orris root, one and a half pounds of almond meal, and one-half pound of white castile soap ground: up. ‘Three ounces of sachet powder of any kind to sult one’s taste may also be added. ‘These are simple luxuries and they make the skin exquisitely soft and fresh. They are used exactly like soap and make a soft and fluffy Jather. The bags must be stuffed so Hghtly that they may be rubbed over the face just like a wash cloth. Each bag may be used three times. After each using it should be thoroughly dried In the sun It is best to make a large quantity of the meal and put It away in closed jars, only filling five or six bags at a time. The bags should be made of soft cheese cloth. The almond meal is made as fol- lows: Powdered orris root, four ounces; wheat flour, four ounces; cas: tile soap, finely powdered, one ounce; '| pure borax, one ounce, oll of bitter al- monds, ten drops; oil of bergamont, two drams; ‘tincture of musk, one dram. Put Into a bottle or jar having a perforated top and shake well so as ['. mix the ingredients, When ready for use first wet the hands and then shake a quantity of the meal through -}the shaker top of the jar. Rub the hands together and also over the face and a delicious lather will form. Don't Have Rough Hands—Wash your hands In stigar water; dry them with corn meal, night and morning. 7 J. B.

Little Known of His Personality Outside of Business—Says Present Generation Should Strive to Make Next One Better. New York.—Edward H. Harriman is a peculiar man. He has no school-day intimates, no boyhood chums, no partisans, no epigrams are quoted, no business aphorisms. All stories are that in youth he was a scraper or that he was an amblable, colorless youth. His personality outside of business is rarely talked of. He is cold and reserved. He is fond of his family and it is said that he is charitable. A man close to him said when it was suggested that some friend should speak to Harriman regarding his lack of tact: "Friend? I don't believe that Harriman has a friend in the world." Mr. Harriman was born at Hempstead, L. I., in 1848. He had two sisters and three brothers. Two of the brothers have died. His father was an Episcopal clergyman and at the birth of Edward was rector of St. George's church at Hempstead. Harriman went to school little and what education he received was picked up at home. Harriman entered Wall street at the age of 16 and served as an office boy and later bought a partnership. In 1870 he bought a seat in the New York stock exchange. He was a "piker" in those days. To-day he knows the game of speculation better than any man in America. He is small in stature and walks with a curious bow-legged jawtiness. TREVEN peculiar to jockies. He talks easily, but seldom uses figures of speech and often is at a loss for a precise word and accepts it when offered without comment. In fact, he never says "Thank you." He is lacking absolutely in emotion. What he wants to know he asks about. He has no pets in business, but is liberal to his employees. "He collects mountains as other people do china," was sald of him when he was buying up Arden, his immense country place back of Tuxedo Park, N. Y. Mr. Harriman established the Boys' club on the east side of New York. It is simply what the name implies—a club for boys, where they can find healthy recreation without regard to religious beliefs or social standing. He started the club 30 years ago. He is always generous to the institution and gave it a $250,000 building only recently. He can be found in attendance at all of its entertainments. The club is the biggest of its kind and has a membership of over 10,000, which is drawn from the most thickly settled portions of New York city. Mr. Harriman gives $2,500 annually for its maintenance. Next to his family and money this fearless man is fond of horses and is a regular visitor to the Tuxedo horse snow. Mr. Harriman in 1870 married Miss Mary W. Averell, daughter of a Wall street dealer, and they have five children living, three daughters and two sons. Mr. Harriman's eldest daughter, Mary, is her father's friend and comrade and takes deep interest in his affairs. He is manifestly proud of her. The two boys are sturdy youngsters and still at school. Harriman is always hospitable in a formal way. When travelling he is always accompanied by guests, but forgets all about them when some business at hand interests him. He never travels for pleasure and is a tireless worker. His only pleasure is rest in the vastness of his 3,000-acre estate at Arden. His late hunting trip in the west was the first in many years. He was, he taught up in the Episcopal church. It really when the question was put to him was to what he thought it was with what will in his world for a man to do his reply was: "Only idea is that a man should try to make his children better; give them larger opportunities and to do what he can to make the next generation a little better off than his own." Japanese Residents of Honolulu Open a New Place of Worship. Honolulu, HI I—A Shinto temple to Iusuma was dedicated in Honolulu recently with ceremonies extending throughout the day and ending with a great display of fireworks in the evening. The temple is said to be the most elaborately appointed Shinto temple outside of Japan. A priest of high rank was brought here from Japan especially to have charge of these ceremonies. Connected with the dedication were many dramatic representations from simple stages erected in the temple yard and a most impressive dance by a score of Japanese girls in gorgeous kimonos before the altar in the temple Shintolism, according to Prof. Clement's "Handbook of Modern Japan." New Shinto Temple In Honolulu. is not a religion, but a system of worship in which the delification of heroes, emperors, family ancestors and forces of nature play an important part. It has no dogmas, no sacred book and no moral code. It sums up its theory of human duty in the following injunction: "Obey your natural impulses and the laws of the state." A Shinto temple is usually a simple building in front of which, at a little distance, is set an arch. There are no idols, but strips of paper hanging from a wand are used as emblems of Shinto. The ordinary form of worship consists of washing the face or hands, or both, with holy water, of ringing a bell or slapping the hands to call the god's attention; of casting in a coin as an offering; of standing with clasped hands during a short prayer and of making a farewell bow. Efforts have been made to have Shintolism made the state religion of Japan, but these have failed. Shinto affairs have been entirely secularized since 1685 and set apart under a bureau of shrines, this being regarded as the final step in the disestablishment of this system of worship. FRANKLIN TRADE SCHOOL. Made Possible by Gift to Boston a Hundred Years Ago. Boston.—Contracts were recently let for the erection of a splendid trade school building in this city to be paid for with the $5,000 which Benjamin Franklin bequeathed to Boston at his death. The contract price is almost $320,000, yet the trustees of the fund have $100,000 additional to be used for equipment. Franklin intended that his original bequest should be lent in small sums at five per cent. interest to young married mechanics who had served their apprenticeship in Boston. He directed that at the end of a hundred years, or in 1891, $500,000 dollars of the accumulated fund should be spent by the trustees in public works which might be of most general use to the inhabitants. The remaining $155,000 dollars of the fund—he computed that it would have amounted to $655,000—was to be let FRANKLIN TRADE SCHOOL. To Be Erected With $5,000 Left by Benjamin Franklin a Century Ago. out at interest for another hundred years, when the accumulations should be similarly expended. It was not found practicable to lend the money to young mechanics, as they could not give the security which the will demanded; but the money has been kept at interest, and there is now, after allowing for the new building and its equipment, a balance of more than a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which is to accumulate till the latter part of the present century.

