VOL.27 NO.33 DR. STEWART DEAD DR. STEWART DEAD The death of Dr Charles Carroll Stewart, which occurred at the Emergency Hospital, Thurrsday evening, was a surprise and shock to his family and many friends. Dr Stewart was accidentally injured Christmas evening on his way home. He did not regard the injury as being serious at the time. Dr. Sewell attended him or dressed the wound in his hard until it became serious, then Dr. Reyburn was called in and ordered him to be carried to the Emergency Hospital at once. He was carried there in his buggy by his wife, and assigned to a bed upon the top floor. He was suffering with graet pain at the time, from which he received no relief for several hours after his arrival at the hospital. In the evening he asked to be given a draw through which to take his medicine, but the nurse did not think it was necessary. That evening, however, between eight and nine o'clock, word was sent to his wife that he was dead. This was a great shock to her because she had just thirty minutes previous to this time, been informed that he was improving. Dr. Stewart was a native of Washington, being connected with one of the most prominent and leading families in this city. He had been a progressive and active citizen all his life. He had been around the world three times, and in his youth he was considered one of the most daring scouts in the army. After his second return from abroad, several years ago, he connected himself with The Bee, and worked assiduously to make the paper succeed. It was while connected with The Bee that he learned the art of journalism, and by persistent efforts and study he became one of the best descriptive writers in Negro journalism. Dr. Stewart was an ambitious and race-loving man. While employed in the Government Printing Office an idea struck him that he wanted a profession. He thought of law, and finally he decided to take up medicine. He attended the Medical School of Howard University, but having a disagreement with one of the faculty he left and went to Tennessee and graduated with him honors from Maher's Medical College of Tennessee. H returned to this city and registered and opened his first office at 2018 E street northwest, where his family now resides, and built himself a large practice. He never believed in moving. He did not think a person could succeed by moving from pillar to post, hence he remained at this place where he first hung out his shingle. At an early age he was married to a young lady in Baltimore, Md., who bore him one child, a boy, who is now living. His second marriage, which occurred several years ago was to Mrs. Jennie Williams, who survives him, as well as several brothers: Gage W., W. A., James and John Stewart; and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs.Kate and a step-daughter, all of whom are well-known citizens of this city and highly connected. At the time of his death no physician was more popular among the people than he. He was medical examiner of the Elks at the time of his death, and one of the most popular and best-beloved mmebers of the organization. The arrangements and direction of the funeral were in charge of the Elks, of which he was a member. The last effort that this young man was making was to build a hospital in the vicinity or upon the ground of his parent home. He had about completed arrangements to erect this great colored hospital, which would have been a monument to Dr. Stewart. He was buried from St. Mary's Ch. Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock; interment was in Harmony Cemetery. AT THE CHURCH. | At one o'clock the remains of Dr. Stewart were carried to St. Mary's Church, Twenty-third street, headed by PROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON WILL HE STAND THE CRITICAL TEST? Cumberland, Va., January 3, 1908. Editor Washington Bee, Washington, D. C.: The Bee is read by me with keen interest, especially the editorials on race issues and topics of national interest. For the past quarter of a century is has held its place in the forum as an outspoken, able, fearless, tried and trusted defender of the race's best interests. But it is not my purpose, Mr. Editor, to give you a honeyed preface, with sugar-coated, words of praise and commendation, as a sort of pretext to enter your, good graces, to procure a medium by which I may palm off my little say for self-gratification and the satisfaction of seeing something over my signature in print. Some people are narrow in view and purpose. This is true of both black and white. Mr. Tillman is sometimes outclassed by a black Vardaman, and vice versa. Though handicapped by unjust laws and discrimination which constantly burn on the altar of Southern prejudice fed by race hatred and colorphobia we shall by united and progressive effort finally break down these barriers and stand forth in the light of American life free alike from caste and prejudice. But, it is of the suggestion that a national testimonial be tendered Prof. Booker T. Washington some time in May of this year that I desire to write. We believe in giving honor where honor is due. And certainly every honest, fair-minded American will sanction and second the proposition you make to give Mr. Washington a public testimonial of national character in recognition of his services and worth as a great and good man, industrial leader and pacificator. To the proposition I readily and heartily agree. But when you state that this testimonial is due Dr. Washington for having given the Negro a new emancipation, it is here that we balk—and would be glad for the erudite editor of this widely circulated paper to be more explicit and tell us the other 9,999,999 Negroes of the country—just what is meant by this "new emancipation," and of what does it consist? Mr. Washington's heart is all right. we believe. He is a diplomat in the industrial world. His field is indeed a large one. In his realm he is king—and to remain the honored lord he must not overstep the domains of his kingdom, which is now known as "Industrialism for the Negro." The Negro has long been taught to work. He had had several hundred years of hard training before Mr.Washington saw the blue hills of West Virginia, or began his long and tedious journey on foot, as a penniless lad, to enter Hampton Institute, there to be trained to become the industrial Moses of a once enslaved people. But lessons of saving, investing and judicious spending needed to be taught. And in this sphere Mr. Washington is the undisputed master of the field. But, sir, giving Mr. Washington full credit for strong will, noble aims, and lofty purposes, we tremble for his greatness and namesake's good when he attempts to play the role of politics and essays to become the godfather to the race in the entire educational and business world. Tis true we have made rapid progress since freedom. Some of our people possess fortunes, the foundations of which were laid even before Mr. Washington was out of knee breeches. And I notice, too, this strong statement: "The colored Americans are now becoming factors in business, which is due to the efforts of Mr. Washington." To this I assent in part. Mr. Washington has played an important part. in fact he has taken a leading hand in bringing before the public gaze, by the force of his genius and organizing powers, the various business men and organizations throughout the country thus giving new life and impetus to business everywhere. But to give him credit for being the mainspring and the backbone of all business activity, genius and enterprise among the Afro-Americans of this country, which has long been known as a factor in the business world, is, we think, going to the extreme and giving him an overdose of praise. For instance: The Bee, twenty-six years old. Its able editor, a mere flywheel in its machinery. Its becoming a factor due to Mr. Washington? Take The True Reformer; one of the strongest organiastions among colored people in the world. It is a factor in the business world. To whom is all this credit due?

GREAT SCOTT GREAT SCOTT COLOR LINE IN THE SCHOOLS. Now it is reported that Miss Truman, Miss Walter and Miss Schooler, teachers in the Colored Normal School, will be transferred because they are too black. One recommendation has already been confirmed by the Board of Education. These ladies are three of the best qualified teachers in the Normal School. Just who made the recommendation The Bee is now investigating. The color line is growing in the colored schools, and it is hoped that Superin tendent Stewart will put an immediate stop to this color line in the schools. These transfers should be investigated at once by the Board of Education, and if it is established beyond all doubt that teachers have been removed or transferred on account of the color the guilty parties should be dismissed. ANOTHER CANDIDATE. Mr. J. W. Paterson gave a stag re- HON. WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF I WILL DO HERSELF GREAT HO TOR OF THE SENATE. HON. OSCAR J.

