VOL.27 NO.28 SenatorForaker Accepts HIS LETTER TO OHIO REPUBLICANS — A MANLY DEFENSE OF HIS PRINCIPLES. Seventeer, Foraker's Letter. Senator Foraker's Letter. United States Senate, November 28, 1907—Hon. Conrad J. Mattern, Vice President Ohio Republican League, Dayton, Ohio. Dear Sir: I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22d instant with copy enclosed, as stated, of resolutions adopted by the advisory and executive committees of the Ohio Republican League of Clubs at a joint meeting held at the Neil House in Columbus, November 20, denouncing the proposition that I should be "eliminated" from public life, and relegated to private citizenship because in the discharge of my duties as a Senator I have been unable in three instances to agree with President Roosevelt, and pledging me their support as a candidate for reelection to be my own successor, and also declaring that I am their choice as a candidate for the presidency. I am informed that there were ninety-eight members of the committee out of a total membership of one hundred and five present in person or by proxy, and that the resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote, and with much enthusiasm. The names and addresses of those present, as published in the newspaper, how that all action and counties of the State were represented, and that among these representatives are many who have for years been well known to the whole State as prominent leaders of the Republi can party. I would not be insensible to such a mark of confidence and esteem if I could be, and I could not be if I would. But I do not want to even appear to be a candidate for two offices at the same time, and therefore forego the double honor proposed, and with heartfelt appreciation accept the support for the presidential candidacy which the committees have so generously tendered. Nevertheless, I want to say that far beyond anything personal to myself, I am gratified by the action taken because it is a flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of United States Senator is to be stripped of all the real honor attached to it by making its incumbent a mere agent to register the decrees of somebody else instead of the representative of a State charged with the constitutional duty of legislating according to his best judgment for the welfare of a great nation, accountable to his constituency for his acts and votes, but to nobody else. I regard it of far greater importance to uphold and protect the dignity and usefulness of the Senatorial office than that any particular man should be chosen to fill it. As our fathers created it the place is one of the most important in the government, and any man might well feel highly honored to hold it, but if it is to be degraded into a mere agency, no self-respecting man can desire to hold it. I not only stand for the broad principles involved, but also stand ready to submit to my constituents for their judgment not only my action in the three instances when I was unable to agree with the President, but my entire record. I may have made mistakes, but no speech or vote or other act will be found that was not in accordance with a conscientious judgment formed by the aid of the best light at the time attainable. Thinks Majority Is With Him. My action on the question of joint Statehood and in the Brownsville matter your committees have approved, as I believe the great majority of Republicans do everywhere. There are doubtless yet many who criticise my vote on the Rate Bill, but if the assurances with which my mail is filled, coming as they do from every section of the country, are not misleading, the number of these critics is rapidly diminishing. In the debates on that measure I took pains to point out that if the Government took upon itself the duty and responsibility of making rates, it would of necessity have to determine not only how much a railroad should be allowed to make, but also how much it should be allowed to expend—how much for operation, for extensions, for equipment, and for every other item of necessary expenditure, all of which it is impossible for a Government to do successfully and satisfactorily, and that the result would inevitably be that just at the time when a rapidly increasing business for the roads was making it necessary for the mto raise hundreds of millions annually for increasing their tracks, cars, and general facilities we would impair the confidence of investors in their stock and bonds and thereby not only make it impossible for the roads to sell the additional securities necessary for such purposes, but lead many of the holders of them, both at home and abroad, to dispose of what were already outstanding, and that in consequence the market would be so largely oversupplied that their values would shrink, dragging down all kinds of securities with them until panic and disaster would take the place of confidence and property. Responsible for Financial Conditions. To say "I told you so" is always ungrateful, but it is, I trust, permissible to point out that from the day the Rate Bill passed the trend has been in the direction predicted, and while other thing have contributed, that measure has a full share of responsibility for the unhappy financial and industrial conditions with which we have been overtaken. While there should be efficient supervision and regulation of interstate commerce, and the carriers and corporations of every kind engaged therein, it will become more and more manifest as time passes and results are developed that this supervision must be sane, conservative-consistent with the Constitution and with sound common sense. The moral standing of the business men of this country has always been high. It was never so high as it is now. There is consequently less occasion than ever before to restrict commercial freedom by statutory details of management and surveillance that are apparently framed on the theory that all men are criminals. Such legislation hampers enterprise, retards business activity, and discredits the whole nation. Broad principles should govern in all legislation, and the enforcement of the laws should be left to the appropriate tribunals without unauthorized interference from any source, and above all things there should be no toleration of the idea that our Constitution has become in a part a misfit and obsolete, and that it must be changed and vitalized by judicial interpretation, or by the mere assertion of public sentiment in support of that which may be for the moment desired, although manifestly unauthorized by its provisions. Suicidal to Tinker with Tariff. From the beginning of our government our Constitution has been recognized by all the world as one of the wisest and most perfect organic laws ever framed. under it we have grown and prospered as no other people ever has. We should be slow to condemn it or to find fault with it, but if we find it inadequate, or that for any reason it should be changed, it contains a provision in accordance with which the people can amend it. No one should think of amending it in any other manner. To change it in any other way would be the beginning of the end. In my opinion no amendments are necessary to enable the Government to efficiently exercis all its powers, and that no additional powers are necessary to the proper supervision and regulation of every matter that it is the legitimate subject of legislation. I note also that the committees refer to the Republican policy of a protective tariff and to the enforcement of the laws for the protection of all the rights of citizenship. At another time I may take occasion to speak on these subjects at some length, but it is sufficient for present purposes to remark that with our surplus revenues diminishing and our enormous expenditures increasing, it would be like adding the last grain of sand to undertake to tinker with the tariff. Under the present tariff laws we have had the greatest prosperity any country has ever enjoyed, and it has been because of the strength thus given us that we have stood up as well as we have under the decline of values amounting to billions of dollars that has at last brought business depression to employers and idleness to thousands of employees. It is to the beneficent results of that policy as expressed in the Dingley law that we must look for one of the necessary factors in the work of restricting prosperity Equal Rights of Citizenship. There will doubtless come a time when changes in that law can be made to advantage, but that time is not now. So far as the protection of the equal rights of citizenship is concerned, my views are well known. When the Republican party falters in that high duty it will fail and go out of power, and it will deserve defeat. What Lincoln and Grant and the great men of their day did was not done in vain. Their achievements will endure, and every Republican who honors their memory and glories in their deeds should be proud to uphold their work. When the national committee shall Continued on Page 4. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER What I Saw And Heard PARAGRAPHI WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 7, 1907. I don't know what the people think, but I do know that they are satisfied that the Superintendent of Public Instruction will be removed from his position. Bob Terrell especially, who had better hand in his resignation. It will relieve him and others of embarrassment. Perhaps Bob does not know what is behind this gentle hint. I am in favor of home rule. The people insist on having District men appointed to District offices. Rev. W. B. Johnson is no doubt convinced that Chancellor was an unpopular drawing card. By the way, he will invite Ben Tillman to address the Lyceum. He had better extend his invitation to John Temple Graves, Vardaman and Tom Dixon. Nothing surprises me these days. If you want to see a happy set of teachers, just walk the schools. Many of them, however, are weeping, for fear SENATOR J. OF O WHO HAS ANNOUNCED HIS CAN UNITED J. H. the Superintendent of Public Instruction may not go. I would suggest to Mary Church Terrell to hand in her resignation. She will have a few questions to answer before the Congressional committee this winter. Someone is endeavoring to apologize for Roscoe Conkling Bruce on account of his age. If he is too young for his present position he should resign. His usefulness in the schools is at an end. Brother Chancellor is now telling tales out of school. Why has he been so late? He should keep nothing back. He should tell all he knows about the High School appointments, and why they were made, and for whom they were made. Now is the time to get even. Whenever individuals get mixed up with blacklegs then comes their Waterloo. I knew the moment the anonyms letter writer got his finger in the pie every guest would become poisoned. I once related to him a story, but I am convinced that he has not been benefitted by it. Chicago to his home in Philadelphia.

Corrothers, of Galbraith Church, went to Philadelphia last mont' and preached at the Fifteenth Street Lumbard Church, one of the largest churches in the country. This was on the 15th. On October 25th he delivered an address before the Preachers' Association of the City of Philadelphia, at which time he criticised the President for his alleged abuse of the Negro soldiers. He also took issue with Prof. Booker T. Washington, and concluded his 'address with a compliment to Prof. Booker T. Washington. Bishop J. W. Clinton will preach at Galbraith Church tomorrow at eleven o'clock and Rev. Dr. J. B. McLDaugh-in in the evening at eight o'clock. RDAY DECEMBER 7, 1907. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss Beatrix L. Chase.

