VOL.27 NO. 26 HON. BRAINARD H. WARNER, OF MARYLAND ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR CONGRESS While for May Years a Business Man of Washington, His Legal Residence is in Maryland. Mr. Brainard H. Warner was born in Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, and came to Washington in 1863, and, for the first three months after his arrival, was clerk in the Judiciary Square Hospital, when he was promoted to a clerkship in the War Department, where he remained until the latter part of 1866. when he was appointed to a position in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury. At the same time he was private secretary for Hon. Charless R. Buckalow, who was then a prominent Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania. In the latter part of 1867 he was made Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue of the Ninth District of Pennsylvania, with headquarters at Lancaster, where he also continued his law studies with Hon Thaddeus Stevens, then a Republican member of Congress from that district. He started a paper, while in this position, called "The Voice of Truth," and also aided in publishing "The Father Abraham," a picturesque campaign journal using the Dutch dialect. In 1868 he resigned for the purpose of completing his course at the Columbia College Law School in Washington, and after making a tour through the West, as correspondent for "The Harrisburg Telegraph," entered the school and graduated a year later. He was reappointed to his old position in the Treasury Department, but in a few months, upon his graduation, he entered upon the practice of law. Better opportunities seemed to offer in the real estate business, for which he relinquished the law, and for many years has been prominent in every movement looking to the development of the National Capital. He was a member of the committee of one hundred to whose labors is largely attributable the present form of government of the Dis- MR B H WARNER, Candidate for Congress from the Sixth Maryland District. trict of Columbia. He has also been connected with some of the leading banks, institutions and companies in the District of Columbia and Maryland, among them the following: A charter member of the MetropolisSavings Bank, Central National Bank, and Second National Bank, a director of the National Metropolitan Bank, and National Safe Deposit and Trust Company, and the founder of the B. H. Warner Company, the Rudolph West Company, the Columbia National Bank, and the Washington Loan and Trust Company. He was president of the two latter-named institutions until pressure of business led to his retirement, and ever since he has been a member of their boards of directors and executive committees. One of the founders of the Washington Public Library, and vice president from its incorporation; member of the board of trustees of the American University, and trustee of Howard University, and president of the Alumni Association, George Washington University; one of the founders of the Washington Board of Trade and its second vice president; member of the Chamber of Commerce; president of the Young Men's Christian Association, and a member of the various Inaugural Executive Committees since 1870. During the last three inaugurations he was Grand Marshal of the Division of civic organizations. Mr. Warner was president of the National Philharmonic Society and the secretary of the Yellow Fever Aid Society; president of the Sound Money Club during the campaign of 1896, dedicating his entire office force for several months to the work of that campaign. He was treasurer of the Inaugural Committee when General THE BEE WASHINGTON Harrison became President; president of the Kensington Electric Railway, and one of the builders of the Baltimore Line and Eckington Railways. He has also served upon hundreds of committees and delegations. He was, for many years, president of the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital, and under his administration the building it now occupies was erected; and since president of the Industrial Home School. He served as a member of the board of directors of the American Surety Company of New York. He is now president of the Presbyterian Allianse; president of the Presbyterian Home of the District of Columbia; trustees of the Reform School; trustee of the Church of the Covenant; and has been chairman of the Board of Trustees of National Park Seminary at Forest Glen, Maryland, since its foundation. He was the first Worshipful Master of Kensington Lodge, F. and A. M.; a member of Lafayette Chapter and DeMolay Commandery, and Almas Temple. For more than twenty years he has been interested in Maryland politics and a prominent member of the Republican party, whose interest he has advanced by active participation in campaigns in different sections of the State. He was proprietor of the Montgomery Press for several years, and also president of the Maryland Editorial Association. He was also one of the original proprietors and developers of Takoma Park, Woodside, Forest Glen, Hyattsville, and several other suburbs and secretary of the committee of five on the Rock Creek Park. In 1891 he founded the town of Kensington, Montgomery county, which very largely through his instrumentality has grown to be an attractive suburb of the National Capital. Here he built an attractive house, where he has since resided, and here he built the Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church, in memory of his father, and also the Noyes Library, which he presented to the town. He is a member of the Bar of Montgomery-county; of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, and of the several courts of the District of Columbia. The degree of LL.D. was conferred upon Mr. Warner by Eskins College, South Carolina. Mr. Warner is a member of Burnside Post, Grand Army of the Republic; a member of the Republican Club of New York, and an honorary member of the American Club of Pittsburg; was one of the vice presidents of the League of Republican Clubs. He was a warm, personal friend of the late President McKinley, and is an ardent admirer of President Roosevelt and his policies. In politics he is a thorough Republican. "though not an intense partisan." He has been frequently mentioned for Congress in the Sixth District of Maryland but thus far has preferred business to politics. Now that he has retired from active participation in business he has, at the suggestion of many friends, announced himself as a candidate for Congressional honors. The foregoing sketch has been prepared by his campaign committee, to better acquaint the voters of the Sixth District of Maryland with the unusually active career of Mr. Warner and the large experience he has had in many lines of business and professional life. While he has been successful in business he has for many years given a large part of his time to the service of the public. BAD' METHODS REBUKED. Judge Alexander R. Mullowney, in the District Branch of the Police Court last Thursday gave a stinging rebuke to certain officers of the police for the reprehensible methods that were resorted in making a whiskey case. The evidence showed that these whiskey cases were made by two or three stool pigeons, with no corroborative testimony, and Judge Mullowney scored the officers for resorting to such methods in making whiskey prosecutions. The cases were party heard, or rather the disorderly house case was partly heard in the United States branch of the Police Court. and dismissed, and when Judge Mullowney was informed of the fact and when the same defendants were brought before him he very promptly dismissed them and said that he would not encourage officers when they fail to make cases in one court to bring them to another court.

WILBUR PATTERSON THIRKIELD, D.D., LLD., THE NEWLY INSTALLED PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Bruce's Impudence Bruce's Impudence WHAT WE INTEND TO DO. In speaking to a representative colored citizen a few days ago Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the irresponsible assistant superintendent of colored schools among other things, said: "You know," said Bruce, "it takes brave men to do what Dr. Chancellor and I intend to do. We have the entire Board of Education behind us, you know, and while it may create a stir, it must be done." If this is not gall, what do you call it? Now this schoolboy, who has not relieved himself of the fur that comes on a young chicken after it is out of a shell, is a little too previous. The Bee is of the opinion that the reforms he had in mind were the removal of himself and Chancellor. Dr. Chancellor and his man Friday will be given an opportunity to look at the reforms that will be made by the DR. WILBUR PATTERSON THIRK STALLED PRESIDENT OF HO new usperintendent. If Professor Du Bois does not succeed Bruce, Prof. Hugh M. Brown, exsuperintendent George F. T. Cook will be urged. ITEMS ON THE WING.