Among those present were: Gaskin and Gaines, aJmes Jackson, Bud Minor and others. Mr. Patterson took the honors gracefully. EX-PUBLIC PRINTER RICKETTS. Hon. Oscar J. Ricketts, formerly Public Printer, is on the Lincoln type of Republicans. At the time he was Public Printer no man protected the Republicans more than he did. He appointed more Republicans, irrespective of color, than any man who preceded or succeeded him. Mr. Ricketts has the confidence and respect of the country, and at the proper time the people of this city will show their appreciation for him. He is today one of the most popular Republicans in this city and a man who is not found wanting when needed. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss Beatriz L. Chase. Mrs. Ann Nutter, whose funeral took place last Wednesday, was one of Washington's best citizens. The Freeman wishes to know "who is to manage the proposed colored theater in Washington?" The funeral of Mrs. Charity Breadus, wife of Mr. George Breadus, of Ivv City, took place last Thursday from Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Hon. John P. Green was one of the speakers at a complimentary dinner in Clayton Hall, Cleveland, Ohio, recently given by the Niagara Movement executive committee. The calendar issued by the pharmacists, Gray and Gray, is unique. Women representing thirteen organizations in the Federation of Women's Clubs, Chicago, signed pledges last Tuesday not to wear the plumage of any birds other than crows. IOWA.— THE STATE OF IOWA NOR BY RETURNING THE NES- PUBLIC PRINTER. A. STALWART TALWARTS. Arrangements were made for Rev. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard University, to deliver a lecture on a Bible subject before the People's Bible School at Shiloh Church last Thursday evening. It was stated last Tuesday that the Excise Board will grant the license applied for many weeks ago by J. C. Thomas, steward of the Washington Terminal Company, to have a bar at the new Union Station. Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of Tennessee, entertained the employes of the Board on New Year's Day. They fully enjoyed the dinner, which was the second annual one. We see by the Ohio Standard World that Editor P. W. Chavers will not only visit the principal cities in America, but many of the foreign countries. The funeral services of Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford, who was pastor of St. Patrick's Church, took place last Tuesday from the church. Many prominent citizens attended the funeral rites at the church and at the grave. Mrs. Callie D. House, national secretary of the ex-Slave Movement, who has been in this city on business, has returfed to Nashville, Tenn. The Muskegee Cimeter says "The Negroes of Oklahoma do not ask for social equality or social mixing, but they ask that their rights under the law be respected." Encke's comet is said to have made its appearance again, and that it has a short period of about 1,200 days. After hearing the testimony in the case of Nathaniel Taylor, colored, charmed with beating his wife last Saturday night, Judge Kimball said in court last Monday: "You are one of those wifebeaters who ought to be tied to a whipping post and soundly thrashed." Charles L. McCleary, second assistant postmaster, has directed postmasters to refuse packages that are not securely packed. The joint investigation and inquest on the death of 355 miners in the recent disaster of the Monongah Mine was opened in the county court house at Fairmont, W. V., last Monday. The Emancipation address by Rev. J. H. Adams, of Shadydale, Ga., was well appreciated by the people in that city. Edward AA. McGrath, of Milwaukee, Wis., who is a cripple, has received a medal from the President for saving the life of a six-year-old girl last August. John Cowell and James Queen, a porter and cab driver, respectively, were in the United States Branch of the Police Court last Monday, charged with engaging in an affray at the new Union Station. Mrs. Louisa C. Cameron, wife of ex-Governor William E. Cameron, of Richmond, Va., died last Saturday from pneumonia, after an illness of about ten days. The Newton Center, Mass., says that Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, has started the tariff ball rolling by introducing a resolution seeking information relative to valuations under the proposed commercial treaty with Germany. The Colored Alabamian, published at Montgomery, Aa., issued an Emancipation number January 4. Mr. J. A. Lankford, one of the leading architects in this city, has completed plans for the first three buildings to be erected at Hillsboro, N.C. Judging from the plans of Mr. Lankford, the school will in every way be first class. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives to reduce the regular army to 35,000 men after December 1, 1908, 10,000 of whom shall constitute an artillery for coast defense. Rev. Joseph I. McGuire, pastor of the Church of the Holy Comfortor, died last Tuesday afternoon after a long illness. Cardinal Gibbons went from St. Patrick's Church, following the funeral of Father Stafford, to the 'recotry of the Holy Comfortor. A bill to prohibit rural free delivery carriers from delivering mail packages containing alcoholic efdreshments has been introduced by Representative Sims of Tennessee. This city and vicinity was visited by a severe wind rain snow and hail storm last Tuesday. We received the first edition which was published January 4, 1908 of the Mississippi Odd Fellow, Holly Springs, Miss, which we placed on our exchange list. It is said that not one American steamship of any kind now runs to rBrazil, Argentina, Chile or Peru, and that American mail service to these southern countries is non-existent. OPPOSED TO BRUGE. There is a growing opposition to Roscoe C. Bruce. His removal from the schools will be requested in a public meeting next week. Almost the entire colored population is against him. He is the most unpopular official in the schools. MR. ANDREWS RETURNED J. M. A. Andrews, who has been on two weeks vacation on his farm in Virginia, returned to the city this week. He had a most delightful trip. Aside from being entertained by his old friends who purchased a new carriage especially to take him driving, he shot lots of game and supplied his friends when he returned last Monday. Since the opening of Mr. Andrews' business it has been on the increase and before the end of 1909 he will enlarge 1735 Tleventh street where he conducts his present business with an accomplished clerk, who is a great help to him. Arbitrary Orders Arbitrary Orders THE TEACHERS OPPRESSED. UNNECESSARY WORK IN THE SCHOOLS. Roscoe Conklin Bruce, who received his orders from Dr. Chancellor is, now attempting to force teachers to comply with certain orders, issued to Bruce, which the Board of Education did not authorize. No such orders were issued to the white schools, and just what authority Bruce has to attempt to enforce such orders The Bee is unable to conjecture. The colored teachers are informed that they must attend the Normal Night School, Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Just who authorized Bruce to issue such a rediculous order is a conjecture, but the presumption is that it is one of Dr. Chancellor's former orders. No such orders have been given to white teachers. The new Superintendent, Mr. Stwart, is asked to look into this. Thursday night the teacher must attend a hot-air lecture for which they were compelled to purchase tickets for $1.50. Then here comes the model lessons, which takes the teachers from their school work. The modal practlee to the High School is another one of the imaginary reforms. Last Monday about three o'clock about twenty teachers called upon Mr. Horner and presented him a protest against these arbitrary rules of Bruce, who had no authority whatever to issue them. No such orders exist anywhere in the country. There are teachers in the school who taught Bruce and who know more than he will ever know. Last summer Bruce-left the city and went to New York and took lessons. If he was compelled to leave the city for another school after having graduated from Harvard, The Bee is of the opinion that a successor to his is greatly needed. PRESIDENT OF THE CAPT. JAMES F OYSTER, BOARD OF EDUCATION. MR. CHASE TO MR. STEWART. Washington, January 6, 1908. Superintendent A. T. Siewart, Dear Sir: Roscoe Conklin Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of the colored schools, has issued an order requesting teachers to attend a night Normal School three nights in a week. He has also organized or suggested an organization known as the "Teachers' Extension Course." where the teachers who don't want to give model lessons or attend parents' meetings or fortnightly meetings, are required to meet at the Sumner School from 8 to 10 p.m., three times a week, to be taught by the High School teachers. Will you kindly inform me whether the law establishing white and colored schools in the District of Columbia gave the colored superintendent authority to establish a night colored teachers' Normal School? Does the law give him the authority to compel teachers to attend night meetings from 8 to 10 p.m., three times a week? Well, Sir, such are the conditions of the colored schools, and these are only a few of the burdens of the colored teachers. Will you let me hear from you at once, and oblige. DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. This well-known Sunday School worker and race advocate is now in Tennessee working his wav North. He will be in this city about the 20th, en route for Boston, Mass. Full history of his work will appear in The Bee next week. Read The Bee.

