VOL.27 NO.31 Libertv Where is Thy Throne? TORNEY JONES SPEAKS -HE LECTRIFIES HIS AUDIENCE not prominent citizens in the States, doctors, lawyers, preachers, and every profession in life. Among some of the speakers were: E. J. Waring, J. C. Asbury, Rev. G. L. P. Taliferro, D.D., and Attorney Thomas L. oJnes, of Washington, D. C., who was the principal speaker at this great meeting. When he was introduced he received an ovation and during the delivery of his address he was enthusiastically applauded. He spoke in part as follows: Mr President, Members of the Baptist Young People's Union of the City of Philadelphia, Fellow Citizens, and Friends: I am not unmindful of, nor am I insensible to, the distinguished honor you do me in inviting me here to address you in these your most interesting, and praeworthy, and instructive exercises. The proceedings of an occasion like this are such as should be couched in noble eloquence, monumented in bronze, and sent to posterity in poetry and in song. The scene which greets me at this hour is one most thrilling and calculated to move the dullest heart and to awaken in the breast of every auditor in this vast assembly a spirit of joy and inspiration. The Baptist Young People's Union is an organization of devoted Christian souls that was not born to die, because the principles upon which it is found have their home in heaven and their origin in the bosom of God. This institution which is dedicated to God and humanity is a co-ordinate branch of the Baptist Church, one of the greatest denominations of baptized believers that has ever gone forth under God to re-encrate and redeem a sin-cursed world. As a member of the Union it was my pleasure as the representative of the Young People's Union of the District of Columbia, to make the address of welcome to the delegates and visiting friends to the great National Convention which convened in the city of Washington on the eleventh day of last September. This indeed was not only an honor to me, and the organization of the Young People's Baptist Union, but it was a signal recognition of your influence and power as a potent force and indispensable factor in the Baptist Church itself, and the influence which the Union wielded by the promulgation of its principles and objects, before that great national gathering won for itself unfading laurels and made an impression in the hearts of the delegates to that convention, that will not be forgotten until Judgment, I take it for granted that, as members of the Young People's Baptist Union, you are all full-fledged Baptists, and that you believe in all of its creeds, tenets, policies, and dogmas; therefore, in the name of God, let us here tonight in this August Presence, pledge the denomination of our choice, our tears, our prayers, our sacrifices and influence in a grim determination to forever keep alive the principles of baptism that were born in the manger, reflected in the waters of the Jordan, and finally burst full-orbed from the summits of Calvary on the day when God's only Son was put to a cruel and shameful death for the sins of a doomed world. Let it be understood, however, that our resolution and determination thus announced is not a spasmodic conclusion of a moment, nor are they born of the blazing fires of enthusiasm that sweep over this occasion, but they are the legitimate offspring of the love we bear the cause the Baptist denomination represents; a cause that believes in the Divine injunction that "of one blood God has made all nations to dwell together on the face of the earth," a cause founded upon the eternal principles of Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, as enunciated in the Ten Commandments, Christ's Sermon upon the Mount, the Declaration of American Independence, and the Constitution of the United States. This Union with lofty aims and purposes of higher resolve, planting itself upon these cardinal principles of righteousness, does here and now declare war against the sins and iniquities of this nation, and in this contest against thee giant evil of the land, let us invoke the aid of Heavenly Power to aid us in the evil hour. To attack the forces of evil in the sinful age in which we live demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; "Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who can stand before the demagogue And damn his treacherous flattery without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the pettifog In public duty and private thinking. For when the rabble with their thumbworn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife; lo! Freedom weeps; Wrong rules the land, and weeping —Justice sleeps" The age in which we live recks with injustice, greed, hypocrisy, and corruption. The giant forces of evil are everywhere silently at work, slowly but surely, undermining this great republic, and when we note the inactivity on the part of the Christian Church to expose and check the onward march of these evils, and when we know that the path of sin in which the nation treads will only lead to destruction, when we contemplate all of these things we feel like the great Prophet Jeremiah, who, standing on the mountain top of antiquity, and observing the idolatry and sins of his people, cried out in the anguish of his soul, saying, "Oh, that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughters of my people." I assert before high Heaven that this nation is in coppartnership and living in open adultery with many of the giant forces of evils that are training their guns against the destiny of the republic, and which are doing much to poison the minds of the young people of the land against the sacred dogmas of Christianity in the hope of crippling and destroying the influence of the Christian Church. This government harbors in its bosom the same poisonous reptiles which cut the throats of ancient governments and consigned them to the tomb of oblivion, leaving not even a sign or inscription to commemorate their existence among the sons of men. Fellow citizens, let me remind you that no government or people can have any permanent endurance where God is not the foundation stone upon which the superstructure of their civilization is reared, and where liberty and justice are not the common heritage of all. A nation that forgets God and builds upon any other foundation may be likened unto the man who built his house upon the sand. For the forgetfulness of God fosters crime, crime breeds anarchy, anarchy begets revolution, revolution despotism, despositism injustice, and injustice and these combined is death to any nation. This fact is graphically pictured in the history and governments of Assyria, Nineveh, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and the great Roman Empire, which in the zeith of their glory drove the ploughshare of destruction through their sister States, erected thripnes over the graves of slaughtered citizens, dedicated palaces with trophies dyed in blood, and made the whole earth to resound with groans and shrieks of dying victims, while Rachel was weeping for her children because they were not. Walk with me by way of imagination, my friends, back through the dusky centuries, to the graveyards of these dead nations and amidst the awful shadows of their departed glory let us learn a lesson from their tombs. Stand up, Assyria! with that Ninevitish Dove upon thy emerald brow, and tell us the awful story of your downfall. Leaning against the tombstone with eyeless sockets and fleshless limbs, she staggers forth and says: "It was the forgetfulness of God that laid me low; I fell by my own acts of injustice and Nineveh and Babylon slumber with me here." Oh, queenly Persia, who bridged the Hellespont with ships and fed upon the life's blood of the people, why are you here? With quivering lips and an awful mind, grasping at her once imaginary power, she says: "I fell by my own misdeeds." Oh, thou Muse-like Greece, fairest of all thy sisterhood of States, Greece which once enchanted the world with its witchery of art and most seductive song, why lay you here in (Continued to Page 4.)

