VOL.27 NO. 25 The United Republicans The United Republicans MISS MEETING OF REPUBLICANS — ATTORNEY JONES SPEECH. Those who failed to be present last Thursday night at Grand Army Hall misled a treat. There were music and speeches. There was enthusiasm as well as bright prospects for the Republicans in the future. The occasion was made glorious by the Y. M. C. A. Orchestra of Howard University. Seated upon the stage was Ex-Public Primer Oscar J. Ricketts, Mr. J. W. Waters, Mr. James O. Holmes, Miss Ray Bell, Dr. C. C. Stewart and other Letters of regret were read from General George H. Harris, who was compelled to leave the city. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler and Mr. Theodore W. Noves. Precisely at eight o'clock Chairman Thomas L. Jones called members of the local bar, and in a most eloquent speech called the meeting to order. His speech was full of eloquence throughout its delivery and he was enthusiastically applauded. At the conclusion of his remarks he introduced Attorney J. B McLaughlin, of the local bar, who delivered one of his characteristic speeches. He reviewed the action of the Democratic party in disfranchising colored Republicans, and paid a handsome tribute to those who were standing up for civil and political rights of all classes of Americans, irrespective of their color or condition. Attorney Armond W. Scott was the next speaker introduced. He did not advocate the Negro or any other nationality going into the Democratic parity, but he saw in New York how Negro Democrats are treated in comparison to colored Republicans. He saw a bright future for the Republicans and he hoped that the time would come when all votes would be counted as they were cast. Miss Ray Bell. a young lady, who is an admirer of Senator Foraker,was the next speaker. She advocated Republicans uniting and she was glad to know that they were united at last in the District of Columbia. It is time, said she, that we were getting together for our good. Mr W. Calvin Chase was the next speaker. The treatment of colored Republicans, said he, was enough for their enthusiasm to be cooled. There is a growing tendency to discriminate against this in every department of the government. Our friends are being removed and our enemies are being placed in power. I see seated upon this platform a stalwart of stalwarts; a man who has been known to be a friend to all classes of Republicans and never was found wanting when it was in his power to appoint Republicans, white or colored—Hon. Oscar J. Ricketts, our ex-Public Printer. Long and enthusiastic applause. Notwithstanding his separation from the public service, he continues his allegiance to the Republican party and its principles. I am glad to know that he has honored the United Republican Clubs of the twenty-two districts by being present tonight. The time has now come for every Republican to come together and support the nominees of the party and bury all past differences. The Democratic party has offered no inducements to colored Republicans, but its every act is to disfranchise them. We must, therefore, get together. Someone in the audience asked, How about the liquor question? Oh, I have been asked about the liquor question. When I hear a man say that he doesn't smoke, chew or drink, you may just put it down that he is a dangerous element in any community. These temperance advocates could find more virtue advocating human rights than will be found in a temperance crusade. These advocates will sit and enjoy seeing human life being butchered; citizens disfranchised, and destroy the finances of a city by forcing it driv. There is too much hypocrisy in this temperance crusade. What we have come here tonight for is to advocate a fair form of election of delegates to the next National Convention and see to it that representative Republicans are elected and one placed on the National Committee to represent the District of Columbia. We also advocate home rule, which has been so much disregarded in this city. We contribute our money and time to every campaign, and receive nothing in return. This is because the Republicans have made the mistake in placing the wrong men at the head of our party machine. When the executive committee has been named by the chairman, let it go to work and see to it that proper returns are made for services rendered. At the conclusion of Mr. Chase's address Mr. Jesse Foster, of the Fifth District, made a very timely address. He was willing and ready to go to work and turn up something. The following was adopted as the sentiment of the United Republican Clubs of the twenty-two districts: 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 twentieth 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 having implicit faith that wisdom at the polls will be again emphatically recorded Tuesday, November 8th, 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 Unuited 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. We appeal to Congress for the immediate enactment for proper legislation as will effectually remedy any existing evils in our public school system. 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 become almost a practice), and Whereas, there is a growing discrimination in the several departments of the local and national governments against all classes of Republicans, and a seeming indifference on the part of those standing in high places and having charge of governmental affairs and a disregard for those who have worked assiduously to promote the principles of the Republican party. Resolved, therefore, That we condemn these practices as un-Republican, unfair and wrong. Resolved, further, That a committee of five be appointed by this meeting, to confer with the Roosevelt and Fairbanks Republican Association and the National Republican Club of the District of Columbia, for the purpose of recommending to the National Committee a suitable form for the election of delegates from the District of Columbia to the next National Republican Convention. Resolved, That when the United Republican Clubs adjourn tonight it will be to meet at the call of the Executive Committee, at such time and place as may be deemed expedient 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. Mrs. C. Wood Platt has filed papers in connection with her divorce suit against Senator Thomas C. Platt. A DEEP-LAID SCHEME. In this city we have a corps of teachers who are in every way qualified to do the work assigned them. They have spared neither time nor money in preparing themselves for their work; many of them have always been rated as excellent. Last year after the rating was sent in it was sent back to the supervisors to be lowered, and many of the "E" teachers and "G" teachers had their rating lowered, not because their work was inferior, but because someone who had never seen them requested it. This year they are told to qualify in German and Latin. Many of them are ready to do so, but the above-named floods prevented them from having one moment that they can call their own. At the end of the year, if this is not done, who will he to blame? It looks as if they are purposefully monopolizing their time as one of the links to the chain of a deeplaid scheme of demotion, and at the end of the year to put in their places some of the ones whose names appear on the eligible list after having gone in the sham monthly The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Captain Oyster made many a teacher's heart glad when he reversed the order of the Superintendent and placed the books which had been discarded by the latter into the hands of the pupils, who had gone since September to the present time without these books. He( the Superintendent) would have them sit in school until June without them if this had not been done. READ THE BEE What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard My genial friend Register Vernon has just been re-elected president of the Western University. It is quite evident that the people have confidence in him. I undrestand that he is soon to be made bishop. There were fully three thousand people present at the football game last Saturday between the Howard and the Tuskegee teams. The Howard boys outplayed the Southern chaps to a finish. The game was very interesting. Everybody enjoyed the game. Quite a number from Tuskegee attended. Architect Pittman has gained a reputation of which any artist might be proud. One of the greatest race men in this country and a man who believes in, as well as supports, race enterprises is Mr. M. C. Maxfield, off the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. If we had two thousand such men the race would not suffer. 1910 The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person holding a card. The background is indistinct and lacks any discernible features. Prof. Kelly Miller, acting dean of the college department of Howard University, is making quite a success. Don't be alarmed when you hear a gun go off. Some guns sound frightfully loud at times. You need not be surprised to hear of the resignation of Dr. Chancellor at any time. It would be better for him to resign than to be removed. One or the other is sure to come. If there ever was an unpopular man it is the present Superintendent of Public Instruction. It is firmly believed that the Board of Education is tired of him. I shall be glad to see all boards placed in the hands of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce may as well prepare to return to Tuskegee or come other place. Like Othello, his occupation is gone. Upstarts who follow blindly the teachings of other people seldom come to a good ending. Both Bruce and Chancellor ought to resign at once. President Roosevelt is not ready to announce his acceptance as yet. He will no doubt disappoint the politicians. Mr. B. H. Warner is a candidate for Congress from the Sixth Maryland District. I wonder of Mr. Warner remembers when he had houses advertised for colored people in the alleys? The time will come when the colored people will have their innings. The Deputy Recorder of Deeds makes the rules for the office and hands them to the Recorder for approval, which he does. I want to see a few colored females in the front office. Register Vernon makes his own rules, and so does Auditor Ralph Tyler. Ex-Recorder Cheatham knew sometime about his office and made his own rules also. Bob Terrell should hand in his resignation before the Attorney General asks for it. I would advise Dr. Washington to unload himself, as the burdens he is carrying are too heavy. I would like to see you have strong men around you. Doctor. There are to be a few changes in the High School. Perhaps the coming investigation will cause a few to be made. Rounder. CHANCELLOR'S ORDER REVOKED — CAPTAIN JAMES F. OYSTER ADHERES TO THE COMPLAINT OF TEACHERS. The Bee has from the very beginning stated that the President of the Board of Education was a friend to the schools and the teachers. The sweeping order of the Superintendent of Public Instruction putting out of use, from the beginning of the school year, fifty thousand books, thus leaving the schools without a text-book, was a gignatic piece of impudence and despotic rule. This order was conveyed to Captain Oyster by the teachers, who immediately directed that the teachers use the books that have been in use. From the minutes of the School Board no such order has ever been made by that body. CAPT JAMES F OYSTER, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Dr. Chancellor, of his own volition, issued this drastic order. There are hundreds of other things going on in the schools without knowledge of the Board of Education which should be investigated before they are adopted. It would be well for all recommendations of the Superintendent to be investigated before they are adopted: This order of the Superintendent putting out of use fifty thousand text-books without the consent of the Board of Education is sufficient in itself to remove the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It is quite evident that Bruce is the creature of Chancellor, without manhood. Both should be removed. Their usefulness is at an end. The children as well as the parents owe a debt of gratitude to Captain Oyster, and it is believed that he will look out for the best interest of the schools. HOWARD'S FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY. The fortieth anniversary of Howard University and installation of President Thirkield took place Friday afternoon and evening. The installation of Dr. Thirkield took place in the memorial chapel, University Campus, and fortieth anniversary celebration in First Congregational Church Friday evening. A full and concise report will appear In The Bee next week. ATTORNEY J. A. COBB APPOINTED. Attorney James A. Cobb, a prominent member of the local bar, who was a candidate for justice of the peace, has been appointed an assistant attorney in the office of the United States Attorney. This appointment was made by AttorneyGeneral Bonaparte, who does not seem to have any color prejudice whatever against colored Americans. Attorney Cobb is a popular member of the bar, who is liked for his gentlemanly deportment and ability as a lawyer. He has been a member of the local bar for several years, and has been engaged in several important civil cases; which have won for him the admiration and respect of the Bar Association. M. H. Attorney Cobb will have the prosecution of forfeited bonds in the Police Court and other civil cases in which the United States District Attorney's office is involved. While it is true that many others were disappointed in not being appointed justice of the peace, Attorney Cobb included, his many friends are highly pleased at his success in securing his present appointment. Several years ago Prof. H. H. Heart held a similar position in the District Attorney's office, under Mr. A. A. Birney, who was at that time United States District Attorney. The Bee extends its congratulations to its young friend, and wishes him much success. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS — OVER-WORKED TEACHERS. Before the teachers' meeting Monday afternoon Dr. W. E. Chancellor informed the teachers that they need not attend so many meetings if they did not desire to do so. The Bee is of the opinion that so many meetings are unnecessary at any rate. If the Superintendent has relieved the teachers of these meetings he should not call them, as a matter of fact. They will undoubtedly attend if he continues to call them. Latin and German in the Seventh and eighth grades should be abolished. The latest charge against the teachers was made to the school authorities. The charge is without the slightest foundation, and the scoundrel who made it will not dare to put it in writing and sign his name to it. The colored schools contain some of the purest and most refined lady teachers in this country. The female teachers have enough to answer for without an attempt to destroy their morals by false and malicious charges. Invitations to the exercises of the fortieth anniversary of Howard University were sent to all alumni whose addresses are on file at the president's office. For several years special effort has been made to secure the names and addresses of all graduates of the university, but so far with only partial success. If any alumni were overlooked it was for this reason. Tickets of admission were mailed to alumni in the order of acceptance of invitation, on account of limited seating capacity. The university regrets that all the alumni could not be accommodated. LATIN AND GERMAN SUSPENDED — CHANCELLOR EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY. The Bee was the first journal to call the attention of the Board of Education to the introduction of Latin and German in the seventh and eighth grades of the public schools as unnecessary studies. The Board knew nothing of Dr. Chancellor's order till The Bee's expose of this gigantic order. Victory for The Bee.. Chancellor should be removed. SOME APPETIZING WAYS OF PREPARING IT. Dellicious and Healthful Luncheon Desserts—for Pears, Quinces, Apples, Prunes, Rhubarb or the Cranberry. Fruit when stewed is considered by many to be the most wholesome method of serving it. It is a favorite with children and makes an excellent dessert for luncheon. All specks and imperfections should be carefully removed with the point of a sharp knife. Boiled rice is often served with many varieties of it. Stewed Winter Pears.—Pare and boil them until soft. To one pound of fruit put one-quarter of a pound of granulated sugar, one pint of water; stew until tender, then let them stand at one side of the range until clear. The sirup should be thick. Keep covered while cooking. A few cloves are generally added and are a decided improvement. Stewed Quinces.—Pare, core and cut the quinces into quarters, put them into a preserving kettle and to each pound of fruit add three-quarters of a pound of sugar, with water sufficient to dissolve it. Set the kottle over a slow fire and let them simmer until perfectly soft. These are only fit for immediate use. They can be eaten with bread and butter, or cream. Stewed Apples.—Select tart apples, pare, quarter and put them into a stewpan with half a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit and water sufficient to molest the sugar. A few slips of fresh lemon peel may be added. Boll until quite tender, but not broken. three hours to swell, then place on the fire in the water in which they were steeped. Let them simmer slowly and when cooked sweeten to taste. Stewed Rhubarb.—Take the tender stalks of rhubarb, remove the skin and cut the pieces one inch in length, stew it in a little water with half a pound of sugar to one pound of rhubarb. Season with the thinly cut rind of a lemon. Stewed Cranberries. — Pick over carefully and take out all that are defective; wash thoroughly, and place over the fire, more than covered with water; cover the saucepan and stew until the skins are tender, adding more water if necessary. Add one pound of sugar for each pound of cranberries, simmer for ten or twelve minutes, strain and put them away in a bowl or wide-mouthed crock; keep them covered. Bath Buna Scald one pint milk, add while hot one-half cup butter; when lukwarm, add one yeast cake dissolved in quarter cup warm water; add one and a half quartes, sifted flour, half teaspoon salt, beat well, cover and stand in warm place over night. The next morning beat six yolks of eggs with half cup of sugar until light; add one teaspoonful cinnamon, half cup chopped citron, eggs, and sugar to the sponge; work until thoroughly mixed, turn out on floured board, adding sufficient flour to make a soft dough; roll out, cut into good sized buns, place on greased pans, far enough apart not to touch in baking, cover, and set in a warm place until very light. Brush tops with glaze of white of egg, two teaspoonfuls each of milk and sugar beaten well together. Bake about 35 minutes. Appleberry Jelly. To one peck of Siberian crabapples add four quarts of cranberries, cook together in sufficient water to cover until soft and strain as for other jelly. To five cups of the strained juice add four cups of granulated sugar, dried in oven. Heat the juice before adding sugar. Cook 20 or 30 minutes after it begins to boil. Let cool in glasses and cover with paraffin. Makes a beautiful tinted jelly, good served with poultry or other meats. All jellies and jams are better made on a sunny day. In the above jelly, if crabapples cannot be had in cranberry season, the juice of the crabapple can be canned earlier in season and added to the cranberries later. To Clean Old Silver From a box of old jewelry laid away and forgotten was taken the other day a sterling silver pin of oriental filigree work as black as the proverbial hat. The usual silver polish did not take effect quickly enough to satisfy its owner and she dropped it into a small pan of hot water with a pinch of blcarbonate of soda and boiled it for a quarter of an hour or thereabout. Then she scrubbed it with soap and a brush and it turned out a lovely dull silver tone. If it had been boiled longer or there had been more soda in the water it might have been brighter. Barberry Preserve Take twice as many sweet pears or apples as barberries and three-fourths as much sweetening, half sugar, half molasses. Put sugar and molasses on to boil. When boiling put barberries in, cook 15 minutes, then skim out barberries and put in pears or apples. Cook till soft; then put back barberries and let boil up. Novel Jardiniers Save all the seeds out of the grape fruit and plant them in your table jardinfere or in a pot full of earth. Keep them well watered and in three weeks you will have a cunning little plot of green for the center of your table. One Great Mistake That Is Made by Some Housewives. It matters not how neatly one may have the table arranged, if the table linen is not spotlessly white the appearance is marred by the defect. Care must be taken of fine table linen or it soon gets the yellow "dip" so much dreaded by careful housewives. The first mistake is made by throwing the tablecloth in the laundry bag with napkins which are damp, and they always are when the finger bowls are used. Each piece should be dried and stains removed before placing it away for washing. To properly wash them they cannot be made pure and white if placed in with other clothes. This is a warning to heed. Soak the linen in tepid water for three-quarters of an hour, and always wring the pieces by hand, for wringer creases do not come out at times even under a heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes in a good suds, wash carefully and put in a boiler of cold water which has nothing but borax to soften it. Bring the water to a boll, give the pieces a second suds, then carefully rinse. Two persons should stretch the long tablecloths and place on a line, hanging them perfectly even. In ironing they must be rather damp. Fold side to side with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry until a gloss appears. They must not be starched, since good linen is stiff enough when properly ironed. Hang the pieces over a rod where they hang perfectly straight and allow to dry before they are put away. Now would you know why it is that some women have their table linen always looking new? It is done in folding the ironed pieces. Boards such as are used to fold dress goods on are what you will need. Cover the pieces with any old muslin and carefully roll the table cloth on this. If the sides are too long carefully fold the edges toward the center. Put in the linen closet and when ready for use you have a new-looking piece for the table. Do not comb fringe on pieces, but use a moderately stiff bristle brush for the purpose. In ironing monograms lay the right side down on a Turkish towel and the letters will be beautifully ironed in this manner, which is an improvement over the soft blanket method. Popular Charlotte Russe One quart of sweet cream beaten stiff, one-half cup of pulverized sugar attirred into the beaten cream; vanilla flavoring to taste. Dissolve one-half a package of gelatin in as little cold water as possible, set on the stove and let come to a boll. Then let stand until partly cold and stir quickly into the beaten cream. Dip a mold into cold water and line with lady fingers, cookies, or sponge cake. Turn the beaten cream into mold and set away in ice to cool; should stand four or five hours before using. If in warm weather and without ice, let it stand over night. When ready to serve, dip the mold in hot water for an instant, then the cream will turn out on a plate like jelly. This makes a good dessert, too, at a dinner or luncheon. The full recipe will make enough for eight people. How to Can Plums. To every dozen plums take one cup of sugar, one-half cup of water, two whole cloves and a small piece of whole cinnamon (spice can be omitted). Boll the sugar, water and spice, wash your plums, fill jars full of plums and put jars in a pan of hot water. After the syrup has boiled skim and let cool a little so as not to break jars; then fill the jars full of the hot syrup, put the pan with jars in a warm oven but without rubbers and covers, close the oven door and let them bake 15 minutes. Then take pan out, put on rubbers and covers, fasten down tight and put back in oven again and bake 10 minutes longer and your plums are done and as whole as when put in jars. Will keep fine and never fall. Chop Suey. Cut a half chicken into bits, stripping all the meat from the bones, and fry until brown but not hard or crisp. Now put into the frying pan with the chicken a large onion, sliced, and cook for three minutes before adding a handful of dried mushrooms which have been soaked in water for ten minutes. Pour in enough Chinese sauce to make the ingredients brown, then add water and stew for 15 minutes. Stir in a stalk of celery, diced, and six Chinese potatoes. Thicken with a little floured water and, cook till gravy is thick and smooth. 