Side Lights Increase Apparent Size of { Apartment—Kerosene Still Used { * for Reading Lamps—Fernery . for Dining Table. “Of the various problems of furrish- ‘ing a house, the question of lighting ts yaa dImpertant factor, For rooms of some height itis g-nerally agreed that the inyistble swuree of ght is ahe best. This means concealed lights, “high above the eye, that reflect upon the celling and then throw a soft ight ‘down over the whole room. High ceil- "Ings, However, arc not built in the ordinary house, and, therefore, would ‘be impracticable for domestic use, The apparent size of rooms in an apart- ment or house may be considerably increased by using side lights instead of the regulation chandeller. A pair may be placed near the plano, another over @ corner seat or against d book- case, and so on, to give light where specially needed. Some consider, however, that a house Is not properly lighted where elde fixtures alone are used. Low cen- tral lights are often a necessity, and these requirements are best met by lamps or drop-lights. Even where. electricity and gas are used, kerosene 1s still popular. It provides a steadier and softer light for reading. Many of the lamps of to-day are handsome to look at, but give 2 poor light for read- ‘ing or sewing. No form of electric bulb has yet been designed that in its unshaded form is beautiful or artistic. The ordinary bulb needs a covering ‘that will give beauty, and the shade must be carefully considered. Nothing gives the dining table a more cheerful appearance than a few flowers or a feraery. So popular has the custom become that the filling of ferneries 1s a large part of the florist’s business. They should be made with an outer and inner receptacle. The inner case can be taken out and re- moved from the table whenever wa- tering is necessary. Stand the ferns in the dish first and then carefully fill in the soll between the plants, press- ing it down firmly and evenly. Ferns will not grow in the common garden soil, but should have rich soll from the woods. The common hardy green- house varieties are the best plants to buy. Whatever receptacle is selected it should not be Jess than three Inches deep. Several new and attractive sand- wich fillings are suggested: Take &reen peppers, remove seeds, chop fine and simmer for ten minutes in butter, Add a dash of salt and cool. Spread between thin slices of lightly buttered bread; cover with a layer of grated American cream cheese, Mince fine cold boiled ham, chop fine somé peanuts, using half the amount of ham. For every cupful of bam use | a heaping tablespoonful of minced sour pickles and half a cupful of chopped celery. Mix to a good paste with salad dressing. Chop very fine blanched almonds, add cream cheese and chopped olives. How to Make Beef Chowder. This is a savory and inexpensive ish: Cut 1% pounds of round steak in strips or cubes; cut three or four ounces of fat pork in small pleces and cook in a hot frying pan with an onion sliced very thin. When both are browned add a quart of boiling water, slmmer five minutes, pour the whole over the steak, bring to the doling point, boil for five minutes, and then cook slowly until the meat ds tender. . Have ready five large potatoes peeled, sliced, scalded in boiling water, drained and rinsed in cold water. Add the potatoes, one tea- spoontul of salt and saltspoonful of pep- per. Cook until the potatoes are ten: der, then add 1% cups of rich milk and a Uttle more salt if necessary. Heat to the boiling point and pour ever pilot biscuit, or thick crackers, which have been dipped for a second in hot water. To Make Glothea White. Nothing will bleach white .materials Uke sunshine and fresh air, If it were possible for every laundress to have for her use a clean grass plot there would fe no need for blulng. The Italian women wash their clothes in the running water of streams or on the banks of rivers, beating them on the rock, which, of course, is more or less’ damaging to the clothes. After the clothes are washed they are spread out on the grassy banks to dry in the sunshine, and no matter how mutilated the garments may be ‘ar bow poorly ironed they are cer- tainly dazzlingly white. : % Pigeon Stew. Wash and clean six pigeons, cut them {into quarters, arid put all their giblets with them Into a stewpan, a tablespoonful of butter, a little water, 2 bit of lemon peel, two blades of mace, some chopped parsley, salt, and pepper; cover the pan closely and stew until they are tender; thicken the sauce with the yolk of an egg beaten up with three tablespoonfuls of cream and a bit of butter dusted with flour; stew ten minutes longer before serving. Creamed Carrots. For creamed carrots, pare and cut in slices, put on in cold water. When they come to a boil pour off and cover ‘with boiling water and boil till tender, adding salt when half done. Melt a tablespoontful of butter, stir In a heap- ing tablespoonful of flour and add one and one-half capfuls of milk, Stir till it thickens and add salt and pour over carrots. Do parsnips the same way. FOR THE AFTERNCON TA, All Sorts of Dainty Fittings In Two- Story Sandwiches. The two-story sandwich, for atter- noon tea and little suppers: The bread, brown or white, fs cut In slices of wa- fer thinness and delicately buttered. On one slice is spread a sweet or savory dainty and on the other a tasty accompaniment for ft. The two are put together, spread sides up, and are then topped with a third slice, butter downward, There is no end to possi- ble combinations. Cold boiled ham and tongue moistened Ughtly with mayon- nalse may cover one slice and the mayonnaise sprinkled with minced Pickles or olives the other. Pate de fole gras spread on one slice and dell- cately shredded cucumbers or toma- toes, moistened with mayonnaise, the other, make an epicurean blend. For A vegetarian sandwich spread one slice, with minced green peppers and cucumbers chopped fine, and seasoned with mayonnaise, and the other with mayonnaise-dressed shredded lettuce leaves. Or, spread one slice with cream cheese and the other with minced nuts or with chopped olives or Rickles, Mushrooms, tomatoes and Dolled eggs make a substantial picnic Alling. NEW WAY TO COOKISTEAK. Prepared in Spanish Style, it Makes Appetizing Dish, ~ Lay a slice of the tender side of the round (about two pounds) a little more than two inches thick on a tin plate, leaving the fat around the edge. Bake fn a moderate oven for half an hour. Add a small teacupful of water and baste every few minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with a saltspoonful of salt and half a salt- spoontul of pepper, cover with a layer of sliced onlon and bake for a quarter of an hour longer. Sprinkle a second time with a salt- spoonful of salt, then cover with a lay- er of chopped tomatoes (large canned ones will answer) and bake again for 15 minutes. Sprinkle over jt one tablespoonful of grated cheese and place it again in the oven long enough for the, cheese to melt. It will ke covered with a thick rich gravy and the steak will be ten- der. Same Sucnestions, If tollet silver ts rubbed with a soft dry cloth every day it will not need weekly polishing. If your thread Mots when sewing rub it towards the needle. If rubbed towards the work it will ver- tainly tighten the knot. Celery will keep crisp a long time if kept where it is perfectly dark. An easy way to dye is to take tube paint, dissolve In gas- oline, the shade desired, then dip goods and