The one hundredth birthday anniversary of Whittier will be observed at Friends' Meeting House the evening of the 17th instant. The number of new bills introduced last Monday nearly reached five thousand. Rev. Walter H. Brooks preached at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond Va., Thanksgiving Day. Howard University should discard athlete phase now. The death of Mr. Herbert Scott, of Baltimore, who was a member of the football team, was due to a collision at Lincoln University. One death to its credit is enough. Lawyer J. Douglass Wetmore won a successful case in New York. He represented Antonio Sintona against New York City Railroad, having judgments and costs given in his favor. Justice Davis publicly congratulated Mr. Wetmore. It is reported that Mr. Bishop Orr is under medical treatment in Charlotte, N. C. Rev. G. B. Howard, pastor of Gilfield Baptist Church, Petersburg, has been elected president of Virginia Seminary. A bill has been introduced in the House praying that the people of Mexico be permitted to form a legislature and state government and be admitted into the Union. The acquittal of Mrs. Bradley of the murder of Senator Brown closed a trial which was holding the attention of the entire nation. Robert Frazier, of Richmond, Va., was brought to this city ill last Monday and removed to the Emergency Hospital. The Sixtieth Congress began its session last Monday at twelve o'clock. The football game at Howard University was well attended Thanksgiving Day. Memorial services were held last Sunday night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church by Columbia Lodge, No. 25, I. B. P. O. E. W., colored, of this city. Owing to the crowded condition of the paper last week, Paragraphic News was omitted. The dedication of the new building of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church will take place the first of January. Mr. J. C Napier, who attended the fortieth anniversary of Howard University, returned to Nashville, Tenn., last week. John Wilson, the only colored member of the Police Department at Pine Bluff, was suspended by the Chief of Police in that city and fined two hundred dollars. He was charged with assault and battery by a jury. The annual inspection of the Police Department of the District, which was under the supervision of Major Sylvester, commenced at noon last Tuesday and was reviewed on Rhode Island avenue. It was reported to the Commissioners last Tuesday that the resurfacing of Delaware avenue from C street to the main entrance of the new Union Station has been completed. The Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Railway have now commenced to use underground trolley from the north end of the new highway bridge into the city, in compliance with the requirements of the War Department. The death sentence which was passed upon Karl Hau at Germany, formerly a professor in George Washington University, this city, for the murder of his mother-in-law, has been commuted to life imprisonment. A disastrous fire occurred at Houston, Texas, last Sunday. The total loss was estimated at $750,000. The Housto$^{11}$ Theater was among the buildings destroyed. Last Sunday the first Sunday in Advent was the opening of the ecclesiastical year, and was observed in all Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran and Greek churches of this city. It is said that Bishop H. M. Turner delivered an interesting address before a large audience of ministers of the Southwestern Georgia Methodist Conference at Americus, Ga., last week. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. All next week the United Republican Clubs of the District of Columbia will hold meetings throughout the District in places published in last week's issue of The Bee. On the seventh page of The Bee will be seen the boundaries of the twenty-two election districts. The Bee extends its thanks to Attorneys Lackie and Fulton for the excellent commendation of it. The Bee has been rendered invaluable service by these two distinguished attorneys without cost. The Bee never knew before that it was so influential till these gentlemen informed the Board of Education. The services rendered The Bee by these two lawyers at the Law Board meeting, without charge, is appreciated by its manager. It didn't know before that it was the advance guard of the Chancellor investigation. President Thirkield, of Howard University, has received from Andrew Carnegie a gift of fifty thousand dollars for a new library for Howard University. This is an excellent contribution for this university. This is the estimate that Mr. Carnegie puts upon an institution that is a monument to the colored race. I also shows that Dr. Thirkield has begun to do some good work. The Rt. Rev. S. D. Ferguson, the only bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church, sailed from New York for England, where he will be received by the dignitaries of the Church, after which he will proceed to his station at Monrovia, West Liberia. (The white people of the South made a kick on the bishop on account of his dining with Bishop Potter of New York. The dinner was something like the one give^® by the President to his friend, Booker T.) THE TEACHERS' BURDENS CONTAIN TO OPPRESS THEM—UNNECESSARY MEETINGS — FAVORITISM IN APPOINTMENTS. COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATESIGNORED. The colored teachers in the public schools are continued to be oppressed by the unnecessary night meetings and lectures after they have been working all day. It is a matter for the Board of Education to look into. Teachers are compelled to be in their buildings between half-past eight and quarter of nine o'clock. They teach all day, and many of them have no time to eat lunch because they either must get out some information for the supervising principals or the assistant superintendent, who knows nothing about our public school system. After school the teacher must attend a meeting called by the superintendent. They must attend these meetings before they go home. They remain in the meetings until five or six o'clock p.m. They are very much worn out after they arrive at home. They must arrange their toilet before they eat. Many of them must eat a cold dinner, and dinner and supper combined. They hardly have time to eat a decent meal. There is no time for rest, but they must prepare to attend a lecture for which they have been compelled to purchase a ticket to the amount of $1.50. Just think of it! They must go and listen to some lecturer who has a hobby or some subject in which he alone is interested, and not the teacher. The two latest acts of the superintendent will be seen in the Normal School No. 2 and in another building. The appointment of Dr. Montgomery's son in the Normal School at a salary of one thousand dollars per annum over Normal School graduates who are waiting and eligible, and the appointment of Mrs.Wilkerson, a married woman,whose husband is employed in the Government? Why were not two of the recent graduates of the Normal School appointed? There are several who are in need of work and are deserving. The Board of Education should investigate these two appointments and ascertain why they were made over Normal School graduates who are waiting to be appointed. MACFARLAND SPEAKS At the breaking of the dirt of the Colored Young Men's Christian association, Thirteenth and T streets, last week, Commissioner H. B. Macfarland said in part as follows: "The community is to be congratulated upon this event. It is of importance to every man, woman and child in the District of Columbia, for it makes distinctively for best citizenship, because it makes for righteousness. What these colored men have done unaided to meet the offer of $25,00 by raising $32,000, or $7,000 more than was required, is the most notable thing of its kind ever done by colored men anywhere. It shows what fine colored citizens we have. It shows that they are proud of their race and glad to help it stand on its feet; and more, to advance to greater progress. It will help the race everywhere, for everywhere it will win as here, respect and regard. It is appropriate that the great international convention of the Young Men's Christian Association should close with this incident, for it will appeal to the brotherhood throughout the world and stir them to greater and more zealous efforts. As president of the last International Convention at Buffalo, three years ago, I saw as in a glance the great achievements of the associations all over the earth, but nothing then or since has impressed me more than what these men of Washington have done for the uplifting of their people, for the honor of the National Capital, and to the glory of God." Mr. Simmons, father of Sir Knight Simmons, of Simons Commandrery, K. T., still keeps sick at his residence, F street southwest. The Masons of the Virginia avenue faction went to Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day. They had a large evening. More than five million acres will be opened for settlement in the West by the Government within the next year. Dr. Marage, a French scientist, has presented to the Academy of Science a number of deaf-mutes, whom he has taught to speak and hear by the aid of a vowel syrren. In an article which appered in the Confederate Veteran, Captain Al. Derosset, of Wilmington, N. C., says that the Custodian Chalaron of Louisiana Historical Association has letters in his possession showing that General Grant, Admiral Farragut and Gen. Thomas early in the war, applied to Jefferson Davis for commissions. His authority is Judge Robert Ould, of Richmond, Virginia. : . . = ~ —=>= ee - ~ - -. - . a ~ 4 a 5 ————, Eee, Te Fay. — Se ot 7 a } poets 5 eee eS ee Le = (Gee Se aes aes 7 “3 1 eB hs _@__| @__@. a Sib be — a sae ft eda ‘eo fat pee PF" li = 4 7 --<ge lby : cna ee: mccain: = ——_——_ = ore =. = eg Oligo py | ese. ee eo 8 elo] Sing on.Oh, ye po = ets, T teasing a song,......

GETTING RiD OF MILDEW. ‘Stain Is Hard to Remove, But It Can Be Done. + Mildew Is a stain caused by linen being put away damp, either from the body or after washiag. It is a true mold, and, Ike all plants, requires warmth and molsture for its growth. When this necessary moisture is fur- nished by any cloth in a warm place the mildew grows upon the fibers. It is a most difficult stain to remove and requires great patience. Stretch the stamed part over a hard, Arm surface and rub off as much as will come with a piece of soft, dry rag. Rub in a Jittle salt and try if the juice of a Jemon will take it out. The best way ts to wet the ‘stains thoroughly, rub them over with plenty of soap and then scrape chalk on the place, put the article In the sun and Keep ft sprinkled with water; renew the soap and the chalk and the wetting from me to time and the stain will come out, finse well. | ‘The sunlight kills the plant and bleaches the fibers. Bleaching power or javelle water may be tried in cases of advanced growth, but success can- not be assured. Handkerchiefs are es- | pecially lable to mildew. | Old mildew stains may be removed | by rubbing yellow soap on both sides /and afterward laying on very thick | starch which has been dampened; rub in well and expose to lght and air. If this does not prove effectual, boll- ing in water to which a Ittle chloride of Ime has been added may be resort- ed to, but it must ba borne In mind that this has a weakening effect on the material. Mildew stains on linen yield to flow: ers of sulphur; sprinkle on thickly. This is a certain cure for mildew fungi. W. B. CORSETS 1) cre. ‘S), rice ak The W.B. Reduso .