'Serve with rice, boiled till nearly done, then drained and steamed. Cranberry Ple. Line your pie tins with paste with crimped edges. Stew three cups of cranberries with one and a half cups sugar. Run through sleeve or fine colander and fill the lower crust moderately full with the fruit mixture. Wet edges of pie crust and cover the top with narrow strips of pastry, forming diamond-shaped openings. Each strip is pinched to the rim of the pie to hold it firmly. Wash the top with an egg beaten in a little ice-cold water. Bake in a quick oven. The egg gives the top of the pie a brilliant glare. Becoming Fond of Tea. We Americans are growing almost as fond of our cup of tea at odd hours as the English. Even our men, of late years, do not disdain their afternoon tea drinking, which is certainly better for them than an unlimited number of cocktails, though they have scarcely reached the stage of going home from business early for that especial purpose as does the brawny Englishman. PIES NOT HARMFUL THAT IB, PROVIDING THEY ARE PROPERLY MADE. Imperfectly Prepared, the Strongest Digestion Has Much to Do to Cope with Them—Method of Making Pastry. "Do you believe in pies?" asked a prim-looking student of an up-to-date cooking teacher. "Yes," responded the teacher promptly, "for those who can digest them." And the philosophy of a pie diet lies in her answer. Pies will not hurt the man or woman who has a perfect digestion and leads an active life, particularly the active, outdoor life. They are lead on the stomach of the man or woman who lives a sedentary life and who has never known what perfect health is. And as there are many men and women in cities and outside who have good digestions, despite the prevalence of nervous prostration, why not give them an occasional pie as a special treat? First, as to the pastry for the foundation. If you want good old-fashioned crust with a slight aid to digestion added try this recipe, in which baking powder is introduced: Three cups sifted flour, one-half cup of lard, one and one-half cups butter, one-half teaspoon of baking powder, one cup cold water. Sift the baking powder into the flour, cut the lard into the flour with a silver knife and mix it into a smooth paste with the water. Set away on ice for 15 minutes. Press the milk and salt out of the butter with a clean, cold, wet towel and flour it lightly. Now roll out your dough on a well-floured board, lay the butter on it, fold over and roll out until it is half an inch thick. Turn it over, fold each end into the middle, flour lightly and roll out again. Repeat this process at least three times and the butter will be worked into the flour without a touch of your warm hands. Heat makes pastry heavy. This pastry is better if it remains on ice for half a day or more before using. Here are fillings for the paste: Cream Pie—In a double boiler, place one pint of sweet milk when polling hot add two tablespoonfuls of flour and two of cornstarch rubbed smooth in a little cold milk. Beat the yolks of two eggs into half a cup of granulated sugar and turn into the thickened milk. Boll, stirring constantly, until the eggs are set, remove from the fire, cool and flavor with vanilla or lemon. Pour into pie tins already lined with the pastry and bake in the oven. That is, the under crust is baked before the filling is added. Over the top of the filling spread a meringue made of the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff, with two tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar. Brown to a golden tint in a moderately quick oven and serve very cold. Lemon Pie—Grated rind, pulp and juice (after carefully removing every seed) of one lemon; cup sugar, one-third cup of water, yolks of three eggs, one teaspoon of butter (melted), one teaspoon of cornstarch. Rub water, cornstarch and sugar together. Add beaten yolks of eggs, melted butter and lemon, pour into pie tins with under crust only. When baked spread with meringue made with whites of the three eggs and three tablespoons of sugar. Pumpkin Pie—Three cups of steamed pumpkin has been mashed and run through a sieve or fine colander, two teaspoons of brown sugar, three eggs, one-half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of ginger, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one-half nutmeg grated, one pinch allspice, one pint new milk. Bake in an undercrust in a slow oven for one hour. Sufficient for two big pies. Using the Gridiron Always grease the gridiron well and have it hot before the meat is placed on it. Fish should be buttered and sprinkled with flour, which will prevent the skin from adhering to the gridiron. Birds and other things which need to be halved should be broiled inside first. Remember that a hot, clear fire is necessary for cooking all small articles. They should be turned often to be cooked evenly without being burned. Never put your fork in the lean part of meat on the gridiron, as it allows the juice to escape. Cover the gridiron with a tin pan or a baking pan. The sooner the meat is cooked without burning the better; the pan holds the heat and often prevents a stray line of smoke from touching the meat. If the fire should be too hot sprinkle salt over it. Oysters a la Kipling Mix half a tablespoonful each of flour and curry powder with a little cream until smooth. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a sauce-pan; add a tablespoonful of grated apple, and simmer gently for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and add the flour and curry and half a pint of cream, and cook gently 15 minutes; add a pint of drained oysters and cook just till the gills curl. Serve in a border of plain boiled eggs. Prune Croquette. These were a novelty served with creamed chicken. They were made of prunes and a few chopped, nuts. The prunes, soaked and cooked until they were tender, were mashed through a fruit press after the pits had been removed. Then the pulp was mixed with bread crumbs, an egg and the nuts, molded into shape rolled in egg and crumbs and fried in deep fat. They were dressed lightly with a tart lemon sauce.

Herr Bebel to Lecture and Look for Slow Growth of His Cause. New-York.—One of Germany's most remarkable public men is to visit this city. Herr Bebel, the spectacular leader of the German Socialists, has planned for a tour of the United States at an early day. He wishes to study the workingmen organizations here, the politics of the American Republic, and to learn why it is that in the country which, in his view, has suffered most from the great moneyed J. Herr August Ferdinand Bebel. trusts socialism has made so little headway. Herr Bebel will lecture in New York and other cities. He expects to spend considerable time in the coal and iron regions and the great manufacturing centers to learn first hand how the American workingman is treated. Herr Bebel is himself a wealthy man as wealth is counted in Germany. His possessions are said to aggregate a million marks, acquired largely by bequests from wealthy admirers, which business thrift has augmented August Ferdinand Bebel is now seventy-seven years old. He was born in Cologne, the son of a German army corporal. In early boyhood he was apprenticed to a turner. After serving his apprenticeship he tramped about the country as a wandering journeyman in his trade. He later opened a shop in Leipsig, and there joined the workingmen's movement. As early as 1902 Herr Bebel had attracted the attention of the government to his radical utterances on socialism, and he was put in prison for his teachings. In 1872 he was arrested with the Socialist Liebknecht on a charge of high treason, and was sentenced to two years imprisonment in the fortress of Hubertusburg. Altogether Bebel has been behind the bars fifty-seven months for political offenses. For thirty years Bebel has been a member of the state parliament of Saxony and has sat in the Reichstag for the second district of Hamburg. THE MEXICAN CARGODORE. Takes the Place of Drays and Express Wagons in Many Cities. Mexico City.—The Mexican peon is capable of bearing great burden upon Cargodore Carrying Load of Wild Sunflower Used for Fuel. Cargodore Carrying Load of Wild Sunflower Used for Fuel. his back. The cargadores of Mexico answer the purpose of express wagons and drays in all of the principal cities and towns. They meet the trains at the depots and offer to carry the trunks and baggage of passengers to the hotels and other stopping places. They handle practically all the transfer business of the country. These men are capable of carrying several hundred pounds of weight. One of the industries in the vicinity of the town of Sillao is the gathering and sale of wild sunflowers for fuel. It is formed into enormous bundles and brought into town upon the backs of the Mexican peons. Sometimes these bundles of wild sunflowers are so large that the man motive power underneath is almost lost sight of. They trot along the streets with their loads, giving no outward sign of the great weight they are bearing. Diamond Welohs 3,000 Karats Diamond Weights 3,000 Karats. Although the Cullinan diamond, which-Gen. Botha wants to present to King Edward, weighs over 3,000 karats in its present natural state, there is no telling what its weight will be when cut. The Kohinoor was reduced by an unskilled stonecutter from 7935 karats to 280 karats; a second cutting brought it down to 186 1-16 karats, and a third to 106 1-16 karats, or less than a seventh of its original size. The original weight of the Pitt or Regent diamond was 410 karats, but in the hands of the cutter two-thirds disappeared, while the Star of the South, which was picked up, in a river by a negress, lost a little over half its weight by cutting. MAYFLOWER CAPTAIN C. T. VOGELGESANG ASSIGNED TO PRESIDENT'S YACHT. is an Officer of Wide and Varied Experience—President Impressed by Ability on Panama Trip Influence Selection. Washington.