VOL.27 NO.24 OUR SCHOOLS OUR SCHOOLS R L I G N OF T E R R O R EXISTS OF TEACHERS TAKEN BY SELESS LECTURES AND MEETINGS the introduction of Latin and Ger- n in the Seventh and Eighth grades the public schools is looked upon as accessary studies and an imposition on the teachers. Teachers are human, and they have obligations to look after as well as other public servants. After a teacher has worked the entire week he should be permitted at the close of the school week to attend to a little business of own. But this is not the case, however. He must attend some lecture of the superintendent on a Friday or some meeting on a Saturday. It is stated that a petition is in circulation among the citizens or parents whose children attend the Armstrong Manual Training School, asking them to express their approval or disapproval of the school. The duty of The Supervising Principals The Supervising Principals in the colored schools has been defined. The three colored supervising principals have been designated as follows: Dr. W. S. Montgomery has the marking of teachers from the first to the fourth or to the eighth grades, and Nolle has been designated a clerk to the two supervisors. This is a good position for Nolle. No doubt he will find time to attend to this line of work. He is no doubt the most unpopular supervisor in the colored schools. The general expression among the teachers is, "I taught today, but what I shall be doing tomorrow is a conjecture." This is the prevailing sentiment among the teachers. Of course Congress will be asked to relieve the teachers of this uncertainty and reign of terror that seems to prevail in the schools, and more especially in the colored schools. The mutual admiration meeting that was held at the residence of the assistant superintendent a few weeks ago, on which occasion a few quasi educators attended, is an evidence of the condition of unrest in the colored schools. The people will ask Congress to give them separate schools and their own officers, same as before. There is less progress in the colored schools now than ever before. The pupils are overtaxed; there are too many books, as well as too many studies. Many who leave the graded schools and enter the High and Normal Schools cannot spell correctly. A thorough English education is needed in the schools, and the only way to get it is a radical change in the school system. REGISTER VERNON. Register W. T. Vernon has been invited by the white and colored citizens of Durham, N. C., to be present at the preliminary public meeting of Dr. James Sheppard's new Christian enterprise which is to be the greatest institution among colored Americans in the United States. Dr. Sheppard is doing great work among the colored people in this country and there is no doubt that this the wenterprise will be the greatest monument in the world erected to the colored race. Register Vernon is to be the orator in the occasion. From all reports the reading white citizens of Durham, N. C. are taking a personal interest in the work, and are especially interested in the coming of this great colored orator to the State. It is estimated that two thousand people will greet Register Vernon. GONE TO REST. The funeral of Mrs. Alice R. Dorsey, the wife of James Henry Dorsey, the mother of Charles H. Dorsey, sister of Mrs. Fenton Copeland and Mrs. Georgiana Williams, and the daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Dickson, took place from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Monday, November 4, at 12 o'clock.

The meeting of the United Republican Clubs of the twentytwo old-Republican Legislative Districts met in the main auditorium of the Grand Army Hall last Thursday evening. It was a representative gathering of white and colored Republicans, who met to adopt plans for the coming election of delegates in the District of Columbia to the next National Republican Convention. The full capacity of the hall was taxed. The meeting was under the auspices of the W. Calvin Chase Republican Club of the District of Columbia, a club named for Mr. W. Calvin Chase in 1900, when he was elected one of the delegates to the Philadelphia convention that nominated the late President McKinley. There was a large representation of ladies present to listen to the speeches. At eight o'clock Attorney Thomas L. Jones, of the local bar, called the meeting to order, and introduced Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, of Trinity Baptist Church, who offered prayer, after which the chairman, Mr. Jones stated briefly the object of the meeting in an eloquent and pointed address, which will appear in full in the next issue of The Bee. Addresses were then delivered by others, which will also appear next week. Music was furnished by the Howard University Young Men's Christian Association Orchestra. The committee on address and resolutions, through Mr J. T. C. Newsom, reported the following, which was unanimously adopted: The United Republican Clubs of the District of Columbia, representing the twenty-two (22) old Legislative Districts, now assembled in an edifice named for those heroes who made this nation great and the republic the foremost in the civilized world, to the Republicans of the District and the Republican voters of the country. Greeting. We continue our allegiance to the grand old Republican party, firmly believing that upon its policies and principles depend our continued peace and prosperity—a prosperity the stability of which has recently been demonstrated in the checking of the flurry in the stock market and the banking world. We believe this stable prosperity to be more the result of the wisdom and the righteousness of Republican principles than to individual policy or direction, or to natural conditions. Upon its policies, also, depend the perpetual amity between the nations of the earth, and the mediation and arbitration of strifes that may exist between other nations. But, while we credit our present happy material and domestic conditions to Republican policies and principles, experience and necessity demand that we give increased attention to the character of men we select for public office, believing that in this nineteenth century of political wisdom and advancement, men are often more important than measures, and principles more than parties. We express our confidence in the wisdom and good judgment of the American people, and the expression of that wisdom at the polls, Tuesday, November 8, 1908, in no uncertain tone, which means confidence in the administration and the loyal representatives of the two legislative branches of our national government. The standard bearers of the Republican party, who are to be selected by the ensuing National Republican Convention, should be men who, idealize the principles of the late lamented Lincoln, Garfield, Grant, Sumner, Conkling, Morton and Chandler. Upon the wisdom and judgment of the delegates however we rely upon the selection of candidates who will unite all Republicans, regardless of individual preferences. To this end the Republicans, of the United Republican Clubs beg to advise the National Republican Committee that a delegated convention would be more acceptable to the Republicans of the District than the primary system which has heretofore been the occasion of riots, debauchery and bloodshed. It is further suggested that no candidate for delegate be permitted to serve upon the election committee, which has been the cause of so much dissatisfaction among Republicans. We believe in temperance, but let it be non-coercive, and with a due regard for personal rights and liberties. Whereas, a deplorable condition, now amounting almost to demoralization, exists among the Republicans of the District; and Whereas, this condition is due to the placing of Democrats in positions of honor and trust, to the exclusion of honest, faithful Republicans (which has (Continued to Page 4.) What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard Teachers in the public schools find it quite different now than what they did in years gone by. The demand now is, the return of superintendent George F. T. Cook. Rev. W. B. Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, must have been in need of speakers when he invited Bruce and Chancellor to address his Lycmeum. I am confident that the colored citizens will give the men who declared the colored schools a bar to the white a cool reception and a rebuke to Rev. Johnson, who is inclined to honor the enemies of the colored people. All good citizens will remain away from the new apologetic foreman of the Second Baptist Church. I want to congratulate my friends, Mr. Ralph W. Tyler on being the master of his office. He is the boss, and not his white deputy. He makes his own rules, and he protects all clerks alike. Uncle Joseph Cannon, Speaker of the [Image of a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression, wearing a dark suit and a hat.

Thomas Fortune has been buncoed at last. He is no longer the journalistic star of the East. His enemies have buncoed him out of his years of labor and prestige. The Age is not what it is used to be. What the people want is a judge of the United States branch of the Police Court. I am surprised to see so many advocates for prohibition and so few for human rights. The people of Washington are in need of protection from oppression. Whiskey is less dangerous than the shotgun, and prohibition advocates more dangerous than whiskey. The Southern colored man should not be given a bureau appointment because he is always subservient to his white underlings. Compare Ralph W. Tyler with many of our Southern appointees.

Senator Foraker is not a candidate, but I believe that he has a candidate in view. The colored Americans owe him a debt of gratitude, notwithstanding. Discrimination in the several departments of the government continues to exist. Colored clerks are oppressed by the understrappers. We need strong men at the head of government and not toadies. The colored citizen is a peculiar individual. He soon forgets and forgives the wrongs inflicted upon him. The Democratic party offers no encouragement to the colored voter, hence he cannot afford to support that parity. The people of Washington will stand by Dr. Lucy E. Moten. They now believe that she is a victim of prejudice and jealousy. The people are now in favor of separate schools with separate officers to govern them. A good judge doesn't always look for guilt in a defendant. There are times when a defendant by accident happens to a misfortune. Judge Barnard is a model for all judges to follow. I am of the opinion that Judges De Lacy and Cullen are two men whose Guilds cannot be found. They have sense and judgment. Dr. Atwood continues in poor health.