Has Long Been a Leader in Affairs of His Tribesmen—Insists on Doing All Official Business in Native Tongue. Okmulgee, I. T.—Full blood Indian, bank director, president of an oil company, Methodist minister, Moty Tiger, the new chief of the Creeks, presents an anomaly in the mixture of human races. Refusing to speak any but his native tongue, he assumes the role of a recalcitrant, and by taking part in the active business enterprises of his nation and the development of its resources, he at once becomes a leader of the progressives and a man of moment. Tiger is 65 years old. He has been prominent in Creek national affairs since 1883, when he was second in command under the Proctor forces in the Green Peach war against Isparheecher, which, in reality, was a war to determine whether the Creeks should establish a school system and become an educated race or should cling to the ancient tribal modes and customs. He became a member of the house of kings in the Creek legislature, and held that position for many years. He was elected second chief when General Porter was elected chief for his first term, and was reelected when that term expired. Otherwise he has led an uneventful life. He has lived for many years on a farm on Deep fork, five miles west of Okmulgee. He has been twice married, the first time to a full blood Indian woman, to whom three children were born, and the second time to a white woman, who is now his wife. He has been a liberal man in the education of his children, and they are accounted among the very brightest of the younger generation of Creeks. They have college educations and stand well in their community. There was considerable talk about the new chief's moving the executive offices to Okmulgee, which is the capital of the nation, but he has announced that he will continue the offices in Muskogee and move there. Following the precedent set by Chief Checote many years ago, Chief William K. Tiger insists that all official business be conducted in his native tongue. Chief Checote was a good English scholar, but when it came to official business he would not listen to a word of English, insisting that all business with his nation be conducted in his national tongue. So Chief Tiger will not talk in English, though he understands perfectly and can speak good English. Shortly after his appointment he was in the office of the commissioner to the Five tribes and that official tried to transact some official business. The chief would not speak. After half an hour's work the commissioners gave it up as a bad job. In his own office the chief speaks Greek entirely. He answers, the simplest questions through his interpreter, though it is plainly evident from his expression that he understands it in English. Since his induction into office there has been a constant stream of Indians in to consult the chief. Any day one may find him in consultation with half a dozen Indians, all of them talking Creek, so that it is almost impossible to tell what is going on in the office. Even the stenographers and confidential secretary are unable to grasp the situation. The duties of the chief are light. So is his salary. He receives $2,000 a year, and he will spend more than that paying the railroad fare for Indians who come to town, get stranded and have to borrow money to pay their railroad fare home. The department of the Interior has usurped practically all of the power that was formerly delegated to the Indian legislatures and their executives. All matters must now be passed upon by the government, and the existence of an Indian council and a chief, so far as the Five tribes are concerned, is merely a nominal national life. The ascendency of Tiger to the office of principal chief is purely accidental. Chief Porter's term of office would have expired this month. Under the law the president would then have appointed a chief. Porter would have been reappointed, but Tiger would not have been second chief, and and Porter lived a month longer, in all probability some one else would fill the place Moty Tiger now occupies. OLD DICKENS FAKE TO GO. Spurious "Old Curiosity Shop" in London Will Be Torn Down. London.—Who knows how much money has been made out of that venerable London fake, "The Old Curiosity Shop," In Lincoln's Inn Fields, with the spurious legend, "Immortalized by Charles Dickens." It has reaped a rich harvest out of its bogus reputation, but all speculations as to the exact amount would be mere guesswork. Despite the obvious fact that it is not what it pretends to be, and may in no way resemble the shop of "Little Nell's" grandfather, the old building can truthfully lay claim to upward of 300 years of life. And while the thousands of enthusiastic Americans who have been in the habit of visiting it every year may have been under a delusion in supposing it The Fake "Old Curiosity Shop." to be the identical building described by the great English novelist, nevertheless they had the satisfaction of seeing one of the oldest buildings in this very old city. But a few weeks hence will see an end of it. Already bright red bills are plastered all over the little shop announcing the removal of the waste paper business, which at the present moment occupies the front room, and of the souvenir business which prospers so greatly in the stuffy low-celling room in the rear. Irrespective of the question of its authenticity, one may sincerely mourn its approaching disappearance, for it is such old places that go far to make the English metropolis so interesting and popular with the American tourist. "The Old Curiosity Shop" is one of a trio of fakes in London which have made a lot of money out of foreigners, Americans chiefly, through their claim to ancient lineage and historical associations. The "Cheshire Cheese," in Fleet street, where you can see Dr. Johnson's alleged favorite chair and the smudge on the wall, head high, supposed to have been left by his greasy wig, and the barber shop at No. 17 Fleet street said to have formerly been the palace of Henry VIII and Cardinal Wolsey, are the other two of this interesting trio. Charles Dickens himself disposed of the real Old Curlosity Shop before he finished the book of that name. For does he not tell us that many years after the death of Little Nell Kit visited the site of the old shop, which had then given place to the march of improvements and was occupied by a broad thoroughfare? Charles Dickens the younger has also declared that there is no truth in the claim of the building which is now to disappear. Christine Nilsson, Once Famous as Operatic Star. New York.