—"He is a good shipmate," is the opinion of the officers of the navy regarding Lieutenant Commander Carl T. Vogelgesang, who has just been assigned to the command of the Mayflower, President Roosevelt's private yacht. He is not only one well liked in the service, but possesses a high order of ability and has had an eventful and successful career in the navy. President Roosevelt's new protege was born in 1867 in California, and entered the naval academy Sept. 6, 1886, and was graduated July 1, 1892. From that time the department made him lead a busy life. He did duty successively on the wooden cruiser Mohican, the supply ship Celtic and was in the bureau of navigation when the war with Spain began and he was ordered to the gunboat Bancroft which did blockade duty on the Cuban coast. At the close of the Spanish war Lieutenant Commander Vogelgesang made an expedition around the Isle of Pines to gather information for the government. As a recognition for this service he was given a medal of honor. Then he went around Cape Horn, with Capt. Barker, and to the Philo- Y. K. F. plines, where he was placed in command of one of the light draught launches and conducted a vigorous campaign against the hostile natives in the dangerous country on the north of Manila bay. It required a resourceful and courageous man for this duty. But he met the situation to the satisfaction of his superiors, and succeeded in clearing the region of this undesirable element, and brought about peace, which has never been broken. In 1901 he returned to the United States and was assigned to the battle ship Wisconsin, and was in command of the turret in which a gun crew broke the record for rapid and accurate gun practice. Later he was a government inspector of materials, and his next assignment was to the first-class battle ship Kentucky, where he remained until transferred to duty at the bureau of navigation in the navy department. When the battle ship Louisiana went to Panama with President Roosevelt on board, Lieutenant Commander Vogelgesang was the navigating officer, and it was then he first attracted the notice of President Roosevelt, who was so favorably impressed by the efficient manner in which the young officer performed his duty that he caused him to be placed in command of the Mayflower. The best officers of the navy are chosen for this duty. Lieutenant Commander Vogelgesang is an expert turret captain. After the disastrous explosion on the battle ship Georgia, when several officers and men lost their lives, he was appointed on the special turret board to investigate the cause of the accident. He, with the other officers of the board, visited the vessels of the fleet and questioned the officers and men as to their knowledge of and experience with flarebacks. His own experience was, of value to the board, and as a result of the work of this board additional precautions have been taken to prevent similar accidents in the future. Lieutenant Commander Vogelgesang is an almost perfect specimen of physical manhood, being 6 feet tall, deepchested and unusually well proportioned. He has light, curly hair and merry blue eyes. A man of frank speech, he desires his companions to be "on the level" with him. His wife several years ago, was Miss Shephard, the daughter of the late Rear Admiral E. M. Shephard. Saw Strange Meteor. The captain of the steamer Castilian Prince, which has just arrived here from Fernandina, told of a brilliant meteor which was seen one recent night from his ship while off Barnegat, on the Jersey coast. The mariner reports that the meteor was so bright that all the ship's lights cast a shadow "as black as your hand," while the beat was so intense as to cause the tar in the seams to boil as if in the tar of a tropical sun—N. Y. Sun. A HUNTING PARSON. Preached His Sermons Scated on a Saddle Top Stool. London.—At the picturesque old church of Berkswell in Warwickshire, there is to be seen a saddle-top stool made according to the wish of a former incumbent who was a keen follower of the hounds. The pastime almost became the passion of his life, so much so that he actually had the stool made and placed in his pulpit, and seated astride of it he preached his sermons Sunday by Sunday throughout the year. The proceeding was a Saddle-Top Stool Once Used In Pulpit. novel one for this country, but in Australia horseback services are not so rare. One of them took place some years ago in a parish, which as well as the surrounding district, had been visited by serious floods. The dwelling houses were many feet deep in water, but the people were determined not to forego their Sabbath services, so they set out on horseback for their little chapel, only to find on arriving there that that was also flooded out. The minister was a man, of resource, and he suggested that they should hold service just as they were, mounted on horseback, outside the church. Everyone immediately fell in with the idea, and hymns were sung and a sermon preached just as fervently as if the worshippers had been seated inside the church. Then when the service was over the worshippers turned their horses' heads and rode home through the flood. WILL SEEK SCHMITZ' PLACE. San Francisco Unions Plan to Elect P. H. McCarthy Mayor. San Francisco.—Will union labor elect the next mayor of San Francisco, notwithstanding the sins of its old candidate, Eugene Schmitz? The old parties fear the present labor candidate, P. H. McCarthy. He himself boldly declares at his meetings: "I am San Francisco's next mayor." McCarthy is a wonder as an organizer. For fifteen years he has been president of the building trades council, the strongest body of affiliated unions in the United States. For ten PH M'CARTHY years he has been in the thickest of San Francisco's political fights. McCarthy expects to make a great fight. He says his defeat will sound the knell of unionism in San Francisco. It is asserted that President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation will come here in person to supervise the campaign, even going so far as to bid on the city's bonds as a guaranty of McCarthy's ability to restore confidence in the east. The Only Grace She Knew. Well has the Duchess of Sutherland been called "The Children's Duchess," for it is the chief object of her life to improve the lot of our poorer little ones—particularly those, who are alling. The other day she paid a visit to the Stoke Workhouse Homes to cheer the little invalids. She took a particular fancy to one little sufferer, and asked her various questions. The child, accustomed to seeing no other ladies than nurses, kept addressing her as "nurse." "You mustn't say 'nurse,' dear," said one of the sisters. "You should say, 'Your Grace.'" The little invalid immediately folded her hands and repeated the short prayer with which she always prefaced her meals. The Duchess could not help laughing, but bent over and kissed the earnest little lips—London Answers. FAIRFAX NOW ABRITON IS NATURALIZED AND CAN SIT IN HOUSE CF LORDS. New York Bank Clerk, Head of Family Descended from Scotch Peerage, Gets Social Aspira. London.—Albert Kirby Fairfax, twelfth Baron Fairfax of Cameron in the peerage of Scotland, has taken out naturalization papers as a British citizen and now will be entitled to sit in the house of lords. Lord Fairfax was born in Maryland in 1870. He is the son of John Contee Fairfax, M. D., and Mary, Baroness Fairfax, a daughter of Col. Edmund Kirby of the United States army. Until a half dozen years ago Lord Fairfax resided in the United States. His family had been connected in times past with that of George Washington by ties of marriage. Possessing a Scotch peerage, he disdained to make use of it, preferring his birthright as an American. He was thus not only from an American but likewise from an European point of view a far more distinguished personage than an impoverished Scotch peer, living in London, with no land in Scotland, no castle, no seat in the house of lords, no powerful relations, and compelled to work for his living, with nothing but his barren title by way of capital. The Fairfax peerage was created in 1627, and the fifth Lord Fairfax left LORD FATREAX. his home and estates in Scotland in 1722 for America, because he was disappointed in love and, as he believed, badly treated by the members of his family. By an arrangement with the crown he secured a patent for a tract of over 5,000,000 acres of land in Virginia, and was the richest man in all the colonies in his day. He was the friend of Washington and employed the future father of his country in surveying. His manor house was near Mount Vernon. Lord Fairfax, however, died without children, and his property was inherited by his brother, William Fairfax, who married Sally Cary, the "Lowland beauty," who jilted Washington. They had no children and when William Fairfax died Robert, the younger brother, came into the title and estate. From him the Fairfaxes of the United States are descended. During the revolutionary war the title was held by the Rev. Bryan Fairfax, who was rector of Christ's church, Alexandria, of which Washington was a vestryman. He sympathized with the colonies, was intimate with Washington, and contributed money as well as prayers for the cause of the rebels. From him after two generations was descended John Fairfax, who was entitled to a place in the English peerage, but did not care to claim it. He lived in Washington, where he practiced medicine and was high in professional repute until the civil war broke out, when his sympathies with the confederacy caused him to be ostracised. He lost his patients and his friends, and picking up what money he had bought a secluded plantation in Maryland and lived there until 1900, when he was called to his last account. Dr. Fairfax left two sons and several daughters. Albert, the elder, became a clerk in a banking house in New York city, and having social aspirations, recovered for the benefit of himself and his posterity the title and privileges that belong to the British peerage. It was from the Fairfax family's settlement in Virginia that Thackeray drew the inspiration for his novels, "Henry Esmond" and "The Virginians." The Brute. "Such an angel of a hat," chirped the vain woman as she twirled before the mirror. "Yellow and white. What does it remind you of, my dear?" The big man in the embroidered slippers looked up from his paper. "Yellow and white?" he repeated. "Well, now, on the level, it reminds me of a fried egg." "According to this paper," said Homer, "there are three varieties-of dogs that never bark." "That may be true," replied Vanmove, "but I never had the luck to live next door to one of 'em." TOP OF VOLCANO BLOWN OFF. Mount Colima, in Mexico, After the Eruption of March, 1903. Washington.—It was said until recently that Mount Colima, which displays more volcanic activity than all the other volcanoes of Mexico together, was one of the three of four finest and most regular mountain cones in the world. It is nearer to the ocean than any other volcano in Mexico and is an imposing object from the sea, for its entire height of nearly 13,000 feet is revealed. No one until 1903 had ever looked into Collima's crater, for it was merely a great chimney, the top of which was the point of the cone. No one had Volcano with Top Blown Off. climbed the mountain, and the crater was not visible from the plain below. was not visible from the plain below. No lava was ever known to overflow the lip of the crater. The eruptive forces sent columns of black volcanic dust miles into the air, but did not seem to be sufficiently powerful to lift the lava quite up to the top of the cone. The symmetry of the mountain therefore was not destroyed by outpourings of molten rock. The accompanying picture, from a photograph published by the meteorological observatory of Mexico, shows that a great change in the appearance of Colima has taken place. The picture was taken in 1903 after the eruption of March 2 of that year. The blast coming out of the crater simply tore the top of the mountain to pieces. The crater was enlarged to many times its former size. All one side of the upper part of the cone was torn away. The rim of the crater is now about a mile around and presents an irregular border on all sides, with projecting points in the form of a crown. This is the latest example in America of volcanic energy so tremendously powerful as to carry away the upper part of a mountain and make a great and permanent change in its appearance. OMAHA MEN HONORED. Bascom H. Robison Elected President of American Life Convention. Omaha, Neb.-At the second annual convention of the American Life convention held recently at Indianapolis, Bascom H. Robison of Omaha, was elected president of the organization and was also made a member of the executive committee. The convention was attended by representatives of 44 companies, representing policyholders carrying more than $630,000,000 of insurance. The convention represented practically all of the old line legal reserve companies between the Allegheny mountains M. Bascorr H. Robison. and the Pacific coast and the lakes and the gulf. Mr. Robison's company, the Bankers' Reserve Life, has more than $1,100,000 cash assets, more than $18,000,000 insurance in force and anticplates an income 'of over $1,000,000 next year. Pertinent Question. The lank, long-haired young man looked dreamily at the charming girl on whom he was endeavoring to make a favorable impression. "Did you ever long for death?" he asked, in a low and moving tone. "Whose?" inquired the charming but practical young person.—Youth's Companion. A Music Lover. "Do you think you will give any musicales this winter?" "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox. "I like them. They give me a chance to keep still instead of inviting criticisms of my grammar from mother and the girls."-Washington Star. Substitution. Clifford had prayed heartily for a little sister, and now a brother was born. That night he knelt by the bedside and said, kindly but firmly: "No thank You, God, I want what I asked for."—Puck.