The cases pending against Joseph Thomas, alias John Wright, in the Circuit Court of Alexandria, one for the murder of Jackson Boney, one for criminal assault on Annie Green, and one for assault with intent to kill upon Forest Gooding, were all nolle prossed and dismissed from the docket yesterday, and the curtain rung down upon the scene of one of the most remarkable criminal cases in the history of the old Commonwealth. Crandal Mackey, attorney for the prosecution, stated to the court that, as Governor Swanson had seen fit to commute the sentence of death in the Risley case to life imprisonment, and as the Commonwealth had only one witness in the other cases pending, and did not know whether she would come to court or not, he had decided to ask for a noffle prosequi. Thereupon James E. Clements, the attorney who has so valiantly defended Wright, stated to the court that he had come prepared to try these cases, and that in his judgment there was not a scintilla of evidence to convict the prisoner; that he was innocent of the pending charges, as he was of the charge upon which he stands convicted; that the Risley case heretofore tried was twice before the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, and twice did two of the ablest judges of that tribunal, in strong and carefully considered opinions, declare that the evidence disclosed by the record was not sufficient to justify Wright's conviction, and these opinions alone were sufficient to influence the governor in granting a commutation, and in the eyes of all impartial citizens his conduct in doing so was worthy of commendation rather than censure. The three additional cases against the prisoner, which were dismissed to-day, comprised the charges of murder, assault, and assault with intent to kill. Thomas was indicted for killing a Negro named Jackson Boney, for assaulting Annie Green, colored, and for attempting to kill Forrest Gooding. The prisoner, who has been in the county jail for more than a year, will shortly be conveyed to the State Penitentiary in Richmond.