—Countess de Miranda, better known as Christine Nilsson, who is critically ill at her country home in Sweden was 20 years ago famous as an operatic singer. In the various capitals of Europe she won renown and was extremely popular with American audiences. Countess de Miranda was born in Sweden in 1843, and made her operatic debut at Stockholm in 1860. She first studied in the latter city under Berwald, and later in Paris was tutored by Victor J. Nasse and Wartel. When she first appeared in London, in 1867, she scored a great success, especially in "Faust," and her future was assured. Count de Marinda is the second husband of the famous singer, her first having been a Frenchman, Auguste Rouzaud, who died in 1882. On the date of her second marriage, 1887, she retired permanently from the operatic stage, but has been heard occasionally in concerts. Mary Knew All About It. Little Mary's father had been teaching her to walk properly. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes," he admonished her. White she was undergoing this teaching, she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was, "Teach me to walk honestly." After exiting it several times, the teacher asked: "Who knows what that means?" "I do," replied little Mary. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes." EAST AFRICA FARMING 2,000 SETTLERS AT WORK IN GERMAN TERRITORY. Colonists Not Admitted Until Last Year—Fertile Lands on Plateaus Many Feet Above the Sea. New York. It is about 30 years since the Germans acquired the vast region now known as German East Africa. They had no idea then that any part of the colony, which is only a little south of the equator, could ever become the home of white settlers. Much to their surprise, they have found that about a sixth of the country is so rich in soil and stands so high above the sea that white men may engage in manual labor there the year around. The regions that invite white colonization are distributed in large and small areas among the Usambara mountains, near the sea; on the vast, high plain south and west of Mount Killimanjaro; in the mountains and rich valleys of Uhehe to the south-west; on the high tablelands of Urundi and Ruanda near the Congo Free State and in other districts. Already about 2,000 peasants from Germany and the Transvaal have settled there, though it was only last year that Germany got ready to admit colonists. In some places there are only two or three settlers, while in other regions there are scores of families. It is still an untamed wilderness and Germany holds out no glittering inducements. In the circular of the colonial government last year colonists were told that they would be accepted only if they were well, strong and temperate. They must be prepared to endure bravely the privations inseparable from pioneer life. There was little prospect of acquiring wealth, but the diligent man could make a home for himself and his family and become independent. The great regions of Urundl and Ruanda, the most populous parts of German East Africa, about 800 miles from the Indian ocean, are not yet open to settlement, as orderly relations with the natives are not yet fully established. These are the only regions adapted for white occupancy that are not yet accessible to colonists. The government will ultimately sell the land, but at present it is leased German Post 450 Miles Inland. to settlers for a few cents an acre. As soon as the settler has one-tenth of his holding under cultivation or otherwise devoted to useful purposes, he is entitled to purchase twice as much land as he has improved at about 10 or 20 cents an acre. The government requires all settlers to bring at least $500 into the country. They must paddle their own canoe in a financial way. It is a little different; however, with the German Poles, who are as yet the chief German immigrants. For each family a little cabin and two outhouses are constructed, a few cattle and some farming implements are provided and the government is reimbursed in small regular payments. All the settlers live in small cabins built of wood, stone or tiles. Many of them give most attention to the raising of cattle, sheep and goats, and produce only sufficient crops to feed their families. The Germans have been greatly surprised to find how large a variety of European farm crops can be grown on these wide-spreading lands, from 4,000 to 7,000 feet above the sea. Some settlers are actually raising wheat as fine as any land produces. Wheat is destined to be a great crop, 800 miles inland, in the region of the central African lakes. The first crop sown on the second plowing of the land yielded about 10 bushels to the acre, the only trouble being that it ripened in patches, so that a whole field could not be cut at once. European vegetables grow finely, small fruits do well and cotton and tobacco are an assured success. Millions of coffee trees have been planted, tobacco and sugar cane thrive and sisal hemp introduced from Yucatan on the government experimental farms several years is already an important export. The white settlers all over German East Africa are loudly protesting against the tardy development of the railroad system, planned several years ago. Letters from colonists on Victoria Nyanza say it is a disgrace to the German flag that they have to send their products to the sea by the British steamers and railroad. These protests are producing some effect and there are signs that railroad buildings will soon be pushed with some dear SALVATION ARMY A PILOT. Genj Booth Says It Is in the Best Position to Direct Emigration. Boston.—In an hour's chat the other day Genj. William Booth of the Salvation Army discussed many topics, including emigration, Christian Science and race suicide. This is the fourth visit of the founder and commander of the Salvation Army to this country. He is 79 years of age. Emigration seemed to be the foremost thought in his mind and in Gen. William Booth. speaking of it in connection with the work of his organization he said that the Salvation Army was trying to become a transfer agent. He referred to the demand for workers, especially in Canada, in the western states and in South America, and to the great mass of human beings in the slums of Europe who needed assistance to reach such fields of labor. With its thousands of corps, the Salvation Army, he said, was in the best position to direct emigration from one country to another. It acts, in fact, as a pilot for these voyagers. Gen. Booth is decidedly in favor of large families. With one or two children, he said, the parents always indulge them, and such indulgence creates recklessness. Better 17 in the family, or even 24, as in Germany, than one or two spolled children. He condemned old age pensions in the severest terms, and said it was only another scheme for idleness. The subject of Christian Science came up, but Gen. Booth deftly parled anything in the way of criticism, saying that any breaking away from the old faiths was better than slumber and showed agitation of the waters. JAPAN REWARDS AMERICAN. H. W.