DISTINGUISHED MEN PRESENT Mr. Carnegie's Great Speech, and Mr. Bryce's Greeting. - The President Speaks; Also, Commissioner Macfarland.-Timely Remarks. Friday afternoon, November 15th, the chapel of Howard University was taxed to its utmost capacity. Hundreds were turned away. The great central figure was President Thirkield, President Roosevelt Ambassador Bye and Andrew Carnegie. The best and most timely speeches were by Mr. Carnegie and Ambassador Bryce. At the Congregational Church in the evening one of the most Commissioner Macfarland His remarks interesting speakers of the evening was were timely and to the point. Below is a full report of the entire fortieth anniversary celebration of Howard University: Rev. Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield was on Friday, the 15th instant, installed KIELD, D.D., LL.D., THE NEWLY IN- WARD UNIVERSITY. as president of Howard University. The exercises were held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, on the university campus, and picturesqueness was lent to the occasion by the multitude of academic robes and the red, green, and purple hoods of honorary college degrees. The installation took place amid a distinguished gathering, which included Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States; James Bryce,British Ambassador; Andrew Carnegie, Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, Bishop of Washington; James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior; Dr. Elmer E. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education;Rev. Dr. William Ingraham Haven, of New York; District Commissioner Macfarland, many prominent members of the alumni of the institution, and representatives from more than forty other universities and schools of higher education. As the long academic procession of men distinguished in scholarship, science the various professions, and the affairs of the world, marched from the office of the president of the university to the ivy-clad chapel nearby, it formed a galaxy of rich color and a picture of impressive solemnity which marked the importance of the occasion. Mr. Roosevelt's Welcome. The large chapel hall and the spacious platform were well filled with distinguished guests of the university when President Roosevelt, accompanied by Andrew Carnegie, arrived. The presence of the President was looked for, that of the multimillionaire philanthropist was unexpected. The President was greeted with prolonged applause, and Mr. Carnegie also came in for a share of the hearty welcome which manifested itself in the waving of handkerchiefs as well as in the clapping of hands. The principal address of the afternoon was delivered by President Roosevelt. Mr. Carnegie's name did not appear on the programme, but his unexpected arrival was made the occasion of calling on him for a speech. Ambassador Bryce, Secretary Garfield, Commissioner of Education Brown, and Rev. Dr. John W. E. Bowen, president of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., were the other speakers. The inaugural address of Dr. Thirkield, in which he spoke of the aims and ideals of modern education and of the place and mission of Howard University in the higher life of a race, was the last. All the speakers emphasized the remarkable progress which the colored race has made in the forty years since it has enjoyed freedom.President Roosevelt pointed to the material gain which has been achieved by the race, a gain which he declared to be an indispensable step, and a long one, in building the colored race problem. He said that structure of a higher life, which must have as a basis some material foundation. He said that he knew of no men from any college in the country who have heavier burdens to bear than the graduates of Howard University. He urged them to bear these buoyantly and bravely. He spoke of the responsibility which they owe to their race throughout the country, and advised them strongly not to remain in Washington after graduation to secure a government position, but to go out into the small places,where their efforts will tell for the good of their race. Mr. Roosevelt spoke in particular of the excellent work which has been accomplished by the theological and medical graduates of the university, and said that the same applies to all the other departments of the institution. President Roosevelt's Address. President Roosevelt said in ocea President Roosevelt said, in part: "During forty years, practically during the time that has elapsed since the emancipation proclamation, the colored citizens of the United States have accumulated property, until now they have some $350,000,000 worth of taxable property in this country. During the same forty years they have been making for themselves homes, until now there are 500,000 homes owned and occupied by the colored citizens of our country. When a man and woman grow to acquire a certain amount of property, above all when they grow to own and occupy their own home, it is proof positive that they have made long strides forward along the path of good citizenship. The material basis is not everything, but it is an indispensable prerequisite to moving upward in the life of decent citizenship; and the colored man when he acquires property acquires a home has taken that indispensable first step and a long long step. Many Difficulties to Face. "Every graduate of an institution of learning who goes out into the world has many difficulties to face. Few have more difficulties to face than those who graduate from this institution. You, graduates, know how much of hardship you had to encounter, how much you have had to draw upon all of the courage, and faith, and resolution, and good temper that you had in you. I trust that each one of you here will realize the peculiar burden of responsibility that rests upon him, not only as an educated American citizen, but as an educated member of a race that is struggling upward toward higher and better things. The esteem that your fellow-citizens bear you; the way that they look upon you; the way in which they feel about the effects of education as it shows itself in you, will in a large degree measure their belief in and regard for the colored race. You bear a great burden of responsibility upon your shoulders. I trust you will realize it, and that help will be given to you from on high to bear it well and worthily. I know of no men graduating from any college in the United States who have a heavier load of responsibility than you bear, and, after all, there is no greater privilege given to any man than to have such a load to carry, if only he carries it well. Advice to Ministers. "A minister needs to remember more than anyone else the truth of the Biblical saying 'By your fruits shall men know you.' A minister needs to feel that it is incumbent upon him not merely to preach a high and yet a sane morality, but to see that his life bears out his preaching in every minute detail. His position is one of peculiar leadership, and therefore a peculiar weight of obligation attaches to it. Nothing can be more important for any people, or any race, than to have those members of that people or race who follow the profession of the ministry so conduct themselves as to be a source of inspiration to their own flocks, and at the same time to win from the outside world a respect and esteem the effects of which will be felt not only by them, but by all their people. Important though it is that there should be a high standard of Continued on Page 4 Chancellor's Charges DR. CHANCELLOR TO BE TRIED A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. THE CHARGES. 1. Incompetency and inefficiency. 2. Insubordination. 3. Opposing and antagonizing the Board of Education. 4. Conduct unbecoming a Superintendent. THE TRIAL. Place—At the Franklin School Building. Time—3 P. M., Saturday afternoon, November 23. Attorney for the Board—Stuart McNamara. Attorney for Chancellor—Creed M. Fulton, of Peckie, Fulton & Cox. On charges attacking his personal honor and alleging his temperamental unfitness for his position, Superintendent of Schools William E. Chancellor will be called to face the trial bar of the Board of Education at 3 o'clock this afternoon, where he will be given his last chance to prevent his dismissal as superintendent. Stuart McNama'a, attorney for the board, who prepared the charges against Dr. Chancellor, said this morning: "If the superintendent does not appear in person at the trial the charges will be read, and his dismissal will follow." Dr. Chancellor, who, with his wife, had a long conference this morning with his lawyers, Leckie, Fulton & Cox, refused to say whether he would appear in person for the trial next Saturday. The charges, which are now being served on the Superintendent, allege against Dr. Chancellor, "incompetency and inefficiency," "insubordination," "opposing and antagonizing the Board of Education," and "conduct unbecoming a superintendent." They are as follows: "To William E. Chancellor, Superintendent of the Public Schools: "You are hereby charged, under the following specifications, with the certain offenses therein named. rendering you subject to removal and dismissal from the office of Superintendent of Public School of the District of Columbia, on the grounds thereof as adequate cause affecting your efficiency as such superintendent. "Specification 1 — Incompetency and inefficiency as superintendent—In that said William E. Chancellor, superintendent, is inefficient and incompetent to properly discharge the duties of Superintendent of Public Schools of the District of Columbia by reason of his temperamental unfitness, his lack of judgment and tact, his extreme excitability and contentiousness, his evasiveness and unreliability of utterance, his tendency to publicly denounce the School Board," its members and public officials of the District of Columbia, his lack of mental poise, and his uncontrollable flightiness, whereby he has brought about mismanagement and maladministration in the discharge of his duties as superintendent in the school system of the District of Columbia, and rendering himself inefficient, incompetent and disqualified to properly discharge the duties of superintendent. "In that said Superintendent Chancellor, by reason of the matter stated in the first paragraph of this specification and of those hereafter stated in this and the other specifications, has destroyed all confidence in him and gained antagonism of the Board of Education, of officers, teachers, pupils and the community of the District of Columbia, and is thereby unable to carry his measures or to efficiently discharge his duties as superintendent, and rendering his separation from the school system imperative, as advanced by 'Chancellor on Our Schools.' etc, page 395: "When he has aroused such serious and extensive personal antagonism in the board and in the community as to be unable to carry his feasures." "In that the said William E. Chancellor, superintendent, about September 1906, originated and superintended the organization of an advisory committee for alleged educational purposes and to whom the said Chancellor attempted to delegate duties and powers properly disagreeable by him, and that after the dissolution of the said advisory committee in June, 1907, after investigation by the Board of Education, the said Superintendent Chancellor denied to the Board of Education any knowledge of or part in the organization of the said advisory committee. "In that the said SuperintendentChancellor has by the terms of his order issued October 8, 1907, needlessly and wastefully caused to be discarded about --- AT DEATH OF LINCOLN CAPT. GATCH PROBABLY LAST SURVIVOR OF WITNESSES. Saw Assassin Jump from Box After Fatal Shot, Then Helped Carry President to House Across Street. Aurora, Ind.