The Second Annual Convention of the Federation of Christian Women of the City of Baltimore and State of Maryland, at Leadenhall Street Baptist Church, Thursday and Friday, October 17 and 18 was indeed a decided success, notwithstanding the several conventions in different churches and Home Coming Week among the whites, our sessions were will attended. Quite every section of the city, and nearly all the churches, irrespective of creed, were represented. Effective work was done. Resolutions asking for better facilities for the colored schools in rural districts, and for a legislative enactment prohibiting our women and girls from buying beer at the saloon were also presented. Thanks were also extended the Superintendent anf Board of Public Schools for putting all of the colored schools in Baltimore under control of colored teachers and for the large appropriations made for new school houses and improvements to others. About sixty organiazitions are now under control of the Federation and we hope at the next meeting to be able to report at least a hundred. Able papers were read and discussed: "What Shall We Do with our Girls?" by Mrs. E. J. Truxon; "Our Nearest Duty," by Mrs. Pendleton, of Washington; "Shall Women Be Wage Earners?" by Mrs. Susie Love, Mrs. Helen Cooper and others. Spirited discussions were made by Mrs. Belle, of Washington; Mrs. J. T. Jenifer and the president, Mrs. Mary, Handy. The Temperance Question was presented by Mrs. A. R. H. Miller, and discussed by Mrs. E. J. Cummings, Mrs. Basil, Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Harriet J. Hilliard. The report of the organizer, Mrs. J. T. Jenifer, was fine. A number of neighborhood clubs, day nurseries, parents' meetings and entertainments, as well as instruction for the betterment of the condition of our boys and girls, were also presented. The Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Club made their report through Mrs. Florence Owens. They have purchased a place of ten acres near Baltimore, as a summer country home for poor children. Seven hundred dollars have been paid and plans are now on the way to equip it. Mrs. M. J. Murphy, president, presented the needs of the Y. W. C. A. We have paid $4,500 for our building, not owing one cent, and have nearly a hundred dollars in bank. We intend to erect a back building for a laundry plant. Devotional exercises were led by Mrs. Edith Brooks, Mrs. Cornelia Anderson and Madame Cooper; Miss Jeanette Jones, pianist. The Federation of Maryland voted to enter the National Federation of Christian Women. Mrs. J. T. Jenifer was elected president; Mrs. A. L. McQuinn, secretary; Mrs. A. R. H. Miller, organizer and lecturer, 557 Presstman street, Baltimore, Md.: Mrs. Harriet A. Hilliard, chairman of the executive board; Mrs. E. J. Cumming, treasurer. The Federation of Women of Baltimore is doing a great work for the upbuilding of the race. A great future is looked for for this organization, with such noble women at its head as Mrs. J. T. Jenifer, Mrs. A. R. H. Miller, Mrs. M. F. Handy, Mrs. Hearst, Mrs. Harriet Millard and others. Miss R. E. Bell had the honor of addressing this noble body of women on last Friday night. She urged them to preach race unity among our people, and to come together and help the people who help us, particularly those who stand for justice—Hon. J. B. Foraker. He did not help us because of the race, but for the cause of justice. He would have done the same for any other race that had been unjustly treated. She urged them to direct their husbands, brothers and sons how to cast their votes in the right direction. THE PEOPLE AROUSED Arrangements are being made by the colored citizens committee to have all the colored churches in the District of Columbia to petition Congress to have the colored schools separated from the whites, with their own colored superintendent and officers, as hertofore. The people are aroused and it is evident that Congress will accede to the wishes of the colored people. The colored schools are in a terrible condition, and the teachers are unable to do their duty. IN TIME OF PRESERVES. Best Method of Putting Up Grapes and Quinces. As this is the season when grapes and quinces are plentiful, the following two recipes sound attractive. Select large bunches of perfect grapes, and with a silver fork prick each one carefully; put them in preserve jars that have been thoroughly cleansed, and stand them in a shallow pan of hot water so that they will not cool. Make a brandy sirup by cooking together three quarts of water with seven pounds of sugar until very thick, remove from the fire and add an equal quantity of best brandy; reheat and pour immediately over the grapes; seal and do not use for a month or two. Of course, a smaller quantity can be made as an experiment. Peel half a peck of quinces and cut in thick slices, dropping them in cold water to prevent discoloration; then drain well and add two pounds of figs, sliced in quarters, and three oranges cut into cubes; place in a preserving kettle and cover with cold water cooking until the quinces are soft. Take out the fruit and from the water in which they were cooked make a sipr, allowing three pounds of granulated sugar and the white of one egg to every pint and a half of liquid. As soon as the scum rises, add a tablespoonful of cold water; skim until you have a very clear heavy sipr, then return the fruit and cook about five or ten minutes; pour into jars and seal with air-tight covers. / HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To remove rust on copper rub the article with liquid ammonia: Never put salt in soup when cooking it until it is skimmed, as salt prevents the scum from rising. The best housekeeper is the one who passes less time in making things clean and more thought in keeping them clean as she goes. Keep camphor in cupboards where clothes are stored, for not only will it keep away moths, but mice, which dislike it exceedingly. Paraffin split on a stone floor may be removed by rubbing bath brick over the nark and letting it stay till next day, then wash in the usual way and the floor will be perfectly clean. Paint can be removed from glass by rubbing it with hot, strong vinegar. Stains on the hand can be removed by acetic acid or salts of lemon and ink marks will soon yield to pumice stone. It is said that potatoes will bake in much less time if the skins are greased before putting them into the oven. The skins will come off more easily and will be as thin as when boiled. Washington Pie. Scald one pint of milk in a double boiler. Beat together the yolks of two eggs, a cup of sugar, a piece of butter the size of an egg and a heaping tablespoonful of corn starch made smooth in a little water. Stir these into the scalding milk until thoroughly cooked, then set away to cool. Make a rich crust, roll very thin, line your pie dish and, with a fork prick many holes in it and bake. By the time the crust is done have the cream cool. Flavor it with a teaspoonful of vanilla, pour it into the crust, beat the eggs to a stiff froth with a little powdered sugar, spread lightly on top of the pie and brown slightly in the oven. Pin Cushion for the Machine. When sewing on the machine one often wastes a lot of time having to look for the pin cushion, which usually is under the sewing machine and out of sight. A great time saver is to cut an oblong piece of flannel two inches by four and at one end cut a hole the size of a pea. Hem all four sides of the flannel neatly, and buttonhole stitch the hole. Slip this over the spindle where the spool belongs before the spool is placed on it. You will be able to take pins out of your work and stick them in this piece of flannel without stopping the machine. Stuffed Noodle. One cup cold chicken or veal chopped fine, one-half cup of cold cooked spinach finely mashed, one onion minced, one slice of bread softened in milk, and a beaten egg, mixed well together, pepper and salt to taste. Make a noodle dough of an egg yolk, pinch of salt, and flour to make a stiff paste, roll thin and cut out with biscuit cutter; place a teaspoonful of chicken mixture on one side and pinch edges tightly, using a little water to make them stick. Drop them in boiling water and boll ten minutes, and you have a dish fit for a king. If any of these "stuffed noodles" are left, fry in butter for the next meal. A Seasonable Salad The ripe eating plums in market now make a delicious salad when combined with bananas. Cover with powdered sugar and a little sherry, if it is wanted, and let the fruit stand on ice for an hour before dressing. It is delicious served with whipped cream. Finely shredded pineapple, enough to give the whipped cream a flavor, makes an excellent blend in place of wine. Avoid Tearing Ham. In cutting meat from hams and shoulders, there is always some good meat left on the bones, which looks scrapy when cut off. I bought a small tapping saw and now have nicely shaped, clean cut slices by sawing through the bone as I come to it, and there is no waste and there are no scraps left. Cut a pound of beefsteak up into small pieces, which should be nearly square; season each with pepper and salt, roll up and dust lightly with flour. Rub a deep dish well with a freshly cut onion and place the rolls of meat in it; sprinkle over them some chopped parsley and a little finely minced pork; pour in sufficient weak stock or water to cover the meat, cover closely, and cook in a moderate oven one hour. Take two pigeons which have been prepared for cooking in the usual way and well washed and dried, and cut up into neat pieces; remove the skin and flour them and put them into a frying pan with some melted drippings, a teaspoon of minced onion, the same quantity of minced parsley, and let them fry nicely browned, turning them frequently; then place them on paper to drain. When the steak is ready, arrange it and the pieces of pigeon in layers in a deep dish with some slices of hard boiled egg. Strain the gravity in which the steak was cooked into a saucepan and add a small quantity of soaked gelatin to it (in the proportion of a quarter of an ounce to a pint of liquid); stir until the gelatin is dissolved, then add a little grated nutmeg, cayenne, and salt; pour the gravity over the meat in the dish and leave it until cold; then cover with rich paste, brush it over with beaten egg, and bake in a moderately hot oven. WHEN CALLERS DROP IN. Almond Wafers Are Delicious to Have in Readiness. Beat to a cream a quarter cup butter, then rub in one-half cupful powdered sugar. Add drop by drop a quarter cupful milk, then, gradually, seven-eighths cup sifted flour. Flavor with a half teaspoonful vanilla or pistache, and spread very, thinly over the bottom of an inverted dripping pan and cut in three-inch squares. Sprinkle with chopped blanched almonds and brown delicately in a very slow oven. Take from the oven, turn the squares over one by one with a knife, and roll loosely. Take up and spread on a waxed paper to cool and dry. If the squares harden before you get them all rolled, place over the fire a minute to soften. Serve with cocoa, afternoon tea, ice cream or preserves. The Attle Room In cities the attic room is given as much attention as any part of the house. A clever arrangement of such a room is to paper it all in white and make a fancy border near the ceiling outlined with a fancy wide paper. The hunting scene is pretty if matched with some red rug on the floor. Have the furniture all white, the bed and dresser trimmed in white and dotted white curtains at the windows. It can be made very attractive with neat furnishings and decidedly unattractive if not nicely papered or filled with refuse furniture from other rooms. Olive Oil on Bruises. In the treatment of bruises, where there is extensive discoloration of the skin, if olive oil be applied freely without rubbing, the discoloration quickly will disappear. Absorbent cotton may be soaked in the oil and applied. If the skin is broken a little boric acid should be applied over the abrasion. A black eye thus treated can be rendered normal in a few hours, especially if the oil be applied warm. To Sew on Buttons When buttonholes on a shirt waist are finished, sew on upper and lower button. Then button and see that the buttonhole hem evenly overlaps the button hem. Lay waist on table; insert a strip of cardboard the length of the waist underneath both hems, and with a tracing wheel gently press into each buttonhole. Unbutton waist and you have a faint mark where each button is to be sewed without measuring for each one separately. Grated Corn Fritters Use one plint of grated sweet corn and half cup of milk, one-half cup of flour, one tablespoonful of melted butter, two eggs, a little salt and pepper, one teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix the milk and well beaten eggs together, add the melted butter and seasoning, then the flour and baking powder sifted together. Lastly stir in the grated corn. Drop by the tablespoonful in hot fat. Drain on brown paper and serve hot. Darn Carnet with Ravellings For mending thin places in rugs and carpets, use some of theravelings from the carpet, which should be saved for the purpose. Darn the thin places and three-cornered tears where they cannot be detected. The fringe and tassels of rugs and portieres can be darned and fastened in the same way. Tin Coffee Pots. A new tin coffee pot, if never washed on the inside with soap, may be kept much sweeter. Wash the outside and rinse the inside thoroughly with clear scalding water. Turn up on the stove to dry. When dry rub well with a clean dry cloth. Never put a soapy cloth inside the coffee pot. Brald Your Wraps Coats and wraps will nearly all be braided this winter, and the binding of braid will be particularly in favor. Very satiny finished cloths are the favorite background for the braid, which in itself will be of the silkiest kind and of many new thick bold designs. Lemon Flavor Adds to Any Dish—Butter Sauce With Eggs —How to Prepare Flavor- ing of Lentils. (Copyright, 1807, by the Delineator, N. Y.) Lemon Sauce.—(1) When used for boiled fowls: Peel and seed a large lemon and cut in small slices. Chop fowl's liver, which has been boiled, very fine; add it to the lemon, with half a pint of melted butter. Serve in a sauceboat. (2) When used for fish: Put a quarter of a pound of butter in a saucepan; add the juice of a large lemon, with pepper and salt to taste. As it heats, beat it constantly so that it may become thick and hot without boiling. When cooked sufficiently, remove and add the beaten yolks of two eggs. (3) A sweet lemon sauce for puddings: Boll a pint of water and a coffee-cupful of granulated sugar together for five minutes; then add three heaping teaspoonfuls of corn starch that have previously been mixed with cold water. Finally, add both the grated rind and the juice of a large lemon and a tablespoonful of butter. Cook until the butter has melted; then serve. Lemon Butter Sauce.—Put two table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar and half that quantity of corn-starch in a saucepan; grate the rind of one lemon over the top; then add half a pint of boiling water, the juice of the lemon and a piece of butter about the size of a hickory nut. When these ingredients have blended thoroughly, add, little by little, the beaten yolk of two eggs, being careful to stir the mixture constantly during the minute or two that it must remain over the fire. Otherwise the eggs will be certain to curdle. Lentil Sauce.—Soak the lentils in cold water about six hours. Drain them and put them in a saucepan with some bones of ham, or a quarter of a pound of salt pork; cover with water, and season with bayleaf, thyme, parley, a chopped carrot and two onions in which some cloves have previously been thrust. When cooked sufficiently remove the pork and discard the herbs and onions, but mash the carrot through a colander with the liquid. If too thick, add the necessary quantity of good broth to thin; season with pepper, salt and butter, and, when the butter has melted, serve. Cold Potatoes Scalloped. Cut cold boiled or baked potatoes into dice until you have a large cupful. Have ready an equally large cupful of rich drawn butter, into which you have beaten the yolks of two eggs and a heaping tablespoonful of finely grated cheese. Put a layer of potato dice in the bottom of a buttered dish; pepper and salt to taste. Some think it is improved by a few drops of onion juice. Cover with the sauce and go on in this order until the materials are used up. Sprinkle fine cracker crumbs and grate cheese on top; stick bits of butter in this crust, salt and pepper. Bake, covered, for half an hour, then brown. Yellow Tomato Preserves Allow a pound of sugar to each pound of tomatoes and a half cup of water to each pound of fruit. Cover the tomatoes with boiling water, then skim. Make a syrup of the sugar, and when boiling skim and add the tomatoes. Have ready a sliced lemon that has been cooked in boiling water and a little sliced ginger. Add to the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes are clear, remove, pack in jars, cook the syrup until thick, pour over and seal. - Stuffed Potatoes Bake six good sized potatoes, and when done remove from the oven, cut a slice from the top of each and carefully remove the inside. Mash this thoroughly and add two tablespoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of hot milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Last, add the whites of two eggs well beaten. With this mixture refill the skins, place in a hot oven, and bake for five minutes. Nut Sandwiches Take mayonnaise or firmly whipped sweet cream, thicken with powdered or chopped nut meats—walnuts, pecans, almonds, filberts or Brazil nuts are nice—or a mixture of several varieties is good. The addition of ralsins to the mixture is an improvement in flavor. Made with tea biscuit or finger rolls they are very nice and require no butter. Mutton Feet a la Creole Clean the feet well, but leave them whole. They can be bought already bolled. Fry in hot lard, onions and a spoonful of flour. When browned add tomatoes and a can of sweet peppers. When done put in the feet and add mushrooms, the seasoning bouquet, and salt and pepper to taste. Purify Water. To purify water add powdered alum to the water in the proportion of one teaspoonful to every four gallons. If you stir this briskly you will find that all impurities will be precipitated to the bottom, while the rest of the water will be left pure and clear.