Those who were present at the investigation last Thursday, October 24th, and saw the attitude of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, when he was being tried for that libelous letter he penned to the Superintendent of Schools, saw a dejected and pitiful spectacle. Not once, when he was confroonted by the accused, did he raise his eyes from the floor and look his accused in the face. The testimony of Mrs. Mary Syphax Gibson was dramatic, and when she pointed her finger in his face and cried out, "You know you told a malicious falsehood," it almost brought tears from the eyes of the spectators. She said that she was a widow; that she had a baby child to support; that she had trouble with Bruce at Tuskegee, which was the motive of his attack upon her, and that she had never uttered such a thing in her life. She emphasized the fact that she had never in her life applied for a night school, and this was corroborated by Dr. W. Bruce Evans, supervising principal of night schools, who testified that the lady never applied for a night school; but he (Dr. Evans) appointed her upon the recommendation of her friends, and that he knew her and knew her worth as a teacher when he appointed her; that Mr. Chase was not one of the presons who recommended her. Who is safe in our schools if this man is permitted to remain at the head of our colored schools? Bruce showed his malice after the lady had made a sworn affidavit by declaring that Negro lawyers were selling places in the schools, and the stand taken by the Superintendent in stopping the sale of places was correct.

The "Soiree" for the benefit of the Bermond Baptist Church, last week at the True Reformers' Hall, under the auspices of the Misses Lucas, Watson, Wright, Mrs. David Warner and other well known ladies, was a decided success every way. The music was furnished by the Lyric Orchestra. The Vanity Fair during last week held at the suburban residence of Mrs. Anna McLee, in Mt. Pleasant, by the Women's Guild of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, was very enjoyable and successful. The Guild has raised over five hundred dollars for parish work during the past year. A large number of friends last week called upon Edward Washin at Brookland, with "birthday" presents. Dr Harry Van Buren, a graduate of the medical department of Howard, also a graduate of Biddle University, is practising in Columbia, S. C. Miss Erma S.

Miss Bessie Pinkney, of 81 O street northwest, and aunt, Miss Elizabeth Pinkney, will spend a few days in Baltimore with relatives. The Charity Soiree, given by the Chrysanthemum Club, was a financial success. It was the best arranged, the best music, and the most aristocratic audience that has ever been in the True Reformers' Hall. Much credit is due to the president of the Club, Miss Edith Wright. CITY PERSONALS. Mr. William H. A. Wormley, of Brookland, lies very ill at his residence. He was compelled to resign his position as bailiff of the Supreme Court of the District on account of continued ill-health. Mr. William Carl Boliver, of Philadelphia, visited this city last Sunday. He was the guest of Mrs. Datcher, in Sixteenth' street northwest. Col. Milton M. Holland, chief of division in the office of the auditor for the Postoffice Department, is dangerously ill at his country residence in Montgomery county, Md. Dr. Forman Shadd is slowly improving under the skillful treatment of Drs. Reyburn, Graham and Williston. Prof. J.