—In a pretty hillside farmhouse two or three miles west of this place, in a hale, old age—only slightly crippled occasionally with rheumatism—lives Capt. O. C. Gatch, an army pensioner who is probably the last person surviving who was present at the deathbed of President Lincoln. Capt. Gatch was present at the battle of Chickamauga, where he was captured and taken to Libby prison at Richmond. After seven months' imprisonment there he was removed to Davenport, V., thence to Macon, Ga., thence to Columbia, S. C., and finally to Charlotte, N. C., where early in the spring of 1865 he escaped, crossing the country afoot to Knoxville, Tenn., where Gen. Stoneman, in command there, furnished him transportation to Washington by way of Milford, O., his home. At Milford he found his brother, Dr. Charles Gatch, who had meanwhile served as a surgeon in Rosecrans' division of Sherman's army, but had then retired and returned to Ohio. Capt. Gatch, accompanied by his brother, in a few days started to Washington, reaching the capital on the morning of April 14, 1865—the day made so sadly memorable in American history. Together the brothers stopped at one of the smaller hotels and, after looking about the city, which was new to them, they concluded to attend the theater—"Ford's theater," where Laura Keene was to play that evening in W. H. CAPTAIN OCCATCH. Boucault's humorous comedy, "Our American Cousin." They went early, securing seats in the dress circle, only a few feet from the doors of the private box assigned to the president. They had not been there long when President Lincoln and his party, including Mrs. Lincoln, a Miss Harris and Maj. Rathbone came in. Mr. Lincoln was received with warm and enthusiastic cheers. The play began, and the young soldier, with his brother, enjoyed its humor immensely. Presently he heard the report of a pistol; there was an outcry and a struggle in the president's box; then, suddenly Capt. Gatch and his brother saw a man spring from the front of the box—his foot becoming slightly entangled in an American flag—down upon the stage 14 feet below, falling on his left side, but recovering, himself in a moment; then running to the central door behind the stage "Excited crowds during those war times were familiar sights," Capt. Gatch said, "but I never wiltened such a scene as was now presented. Nobody, for a time, knew really what had happened. Access to the box was guarded by a soldier. He recognized him as a union soldier—my brother did not then wear his uniform—came to me, whispered to me that the president had been shot, and requested me to come into the box, where my help might be required. Accompanying him, I found the president lying back with his head across the top of his chair, his coat, waistcoat and shirt bosom opened by Maj. Rathbone, apparently looking for his wound. Maj. Rathbone asked me if I knew of a physician or surgeon near hand. I told him my brother was with me, and was an excellent private an army surgeon. "Bring him in then," he said, and I at once wore and brought in my brother, who had remained of course arriving. he intimated quietly to MaJ. Rathbone that the president was in effect blind, and suggested that the dying man should be removed from the theater. Arrangements, were immediate to receive him at the house of a family named Smith, who lived just opposite. MaJ. Rathbone, the knight my brother and myself then lived and carried him down through the front entrance to the theater into and across the street, where he was living in the bed prepared for him there. In Barnes, the president's physician had meanwhile been summoned, and was also soon there. My brother and I remained at the president's bedside or in the room, all night, until he died." EXPLORER TO USE POLAR BEARS. Capt. Amundsen Will Endeavor to Reach Pole with Them. New York—That he would try for the north pole in 1910, with polar bears to draw his cledges on the final dash, was stated by Capt. Roald Amundsen, navigator of the northwest passage and discoverer of the north magnetic pole, who recently arrived here from Christiana. Capt. Amundsen, who traveled to the Pacific in the Gloa, a 49-ton sloop, says that he will set apart five years in which to complete his voyage to the pole, for in his opinion it can be done in no shorter time. "The route by the way of the Behring sea is the only one, and it is A. CAPT. ROALD AMUNDSEN. my purpose to take the advantage of the Japan current, which goes north, and drift with it until the ice comes each winter. I believe that is the way I will be brought to an approximately short distance from the pole. "Then, as to the bears. It is no idle talk, and Carl Hagenbeck, in Hamburg, will deliver them broken to harness to draw sledges. Polar bears are not as ferocious as many persons believe, and one bear would do the work of many-dogs. Constitutionally they are better fitted to travel over the ice than any dog. Their food would be seal meat, and four bears will be sufficient to furnish the transportation required. Bears have greater endurance than dogs, and I believe that Mr. Hagenbeck will do as he agrees as to their training." REPLICA OF THE SPHINX. Work of an American Woman Bought for a Chicago Museum. London.—A remarkable work by an American woman sculptor, who is now resident in Paris, has been bought for presentation to the Field Columbian museum in Chicago by W. N. McMillen, the well-known American traveler and explorer. The work is a plaster replica of the sphinx, made to scale, and the artist is Mrs. David Garrick Longworth, who was before her marriage Miss Beatrice Willis. Mrs. Longworth was a Chicago girl and received first lessons in sculpture in Chicago's art schools. Mrs. Longworth's sphinx is ten feet long and three feet high. She spent three years on the work while she and her husband were living in Calro, where Mr. Longworth was the editor and publisher of The Sphinx, a newspaper devoted to travel and society news. Every detail of the reproduct Sphinx WORK OF AN AMERICAN WOMAN. tion is in exact proportion and Mrs. Longworth has climbed all over the great Egyptian monument making measurements. She is probably the only woman who has ever been on the head of the sphinx. The statue was exhibited at the Paris salon in 1903. A billygoat climbed a tall fir tree at Hood River, on the ranch of Frank Chandler. The witness is Hans Lage. while on his way to the city, Lage discovered one of Mr. Chandler's acrobatic billy goats up 50 feet in a large fir tree, browsing as contentedly as if swiping sweet peas through a neighbor's picket fence—Hood River (Ore.) News-Letter. Colonel—Ah, my boy, that faithful old horse there was the means of saving my life when we were at Splon Kop. Friend—Really, colonel! Colonel—Yes; he kicked me in the littlemary, so that I couldn't fight, and the other chaps got shot while I was in the hospital. SOLDIERS OF EUROPE COMPARISON OF FRENCH AND GERMAN MILITARY METHOD8. Paris—Having had the privilege of witnessing, at 48 hours' interval, the grand maneuvers of the French and German armies, some comparison of their methods and the qualities and defects of the troops as they strike the spectator may be of interest. I could but sum this up by saying that it is a case of French mobility against German method. The French are a warlike race, who delight in military action for its own sake. The whole people takes delight in the pomp and circumstance of military parade. They love the "panache" and all that goes with it. The Germans are the greatest military power in the world, but the German is not warlike. He has the highest sense of duty of any soldier in Europe, and that replaces in him the inborn fighting spirit of the Latin race. The French infantry soldier is probably near the ideal soldier as one can find. He has a cheerfulness under difficulties and an endless, amount of resource. But it is his extraordinary marching powers that astound the spectator. A French regiment covers the ground at wonderful speed and never seems to tire. Fifty kilometers a day are at times covered by French infantry, and marches of 70 and more kilometers are occasionally done. I speak, of course, of the troops of the line. The "Chasseurs a pled," the famous "vitriers," are unique among the armies of Europe. What they can accomplish in the way of marching no other troops can pretend to equal. Three years ago, at the maneuvers at Brienne-le-Chateau, I was one day ```markdown ``` AMERICAN OFFICERS AT GERMAN MANEUVERS. watching the troops marching into the town after the day's operations. Regiment after regiment swung by looking as if they were good for another 50 kilometers, though they had been on the move for 12 long hours. In front of the marine, where the headquarters of the army was established, Gen. Brugere and Gen. Chaffee were standing with a half dozen officers of the American mission. As each regiment swung around the corner the men, as soon as they saw the American uniforms, seemed galvanized. Every man pulled himself up and stepped out to show the foreign visitors that there was still the old French spirit left. They gave the last "coup de collier" and swept past with a swing and vigor astonishing in men who all had something like 50 kilometers behind them. An army that can give this "coup de collier" for the honor of the flag has the true military spirit. The kaiser's sturdy infantry soldier is, in my opinion, wanting in this absolute pride in his profession. He tramps on mile after mile with dogged perseverance, but without the wonderful elastic, springy step of the "plouplou." But where the French soldier excels the German soldier is in his resourcefulness. He knows how to shift for himself and is full of little tricks for increasing his comfort, of which the more stolid German has no idea. For instance, the speed with which a French regiment will get its coffee ready on the maneuver ground looks sometimes like legerdemain. I have been with French troops when it has rained for three days unceasingly, and when there was not a piece of dry wood for ten kilometers round. Yet within a quarter of an hour of the bugles sounding the halt the fires were lit and the coffee boiling. Then if one gives a French soldier a piece of meat and a handful of potatoes he will turn out a "rata" which cannot be beaten anywhere. As according to the Napoleonic dictum "an army marches on its belly" this is an important trump in the hands of the French. In the matter of artillery I think there can be no two opinions. The French possess the finest artillery of any army on the continent, well horsed and well commanded. The German cavalry is excellently mounted, and the men seem thoroughly trained. The scouting and reconoltering is carried out in good style, the men moving over the country with the greatest precaution and taking advantage of every bit of cover. The horses are of good quality, and the men are good, if not of first-class order. TO WED VANDERBILT HEIRESS. Engagement of Miss Gladys to Austrian Nobleman Announced. Newport, R. I.-Following the arrival here of Count Lazze Szechenyi of Budapest, formal announcement of his engagement to Miss Gladys Moore Vanderbilt, daughter of the late Cornellus Vanderbilt, and one of the richest heiresses in the country, has been made. It is expected the wedding will take place at The Breakers some time this autumn. Count Szechenyi, whose name is pronounced Tse-chen-yee, is 28 years of age, rich, good looking and a llen- 尺 tenant in his king's imperial hussars. His father was Count Emerich Szechenyl, and had the decoration of the Order of the Golden Fleece. His mother was Countess Alexandra of Szetaray-Szirmay. Count Laszlo has three elder brothers, Counts Dionysius, Peter and Stephan, all of whom, like himself, are reserve lieutenants in the imperial hussars. The count, who is the youngest son of the late Count Emerich Szechenyl, for several years ambassador from Austra-Hungary to Germany, is rich and good-looking. He has a hereditary seat in the Hungarian parliament and is one of the chamberlains of the Austrian emperor. Miss Vanderbilt is the youngest child of the late Cornellus and Mrs. Vanderbilt, and was introduced to New York society three years ago. Since her debut she has passed considerable time each year in Europe with her mother. They went abroad the last time following a trip to California last April. They returned to New York recently, coming immediately to New; Port. Miss Vanderbilt is very popular in society. She is accomplished in music and has studied singing in Paris with Jean de Reszke. Miss Gladys is just past her twenty-first birthday, when she was allotted her share of her father's vast estate. The share amounted, it is estimated, to about $12,500,000.