WHY I PROHIBITION SHOULD NOT EXIST IN THIS CITY. The following is a copy of the letter sent to members of the Senate and House of Representatives, presented by Hon. J. A. Goulder, of the Eighteenth New York District. December 16, 1907. Dear Sir: During the sessions of the Sixtieth Congress you will probably be asked to consider legislation in regard to the sale of malt and spirituous liquors in the District of Columbia. We feel that the matter will receive your fair and earnest consideration. In the stress of fulminating appeal to which you will be subjected the fact should not be lost sight of that the interest we represent has vested rights, the same as any other business. We are not without the pale of legitimate enterprise as our demagogic opponents would have you believe. Having con- THE NEW YORKER ducted our business along fair and honorable line, we respectfully submit that any further restrictive measures aimed at it here in the National Capital would be unwarranted. Why experiment on Washington to find a panacea for the ills, fancied or real, of other localities of this great and broad country of ours? S such a procedure would be distinctly unfair. Should you feel that our business needs added restrictions we invite the most thorough personal investigation on your part. Nowhere will you find the liquor trade carried on in a more honorable manner. Drunkenness is not frequent here, and crime, the concomitant of all over-indulgence, is at a minimum. Considering the character and numbers of our people, the percentage of crime here in the District of Columbia is comparatively small. An inspection of the court records will reveal that only a slight percentage of the licensed liquor dealers of Washington have sinned against the laws in late years. Through a well-directed effort we are hopeful that the succeeding years will show a clean slate. We feel sure that the people of the District are eminently satisfied with the present form of government, and desire no change, and respectfully ask that the Congress 'stand pat' on the present excise laws. You must realize the magnitude of the prohibition question. Should prohibition prohibit—and the reverse has proved the rule wherever it has been tried—tariffs would have to be rearranged in order to make up a deficit in Federal revenues, for it must be borne in mind that one-third of the Government's income comes from internal revenue. The sovereign right of a State to deprive the Federal Government of its internal revenue seems to be established. But when a State, after successive legislative acts, shuts down the manufacturing establishments paying the internal revenue, asks from the Federal Government appropriations for river and harbor improvements, rural free deliveries; public buildings and expects protection against lawlessness and against foreign enemies, does not the question arise: Can the prohibition States expect that the moneys paid into the United States Treasury by anti-prohibition States, in the form of internal revenues, should be expended for the benefit of prohibition States? Equal protection for equal taxation is a standard maxim, and it does not seem fair that the so-called "dry" States should share alike with the 'wet' States in the proposed munificent appropriation for rivers and harbors and other improvements. This prohibition, wave sprang up in the South, designed, we are, told, to offset the demoniacal tendencies of the colored brother in that section, due to his intemperate use of intoxicants. Prohibition will not only fail of its purpose in that quarter, but deny to that great mass of American freeman, white and black, the boon of personal liberty. Granting for the nonce that the Negro of the South requires the leash of prohibition in order to make him a safe citizen, there is certainly no need of such paternalism here in Washington. What the intemperate Negro of the South needs is education, as do all other peoples, of whatever color or clime, who are given to excesses. Let the States that feel the need of prohibition build up their educational systems as has been done here in Washington; let the churches and other religious organizations proselytize for temperance in speech, in drinkables and eatables, and in the use of tobacco and a thousand and one other things for which humankind has its failings, and we shall all share in the golden mean of perfection. Very truly yours, "PATRIOTISM KNOWS NO COLOR." The Army of the Cumberland, Ohio and Tennessee celebrated the anniversary of the "Crowning Victories of the West" on Tuesday night at Masonic Temple, Ninth and F streets Northwest. The veterans refought the Civil War as they recounted prominent battles around the banquet table. Letters of regret were sent by Secretary Loeb, acting for the President; Vice President Fairbanks, Gen. James W. Wilson, Secretary Cortelyou, Gen. O. O. Howard and Senator Allison. Speaker Cannon telephoned that he was "so consarned busy" that he could not possibly be present. Justice Harlan, who was a soldier of the Civil War, made a stirring speech and said: "The men who served in the great war are going down the valley one by one, and it is entirely fitting that those who are yet remaining should gather together and shake hands whenever it is possible." Among the other prominent speakers were: Congressman Hull, Major Wham, Col. John Tweedale, Capt. L. M. Kelly, Gen. John C. Black and Col. John A. Joyce. Gen. T. J. Henderson served as chairman. Music was furnished by Prof. John T. Layton, Mr. Henry Stafham, Mr. Abram R. F. Springstein, Master Turner Layton accompanied all the soloists, sang two selections, and furnished all the instrumental music of the evening. When Colonel McElvoy introduced Professor Layton he said: "Patriotism knows no color. I know of no one, black or white, who can sing war songs better than or as well as Comrade Layton, and he can't be excelled in singing 'The Star Spangled Banner.'" BOOKER T. WASHINGTON GETS MASONIC DEGREES Conferred by Prince Hall Grand Lodge, With Master Marshall Presiding in Special Session. The degrees in freemasonry were conferred on Booker T. Washington by William Lloyd Marshall, grand master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, F. and A. M., of Massachusetts, last night at the apartments of the colored Masons, 446 Tremont street. The work was performed in a lodge specially convened for that purpose and constitutes a very unique departure as only men of mark are selected for this honor, which can only be conferred by the grand master. H. C. Binford, grand master of the Grand Lodge of Alabama, in whose jurisdiction Dr. Washington resides, gave his official sanction to the granting of degrees, and sent a letter of congratulation.

FARMERS OWN AUTOS KANSAS GRAIN GOES TO MILL NOW IN GAS WAGON Young Man Takes His Best Girl Motor ing Instead of Buggy Riding and Wife Does Her Shopping in Runabout. Salina, Kan.—Practically as many motor cars are owned by farmers in Kansas as are possessed by the townspeople. The farmer has learned to appreciate the advantage of the automobile for his journeys to and from town. Then there are other considerations. A farmer's son from the south part of the county went to a county seat garage the other Saturday evening. "What have you that will make a nice rig to take a fellow's girl riding in?" he asked the agent. "Well, there's a runabout that is pretty swift." "Will it climb hills? You see she lives on the other side of Tom Creek hill and I have to cross it." "Sure. Get in!" and the two went out to the edge of town, where a demonstration was made to show the paces of the machine. "Guesas it will do," was the verdict as they came back to the garage, and the young man took from his pocket a check book and made out a check for the price. "Made that off my alfalfa field," he remarked as he climbed back into the seat and called a professional driver to accompany him until he could manage the levers and wheel. "We'll learn it to-night," he announced; "because I'm going to take her riding to-morrow." As he did not return it is presumed that he did take her riding. It was a central Kansas farmer who arose one morning and declared that he would like to have an auto. His wife remarked that during the week they would go to town and see what he had. want it now while the roads " he rejoined, and going to phone called up the coun- to Go to the Mill. tries away and ordered a nt out at once. The beauty of the prairies for automobiling is that the roads are good a great part of the year. Kansas is in the latitude of Tennessee and Washington and the seasons, except winter, are long. As a result the motoring is fine, and extended trips can be made at a speed that is a delight to the drivers. To be sure there is a 20-mile state speed limit, but who cares for that? The driver who keeps within it on a three-mile stretch of smooth road with no team in sight is a rarity. The kind of car that appeals to the farmer is a useful one. He wants to get regular service and it is no pleasant thing for him to have his car out of condition. There is a farmer near here who makes his runabout a truck wagon and a business cart. He takes in it a few sacks of wheat and hurries to the mill and brings home groceries for the men in the fields. His wife runs it as well as he does and she carries to market her garden stuff and her butter and eggs. It is a curious slight to see her peddling farm products around the city in the little runabout. Then in the evening the family comes to town with the same machine, and the concert is enjoyed as regularly by this party as by the people on the block next the park. Rural mail carriers are eager to get runabouts. It is an easy thing to make the run of 20 miles in three hours. As was pointed out, the long period of good roads makes it feasible to use the machine so much of the year that there is real economy in it. Anything like a general use of motor cars by farmers can never be known until the machinery is made simpler, though some of the present models give even the farmer little trouble. It is less likely to have good care on the farm than in the garage, but it is also likely to be let alone when running smoothly, and that is said by experienced motorists to be important. One central Kansas banker makes a 24-mile trip every other day to his branch banks in towns outside of the county seat. As he also has a farm or two the possession of a runabout makes it easy for him to look after them all. Manuscripts Bring Big Sums. Very high prices are being paid for original manuscripts of famous poems just now. The other day the manuscript of Tennyson's well-known poem "The Brook" was sold for £300. It consisted of eight pages. The original manuscript of Pope's "Essay on Man" was sold for £895. FROM RODMAN TO PRESIDENT. Career of S. M. Felton, New Head of Mexican Central. New York.—Samuel Morse Felton, who was elected president at the meeting here the other day of the board of directors of the Mexican Central, began his railroad career as a rodman in the engineering department of the old Chester Creek road 39 years ago. In his new position he succeeds Eben Richards, who is also general counsel of the Mexican Central. Mr. Felton has tendered his resignation to the directors of the Chicago & Alton, of which he has been the head for the last eight years. Mr. Felton, is 54 years old. After his debut into railroad life, as a rodman in the engineering department of the old Chester Creek road, he made X. W. rapid advancement in the department, and then became general superintendend of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis, the Little Miami and the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley, in 1874. In 1882 he became general manager of the New York & New England, and two years later became assistant to the president of the New York, Lake Erie & Western, and a short time later the general management of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio was added to his work. He was elected vice president of the New York, Lake Erie & Western in 1885, and five years later was elected to the presidency of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia. In 1890 he became president of the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific, and served as receiver for the road from 1893 until 1899, during which time he was also president of the Alabama Great Southern and receiver for the Kentucky & Indiana Bridge company and the Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking Valley. He was made president of the Chicago & Alton in September of 1899, and now resigns to accept his new position at the head of the Mexican Central. It is understood that the Mexican government has abandoned its plans to purchase control of the Mexican Central for the purpose of consolidating it with the Mexican National. FORMER PITCHER MAY BE MAYOR A. C. Gumbert Likely to Run for Chief Executive of Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa.—That "Ad" Gumbert, once a star pitcher in the National baseball league, is to be the next mayor of Greater Pittsburg is the report in political circles. Gumbert, who is now sheriff of Allegheny county, formerly pitched for Chicago, Pittsburg and Boston. He op- J. ADDISON C. GUMBERT posed his brother William in the Boston-Pittsburg game in the old brotherhood, which gained prominence when Paimer O'Neil, owner of the Pittsburg club, took the entire attendance of 21 persons to dinner and a street car ride. Several months ago Gumbert figured in the papers as the result of an execution in Allegheny county jail. Not wanting to pull the trap, he rigged up a contrivance by which the convict himself pulled the trigger which dropped him to his death. Gumbert joined the Chicago Nationals in the spring of 1888, when Baldwin, Tener and Van Haltren were the team's star pitchers. The following year he was one of Chicago's regular pitching staff, along with Hutchinson, Dwyer and Tener. Those were the days of "stonewall infield" Anson, Pfeffer, Burns and Williamson. The team was broken up by the Brotherhood war in 1890, but Gumbert returned to Chicago in 1891 and remained until he was released in 1892. CHECKED BIG STRIKE BIOGRAPHY OF LLOYD GECRCE. Man Who Prevented English Railway Trouble—Justifies Hopes of Admirers and Disappointed En- London.-- From its furze and heather-clad hills and mountains Wales sent down a man to save Great Britain from the loss and danger of a great railway strike. He is a slight-framed, sharp-faced, keen-minded, fine-nerved, high-spirited, audacious man, typical of his country and the idol of its people. His name is David Lloyd George and he is 43 years old. He is a lawyer, has been a member of parliament for several years and has been a rattling good president of the board of trade since 1906. It is doubtful if he has his match in the house of commons as a ready and fearless debater. His first laurels in this line were won in his scathing onsets against Chamberlain when the latter's prestige in the commons cowed the average member into alliance. Leader of young Wales, fiery and reckless, a born lover of revolt, Lloyd George has been pointed to by the conservative press as a horrible example of what happens when the radicals get into power. At first nobody took him very seriously. His virile phrases, his epigrams, his impetuous eloquence passed as something interesting enough, but without real importance. It was assumed that his very extravagance would keep him from getting into a position where he would be dangerous. But instead of holding him back, his aggressiveness sent him forward. His fighting abilities gave him a place among the leading liberals so strong that when a cabinet was formed after the liberal victory in 1905 there was no denying him a place in it. His career since then has been one of immense activity and uninterrupted progress. He has taken a deep inter- O. est in all the duties of his position at the board of trade and has inaugurated such an era of work and reform there that his worst enemies are unable to deny or belittle it. His achievements for British shipping and his "census of production" bill were so practical and valuable that the business world at once threw over the stock conservative political estimate of Lloyd George and began to look to him to do great things. Whatever subject he touched, he helped. His remarkable energy and keen powers of thought carried movement and right into numbers of static and obscure matters of which nobody suspected the restless Welshman of knowing anything in particular. Of surpassing importance in this respect was his intervention in the railway impasse. He found a situation so complicated and heated that a strike seemed certain. The managers of the railway saw no way out and neither did the men. The former were strongly inclined to pooch-pooh the idea that Lloyd George could do anything. They regarded him with ill-disguised suspicion and even hostility in the matter. The men knew he was at heart a friend of the poor man, but they feared he might do something that would prejudice their chances of securing the much-coveted concession—recognition of their union. Nevertheless, Lloyd George, as he is quite in the habit of doing, defied the difficulties and pressed for a determined effort to avert a strike. He got this effort and it succeeded beyond the fondest dreams of his greatest admirers. It is unlikely he would have ever brought the tory railway magnates into a conference if he had not told them plainly that the nation could not afford to have the railways blocked and might be driven to extraordinary measures of self-defense. But anyway he got them in and showed them a plan where they had none. It amazed them by its complete adequacy to the situation both in detail and in mass. For some days they had difficulty to realize that the trick had been turned, but at last they not only saw this distinctly, but saw that if they turned the plan, down they would be compelled to go before the public without a case. The men were put in precisely the same position, and so the quarrel was settled. Neither side got all it wanted, but it is almost universally believed that both sides got everything they could reasonably expect. The agreement holds for six years in any event and then requires a year's notice to terminate. In a word, it effectuates the principle of arbitration. THE COMING ELECTION.