Anderson Taylor, pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church, preached in Baltimore, Md., Sunday at the Mt. Airy Baptist Church His subject was "The Appointment and Work of a Deacon." So much pleased were they that he was invited to return next Sunday. MR. GEORGE A. CARTER ILL. Mr. George A. Carter, one of the best known and most influential Odd Fellows in the United States, is sick at his home, 1346 Wallach Place north-west. Mr. Carter is being tenderly cared for by his faithful wife, Mrs. Bessie L. Carter. SOUTHWEST NOTES Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the lecture room of Zion Baptist Church, F street between Third and Four-and-a-half streets southwest, there were several hundred present at the concert given by Madame Gertrude Brown Cason, one of Washington's most gifted singers, who has recently returned from a musical tour in New England and Canada. Madame Cason was ably assisted by local talent, the program being as follows: Overture Miss Rosa A. Bell. Chorus, St. Paul A. M. E. Church choir, Prof. Ford Moxley-director. Selection, Amphion Quartette, Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director. Address. Mrs. Julia M. Layton. Address, Mrs. Julia M. Layton. Soprano solo, "Fleur de Alpes," Madame Gertrude Brown Cason. Recitation, Madame Henrietta Vinton Davis. Select reading, Mrs. Mary Love. Selection, Amphion Quartette. Select reading, Madame Henrietta Vinton Davis. Solo, selected, Madame Gertrude B. Cason. Violin solo, with piano accompaniment; Prof. William Coleman and Master Ed Coleman. Piano solo. Master John. Layton. Solo, Mrs. Jennie Harris. Instrumental solo, Miss Rosa A. Bell. Solo, singing and laughing gestures, Mr. George Brown; Mr. Fred Green, pianist. Ushers, Mrs. N. Jackson, Mrs. L Stevenson, Miss M. Nickets, Mrs. Elsie Dortch, Miss A. Valentine, Miss H. Fox Mis L Minor, Miss L Nickens, Mrs. D. Brown, Miss L Johnson, Mrs. L V. Smith, Miss A. Scott. The audience expressed much regret at the inability of Dr. W. J. Howard, pastor, to be present at the opening of the exercises. The singing of the St. Paul Church choir was fairly good, but the defects in the singing were more than compensated for by the splendid bearing and appearance or the dozen or more pretty girls of which the choir is composed. Madame Henrietta Vinton Davis was heartily received by the audience. She appeared in resplendent theatrical costume, with diamond neckalce and bracelet, and maintained her well established reputation as an elocutionist and dramatic reader. Prolonged applause followed the appearance of the musical star, Madame Gertrude Brown Cason, each time she appeared on the rostrum. She has a wonderful range and volume, and she is destined to become a "prima donna" and musical "star" of the first magnitude. The address of Mrs. Julia H. Layton was full of sound and wholesome advice, and was heartily approved by the audience. The celebrated Amphion Glee Club was faultlessly represented by the Amphion Quartette—Prof. J. Henry Lewis, and Messrs. Beale, Champ and Washington. They were vociferously encored and appeared before the "lights" five times. Their work was perfect. The audience also showed its appreciation of the work of Mrs. Jennie Harris, Miss Rosa A. Bell and Mr. George Brown, the "laughing singer." TRINITY RALLY. The Trinity Baptist Church, S street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth sts. Rev, J. Anderson Taylor, D.D., pastor; will commence their Grand Rally Sunday, November 3, and continue through to December 1. The purpose of this rally is to raise one thousand dollars to pay on the church property. A number of the leading ministers of the city have promised to assist them in their effort, among them being: Rev. M. W. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church; Rev. George W. Lee, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church; Rev. I. D. Toliver, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church; Rev. James H. Lee, pastor of Third Baptist Church; Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion. Church; Rev. W. P. Gibbons, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, and Rev. W. B. Johnson, pastor of Second Baptist Church. In connection with the preaching every night the ladies of the church are going to hold a grand fair, for two weeks. commencingg Monday, November 3, ending November 15th. The ladies will spare no pains to make it pleasant for all. The opening address will be made by Hon. John C.Dancy, Recorder of Deeds. Various attractions will be furnished each night, with good music. We invite our sister churches and charitable public to help us in our great effort for good. Mr. J. Hilliary Taylor is bursy rehearsing a chorus of forty voices to produce his choral ballad entitled "A Christmas Ballad," or "Holly Berry and Mistletoe Lyrics." The words are by Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite, and the music is by Mr. Taylor. It is set to music for baritone solo, soprano and alto duet, and full chorus with an interesting piano accompaniment. 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, Commissoioner 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 interstate 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 agrecably 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 slights an opportunity to defend it when wrongfully assailed. THE F. E. GREEN CO. 818 19th St N. W. Washington, D. C.

BETHEL LITERARY A large audience greeted Rev. Waldron at the Bethel Literary last Tuesday night, and Miss Madre in her opening address was eloquent and convincing. Rev. Waldron discussed socialism and the Negro. He thought that the best thing for the Negro was the Socialist-Labor party. The Bee begs leave to introduceto the citizens of Washington Mr. Leon De Voux, the world's greatest photographer, who has traveled very extensively, and has given satisfaction in the profession of which he is the master. Colored Americans have largely depended upon white photographers to do their work and accept it if it does not satisfy them. There is not a white photographer of any note in the city that will permit the photo of a colored American to be placed upon exhibition. Mr. De Voux is an expert in his profession. He makes his pictures the exact likeness of his patrons. He has leased for a term of yeas one of the most convenient and commodious places near the Fourteenth. Street Bank, 1359-61 You streets, near the corner of Fourteenth street northwest. Mr. De Voux will have upon exhibition some of his own work as an evidence of his artistic workmanship. His photos are as natural as the person himself. He means to give his patrons entire satisfaction, and if he fails, your money is refunded. There is no artist in the United States who has made the reputation that he has. Mr. De Voux wants the world to know that his studio will be opened to the public on or about Wednesday, October 9th, and the citizens of Washington should avail themselves of the opportunity of the great offers that he is making. The public should inspect his studio and select the style or character of pictures desired. MONEY REFUNDED If you are not satisfied with your funded.

This proposition alone ought to be sufficient to assure the public that Mr. De Voux is a superior artist. He makes you look like a natural image. So artistic is his work. There is no photographer in this country who has traveled as Mr. De Voux. He has in his travels acquired great knowledge in photo-making. His work has been pronounced superior to any artist in his line of business. It will not cost you anything to call and inspect his studio. It will not cost you anything if your photos don't suit you. Artists are known by their work. They are appreciated for what they can do. This city has been in need of a first-class photographer for years. Colored Americans may have their pictures placed where they will be seen and admired. Mr. De Voux claims to be able to do any kind of work in this line of business. There is no matter about his work. He portrays the person in his natural shape and at the same time makes the image to be admired. His studio opened October 7th, and if the public wishes to inspect first-class work, Mr. De Voux is the artist that the people of this city have been looking for theseyears. His studio will have its opening October 7th, and be continued for thirty days, to enable the public to be convinced that Mr. De Voux is the artist that the people of this city have been looking for these years. Mr. De Voux has succeeded in securing the services of Mr. William Hoag, the finest developing and printing artist identified with the colored race, as assistant and manager. He was formerly with Sexton and Maxwell of St. Louis, Mo. Artists of other nationalities do not cater for colored citizens' trade.