White Wood and Furniture a Pleasing Contrast to Pink Walls. A charming bedroom where the ut: most effect of dalntiness can be ob- tained with veiy practical means {s the rose-colored rvom, but an equally Rood effect can be secured by using water blue or green in light and agree able shades. says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. If rose color is preferred. 1 pleasing tint can be made by a sparing and careful ad- dition of vermilion, or of the scarlet used in carriage painting, to cream white. This means that a small amount of yellow ochre is first added to the white palat and thoroughly Incorpor- ed with it before the vermilfon or scarlet Is added The woodwork of the room should be painted cream white, and the walls have three coats of plak —the first two considerably darker than the last, as the last is lighter, it gives a misty effect which is very ‘soft and satisfying. After the last coat is well dried a border of cream white should be stenciled at the top of the wall next the ceiling. It may be wide or narrow, as one prefers; but if wide, the lower part of it, for a third of the width, should be faintly or thinly painted, in order to have it blend properly into the wall. It is necessary only to use a full. brush at the top and a comparatively empty one at the bottom of the stencil to secure this effect, and even an unintelligent workman can do It if the object is explained to him. If a narrow border Is used, what Is called’ a “floating design” may be added to the wall; and this also should be varied by the use of more opr less paint {n the brush, so that some of the floating forms should look Ilke the mere reflection of the others. The furniture of this room would be prefer- ably of cream-white enamel to match the wood-work. but a bedrnam «ot in [ natura: wood could be used if more convenient. The curtains should be of pink chambray or pink denim under white muslin. and it will add to the beauty of the rvom if the counterpaae is made in the same way. A sage-sree2 carpet harmonizes exceedingly well with this scheme of color and gives what one may call a pastel effect to the room.

If stove polish be moistened with benzine the blacking will last much longer and be brighter on the stove. To remove cakes, readily from tins place them on a wet towel or cloth immediately on taking them from the oven. Chopped pecan nuts, almond and pine nuts may be sprinkled over lettuce and covered with French dressing for a dinner salad. It is said that in sprinkling clothes if a whisk broom is used the clothes will be dampened much more evenly than by sprinkling with the hand. If when salt and flour bags are emptied you will put them in the clothes hamper to be washed and boiled out, you will always have a supply of jelly strainers. The salt bag is just the thing for the odd glasses of jelly made all during the season. The next time you make dumplings to add to stewed chicken, instead of mixing them with water, use some of the liquor in which the chicken has been cooked. The flavor is much richer. The same may be tested with good results when making a baked potpie, and the richness of the dough is delicious. TO COOK WESTPHALIA HAM. Dish Requires Care and Attention to Turn Out Well. In cuttling a Westphallian ham for cooking, one should see that the slices are thick rather than thin, and that all, if more than one is to be cooked, are of about the same thickness. Soak them for an hour in sufficient milk to cover them; then wipe them dry and fry them on both sides, using a little pure lard to grease the pan. When cooked sufficiently, and this means that they must not be fried too long, the meat should be placed upon a hot platter, while a heaping cupful of bread crumbs should be poured into the hot fat in the frying pan. After they have fried for a few seconds, for it will not take long for them to brown slightly, moisten them with about two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a teacupful of gravy or good beef stock. Boll the sauce for a few minutes longer; then add a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, with enough salt and pepper to season agreeably, and pour the sauce over the slices of ham. You will be astonished at the result. Chow Chow. One neck of green tomatoes, two quarts of string beans, one quart lima beans, one dozen ears of corn, one dozen carrots, one dozen onions, one dozen cucumbers, one head of cabbage, five green peppers, three cups sugar, one tablespoon salt, half pound ground mustard, one ounce of celery seed, half ounce of tumeric powder. Slice tomatoes, let stand over night, boll the beans, corn and carrots, chop the cucumbers and peppers, slice the onions and cabbage, boll all half an hour in vinegar enough to cover and add a little alum about the size of a bean in the vinegar. Ironing Sleeves. Be sure to have a small ironing board or sleeve board to iron sleeves on. They come the shape of a large ironing board, smaller at one end than at the other. The sleeve can be ironed in half the time it takes to do it on the large board and then there is no crease in the back of the sleeve. Tucked rokes of thin waists may be ironed nicely on this sleeve board without mussing the other parts of the waist. Chestnut Sauce. Chestnut sauce is an excellent accompaniment to boiled fowl, and forms a pleasant change from parsley, usually served with it. Boll or bake a score of chestnuts till tender, then pound the white part in a mortar to a paste, with two ounces butter, a pinch of sugar and one-half teaspoon salt. Mix slowly with it one-half pint of cream, stir over the fire till it bolls. Barley and Tomatoes. Wash half a cup of barley and soak for four hours. At the end of that time put it into the double boiler with one quart of boiling water and one teaspoon of salt. Cook for one hour. Then add one-half can of tomatoes and a medium sized onion cut up fine. Let it cook half an hour longer. Abgut ten minutes before serving mix In one tablespoonful of grated cheese and a piece of butter the size of a walnut. To Mend a Torn Page How often a page which has a slight tear in it is left unmended until the tear gradually grows larger and then finally part of the page is gone altogether. The best way to mend a torn page is to paste over it a piece of thin waxed paper. The printing can be easily seen through this and the page is almost as strong as when new. A Good Wall Covering. Burlap makes a very satisfactory wall covering as it lasts a long time and can easily be freshened with a coat of paint. Red burlap walls are charming in a library, especially where the woodwork is in Flemish oak. Get an ounce of gum arabic crystals and dissolve in boiling water. It should be 'of the consistency of thin cream, thin enough to pour easily. When cold it is ready for use.—Harper's Bazar.

HAVE STOOD TEST HAVE STOOD TEST RECIPES KNOWN AND USED FOR YEARS. Will Bring Back to Many the Joys of Their Childhood Days and the Good Things Mother Used to Make. It is a singular thing how as we grow older the inherited or childish tastes for certain dishes take precedence over the later and acquired tastes. No water is so sweet and refreshing as that which trickled over the mossy sides of the "old oaken bucket," for in those days we didn't bother our heads over such unimportant things as microbes or surface drainage. No frapped drink in crystal flagon compares with the pink lemonade that blissfully crowned a visit to the circus or country fair. No bread is so delightfully satisfying as the "salt rising," the fat brown loaf or "rys n'ingen," or the spoon bread of the south, though we might find to-day the first malodorous, the second coarse and heavy, and the third apt to be soggy. Oh, for the "fruit loved of boyhood," the pies and cookies "mother used to make," the turnovers and "jolly boys," the jumbos" and "hermits," sand tarts and card gingerbread that made our school lunch baskets the envy of our mates. Would you like some of these recipes gleaned first hand from practiced housewives, north, south, east and west? Every recipe is not only rich in association, but so good that it is still in use in the families originally brought up on it. High Bridge Gingerbread:—This is still in use in an old homestead where the fifth generation is in possession. Put in a pan one cup molasses, one cup brown sugar and one cup melted butter. Add a dessert spoonful soda and stir until dissolved and foamy. Add one cup sour milk in which a dessert spoonful soda has been dissolved and stir until the whole mixture is foamy. Add two beaten eggs, a teaspoonful grated nutmeg, and a dessert spoonful of cinnamon, a tablespoonful ginger and three cups of flour. Stir until well blended, then bake in a moderate oven. Maple Wood Hermits.—Mix together two cupfuls sugar, one cup molasses, one cup pure lard, softened, and two level teaspoonfuls soda dissolved in a cup of warm water. Add two well-beaten eggs, two teaspoonfuls cinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves, six cups flour and one cupful fruit, which may be seeded raisins, chopped English currants or chopped prunes. Mix very soft, cut out with a cooky cutter and bake on floured tins in a medium hot oven. Auntle Coe's Ginger Snaps.—Boll one pint of molasses. When cooled to milk warm beat into it one beaten egg and one teacup butter and lard, mixed and melted. Add two tablespoonfuls ginger, then work in one teaspoonful soda dissolved in a spoonful warm water and enough sifted flour to enable you to roll out the dough easily. It must be rolled wafer thin, the snaps stamped out and baked quickly. Remove carefully from the pan and lay on sheets of paper until cold and crispy. Good Chili Sauce. A chill sauce is made by a western housekeeper, which will be found good and economical. Chop finely six large green peppers from which the seeds and white pulp have been removed, and four large onions. Cut into small pieces 24 large ripe tomatoes. Put them together in a kettle, mix thoroughly and add three tablespoonfuls of salt, eight tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, six cups of vinegar, two teaspoons of cinnamon and one of cloves. Boil it gently one hour, then seal in pint cans. Spliced Grapes. One quart grapes, vinegar, one pint sugar, one level tablespoon ground cloves, one level tablespoon ground clinnamon. Remove grapes from stems and wash. Put into preserving kettle, cover with vinegar, heat slowly to the boiling point, and cook for thirty minutes. Strain, add sugar and spice, and let come to a boil. Remove from the fire and when cold bottle for use. This is very nice with cold meats. To Remove Dye Stain. I spilled some red dye on my tan covert skirt and the cleaners told me that any substance strong enough to take out the stain would eat the goods. I knew that hot water would set the dye, so I scrubbed it with ivory soap and ammonia and cold water, using a brush. This plan was a good one, for after much scrubbing it was as good as new. Make Children's Stockings. A good way to make cheap stockings for children is to take men's worn balbriggan underwear and with an old stocking for a pattern cut out and with a ten-cent package of dye of either black or brown dye them. Several pairs can be had from a suit of clothes, according to the size of the child. Household Economy When house cleaning, the best and quickest way to wash woodwork is to wring a cloth out of soft warm water, dip it in soda, and rub on the woodwork. The dirt will be easily and quickly removed and the paint will look fresh and new. On Cold Washdays To prevent hands from getting cold while hanging up clothes, wipe hands dry and rub thoroughly with powdered starch. FULL DRESS AND TUXEDO SUITS. $1.00-For Hire—$1.00.

Six onions, slice them, put in frying pan with a little butter, fry to a golden brown, then add a teaspoon of flour; let this get a nice brown, then pour one pint of beef or chicken broth over it. Boil 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 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 fats," 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 finish.