Don't stitch the pleats on a skirt before first trying the garment on: Don't expect any skirt, coat or dress to lock well unless thoroughly pressed while in the course of construction and when completed. Don't dampen silk when pressing. A moderate hot iron, with cloth or paper between the garment and the iron, when the pressing is done on the right side, should be used. Don't double the materials in making folds for fanning skirt; cut them singly, allowing enough extra width for a very narrow hem at the top and bottom. Don't stitch skirt seams all in one direction. The bias side should be held uppermost, which means that the seams of half the skirt should be stitched from top to bottom and the other half from bottom to top. Don't attempt to stitch long seams, blas, or blas against a straight seam, without basting. A basting stitch saves a great many filling up of materials and puckering up of seams, which any amount of pressing cannot do away with. Don't forget that a snipping or notching of the seams here and there, particularly with a selvage edge forming one side of the seam, will counteract the shrinking tendencies when seams are dampened and pressed. When the selvage shows a puckered or drawn effect in the goods it is better to cut it away before starting the garment. Wm.

The double indentations on the shells were that they had been inserted two guns also proved that these were from Fort Niobrara, Neb. These guns were new and first fired in the practice, double insertion was at times necessary. But this difficulty had been entirely defaced by the time the batallion reached Brownsville. So that beyond any of the shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville were shells fired at Fort Niobrara, Neb., and were taken from the box of shells which Company B opened the rear og B Barracks at Fort Niobrara, and were accessible to all visitors of the fort as souvenirs. ever, the manner in which these were picked up showed conclusi- that they had simply been placed in some individuals interested in sitting the soldiers in the shoots the most of them were picked little groups from a foot to twen- ces in diameter, when it has been conclusively that in ejecting the from the Springfield rifle the pro- force throws them from six to however, all this evidence was sufficient to firmly establish before the country the innocence of the solitary remained for the end of the investigation at the present time to establish that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. Seven bullets said to have been cut into the houses in Brownsville into which they had been fired the night of shooting were introduced in evidence before the committee, all properly insured. The most of them were offence by Major Blockson or half of the Government A recent meeting of the commit- it was ordered that two of these labets should be analyzed by some competent medallurgist. One of the buets selected was fired into the Yturta House, the other into the Cowen House, from which it was taken by Major Blockson. The bullets were sent to the Geological Survey and by the head of that bureau, Dr. Smith, referred to Professor Hilderbrand, who is an expert metallurgist and chemist for that bureau on behalf of the Government. He analyzed the core of the two bullets, and his analysis shows that they are not the Government army bullet. To test the matter fully, as those on the committee who believed the soldiers did the firing were amazed and nonplussed at this analysis, four other bullets were sent to the metallurgist, with the same result reached; that they are not Government bullets in that they have antimony, when, according to the testimony of General Crowzier,the Government bullets have no antimony in them at all. General Crowzier's testimony is borne out by other experts; that the core of the Springfield rifle bullet has consisted ever since March, 1905, of one part tin to thirty-six parts lead, and no antimony, when the analysis of the bullets picked up in the houses in Brownsville shows lead 95.7, tin .02, antimony 1.97 No antimony has ever been used in any bullet issued to the army since 1894. THE NEW YORK TIMES Thus it is conclusively demonsarated that the bullets which were found at Brownsville in the houses were not, and are not, Government bullets. This is conclusively demonstrated by Government authority, and how could the shooting have been done by Government soldiers if the ammunition is not Government ammunition? The soldiers had no other, and their guns would not shoot any other. Could they have been out shooting up the town in connection with the citizens? Such reasoning is preposterous, and this latest evidence conclusively demonstrates that the soldiers had no part whatever in the Brownsville affray. DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR GLEAVES.