MAGNIFICENT RUSSIAN CHURCH: Memorial to Murdered Czar Opened at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg.—The new Church of the Redeemer was recently opened by Czar Nicholas II. in memory of his murdered grandfather, Alexander I. For hours before the arrival of the Imperial party traffic over the three Neva bridges was suspended. Police- men were posted in front of every house along the route of the czar from the landing place to the new church, and owners of -houses were menaced with a fine of $1.500 for opening their windows while bls majesty passed. The Imperial party landed near the British embassy. The Neva was patroled by police launches, and the public was not allowed within many hundred yards of the memorial church in any direction. The church has been erected at a cost of $2,500,000. The Grst stone was laid In 1887.

R. W. BINGHAM, 35 YEARS OLD, RULES LOUISVILLE, KY. Entire Cabinet Composed ‘of Young Men—What They Have Done— Youthful Government Result of Court Decision. Louisville, Ky.—Mr, William Dean Howells described “A Boys’ Town.” It he should come to Louisville he would find material for “A Young Man's Town." Loulsville ts now experiencing gov- ernment by men who are comparative youths and fs also experiencing the most vigorous administration of the Jaws she has enjoyed In years. This youthful government Is the dl- ‘Tect result of the recent decision of ‘the court of appeals which ousted the former administration of Loulsville on the ground of an unfair election and delegated to Gov. Beckham, bimself a ‘man weil this side of 40, the power to fill practically all tho offices. Here are some of the principal officers: . Robert Worth Bingham, mayor, 35 years old; A. Scott Bullitt, sheritf, 30; Robert Lee Page, county attorney, 28; W. W. Davies, chairman of the board of safety, 32; James B. Brown, chalr. man of the board of works, 32; Dr. Ellis Duncan, coroner, 34, and Will N. Cox, member of the board of works, 35. ‘The board of safety and the board of works control all the departments and have charge of all the work done by the city of Louisville, so the chatr- men of these boards, with the mayor, practically dominate the city. The frst thing Mayor Bingham did when he came into office was to give notice that the “lid” must stay down on Sunday. He appointed a chief of police who would carry out his orders a | A and his board of safety gave the police force a shaking up that proved decis- ively it meant business. The result has been to show that a “Iid’ can be kept on when It is meant to stay on. Loutsviile is a dry town on Sunday | now. There are scarcely any attempts to tilt the “lid,” and these are speedily | checked by the police, who are exer- clsing the eternal vigilance that Is the ‘price of a well fitting “lid.” The mayor did more, He took the police and fire departments out of politics, started an investigation of ‘city institutions that revealed a feay- ful condition of the city hospital, that ig belng remedied; exposed and stopped a number of grafts and Is now having an Investigation of the water company, Loulsville’s prize municipal institution, the affairs Of which have been carefully kept from the public Tor 30 years and which is suspected of having been the scene of riotous ex- travagance, A few days after Sheriff Bullitt en- tered his office he assembled bis force of deputies, without saying where they were going, piled them into auto- mobiles, dashed out to the poolrooms, raided them, arrested the operators and stripped down the blackboards and paraphernalia and closed the doors. They have remained closed tight since. The cases of those arrested are pending In the county court, where Mr. Page, the youthful county attor- | ney, is prosecuting them as vigorously as Sheriff Bullitt ‘raided. As the result of the vigorous work of these young men Loulsville is en- Joying the best city government it has known within the memory of a feneration. The latest achievement of Mayor Bingham and Sheriff Bullitt has been | to prevent a street car strike which. threatened the greatest Industrial con- filet ever known here. | ‘Thelr Fussy Husbands. . The women—there were three of them—had arrived at the stage of confidence in their conversation which made it possible to exchange views regarding mere man as exempll- fled by their husbands. “Talk about fussiness** said one, “I'd ike to have you cater for John through a week. What do you sup- pose he asked for the other morning? He sald the only way that bacon ought to be cooked was to have the fat crisp and the lean part just warmed through.” “My husband,” sald the second suf, ferer, “won't drink orange juice un- less {t bas been strained twice.” “and mine,” sald the third, more in sorrow than in anger, “won't touch grapes unless I can assure him that they have been washed in at least three waters.” OLD PAPERS PAY HIS WAY. Kansas Youth's Unusual Way of De fraying College Expenses. Boston.—Ralph Bunker, a graduate of the Sabetha high school in Kansas, took.an unusual way of assisting in defraying his expenses at Harvard college for the ensuing year. Several weeks ago, with the asslst- ance of two or three little boys and a home-made wagon, drawn by a white burro, young Bunker Started the task of collectnig old papers and maga- zines for the paper mill of the Kansas City Star. In a short space of time he collected between three and four tons of old papers in a town of 2,000 Inhabitants, Had he had more time to devote to the work he could eas- ik a iy > ud 0 Aypser ean me AAT AA ( LISTE HAs - Ralph Bunker and His Paper Wagon, ily have secured a carload and poss! bly two. He went about the business In a methodical manner. Monday morn Ings he visited the residences, secur- ing therefrom the voluminous Sunday editions of city papers, as well as the week's accumulation of newspapers and scraps, At some homes there were many old magazines that their owners had long wished to get rid of. Others gladly gave him the advertis- ing sheets from the magazines when they desired to retain the reading mat- ter. : Bunker called at the stores three times a week. He supplied all busl- ness houses with boxes into’ which every scrap of paper was thrown. When he called there was no neces- sity of annoying any one; he simply cleaned out the box. All alleys and outlying districts were visited one of the remaining days of the week and were left In bet- ter shape than they had been found tor years. |, The last day, Saturday, which was too busy a day for both housekeepers ‘and storekeepers to be disturbed by any one, Mr, Bunker wisely devoted to packing and binding his papers in bundles to be ready for shipment. Sabetha women and merchants were rather enthusiastic over the at- tempt of Mr. Bunker, which not only assisted him, but disposed of the sum- mer problem of what to do with pa- pers with no furnace running. Sa- betha, always a well-kept town, was absolutely Spotless Town during the Paper collection. Mr. Bunker made enough money to pay for his board and room for sev- eral weeks. | FEW WOMEN WANT OFFICE, Experience In Colorado Shows Fair Sex Cares Little for Political Plums, Denver, Col—Contrary to expecta tion, It was found in a recent investt- gation of the subject In Colorado that few women had any desire to hold of. fice.