proceed as when washing with gasoline. If bread that {s burned ts shaved with a sharp knife immediate- ly after taking it from the oven the appearance as well as the taste will be greatly improved. If the drain in your sink'gets clogged up use the palm of your right hand for a suction pump. Have water In the sink and press with rapid succession with the paim of the hand until the water runs freely. If you should fail to make a Passage procure a wrench and take the cap from the bowl under the sink. Salt mixed with cornstarch will not get lumpy and will run freely from the salt cellar. If you are troubled with the bread getting dry wrap it in a cloth of several thicknesses and place a wet cloth over the whole, being care- ful not to let the bread get wet, Pdutee: About Cooking: Hama: A liam should never be cooked with- ont having been soaked first for 24 hours in cold water. When it is ready to be cooked, drain it, put on fresh water, skin the ham, cover again with bolling water and cook slowly for one more hour. Again drain the ham and pour over it one quart of cider and enough boiling water barely to cover it. Boll slowly for another hour, re- move from the fire and allow ¢o cool in the liquor. When cold, drain off the lquor and keep it, Trim the ham into a nice shape, cover it with crack: er crumbs highly seasoned with spices, black pepper and a heaping tablespoonful of brown sugar; moisten with cider and bake slowly for two hours, basting frequently with the Uquor in which the ham was boiled. - Prey ong One cup strong coffee, one cup thin cream, three eggs, one-fourth cup of sugar, few grains salt. Cool the coffee and add to it the cream. Beat the eggs’slightly, add the sugar and salt, then the coffee and cream. Strain and pour into but- tered cups or individual molds. Place in‘a pan of bot water and bake in a moderate oven until firm in the cen- ter. Insert a silver knife and, If it comes out clean, the custards are done. Chill thoroughly,.remove from cups and serve. To Remove Oil from Carpet. As soon as the oll has been spilled cover the spot with plenty of flour or whiting to absorb the ofl and keep it from spreading. If it Is near a seam, rip the seam and put the flour or whiting on the floor under the car- pet. Next day sweep up all the floor above and underneath the carpet and put on fresh flour, If the spots per- sist, rub them with a fresh flannel rag dipped in raw spirits-of turpentine. yo Stewed Veal Tonsue. - Scald and peel a veal tongue; make several slits and insert strips of bam. Fry on both sides in hot lard and add sliced carrots and onlons, a spoonful of flour, a dash of parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Put in enough water to cover the whole and boll slowly for chree hours. oo NEED GREAT CARE TO KEEP BRUSHES AND COMBS IN CONDITION, Healthfulnecs of the Halr and Scalp Depends on This—Many Varie- ties frsm Which to Make ; a Cheice. | Extreme care shonid be.taken In the selection of hair brushes and of combs, not from a desire for cleanliness alone, but in order that the hair and scalp may be kept In proper condition by Immaculate brushes of the proper kind, It is wise to keep several brushes of different lengths and stiffness, as well as thickness of bristle—by thickness 1s meant the number of bristles to the half-inch of back, Among stiff brushes is one cheap in price, having stiff black’ bristles set in a rubber back, the whole of course being set In wood. This variety Is made in different sizes and Jengths of bristles—in some two bristles. are set in a single opening, while others have only one bristle in an opening. The bristles are also quite a distance apart, making this brush especially destrable in straightening out tangled hair with. out tearing it, and also penetrating thick halr and reaching the scalp. The rubber back Into which the bristles are set being flexible, {f moves with the bristles, and while they are «held straight up and down they are flexible and go through the hair with- out the stiff, unpleasant feeling of bristles In still frames. They are ‘properly cleaned by dipping the bristles In a weak solution of mild soap and water and allowing them to drain with the bristles down on a bath towel. It is best to have two of these brushes, and they can be used to brush and cleans each other. As most peo- ple know, all brushes may have the dust beaten out of them by striking then gently, bristles down, on a hard surface properly protected. All brushes should, however, no matter how carefully brushed and shaken, be cleansed at least twice a week with ‘soap and water, and once a month several drops of ammonia should be added to the water. For use in putting the finishing touches on the hair In the process of making up one’s colffure, or In smooth- ‘Ing it after it Is completed, a small ‘brush with softer bristles close together is better. The so-called comb brush is excellent for this. The small comb brush Is not wider than an ordinary comb, not over an inch and a quarter wide, is pointed at the end, and is most convenient In dressing the hair. Combs, like brushes, vary. For thick halr the large toothed combs with wide spaces between the teeth are the best, while for thin hair a me- dium comb fs better. Fine-toothed combs should never be used. They have sharp points and Injure if they do not actually scratch or cut the scalp. The old-time fine tooth comb has almost disappeared save fn coun- try towns. All combs should have blunt teeth, and their only proper use is to straighten the hair and In bulld- ing the coifture. If the scalp is, to be operated on, one’s finger tips or a brush should be used, ‘Fhe material of combs varies ac- cording to one’s fancy, but for prac- tical use combs should be selected that may be washed as often as the brushes and in the same manner. How to Wash Doeskin Gloves. Nothing 1s so economical for ordl- nary wear as white doeskin gloves, for they last well and wash almost un- endingly, but thelr success lles in the secret of careful washing. The gloves should be put in warm water, not too warm, and gently rubbed with prim- rose soap; take each glove singly and soap it into a ball In the palm of the hand, and rinse by gently shaking in the water. When the rinsing is well accomplished soap them again, and then, without being rinsed, squeeze them until all the water has Tun ont. Straighten the gloves, don’t pull them, and hang to dry where there is a current of alr; do not put them near a fire. The drying takes rather a long time, and at first the gloves look spoiled, says Home Notes. But they are a real success when once dry, and they must be briskly rubbed together to get rid of the stiff- ness; then they are ready to wear and “as good as new.” —— Clean Beds. The neat housewife, who is dis- treased to see her pillows and mat- tresses turning yellow and becoming solléd, should by all means indulge In covers of unbleached muslin. ‘ These should’ be cut so they fit smoothly and can elther have a turn. over plece at one end, which fs Yastenéd with buttons and button- holes, or they can be sewed roughly along one edge after they are put on. ‘The first way, while it may take a Uttle longer in the making, Is much more convenient to use, as the covers should be washed frequently, Somo housekeepers have two sets of covers for each mattress and pillow. . To Rid Place of Rats. Put a small quantity of copperas into a vessel of water and leave it in a corner of the closet or near the rat holes.