Swiss Eggs Are Something of a Novelty and Will Be Found Delicious —Maple Blanc Mange and Banana Desserts. For Swiss eggs—a delicious supper dish—spread the bottom of a baking dish with two ounces of butter. Cover this with thin slices of American cheese. Place four eggs over the cheese, taking care that the yolks are not broken. Season with pepper and salt; pour around the eggs two tablespoonfuls of rich cream and cover the top with grated cheese. Bake it for ten minutes, garnish with parsley and serve with fingers of dried toast. An unusually appetizing curry of veal is made as follows: Cut two pounds of veal into small pieces. Roll the pieces in flour and season with pepper and salt. Put a couple of tablespoonfuls of butter in an iron stewing pan. Slice a large onion and fry it in the butter, and when it turns a light brown add the veal and a quart can of tomatoes. Stir well and place the dish where it will cook slowly for an hour; then add a tablespoonful of curry powder mixed to a smooth paste with a little water. Simmer half an hour longer and serve on a platter with a border of boiled rice. Lamb may be prepared in the same way. A maple blanc mange is a novelty. To make it boll a quart of milk. Measure out four heaping tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and molsten it with a little cold milk. Add to it a liberal cup of thick maple syrup, then gradually stir it into the boiling hot milk and beat thoroughly to prevent lumping. Cook until very thick, then put aside to cool. Serve with whipped cream. For a banana dessert of the same type boll a quart of milk in a double boiler. Mix four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with two large tablespoonfuls of sugar. Thin it with a little cold milk; then gtir it gradually into the remainder of the milk, taking care that it does not form lumps. Cook for ten minutes; break two eggs and beat the whites and yolks separately. Add the yolks to the pudding and cook a few minutes longer. Then remove from the fire and add six bananas that have been cut into thin slices and sprinkled with sugar and a little banana extract. Have ready a pretty mould, and just before pouring the pudding into it fold through it the whipped up whites of the eggs. Serve cold on a low dessert platter with whipped cream. Those who are fond of curry powder often use it as one would pepper and salt, in ordinary dishes, such as soups, hashes, stews, vegetables, rice, eggs, etc. The next time you serve poached eggs at breakfast try dredging just a little curry over the top of each. The next time you make layer cake, instead of icing it first and then cutting it in slices, as usual, cut it into small squares and ice each square heavily, ornamenting the top with a candled cherry, a piece of citron or a walnut meat. For a Bore in the Throat. An obstruction in the throat, trachea or oesophagus may sometimes be removed by striking the patient forcibly on the back between the shoulders. Sometimes it is expedient to invert him while doing so. A child can be held up by the legs, but an adult should be placed across a bed or chair with his head and chest hanging well over the edge. If the object is in the oesophagus it can be often washed down with a drink of water or forced down by eating bread or other solid substance. To prevent excoriation of the alimentary canal after the swallowing of any sharp substance have the patient eat plentifully of bread, potatoes or mush, but do not give a purgative. Jelly Roll. Weigh four unbroken eggs. Equal their weight in flour, sugar and butter. Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and light, beat the yolks of the eggs and add them to this mixture. Beat for a few minutes, then put in the flour alternately with the stiffened egg whites and stir in lightly and quickly a scant teaspoonful of baking powder. Pour into a greased baking tin, not having the batter more than a scant half-inch thick. Bake quickly and steadily and when done turn the cake out upon a clean towl, spread at once with jelly, and roll. Cover with tissue paper or waxed paper and tie in shape until cold. Celery Jelly. Colery jelly is an attractive basis for fancy salads. Cut up the outer green stalks and to one cupful of celery use one pint of water with one teaspoonful of salt. Cook until soft, add one-quarter of a box of gelatin that has soaked for half an hour in half a cupful of cold water, strain through a jelly bag and mold. When solid cut out the center and fill with the salad. Two oranges, two bananas and two apples diced form an attractive salad to serve with the celery jelly. Prune Pudding. Stew half a pound of prunes until soft, stone and chop. Add half a pound of stoned chopped dates, half a cup of English walnuts and half a cup sugar. Mix well and add stiffly beaten whites of three eggs. Cook 20 minutes in a hot oven and serve cold with cream. Apple Salad. Take red apples; polish; dig out inside and fill with apple, celery and nuts. Serve on a leaf of lettuce, covering apple over with mayonnaise dressing. THE BEE PUBLISHEL 1109 Eye St., N.

The advocates of prohibition or otherwise temperance or prohibition agitators have appealed to the colored people or those who believe in temperance, to annex themselves as a "Jim Crow" auxiliary to their organization. Now, just think of it! The Bee begs leave to ask a few questions and to give a little timely advice to the so-called colored Christian Advocates of temperance: Why should the colored people ally themselves with a white temperance organization as a "Jim Crow" annex? Have these while temperance agitators ever asked the Christian colored people to go to Congress and oppose the "Jim Crow" cars that enter this city, or the recent "Jim Crow" car bill that was introduced in Congress by a Democrat from Texas? These white temperance agitators are a set of hypocrites. They pretend to believe in God and the Christian teachings of Christ, and at the very same time they refuse to associate with the Christian colored people, but are willing to have a "Jim Crow" annex. to their organization to oppose the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia. These hypocritical agitators of temperance are a menace to good morals. Many of them will wink at immorality; pursue colored girls, allow colored people to be discriminated against, ostracised, and preventel from earning an honest living without raising their voices in behalf of the colored people; but they are willing that they be attached to the tail end of their organization to prevent the sale of liquor, which Congress has legalized. If this is not hypocrisy personified, what do you call it? Many of these temperance advocates are the biggest set of immoralists that can be found. They will cry out against the sale of liquor, but will never hesitate to devour a good-looking female if an opportunity presents itself. If these temperance agitators do not desire to drink whiskey, let them go about their business, and let those alone who enjoy a glass of beer of a drink of wine or whiskey. Whose business is it if a man or a woman drinks? There is a great deal more harm in doing what many of these temperance advocates are doing than the bar-tender is doing in selling a glass of beer and a drink of whiskey. After the colored temperance organizations have been used and annexed as a a "Jim Crow" organization, these white temperance advocates have no more use for them. The Bee has no faith in these so-called moralists who are continually asking for a "Jim Crow" annex to their institutions. It is now about time that the colored people have learned some sense. There are in this city dozens of churches whose members, the pastors included, that never refuse to accept donations from men who sell whiskey or keep saloons. Where is the consistency? Let the colored people keep clear of the farce demonstration. SEPARATE GOVERNMENT There is every reason to believe that Congress will allow the colored people to govern their own schools. The ninety thousand colored people in the city, two-thirds of whom are taxpayers, should be given an opportunity to control their own schools as heretofore. If this important question would be submitted to a vote of the colored people, The Bee is confident that the sentiment would be unanimous in its favor. The colored schools are in need of such men at their head as Mr. George F. T. Cook, formerly superintendent of colored schools, or Prof. H. M. Brown. Both men have great executive ability and educational qualifications. The people are opposed to the present bill introduced in Congress. Then again, give the power of appointment of a superintendent to the District Commissioners, who know the needs of the people better than Congress. Let there be one Board of trustees, with three colored members, who shall have exclusive supervision over the colored schools, one colored superintendent, one white superintendent, and all appointed by the Commissioners. Abolish the offices of supervising principals and place the control of the schools in the hands of the principals of building, who shall be subject to the orders of the superintendents and the Board of Trustees. Let the teachers have power of appeal to the District Commissioners, who shall be the final authority. Two weeks ago The Bee suggested that it would be a fitting tribute to Prof. Booker T. Washington to tender him a national testimonial some time in May, of 1908, at Convention Hall, in this city. The Bee thinks that Mr. Washington, who has given the Negro a new emancipation, deserves this recognition of his great services. The colored Americans are now becoming factors in business which are due to the efforts of Mr. Washington. The National View, of New York city, in an able editorial, seconds the suggestion of The Bee. The Bee feels confident that all lovers of fairplay and gratitude will take part in this testimonial. The columns of The Bee are open to all who desire to make suggestions, and the best methods to pursue to make the affair a great national success. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the private secretary of Dr. Booker T. Washington, is out of danger and is able to be out again. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

We must show that we are making progress. If in Boston or in Cambridge, or in other centers where the colored population is numerous, we could hire a hall like Tremont Temple, and there once a year come together and show what local progress has been made along all lites of useful endeavor, how much better this would be than a thousand indignation meetings in Fanueil Hall! "I do not believe that the Amercian Negro will surrender a single right guaranteed him under the Constitution of the United States. In spite of wrong the colored man in the South is rising, and we want our Northern colored brother to rise, too. What concerns him concerns you. Be proud of the fact that you are identified with the colored American people. I have no use for that colored man who tries to get away from his people. "Do not grow bitter by reason of circumstances under which we are all now struggling. To me the worst of all slavery is hatred, racial hatred.