PRISON FOR WOMEN. | Many Cheerful Faces Seen Among In- mates of Dreary Place—Philosophy | of French People There Exemplified. | Paris—Henry Jones once sald of the French people that their philoso- phy of life was 40 years ahead of the times. It {s a philosophy that makes them receive good and bad luck with the same cheerful smile, the same careless shrug of the shoulders. One finds {t exemplified in its most hopeless environment at St. Lazare, the women’s prison éf Paris. It is a great, dreary bullding, this St. Lazare, but no one seems to feel any sense of its gloom or pathos. Outside tn the early morning will be standing a group of people walting to see relatives or friends, a character- istic Parisian group: A young man of the Apache type, hat well pulled down over a low brow, very high col- Jar and skin of that waxen pallor pe- cullar to the Parisian boulevardier; three smiling, coqnettishly dressed women without hats, a clean little old man who talks to himself and empha- sizes the monologue by beating with his stick on the pavement, and 4 sharp faced little girl whose red stock- ings hang down over a dilapidated pair of boots much too big for her. It 1s this last who speaks, addressing all the group: “I've come to bring my sister some of hey duds. She's been pinched again: It's the fourth time.” - “Oh, well,” answers the pale young man, “that's all right, little one. You will know the road when your turn comes.” . When the smiling old porter opens the gates a nun comes forward to re- ceive the visitors and to take the things they have brought or to allow them the Interviews they ask for. In a large room on the right are the clothes of the prisoners. These are all taken away from them when they enter the prison, to-be kept un- Ul stich time’as the owners are en- titled to go out into the world again. When the finery is all discarded the new inmate puts on a uniform—a coarse gown with fichu, a neat little bonnet—and wooden shoes. All their weapons of ‘charm are taken away from them—all but thelr ndtural coquetry, which no power can divest them of. Fichus are tled with care, hair is puffed out under the de- mure cap, and the first thing relatives are asked to bring to St. Lazare is a looking glass. Yes, every woman there,-no matter how poverty-stricken, old or ugly, has her bit of a mirror hung up in her Uy ik . y aot EM OY obi ile a —— Pha Yy ~ ae a 4 hk Le 8 RO wel eae ae | ast om irae 3 ee F St. Lazare, the Women’s Prison in Paris. cell, and more often than not it re- flects a happy, smiling and pretty face. They seem to enjoy this change of costume, and sometimes a newcomer will try a few steps In the wooden shoes when the sister fn charge 1s not looking. Tn one corridor are the women whose children have been born in the prison. The mothers look happy-and the children are rolling about healthy and rosy as children anywhere. “They do very well here,” says the nun. “They are warm and comfort: able and every one spoils them.” Next to the corridor of the bables who are born here Is that of the old women who will dle here, and very pleased with thelr life they look as they sit chatting of former successes in the days of thelr youth and beauty. In a workroom is a nun with two women helping her to mend Iinen, One is the girl who threw vitriol at a faithless lover not long ago. « “Yes,” she says in speaking of It, “Tam sure he will lose an eye, though Tonly meant to burn bis neck. I never do have any luck!” The other girl fs a tall brunette from the Midi, who has been here four times for theft. She stole first be cause her little boy erfed with hunger. That sent her'to St. Lazare for two months. After that work was even more dif- ficult to get. One doesn’t come out of St. Lazare with a spotless reputation. When asked what she will do when she served her term this time, she replies with a bright smile: “Oh, Til have to go to Italy or some place far away from Paris now. I'd work if I could, really; I'd be a faith. ful and devoted domestic if some one would only pay me 50 francs a month. But no one will, go I'll have to go on stealing. One must live, you know.” And the nun sitting by nods sympa- thetically. © - Teakwood, or Indian oak, will sink in water.

It fs sald that he found his favorite pastime in tor- turing his subjects with the most ex- traordinars reflnement of crueltyy and that on many occastons the victins were his own wives. Recently, it is stated, he had seven of them executed at once, and the body of one of these Women, who had incurred his special enmity, was cooked and served at din- ner to bis household. Others of his wives were bolled In oll, and various members of the royal household were thrown into the cages of wild beasts, the king looking on with delight. - At about the same time, St was re- ported, Than-Thal, with his own hand, shot and killed a prince 70 years old, a member of the Council of the Royal!

When the French resident protested, the king replied by forbidding him to enter the palace, It fs sald that In the king’s seraglio wero 1,000 wives and other women and thelr servants.

Reflections of a Prison Warder Whose Wife Had Taken a Prisoner's Cake. Rather an original story comes from the criminal prison at Warsaw, Rus- sia. A bookkeeper, named Schneider, was awaiting his trial, being charged ith fraud. As his health was bad bis Tamily sent him many little delicactes unknown fn the prison fare, delicactes which, no doubt, the head warder vhared with him. ‘The other day. among other things, x buge iced cake appeared. The warder's children were fond of cake, and so was his wife. They therefore determined to keep half of It for them- selves. Their surprise was great when, upon applying 2 knife to the dafaty, {t stuek just below the fcing and refused to fo any further. “It must be baked to a cinder,” dad Mrs. Warder. ‘But her good man, sus- pecting that something worse than careless baking was responsible for the cake's hardness, cut round the aides, and was rewarded by finding a revolver and seven cartridges buried in the paste. ‘When brought up before the authori. Yes Schnelder confessed that he had Intended to shoot bis guardians and escape from prison before his trial. “After all,” sald the warder, pensively, when he told his story, “honesty is not always the best policy, If my wife had not cut into that caké I should have been a dead man by now, for I sleep bard.” Habit of Remembering.

We can increase our facility of recollection by concentrat- ing the attention at the time we re ceive the impression, and then by re- peatedly calling up the same {dea af- terward, just as a child Is taught the multiplication table.