The drastic and inconsistent rules of the Superintendent of Public Instruction have been repealed and the order of the Superintendent concerning text-books has been repealed by Captain Oyster, president of the Board of Education. The drastic order to compel teachers to attend all the public meetings called by the Superintendent was a hardship to the teachers. It was indeed a relief to the teachers when Dr. Chancellor informed the teachers that they need not attend these meetings. The schools have been without books since the opening of the schools in September. The Czar order of the Superintendent concerning the text-books was ordered repealed by the President of the Board of Education. Captain Oyster is convinced that a change in the office of both superintendents is an absolute necessity. Bruce is not big enough for the colored schools, and Chancellor is too small for the white schools. The president of the Board of Education will be compelled to make a change in the office of the Superintendents. The Board of Education is in duty bound to protect the teachers from existing conditions. Now is the time to put a stop to the revolutionary methods of the Superintendent. Teachers are praying for relief, and to the President of the Board they look for relief. It would be better for the Board to relieve the schools of this growing burden than Congress. If the Board fails, Congress will certainly will not. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE There are many departments in the general government that will not employ colored clerks after they have successfully passed the civil service examination. In the Forest Division of the United States Department of Agriculture two young colored women, who have passed the civil service examination, were sent for and after they presented themselves they were informed that they would be sent for within a week. That week has never arrived. Last week a young colored lady who had passed the examination received the following letter: Forest Division, Washington, November 6, 1907. Miss Dear Madam: Kindly call at this office, 930 F street, N. E., in regard to a temporary position as clerk at a salary of $600 per annum. Very respectfully Thursday, November 7th, the lady called and she was escorted in the presence of his highness only to be told that she would be sent for this week. The lady has not been sent for as yet. This kind of business obtains in many of the departments of the government. Even when a colored person passes the examination what show has he? The Bee respectfully calls the attention of the Secretary of Agriculture to this practice, and hopes that he will remedy it. There are hundreds of bleached colored Americans going over the country denouncing those in the South because of the alleged opposition to the colored people. These self-same bleached Negroes have not one-half the love for the colored people as those whom they are denouncing. These same individuals have opposed the dark-skin individuals on account of their color, and when they get away from the city they attempt to make an impression by denouncing the white people in the South for alleged wrongs against the Negro. Every white citizen in the South is not against the colored American. The Bee firmly believes that there are thousands of white citizens in the South as friendly to the colored race as there are in the North.. Let these bleached Negroes come down off their perch. NEGRO TOADIES. Just why certain colored men, before they are appointed to office, seem to exercise so much manhood, but the moment they get a taste of the government till their mouths are closed like a clam-shell in a healthy conditions is a thing we can not quite understand. Before many more weeks pass by the Second Baptist Sunday School Lyceum will meet an ignominious death. The enemies of the race will from time to time be invited to address this Lyceum and undoubtedly it will be from a mercenary standpoint. If the colored people of this city have any pride at all they will rebuke the scheme by remaining at home or attend a forum that has self-respect enough to invite its friends to address the colored people. There are some people in the Negro race who must be taught good sense when they seem to lose it. UNITED REPUBLICANS. The meeting of the United Republicans of the twenty-two districts that met in Grand Army Hall last week demonstrated the harmony that exists among the Republicans in the District of Columbia. What is needed is a representative convention of Republicans, both white and colored. The enemy is at our door, and thousands of Republicans have been disfranchised and more are to be disfranchised if the Democratic party in the State of Maryland succeeds in carrying its Constitutional amendment. It is not believed that the citizens of Maryland will be a party to the Democratic steal that means the disfranchisement of honest citizens. WHY NOT INVESTIGATE? The Board of Education should scrutinize all recommendations made by the supervising principals before it gives its final vote. The Bee has in view a case of a teacher who was transferred or promoted from the third to the fourth grade who was not entitled to it, and before the promotion went into effect an order was made revoking the first recommendation and the night teacher was promoted to the grade to which she was entitled. There is too much of this business going on in our schools, and when these useless positions of supervising principalas are abolished these meritorious teachers will receive what is coming to them. The recent order of the Superintendenet of Public Instruction, compelling teachers to attend meetings every day after school hours, has been repealed by the Superintendent. This is a great relief to the overworked teachers. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. This Southern fire-eater and dem- This Southern fire-eater and demagogue has been engaged by Mr. Hearst to edit his paper. Just why Mr. Hearst should invite a man like JohnTempleGraves to edit his paper The Bee is unable to state. Mr. Hearst, however, has a motive in view. Mr.Graves' business in the South cannot be a paying institution, that a man of his journalistic reputation should leave such a lucrative (?) business South and go North to edit an independent paper is something that Mr. Hearst will no doubt explain to the people. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen an excerpt from an exchange of a recent speech of Ben Tillman. If this colored auditor had exercised good sense he would have remained away from the Chicago meeting and permitted this disorganizer and defamer of the colored race to have had his say unmolested. No person with any respect for himself would dignify this man by going anywhere he speaks. The Negro race is the only nationality in which you will find monkeys and no race with a grain of sense would tolerate Tillman's presence. LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEX Will The Bee's most distinguished friend, Captain James F. Oyster, inform it what has become of the finding in the recent Bruce investigation? Has it been lost, straved, or stolen. It is about time, Captain, that you let the public have the decision of your committee. The people have the most implicit confidence in you. DUTY OF BRUCE. If Roscoe Conkling Br is a man he should come out of his own signature and state why he wrote that libelous letter. The Bee knows, but the public is in the dark, and sooner or later he will be compelled to disclose. THE HOLIDAYS. The holiday season is drawing near and if the merchants want a good advertising medium let them send their orders to The Bee, or send for its advertising representative. Floods will be the prevailing doings in the public schools now. The people look to Captain Oyster to relieve them of Chancellor. Put the schools in charge of the Commissioners. Who wrote the Cardoza letter? The Bee has a few startling developments. The removal of Chancellor and Bruce, of the colored schools, is the demand of the people. If Chancellor is not removed at once by the Board of Education, Congress will. Mr. George F. . Cook, or Prof. H. M. Brown would make good superitendents of the colored schools. The people are more enthusiastic in placing the schools under the control of the District Commissioners and allowing the colored citizens to manage their own schools. Roscoe Conkling Bruce can't hide behind his age. He must suffer the consequences. If he was used as a cat's paw by anyone, it is evident that he is not the man for the place. Why should supervising principals ask for information that will cause the schools to be put at a standstill? If the Board of Education does not relieve the teachers of this reign of terror that exists in the schools, Congress will. The Committee on Text-Books will have a scandal in the schools if it is not careful. The introduction of text-books into the schools by persons who may be the friends of school officials will undoubtedly lead to a Congressional investigation. Another notorious rule should be looked into by the school authorities. And that is whenever a supervising principal wants information, rincipals of-school must stop her school at once and put every teacher to work to appease the scare of supervising principals. Beginning with tomorrow the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. W. H Brooks, and the sixty-eighth anniversary of the church. Mr. N. A. Murray, a former graduate of our High School, is in charge of the agriculturing and dairying work of Morgan College. It has been announced that Howard University football team will play the Lincoln University team on the Randall Field November 16th. It is the intention of the New England Constitution and Suffrage League to have an "Anti-Interstate Jim Crow" bill introduced and passed at the coming session of Congress. Mr. Charles Lee, of this city, will sing in Ansonia, Conn., Thanksgiving evening in German Hall. Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife of the President, has become a member of the New York State Assembly of Mothers. Rev. Allen Tupper, of New York, says he will never accept another cent for preaching the gospel. While not rich, he has an income of his own. Mr. H. L. Taylor, vice president of the I. L. U., who is on a lecturing tour, arrived in this city the latter part of last week, and left last Thursday for points in the Southland. It seems as correct to capitalize the names of men, be the men ever so terrible, as to begin Jim Crow with capitals. Such consistency on the part of some newspapers is glaring. Miss Emma J. Lisday of Yonkers, N. Y., accompanied the remains of her brother to Washington for burial from New Mexico where he died. Mrs. Margaret Jones, an old and respected resident of Philadelphia. Pa., died at her home in that city last week, after a lingering illness. A large portion of the ash dump slid down the hill into Rock Creek last Saturday morning.