(Continued from first page.) the dust, reposing on thy broken harp? She cries out amidst the centuries: "I scorned the idea of God and the immortality of the soul; I made Socrates drink the poison of the hemlock; my sins and iniquity laid me here." Righteousness exalteth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any people. It is a lamentable fact much to be deplored that in our country of universities, schools colleges, Young Men's Christian Associations, reformatories and charitable institutions, with a public school system that outrivals in splendor and magnificence any which the genius of man has brought into requisition for the glory of the people, with churches scattered everywhere, from the golden gates of California to the rockbound coast of Massachusetts, from the lazy lagoons of Louisiana to the ricy swamps of South Carolina, and with an army of teachers, ministers of the gospel, and missionaries who are busy in every portion of the land, yet we find crime everywhere on the increase. Murder, suicide, hypocrisy, graft in high places, the rottenness in governments, the corruption in courts, domestic infidelity, theft, and the evil crime of lynch law abound everywhere. And while these evil forces are at work in an effort to strike down the government of the church, the nation is going mad on the question of colorphobia, and in its desperate determination to keep the Negro down the most awful crimes are committed against liberty, against justice, against humanity, and against the sacred rights of man. Some of the church of this land, both Catholic and Protestant, are wielding little if any influence among the people. They care little about the salvation of the souls of men, and are running after strange gods—the gods of gold and corruption. Too often they are but nests honeycombed with corruption and infested with a class of men who may justly be styled beadles and human scavengers. These hypocrites join the church as Christians only for gain and to get the confidence of the people in order that they may more easily rob and plunder the unfortunate among them. As a result these cormorants, these human parasites, have wrecked more banks, plundered more insurance companies, broken up more financial institutions, destroyed more homes, and flave brought by their conduct more misery upon the common people of this country than any other band of emissaries that was ever let loose from the gates of hades. The Christian Church that is supposed to be dedicated to God like the Aegean Stables needs a cleaning out. With the righteous whip of indignation, let the ministers of the gospels where these sins abound chase from the temple, as Christ did in the days of old, these despicable hypocrites, scoundrels, murderers, thieves, liars and robbers that are endeavoring to make God's house a den of merchandise and thus destroy the very object for which it was founded, and the spirit of influence which gives it life. As members of the Young People's Baptist Union and as American citizens I claim the right, through our organization to sound the tocsin, raise the battle day, and to do whatever in our power lies awaken new life in the churches in order that they might carry out the high mission for which they were established. But the crime of murder, of suicide, of graft in high places, of lynch law, of drunkenness and of profanity are not the only evils that threaten to sap out the very life blood of the Christian Church and to overthrow the republic. The denial of this nation to the colored American the fundamental rights guaranteed to him under the laws of the land is the most serious problem which confronts the American people, and one which, if not settled on the basis of exact justice, the doom of this republic is already sealed. There is a growing tendency to re-enslave the Negro in this land, oppressed, discriminated against, denied the right of ballot in many States of the Union, he seems to have become a special target at which the evil geniuses of the age are hurling all of their artillery in the hope of destroying his manhood, curbing his ambition, wrecking his hopes for the future, and reducing him to that condition of serfdom from which he was lifted in 1865 by the brazen gun and belching cannon of the victorious army of the republic. We as a race will not be re-enslaved, here let me say, "You may make us a grave wherever you will. In the lowly plain or lofty hill; Make it amidst earth's humblest graves, But not in the land where men are slaves. We need no monument proud and high To arrest the gaze of the passerby; All that our yearning spirits.crave Is, bury us not in the land of slaves." As American citizens we claim and demand our full measure of manhood rights in common with all other citi- zens of this land: "We are native, to the manner born, And labored day and night and morn; And for this nation lost his blood On battlefield and raging flood; And here he means to live and stay Until his latest dying day." Through the blood of a crucified Christ on Golgatha's Summit, we as Christians received our title deeds to a life everlasting and mansion not made by hands, but eternal in the heavens. Other nations may boast of the records of their birth, the glory of their achievements in other lands, and the proud and, haughty Anglo-Saxon who now tread ruthlessly upon our prostrate forms may praise his history back to the futile barons or knights of the past ages, but the colored American has no traditional ancestry, no record of the burial ground beyond the dole of America, and today, by reason of his birth and antivity, he is the most distinctively American that treads the soil of our common country and you cannot deny him the rights of American citizenship without peril to the republic. As a race ten millions, paying taxes on nine hundred million dollars worth of property, worshipping the same God, warmed by the same sun, eating the same food, living under the same government, and worshipping one common Heavenly Father, why should there be any distinction made on account of color? Upon what principle is it founded? It finds no sanction in the Bible, and under the burning lights of the Ten Commandments, Christ's Sermon on the Mount, the Declaration of American Independence, and the Constitution of the United States, this arch-friend of hell, known as race prejudice, can find no shelter to hide its ghastly form. The Negro of this country received his most deadly blow and race prejudice and colorphobia was given its greatest impetus by President Roosevelt in 1906, when by the stroke of his pen he dismissed without honor two battalions from the American army who were the truest and bravest defenders of the nation's honor that ever went forth to battle. This cruel blow, this deadly stroke aimed at the very heart of the Negro's pride, his mandhood, and the progress of the race, and the order forbidding the men to again re-enlist, has made a wound so deep in the hearts of the black race in this country that it will never be forgotten by the liberty-loving people in this country who believe in a square deal and exact justice to every man, regardless of his color, as long as liberty and love find a home in this American republic. Ever since the birth of the republic many black shadows of rebellion and revolution have been thrown across the pathway of the nation's progress. In order to maintain our national supremacy and independence, the hills and valleys of our country have been baptised in blood and drenched in the tears of widows and orphans. In all of these wars since the establishing of the government the Negro has been a mighty factor in keeping the American flag afloat in the haven of respectability. In the wars of 1775, 1812, and 1848, on land and sea, in the hottest and thickest of the fight, this black hero was there side by side, and his blood commingling with that of his white comrade, he fought for the country that did not even recognize him as a citizen thereof. In 1861, when citizens of eleven States broke their oaths of allegiance to the Constitution, went off in wild rebellion and turned their guns of treason on Fort Sumpter, the Negro although a slave without a home, without a government, but filled with patriotism that knows no bounds, seeing the flag of the nation assailed, he leaped into the breach, saved the government, struck the manacles and chains from the galled limbs of his own countrymen, and then, dipping his pen in his own blood, wrote above the ruin of the wreck of the Southern Confederacy, "The Death Knell of Slavery, and Union One and Inseparable." Has the record of the Negro soldier been forgotten by the present occupant of the White House? Does he remember that in the Spanish-American War that was waged by this nation against Spain in the interest of oppressed humanity, that the Negro soldier was there? Has the President for- gotten that on that fatal day, when the Rough Riders, in their attempt to capture the blockhouse a El Caney, when he and his men had been surrounded and were being cut to pieces by the Spaniards, and when he was enveloped in a cloud of smoke and shell from the rain of Spanish bullets; when hope of escape was but a dream—does he remember that then the black American soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalries, in one great phalanx, rushed the hill, saved the Rough Riders, rescued Theodore Roosevelt, and placed the American flag on El Caney's bloody summit? When I think of this, and the ingratitude to these brave defenders of the nation's honor, I can but exclaim: Oh! Justice, where is thy virtue? Oh! Liberty, where is thy throne? Righteousness exalteth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any people. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLICAN CLUB OF NEW YORK UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED BY THE CLUB AT ITS REGULAR MEETING, NOVEMBER 18, 1907. Race Discrimiation. We call on all American citizens to oppose the rising tide of race discrimination that threatens to overwhelm us. The situation is far worse than it was ten years ago. The late Carl Schurz not long before his death wrote: "Here is the crucial point: There will be a movement either in the direction of reducing the Negro to a permanent condition of serfdom—the condition of the mere plantation hand alongside the mule, practically without any rights of citizenship, or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the full sense of the term. One or the other will prevail." Carl Schurz's prediction has become true sooner than he expected. The American people are apparently moving very swiftly in the effort to reduce the Negro to a permanent position of inferiority. Race discrimination and race hatred are growing by leaps and bounds. We call on all by voice and pen and ballot to put down this spirit. Especially do we urge our foreign-born citizens to join in smiting down this deadly enemy. This is their right as well as the Negro's. Do they not see that if success should come to those who are striving to separate the people on account of color or race their turn may come next? A distinguished Southerner of Louisiana was recently asked, "What will you do if the Italians continue to swarm into the South and secure a majority of the voters, in your State?" His answer was: "We will treat them as we have the Negro—we will disfranchise them. The Southern Anglo-Saxon men must rule and shall rule," and in the adjoining State of Mississippi, as we learn from the Associated Press dispatches, the people of several towns have under consideration a plan to expel children of Italian parentage from the public schools The importance to the foreign-born citizen of the fight, therefore, to give the Negro a "square deal" is that if the fight continues to go against him, and the Negro is placed permanently in the disfranchised class, there will soon be a demand for discrimination between different classes of immigrants. The Hebrews, who have been discriminated against for generations, and who now in Russia and Roumania are realizing the awful results of race hatred, surely will be found fighting for justice for all. On what principle of consistency con they encourage our natives or espouse their cause in foreign lands, and fail to do all they can to right the wrongs of native-born citizens in this country. The Italians will not be found wanting in this fight when they understand it. The Germans, the Irish, the Scotch, the Scandinavians, the Russians, the Greeks, the Armenians, in fact, all nationalities coming to our shores, have histories and traditions that will impel them to be on the side of justice and against oppression. The singular and awful fact is that this bitter determination to discriminate against the colored race is chargeable to the native-born American. The immigrants have little or none of such prejudice when they come here. In Europe and Asia there is very slight prejudice against a dark skin, and in the West Indies and Central and South America almost none. It is a sight that lowers this Nation in the eyes of the whole world, to see a great, and in many ways a highly civilized, people like the white people of the United States engage in a cowardly, brutal effort to crush and keep down a race of nine millions of people. Let us endeavor to look at the situation from an outsider's standpoint, as it looks to the Canadians and Europeans, and not as it looks to us, for it is well known that continuous contact with any form of wrong and crime renders persons or peoples hardened and indifferent to it. The American people claim to love their Constitution. Oaths to honor and obey it are constantly made, and yet the race discrimination has grown to be so strong that this sacred Constitution is trampled under foot and despised in many States. Two of its amendments, The Constitution of the nation and of the forty-six different States, especially declares against taxation with representation, and yet nine millions ofzens born on our soil, in every waking the same political rights as the seventy-six millions, and paying upon hundreds of millions of property and taking part with high honor nation's wars, are absolutely from representation at Washington Of 391 Congressmen and 92 S that frame our laws, not one of race. By fraud, intimidation and they have been and are now of representation, while forty representatives of their stolen vote sit in nation's Capital. These representatives having robbed the black man lot, are using the stolen right late for themselves, and again These great and far-seeing of Civil Wr times foresaw theditions that now exist, and preremedy, while we, their indiffercommercialized successors, standrefuse to apply the constitutionally specifically designed to detinfamous law-breaking conspiria. To forbade race discrimination in thegott suffrage, and provided a pre-reducing the representation of denying or abridging the rightfrage. There are brave white men in the South who would grant justice to the black race, if the North would be held in no way can they be so helped to proportionately reduce representation in the State that refuse suffrage to the black man. When the Southern Negro began to enact legislation by which the Negro was deprived of the privilege of voting, those who advocated those honest measures urged, many of them sincerely, that by thus taking the Negro out of politics, better and kinder relations would be established between the races. It has not worked that way, indeed, we should have known that it would not. The drift has been studied in the direction of a wider separation and more unfriendly relations between the whites and the blacks. The Southern whites, now in absolute control, are determined to prevent the Negroes from voting, even in fraud, intimidation, and murder continue to be necessary to accomplish it, while the Negroes are growing in their determination to secure the rights, guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the United States. Andrew B. Humphreys William Greenwood, Chairman Secretary, Again, the right of representation is supposed to be inborn in every American. Taxation without representation was the primal cause of our Revolution and separation from the mother country are openly defied. New York, November 18, 1907 The Department of the Potom G A.