Faulkner had the bell placed in the tower of a mill at Turner, Me., where it hung for more than half a century. The mill was burned two years ago and the bell was partially destroyed. At the same time Mr. Faulkner lost his life in the fire. The bell has now been recast and presented to the church at Bryant's Pond by a daughter of Mr. Faulkner. Learn to Be-Joyous. Laughter is a gift that makes man akin to the gods, that wakens the best and brightest of his nature. The art of laughter should be cultivated; in fact, all and everything that leads to joy. The wish to be happy, the love of gladness and beauty, is a thing to be desired; consequently, it is worth a little cultivation. Play is as essential a factor in men's lives as work. Philiosophers tell us that no man lives his own life until he plays. Work comes from the exigencies of life, from the "musts" of the world, which often push men along different paths to those they would choose to travel by from inclination or capacity. Play, however, is his recreation, and here at his leisure time comes out his whole soul; his power of and choice of play, his greater or lesser necessity of it, to recuperate mind and body from the strain of daily life. TO SAVE FISH SUPPLY MOVEMENT TO PROTECT IMPORTANT FOOD STAPLE. Finny Tribe in Inland Seas Has Been Steadily Depleted—Lack of Uniform Laws Said to Be the Cause. Washington.—Uncle Sam is about to inaugurate a battle to save the nation's food fish. Already he has given the subject much attention, and a department of fish hatcheries has planted in waters all over the country millions of spawn and fingerlings. But the new movement is to be much more systematic. It will make the entire problem of fish supply one for Washington to deal with. As a preliminary, every state in the union will be asked to cede its rights over the principal rivers and lakes which pass through the territory of the other states. Thus empowered the United States government will be able to enact uniform laws and have authority to compel observance of regulations that will prevent the wholesale destruction of one of the most important staples of our food. The preliminaries to the movement were arranged a short time ago at the meeting of the American Fisheries society, which met in Erie, Pa., after having made an extensive investigation of the fish problem on the Great Lakes and their tributaries. The society found that the once teeming supply of fish in the great inland sea is being steadily depleted until to-day it is not 50 per cent. of what it was. William E. Meehan, chief of the Pennsylvania department of fisheries. WILLIAM E. MEEHAN. an expert, who has made a life study of the subject, announced that at the root of the trouble lay the lack of uniform legislation. Nearly every state has some laws to protect the fish, he said, and there are also Canadian restrictions, but they are not alike. What is needed, the commissioner explained, is a conference between state, federal and Canadian authorities to map out a program that will give the fish a chance. Commissioner Meehan was authorized to present the case to President Roosevelt and to the Canadian authorities, and also to prepare for each state a draft of the bills that must be introduced into each legislature to cede control of the fish waters to Washington. It is hoped that by the time the United States and Canada have their conference on the subject Uncle Sam will have obtained from all the interested states the rights necessary to act for all. The American Fisheries society is an influential body, made up of the fish commissioners of the United States government and of the 30 states that have been attempting to deal with one of the most important problems bearing on the increasingly difficult question of food. For two years the matter of federal control has been recognized as the only solution of the great lakes fisheries question, but the present movement will carry the idea a good deal further and will give Washington authority over every considerable body of water in the country that is a supply point for fish. Minnesota and Michigan, recognizing the importance of this issue, have already ceded their rights to the United States. The Canadian minister of marine has expressed himself as eager to meet the United States government more than half way on any proposition that can be advanced for the good of the cause. In exercising authority over the fish waters the supply will be protected by the enforcement of laws as to the open and closed season, the size of fish to be caught, the size of the mesh seines, so as to let the smaller fish escape, the methods of fishing, protection of the waters from pollution and all the other advanced systems of saving the funny residents of the deep from extinction. The movement is not planned in the interest of sportsmen, nor for those who sell fish, though both will benefit largely. The sportsmen of the country will be a unit for all such regulations as are planned, for their one great idea is to see the game fish of Uncle Sam's domain protected from extinction. Couper's Status of Poet to Be Unveiled in Washington. New York—Ready for casting in bronze, a heroic statue of Henry W. Longfellow rests in the studio of the sculptor, William Couper, at 207 East Seventeenth street. It is expected that by next spring the memorial tribute will be ready for unveiling in Washington. Seven years ago the Longfellow National Memorial association was organized, with Chief Justice Fuller as president and Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt as honorary members of the board of regents. Others who have labored to make the efforts of the board successful are STATUE OF HENRY W. LONGFEL LOW. Bishop Alexander Mackay-Smith, Brainard H. Warren, Bishop Lawrence, Gov. Curtis Gulld, Dr. Edward E. Hale, Prof. Charles Ellot Norton, Col. Thomas W. Higginson, Julia Ward Howe, Henry Cabot Lodge, Andrew Carnegie and Charles W. Ellot, president of Harvard university. Congress' gave the site for the statue at the corner of Connecticut and Rhode Island avenues and contributed $1,000 for the pedestal. The remainder of the $25,000 needed was raised by popular subscription. Mr. Couper began the preliminary sketches in March of this year, and recently the judges appointed to pass on the work expressed their entire satisfaction with the clay model now on exhibition. Mr. Couper said that this was the first full length statue of Longfellow ever made. WINNER OF BALLOON RACE German Aeronaut Captures International Trophy in the "Pommern." St. Louis.—Oscar Erbsloeh, the winner of the James Gordon Bonnett trophy in the international alrship race, which started from this city recently, was born at Elberfeld, Germany, in 1879. He is a wholesale merchant, and served in a cuirassier regiment. His aeronautic experiences began in 1904. A year later he qualified as pilot in the Niederrheinscher Verein fur Luftschiffahrt, of which society he is now a director. He has made 52 free ascensions, landing in Germany, Belgium, France and Holland. In the OSCAR ERBSLOEH. Pommern, which he used in the race, he won the Brussels international competition September 15 against 22 competitors. After a voyage of 30 hours he landed at Bayonne, France, a distance of 630 miles. Did Well. Miss Eilen Terry writes of Sir Henry Irving: "When I was touring with him in America at the time when he was at the highest point of his fame I watched him one day in the train, always a delightful occupation, as his face provided many different pictures a minute, and being struck by a curious expression, half triumphant, half despairing, I asked him what he was thinking about. 'I was thinking,' he answered slowly, 'how strange it is that I should have made the reputation I have as an actor, with nothing to help me—with no equipment. My legs, my voice—everything has been against me. For an actor who can't walk, can't talk and has no face to speak of, I've done pretty well.'" Tree Planting In Scotland. A state forest demonstration area is to be established in Scotland. The government has purchased for this purpose the estate of Inverliever, in Argyllshire, owned by Col. Malcolm of Portalloch, and it is understood that the price agreed upon is less than $150,000. Consisting of about 12,350 acres, the property ex- and for nearly nine miles along the western side of Loch Awe—one of the most charming places in the Western highlands, and a favorite resor. of wealthy English tourists—and stretches across to Loch Aich. The land consists chiefly of hill pasture. At present there is practically no timber upon the estate, and a generation will elapse before there can be any crop worth marketing.