In his letter to the Republican: of Ohio, found in another column of The Bee, Senator Foraker man- Fully, ‘eloquently and concisely de- fines the issues and lays down his platiorm in no uncertain language. Senator Foraker is the kind of man the American people want.He is the kind of man in whom the American people can confide. He has miade a noble fight ior human rights and civil liberty. He didn’t mack the fight in the defense of these soldiers -on account of their color, but because they were dis- missed from the army in dishonor and without atrial by jury. They were prejudged and sentenced in defiance of equitt and in violation oi the Constituion of the United States. His disagreement with the President was manly. He was not vicious. But,-in a manly way, he discussed the law. His letter to the Republicans of the State of Ohio, who indorsed him as a pres- identia] candidate and for Senator, is sufficient proof of the confidence his constituents have in him. If his loyalty to his constituents had been doubted and his patriotism to his country questioned, Senator Foraker would not have received the unanimous endorsement of the great Republican party of his na- tive State. It pays to be honest in everything, and it pays to be honest with your friend§ in par- ticular. Honest men will succeed no matte? what their encmies may think of them. Ii Senator Foraker is nominated for president, he will be elected, because in him the Am- ericans have confidence. | | The long politcal career of Sen- ator Foraker has heen as an‘open hook. He has not dodged behind issues or measures. He is one trac "American who has won his way upon the field of battle and in many bloody conflicts he distinguished himself as a brave soldier, and in the republic he stands today the foremost statesman. The Bee's only wish is that he wil] be justly rewarded for his life- Jong work in defense of human rights and civil liberty. 552 WAY SS ‘There are evidences of the good Prof. Booker T. Washington. is doing to make the Negro a fac- tor in the country. No matter what his faults have been and may he now, the organization of the Negro Business League has tak. en the Negro from active partici- pation in politics to that of mate- rial progress. Instead of makiny politics the direct object of Negro citizenship, politics is an incident and in every State in the Union the Negro is scheming how to earn money and make himself a business man and business factor. It was Dr, Washington who first instilled into the minds of colored Americans the importance of es- tablishing business enterprises. Look. if vou please, at the pro- gress the Negro nas made in busi- ness in the city of Washington. He no longer looks to the preju: dived white man for accommoda- tion in drug stctes, grocery es- tablishments, -restaurants, eating saloons, and the like. In the med: ical profession he is on a par with his white competitor. In law he gets his share of business. + Dr, Washington should be com mended ior this great busines: organization that has been and ‘is now such a benefit to the Negro Go where yo may, you wil! .See the Negro doing what his whit brother is doing.

FAVORITISM IX THE SCHOOIS * The two secent appointments ir the public schools, colored, the sor of Dr. Montgomery in the Norma School and Mrs, Wilkerson, a mar. ned woman, whose husband is em: ployed in the Government, ove: Normal School graduates whe have been waiting for appointments since September, should be imme- diately investigated hy the Board oi Education. = Is this favoritism in the public schools to, be continued? Are de- serving teachers and Normal grad- uates to be ignored and outsiders to be appointed in their stead be- cause someone happens to have ‘the car of the superintendent? Why were these two appointments made? Why were the Normal School graduates ignred? It is about time that this favoritism in the colored schools shoudl cease. There are about fifteen or sixteen cligible Normal Scho! graduates whose pa- tens have toiled and made sacri- fices to educate their children, and for what? Deserving young men and women ho have succeeded in gradauting from our Normal School, cast aside and others with less ability, but because they have infiuence, have been appointed to positions that rightiully belong to these Normal graduates. Upon whose recommendation were these, “appointmgnts made? ‘These are cases for Congression- al investigation. THE BRUCE REPORT. The special committee that was appointed by the President of the Board of Education to investigate Roscoe Conkling Bruce reminds ‘The Bee of what the Governor of North Carélina said to the Gov- fernor of South Carolina. Tem- perance (7) advocates don’t know the sentiment,” ° The Bee is inclined to believe the commitcé can do nothing more than to convict Brace and dismiss him from the schools. It cannot hide him behind the screen and say O, he is young, and older heads are responsible! or that very reason makes him unfit for the po- sition qi assistant superintendent of schools or any other position in the public schools, and the peo- ple demand his removal. His usefulness in the schools, the Board of Education must ad: mit, is at an end. Information reaches The Bee that Mary Church Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller and a few others domiciled at Howard University, with H. C. Tyson, oi ;North Carolina, Dr, Francis, and a few others, have appealed to cer- ain members of the Board of Edu- ‘cation to overlook and forgive the indiscretion of this young upstart and transfer him to the vacant su- pervising principalship. If he is unfit for assistant superintendent he is unfit for any other position in the schdols. Ninety thousand colored citizens will not be satisfied with the re- .tention of Bruce in the schools. Mary Church Terrell to the contra- ry notwithstanding. This~is not an age for whitewashed reports . THE NEGRO IS PECULIAR. ‘That the Negro 1s a peculiar animal The Bee must admit, and it must agree with Dr. Booker T. asking in his methods to civ- ilize him. ~ This declaration does not apply to every Negro, but more to the so-called educated Negro. The ed: |ucated Negro is more vicious thar those who havn't had the opportu: nities that have been accorded tc htose who have been for years un: der the master’s lash.~ The more ia the Negro is abused, thrash. ed and killed, the. more he seem: to love and appreciate his oppress: ors. He so soon forgets his ben: eiactor, with but one exception, and that exception is that you cari’ pull him away from the Repub- ligan party. He will become angry for a moment, That anger leaves him, and then he is willing and ready to retura to his master and receive the same old thrashing in the same old way, Ii the Negro could’ be taught to rebuke and repudiate those who oppress him he would sitcceed. Dr. Washington has’ the right idea of educating the Negro. That is, the masses. There are some who can be taught and ‘appreciate the higher classics, ‘the arts, and sciences; but the masses should be given industrial education. The Negro lacks manhor«l more than anything’ else. IS CHANCELLOR ILL? + The Board of Education ad- journed last Monday aiternoon to yesterday (Friday) on account of the illness of Dr. Chancellor. » "Just how sick he is,no one seems to know. The Board should send a physician fo the residence of Dr. Chancellor and have him examin- ed. This delay could last until the terms of certain members expire, and then he would be master of the sitwation. There should be no delay in settling Chancellér’s case as well as Bruce’s case.” Both should go at the same time.

Very truly yours, BR Forshker. fhe session of sorrow and memorial services of the Morning Star Lodge, ‘No, 40, Improved, Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks of the World, as- sisted by Forest Temple, No. 9,-Daugh- ters of Elks, was held at True Reform- ery Hall on-Sunday evening at 7.30 p. m. A large crowd was in, attendance. The musical selections were well ren- dered and very highly appreciated by the large audience. Mr. G. B. F. Over- ton acted as master of ceremonies. Ad- dresses were made by the Exalted Ruler, Dr. H. J. Williams; Mr, W. H. Walker, past Exalted Ruler and founder of the lodge; Attorney L. M. King, Dr. C, C. Stewart and others. The following is thg cloquent tribute paid by .Dr. C. C. Stewart to his departed brethren: Ladies and Gentlemen, Sisters and Brethren — I am glad to see so many Present here tonight to pay the last sad ‘tribute to our departed brethren, who in the midst of their great and good work of usefulness were stricken down by the cold and unrelenting hand of death. It clearly demonstrates the fact that death reigns in all portions of time and knocks alike at the door of the hovel and the portal of the palace. Tt feelingly teaches us what mere shad- ows we are, and what shadows We pur- suc. But, however short a man’s life may Le, thére always gathers about it something of love and sympathy, and when jt is gone’ some fond hope or ambition perishes. But though death has deprived us of their services, it has not taken away the result of their labor. For life leaves the body, and the body ‘is borne to the ground, from whence it cometh; but fruits fall to the earth and decay, bat never a froit that did not leave its seed; or never a life inat did not leave its example. The Son of Man's life goes down, but the star of his example remains fixed in the firma- ment All that is mortal of our de~ parted brethren lies in the cemeteries on the outskirts of our city. Loving hands will strew flowers there. These will fade ind wither away, but the monuments they have erected by their generous 2 | Leah E ] cy © < Da \\) 7 i , INRA AER YA Zi oY 2 Ee. deeds to Morning Star Lodge will sur- vive foreyer. No more will we hear their friendly ‘aices in the lodge room or amidst our «<énes of pleasure and pride. But ever will they be with us in spirit, giving us the grasp of friend- ship and brotherly love. When the bright luster of an active mind has been dimmed by age, we feel that nature has claimed its own after the zenith of ca- Pacity has Leen reached; but we stand in awe in the midst of death when its icy touch silences-hps that bave pleaded so, recently in the eloquence of strong manhood, or when its withering breath fells to the ber a man who but yester- day seemed busied in ceaseless activity. <\s friends, as brethren, as citizens, as husbands and as men, and in every re- lation of life, their influence was cle- vating and for good. As the wind that sweeps over a bed of violets and roses bears on its wings their fragrant per- fume, so does a pure life catry with it its fragrance of noble deeds, exempla- ry virtues and Christian graces. But such a life is no barrier to the fell.de- stroyer, and, yielding to its power, our brethren fell; then gave their names back to the lodge again, then slept in peace. O, peaceful be the repose for those who sleep. For the beautful flow- er, scorched by summer's sun or blightet hy aytumn’s frost, it withers.and appar- ently dies; but it docs not die; it only falls. to sleep in the lap of winter and will bloom forth with’a new and grande” glory when the springtime cometh. So it is with our departed brethren; they’ have cnly fallen to sleep on the bosom of our Saviour, there to await until the Father awakes them to the joys of an eternal life. With great satisfaction we review their character, so strong in its structure, so complete in its appoint- ments, so polished in its finish. It seems to me,( brethren and friends, that the example left by such men and the Ies- son taught by it is of higher value :0 the Lodge and the world than all the earthly prizes+ which ambition, wealth, place and power can win. These may sway mankind for a time, but in the halance held by the hand of the Great Judge on the last day will weigh but as a feather against integrity, virtue and piety. It is a pleasing faith that God has planted in the human heart; the germ of an ‘unresting progress, and that in His own time it will unfold a charity strong enough to’ paralyze the ambitions of men for earthly honor. For after all our destiny is decay. To know our end is the lesson of lift, and life in its entire analysis is but a les con. Its preface the crade; its finale the grave. Dust to dust, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, is the idiom of earth voiced by the shroud, the coffin, and the grave. To that Voice, dear ones, we are listening tonight as it comes from the graves of our departed brethren. It also comes from the grave of mother, father, sister, wife, and brother, -our children, sweethearts, and other loved ones. .[ wonder how many are there here tonight saying to themselves that perhaps their names may soon be writ- ten in the journal of death. It is not the all of life to live nor all of death to die; but when we contemplate the life, of a good Christian soldier, when he is sc patient in sickness, so beautifully calm and triumphant in death, and not exclaim, O, let my life be like his; let ny life end like his. Ah! what a sweet reward of a well-spent life, and how consoling in all our sorrow we can pice ture our beloved brethren be led by thy heavenly host while going home to die no more. In conclusion let me say we hope to meet them there,for tonight they are waiting for us at the river. They are watching at the shore to once more give us the grip of friendship and bro- therly love.