Making the eleventh annual report to National Baptist Publishing located in this city, to the National Baptist Convention, which con- in Washington, D.C., September 2007, Dr R. H. Boyd stated that it have been made for about $20, worth of the latest improved ma- ter that new buildings were being and that altogether about $35. would be spent during the ensuing year, thus adding to the facilities setting out more and better work out to this plant by your correspond- reals the fact that the buildings now about complete. One three and history brick with an eighteen-inch double floors, inlaid with fiber, was on the four sides, is to be used manufacturing build. the first floor is an up-to-date room, with nine printing presses. three of these presses is to be seen now Cross automatic continuous pa- teedler The capacity of the cylinder is from 12,000 to 15,000 impres- sive ten hours. There is one new meeting press, a regular book which will enable the Board at keep up with the enormous in- form the demand for its output of school song books and periodi- cales. This is an addition in presses to these now in operation. There is not a more complete pressroom in the city of Nashville; notwithstanding it is the home of publishing houses. The second floor is occupied by the bookhinding department, complete and well managed. New machinery, consisting of a Dexter folding machine and a Fuller's folder paper feeder, has been added to this department, which already could easily boast of being the most complete bookhinding establishment operated by Negroes in the world. The third floor will be the composing and proof departments. The addition to these departments is a Washington hand press to be used for taking impressions, printing banner, etc. The two Lnotype machines, the stereotyping out it, with the scores of cases of type, will be in place the latter part of this week. There is an elevator in the building and a basement, one new 45-horsepower engine that will run the machinery and make the electric lights for the plant. In the second building, which is two-story, the mailing rooms, the counting rooms and sales department will occupy the first floor, while the editorial rooms, the field secretary's office and the chapel will occupy the second floor. One of the unique features of this institution is its devotional exercises which are held at 9.30 each morning, it being earnestly requested of every employee, unless especially excused, to be present. Dr. Boyd, the inaugurator and founder of the institution, as well as the promoter of the movement, pays a high compliment to these devotional exercises, declaring that on this hinges whatever success the institution has attained. When all of the departments shall have moved to-their new quarters the entire Baptist Publishing plant will be practically under one roof; that is, you can go through four of the buildings without going out of doors. Yet six buildings are occupied, namely, one 3-story, three 2-story, and two 1-story buildings. The indications are that during the next fiscal year the circulation in the periodicals will reach 12,000,000 while the output as a whole will be about fifteen percent above that of this year. Nothing has been so surprising and astonishing as the rapid growth of this institution. Dr. Boyd has been out of the office for more than six weeks. All of his time has been given to the personal management and arrangement of these improvements, giving none of the enormous correspondence any personal attention. He stated to the correspondent that it was absolutely necessary to leave the office work and correspondence to the assistant secretary, in order to superintend the work now so near completion. It is impossible to specify the extensive improvements that are now being made. HANDEL'S ORATORIO, "THE MESSIAH."

REMEMBERS HEROINE REMEMBERS HEROINE IDA LEWIS PLACED ON CAR- NEGIE'S PENSION LIST. Is Only Woman Lighthouse Keeper In Washington.—Savage seas swirling around the Lime Rock lighthouse, which guides, the mariner to safety in Newport harbor and points the way to yachts headed for Narrangansett bay, have been for years the wild setting for deeds of hero.sm by Ida Lewis, known far and wide as the Grace Darling of America. Like the Northumbrian heroine, Ida Lewis has braved terrific storms and fey blasts to snatch the drowning from the angry seas, and in her long life she has saved double the number of lives rescued by the daughter of the English lighthouse keeper. Ida Lewis has been rewarded with medals and high recognition from the United States government for her heroism. She is the only woman lighthouse keeper in the world and, though she is 68 years old she will be allowed to remain in her position until incaracitated. Her killer ward for her successful daring has just come from Andrew Carnegie, who has placed her on his private pension list at the rate of $30 a month. In this way the iron multimillionaire has put beyond financial stress the he, one of the Lime Rock light. The present name of the keeper of the beacon which flashes a sea path to fashionable Newport is Ida Lewis Wilson. She was married to William H. Wilson of Black Rock, Conn., in 1870, but, as she remained at the lighthouse, she has never been known to the world IDA LEWIS IDA LEWIS other than as Ida Lewis. She was born at Newport, and when her father, Capt. Hosea Lewis, was made keeper of the light in 1854 she went to live with him on Lime Rock point. Miss Lewis was the eldest child, and she speedily became proficient in aquatic exercises. She rowed her brothers and sisters to the mainland every day when they were attending school. She became an expert swimmer and could handle a sailboat with the best yachtsmen in the harbor. Before she was 18 she had saved the lives of four young men, all sons of prominent Newport families. Their boat had been capsized by the fool-hardiness of a member of the party, and their cries for help aroused the daughter of the lighthouse keeper. She jumped into her rowboat and rescued the four with considerable difficulty. Shortly afterward her father was stricken with paralysis, and the work of watching the light devolved on Ida and her mother. She was always on the lookout for possible wrecks, and was ever ready to rescue those in peril of their lives. In 1861 a sailor was rowing across Newport harbor when his boat sank. Miss Lewis heard his cries and brought him safely ashore During the winter of 1868, while a blizzard was racing, two troopers who had been to Newport were being rowed back to Fort Adams. When a short distance from the Lime Rock light their boat capsized. Miss Lewis hurried to the rescue and managed to pull the benumbed bodies into the boat. The boatman was lost. After returning to the lighthouse Miss Lewis was compelled to work for an hour over the prostrate forms of the two soldiers before she was able to bring them back to consciousness. The men at Fort-Adams made up a purse for her because of her bravery. In all, five troopers from the fort owed their lives to the Grace Darling of America. Night after night she trimmed the light and kept it burning. The rescues were but incidents to her, but during her career she has saved 18 lives from the sea. In 1879 she was made custodian of the Lime Rock light for life, and in 1881 Secretary of the Treasury William Windsom awarded her the gold life-saving medal. When Gen. Sherman appointed her as keeper he said: "This appointment is conferred upon you as a mark of my appreciation of your noble and herole efforts in saving life." In 1887 she received a silver medal from the Massachusetts. Humane society for saving a soldier, and the New York Life Saving association also gave her a medal. Her rooms in the lighthouse are filled with tokens of appreciation from all classes, and she has been visited in her rock-bound home by Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman and Admiral Dewey. She is in splendid health and her eye is as clear as it was 30 years ago. She has one of the distinguishing marks of a true heroine—she dislikes to talk about her rescues. The leading house in town.