Cobb as special assistant United States Attorney is a deserving compliment to the bar of the District of Columbia. Attorney General Bonaparte recommended the appointment of Mr. Cobb. Of course, the President is responsible for it, and Prof. Booker T. Washington is indebted to the President and the President is indebted to Attorney General Bonaparte, who found it possible to make it. The Bee appreciates the appointment, and all others should who could not get it. That Attorney Cobb was successful, others who failed should congratulate him. There is no selfishness or meanness in the man. He likes to see his associates elevated. Why not appreciate his elevation? The President does some very good things occasionally, and then again he is uncertain. However, in the appointment of Attorney Cobb the administration has given recognition to a colored member of the bar in the District Attorney's Office. Ex-assistant District Attorney A. A. Birney did not wait for the recommendation from President Harrison or the Attorney General when he appointed Prof. H. H. Hart in the United States District Attorney's Office. While the appointment of Attorney Cobb is appreciated, and The Bee believes that he is a deserving young man, it is hoped that the President will make an appointment of a representative colored citizen under the District government. The bar holds Mr. Cobb in high esteem. ANOTHER FALSEHOOD. William E. Chancellor, who will be tried today by the Board of Education, stated that the Editor of The Bee, W. Calvin Chase, had threatened to break up his meeting lats Sunday at the Second Baptist Church, and that he, Chase, was present, but, owing to the presence of officers, he was prevented from doing so. Mr. Chase made no threats to break up his meeting, and neither was Mr. Chase present. Mr. Chase did not think enough of Chancellor's meeting neither to attend it nor threaten to break it up. There were present about one hundred and fifty people, and they were there not for the respect they had for the superintendent, but more out of curiosity. In the first place the Editor of The Bee believes in free speech, and he knew that Chancellor's speech would have no effect on those who heard it. The next speaker at the Second Baptist, so M. B. Johnson, its pastor, stated, would be Senator Ben Tillman, whom Johnson has invited. The Bee has since learned that Senator Tillman had declined his invitation. The pastor of the Second Baptist Church made a great effort to fill his lecture room last Sunday afternoon, but he failed. His church members failed to turn out to hear his speaker. HOWARD'S FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Dr. Thirkield, president of the Howard University, is to be congratulated. The fortieth anniversary of that institution that was so successfully carried out last week will go down in history as one of the greatest events of that institution. Dr. Thirkield was inaugurated as president of the leading national institution in the United States. He brought around him the President of the United States, the British Ambassador, Andrew Carnegie and many other distinguished men. Dr. Thirkield will succeed as president because he is honest. There is nothing hypocritical about him. He is straight forward in his dealings with men and measures. He is anxious for young colored men to succeed and for Howard University to be supported by such men who honored the institution with their presence last week. The right man is at the head of Howard University, and the Bee believes that it will be supported by the entire country because the right man is its president. A full report of the fortieth anniversary of Howard University appears in this week's issue of The Bee. THE SCHOOLS PEACE AND HARMONY Every self-respecting citizen of the District appreciates highly the effort being made by the Board of Educaton to restore peace and or- der in the Washington schools The discord of the past fifteen months has been almost unbearable in our city where the best of feeling exists between the educated people of both races. With these people the problem has been solved, for they seem to dwell together in peace without the slightest desire of coming together socially. WHY THE NEGRO IS NOT RESPECTED. It is not surprising to the intelligent people in this country why the Negro is not respected. This question is easily solved. In politics he is a nonentity. He permits his so-called Republican friends to abuse him, ignore him and discriminate against him, and then when he is needed to save the party he scrambles to the trough like hogs to slop. This is the main reason the Negro is not respected. OUR MOTHER-IN-LAW. The people of Washington think that it would be a good idea for some of these people-who are connected with the schools to move their office to that of either wife or mother-in-law since they have so much business to do for them in the schools. There are several cases on hand in the schools now, which we will refrain from mentioning, now, but will watch their progress. SENATOR FORAKER. The American people would gladly welcome the announcement of the candidacy of Senator J. B. Foraker as a presidential candidate. He is a safe man and loyal to the Constitution. He believes in manhood rights and the rights of every individual. If he is nominated he would get the entire colored vote of the country. HOWARD'S FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY Continued from Page 1. morality, a high standard of good citizenship among persons of every profession, it is most of all important that such should be the case among those who are to teach their fellows in the things of the soul. New Medicos Should Migrate. New Medicos Shigold Migrate. "I earnestly hope that the 'average graduate of your medical department will not stay around Washington; that he won't try to get into some government position; that he won't even go to some other large city. I hope he will go out and dwell among his fellow-citizens of color in their own homes, and be to them not only a healer of their bodies but a center for raising them in every part of their lives. I have been struck in traveling through the South to find how many colored doctors have gone into other business as well. Very naturally, frequently you will find that they own drug stores, and I was struck by what very nice drug stores, and how prosperous man of them have been. I was struck by the esteem in which they were held, as a rule, by all of their neighbors, and by the evident fact that each colored doctor who did his work well exercised a very perceptible influence in raising the standard of citizenship of all the colored citizens of the locality in which he resided. I do not know a more effective bit of home missionary work than is being done in this way." When the President had finished his speech, Justice Job Barnard, president of the board of trustees of the university, the presiding officer, introduced Ambassador Bryce. "It is not unfitting," said Ambassador Bryce, "that I should be present on this occasion, representing as I do a country which has many colored people within its domains. We are all fellow-workers and should be sympathetic fellow-workers in the effort to recompense the colored man for the wrongs which have been done to him by the white race since that day, nearly three hundred years ago, when the first slave ship crossed the Atlantic." Mr. Bryce declared that patience and hope are the two words which must be kept constantly in mind in working out the progress sometimes seemed to be slow, but that the upward movement of the race had been much more rapid, owing partly to the environment of an enlightened civilization — that of the Angol-Saxon race, which lived for centuries in a savage state in the wilds of Western Europe. The Ambassador expressed his belief that higher academic education as well as industrial training is needed for the colored race, so as to give the opportunity for developing the exceptional gifts which will be found thereby to be possessed by some members of the race. Loud was the applause when Justice Barnard called on the next speaker, An- drew Carnegie. Silencing the audience with a slight wave of the hand, Mr. Carnegie said that his presence seemed to him Providential, as he was totally unaware of the exercises to be held at Howard when he came to Washington. Don't Worry, Says Carnegie. "This nation never failed to solve any problem placed before it," he said, 'and it will not fail in regard to the Negro problem. In fact, most of the problems about which anxious politicians," he added, turning to President Roosevelt and bowing gracefully, worry, solve themsevles. We try to settle problems a hundred years ahead of us, and long before that time the problems are gone. This nation will be revered for solving the problem of the 'slaves that were, men that are to be.' Don't worry about the Negro." Commissioner of Education Brown spoke of the twofold nature of a university, as an institution of learning and of professional training. He declared that the best thing which science has to teach is a moral attitude toward truth, and that the best thing in professional training is likewise a moral attitude and choice. Secretary Garfield, under whose department the supervision of Howard University comes, declared that it is his desire to make closer the relation between his branch of the Federal Government and the institution of learning. He said that education has not received from the Federal Government the aid which it should have, and that the Government has in this city, with its large colored population, a great opportunity for noble work. Rev. Dr. John W. E. Bowen spoke of the necessity of the higher education for the Negro so as to give him the ability to learn to think accurately, to appreciate the value of character, and the true meaning of culture. Dr. Thirkield's Inaugural. In his inaugural address Rev. Dr. Thirkield said that Howard University opens to any man of any race the opportunity to unfold the best and divinest in him, so far as broad educational opportunity is a help to this end. "Every man has in him values above all market price," said Dr. Thirkield. "This is the Democratic ideal. Democracy bears witness to the capacity of the downmost man. There are in American history numberless examples of the fact that the common man has stored up in him uncommon powers for highest life and service to man. Lincoln, Grangand Douglass are conspicuous examples. "This is the meaning of equality—not that every man in capacity is the equal of every other man, or that there is any such thing as equality of gifts and powers, for it is a truism that 'Liberty leads to inequality based on natural differences of capacity and application among men.' It is rather that in a Democracy every man has a