HENRY PINKHAM WOULD PREFER NEGRO TO SENATOR AS LAW-MAKER The justice of the white men of the South, and not the savage origin of the Negro has been responsible for the race problem that confronts Senator Tillman's people, according to the views of Rev. Henry W. Pinkham, pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church of Denver, who interrupted the Senator in his lecture at the First Baptist Church last evening. "Senator Tillman does not give the Negro a 'square deal,'" the Rev. Mr. Pinkham declares. "He seems to forget that the existence of a million or more mulattoes in the South must mean the wholesale corruption of the white men of that section. He skips lightly over their sins and gives all the lash to the blacks. He should stop to think that is little wonder the wives and sisters of the white men in the South tremble when it is considered that the offspring of those million mulattoes are abroad in the land. The mothers of these half-breed Negroes were black, the fathers were white. "Senator Tillman should also pause to remember that at the present rate the white men of his section will soon have the race problem solved by an amalgation of the white man with the black woman. It will be a matter of only a generation or so before the Negro blood will be in the minor proportion as compared with the white man's blood. Interrupted Speaker. "Booker Washington's father was a white man, his mother was a black woman. Senator Tillman stated last night that any good qualities Booker Washington may possess were inherited from his unknown white father. "I interrupted the lecturer to ask the Senator if he would commend that father's example. "He shouted back to me that he would not; that it would be his plan to bring that father North, where he belonged, as a lover of the Negro. "I then asked Tillman if his plan was carried out as regards all white men in the South who had been guilty of similar sins as Booker Washington's father, if there would be any white men left in his section of the country. "My question was misunderstood as an assertion or an accusation, and the Senator promptly shouted that I was a liar. "I explained to him that I had not stated that all white men in the South were of that character, but had asked him if they were. I further stated that I had never been in the South, and knew nothing of conditions there, and for that reason had attended his lecture. "He promptly apologized and declared that there are hundreds of thousands of white men in his section who have never been guilty of the crime in question. Are Easy Victims. "He followed this declaration with the statement that we have more immoral white women in the North than exist in the South, because the great ambition o fevery black woman is to be come the mother of a white child, consequently the black women are easy victims of the white men. "It was at this point that he was asked for a remedy that would solve the problem of immorality in the white race, and his reply was that this was the greatest conundrum that had ever been propounded to him or any other man. At the same time, he continued his attack upon the loose morals of the Negro race. "For my part, I don't see that the solution of the race problem is to be found in calling the blacks harsh names. The better way would seem to be to teach the white men of the South to be decent. The people of every race have enough of the beast in him to fully occupy their time in correcting their own evils, and the people of the South are in no better condition to throw stones than are those of the North or any other section of this or any other country. "Senator Tillman's demand for a government of, by and for the white man is, in my opinion, another error. What we want is a government directed by intelligent men. For my part, I would prefer to have our laws made by Booker Washington than" by Ben Tillman. Not Fair to Lucas. "The Senator was not fair to Professor Lucas, a Negro educator, who interrupted him with a question last night. Tillman referred to Lucas, who is a mulatto, as "a thing," and told him that, as he was apparently seven-eighths white, he should call himself a white man—as if the Senator would recognize Lucas as white, even if the latter had only one drop of white blood in his veins. "For my part, too. I am inclined to give the Negro great credit for the pro- gress he has made. When you come that the great-grandfathers of the ent-day Negroes were naked savage a wild country, and that only a position ago the American Negro was in the chains of slavery, it would say that the race is making rapid move forward, regardless of any utterance of Tillman to the contrar. "Three subjects were played by the entertainment committee here by Senator with the assurance that he would speak upon any one we might. These were: "Corruption in American Politics," "Trusts and Racial" "The Race Problem." "The majority were in favor of latter. I wanted to hear him first question, referred to by him "Cussedness," instead of Corruption in American politics. I think we have been more entertaining. Rev. Pinkham remained through the lecture last night. He says that while Senator Tillman was plain spiked and gave offense to many Negroes present, that at no time was there any of a riotous nature.

THE BEE A GREAT PAPER From the Colored American Appeal Just as we go to press the much- expected Washington Bee puts in its spree breezy and delightful appearance. We welcome The Bee to our sanctum. We observe that since we saw it last The Bee has not forgotten how to se stinger. The Bee has never hesitated sting when in its judgment the case demanded it. Mr. Chase is without doubt one of the ablest editorial writers in the country. But woe unto the man who offends him. The Washington school middle is still occupying its unenviable positions before the public. Criminations and recriminations are made with impunity. While the question is purely a local one it gives to the doubters of the nation ability to manage their own affairs a certain amount of comfort. Washington City contains some of the most brilliant products of our race, and it is not creditable at all to the partisans of either side that this perpetual school fight should longer continue WHY NEGROES SHOULD EMPLOY ACCOUNTANTS Is there any special reason why the members of the Negro Business League should be interested in the subject of accounting? Up to the present time Negro businesses have been, for the most part, of the kindergarten variety. Even with these we have found that it is easier to sell our goods than to get the money for them. Now there are many devices besides the ordinary set of books which can help us get control of our business, estimate with certainty our profits, and stop all the leaks. We need men who make a profession of what I have called the record side of the business. We can sell goods—we have that knack. The place where we are weak—the place where the average man doing small business is weak—is on the record side. We cannot keep track of things. But there is another place where we need accountants. We are just beginning to start banks and big corporations, which seek to collect and administer large sums of money. We are just beginning to be capitalists. We are getting into the world of finance. Now business on this large scale where there are hundreds and perhaps thousands of persons who have their money invested in a single company or a single enterprise, is a very different proposition from a little corner grocery. It is a serious question whether we are yet fitted to engage in business on the scale that this implies. Nevertheless we must go into these enterprises; we must learn to manage big corporations, but we ought to learn to run them at a little expense as possible. Experience is a hard school, but the worst thing about having to learn by the expensive method of experience is that failure, particularly repeated failure, of Negro enterprises will destroy our credit. The mass of people will come to believe that they cannot afford to educate Negro financiers by that method, and they will not be able to discriminate — A Tuekegee Bookkeeper in the Southern Workman. John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga. will assume the chief editorship of the New York American on November 15 The Week in Society The Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, paid their annual visit to Mariam Chapter, No. 8, Thursday, November 7, 1907. The Chapter was artistically decorated with palms, chrysanthemums and flags, and after the welcome address, by the Royal Patron, J. Thomas Tascoe, and a short program, the committee reported the Chapter being in an excellent condition. Miss Alexine Davis and Miss Dorothy Johnson have returned to the city. While in Chelsea, Mass., they were the guests of Miss Caroline Ruffin. Mrs. J. B. Mealcy spent a pleasant time while in Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. S.

They claim that he has always made good wherever he has a fighting chance for his life, and speak of his record as student and citizen. This being the second promotion after a brief service, The Bee extends its congratulations. Services at the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church on O street between Seventh and Eighth streets temporarily, were indeed good last Sunday. Dr. Drew, the pastor, preached a stirring sermon at the evening service, and a good sermon was delivered in the morning by a visiting minister. All eyes are being tuurmed toward the beginning of the great rally on next Sunday, when all numbers and friends are expected to respond loyalty to the cause. Dr Drew has things well in hand. He has just returned from New York city, where he went as a representative of Christ's College, Baltimore, Md., to confer the degree of D.D. upon the Rev. Richard Brown, pastor of Day Star Baptist Church. During his short stay Dr Drew was entertained by Rev. N. S Epps, of Mercy Seat Baptist Church; Mrs Blair, 1956 Amsterdam avenue; Rev R.