New York ‘Branch Otte das gt, Washsgton, D.C NEW KING OF SWEDEN GUSTAVUS TAKES AFTER FATHER IN MANY RESPECTS. Natural Tastes Run to Books and Literature—Queen a Descendant of Old Royal Line and an Excellent Housewife. London.—Gustavus, the new king of Sweden, would if his natural tastes had been gratified have been far happier with his books, his poetry and his day dreams, than head of his nation at a critical time like this. As a youth his dreamy, contemplative disposition was a source of some concern to his father, the late King Oscar, who feared the lad would grow up a mere dreamer instead of the man of action who was wanted on the throne. To counteract this tendency, he sent Gustavus to live the simple life in the country, to hunt, to fish, to ride and to sail a yacht. The young prince took to these sports with avidity and when he returned to the capital the king saw that there was some good stuff in him. His own disappointment with Gustavus was that the lad had no liking for military matters and delayed as long as possible his entry into the army. Gustavus resembled his father in many respects. He had the same taste for poetry and literature, the same linguistic ability, the same love for the simple life inherited from their peasant ancestors, and the same magnificent voice. Oscar used to lead the singing when the people met on any patriotic celebration, and it is probable that Gustavus will do the same. Gustavus is fortunate in having such a wife as Queen Victoria. It is well for the security of his throne that she is a descendant of the old royal line of Sweden, the house of Holstein-Gotorp, and for the first time since Bernadotte the peasant, Napoleon's marshal, ascended the throne of Sweden, has it been shared by one of the legitimate dynasty. The queen is also Pablo Picasso KING GUSTAVUS OF SWEDEN. full cousin to the German emperor, and the daughter of the grand duchess of Baden Her parents, following the example of the royal family of England, brought her up to all the duties of a housewife, and she can knit, sew, darn and cook as well as any woman in Sweden. As a girl she has often cooked for the kalser, and he was always glad to have her do so. Her drawing and painting show some traces of genius, and she is also an accomplished musician. Some ten years ago she fell into bad health, her lungs being affected, and she had to go to the south of Europe to recuperate. While there she spent a considerable time in Rome, and was an honored visitor at the Vatican whenever she went to visit Pope Leo. Of late years she has become quite robust. Such is the couple who will rule over Sweden, a couple who would in private life attract very little notice except perhaps for their devotion to each other. They are both simple minded and natural, and deeply imbued with the traditions of the people and of their race. The laws will be administered against evildoers just as rigidly as they were under the stern King Oscar, for Gustavus is inspired by a sense of duty which completely dominates his softer nature, and while yet crown prince he gave it to be understood that laws were meant to be obeyed, and that they were something more than more words. There are three children, of whom the eldest, Crown Prince Gustavus Adolf, is now 25 years of age. He is married to an English princess, and thus the house of Bernadotte which was looked upon with quiet contempt for many years by the ruling houses of Europe, is now allied to two of the most powerful of them. Autos for Arctic Explorers. No fewer than six automobiles, patterned after the euphoniously named Long Island Scooter, are said to be building for various Arctic explorers, who will use them in attempts to reach the pole during the summer of 1908. Two of them are under construction for Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn, who once accompanied Peary, and a third is for Anthony Fiala of Ziegler expedition fame, while the remainder are for other expeditions. "What sort of a character is Mrs. Gabble?"