right to equality of opportunity, may claim equal right with every other man to a free unfoldment of all the powers and possibilities that are stored up in him; that there are diversities of gifts, but one spirit of freedom; that no artificial barrier shall be placed in the way of any man; that in civil life there shall be not a spirit of repression, but of broad and generous recognition. Howard University stands for just this. "The needs and claims of the Negro for such an education as will draw forth the entire man to his best is grounded in his humanity," he continued. "The demands of modern sociology are for 'social consciousness that shall be characterized by a threefold conviction of essential likeness of men, of the mutual influence of men, and of the value and sacredness of the person.' This means that all men should be sons of God and brothers of their fellow-men; that no race is left without witness of the divine in mental and moral capacity; that men are so bound up together that education must be for all, and that the personality of every man is sacred. "For forty years strong, brave men—men with courage equal to their lofty ideals for a race—have built their thought and life into the professional schools of Howard University. Their graduates are now constructive helpers and healers of their fellow-men. These schools were never so crowded. The call for trained men was never so urgent. The demand now is imperative for larger equipment if the urgent needs of a race are to be answered." Two Hurt by Fall. Just before President Roosevelt reached the university chapel the cement flooring of the vestibule entrance to the chapel gave way and precipitated about fifty persons to the ground, ten feet below. It was at first thought many of these had been severely injured, and several were taken to Freedmen's Hospital close by. J. W. Cromwell, teacher in a public school, sustained an abrasion of the ankle, and Thomas Auston, a student at the university, was slightly injured. A temporary plank walk was put in place before the President arrived. The fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the university was celebrated Fridav night at the First Congregational Church. "In this city, where a larger Negro population is found than in any other," said Commissioner Macfarland, "such an institution as Howard University is necessary, and recently it has rendered three public services. It has given a portion of its park for the new Freedmen's Hospital; it has raised a fund of $2,000 for the new Y. M. C. A., and it has given one of its faculty to start the new industrial school for Negro children at Blue Plains." Mr. Macfarland paid a high tribute to Howard University and its president that elicited great applause. Dr. Cornelius H. Patton, James C. Napier, Dr. George F. Miller, and Dr. Roland Cotton Smith also delivered addresses. The university choir and the university orchestra furnished music for the occasion. The benediction was pronounced by Bishop Satterlee. CHANCELLOR ON CHARGES Continued from: Page 1. fifty-four thousand text-looks. "In that the said Superintendent Chancellor, after directing the introduction of the study of geography into the 8th grade, of physiology into the seventh and eighth grades, and of writing in the eighth grade, and requiring the purchase of text-books for such studies, before the said text-books so purchased could be used, heedlessly and without judgment attempted to supersede the said studies and prevent the use of the said text-books by the introduction of the studies of Latin and German in the said grades, thereby attempting to entail a great financial loss in the disuse of of the books so purchased, and requiring the supply of books for the new studies, for which no money was appropriated by law. "In that said Superintendent Chancellor wilfully exceeded his authority in the extension of high school students to the grade schools, having applied to the Board of Education, by letter of September 8, 1907, for authority to prepare plans for the extension of such studies to eight schools, and having received such authority by order of the Board on the representation of the said Superintendent that he would submit the definite details of the proposed course at a subsequent meeting of the Board. Nevertheless, the said Superintendent, in excess of said authority and in disregard of his representations, actually put such plans into full effect in fourteen buildings, or twenty-one classes, and proposing to further extend such course to four more buildings and to the sixth grade, and thereafter at the meeting of the Board of Education on November 14, 1907, denied such course to have been in effect. Insubordination Charged. "Specification II, Insubordination. — That the said Superintendent Chancellor was guilty of insubordination in that after his having been granted leave of absence for vacation to August 15, 1907, he failed and refused to return until August 24, 1907; after being directed on August 27, 1907, to be present at the meeting of the Board of Education on August 28, 1907, the said Superintendent Chancellor left the city without a word of explanation and remained away until September 2, 1907, and thereafter represented to the Board that in his absence he was engaged in official duties with a member of the School Commission, when in fact the said Chancellor was not so engaged, but was in Cincinnati, or Chicago, or elsewhere in the West on private business. "In that the said Superintendent Chancellor refused to obey the order of the Board of Education to appear before a committee of the 'said board at a stated meeting in October, 1907, and, although having stated that he would appear pursuant to summons, afterward repudiated said statement and refused to appear, as in the following communication: "Dear Captain Oyster: "I will meet your special committee or any committee of the Board of Education, alone or in regular session, any time at any place; but I decline absolutely to appear publicly before your special committee. I decline also to put in evidence any communication received in the course of confidential business. I consider it contrary to public welfare and to my official duty to promote this attack on an excellent subordinate. I said this to you and to Mr. Cox yesterday, in substance. "Respectfully. "In that said Superintendent Chancellor was guilty of insubordination in that he advised and counselled Assistant Superintendent Bruce to disobey the order of the Board of Education directing said Bruce to appear at a meeting of its committee on October 24, 1907, although the said Chancellor well knew that said Bruce was under orders of the Board to appear at the said meeting. Accused of Falsification "Specification III, Opposing and Antagonizing the Board of Education. — In that said Superintendent in, to wit, February, 1907, contributed to and connived at the introduction and passage of a proposed law known as the 'Smith Bill,' seeking to subvert the control of the Board of Education and the enlargement of the authority of the uper- intendent, and thereafter denied to the said Board of Education that he had any part in or knew anything about the said proposed 'Smith Bill.' "In that the said Superintendent Chancellor in to wit February 1997 contributed to the publication of an article in the Educational Review." Education in the District of Columbia. Believing the educational system and conditions of the District of Columbia and thereafter at a meeting of the Board of Education on April 24, 1997, the Chancellor denied any part in the knowledge of said publication "In that said Superintendent Chancellor to the end of destroying discipline in the public schools and promoting dissatisfaction and disturbance, in the tahday of November, 1907, and at dteres other times prior to said date, has cruseled and advised Assistant Superintendent Hughes not to give any information of official or educational matters to the Board of Education, and on the said date to said Hughes, and on other dates to other persons, openly criticised, ridiculed and attempted to hinder and embarrass the said Board of Education in the exercise of its authority and discharge of its duties. Unbecoming Conduct "Specification IV-Conduct Unbecoming a Superintendent-In that said Superintendent Chancellor at divers times in the month of December, 1906, and January, 1907, to the end of creating disturbance, friction and dissatisfaction in the official relations of the Board of Education with the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, gave up to the public press abusive and contemptuous criticisms of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and of the official officers of the District, ridiculing and libeling them, and thereby by his unseemly conduct destroying the public respect necessary for his efficiency as Superintendent of the District Schools" ONLY TWO INJURED IN THE 45 TWO INJURED IN THE AC CIDENT AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Two of the persons injured by the lapse of the mosaic and cement floor of the vestibule of the Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University, recently, were taken to the Freedmen's Hospital for treatment, by William W. Wilson, ambulance surgeon. They were John Wesley Cromwell, principal of Briggs Public School, Twenty-third and Fifth, who suffered from a laceration at the left leg above the knee, and Thomas Austin, a student of Howard University, who had an abrasion of the right leg at the ankle. It was at first believed that his leg had been fractured. The accident occurred about 22 pm ten minutes before the arrival of President Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The church was well filled with people at the time the heavy flooring gave way precipitating between a fifty and one hundred persons into a pit fully twelve feet deep, and that a parce was averted in the edifice is said due to the coolness of certain officers of the university. The police, under the command of Captain Eller, handled the situation with tact, and speedily extricated the men and women from the cellar. Among those who went down with the stone floor were Re John Van Schaick, Jr., Prof J. J. Chatering, Dr. Ada R. Thomas, and a porthwell-dressed woman, who cried out as she limped toward the administration building, that her leg was sure to "Madam," a tall stranger renamed "if your leg was broken, as you could not walk upon it." Mr. Van Schaick was caught under a mass of tiling, concrete and timber and pinioned down until released by a policeman. Dr. Thomas and Professor Chickering were both bruised by the sudden fall with the mass of acidents and fatalities was regarded as amazing by those who went down DR.

He has been assigned to the upper class; by virtue of his fine examination.