BETTER PROTECTION FOR NEGRO LABORING PEOPLE Every negro man and woman who reads this piece, should acquaint themselves with the principles of the L. L. Grand Lodge man who reads themselves with U. Grand Lodge of Dayton, Ohio, and join it at once. There is no other Lodge in the world like it. Its principles are to protect and uplift all laboring people, men and women, colored and white alike—no color discrimination is allowed under its pro-tecting laws. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge was established May 1, 1902, and since then has started over 449 Subordinate I. L. U. lodgees and initiated over 41,142 I. L. U. members; it has also accepted over 649 I. L. U. Members-At-Large, who are attached to the I. L. U. Grand Lodge roster. This Order holds a legal International Charter to order all power to obey and protect all Laboring People, gives it legal standing in the courts and guarantees honest dealings with all people because of state supervision. The Grand Lodge and ench Subordinate Lodge does everything within their power to advance the conditions of the negro laboring men and women; they teach them the duties of honesty and faith to work, abiding citizenz and to work better and quicker; to secure better pay for what they do and to shorten their hours of toll so all our people can obtain a share of the laboring work to be done, with enough pay to support themselves and families as becomes good citizens of toll; and to secure for each member of the right to learn a trade and work; it for equal pay with other workmen, no matter what race or color they may be. There is no color, race or sex discrimination under the banner of the L. L. U. The negro has an equal standing with all other members, and is eligible for election to any office in the Grand Lodge or Subordinate Lodges. Members of the L. L. U. are not allowed to suffer from want, for they are voluntarily THE I. L. U. GRAND LODGE ORGAN RECITAL Will be given by Mr. William G. Braxton, at Metropolitan A. M. E.

For instance, when a member dies it is customary for the Grand Lodge to give $100.00 to help out on the expense. After January 1st, 1908, it is proposed that the Grand Lodge give $25.00 to each male member when his wife dies, also to same to each female member when husband is unmarried. A member's child between 3 and 10 years of age dies and $10.00 when one over 10 years old passes away. In addition to this nearly every I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge maintains a slick and accident fund, out of which they give each member from $3.00 to $5.00 per week when sick or disabled. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge does not bonast about what it does in voluntarily assisting the Grand Lodge. I. U. members unite in saying that they are projected better under the I. L. U. Grand Lodge than in many other Orders who promise big things and do little. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge owns and publishes THE I. L. U. HOME JOURNAL, a 16 page monthly publication of great interest to our people. An I. L. U. Membership Book will be recognized and accepted by the I. L. U. Bordorate Lodge in world. Each I. L. U. member has the privilege of buying I. L. U. Grand Lodge Stock from $1.00 up to $100,000, which pays 8 per cent interest (or more); hence all profits made from the Publishing and Home Office business go right back in cash dividends to the members who own stock. Any honorable negro man or woman who lends to the I. L. U. Bordorate Lodge is now established, can join the I. L. U. Grand Lodge and thus enjoy all these benefits. We want a leading negro man and woman to become our Representative in each and every locality throughout the country. It is not necessary that you be a laboring person to become our Representative, but we want honest negroes who wish to help advance their Race. This work can be easily done during your spare time, and you will get big money from us by a little hustling after hours in helping to introduce and extend the I. L. I. Grand Lodge. If you meet with success in your home location will stand in line for a steady traveling position with a good mary and all expenses paid. This space is too small to tell you one-half of the benefits of the I. L. U., so you must write and we will tell you the rest by mail. Write us at once and learn all about this Order. Send 10 cents to pay postage on printed matter and free Constitution which we shall send you. Address 107. I. L. U. Bldg., Dayton, O. COLORED AMUSEMENT CORPORATION. Shares Now Selling at 70 Cents.

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 peculiar spici- ness hidden in the rough sides of this foreign cooking utensil. The casserole possesses uo magical powers,*but it has a very delightful way all its own of retaining and blending the natural flavors of anything cooked in it, while it brings out othe:s that are entirely lost in the ordivary method of pre- paring teats and vegetables. The casserole maths a new era in the his- tory of cuisine. It has changed the routine of the family 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 ig the fgvorite dish ‘of the lovers of excellent food, It ts the pet dish of the gourmet. En cas- serole is the wa to prepare a bird, a specially fine bit of meat or vegetables to tempt the most jaded appetite and to pease the palate of the epicure. With a steaming and savory casserole before one the worries 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. Cooking en casserole is an idea adopted fiom the world’s best chefz, those of France. It is simple to do and It Is economical, while the dish itself Is so cheap that Americans heat. tate to have it served In its natura! form at the dinner table and seek te hide its rouxhness with costly orna mentation. The ideal French casserole 1s a shallow yellow earthenware dish privide@ with a stubby handle which is a part of the earthenware dish It. self. The outside of the common cas serole is quite rough, ant has a por. ous appearance which may have something to do with the way the [ossercle cooks whatever {s put {atc it. The inside is glazed and usually has a reddish brown color. An ofdl {nary casserole costs about 40 cents and larger ones come to a dollar o1 more, and the ordinary kind is quite ‘the best to use for cooking.