Honey should take the part on sugar on bread, as a sweet that children so crave. It would also in this manner supply the craving for candy. People who have cultivated a taste for honey in their coffee and tea as a sweetener declare that it gives a fine flavor. Honey is far more wholesome in made dishes than sugar, and if any ill effects follow the use of sugar honey will be found an excellent antidote. White clover honey has the finest flavor. Buckwheat honey is darker, less attractive and rather cloying. Honey will not become a tiresome sweet if used in many different ways. An excellent rellish is made by dipping half slices of stale bread into a mixture made of a cupful of milk, one beaten egg—as for custard—a pinch of salt and two tablespoonfuls of honey. Dip the slices of bread in this and brown quickly on both sides, using bacon or ham fat to fry in. Serve with honey or butter. For an omelet nothing can compare with honey. Make a plain omelet, using water in place of milk, as it always makes an omelet more tender. Cook in the usual manner, pour over it a stream of honey while pluing hot and serve at once. As hot griddle cakes are served, spread each with honey and fold over like an omelet. Honey may take the place of sugar almost entirely in cake. To a cupful of flour use two tablespoonfuls of sugar and three of honey. This amount of sweetening will be equal to the usual cupful of sugar allowed to a cupful of flour in cake making. With this difference only, the cake recipe selected may be copied in full. A delicious filling for layer cake or short cake is made with honey. Blend half a cupful each of sugar and honey with two tablespoonfuls of water. Heat over the fire and stir in the stiffly whipped white of an egg, when the mixture forms a thread (which it will do in a few minutes' boiling) remove from the fire and beat constantly until cold; it will be soft and thick like cream—Suburban Life. Oyster Pie. To make a fine oyster pie the best oysters must be blanched in their own liquor and then drained free from it. Have ready an equal amount of prepared shrimps and some mushrooms of button size. Make a white sauce by bubbling a tablespoonful of butter and of flour together and add a half pint of oyster liquor to this amount with red pepper and salt. Strain the liquor first to free it from impurities and possible bits of shell. Use a little lemon juice for flavoring and just a suspicion of nutmeg, if liked—only once or twice across the grater lightly. To this add the mushrooms and keep hot while the shrimps and oysters are heated in a little butter and sherry. Add the mushroom sauce to the shellfish and cook together for a couple of minutes and finish by adding yolks of eggs blended with a little cream. Fill hot pate cases with this rich shellfish and mushroom mixture and serve at once. In place of individual cases one large oval or round pastry ring may be made. Chopped Mustard Pickle. Four quarts green tomatoes, one quart onions, one bunch of celery, one medium-sized cauliflower, two small cucumbers, one pound of cabbage, five peppers, one tablespoon white pepper. Chop all the ingredients except the cauliflower, which is picked into small pieces. Put in water enough to cover with a large handful of salt and let stand over night. Boil in same water until cooked through, strain lightly. Dressing for above—Three quarts vinegar, three ounces dry mustard, five-cent jar German mustard, one large tablespoon of turmeric mixed in vinegar until smooth paste, four cups sugar. Boil vinegar, add the ingredients and thicken with small cup flour. Pour over pickles and let come to a boil. Be careful not to let it burn. This is fine. Cold Veal and Tomato Jelly Salad. To a pint of tomato liquor, obtained by pressing stewed tomatoes through a hair sieve, add two tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar, sugar to sweeten slightly, salt to season to taste, a dash of cayenne and a few drops of onion juice. Place over the fire, and when hot add one-half box of gelatine previously dissolved in cold water to cover. Stir well, add one cupful of diced, cooked veal and pour into wetted cups. Stand in a cold place. When firm turn out and serve on crisped lettuce leaves. Cranberry Cocktail in Lemon Cups. Cook three pints of cranberries in an equal quantity of water about ten minutes, or until the berries are soft. Strain. Add the juice of three oranges, three lemons and three cupfuls sugar. Freeze to a stiff mush or simply turn in with shaved ice. Serve in lemon cups, the edges of which have been cut in tiny points with scissors, then the skins chilled in the ice, or in cold water. Starch. Uncooked or undone starch will always stick and cause misery to the froner. It should be allowed to boil up several times. The proportions are one measurement of starch to eight of boiling water. Mix the starch first in a small quantity of gold water, then adding the boiling water, and stir constantly while the starch is cooking. To make the mixture thinner add more water. IS WITHOUT A PARTY PREDICAMENT OF P. A. PORTER, NEW YORK CONSRESSMAN. Republican Organization of House of Representatives Refuses to Recognize Man Who Defeated Wadsworth for 'Ree'ction. Washington.—Peter A. Porter, member of congress representing the Thirty-fourth district of New York, is in distress. Peter, it may be remembered, conquered Congressman Wadsworth, with the help of the Democrats and some stanch Independent Republican voters. When he was elected, however, he announced that he would vote with the Republicans in the house of representatives. As a matter of fact, Peter has always been a Republican, and he ran as he did simply because he could not get the regular Republican nomination. His success was one of the most surprising incidents of the elections of last year, for Wadsworth had always been considered invulnerable in his district. Wadsworth senior, father of the speaker of the New York assembly, exercised great power, and when Porter was nominated it was not believed that he had any chance of election. He made his fight on personal grounds and the beef trust record of Wadsworth, which was condemned in an open letter by President Roosevelt. Porter used a cow as an emblem and distributed thousands of the president's letters throughout his district. The majority of the voters, irrespective of politics favored him, thereby administering a great shock to the pride of the aristocratic Wadsworths. And then Peter announced that he would go to congress and continue his fight against the beef trust and work for more rigid laws relating to the sale of oleomargarine. Now, Peter Porter having ridden into congress on a cow, finds that he THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK cannot break into the Republican party with a crowbar. And this because of the attitude of Representative "Pete" Hephburn, chairman of the Republican caucus, who repudiates Porter and lelares that he is not a Republican. Mr. Porter declares that he is not a Democrat, and so the man who polled 25,827 votes in a nominally Republican district finds himself in Washington a political outcast. When the Congressional Directory came from the printer's hands last January it continued an unofficial list of the present congress. The names of the Republicans were printed in roman types and the names of the Democrats in italics. To Mr. Porter's amazement and disgust he found that his name was printed in italics. When he arrived in Washington he started to have it corrected. He approached the clerk of the house and was informed that, while he would be permitted to submit whatever biography he desired, he could not appear as a Republican without the consent of the chairman of the Republican caucus. Then it was that Peter Porter approached "Pete" Hephurn The Iowa colonel was wrathy. He lit into Porter and allowed that Wadsworth was the straight Republican candidate and that the gentleman succeeding him was no more Republican than a rabbit. To this Mr. Porter replied by showing how many Republican votes he received, recited his long allegiance to the party and told of the fondness the president had for him. There was much more argument, but it fell on deaf cars: Colonel "Pete's" word goes and Mr. Porter is the one member who has no brand, but must go all through the session as a."maverick." When John Sharp Williams heard of the trouble he came hospitably forward and invited Peter Porter to join the Democracy, an invitation which was rejected, and now the member from the Thirty-fourth New York is floating in a political airship. He will have difficulties concerning committee assignments, for he cannot expect to draw any Republican vacancies, and, having declined to enter the Democratic caucus, he has no claim upon the seats doled put to the minority. It is certainly a predicament for Peter A. Porter. It is interesting to the observer, too, for it may be that a lifelong Republican will be compelled to sit through an entire session of congress without a party and without a committee. WHALES AND WHALEBONE. Great Increase in Price of Product of Hugh Mammal's Mouth. Now York.—Some Wall street speculators at the present juncture might well wish that they had cornered the stock of whalebone in 1871 and kept it until to-day. It would have cost them only $462,504.35 to do it, as the price ruling at the time was 77 cents a pound, and there were only 600,655 pounds to be had. At the price ruling to-day they could obtain for it $2,702.-947.50, representing a profit of $2,240.