Calvin Chase, Jr, associate editor and business manager of the Washing. ton Bee, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Arabella Chase, adn his sister, Mis Beatriz L. Chase, called upon us Mon: day, and inspected our nest and plant. It was the mutual greeting of the Hor- net and the Bee. It is predicted that the lion and wolf shall lie down to- gether, what's the matter with hastening on the prospective day by the fraterniz- ing of similar things.2 And the verdict teo on alll sides says “It was good to be here.” From the Frederick Hornet. We are in hopes and asking here Editor Chase Jr, Mrs. Arabella and ‘Miss Chase for their “cuts” in connec- tion with the writeup they deserve for their very able entertainment they gave here at Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church.

Every part of whe ceuttry fay reed for those whe car 4X:- form all kinds of work. Tuskegee and Hampton men and women are a privi- Teged class in this respect. We have the Privilege of serving our own race and have an opportunity to lift it up, as it were, from the very bottom. The more I observe conditions in the South the more I am convinced that in an increas- ing degree we should make an effort not ‘only to perform this service to our own race, but’ to perform also the service to the white people about us of letting them know the work that is being done for our own people in their midst. It is pathetic that so many of the Southern white people, those who should know most about it, know, in many cases, least of what it going on among our peo- ple as a race. Perhaps any other peo- pic with their environment, with their past, would be just as hard to reach, would know just as little about what is taking place about thet; but I feel that it is one of the duties of institutions like this and of the graduates who go out from such institutions to get hold of the white people and bring them in contact with what our people are do- ing. Very often we take too much for gtanted. My experience teaches me that ‘when people are brought in contact with what is being done they become friends and supporters of the work, I know you hear much that is of a disappoint: ing nature. No individual need hide the fact that there is much that is hard, such that. is unjost, mmc- aa discourage and dishearte- ee mest keep our bepefukie.: “ -—_— HOW THE COLORED 2: ..2 aa WASHINGTON Raise, “yl TY-FIVE THOUSAXD =. ig IN TWENTY-SIX D:.2 “Si aa | ED, | Princpal of Tuskegee 2! | _ Some time agp Mr. J.,-- ee | feller offered to give $25.00 whe erection of a Young Me =; 28 [iocutea building i> +e *c! = Jot the District of Cak~- 5, 8 dition that they worg =. | 2 tional $23,000.

Bruce, No. 2036 Seventeenth street northwest, November 27, 1907, at 7:30 p.m. The bride was Miss Laura Louise Bruce, the daughter of William H. and the late Regenda S. Bruce. The bridegroom was Mr Amphion Glenn, of Oberlin, Ohio, and a member of languages in the M Street High School. In house was tastefully decorated with palms and chrysanthemums. Rev. Prane J. Grimke, of the Fifteenth-St. Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Oscar Mitchell, of Mary's Episcopal Church. The wedding march from Lohengrin was played by an accomplished pianist and sung by a number of young ladies and gentlemen, and announced the entrance of the bridal party. The bride entered the parlor with her father, by whom she was given in marriage, and was met at the chancel by the bridegroom, attained by Assistant District Attorney J. A. Cobb, as best man. The bride-groom and his attendants wore full-dress suits. The bride was handsomely gowned in white duchesse satin, made the Empire Princess style, and trimmed with rose point lace. Her veil was crullie and fastened with a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and Bride Rose. The maid of honor was Miss pale blue chiffon cloth. She carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Miss Carrie Lee, Miss Nina Grimke, Miss Jesse Waring, Miss Jessie Parks and M. Lazzie Howard were the bridesmaids. They wore gowns of lavender, pink, yellow, blue and green chiffon cloth and carried bouquets of chrysanthemums. The ushers were P. M. Bruce, W. Bruce, P. Peters and O. Fearing. After the ceremony the guests were served in the dining room, which was decorated with palms and chrysanthemums. Mr Charles F. M. Browne served the ladies, icees and bride's cake. The presents were very handsome, costly and numerous, consisting of silver, cut glass, china, pictures, rugs, bed and table linen. Among some of her handsome presents is a beautiful opera cape from her stepmother, and a pink silk and late peacoat from Miss Carrie Lee, the wife cousin; silver knives and forks in the Bruce family, and a silver tea service from the Silence family; a hand-pink satin comfort from MrFrank Glenn, a silver chocolate service from the bridegroom's sister; and a number of other costly presents from relatives. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES The closing week of the Exposition was one of enthusiasm. The last three days of the week the attendance was greatly augmented, Thanksgiving Day being by far the greatest of them all, on which day there were present in the Negro Building three thousand. The three days' conference in the Negro Building was perhaps the most in the building, not alone because of the enthusiasm displayed by the speakers, and the general interest taken by all, but it was inspiring to se the old fathers and mothers who were present in the audience rise to give actual experiences of hard-pressed conditions during the days of servitude, and then to contrast those conditions with what they gathered from the exhibits in the NegroBuilding. Though the days of the conference were cold, yet a number came out to witness, the exercises, the question of discussion being "The Past, Present and Future Conditions of the Negro." The principal speakers were Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute; Bishop A. Walters, Prof. R. Kelser, Rev. C. H. Williamson, Lawyer T. C. Walker, Prof. C. H. Johnson, Wilberforce, Ohio; Dr. J. T. Jenifer, Baltimore, Md.; C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C.; Thomas J. Calloway, Giles D. Jackson, and William Isaac Johnson. Old plantation songs were rendered, as they were sung in days of slavery, by members of the audience. The occasion was indeed one which all enjoyed. Many have congratulated the management of the Negro Exhibit upon the neat and clean appearance the Exhibit presents after having been open to so many visitors. Most of the exhibits appear as free from dust as they did the first day they were received. At twelve o'clock Saturday night President Tucker pressed the button, putting out the electric lights and closing the Exposition, reciting the advantages that have come from the Exposition, and the chances for it reopening next year. The Executive Committee of the Negro Exhibit met November 30 to formally close up all matters pertaining to the exhibits. Chairman Calloway says, "No matter what the financial conditions of the Exposition as a whole are, the Negro Exhibit will not fall into the hands of receivers, and has sufficient funds, to reship the exhibits and meet all demands." HIGHEST AVERAGE MADE BY COLORED MAN. Made Best Grade Before State Board of Pharmacy in Examination in Whichi...Were Sixteen, Three Being Negroes. From the West Virginia Advocate. That the Negro wants only a fair field and no favors in any contest of brain or brawn has been again demonstrated. On the 9th of October the State Board of Pharmacy held an examination in this city of those desiring to practice that profession in the State. There were sixteen candidates, three of whom were colored. Of these, six passd—four white and two colored, the highest average by far being made by B. P Brownley, in charge of the Gem Pharmacy of this city, whose average was 931.2. Th other successful applicant of color was W. B. Gray, who also registered from Charleston. In speaking of the papers submitted to them for grading, Dr. Walter C. Price, the local member of the board, who made out the examination, spoke in the very highest terms to an Advocate reporter of Mr. Brownley's work. His papers, he said, were neat, well written and showed a mastery of the theory and practice of his profession possessed by but few of those who have had many more years of experience. One day was devoted to the examination, beginning at nine in the morning and ending about five in the afternoon, with a short intermission for lunch. Before each recess Dr. Brownley was the first to hand in his papers, and this haste was perhaps responsible for his not having made an even higher average. The success of Drs. Brownley and Gray adds additional luster to Howard University, Washington, D. C., from the pharmaceutical department of which they graduated in the class of 1907, and each is being heartily congratulated by his friends and acquaintances for having made such a good showing for himself and race. The others who passed were—C. Y. Abbotts, Louisa, Ky., and Edward Gray, Moundsville, W. Va., registered pharmacists; J. A. Landon, Pocahontas, W. Va., and F. J. Demshock, Keystone, W. Va., assistants. It is reported that Dr. W. B. Bray will locate at Huntington. GONE WEST. Dr. Clarence A. Wright, son of Mr. Thomas H. Wright, of the Department of Justice, and a graduate of the Medical Department of Howard nUiversity, and who recently passed a most creditable examination before the medical Board of Examiners of the District, has gone to Kansas City, Mo., where he will open an office and will be associated with Dr. T. C. Unthank, assistant municipal physician of said city. JAMES W. GRAY. There is no place in this city that has a better reputation for first-class service than Gray's, Pennsylvania avenue near the National Theater. This is one of the most popular resorts in the city, where any lady may go to be accommodated with the best in the market. Mr. Gray has with him Mr. Washington Wood, known as the old, reliable, and his son, who is popular among the boys. Go to Gray's if you want the best in the market. ATTORNEY HOLMES ENTERTAINED. Attorney J. Welford Holmes, a former Washingtonian and at present one of the leading members of the Pittsburg, Pa., bar, and for the past eight years grand secretary of the I. B. P. O. E. W., on his return from Norfolk, Va., where he was the orator of the day at the memorial exercises of the Norfolk Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, was the distinguished guest of several of his friends at the Academy Cafe Wednesday afternoon. The-menu was served in courses, which consisted of Blue Points on half shell, consomme soup, quali on toast, salad, coffee and cigors. Among those present were Past District Deputy of Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, I. B. P. O. E. W., L. Melendez King; District Deputy, Samuel E. Jones, and Exalted Ruler Dr. Harry J. Williams, Dr. W. Bruce Evans and Mr. W. Calvin Chase. Sunday evening, December 1, at eight o'clock was the time appointed for the memorial exercises of the Elks. Accordingly they assembled at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church to listen to a most eloquent sermon by Dr. J. H. Well, the pastor, whose discourse upon the basic principles of the Order was most instructive and appropriate. Dr. E. D. Williston, the medical director of the Order, made a short talk explaining the history and principles of the Elks. His address was pleasing and timely, and served to show to the public the proper status of the Order. The Elks are becoming a power in this community, and an organization that will merit the commendation of the people. The eulogy was delivered by Mr. B. L. Gaskins, the brilliant young attorney of the District Bar. Mr. Gaskins deserves special commendation for his well-prepared and scholarly address. The Elk Quartette was one of the features and the rendition of the numbers was simply perfect. To be appreciated one must hear. The Elk soloist is a baritone of wonderful range of voice. Impromptu addresses were made by the guests present. The occasion was a most delightful one. At the meeting of the Crispus Attucks Association Monday evening the following officers of the association were elected: President, Dr. W. S. Lofton; vice president, Stewart M. Lewis; second vice president, Willis J. Smith; third vice president, James H. Coleman; recording secretary, J. C. Burlls; financial secretary, James A. Payne; assistant financial secretary, W. L. D.