During the present season the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, presided over by Miss Marie A. D. Marie, has been addressed by three of Washington's most eminent minister. On the opening night Rev. J. Milton Waldron gave a very interesting and instructive talk on "Socialism." He said that there was a growing sentiment the people toward Socialism; that the Railway Rate bill was in accord with its principles; that government ownership of railways was a Socialistic measure, and he referred to the fact that three-fifths of the entire wealth of the country was held by four thousand millionaires, while thousands are starving for bread. He said the party whose motto was "Equal Rights For All; Special Privileges For None," was the party under whose banner we ought to fight. The second evening Rev. Sterling N. Brown read a forcible discourse on "The Public School Question." Special attention was given to the qualification of teachers, courses of study to be pursued, and co-operation on the part of those most interested. He said that ericicism of any school system was helpful, and showed interest on the part of the patrons. Prof. Kelly Miller and the Rev. L. B. Moore participated in the discussion that followed. A vocal selection was rendered by Mrs. M. Beckley. Tuesday night of this week Rev. J. H. Welch spoke on "The New Negro, and What He Is Doing." He said that the new Negro was trying to be a man; to claim his rights as a citizen; that he has made wonderful progress in intelligence, wealth, morality; that he has one hundred millions in the banks of this country, and is owner of real estate, stocks, bonds, business enterprises of various sort and kinds, including nineteen millions in school property and forty millions in church property. Numbering ten million, he cannot be ignored, but is going to make his presence felt in the government of which he is part. The paper was discussed by Rev. S. N. Brown and others. Rev. Brown feared there was a tendency of the younger element to try to ignore the Christian Church and its teachings. DR. SHADD OUT. The numerous friends of Dr. F. J. Shadd will be glad to know that he has almost fully recovered from his recent illness and is able to be out again. The doctor left the city for the East this week, and will be gone several months. The Bee wishes him a pleasant trip and safe return. VALUABLE WORK Much valuable work is being accom- plished by Miss R. E. Bell in her lectures to her people, which are full of sound and wholesome advice. Her numerous engagements in this and other cities testify to her success. On Monday, October 28, she spoke to an audience of five hundred people, the occasion was the dedication of St. Scipian's new hall, which was entirely successful. Besides the three commanderies of the District of Columbia, there were present the knights from Baltimore and Prince George's county, Md. The ladies' auxiliary was also present. Some of the leading spirits of the enterprise were: H. Reed, manager; Henry Shorter, president; J. F. Waters, secretary; A. Smallwood, treasurer; George H.Banks, sergeant-atarms; Captain Young, W. F. Lee; T. D. Bowman, vice president; A. Brown, second vice president; J. F. Lancaster, recording secretary. Vesper services will begin at Mrs. L. R. Clarke's Training School, 2000 Eleventh street northwest Sunday November 16. An interesting program will be rendered. Visitors are all ewelcome. I. L. U. GRAND LODGE IS ADVANCING — WANTS MORE The I. L. U. Grand Lodge of Dayton, Ohio, is growing very rapidly these days new subordinate lodges and State and District Councils being formed almost daily. From private reports received from the Grand Lodge offices we learn that the membership is growing at a rapid pace and that the entire office force of the Grand Lodge is being taxed to its utmost to handle the ever-increasing business. The growth of this Order has been so great that it was necessary to secure new Grand Lodge quarters, and on November 1 the new offices especially fitted up on the third floor of the I. L. U. Building were occupied. These quarters are fitted up grandly and are very commodious. Grand President Critchlow and Grand Secretary Elliott state that they will be glad at any time to greet the friends and members of the I. L. U. in their new quarters. This order is different in principle from the regular fraternal and benefit lodges, and does not aim to compete with them nor interfere with their work in any way whatever. In fact, a great many of the faithful and enthusiastic I. L. U. people are leaders in other lodges, too, but as the two are founded upon a different principle they can work to good advantage in both. While the underlying principles of the I. L. U, are to elevate, protect and financially assist our wage-earning brethren and sisters, and to support them in sickness and bury the deceased member, yet the help of all good race people is needed to advance and spread this order into new parts. Teachers, doctors, ministers of the gospel, and all such can help by taking hold and working up the matter in their own vicinity. Grand President Critchlow states that he is very desirous of getting a reliable party in each locality where there is none now at work, and that he will pay well for such services. Any of our readers desiring to act as his Deputy can get full information by writing to this address: Grand President Critchlow, 107 I. L. U. Building, Dayton, Ohio. CHATEAU DE PLAISANCE. Chicago, Ill., November 14. The Grand Opening of the Leland Giants Base Ball and Amusement Association's New Enterprise at 5322-24 State Street, last Saturday night, was all that could be expected. It was not only well patronized, but had as its patrons some of the best people in Chicago. Among them were Professor Emanuel, wife and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Seay, David Monson, S. B. Turner, Mrs. Belle Patton, Mrs. S. Bolden, Dr. and Mrs. White, Dr. Jefferson. Julius Taylor, and numerous others of good repute and standing. The skating was clever and up to date, Mrs. Emanuel and Maj. R. R. Jackson taking the prize for best and clever skating. This Saturday night there will be a tournament. Some of the best talent in the city has been entered. The Name Judges will also announce the prize winners, and an all-round good time is expected, as the management will give a wine supper to the best skating couple at the French, Chinese, and American Restaurant in connection at the close of the evening performance. Our people should not hesitate to patronize this enterprise, and a failure to do so is an evidence of race decadence. Skating every evening from 7 to 12:30, except Wednesday evening, when dancing will be the feature. BRUCE WAS CHILLED AND JOHNSON APPLAUDED — EVEN THE SECOND BAPTIST MEMBERS REPUIATED HIM. What was looked to be a large audience last Sunday at the Second Baptist Lyceum was a surprise to Rev. W. B. Johnson. His own congregation gave Roscoe Conkling Bruce a chilly reception. Only fifty-five people by actual count greeted ahe over-smart assistant superintendent of colored schools last ( Sunday afternoon. Two-thirds of fifty-five were members of the Second Baptist Church, and the other one-third consisted of Bruce's personal friends, and curiosity seekers. Rev. Johnson, when he was told by a Bee representative that the people would not go to hear Bruce, hooted at the remark and declared that his own congregation would fill the church. As a matter of fact his own congregation refused to dismiss prayer meeting in the upper auditorium of the church at the time the exercises were being held in the lecture room where Bruce was speaking. About the time the speaker was saying that he could do no wrong because of his ancestry, a sister in the upper portion of the church gave one loud thump, as if to say, he did not know his ancestry as well as The Bee. It was a tame address, and the fifty-five people who greeted him hardly appreciated the talk. The only teacher present was Miss Madrie, who went there particularly to distribute tickets for the Bethel Literary. Rev. Johnson, who presided, did all the applauding. He seemed to applaud when there was no necessity for it. At any rate it all come from the presiding officer. Tomorrow William E. Chancellor,who said the Negro schools were a bar to the white schools, will read. If the Negro has any sense he will remain away and give him a similar reception. Rev. Johnson may believe that he has convince him otherwise. If Chancellor magnetism in his body that will draw, but the colored people of this city will gets any kind of crowd it will be from the Second Baptist. The representative colored people will not go to hear Chancellor. AN APPEAL TO CONGRESS. At a meeting of the Personal Liberty League the following resolution was adopted: We, the members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League, representing over six hundred thousand voters in the United States, and a membership of over five thousand in the District of Columbia, who have always had the interest of the business men at heart, do most earnestly appeal to the members of the Sixtieth Congress, and ask that you give your hearty co-operation and support against any legislation that may be attempted during the session of the Sixtieth Congress that has a tendency to take from the citizens of the District of Columbia their personal liberty. We believe that prohibition is detrimental to any city, or State, as it has been proven in the following States: Maine, Kansas, Iowa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and other States. In the above named States, where the so-called prohibitory laws have been in existence, it is a well-known fact that there has been a continuous illegal sale of beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages; and that, instead of the prohibition law suppressing intemperance, as it is supposed to do, it has increased the number of speak-easies and unlicensed bars in these States. We believe that the saloonkeepers and liquor dealers should have the same protection as other business enterprises. and it is a well-known fact that they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes annually in taxes and licenses for the support of our municipalities. And, n conclusion, we again appeal to you, and ask that you give this your most careful consideration. Very respectfully yours. By order of the N. C. L. L. H. C. Hawkins, president. James Edwards vice president. L. A. Wiles, secretary. P. C. Hall, corresponding secretary. S. Johnson, treasurer. W. F. Everett, chairman Executive Committee. C. S. Cushingberry, Mon. Chaplain C. Vessels, sergeant-at-arma. Charles C. Curtis. FLOODS. It is a modern miracle to have floods begin so early in the season, and yet this is just what is occurring in the District of Columbia, for the schools are being flooded with meetings, and by books written by the friends of a certain official. DEATH: OF THOMAS COX.