-443.15. In 1906 the average price paid for whalebone was $4.50 a pound. Dressmakers and those who have to foot the dressmakers' bills, besides those who wear the gowns and other articles of dress in which whalebone is used, when it can be obtained, will be glad to hear that all reports indi- J. Bundles of Whalebone as Received at the Factory. cate that whales are more plentiful just now than they have been in many years. It appears that the only difficulty is in the catching of them. They show that they are like birds in one respect—they have learned to dislike people who throw things at them. They have shown their ability to adapt themselves to conditions. In the north when they feel the prick of a harpoon they cut under the ice and that is the last the whaler sees of them. The whaler dislikes this because he not only loses the whale, but, worse fate, he loses his harpoon and a quantity of line for which he pald cash. The rules for eating accredited to Gladstone and Fletcher, which required 32, more or less, chews to each mouthful, were never meant for the true whale. It has no teeth and it swallows its food whole, catching it in the baleen, or strips of "whalebone," which depend from the sides of its mouth. If a whale saw the whalebones that womenkind are accustomed to using in their waists he would never recognize them as part of his alimentary system, they are so small. In the form in which they would be familiar to him they would be 10 or 12 feet long and look like giant brushes with a handle ten inches wide at the end. One might wonder how any animal could close its mouth with a grove of 12-foot quills sticking out of the roof. When the mouth closes the slabs of baleen lie flat in grooves. When the mouth opens the slabs spring forward, completely filling the cavern. One whale hay have as many as 700 in its mouth. Sometimes the weight of this giant mouth fringe is a ton and the contents of the mouth of one whale taken in Bering sea, on October 20, 1583, welghed 3,100 pounds, or a ton and a half. At the present rate the contents of this particular whale's mouth would be worth approximately $12,000. RECEIVES ORDER OF MERIT. Florence Nightingale Decorated by King Edward. London.—Florence Nightingale, who has been decorated by King Edward of England with the Order of Merit, is the first woman to receive the distin Mary tion and is renowned as a philanthropist. She has won fame for hospital work and organized a society for nursing wounded soldiers during the Crimean war, serving in the field amid great perils and privations. In recent years she has devoted $200,000 to theounding of a home for the training of nurses. Miss Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820. She as published works on nursing and a sanitary conditions in the army, one of her books, issued in 1847. "Life: Death in India," attracted wide attention. But 19 men who have leaved distinction have been honored with the Order of Merit. ```markdown ``` A CANINE CEMETERY WHERE PET DOGS AND CATS ARE BURIED IN STATE. Poetry and Sculpture, Adorn Their Tombstones—Some Epitaphs Read Like Those of Humans—Many Burials Costly. New York.—In a picturesque little spot situated on one of the most beautiful of the Hartsdale hills lies one of the oddest of cemeteries. The casual visitor here, inspecting the inscriptions on the tombstones, would expect to see records of long forgotten generations, perhaps the history of the village in the lives of its citizens, but instead the stones contained nothing but inscriptions to dogs, with an occasional cat epitaph here and there "Fido, asleep," "Our beloved fox terrier, Flossie," "Dedicated to the memory of our pet cat, Smutty." Such a jumble of inscriptions meet the eyes that the visitor begins to wonder whether the souls of Fido and Smutty now rest peacefully side by side or whether they arise at the witching hour to fight out once more their lifelong battle. In that case even the back fences of Harlem would be preferable to the rural peace of Hartsdale. This cemetery, moreover, contains French dogs and French inscriptions and German dogs. And just as human tombstones have little angels on them so these dog tombstones have little puppies carved on them playing with toys. Next to one of the graves the owner has erected a big rustic mourner's bench so that he may grieve for his pet in comfort. The most elaborate grave is that of a bulldog that once belonged to a family named Willson. Besides having a big granite stone at the head, it has two little bay trees on either side, and at the foot is a little marble trough with three little marble canaries drinking out of it. The canaries would be more easily explained if it were a cat grave, but perhaps this particular bullpup had feline predilections. For six months after he was buried this dog had fresh violets or roses BABE A 10 YEAR E.J.P. 192 Monument to "Babe." placed upon his grave every day, it is chronicleed. The burial cost the bulldog's owner over $500. The grave digger of the cemetery also tells of dogs burled in rosewood or mahogany coffins, some with gold handles, and gold, jewel-studded collars around their necks. "You have no idea," he will wander on, "how much money some undertakers make on the side in these dog coffins. Often the coffins are lined with plush or velvet and cost large sums of money. "And then some people insist on having their dogs embalmed before they are willing to bury them. Of course the undertakers keep that part of their business very secret, but they do it just the same." Many of the dogs that were prize winners in their lively days have all their trophies, ribbons, silver mugs and such things buried with them. Others have all their old collars, whips and playthings, and one woman actually buried a Bible and rosary with a dog. "Of course I know it must seem very silly," she said in explanation, "but it just makes me feel better, so why shouldn't I do it?" "And do they have real funerals for dogs, with services and so on?" asked the seeker of information of the digger of graves. "Well, no; no real services," he explained, "though some of them would like to. I guess, by the way they act." Sometimes they bring the body up from New York in an automobile, sometimes they ship it up as freight and not it at the railway station with carriages. Only family and friends, you know. There are never very many of them. "But the way those people act when it comes to covering up the box is—well—just about the limit. And the men are not much better than the women, either. I've got a pretty interesting job, I can tell you. "And most of them come up regularly and see to it that I'm keeping the grave in O K condition. And on the lay of the dog's death they usually decorate the grave with flowers. I can tell you I wouldn't mind being some dogs." There are now 450 dogs and about 10 cats buried in the cemetery. Rots cost from $15 to $25 each, including a lineed box which is hermetically sealed for shipping. This, however, is only the minimum expense for a dog memorial, and from this point the prices rise up far into the hundreds. Pinker—Was't! your enagagement with Miss Spliter broken off rather suddenly? Clinker—Yes. She insisted upon knowing what my intentions were. Bride to Be Is Washington Society Reporter. Washington. — Henry Gassaway Davis, multi-millionaire, former United States senator and running mate to Alton B. Parker in the last presidential campaign, is to be married at the age of 84 to Miss Maud Ashford, society reporter for a Washington paper. Through her marriage she will come into vast wealth, as Senator Davis has a fortune of $30,000,000. With the marriage of their father Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, wife of Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, and Mrs. Arthur Lee will be cut off from millions. Miss Ashford when not doing newspaper work has acted as a sort of social secretary to Mrs. Lee. She is about 35 years old, is a talented artist. M. Henry Gassaway Davis. and has frequently designed and executed place cards for dinner parties, both for Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Elkins. Frequently she has accompanied Mrs. Lee on trips out of town, and she has been shown many kindnesses by her. Years ago Miss Ashford and the daughters of Senator Davis were friends. They grew up together, and when finally the Davis girls married their friendship with Miss Ashford continued. Miss Ashford's people at one time were fairly well-to-do, but it is said they lost their money through the misfortunes of a son, who later left home. Miss Ashford and her mother are the only remaining members of her family. CALIGULA'S VASE IN AMERICA. Italian Government Has Written to Owner to Return it. Los Angeles, Cal.—An old broken Roman vase, supposed to be 1,870 years old, which was casually picked up in the ruins of the palace of the Roman Emperor Caligula several years ago by W. M. Milne, of Los Angeles, is now sought by the Italian government, and is believed to be of very great historic value. The vase was found by Mrs. Milne when she and her husband were making a tour of the world in 1903. When they arrived in Rome they visited a spot where excavations were under way, bringing to light the ruins of the palace of Emperor Caligula. While the workmen were digging away, the two tourists pottered about, and when a number of old vases were uncarted, and one was found with its top broken, it was secured easily for a few pieces of silver. The old hoary thing was brought carefully by the curio hunters to Los Angeles, and here it has remained unnoticed for four years. Recently Mr. Milne received a letter from Glacomo Boni, director general of foreign excavations for the Italian Ancient Roman Vase Now Owned In Los Angeles. government, asking if he had a vase in his possession which had been taken from the ruins of Caligula's palace. Milne readily replied that he has a Roman vase, found at a certain point. A second letter was received, asking for data as to the authenticity of the vase.