I should do wrong if I left the impression that the white people of Washington were not interested and had not aided in the raising of this money. The committee in charge was composed of both white and colored men. President Wilbur P. Thirkield was president. Many others were generous in the aid they lent to the enterprise. The erection of such a building, so largely through the efforts of the colored people themselves, will have a far-reaching influence for good in the community. One prominent business man has tried to express the thing in figures; he said, "This is worth a million dollars to the city." The success of the effort to build subscriptions amounted to $31,000. At the present time it has reached the sum of $45,000. About one-half of this money has been paid in. With this money a lot has been purchased at a cost of $9,000. It is now proposed to raise the amount of money to be expended on the land, building and equipment to $100,000. Part of this sum will undoubtedly be furnished by the central association. It is believed the rest of that amount can be obtained in Washington. With this sum it will be possible to erect a building that is in every way adequate and architecturally beautiful. It should be a monument to the good will of the people of Washington and to the self-sacrifice of the colored ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Silver Toilet Set. Jewelers ask $3.50. Our price, $1.98.

It is believed that other cities, North and South, will follow the example of Washington and Kansas City. Meanwhile the generous enthusiasm which united all classes and all denomiantions in the effort to accomplish this good work has created a spirit of co-operation and a sense of solidarity among the colored population of Washington which will be of lasting good both to them and to the city.

Before cleaning windows, remove all the dust. If the paint requires cleaning do this first, taking care not to scrub, as this removes both paint and dirt. Varnished wood should be rubbed with a piece of charnels leather wrung out of cold water, and then polished with a soft duster. For cleaning windows some people use ammonia in the proportion of one tablespoonful to a gallon of water, but the work can be performed quite as efficiently and much more quickly by using clean water and two good chamois leathers, one for washing the glass and the other for polishing it. See that the wash leathers are quite clean, and do not make the glass so wet that the water drips from it. Have plenty of clean water and change it frequently. Dip the chamois in this and rub the panes, taking care that the corners are not forgotten. Wring the cloth tightly and go over the surface of the glass a second time. Polish with the other wash leather. Linen or cotton cloths should not be used, as they frequently leave pieces of down on the glass, especially if used when the latter is not dry. A window cannot be properly cleaned when the sun is shining on it. During frost the least touch of the hand is liable to crack the glass. To keep the windows free from frost apply a little glycerine on a dry duster, and a brilliant polish will be the result. This is also excellent for preventing windows from steaming if rubbed on inside of the glass after the windows are cleaned. If a little kerosene oil is added to the water used for cleaning purposes it will prevent files from settling on the window, and has the additional merit of giving a clear and brilliant polish. The brightness of the window panes gives an air of cheerfulness to a house; if these are smeary and dirty one often finds that the housewife is careless and neglectful in other details of household management. In order that an objectionable view may be shut out, dissolve some epsom salts in hot water and make it as strong as possible. Then wash it over the glass while hot with a brush. It will soon cool and deposit the salts in a crystalline form on the window, and when the water has evaporated the panes will be found beautifully frosted. The windows must be quite covered with the liquid and care must be taken that it does not run or the pattern will be spoiled. Savings In Old Clothes Run a basting thread of contrasting color under your velvet ribbon or folds on wash dresses and when dress is washed your basting will show you just where to sew your ribbon on again without the trouble of measuring all again. Embroidery or handkerchiefs which have an open-work edge can be made stronger by crocheting a row of single crochet around. Old dress skirts which are worn around bottom or are too short can be made into petticoats. Wash, cut into a gored pattern (dive or seven gores), get some lining to match, put ruffles around bottom, and you have a nice, warm underskirt. Cucumber Pickle A very simple rule for cucumber pickles, which is well worth trying, as it entails very little trouble, is to pare and slice two dozen cucumbers and one dozen small onions. Sprinkle them with salt, and allow them to drain well in a colander. Then place them in a bowl, adding one quart of vinegar, one cup of olive oil, one-quarter of a cup each of black and white mustard seed, one-teaspoonful of celery seed, and one-quarter teaspoonful of powdered slum. Mix thoroughly and seal in slint cans. Cucumber Belish To four dozen large cucumbers add one dozen green peppers, two ounces each of white and black mustard seed, three dozen white onions, half a dozen red peppers, and one ounce of celery seed. Chop fine; sprinkle with salt, and let it stand over night. In the morning drain well and boil three quarts of vinegar, one pound of brown sugar, and the spices together. Pour over the cucumbers and put in airtight jars. Onion Soup. Into a baking dish put a pound of meat in slices, in layers, upon two sliced onions, two sliced carrots, two ounces of rice, and a pint of whole peas that have been soaked over night. Cover with a gallon of water, put pan over dish and put into hot oven four hours. The result is delicious. Add Apples to Grape Jelly In making grape jelly one will find that a rich flavor may be obtained by adding eight good sized apples to one basket of grapes. By using three-fourths sugar to one cup of juice jelly will keep longer and not turn to sugar. Dress Baby on Table. A small kitchen table or sewing table is a great help in dressing and bathing baby if it is padded and then covered with a removable cover of heavy canton saunel lined with rubber sheeting. JOKE ON "UNCLE JOE" CANNON. Washington—Senator Hemenway, of Indiana, than who there is no one closer to Speaker Cannon, told one of his good stories about the speaker on his recent visit to Washington. "The speaker prides himself on his ability to pick out a good cigar," said the senator. "In fact, his own great weakness is for a good cigar and he will spend 25 cents for a cigar any day and economize by buying a cheap hat. Back in the fifty-seventh congress, when Mr. Cannon was chairman of the house committee on appropria- THE JOSEPH G. CANNON. tions., I was in the house restaurant one day taking lunch with several other members of the committee. After lunch I offered to buy cigars all around and stepping up to the cigar counter picked out a box of large cigars that looked good and told the boys to help themselves. I fully expected to pay 50 cents for three of them, at least, and was greatly surprised when I called for the bill and found it was only 50 cents for 12—six for a quarter cigars. "I naturally made no outward comment about the cheapness of my purchase and inwardly hoped that no other member knew what I had done. In fact, I was greatly embarrassed and kept a weather eye on the whole party, expecting somebody to become sick any minute. We wandered back to the committee room and sat there smoking several minutes before 'Ucle Joe' came 'In. "When he did finally join us I, of course, instantly proffered him one of the cigars. He took it and was soon wrapped in silence and cigar smoke. Presently he turned to me and said: 'Jim, this is certainly a fine cigar, one of the best I ever smoked. Where did you get them?' I told him downstairs in the restaurant. Calling the committee messenger to him, he handed him a crap new one dollar bill and told him to get a dollar's worth of the same brand for him. You can readily imagine how he looked when the messenger came back with a whole box full." ITALIAN SOLDIERS ARE AGILE. Members of Famous Bersaglieri Require Great Endurance. Rome.—The fame of the Italian Bersaglieri is by no means confined to the Italian peninsula. The training the Training the Bersaglieri. men in this famous force are subjected to is of the most extraordinary character. Every one of the many drills in physical exercises has been devised with the sole idea of making the men in the corps nimble, quick and daring. They are known as "The Black Devils of the Italian Army" and date from 1836, when they were organized in the Sardinian army by Gen. la Marmora. There are 12 regiments of the Bersaglieri, and their particular business is as sharpshooters. It requires some endurance to be a member of the corps, for even when they are used in maneuvers the tactical movement is nearly always made in the mountains, where their exercises in vaulting, turning somersaults and walking greasy poles stand them in good stead. In the picture they are shown climbing poles with their bicycles strapped to their backs. The wheels used are specially designed for their work, being so arranged that they can be folded and thus more easily carried on a march across difficult mountain passes where bicycle riding would be impossible. The corps is particularly mobile and, being composed of excellent marksmen, is a particularly valuable asset of King Victor Emmanuel's army. MEALS FOR SUNDAY MEALS FOR SUNDAY HOW THE DAY'S LABOR MAY BE LIGHTENED. Light Breakfast, Fairly Substantial Midday Luncheon, and Chafing Dish Supper Are Sufficient for Family's Needs. There is much to be said in favor of a light breakfast on Sunday morning and a midday luncheon, or dejeuner, with a not chafing dish supper at night. The dejeuner can be as satisfying at a dinner and yet consist of such dishes as maitre - a formal breakfast or luncheon. The things for it can be prepared largely the day before. Of course, it is not like the American breakfast, with cereals, but with fish, chops, cutlets, salad and dessert. Supposing that a tomato soup comes first in cups, and the sliced chicken laid around some stewed mushrooms. With these potato chips or potato croquettes. Then an apple and celery salad with cheese crackers, and any kind of nice jam with crackers and coffee. The soup may be made the day before and reheated, and the chicken likewise. There is only the trouble of either making the potato chips or reheating some, or making the croquettes. Baked potatoes would answer, or those glazed in slices. Apple and celery salad is soon made. In short, such a meal need-not make excessive work. Here is a good menu for a supper for any benevolent object where facilities for cooking a full dinner are possible: Cream of Celery or Tomato Soup. Bolled Fish. Roast Beef. Egg Sauce. Sweet Potatoes. Onlons. Or instead of the beef course Fried Oysters with Chicken Salad. Desserts should be a choice of Mince Pie, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, or Ice Cream and Cake. Coffee. Tea. This menu, with the introduction of an apricot ice and the substitution of puddings for some of this pastry, is a typical Philadelphia menu, and was served here recently at a table d'hote restaurant, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The puddings were tapioca and brown betty. Many of these things would be donated for a church or hospital or prepared beforehand. This would leave the finishing of the celery soup or the reheating of the tomato soup, the roasting of the beef and cooking of the potatoes and onions and oysters, and making of the tea and coffee. Salad and pastry could be brought there ready for use. Should this menu be used for a home on some of the approaching holidays, then something the same idea of previous preparation could be followed. If the beef course be adopted and the fried oysters and chicken salad omitted, then serve a plain lettuce salad after the beef or serve coleslaw with it. Where given the apricot ice was brought on between the fish course and the beef, so as to refresh the palate, and not to have the apricot ice come too close to the ice cream of the dessert. Southern Maple Cake Melt two cups of maple sugar and let it become partly cool, add one cup of honey, one and one-half cups of buttermilk in which has been dissolved a level teaspoon of baking soda; add a pinch of salt, a scant cup of butter, two well beaten eggs, flour to make a stiff sponge, splices to suit the taste, one cup of citron and one dozen plums (halved). Dredge the fruit well with flour and add it after the sponge has been thoroughly beaten. Add one cup of preserved gooseberries or currants; pour two inches deep in a pan lined with buttered paper and bake in a slow oven. Italian Potatoes Boil the potatoes and mash in the usual way. For each quart of potatoes add four tablespoonfuls of sweet cream, four of grated cheese, beaten yolks of two eggs, one tablespoonful of melted butter, and salt to taste. Have the potatoes very hot, add the other ingredients and beat to a foam. Lastly add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and beat, again. Pile on a platter, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in a quick oven until the top is a delicate brown. Grange Jam for Invalids Wash the grapes and take out the pulps. Place the pulps and skins in separate vessels and cook until tender. Put through a colander and get rid of the seeds. To each pint of pulp allow one pound of granulated sugar. Allow another pound for each pint of skin. The juice must be pressed thoroughly out of the skins. Put pulp and juice and sugar together and boll until thick. Add the skins and boll two minutes. Put into jars and seal. Convenient Floor Map Pad well with old flannel the sawed-off end of a broomstick. Tack over this a piece of silkolene to make a thick, loose brush (about four yards). As there is no lint on it, this makes the finest cleaner imaginable for hardwood floors and baseboards. It is easy to use, no trouble to shake dust out of, and when really solled it takes only a few minutes to wash and dry. Potato Entree. Slice thin three medium sized raw potatoes into a baking dish, slice one medium sized onion, put in a layer of potatoes mixed with the onion, a few cracker crumbs, cover with cheese sliced thin. Do this until dish is full, then pour over all a little milk; bake slowly one hour. THE COMING ELECTION. How the District Will Be Divided.