The Crowd Expected Chase — Captain Burgee Seet, Four Offices Byrnes Sent Four Officers. At the Second Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon William E. Chancellor, Superintendent of Schools was greeted by an excited and disappointed audience. Long before the meeting was called to order persons would come and go, and questions were asked, "Is Chase there?" A rumor had been circulated that the Editor of The Bee intended to go to the church with a crowd and break up Chancellors' meeting. The most amusing incidents were when the entrance door would open, someone in the audience would say, "There he comes," meaning Chase. About 4.30, Dr. S. L. Corrothers entered the church and Rev. W.B. Johnson, who was acting presiding officer, mistook Dr. Corrothers for the Editor of The Bee, and immediately said, "I want it understood that this is the church of God and there is to be no interruption of the speaker." It was fully thirty minutes before the speaker had been introduced, and no Mr. Chase was in sight, and neither had he any intention of interrupting the meeting. This was a surprise to Rev. Johnson, as well as to the people, who had gone to the church more out of curiosity than the appreciation they had for the speaker. This was evidenced by the people leaving before the speaker had concluded, because when it was ascertained that Mr. Chase was not present and had not intended to be present, only five dozen people were present when the speaker had concluded. Captain Byrnes, of the Sixth Police Precinct, stated to a Bee representative that a hurry call had been sent to him from police headquarters to send a force of men to the Second Baptist Church, Third street between H and I, as W. Calvin Chase was going there to break up Chancellor's meeting. The news had circulated in and around the church, and the greatest excitement prevailed. As a matter of fact Mr. Chase was down near the Arsenal at the time, obsercing the nUited States gunboat at the foot of Seventh street, at the hour of this meeting. The only thought the Editor had was, if he could see a cannon large enough to return Chancellor to Paterson, N. J. When the Editor reached Seventh on his return from observation of the gunboat he saw one of Chancellor's teachers on the car who had attended the meeting. At the conclusion of the Superintendent's paper last Sunday he invited those who were his friends to come up and shake his hand. Five members of the Second Baptist Church walked up and hook his hand, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson included. The people of this city have decided to boycott the Second Baptist hereafter.

Albert Hammer, of Enid, Okla., received the blotter used by President Roosevelt in blotting his signature to the proclamation which made Iklahoma and the Indian Territory the State of Oklahoma. The Age makes a mistake in holding up the "colored servant girls" as targets because some of them wear eyeglasses. Can the Age not find something more weighty to give its readers? Newspapers must be hard up for matter when they begin to pick at the servant girls, who are human and ought to be permitted to spend their earnings in a way they may choose. The occupation of a woman should not determine her likings for"glad togs"—the name applied by the Age to apparel worn by the "colored servant girls," with eyeglasses, in the District of Columbia. The next paragraph was taken from the New York Age. "If 'nose glasses are indicative of great mental ability, then the colored servant girls of Washington are regular mental Trojans. They all wear nose glasses—only, however, when they put on their glad togs." The Age forgets that many girls have completed the full course of school training and have been compelled to fill positions of "servant girls." There are some some "colored servant girls" in Washington who wear "eyeglasses" more competent to edit the Age than those who are doing so now. It woud be better for the Age to court the friendship of the "colored servant girls" of Washington than to try to make fun of them. They always pay their subscription. Catch on?

Gillette Sales Company. 21 Times Building New York City One of the first rules in making cake is to see that the oven is of the right temperature. Then prepare the pan. Line it with ungreased paper. Do not lap the paper in the corners. Cut a piece as wide as the pan is long and have it long enough to extend an inch above the sides of the pan. Fit separate pieces into the ends. The paper can be removed as readily as when greased, and if the cake should get too brown on the bottom much of it will be removed with the paper. W. B. CORSETS The W.B.

Having the oven and pan ready, see that all of the ingredients are at hand, measured and ready for use. Butter for Cakes.—Butter should never be melted for cake, as it makes a cake coarse in texture. If the butter is very hard, allow it to stand on the kitchen table for a time, in order that it may be more easily measured and creamed. Measuring. — Butter should be packed solidly when it is measured, and dry ingredients should be measured lightly. Flour should always be sifted before it is measured. Mixing.—Two motions are used in mixing cake—stirring and beating. Use a stirring motion to combine the ingredients, and then beat to Inclose air and give a fine texture. Always make beating the last motion. Baking.—Baking a cake requires great care. It doesn't matter how well a cake has been mixed, if it is not cooked properly it will be a failure. Have the oven moderately hot at first, so that the cake can rise. When the oven is too hot a crust will form, and be broken as the cake rises. When the cake has risen increase the temperature and bake until it shrinks from the pan, and when pressed lightly with the finger no impression is left. When all is said, experience is the best teacher in this, as in many other things. Jelly Roll.—Yolks of three eggs, one cup sugar, two tablespoons thin cream, whites three eggs, one cup flour, two level teaspoons baking powder, one fourth level teaspoon salt, one teaspoon orange extract. Beat the egg yolks until light, beat in the sugar and cream, then fold in the egg whites beaten stiff, then the Hold and baking powder, sifted to gether. Add the extract, beat well and pour into a dripping pan lined with butter paper. Bake for 12 minutes. Turn from pan on to a paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove the paper from the bottom of the cake, spread quickly with jelly which has been beaten, and roll-up. Paper should be greased for cakes containing no shortening. Chicken Shortcake Have chicken cut into small pieces then fry out about two slices of salt pork in bottom of kettle. Lay pieces of chicken over the pork and add a quart of hot water. After it has bollied a little while and salt and pepper, an onion if liked, cut up; cook until meat falls from the bones. Keep adding hot water as it bolls away so as to have a quart of gravity when done. Thicken with heaping tablespoon of flour mixed with a little cold water. While chicken is cooking make a shortcake by the same recipe you use for biscuit, only use twice as much lard. Bake in a hot oven, split open when done, lay on a platter, break in pieces after spreading with butter, and pour the chicken and gravity over. I say break in pieces, because it makes it tough to cut with a knife. Cheap Batter Pudding. Beat three eggs with six dessert-spoonfuls of flour until very light, and then stir into it a quart of new milk. Add to it two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of melted butter and flavor it with a teaspoon of essence of lemon or peach water and half a nut meg grated. Beat it all well together and bake it in a buttered basin or mold for one hour. When done turn out and serve immediately. If preferred it may be bolled for two hours and served with white or hard sauce. Candled Orange Peel. Cut the peel into long, narrow pieces, soak three days, changing water two or three times a day. The fourth day put on stove, cover with water, and let simmer gently until soft. Then prur off water and measure the peel Use almost as much sugar as peel. If you have two cups of peel use one and three-fourths cups of sugar. Add only enough water to dissolve the sugar. Coll, stirring frequently, until sirup has almost disappeared. Roll in powdered sugar. Some people can the peeling after the sugar has become simply a sirup. Chocolate Custard Pie Make first the regulation custard pie. When the pie is baked, spread over the top the following mixture and allow it to harden a few minutes in the oven. Serve cold. Chocolate icing for pie: Melt a square of chocolate in a basin on the back of the stove, but do not add any water. When melted heat in one egg, a couple of tablespoons of pulverized sugar and a little vanilla. ED.

Peach Jelly.—Take fine, juicy free-stone peaches; pure and quarter them; scald in a little water, drain and mash them and squeeze through a jelly bag. To every pint of juice allow one pound of sugar and a few of the peach kernels. Having broken up the kernels and boiled them by themselves for a quarter of an hour in just sufficient water to cover them, strain off the kernel water and add it to the juice; mix the juice with the sugar, when it is melted boil them together 15 minutes until a thick jelly forms. Skim while it boils. Try the jelly by taking a little in a spoon and holding it in the air to see if it congeals; if after boiling it still continues to thin, it will congeal by stirring an ounce or more of isletglass, dissolved and strained. When the jelly is done put it into tumblers and make airtight. Peach Marmalade.—Take ripe yellow freestone peaches; pare, stone and quarter them; to each pound of fruit allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar and half an ounce of bitter almonds or peach kernels blanched in scalding water and pounded smooth in a mortar. Scald the peaches in a little water, mash them to a pulp; mix them with the sugar and pounded almonds and put the whole in a preserving kettle; let it boll to a thick jam; skim and stir well, keeping the pan covered up Fifteen minutes sufficient time for cold put in jars and dry place.