There you can get casseroles in every size, rang- ing from the tiny individual one that Ys scarcely three inches In diameter, and yet 13 an exact copy of the larger ones, even to the handle, to casseroles measuring about 18 inches across ahd with a capacity that would satisfy a fair sized camping party. Some of these casseroles are deeper than oth- ers, though all are comparatively shal- low and hare sides that round up slightly over tie top. They come with and without ccvers, but whether you provide yours?if with an earthenware ‘cover to match before beginning your apprenticeship to the casserole, it is 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 alcohol and double pan nickel affairs, without which no bachelor apartment or col- lege room was considered completely equipped, casseroles mounted some- thing llke chafing dishes are being sold. The casserole part Is the same us those that are offered In the little French shop, but it is set on hand. some copper, brass or nickel supports.

FOR RENT. suitable furnished booms trade or gentlemen, 1907 K booms for rent at 1117% W suitable for a doctor bedroom, 1419 First street, New Garments are Made in Three or Four Ways. Skirts are made in one of three or four different ways. But just for the moment, the favorite is the plaited straight skirt. But it all depends upon the material after all and the fancy plaited skirt with the plaits set in below the hips is a model that is much worn. Where materials will permit the ruffled skirt is popular, and the skirt, consisting of two deep ruffles, each one-half the depth of the spirit, is selected as the model in soft silks and poplins. The seven gored empire skirt is one of the best models. This is a plain walking skirt. It is fitted around the hips, but spreads widely below. It is made without ornamentation of any kind, but is finished with two or three plain bands around the foot. These bands are of velvet, sewed upon the upper edge only, so as to set out well and make a pretty finish for the skirt. The five gored skirt is also one of the popular designs, but it needs to be trimmed, and the wide, handsome border of heavy lace around the bottom is a favorite way of trimming this style of skirt. Still another popular method is that of applying a ruffle about a foot wide, with a heading of lace, or with a piping of silk, or some flat velvet bands. The kilted skirt is much in evidence, and there are skirts that are made with the plaits turning back sharply from the front. They are wide and so arranged as to leave a very broad front panel, which is ornamented in some manner. This wide front panel may be trimmed with lace or with a branded design. The use of lace upon winter skirts may seem a questionable stretch of appropriateness, yet when one sees the beautiful winter gowns that are trimmed with lacy materials one is forced to change one's mind as to the use of lace on winter gowns. Many of the handsomest winter costumes are trimmed with filmy materials. Lace dyed, tan lace, brown lace and laces in black and white are all much worn. The mixed fabrics are so pretty that they need little or no decoration, and many of the dressmakers absolutely refuse to trim them in anyway, declaring that it spoils a woman's lines to break up the pattern with trimming. Making Plumes New Ostrich feathers which have been in use for some time often require reshaping as well as recurring. The quill of the feather should be held in the steam of a fast-bolling kettle until it is perfectly pliable. It may then be straightened out flat on a board and planned down until dry, or curled round a linen collar if a rounded effect is required. One clever woman has even dyed her plumes. They were a delicate blue until the summer sun turned them white. Desiring them blue again she simply mixed with gasoline enough blue from an oil paint tube to give the desired shade. Into this they were dipped. After that they were shaken gently and hung on the clothesline by the tip ends. When dry they were well shaken. The ends may be curled, if one prefers, by simply drawing the fronds between the finger and a dull knife. French Belts. Parisians are wearing very elaborate leather belts, the leather being much tooled and glided after the fashion of old blindings, having solid gold buckles. With an ingenious cye for effect many women are wearing them back to front, the deep buckle coming in front, while the narrower one, with its holes for adjusting, goes at the back. This plan gives a pretty sloping line to the waist. The striped leather belt is very fashionable for the moment. The belts are of white suede and the stripes, about half an inch wide, run across. These have nothing at the back, and are fastened in front with a wide square or Byzantine buckle of bronze or gold. Ribbon Trimmings. For trimming children's afternoon dresses ribbons will be used a great deal. A last year's dress can be made to look like new if ribbon is skillfully used. Velvet, satin, gros-grain, and taffeta ribbons are the ones used. The trimming can be put on in almost any way one wishes. Another trimming is plaid material. A dress of plain cloth is trimmed with blas bands of plaid or check material of some contrasting shade. Braids are particularly fashionable for trimming both adults and children's dresses, and they are seen in many beautiful varieties. Hat Trimming Hint The merely flower-adorned hat is becoming hackneyed, but the idea is still being carried out by the milliners, as it has met with so much favor. The simple field blossoms and grasses look quite exquisite in conjunction with new felt hats, of rich butter color. White hats are still seen with the trimming of pure white roosters' feathers. Velvet ribbon is making its appearance as a hat trimming, and it is very successful when mingled with illusion net. Brims are lined with colored or black silk, or else a little bias covers the edge. Overcasting of Sleeves. To overcast the sleeve seams and baste them at the same time was the invention of one woman who was pressed for time. By overcasting the sleeves the basting was avoided and there were no basting threads to pull out. Sleeves put in in this manner are easier to stitch on the machine. FLOWER HOLDERS MADE FOR EITHER THE WALL OR THE TABLE. They Take the Place of the Old Fashioned Flower Baskets and Are Graceful and Charming. The most graceful and charming flower holders have now been placed upon the markets to take the place of the fascinating baskets which have been so popular that the searchers after novelty are eager for something new which may distinguish the floral decoration of their rooms and tables from that to be seen in the houses of their acquaintances. Porcelain cornucoplas suspended in a network of dried grass, rafa or cord are the newest sort of wall pockets. The shape of these hanging vases is not exactly that of a reconucopla either, because they slope more gradually toward the bottom and are more rounded than a cornucopla. Perhaps the shape is more nearly that of one of those common seashore shells, round and large at the top and sloping gracefully toward the bottom. The ware used for these hanging vases is a bright glaze and they are almost all in rather crude colors, vlid orange, equally vlid green, dark but brilliant red and bright blue. The network of brown or tan and a grass in which they are hung soften the colors of the vases. A loop of the rafa or cord is used for suspending them from a wall hook, gas arm or some similar suitable projection. These hanging vases are suspended over the table where there is a chandelier, and they are most decoratively used in this way. They are also hung from the doorways and in the windows, especially when there is a window of some size. A delicately beautiful vase for the table, in which for informal occasions flowers may be effectively arranged, is a slender silver upright, from which branch out the most graceful and beautiful morning glory cups, two on one side and three on the other. The cups, in the shape of morning glories, are of white glass with delicate opalescent tints, which fittingly represent the pale yet radiant tints of pink and blue which flush the petals of a white morning glory. The silver upright, which is mounted on an unobtrusive silver vase, is made to represent a slender shrub stem, and around this is a silver morning glory vine, which twines itself with all the grace of nature. The bells, or cups, are of course to be filled with flowers, and the silver upright may be joined with a delicate green vine to make a most charming centerpiece. Sweet peas, morning glories, lilies of the valley, with asparagus vine, tiny moss roses and smilax, garden pinks ragged ribbons, the delicate hot-house narcissus and innumerable other swell and graceful flowers, whose stems are not stiff, are charming in these vases. For table vases also there are lotus bowls, which are useful for another sort of blossom. These bowls are dull green in color, and are made of a heavy dull finish, with grayish suggestions in all the tones of green. They are decorated with slightly raised lotus blossoms, leaves and stems, all in the color of the bowl and formed into a conventional pattern. The bowls are quite large and very low; being almost entirely open at the top. A wire stand having convolutions of wires to hold the separate flowers is placed in the center of the bowl. Such a vase is suitable for an arrangement of roses, chrysanthemums, Queen Marguerites or carnations. There are also rather eccentric new vases, suitable for a child's room, but hardly attractive for an ordinary apartment. These are in the shape of frogs, fish and kittens, in whose open mouths the flowers are placed. These vases are all in very vivid colors, and are rather grotesque than attractive, although they are no doubt very much liked by children. They would be very suitable prize gifts for a children's party, and either boys or girls would probably be delighted with them. Our Handkerchief's Utility. From a lady's fancy hemstitched handkerchief one can make two turn over collars, one pair cuffs, and have the center left for another fancy handkerchief. Cut a strip across opposite sides for the turn overs, and the two pieces of border which are left can be made into cuffs by hemstitching the ends to correspond with the rest of the hem. Finish these with Persian lamb bands. You will also have a perfect square left in the center, which, after putting in a narrow hem and finishing with lace, makes a pretty handkerchief. Mrs. F. W. Reinold. Individual Perfumes. The woman who uses a scent at all should aim to have it individual as well as inclusive. Always choose the same perfume or sachet powder. The best effect is gained by keeping sachets of orris root among one's clothes. If the real Florentine orris is bought it keeps its strength indefinitely. If, however, a perfume is preferred, buy the very best you can afford, and then be downright stingy in the use of it. Remember, a mere sussion of violets or heliotrope is mysteriously fascinating; to reck of them is decidedly vulgar. 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 Pudding. 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. Irind the almonds fine first, then the ice, 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.