The agony is over, and no doub the Admiistration is convinced that the American people are not satis. fied with its policies. What has theAdministration been benefited by the appointment of Democratic heads of the several de- partments ,to the exclusion of Re- publicans? Republicans everywhere have been ignored and ‘Democrats appointed, with the hope of aiding someone personally. f Kentucky went Republican. The Bee as well as others will hail the retum of that State to the Republi- can fold, because innocent men like Caleb-Powers, Ex-Governor Taylor and others -will now be vindicated. In New York Tammany has defeat: ced the fusion ticket of Hearst and Parson. New Jersey has turned a ‘double, back-hand somersault ;Ohio —or, rather, Cleveland—gavePres- ident‘ Roosevelt the “most unkind- est cut of all.” Representative Bur- ton, who was to vindicate Presi- dent Roosevelt's unconstitutional act, got it in the neck. As The Bee predicted that he would. This vindicates Senator Foraker,who act- ed the part of a great man after he had been assaulted by the Presi- dent. Of course, we expected noth- ing else from Massachusetts but a Republican landslide. Mississippi and Virginia went as was expected. “From nothing nothing comes.” The advice of The Bee to the Ad- ministration is, to take care of its friends and let its enemies go float- ing, and unless this is done there will be a Waterloo to the Republi- can party in 1908, * NOMINEE OF ‘THE PARTY ane Vemocratic party offers no inducements whatever to the col- ored Americans in this country. It is quite evident that that party does not cater to the colured voters, ‘and it woul] be folly for that vote to to go where it is not wanted. . The next question is, then, Where ‘shall the colored vote go? The Republican party has made every effort to establish lily white organ izations throughout: the 'South for the purpose of drawing to it cer- tain Democratic support, but with- aut success. Republican leaders and Republican organizations have been ignored in the South, and the power placed into che hands of prejudiced Democratic referees. What has the Republican _ party gained by by the action of the Re- publican administration? While it is the‘duty of every president to be a Democrat or a Republican and to be President of all the people, it is certainly bad politics to place into the hands of the enemy the distri- bution of patronage that our friends are able to control or dispense, The question is, however, Will the colored voter support the nom- ince of the Republican party, or will he cast his vote with the So- cialist or Prohibition party, or go to the enemy? Let the colored vor- er decide. . UNITED REPUBLICAN . CLUBS. The meeting of the United Re- publican Clubs at GrandArmy Hall last Thursday evening was a dem- Onstration worthy to be consid- ered. The Republicans tumed out and showed their appreciation of the principles of the Republican party. The speeches were enthusi- astic, sound and logical. The reso- lutions adopted by the meeting spoke in no uncertain sound. They appear in full in The Bee this week, which the Republicans appreciate. ‘The inform the Administration that Republicans are not fairly treated in the distribution of patron. age: they recommend the appoint- ment of a judge to succeed Judge Kimball at the expiration of his term of service, and conclude by demanding the abolition of our ‘present public school system. * The Republicans appeal to Con- ‘gress to remedy the evils that exist in our general and local govern- mee It can be done by proper legislation. # f DR. LUCY MOTEN. ‘The secret of the opposition to Dr, Lucy Moten emanates trom two women who are near to the school authorities. Both of these Women are opposed to Dr. Moten because she refused to subscribe to color prejudice which is so deeply instilled into the hearts of these two females. This prejudice dates several years back, when one of these females was in her social glo- ry. Dr. Moten declined to be a party to this color prejudice, and she lias never been forgiven, * Several members of Congress have agreed to have the colored Schools imvestigated, which will bring out some startling incidents. Aside from the case of Dr. Mo- ten, other damaging testimony will be brought out: against certain of the school officials who have been 4a party to many school irregulari- ties. . . FAIR ELECTIONS. * In the’ election of delegates from the District of Columbia, it should be carefully considered. There should be a delegated convention, instead of a primary. A delegated convention will give greater satis- faction. It should be a representa- tive convention of both white and colored Republicans. There is no reason whatever that we should not have a convention that will reflect credit upon the Republican party in the District of Columbia. There are lots of good men from whom the Republicans can select, such men as General George H. Har- tis, Chapin Brown, Ex-Public Drin- ter Ricketts, Dr, W. S. Richard: son, and others.” Any of the above would reflect ‘credit upon the Re- publican party of the District of Columbia. . "NO NEW QUARTERS | NEEDED. It is stated that the Superintend- ent of Public Instruction is in need of larger and more cyamodious quarters, This is an unnecessary expense. When Congress convenes and “passes an act separating the schools the old quarters in the Sumner Building Will be sufficiently adequate to accommodate the of- ficers of our schools, The colored superintendent can go to the Sumner Building, and if we have a separate board it can meet there as before. \ The people, that is, the corgred people, demand a separation and the management of their own schools. THE COLORED SCHQOLS. the colored citizens of Washing- ton are taking a lively interest ir our public school system. Thou- sands of them are anxious to have their schools under the imanage- ment of their own people, with Ex- eats George F. T. Cook at the head. When Mr, Cook was superintendent the “colored schools were in a flourishing condition.Mr. ook was an honor to the schools and a credit to the people. The appeal will be made to the next Congress by the colored pco- ple for the control of their schools. ROSCOE. The editor of the National View is a jovial mortal, He is greatly disturbed about“the interlopers that infest this city. They were too numerous for the editor of the No- tional View; hence he took his leave for New York, They are the disturbing clement in the city,young man. oe Read the program of the coming anniversary of Howard University, Tt will be a great event, ‘The present public school sys- tem shoul. be abolished. Jf UNEASY. From the National View. We have always been duly impressed with the deserved and admirable es- teem-in which the black Blaine (or was Blaine the white Chase?) held himself, and shone forth in the dazzling splendor ‘of his omnificence; but it is, to say the least. surprising, if not exciting, to read from his inspired and divinely-kissed pen, that he is not ashamed of a com- parison, in his attinide toward men, with “Jehovah or King or Lotd.” Rather does he frankly and brayely make it! |However, we have never for a moment ‘doubted that Lord William, was a proph ct, more blessed and nearer the Throne than the cloud-son of Cumae. Re that as it may, we trust that Mr. Chase will heat down those who are usurpers in the Republican party of the interloper-ridden District of Columbia. Grand Master Houston left’ the city on Thursday for a trip North. While absent he will visit the Order in New York and attend the monthly meeting of his Board in Philadelphia, besides in- specting the new headquarters of the G. U. O. or O. F. being creeted in that city. ALABAMA’S OPINION OF BRUCE |From the Birmingham Reporter. R. C, Bruce, who has been posing a ‘the Negro’s great orator and thinker is now taking his first lessons in civil government. Bruce met his Waterlo when striking at Chase through a poor humble woman, who,knows nothing but honesty. ~ No more Bruce, who seeks the ad- vantage of a poor, struggling woman. Give the people Duboise. He is all right for the place. Who knows why Bruce left Tuske- gee, the greatest industrial school in the world and endowed with plenty of money and honors? Bruce will be continued in our’ next issue. as he is a belly crawler whom the public should know. Who will support Bruce in Washing- ton after treating the poor cofored wom- an as he did? The man who supports him will Ge particeps criminis, and we are sure the good people of Washington will nop stand ‘for such. The reunion of the Odd Fellows will open up in Calera, Ala, October 31. Thousands of people will attend.’ The Grand Lodge officers are expected. Ev- eryone in the bounds of this point should make it a special occasion for your own information, Chase will win out and Bruce will go to the wall, und Dr. Duboise® will doubtess get his place. Bruce has evi- dently been trying to play the lizard shufile, and the result seems to be that he hay talked himself out of a~job. If Bruce is really guilty of the charge of trying to defeat a poor, honest wom- an for her position in the Washington City schools the Washington citizens as soon as such a thing is proven should drum him out of the city. Let Washington have Dr. Duboise. He will at least tell the truth about women, Wonder why Mr. R.-C. Bruce don’t tell why he left Tuskegee? He seems to ‘know about the leaving of others and their ability. It appears to us that Bruce has gotten into one of those sneaking, denying spirits which prefers to do the right than the wrong. | STAND BY THE REPUBLICAN. From the Charlotte Advertiser, You are right, Mr. Editor of the Conservator, in complimenting Mr. Wil- iam Jennings Bryan on his good be- havior toward the Negro in making his speeches in the South. Mr. Bryan was in ovr city several weeks ago. and it was our mot fortune to hear him de- liver what we consider a speech that was full of thought, inforamtion and in- struction. From beginning to end no; a single utterance came from him con: cerning the: Negro. In speaking of the average mani he used general terms that ‘would apply to all men alike, But a: you say, we could not endorse Mr. Bry. an for the presidency on account of hi: followers, such as Vardaman, Hoke )Smith, John Temple Graves, John S | Williams, Ben Tillman and a variety o} ) cther-demagogues. % | The Negro politicians who are blesse¢ with that opportunity of exercising theit franchisemeut *should not - lose thei heads and cay things derogatory of th Republican party. Some of us as ; race are guilty of saying too many things at the wrong time. Be not over. anxious fin expressing your: political con: victions to your enemies. You can curs the Republican party as much as you please, but it is the only medium through which all of the Negroes of this coun: try were given their franchisement, and there is no State, neither South nos North, where the Republican party ha: ever agitated disfranchisement. The leaders of the Democratic party remind ns very much of one of Aesop's Fables,"The Cat and the Mouse.” They understood how to appeal to tne sympa- thy and passion of the Negro. At times they try to make you believe that the Republican party simply uses -the Negro for a purpose. Whenever the Negro 1s led hy this benign spirit he always more or less makes 2 serious mistake. No party, so far as history is con- cerned, ever existed without friction within its ranks; hut whenever they lose their heads, and begin to stray from the ‘trie principles for which the body stood, the whole falls to pieces. What use iy it for the Negroc, of the Repub- lican party to “get mad with President Roosevelt for his acticn in discharging the Negro battalion atBrownsville? That is one and the only incident that we can see so far that has catised so much friction among the Negroes of the Re- publican party. Is that a reasonable ex- cuse to set up as a stigma to the party with which they are identified? If you are going to retaliate for what you call 1 high-handed outrage to the Negrozs hy the President of the United States ind heeause of which you are to give your strength to the other side, what ire yout going to do with the thousands 4f wrongs that have been heaped upon he heads of the Negroes before the Emancipation, and long after freedom nd even down to the present day, espe- ‘ially by the Southern States, which lave robbed us of our franchisement? Stand by the party, men. that party vhich brought you’out of utter darkness nd into light, sv to speak. DIPLOMAT IN TROUBLE. a a Cee Se From the industrial Era, . A-telegram from Washington says i is learned from an authentic source that charges have been filed against Dr. Emest Lyon, United States Minister to Liberia, and that they were being investigated by an agent of the State Department. Following hi, usual cus- tom, however, - Assistant Secretary of State Bacon absolutely denied the sto- Ty. ‘As the -information goes. Minister Lyon has been trifling .with the affee- tions of the wife of another diplomat at Liberia, against the statutes as made and provided, and against the wishes of said diplomat and again-t diplomatic social rules. Diplomatic circles in Li- Veria are all torn up over the scandal. In case Dr. Lyon iy relieved, from his post, George Ellis, of Lawrence, Kan, at present Secretary of the Legation in Liberia, will likely be appointed min- ister. Dr. Lyon hails from Maryland. Ali parties to the affair are Negroes. * REPUBLICAN * MEET Continued From First Page Deconte almost a practice), and | Whereas, there is a growing discrim- ination in the several departments of the focal and national governments ‘against all classes of Republicans, and a ‘seeming indifference of the administra- ‘tion toward our own Repubican forces and representatives who have worked assiduously to promote and perpetuate the principles of the Republican party; Resolved, therefore, That we condemn ‘these practices as un-Republican, unfair ‘end wrong. Resolved, further, That a committee ‘af five be appointed by this meeting, to ‘confer with the Roosevelt and Fair- tanks Rpublican Association and the National Republican Club of the Dis- trict of Columbia, for the purpose of Iccommcrding to the National Commit- tze q suitable form for the election of delegates from th District of Columbia to th next National Republican Conven- tion, s Pesolved, That when the United Re- publican Clubs adjoitm tonight it will be to meet in February, 1908, at the call of the Executive Committee, in this hall- for the purpose of presenting to the Republicans of the District of Columbia two suitable representative Republicans to be voted for as delegates to the next National Republican Convention.