In buying a roast of beef for a small family it is wiser to buy two ribs than one, as two cook to better advantage, and what is left makes a delicious pot roast for the next day's dinner. For the pot roast cut up a large onion and fry in a tablespoon of butter; add one tablespoon of flour, and when they are dark brown—be sure and do not let them burn—add one quart of boiling water. Keep stirring until blended smoothly, then put in the roast that was left over and half a can of tomatoes, one clove of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook about three-quarters of an hour, on top of the stove in a covered pot, when it will be ready to send to the table. Send to the table on a platter covered with gravy and on the top half a can of mushrooms that have been cooked in some of the gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes. The other half of the tomatoes can be made into soup or stewed for the next day's dinner and served with steak and the left-over mushrooms. CHEESE IN PLACE OF MEAT. Is Cheaper and Really Has a Greater Food Value. In view of the high price of meat it is useful to know that a pound of cheese is equal in food value to two pounds of beef and is generally cheaper. The difficulty of digesting cheese is lessened if it is cooked or served broken up or grated. A small pinch of bicarbonate of soda is sometimes added to assist digestion. A slight grating of cheese improves almost any dish such as poached eggs, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and cream toast. For a tomato and cheese salad, which is quickly prepared, cut the tomatoes in thick slices, sprinkle each slice with a little freshly minced Bermuda onion and the same amount of grated cheese. Serve with French or mayonnaise dressing. Burnt Almond Charlotte One-third box gelatin, one-third cup cold water, one-third cup boiling water, three-fourths cup blanched almonds, finely chopped, one cup sugar, one cup scaled milk, one teaspoon vanilla, one cup cream whipped stiff. Soak the gelatin in the cold water for 20 minutes and dissolve it with the boiling water. Melt one-half the sugar to a caramel, being careful that it does not burn; add the almonds, and pour on to an oiled or buttered paper. When cold pound fine and add to the hot milk, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the fire, add remaining sugar, gelatin and vanilla. Cool until it begins to thicken, then fold in the whipped cream. Like a mold with lady fingers, pour in the mixture, and chill thoroughly. Priscilla's Pudding One large cup cach of stewed pumpkin and stewed tart apples, one-half cup sifted bread crumbs, one-half cup sugar beaten with the yolks of two eggs, one-half cup seeded and chopped ralsins, and one-half teaspoonful cach of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; mix all to together with one cup of creamy milk and add two tablespoons of brandy if you use it; bake one-half hour in a quick oven and spread with a frosting sauce of the whites of two eggs, a small cupful powdered sugar, and a few nuts, ground fine. This is delicous and will be relished by those who consider pie crust unhygienic. Chicken Pudding. Cut up a young chicken and put in a saucepan with just enough water to cover it. Boll until tender and season with salt, pepper and celery salt.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for an hour or more, basting often. When done remove to a hot platter and fill the center with peas. Garnish with parsley. Turkey Stuffing. Boll sweet potatoes with skins on until tender, then peel and mask. To each pint add one teaspoonful salt, three shakes pepper, two tablespoonfuls sweet cream, one teaspoonful sugar, one cupful pecan nuts, chopped fine. Mix and fill turkey, but do not stuff too full. New Dish Drainer A new dish drainer shaped like a trough is of galvanized wire that fits into an iron pan. The plates are put in this directly from the soap suds, the rinse water poured over and the plates allowed to dry without wilping. To Tell the Age of an Egg. Place the egg in a glass of water. a fresh egg will remain resting at the bottom; a slightly passe egg will rest with the big end raised higher than the small one, and the higher the big end the older is the egg. Giblet Gravy. Cook the heart, liver, glizzard, neck and tips of wings in boiling water for two hours. Remove the skin and bones and chop the giblets fine. Pour all the liquid out of the pan in which the turkey was cooked. Skim off a half cup of fat and return it to the pan. Heat and add eight level tablespoonfuls of dry flour. Stir until free from lumps, and add the water in which the giblets were cooked. Stir until thick and smooth, adding more water if necessary. Cook five minutes and add the giblets. Heat before serving, and add salt if desired. How to Peel Squash. Now is the season of the Hubbard squash, which is so hard to peel. This suggestion will save time and blistered and discolored hands. Cut up the squash with a hatchet in large pieces, put in a colander over a kettle of hot water, and cover with either a pan or towel and steam until tender; it can then be scraped from rind easily, and when seasoned is much superior in flavor to that cooked in water, and with half the time and trouble and with great saving. Baving of Sugar. A great saving of sugar when making jelly; after straining through jelly bag, boll juices from 40 to 45 minutes, carefully remove all the scum as it rises; then take a bowl of sugar to a bowl of juice, and boll sugar and juice 15 minutes longer. In making jelly this way, I find a great saving of sugar, and the jelly is much nierer, not only in flavor, but the color is beautiful. To boil too long with sugar makes jelly tough and dark colored. Quince Honky. The following recipe will make ten glasses of quince honey: Take four quinces, pare and core; now run through a fine meat chopper; use one cupful of sugar and one cupful of water to each quince and boil until tender and just thick enough to drop from the spoon. Bottle and seal when cold. Boll cores and peeled and use for jelly or pour into honey while it is cooking. GRIEVE NOT, DEAREST HEART. SONG. Words by JULIAN JORDON. Music by EDUARD HOJST 1.

FOR TRIFLING ILLS IMPORTANCE OF SOME KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE. Allments Likely to Become Serious Can Be Checked in Their Incipiency if One Understands How to Deal with Case. It is a good thing for at least one member of every family to have a little knowledge of medicines, in case of emergency, and the information should be acquired by one sufficiently interested to make some study of the matter. Some people regard minor allments as too trifling for any attention, while others grant so much importance to slight disturbances that there is eventually great waste of time and money. It would seem that some one in a family who would observe carefully, storing valuable knowledge by experience, and who would study trustworthy sources, would prove to be an indispensable comfort in the home. She will know just when the doctor is needed, and just what to do without him, or to assist, and in that knowledge will show herself as praiseworthy as a thrifty housewife or a matchless cook. There are so many emergencies for which frail humanity must be prepared that one short article could scarcely begin the long list. But the following few suggestions may serve as the first guide post on this particular path of research. Cause, prevention and cure should be the systematic divisions of this study. "Colds" are concerning a good many households just now; it is always so at the change of seasons. Impure air is a powerful ally of this disease. It may be in a bedroom, a schoolroom, a public hall, a crowded drawing room. There is more illness caused by defective ventilation than by draughts. If one is exposed to the latter, and yet is warmly clad and moving briskly, there is no danger. The factor most potent in resisting cold is a healthy circulation of blood; such a condition cannot exist for a moment without pure air. Preventives of cold and its various catarrhal conditions consist chiefly in common sense, that rarest of all virtues. That means keeping the body sturdy in all its vulnerable points—a throat that is used to exposure, a head that often goes hatless, feet that may get wet without harm (providing they are reshod as soon as inactive), a body that never feels the cold when it is hurrying about in fresh air. The cure of colds is a simple matter if begun in time. The first signs of cold should be the signal for treatment. Then there are such little troublesome matters as nosebleed, earache, inflamed eyes, mouth sores and the large and various number of ills resulting from fever and deep-rooted dis day! Then grieve not dear heart. Although we die! Then grieve not dear heart. Tho' fate bad. part. But live in the love, in the love that part. For dearer to me than the whole world. give!