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

German Apple Cake Can Always Be Counted On—Directions for Serving Junket—Making Pies With Sour Cream. German apple cake makes a good dessert now. Without any sprinkling of currants it is quite as attractive. Serve best for cinnamon bun. Use either cream or hard sauce with it, or none at all. Cream cheese accords with it. Junket may not be turned out in shape. It must be set in cups in which it is to be served, or else helped from one large dish with a spoon. It is nice plain, or with cream. If desired more elaborate, then make it in individual cups of pretty glass or china, and at the last place a little mound of whipped cream upon each, surmounted by a cherry or piece of jelly of a bright color. Junket with ginger bread makes a good home dessert. Those who like nutmeg—and it is recommended for some invalids—use freshly grated nutmeg on it. Sour cream may be used for ples—just sour cream, not thick clabber, is meant. The clove used for spicing it makes it unlike cheesecake pie. For a cupful of the sour cream allow the beaten volks of four eggs, a cupful of sugar and one cupful of chopped seeded raisins and a half teaspoonful of ground cloves. Cook this like a custard over water until thickened. Have a freshly lower shell of crust baked to receive 't, and make a meringue from the whites of four eggs and a little sugar. Brown in the oven very lightly as usual. Instead of trying to see how smooth the meringue can be made, leave it tossed into hillocks, or drawn around in swirling lines, more or less parallel with the crust edge. This crust should be indented and rather high, to support the filling and meringue. Pumpkin Fruit Basket Cut a good sized pumpkin in the form of a basket, with a handle. Remove the contents and line with white tissue paper. Fill with yellow fruits—oranges, apples, bananas and grapes—leasing the grapes fall gracefully over the side. Tie a huge bow of yellow tarlton ribbon (the kind used by the florists) on the handle. Place on a dolly in the center of the table. For each guest make a pumpkin blossom. Buy paper cases at the confectioners and cut petals from pumpkin colored tissue paper, crinkle with a sharp knife. Begin at the top, paste four rows around the outside and green at the bottom. Place beside each place, to be filled with salted nuts or ice cream. Oyster Soup. One-half gallon of water and one quart of oysters will make three quarts of soup. Put cold water in the soup kettle, season with salt and serve when the water comes to a boll. If desired rich add a pint of milk and as soon as boiling point is reached turn in the oysters. When it bolls up once serve. Do not let boll after the oysters are in as it makes them tough, season with pepper. For an invalid, when but little nourishment can be taken at a time, use milk, a tiny bit of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Bring the milk quickly to boiling point, turn in the oysters, cover closely, place over a brisk fire and as soon as the oysters raise to the top serve at once with dry toast. Sea Foam Fudge. Two cups of light brown sugar, one cup of water, the white of one egg, flavoring to taste. Boll the sugar and water until it will mold, but not until it is brittle and yet not as soft as for ordinary fudge. Have the white of an egg beaten stiff and pour in the syrup slowly, beating constantly with a patent egg beater. Drop on pans from the point of a spoon, giving a polished appearance to the top of each of the candies. Scotch Apple Tart. Peel and core a half dozen tart apples and place in a crock in a slow oven, adding neither water nor sugar. When tender mix in Sultana raisins, allowing a quarter of a pound to each pound of apples. Turn into a deep baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon; cover with a top crust, pricking well to allow for the escape of steam, and bake in a quick oven. Serve with milk. Cleaning Brass. To clean chased brass trays wash the tray with soap and hot water and dry it thoroughly. Cut a lemon in half and with it rub the brass till clean. Then ribse in warm water, dry and polish with a wash-leather. The same treatment is right for brass bowls and other ornaments which are now so popular with artistic folk. Onion Souffle. Chop two large onions into fine pieces and soak one-half cup bread crumbs in one-half cup milk. Mix the two and beat well, then stir in the yolk of an egg, beaten very light, and the whites of two eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Put this mixture into a deep dish, grate cheese over the top, and bake for twenty minutes. Uses for Soda. In mixing a cake a pinch of soda, when baking powder is used, improves the texture of cake. A pinch of soda added before the upper crust is placed on berry pies will prevent them from running over. By This Method Tinted Ones Will Not Be Harmed. Soiled sofa pillow covers are among the most disgusting of house furnishings. They certainly cannot be either decorative or useful. It is a simple matter to do up washable sofa pillow tops, but one hesitates before attempting to clean the tinted ones. However, they may be done up several times if the following method is used: Make a suds of tepid, not hot, water, and wash the cover rapidly by squeezing in the hands. Rinse in tepid water and shake in the air until partly dry. Place face down on a pad, cover with a thin, smooth piece of cotton cloth, and iron rapidly with a hot iron until perfectly dry. If there are no grease spots or stains it may be dry-cleaned by ripping it apart, placing it right side up on a board, fastening it with thumb screws, and rubbing the surface with kneaded rubber until the cover is perfectly clean. When cleaning the embroidery be very careful to move the rubber in the same direction as the stitches. A five-cent rubber will be large enough. ONE WAY TO MEND CURTAINS. Treatment That Will Make Them Appear Like New. These curtains were of plain net with border on one side and bottom, and this one pair had broken in holes through the border for about a foot above the window sill, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. I cut the border off clear across the bottom, carefully following the curves in the design, then, noticing the figure at the edge of the curtain, raised the border till it overlapped a corresponding figure in the side border, which, in this case, occurred at such a distance as to remove all the worn part. Then, with curtain still hanging at the window to insure proper adjustment, fasten border across with pins, remove from curtain pole, lay on flat surface, and paste carefully. Stitch twice on machine, having tension loose enough not to draw the net, and using care-in turning corners, raising the presser foot often. Remove and cut away the old part underneath, and press thoroughly. I then let down the extra length which had been turned over at the top and rehung them and the mending does not show at all. My curtains are like new and still hang within three inches of the floor. Mexican Salad. Cut cold boiled ham, cooked chicken and cold boiled potatoes into fine shreds or Juliennes. Take a cup of each and mix with a tablespoonful and a half of olive oil, a scant tablespoonful of vinegar, a teaspoonful of grated onion, also paprika and salt as needed. When thoroughly mixed set aside to become cold and seasoned. In the meantime make ready a cup of shredded celery and one-third of a cup of sweet red pepper. When ready to serve mix the celery, pepper and seasoned ingredients with enough mayonnaise dressing to hold them together. Turn them onto a bed of lettuce leaves. Garnish with quarters of hard-boiled eggs and chopped whites and sifted yolk of egg.—Miss Hill in Boston Cooking School, May 1. Clear Lemon Pie. Dissolve three tablespoonfuls of corn starch and stir in one and a half pints of boiling water until it thickens. Just before setting this aside to cool add a dessertspoonful of butter. Grate the rinds and squeeze the juice of two lemons, stir with this one and one-half cupfuls of sugar. Before the corn starch is entirely cold, add lemon and sugar. Line two pike plates with pastry, stick with a fork to prevent rising unevenly and bake. Fill with the lemon mixture and return to the oven until thoroughly heated; spread with a meringue made of the whites of three eggs and sweetened. Brown lightly. Serve cold. Oysters in Jelly Are Delicious. It is essential in modern cookery that the food please the eye as well as the palate, says the September Dellineator. A dalty suggestion to this point was furnished at one of the late spring banquets, when each guest was served with an individual mold of aspic, in the center of which there were several appetizing-looking oysters. The molds were of different shapes, and were served on beds of watercress, while the aspic had been generously flavored with lemon juice. The combination, therefore, was as tasty as it was attractive. Apple Indian Pudding. Two quarts of milk, put one in double boiler, one cup of corn meal, one-half cup flour. When the milk begins to boil, when all thickened, take off, put in a large baking dish, add one cup of molasses, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one-half nutmeg, one teaspoon salt, one egg, the other quart of milk. Pour in large sweet apples, chopped fine, cooked with one cup of water; at the same time you put on the milk. Now add all together and bake slowly about three hours and serve with whipped cream. Pumpkin Filling. Peel and cut the pumpkin into bits, put it over the fire, and stew as for pie. When soft strain through a colander, return to the fire, boil hard, and pour into heated cans, filling each to overflowing with the liquid. Stand upside down for two hours.

Boll four minutes, put into pudding pan. Put two slices bread on top, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, then a little melted butter over the cheese. Put in oven let it brown, serve with a little parmesan cheese in separate dish. Fine. It must be served in dish it is baked in. Parmesan cheese comes in bottles all grated. Parsnip Stew. Allow for one pound of fresh parsnips one-pound fat salt pork and one pound potatoes. Chop the pork fine, pare the potatoes and slice thin; scrape the parsnips and cut in thin slices. Put a layer of pork in a stew pan, then, one of parsnips. Repeat with pork, potatoes and parsnips until all have been used. Cover with cold water, season with salt, pepper and celery salt, thicken with a little Boston cracker rolled fine and set on the back of the stove where it can cook gently for three-quarters of an hour. Tempering Flatirons The first right of a new flatiron is to be well tempered. To do this it should be allowed to heat gradually, and stay hot for several hours in succession without use, then it should gradually cool and be set aside. After this it should be allowed to heat only when wanted for use. The habit which some housewives have of "putting on the fats," at all times, jest perchance they should need them, will eventually spoil the temper of the best-tempered flatiron in existence.—Harper's Bazar. To`Press a Coat. All pressing should be done on the wrong side, except the last or finished pressing. Turn the collar up, dampen and stretch. Hold up one end and press it the form of a loop, so as to keep the round effect. Dampen the revers on the padded side along the fold and press until dry. In pressing the sleeves, the shoulders should be placed over a pad. Then the entire coat should be pressed on the right side, using a wet cloth and a hot iron to give a finish.

BETTER PROTECTION FOR NEGRO LABORING PEOPLE Every negro man and woman who reads this piece, should acquaint themselves with the principles of the I. L. U. Grand Lodge man who reads themselves with U. Grand Lodge of Dayton, Ohio, and John it at once. ```markdown ``` There is no other Lodge in the world like it. 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 protecting banner. W. G. CRITCHLOW, is allowed Grand President and Founder under its protec- tion banner. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge was established May 1, 1802, and since then has start- ed over 440 Subordinate I. L. U. Lodges and initiated over 41,142 I. L. U. members; it has also accepted over 640 I. L. U. Mem- bers-based attached to the I. L. U. Grand Lodge roster. This Order holds a legal International Charter from Ohio, which grants it the power to aid 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 each Subordinate Lodge does everything within their power to advance the conditions of the negro laboring men and women; they teach them to be true, honest and faithful; to be law abiding citizens; to do their 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 the right to learn a trade and work at 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 I. 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 I. L. U. are not allowed to suffer from want, for they are voluntarily THE I. L. U. GRAND LODGE assisted when in distress. 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 the same to each female member when her husband dies, to give $5.00 when 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 sick and accident fund, out of which they give each member from $5.00 to $5.00 per week when sick or disabled. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge does not boast about what it does in voluntarily assisting distressed members, but the I. L. 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 15 page monthly publication of great interest to our people. An I. L. U. Membership Book will be recognized and accepted by any I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge in the world. Each I. L. U. member has the privilege 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. Any honorable negro man or woman who lives where no I. L. U. Subordinate 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 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. U. Grand Lodge. If you meet with success in your home locality, you will stand in line for a steady travelling position with a good salary 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. L. L. U. Bldg., Dayton, O.