Principal and Mrs. Washington's residence, of Miss Portia Marshall Washington and Mr. William Sidney Pittman, of Washington, District of Columbia. The whole affair was simple and impressive in its dignity. The Electrical Division of the school transformed the entire grounds of "The Oaks" into a blaze of light by utilizing colored lights in the trees, among the rose bushes, hedges, and in the various nooks and corners. Similarly, on the inside of the house, decorations of grasses, ferns, wild Southern smilax, white roses, with multi-colored lights, made the interior most beautiful, room had been erected, and it was under this that the ceremony was performed by Chaplain L. W. Whittaker. Just before the wedding procession formed, Mrs. Washington and her son, Davidson, took their places, to the right of the canopy. Miss Gertrude Washington played the solemn Mendelssohn Wedding March, and the ushers, Messrs. Nathan Hunt, John Washington, Jr., George Austin and G. W. A. Johnston led the procession. Then followed the groom elect and his best man, Mr. W. R. Griffin, of Washington, D. C., and, in order, the bridesmaid, Miss Gertrude Watkins, of Montgomery, Ala, and last the bride-elect, Miss Washington, leaning on the arm of her father, Dr. Booker T. Washington. After the ceremony congratulations of the assembled guests were earnestly and sincerely bestowed. The refreshments were particularly dainty—chicken salad, rolls, cheese, olives being served, followed by ice cream in the form of red apples, lilies, white and green colored, pears, busts of famous characters, roses and many others of similar kind. The cutting of the bride's cake, a particularly formidable-looking affair, was accompanied with a great deal of merriment as slices were distributed to all of the guests. Many presents were received by the bride and groom, coming from all parts of the country, from distinguished men and women who are friends of Principal Washington, as well as from many of their own friends. Those presented by members of our own community were also beautiful and in many instances very valuable. Miss Washington is a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, receiving the school's diploma and also a certificate from the Dressmaking Division. She also took a short course in the Millinery Division. Afterward she studied and graduated from Bradford Academy, Massachusetts, one of the oldest schools in the country for young women, being one of the two young ladies of the graduating class to appear on the program. The next year she went to Europe for two years of study under Professor Kraus, of Berlin. Miss Gertrude Watkins, the bridesmaid, is a relative of Mr. Pittman, and has been Miss Washington's lifelong friend. Mr. Pittman, as is well known, is a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, and of Dr'exel Institute, Philadelphia. He was Tuskegee's instructor in architecture. There came to Tuskegee this week Mrs. John S. Trower and Miss Trower, of Philadelphia; Mrs. John E. Bush and her daughter; Mr. W. R. Griffin, of Washington, who was the groom's best man; Miss Gertrude Watkins, of Montgomery, the bridesmaid, all of whom were entertained at "The Oaks." Dr. A, M. Curtis, of Washington, D. C., who was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Scott, and Mr. and Mrs. G. W. A. Johnson, of Birmingham, who were the guests of Mr. and Brs. J. H. Washington; Mr. W. F. Watkins and Miss Alice Watkins, of Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. John Samples, Cincinnati. Ohio, and Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., were also among the guests. CAUGHT BY VEXUS. ATTORNEY ARMOND W. SCOTT MARRIED. Attorney Armond W. Scott, one of the most prominent and successful members of the bar, was married in Philadelphia, Pa., las week. to Miss Estella A. Harris, of this city. Miss Harris is one of the most accomplished young ladies in this city. She is not only a musical artist, but possesses superior qualitit in domestic art. The announcement of the marriage of these two young people was a surprise to the members of the bar and their numerous friends. When Attorney Scott left his office last week no one knew of his destination but his most intimate friend, Attorney M. T. Clinksclaes, who kept everyone in darkness, carrying out implicitly the instructions given him by Attorney Scott before he had carried out this matrional design. While in Philadelphia he was accosted by his old friend, Dr. James E. Sheppard, of North Carolina, who accused him, while standing in the depot, of being on a peculiar mission. Attorney Scott in the meantime introduced Miss Harris to Dr. Sheppard, who thought that she was a Philadelphia, and has not been made the wiser, and will not be until he reads The Bee this week. The bride and groom returned to this city Sunday, the groom presumed everybody was in ignorance of his marriage till he met a Bee representative, who immediately congratulated the young Lenedict, which was a surprise to him. Miss Harris is a native of Washington, having been educated in the public schools of this city. She is an accomplished pianist as well as proficient in domestic art. Attorney Scott is from Wilmington, N. C. He came to this city about four years ago, and by industry and perseverance he has built himself up a good practice. There is not a member of the bar more persevering than Attorney Scott. He is manly in his deportment and is steadily advancing in his profession. He and his bride are stopping at 1442 Pierce Place northwest, where they are comfortably located. His mother and friends extended their congratulations by sending many handsome presents. Lawyer Armond W. Scott and Miss Estella A. Harris, of 1442 Pierce Place northwest, were married on the first day of this month in the city of Philadelphia, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fields Johnson, at 326 West Thirty-first street, by the Rev. J. B. Randolph. They afterward went to New York city for a few days, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rosier Johnson. RALLLY AT THE BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH Twice each year, that is upon the first Sunday of May and November, respectively, stated "rallies" are held under the auspices of the officials of the Berean Baptist Church. The proceeds from such rallies are devoted to eliminating as far as possible the bonded debt of the church. The rally last Sunday was very successful financially, over three hundred dollars having been raised, embracing the contributions of only a few "clubs" of the church, the larger number having yet to report. The pastor, Dr. Rivers, preached at the morning service. Dr. Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, in the afternoon, and Dr. Thomas J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Ch., at the evening service. The full choir of St. Luke's Parish furnished the music, under the direction of Mr. W. H. Carter-precentor. Unfortunate indeed were all missed an excellent sermon, and magnificently rendered music. MUSIC AT ST. LUKE'S PROTEST- ESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The lover of music, and even critics of this art, genuine or otherwise, should pay a visit to St. Luke's Church at any Sunday morning service, and hear the reorganized and augmented choir, under the direction of Mr. William II. Carter, is composed of some of the most eminent colored local vocalists in this city, embracing the Misses Nettie Murray and Guy, soprano; Mrs. Smoot, contralto, and other competent voices, forming an incomparable church musical organization.

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, 1909, it is proposed that the Grand Lodge give $25.00 to each male member when his wife dies, also the case to each female member when his wife dies. The Grand Lodge gives a member a 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. S. Shrinadee Lodge maintains a sick and accident fund, out of which they give each member from $3.00 to $3.00 per week when sick or disabled. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge does not loot about what I. does in voluntarily assisting a member in an accident. I. members unite in saying that they are protected 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 JOIRNAL a 16 page monthly publication of great interest to our people. An I. L. U. Membership Book will be recognized and accepted by the U. L. Subordinate Lodge in the world. Each U. L. Subordinate Lodge has a privateile of buying I. L. U. Grand Lodge Stock from $1.00 up to $100.00, 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.