Best Is Always the Cheapest in This as in Most Other Things—Whole Wheat Bread Is Pal- There is too ready an inclination, when anything goes wrong with the bread, to blame the bread maker, when in the majority of cases the fault may be traced to the flour. As in many other things, the best flour is the cheapest, for the better the quality the greater the amount of nutriment obtained. Wheat contains all the life-sustaining properties of meat, except it is somewhat deficient in fat, but this is remedied by the use of butter, which adds also to its palatable and digestible qualities. A good flour has a rich, creamy yellowish tinge. is soft to the touch, yet when pressed firmly in the hand, and the hand then opened, the flour will fall apart and not pack easily. When rubbed between the fingers it is rather granulated. Good flour will take up a considerable amount of moisture. The very white flours, or those of bluish white tinge are poor, and will not make good bread. A strong and nutritious flour is one that contains more gluten than starch. This sort will absorb more liquid and make more bread to a given quantity, and is for this reason better for the purpose of bread making than a flour in which the gluten and starch are more evenly proportioned. In the entire wheat flour the entire kernel is used in the milling, as the name implies. I have heard it said that in the making of white flour some of the most nutritious elements are discarded. This discarded portion is used to feed live stock, and it is undoubtedly a fact that they cannot live on the white flour, while they subsist perfectly well on the "discarded" part. The whole wheat bread is light and flaky, when properly made, and is of a rather gravish tinge. In a family where tastes and physical conditions differ, it is advisable to provide both kinds of bread, the white and entire wheat. As a rule those who eat plenty of meat prefer the white bread, while the person with a preference for the vegetable diet will choose the entire wheat bread. Children are usually fond of the entire wheat bread, and choose it with that instinct which the child seems to possess about what is good for him. The child's liking for sugar is an instance of this quality, for doctors say that children need more sugar than adults.—Susan Cranford, in Los Angeles Herald. A Novel Cleanser. Among the new embroideries are those in raised silver and gold work. These are handsome and expensive, and one who knows says they should never be brushed in the ordinary way of cleaning trimmings, but that a piece of crimson velvet should be taken and rubbed very slowly and gently over them. Of course, we are all familiar with the use of black velvet as a dust cloth for hats and fine black materials, the fine nap penetrating and carrying away dust without injury where nothing else could, but what virtue there is in crimson velvet, aside from its texture, is hard to guess, but it is possible, of course, that there may be some effect in the dye used. The Garden Variety. One of the latest fads is to have tea in one's garden. "Nothing novel about that!" you will say. It surely isn't, if one takes it to be the tea one drinks outdoors under the trees with a bug or a caterpillar likely to fall in the cup. Instead one has tea growing in the garden. Creepers of all sorts, so they say, are dried along with the tea leaves parceled for export to this country. Tea can be grown for home consumption in the ordinary kitchen garden. The climate of the southern or gulf states is best adapted to tea growing, but it may be cultivated with success in any region where temperature is never below zero and where there is a plentiful rainfall. Bobote. This is an African dish which is be coming very popular in our country. Soak a slice of bread in as much fresh milk as it will absorb; cut a Spanish onion into rings, and brown them in a little butter. Mix the bread and onions with two pounds of minced beef or mutton; add 12 pounded sweet almonds, a teaspoonful of curry powder and the juice of a lemon. Beat up two or three eggs with a little milk; put the mixture, seasoned with salt and pepper, in a buttered pie dish; pour the egg and milk over, and bake in a moderate oven. Dainty Sandwiches To two hard boiled eggs add one dozen walnut kernels, one dozen ripe olives, and half a dozen stuffed olives. Chop walnut kernels fine; then chop eggs and olives together, adding sufficient mayonnaise to make the right consistency to spread. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and also add a little prepared sweet mustard. After having buttered the bread, spread a thin coating of sweet mustard, and last, spread on a generous portion of the above mixture. Serve with a crispy lettuce leaf if desired. Improve Flavor of Pork Roast. To improve the flavor of pork roast, half an hour before taking from the oven cover with rounds of unpeeled greening apples, fastened on with toothpicks. Molasses Adds Greatly to Flavor of the Dish. Soak a cup and a half dried or evaporated apples over night in cold water, then stew soft the day before using in a half cupful molasses. Cream together one cup sugar and half cup butter. Add two-third of a cup of sour milk, then the apples. And next two well beaten eggs, a tablespoonful cloves, two teaspoonsful cinnamon, a grating of nutmeg and three cupfuls flour sifted three times over with a half teaspoonful soda. Mix thoroughly, using the hands. Have ready one cupful seeded raisins, two-third cup currants and a little shredded citron. A few finely chopped butternut or hickory nut meats are an addition. Put a layer of the batter in a paper lined cake tin, then sprinkle in some of the fruit and nut mixture. Follow with the dough, then more fruit, and so on, having the batter at the top. Bake in a slow bread oven, covering the cake with a buttered paper if inclined to brown too fast on top. How to Make Evelets. There's a new way of making those troublesome eyelets, discovered by a girl who is locally famous for inventing labor-saving ideas, says the Washington Star. It consists of running the eyelet around and then cutting it from end to end and buttonholing it, making the stitches as deep as those upon the usual buttonhole, but reversing the stitch so that the edge stitches back upon the material instead of around the open edge of the eyelet. It is about one-fifth as hard to do as the usual way, and the difference in length of time is even more marked. Holland Salad. Soak a quarter pound of codfish two or three hours and then boil it 15 minutes. Let it cool; then chop it fine. This fish can be prepared in the morning and left for the making of the salad later in the day. Chop four or five stalks of tender celery and the crisp leaves of a head of lettuce. Add to this mixture a chopped onion and two hard boiled eggs. Add a few sprigs of parsley Put the ingredients in a salad bowl; add the Juice of a lemon, and serve with mayonnaise dressing. Ham Salad. This salad may be prepared in one large dish or on individual plates. Prepare one quart mashed potatoes, one pint ham, chopped fine; to which add one tablespoonful chopped pickle and one hard boiled egg, chopped fine. Place the hot mashed potatoes on crisp lettuce leaves; sprinkle over this the ham and garnish with the whites of two hard boiled eggs, cut in rings. Press through a sieve the yolks of the eggs, sprinkle this over all, and dress with French dressing. Compote of Rice and Apples Boll one-half pint rice with one quart of water 20 minutes; drain it; add two ounces sugar, two ounces butter and rind of a lemon. Stir, cool, and strain it, pressing out all water. Arrange in layers on a dish with five large apples (pared, sliced and cooked in syrup) between. Put a layer of rice on top, dust with sugar and bake one hour. Arrange with a custard poured over, flavored with wine, called sabayou." It can be served cold or hot. Hints and Helps. A little girl in the north woods who saw the ineffectual efforts of a camper to light a match came to the rescue with this advice: "Rub the match in your hair, lady, and it will light." And sure enough it did. Harlequin sandwiches are every picnic affairs in a certain clique of young folk in the Catskills. They are made of thin slices of brown and white bread buttered and put together alternately and then cut like layer cake. Fricassee of Lamb. Cut the best part of the lamb into square pieces of two inches each; wash, dry and flour them. Boll four tablespoons of butter, one of finely minced fat salt pork and a sprig of parsley (chopped) for ten minutes, put the meat in, and the juice of half a lemon, an onion minced fine, pepper and salt. Simmer, closely covered, two hours, then add the beaten yolks of two eggs, shake the pan over the fire two minutes and serve. Several Good Uses for Tape. Have a bolt of tape in your sewing basket and use it to put hangers on walts, skirts, night gowns and petticoats. Sew the hangers on the sleeve seam underneath the arm and sew on each side of the belt of a skirt. Garments which are hung by these hangers will keep their shape much longer and will not be pulled and stretched. These are especially good for plaited skirts, as the plaits fall into shape when the skirts are hung up. Appetizing Vegetables Vegetables never should be washed until immediately before preparing for the table. Lettuce is made almost worthless in flavor by dipping it in water some hours before using. Potatoes suffer even more than some other vegetables by the washing process. They should not be put in water until ready for boiling. Bolled Onions in Sauce Melt two tablespoons of butter, add one tablespoon of flour; when smooth add boiling milk or cream until thick and creamy; remove from the fire, add teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, and pour over the onions after they have been boiled in salted water FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire-$1.00.

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 Flat Irons 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 flats," at all times, lest 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 finksh.

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 now, shorten their hours of toll and people come whom a sham of a 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.

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 son dies. The Grand Lodge 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 $3.00 to $5.00 per week if sick or disabled. The I. L. U.