Gieve not, dearer to heart. rall. pp ease. The amateur student of these difficulties should not rely upon her scrapbook when biding emergencies. She should learn by heart her store of wisdom, and above all things cultivate good judgment. Tenderloin and Oysters. Tenderloin and oysters, while making a unique and distinctive dish, are at the same time so simple to prepare that the ability of the inexperienced cook is not taxed, says the Dellneator. Let her first mix a little butter and flour in her stew-pan, and, when the blend has browned let her add a chopped Spanish onion and two pickled walnuts that have been cut into small pieces. A moment or two later two tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup and a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce are added, after which the uncut tenderloin steak is placed on top of this mixture to simmer for about an hour. It must be turned three or four times during the interval. Celery in Cheese Shell. Cut the celery stalks into inch pieces, cook until tender in boiling water, slightly salted. For three cupfuls of the cut celery allow a pint of white sauce, using the water in which the celery was cooked, with the cream as the liquid. Turn into the shell of a pineapple cheese, cover with half a cupful of fine cracker crumbs, mixed with two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, and let it brown in the oven. Serve with powdered cheese. Edam cheese shells can be utilized in the same manner. How to Boll an Egg. Most people drop an egg into boiling water and let it cook steadily for three minutes for a so-called soft-bolled egg. The proper way to soft-boll an egg is to remove the saucepan from the fire when the water reaches boiling point; drop the egg in at the moment of removal, cover the saucepan and leave the egg in the water for six minutes. When there are two eggs let them stay eight minutes. For medium-cooked, ten minutes are required, and for hard-bolled half an hour. When Eggs Are Scarce. When eggs are high one may be economical in many ways. For settling coffee break an egg into a jelly glass, fill with granulated sugar, and mix thoroughly, cover closely, and use a half teaspoonful to a pot of coffee. This will keep any length of time. For pumpkin pies use but one egg to a ple and one tablespoonful of flour; no one can tell the difference. For custard ple two eggs and a tablespoonful of flour. Put Snow In Cakes. A cupful of light, new fallen snow stirred intb cake, or other batters, briskly, the last thing before turning it into the baking pan, is a good substitute for eggs. When snow is used more flour is required—about two tablespoonfuls. ED.

A chill sauce is made by a western housekeeper, which will be found much better than any ready-made variety to be had in the shops. Chop fine 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. Boll it gently one hour, then seal in pint cans. Following is a cucumber pickle recipe: 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 alum. Mix thoroughly and seal in pint cans. GOOD PICKLE OF TOMATOES. Can Be Made of the Green or Ripe Variety, as Desired. While tomatoes are procurable, a very good pickle may be made from the recipe of an old New England housekeeper. Chop one peck of green tomatoes and arrange them in layers in a stone crock, sprinkling each layer with salt, using in all not more than a cup of salt; let them stand over night, and in the morning strain away the liquor and add to them about two quarts of vinegar, to which has been added a tablespoonful each of cloves, clina- iron, ginger, and allspice and six chopped,green peppers, the seeds and white pulp having been removed. Bring the whole pulp to a boil, heat simmer slowly for four or five hours, adding, a few minutes before it is done, two and a half pounds of brown sugar. Quite a different result may be obtained by substituting ripe tomatoes for the green. In consistency, it will be a little thicker and a little rougher than the ordinary tomato calsio To Clean Furs. Ermine, white fox and all other light furs that have been packed away during the summer months should be cleaned before putting them on to wear. Sawdust and plaster of paris should be mixed half and half, heated until blood warm, and then rubbed into the skins several times. Then put the fur out of doors to air. With darker furs use bran. Divide a pound of bran into two portions and place one in the oven to heat. Spread the fur on a paper on the table and rub it well over with the cold bran. Shake out the bran and brush the fur with a soft hat brush. Then rub the hot bran in the fur evenly. Then shake it and brush it until the fur is free from both dust and bran. Salted Almonds. First put the almonds after they have been shellled into boiling water until the skins can readily be removed. Dry carefully. Put a piece of butter in a pan and while melting stir in the almonds glaze. Then place the pan in the oven. Be careful and stir often so as to color the nuts without scorching. When slightly brown take them out, spread on white paper and spsinkle with table salt. They should be eaten cold. A plain salad of lettuce with French dressing may be served before the dessert. —.. / ‘ e a Nu. ¢.\\\ MANUFACTURINGJEWELER Sasi Pek, hi \ ° D OM, \ Ta Bh AS ASA 725 7th Stroot, Northwest ie SN (reet, Nortnwest Z eae BETWEEN G & H ie P ee 3 Everybody has some friend whom they ‘wish to make happy.

D.—A few weeks ago a number of Wessington Springs girls adopted an orphan girl and iow are giving her a home. Since the fact be- came known the girls have recelved numerous applications to adopt other children, but the most Interesting fea- ture of the whole affair is that a wealthy Nebraskan writes offering to miarry any one of the 12 foster moth- ere, and also to adopt and educate the child : The girls gave tke proposition a bustuess-like vonsideration, and !n re- ply to hfs letter made a counter prop- osition. % was that the oldest of the 12 accept nis offer of marriage on these conditions: That he prove that ke fs sincere. That he be qualified in every way to contract marriage. That he is able to provide a com- fortable home for his bride and ts willing to make provision for her every need and comfort. | That he shall abstain from the use of cigarettes, tobacco and intoxicants. | That he use no profane language. That he spend his evénings at home, — That he..will not filrt with other Women and will attend church at least once cach Sunday, _ The Nebraskan's answer ts awaited with Interest. MORE DIVORCES IN’ GERMANY, Greater Proportion of Marriage Fall ures in the Large Towns. Berlin—The number of divorces tn Prussia has Increased rapidly of late years and is still growing. In 1901 there were 4,675 divorces and the last annual total Teported by the Registrar was 6,856, These were very unevenly distributed, the mora densely populated districts showing a far greater proportion of dissolved Marriages than the more sparsely in- babited sections, Agaln, the religious belief of the peo- ple seems also to have had constder- able effect ou their views as to the disruption of the marriage tle, Prot- estants, according to the returns, dis- playing greater readiness to seek dl yorce than Catholics. Taking the country as a whole, one divoree Is granted to every 1,000 mar. tlages, Berliners, however, who are over- whelmingly Protestant, obtain one de creo for every 300 marriages; the Protestant provinces of Schleswig- Holstein and Brandenburg one In 750; Saxony, Pomeranla and East Prussia, 1 fn 1,000; Hesse-Nassau, 1 in 1,100, and Hanover, 1 in 1,400. €h the other band, the Catholle provinces of West Prussia, Schleswig and Rhineland show only one divorce for every 1,250 marriages, Westphalia one in 2,000 and Posen and Hohen- zollern only one in.3,000.

There are many dainty ways of cooking fish besides frying, boiling and baking. Some of these are quite as easy of achievement and as Inexpen: sive as the foregoing modes, more- over, nicer. Fish with a cheese sauce 1s very good. Almost any white fish can be cooked in this way, Take from one pound-to two pounds of fish, wash it well and dry {t care- fully. Then place it in a clean enam- eled stewpan, add three gills of mlik, salt, an onlon, notched in order that the julce may escape, a blade of mace and a good sized sprig’ of parsley Simmer gently until the fish is cooked, but do not allow the milk to reduce, Dish {t up hot and add from two ounces to four ounces, according to taste, of grated cheddar or Dutch cheese, Stir until the cheese has thor- oughly melted, pour it over and around the fish and serve at once. Here is a simpler and quicker way of cooking a small plece of white fish. Wash and dry, place In a well-greased firepreof china dish, sprinkle thickly with fried bread crumbs, minced par- sley, and if possible some minced mushrooms, about two ounces. Place a bit of butter here and there and pour over the whole half a small bot- tle of tomato catsup; sprinkie more bread crymbs on top and bake in a moderato oven for from 20 minutes to half an hour, according to the size and Kind. > FOOD FOR THE INVALID. Dainty Fare and Attractive Serving Are Both Essential. | Feeding the invalld fs an art, and in some cases a lost art. A tray with legs six or seven inches high fs the most comfortable way of serving food, still the effort may be too great and @ glass tube be better. Always have the nourishment attractively served, for a dainty doily under the bowl of broth may attract the wavering appe- tite. Do not bring a large quantity of food to a convalescent, as it often defeats Its purpose. | Here are two simple recipes which are very acceptable to most patients: . Moisten a teaspoonful of real Bermuda arrowroot with water, rub smooth with a spoon, pour on half a pint of -boiiing water and season with wine and nutmeg. In cooking arrowroot it is wise to make It thick, afterward thinning with milk. Panada fs also grateful. Put a few crackers or crusts of dry bread fn & saucepan with cold water and a few raisins, After it has boiled half an hour, flavor with wine if the patient has no fever. If properly made the mixture will be quite smooth and of moderate thickness. Serve on a daln- ty tray covered with an immaculately clean cloth. A tiny bunch of flowers tucked on the tray does not render the arrowroot or panada any the less appetizing, and do not forget a well browned strip of toast or a rusk as an accompayimest to the repast.