Parlor suitable for a doctor back bedroom, 1410 First street, THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN ANSWERS HIS CRITICS It is very seldom that I pay any attention to newspaper comments upon my actions on public questions or to newspaper imaginative comments upon my speeches on such questions. As a public servant my actions upon vital questions of interest to the race and to the public have always been guided and dictated to by my conscience and by my sense of public duty. When such actions meet the approbation of the public and my friends, I am glad; where they do not I am sorry; but I am not at any time moved by these considerations and have long ago become immune to newspaper criticism when fighting for what I faithfully thought was the best interest of my race. But when such a flagrant error in stated by a newspaper, purporting to represent the race, as the statement, in the editorial columns of the New York Age of October 17 in commenting upon my support of fusion in the Republican County Convention, and it deliberately and unqualifiedly issues a false statement for the purpose of deceiving the public and its readers, I am constrained to depart from my usual rule and make a few comments upon the same in order that none of my friends throughout the country may have any doubt as to where I stand. The Age, in its editorial, said: "Mr. Stewart in the New York County Republican Convention, with much eloquence and emotion, urged the other colored delegates in the convention to stand by Congressman Parsons and to give him their unqualified support." I said nothing of the kind. I supported fusion in my aldermanic and assembly district, and made a speech in behalf of fusion in nominating our candidate for alderman before the County Convention because I thought that it was the best policy for the party in the county, and not because Mr. Parsons supported it. Nor did I ask a single colored delegate in the convention to support Mr. Parsons. I did not mention the color question in my speech. I supported it not because Congressman Parsons supported it, but in spite of the fact that he supported it. I want to say to the editor of The Age, "Kill no fatted calf, and utter no joyous note of Hallelujah" for my position is unequivocally just where it has always been. I am opposed to any and every force in this State that is against the restoration of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to the army with all of their rights and privileges of previous enlistment. It was in the County Committee of this State that I introduced and had passed a resolution calling upon the President to rescind his order; I enlisted at that time over a year ago—in a fight for this glorious black battalion. When I saw the strong men of Companies, B, C, and D turn in their guns at Fort Reno, shedding tears, and their frames sobbing with sorrow over their unjust and cruel treatment, I consecrated my poor abilities and service to do everything in political fields of activity and otherwise to see that justice was meted out to them. As I looked at their discharges at Fort Reno, which showed that they had fought on the snow-covered prairies of the Dakotas, in the tropical swamps of Cuba, upon the plains and mountains in the Philippines; yea, wherever the flag floats, they have responded loyally to the call of the American Republic to arms, whenever its flag was in jeopardy, winning battles without cannon, crossing rivers without bridges, making forced marches without shoes, bivouacing without spirituous liquors or hard-tack, representing the acme of patriotic black citizenship in the Republic, I realized more fully the great wrong perpetraile dagainst them. No colored man who would back up one iota in the fight for this black battalion should be branded with the scarlet letters of the traitor. Let timid doctrinaires and theorists depart from among us, to carry their servility and their miserable fears elsewhere. And let every patriot Negro stand firm upon this question. You needed no formal announcement to the public, Mr. Editor of The Age, that Editor Fortune had severed his connection with the New York Age. Anyone who read the editorial on the affray at Brownsville would know that it would be impossible for a race-loving man as Fortune to pen such a traitorous article. Undoubtedly he would have seen his right hand cut off before doing it. One might shut his eyes, and he would think that it was. an editorial from some of the Bourbon cracker yellow journals of the South. No, Mr. Editor of The Age, if Mr. Parsons is not in favor of the restoration of the black battalion to the army, I am against Congressman Parsons today just as much as I ever was. I am against a man in this county or country in the Republican party or in any other party who is not in favor of meeting out justice to these soldiers of my race and to my race. I would just as soon go into Congressman Parsons's district tomorrow, take the stump against his election to Congress or any other Congressman in this city who in the coming session of Congress does not show that he is with us upon this question. I hope this is as emphatic as I can make my position known, and that you and any of my friends throughout the country may have no doubt as to where I stand upon this matter. No doubt would ever have arisen had it not been for your misleading editorial. I shall be in Washington this winter aggressively fighting this battle before Congress; when the primaries occur in March for the election of delegates to the National Convention I shall be fighting before the electorate for a nominee to the next National Convention who will state his position unequivocally that he is in favor of giving justice to these soldiers. Upon this platform I have stood and shall always stand. Don't go into any unnecessary spasm of joy, Mr. Editor of the Age, over any flights of your own imagination regarding my changing. When I change upon this question or cease to aggressively fight for every right due my race, then you can pull off your shoes and dance a two-step on the third rail of the subway without personal injury. Yours for the race, and for every man who is with the race, To Clean Delicate Fabrics Solled places or spots can be removed from laces, silks and delicate fabrics by making a paste of talcum powder and aqua ammonia. Put in the powder in a cup, three or four teaspoonfuls and mix to a thin paste with the ammonia. Lay the goods on a cloth; cover the solled place with the paste; rub with a soft cloth and let stand till dry. Then brush or shake off the powder. Darning Curtains. Take common mosquito netting and sew on the hole. Draw the thread in the usual way through the meshes, skipping every other mesh so that when you darn crosswise you will have meshes to darn through. No matter how large the hole is, you can darn it evenly and in good shape and save time. To Serve a Plain Custard. Plain cup custards are made more attractive if a preserved strawberry, a candied cherry or a spoonful of bright jelly or marmalade is placed upon the top of each cup before serving.

Bake in a moderate oven about half an hour. A few raisins and currants or chopped nuts may be added to the bread dough when the egg is put in, if desired. When this bread is baked and eaten warm the sheet readily breaks apart, which is better than having to cut it. TO CLEAN SEWING MACHINES. Care Bestowed on Instrument Will Be Amply Repaid. Sewing is not half as hard as some people find it if the sewing machine is kept in good running order. When the sewing machine works hard and heavily take the needle and shuttle out and give every joint and bearing a generous bath of gasoline. Of course there should not be a lighted lamp or fire of any kind in the room. Turn the wheels briskly for a few moments to enable the gasoline to penetrate every part and to loosen and wash away the old oil and grime. Then clean it all away. When all the grime and oil has been removed, oil with proper lubricating oil, running the machine for two or three minutes before inserting the needle. Now, with a piece of chamois skin, wipe away all superfluous oil. It is a pleasure to sew on a machine treated in this manner. Columbia Ice and Coal Co. FIFTH AND L STS., N. W., NEAR K ST. MARKET.

Bet. H and I Sts. CALLS DR. MCKINLEY A NEGRO DIVORCED WIFE OF PHYSICIAN SAYS HE DISOWNS RACE. SAYS HE DISOWNS RACE. SUES TO REGAIN HER CHILD. Alleged Former Husband Makes Little Girl Dislike Negroes. From the Chicago Tribune. Dr. J. Frank McKinley, 157 Oakwood Boulevard, will be the defendant today in a suit brought by his former wife, Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare, charging that he is a Negro, though posing as a white man, and that he is attempting to bring up their seven-year-old daughter, Vera, to believe she is of Spanish blood. Mrs. Hare, who is the daughter of N. Wright Cuney, said to be one of the brilliant men of the colored race, asks for the custody of the child, now under her former husband's care for nine months of the year. She asserts in the petition that he has made every effort to conceal his real identity and hers, as well as that of the child. She declares Dr. McKinley is the son of a white father and colored mother. In order to broaden his practice, it is charged in the petition, he threw off his race when he came to Chicago, shortly after they were married, in 1898. He had attained a reputation as a physician among the colored people of the South, but, the bill declares, received little financial reward. Mrs. Hare charges that he insisted she should not recognize any of her colored friends in the street or permit any of them to call on her at their residence. When the child was born, she asserts, he filled out the birth certificate to the effect that it was of "American-Spanish" blood, leaving blank the space to indicate it might be of Negro parentage. Mrs. McKinley left her husband four years after their marriage, declaring she would not give up her race for him. In 1904, when she was in the South, he obtained a divorce, with the custody of the child, as she was not present to make a defense. When she heard of the divorce she came to Chicago. Action was begun then by her to secure possession of the child, but a compromise was effected by which she was to have possession of the child for three month in the year. This plan of custody was carried out until October 1, when Mrs. Hare, who had married again DR.

MILES ANT Pain Pills TAKE ONE of the Little Tablets AND THE PAIN IS GONE If you have Headache Try One They Relieve Pain Quickly, leaving no bad After-effects 25 Doses 25 Cents Never Sold in Bulk in August, 1904, refused to turn her daughter over to her former husband. Dr. McKinley married again last spring, the bride being Miss Caroline I. Ennis. In a letter to his former wife, it is alleged, he said his second wife was forty-five years old, had an income of $250 a month, and was worth $25. Three Specific Charges Are Made. These three specific charges are made 000, against Dr. McKinley in the petition He held his wife before the public as of Spanish blood and refused to permit her to have any association with her companions or friends of her race. He is bringing up the child as a white, making it believe it is white, and instilling a hatred in the child against its race. He has married a woman of the white race in whose care the child is, placed by him. N. Wright Cuney, father of Mrs. Hare, was collector of customs at Galveston, under President Harrison. He was a leading colored politician of the South, and was a member of the Republican National Committee. Mrs. Hare is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music and for a year was head of the department of music in the Texas State Normal School. Judge Barnes will hear the case this morning. The counsel for the defense will be E. E. Wilson and Lang Williams, both colored lawyers. Walter E. McCornack and Edward J. Stevens will represent Mrs. Hare. Read The Bee.