The sculptor Is Burr C. Miller. The piece was on exhibition in the salon fn -Paris this year and was the only one of 460 pleces in bronze to receive honorable mention. Gen, Herkimer was at the head of 800 hastily recruited “militiamen and Yolunteers, most of them his friends and neighbors, who set out in July, 1777, to take rellef to Col. Gansevoort and his 750 followers In Fort Schny- ler. St. Leger's forces had" marched up the St. Lawrence on the Canadian side, crossed over at Oswego and, pass- {ng through the Mohawk valley, were favesting the fort. St. Leger’s forces consisted of 800, white men and 1,000 Indians, the latter under the command of the famous Brant, head of the Six Natlons, Gen. Herkimer sent word to Col. Gansevoort of the relief that was com- ing and asked that a sortle be made from the fort when the relieving forces came up, so that the enemiy’s attention might be distracted. When he got near the fort Gen. Herkimer waited for the signal from Gansevoort. It didn't come, and his young recrults began to chide hint for the delay. He refused at first to risk the sacrifice of life which he knew an advance with his 800 men would -en- tail, He continued to-walt, but the re; marks of some of his officers and sol- dlers became more Insulting. They accused him finally to his face of be- ing a coward and a Tory. The end of it was that against his better judg- ment he gave the order to advance. * St. Leger had heard of his arrival and had sent a detachment to inter- ey ery PE it: (gra pe ~ 5 OY ode '¢ pe ‘anes oi Ge Hd S LAM | eee (aaa ings = Eee coo JIE ZZ” cg CUE TIES SUAS SL TICE UNET, We Vo cept him. As the militia advanced in hasty march through a wooded ravine | near Oriskany the British regulars in ambush at the other end and the In. dians on both sides opened fire. The | rear guard of the Americans was cut off from the main body and was dis- persed. Early in the conflict Herkimer had his horse shot from under him and a Uttle later a bullet shattered his left leg just below the knee. When his friends urged him to leave the field he replied: “No, I pill face the enemy.” * He ordered the saddle’ removed from his fallen horse and had it placed on a stump near by. Seated on this, with the wounded leg, which had been hastily bandaged, hanging from one side, he issued his ordets and received the reports of his subordinates. With his friends and neighbors fall- ing on all sides of him, and suffering agony himself, he coolly took his tin- der box, steel and flint from his pock- } et and lit his pipe. The statue shows him with the pipe in one hand, while with the other he is directing his forces, His coolness Infused new ardor Into the men. They fell to fighting the In- dians and British in thelr own fashion ‘from behind rocks and trees, and | finally, alded by a sally from the fort, they forced the attacking party to re- treat. About one-third of the militis fell on the battlefield and many more were carried Into captivity. Herkimer was carried on a litter to ‘his house, 35 miles away. The ampu- tation of his leg was badly done and he died ten days later. In his last mo- ments he called for a Bible and read .to those about him the psalm begin- ning: . ’ “0 Lord, rebuke me ‘not in thy wrath, nelther chasten me in thy hot | displeasure.” : .