FAR FROM WISHING-TO HIDE OUR PRICES, we should like everyone in the city to become thoroughly familiar with them, so that they might compare them with those asked on similar grades of goods at other stores. We mark them all in plain figures to make comparison as easy as possible. It facilitates buying, too; for you can wait on yourselves if you wish, and it is plain evidence that we treat all alike and do not take advantage of anyone's ignorance of values. THE BETTER YOU BECOME ACQUAINTED with this store and its methods, the more clearly you will realize that it is our constant endeavor to do as well by our customers as we possibly can. We use every effort to have each article thoroughly satisfactory. If, after all, actual use discloses flaw or shortcoming, be as fair to us as we try to be with you — come and tell us, and we will make it right. OUR LINES OF FURNITURE are very extensive, and as complete as careful planning can make them. We have searched the entire country for new patterns and novel ideas, and have spent much time and thought in gathering the best examples of representatives styles. Each piece has had to stand close examination of its quality and construction, for we do not sell anything that we cannot honestly guarantee. CARPETS MADE AND LAID FREE We fully realize the importance of both the appearance and quality of Floor Coverings; so we have been exceedingly particular in choosing our stock. You can buy here with the full assurance that you are getting the best values that can be had anywhere, and we make no charge for sewing, laying, or lining carpets or for waste in matching figures.

We are always ready to extend the accommodation of credit, and there are no disagreeable features about opening an account here. All bills are payable at the store—no collector being sent to your house, except at your own request. DR.MILES' ANTI-PAIN PILLS FOR Headache FOR NEURALGIA. SCIATICA. RHEUMATISM. BACKACHE.