She was preceptress In two or more senools of con{derable standing, and !n 1866 went to Wash- Ington, where she taught until 1868, There she -was married to Rev. Ezeklel Lockwood, who dled in 1877. | In May, 1873, Mrs. Lockwood had graduated from the Natiopal uni- versity law school at Washington. Over her admission to the bar of the supreme court there was a bitter con- test, but she won, as she did in the later fight for entrance to the court of claims. She built up an extensive and profit- able law business, and In 1884 ‘was nominated by the equal rights party ot San Franelsco for president of this country. She accepted, and made a most creditable and astonishingly strong fight. She was also a candi- date at the next national election. Mrs. Lockwood Is still a very active member of the {nternational peace bu- reat, and occasionally practices law, but has virtually retired. WHITE MICE ON BRITISH FLAG. Novel Design Adopted by Submarine : Branch of Navy. London.—The submarine branch of the British navy bas recently adopted for its exclusive use a novel flag of a design hitherto unknown to the Col- lege of Heralds. The pennant Is of three colors—red, blue and yellow— representing the three submarine depots of Portsmouth, Devonport and Chatham, and is divided {nto four 7 ae Af rake i Cis ne | ae 9 eG gar Ls \\ FLAG OF BRITISH SUBMARINES, quarters. In one division appears a submarine and In another three tor- pedoes, while the otter two are adorned with white mice. The right of these tittle animals to a place on the flag may be a Ilttle puzzling to the lay mind, but, as a matter of fact, no submarine ever goes to sea with- out some of these creatures on board. ‘They are extremely sensitive to the presence cf gas and thelr actions en- able the slightest leak to be stopped in time, thus preventing accidents. Btrletly Business. “Young man,” sald the old gentle- man as he shufied into the parlor, “I believe—in fact, I know—that you and my daughter are rapidly edglig to- ward matrimony.” : “It is true, sir,” replied the poor but otherwise honest youth, “and while I am obliged to confess that it will have to be a case of love In a cottage, still Le “That's all right, young man,” inter- rupted the stern parent. “Love In a cottage is the true ideal of happiness. You have my consent;—” “Oh, thank you, sir!” exclaimed the ym. “Upon one condition,” continued the old gentleman, “and that is, you must be able to show me the deed for the cottage. Good-night, young man.” Cars Kill Many Peopte. Coroner Harburger of New York, has compiled figures which. show that the city’s trolley cars kill one person every fifteen hours. He ascribes this enormous death rate to the lack of means for properly controlling cars. RISE AND FALL OF — WALL STREET FIGURE. Wrecked by Recent Financlal Flurry Organized Gigantic Ice Trust Which Made Its Stockhold- ers Wealthy, New York.—Charles W. Morse, who a few years ago went from Maine to New York with but small capital and in a short time humillated the great captains of industry of the metropo- Us by gaining control of a dozen or more banks, and becoming the owner of acres of real estate and bales of tich stock, not to mention his connec- tion with the fce trust and his great consolidated steamship lines, is com- pletely down and out. He was elim- inated from the banking field of New York recently by the clearing house committee, and the great steamship lines of which he was the brain and push are to be reorganized with Morse left out of some of them at least. Morse was born at Bath, Me., in 1856, the son of a tow-boatman on the Kennebec. After graduating from col- lege, he returned home to find his father's business grown to consider- able proportions, Morse, Sr., having a big fleet of up-to-date tugs, and “on the side" were excursion barges, natural ice plants all up and down the river. Young Morse was installed as bookkeeper, but the field was not large enough for him, and he lett home for New York, where he began by speculating In Ice by the cargo, in hard pine lands, in hard pine car- goes, In “pieces” of schooners and steamers and tugs, . ‘Then followed the big fleet of ocean carriers and tugs and the {ce inter- ests were constantly expanding both on, tbe main rivers and the coast, and in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington fields as well. Nine years after Morse went to New York there was but one tee company of any importance, and at the head pl eee | hi Wife NI aoe! ke 9 TH Wiggs | II A! ; iy ~ SVE CARIES MOUSE of that company was Charles W Morse. Mayor Van Wyck and severa other politicians were Interested tr the company, and it made vast wealtl for its stockholders, one year clearin; more than $1,500,000, Then Morse became a banker. The Sarfield National bank wag his paren’ Institution. In time he dominated chain of banks all up and down Broad way. “In the banking business he became /assoclated with F, Augustus Helnze, of the United Copper syndicate, anc -when the United Copper syndicate hit Heinze, Morse, who {s sald to have sold 17,000 shares of United Copper thus showed the weakness of the syn. dicate and, it is believed, caused the smash which resounded around the world and for a time threatened to cause a financial panic. * Then followed the action of the clearing house committee. Morse was promptly ellminated from the follow- ing Institutions, his resignations being demanded by the committee: Resigned as vice president and dl- tector of National Bank of North America, Garfield National bank, New Amsterdam National bank, and as di- rector of Mercantile Natlonal bank, Fourteenth Street bank, New York Mortgage & Security company, New York Produce Exchange bank, Van Norden Safe Deposit company and Van Norden Trust company. Immediately came the actions which forced Morse out of two more of his strongholds, the Consolidated Steamship Unes and the American Ice company. A plan for the reorgantza- tion of the Ice company has been drawn up whereby Morse will have no further control fn tts management. Morse 1s therefore completely down and out, and, his former associates, the Helnzes and Thomases, blame him for the collapse of their “copper car- ner. ‘There are reports that J. P. Morgan & Co. and the New York, New Haven & Hartford raflroad have entered the affairs of the shipping combine with powerful influence. Thus was fore- shadowed the possibility of a greater combine, Including the Morse com- panles and the New Haven road's marine Ines, to control the entire American coastwia® shipping trade of the Atlantic and the gulf.

New York—Sir Anthony Patrick MacDonnell, permanent, under secre- tary for Ireland, is on his way to the United States, but just what his mis- sion to this country is, is known only to himself. It is safe to confecture, however, that it ts to explain to the Irish leaders on this side of the water why he has falled to get Ireland home rule and @ land act that would turn the property of the land owners over te the peasantry. These were the aims he had in view when he entered MEE Sp ao ~~ is i rhe a 2 7 Hf - oy Mae a kee oe Be, HSS, 7 a 7 p Ww DP ex ea AGN a Jd A & an S Ce chai, / Reg et a wy Sy Care ~ ar NS i \\ . a SS SIR ANTHONY MACDONNELL. his present position under Mr. Wynd- ham. Not only was he a staunch Roman Catholfe ‘and home ruler, but an in- tense radical as well, and the con- servatives writhed in horror at the idea of their leaders making MacDon- ‘nell virtual dictator of Ireland. For ‘Mr. Wyndham was not a strong man, while Sir Anthony Is strength per- sonified. He bad learned in India how ito take the land from the big land holders and return it to the people. Before accepting the office he stated his views to Mr. Wyndham and {n- sisted- upon 2 written pledge that he should have a free hand. Immediste- ly he set to work to make himself ‘solid with the Irish people. He won the support of the clergy, he manipu- lated the police in a way that won him the affection of the people who re- ‘gard the police as thelr natural ene- mies, and he traveled the whole length of Ireland to plead with rapacious landlords not to evict help- less tenants. It was not long, however, before the tories of the old school raised a howl against the unlimited power giv- en to Sir Anthony, and Mr. Wyndham had to drop out after the reading of the agreement in parliament. This made no difference to Sir Anthony, for he remained {n his office under Mr. Long. who succeeded Wyndham, and Was as much of a power as ever. The party papers denounced the under sec- retary and all his works, but the gov- ernment still retained him, It found itself in the position of the man who. had a bear by the tall—he couldn't hold on and he dare not let go. |, When the Balfour government was defeated Sir Anthony remained as the adviser of the liberal government. Mr. Bryce became his chief and at the same time his tool. Mr. Bryce was n0 more successful than elther of bis predecessors, for the Sinn Feln move- ment, which sought to separate Ire- land by strictly legal means, ‘had grown up and’ was working at cross purposes with Sir Anthony. Prof. Bryce gave up and Mr. Birrell took his place. Sir Anthony advised the “devolution” bill, which the Irish peo- ple, investigated by the Sinn Fela, re- fused to accept, Nor were bis land measures more popular, and Mr. Bir- rell came to the conclusion that sir? Anthony was the champion of a lost, cayse. It came to a teat of will power between a dour Scotchman and an obstinate Irishman, and the former seems to have prevailed. Hence Sir Anthony's trip to America. 7 Sir Anthony entered the Indian civil service as 2 young man. He rose to the very highest position in the sery- Ice, Meutenant governor of Bengal, and subsequently governor of the northwest provinces, He did much to reform the land tenure of Bengal. It was his dearest wish to do even more for his natlye. land, and this {s why, after retiring on a pension, he ac cepted the under secretaryship for Treland. QUEER AND SLY CRIMINALS. Journeymen Barbers Who Make.Thelr Living by Stealing. “There's a queer and nasty kind of criminal that we call the barber thief,” sald Lecoq the detective. “He ts a Journeyman barber who lifts your scarfpin while he Is shaving you. “These rascals bave learned some- how or other to shave and haircut fairly well. They go everywhere In the rush season—California or Floriga in the winter. Atlantic City in the sum- mer, and so on-and there the over worked boss barber, with handsscarce, Js only too glad to take them on, and to take them on without references. “It doesn’t take a clever barber thief long to make a good haal.

The Negroes of Philadelphia own 802 Pieces of property valued at $2,438,675, which is an average of about $3040 each: The largest number of properties are valued between $1000 and $3000, and nearly three-fourths of them are $3000 and under. The highest single valua- tion is $28,000 and the lowest a lot for $75. Though the assessed valuation is supposed to approximate as nearly as possible the rea] value of the property, still, after careful comparison, I am of the opinion that the above represents an investment of between four and a half and five million dollars by the Ne- groes concerned, Besides the above there are about forty church edifices owned by Negroes valued at from ‘$1000 to ‘$400,000. There are many Negroes who own teal estate outside of the city, Two arc known to the writer to have more than $25,000 worth of real estate in other places, while many others own a lot or small farm outside of Philadelphia. The largest individual Negro property holder in the city owns not less than twenty- three city houses, assessed at from $9000 to $18,000, and own property also in New Jersey and Virginia. He was born in Virginia of slave parents, and came to Pennsylvania after he was twenty-one years of age. He has steadily built up a good business, and amassed a large amount of real etate, besides being finan- cially interested in many of the business and industrial movements among the Negroes of the city.—Richard R.Wright. Jr, in the Southern Workman. Our old friend, W. E Fletcher, car- rier at the Postoffice, has been assigned to day duty.