Chancellor as superintendent of public instruction is a relief to the public school system. The white teachers especially are relieved. But what about the colored teachers? They are burdened by the retention of Roscoe C. Bruce, who does not possess any executive ability, and neither has he had the necessary training to be placed at the head of the colored schools. His testimony before the investigating committee was an evidence that he is not only an unsafe man, but an incompetent instructor of education. The longer retention of Mrs. Mary. Church Terrell as a member of the Board of Education is objectionable to the colored people of this community. The Bee maintains that the removal of Dr. Chancellor was a benefit to the schools, but what must be said of those whom he served so faithfully — Bruce and Mrs. Terrell? No matter what his faults may be, or may have been, did those two individuals show the slightest gratitude towards him? The appointment of Roscoe C. Bruce by Dr. Chancellor was made upon the recommendation, of Mrs. Terrell. In the meantime Dr. Chancellor did not want it to be published that Mrs. Terrell made the appointment, and a request was made by Bruce to state that his appointment was made upon the recommendation of the professors of Harvard College. Dr. Chancellor was to blame by attacking his best friends and serving his enemies, who left him in the hour of need. Dr. Chancellor had no better friends than Captain Oyster, Dr. Everman, Mr. Cox and one or two others. He was told to go slow, and scrutinize closely the recommendations of certain members of the Board of Education. Th recent order by the assistants superintendent, Bruce, compelling the colored teachers to attend the Night Normal School three times a week is one of the most ridiculous moves that has ever been inaugurated in our public schools. Superintendent Hughes would not dare to order the teachers of the white schools, who have been for years teaching and know every principle of every text-book, to attend a Night Normal School. The question that puzzles The Bee is, Where does Bruce get his law for it? Who authorized him to do this? Certainly the Board of Education did not. Mr. Hughes did not. The Bee is of the opinion that Bruce did not get all that was coming to him when he attended the summer school in New York last summer. Because he is in need of more education, he should draw on his imagination, to the extent that colored teachers who taught him are in need of Normal School training at this time. Captain Oyster, this is the colored teachers' burden. For God's sake, relieve them! Professor Stewart, this is the colored teachers' burden. Will you The Bee is informed that Bruce's latest move is the organization of a "Teachers' Extension Course," for those who don't want to give model lessons or attend "Parents' Meetings" or Fortnightly Meetings, are required to meet at Sumner School from 8 to 10 p.m., and three times a week to be taught by High School teachers. Will Superintendent Stewart please inform The Bee whether he has inaugurated such a system in the white schools or whether he has directed this "modern reformer" to introduce such silly methods in the colored schools? Will Superintendent Stewart instruct Bruce in his duties before we lose every colored teacher in our schools? The teachers claim that he is a greater burden than Dr. Chancellor was on the white schools. Mr. Stewart, do your duty. THE OSTRACISED AMERICANS. Prejudice in the American body politic continues to exist. In every walk of life this octracism appears to become more and more prevalent every day. Just what has caused this sudden and unnatural change toward these ostracised Americans The Bee has not been able to fathom. There are a few alleged assaults upon women attributed to colored Americans, and double the number charged against white brutes in every part of our common country. The prejudiced whites don't seem to realize that more crimes are committed by them than by any other class of Americans. The question is again asked, What is best for these ostracised Americans? The argument advanced by the Police Judge Norwood of the State of Georgia is inconsistent with existing conditions. If colored Americans are let alone they will not bother the white race. Those who wish to be white and get away from their race should be permitted to do so. It is this character of people that impede the progressive and honest colored Americans. Some people say that the school at Tuskegee is no good. The Bee brands this as a most infamous falsehood. More schools on the order of the Tuskegee Institute will elevate the masses and perpetuate a movement that will be an honor to posterity. That colored Americans should learn trades cannot be denied. Every day occurrences demonstrate the importance of trade schools for colored Americans. The idea that certain prejudiced whites advance that the colored man is incapable of higher education should not be taken seriously. Any person who has a grain of sense would not utter such a fallacy. The colored American is able to do what any other race can do if he is given an opportunity. If the poor white man would eliminate from his brain the idea that the colored American wants to marry his women, perhaps his nervous system would not become so shocked. No decent colored man is ashamed of his own race women. The Bee is proud of them. There are thousands of noble colored women in this country who are honored and respected for their talents. You will find bad in all races, but for the benefit of those who believe that the height of the colored man's ambition is to marry white women, The Bee brands it as false and malicious. The colored Americans are ostracised, it is true, and their salvation is in unity of action and race pride. PRESIDENT OYSTER. There is not a more honest man on the Board of Education than Captain James F. Oyster. As a member and president he was sincee to Dr. Chancellor and supported him in every measure that he recommended to the Board of Education. The first attack that was made upon the Board and its personnel was by the Superintendent, without cause or provocation. Dr. Chancellor would take no advice and he would listen to none its attack upon Dr. Everman wa unjust, as well as the one he made upon Attorney Horner. Did Dr. Chancellor stop there? No; he went farther and defied the courts and criticised the Commissioners, who had done him no wrong. He started in to revolutionize the entire school system and demoted teachers because some prejudiced supervising principal recommended them. The principal of the Minor School was recommended for demotion or removal because someone had a personal pique against her.* Prof. J. T. Layton would have been removed because he was black had not Captain Oyster stepped in and checked it. He recognized no teacher by the color of his skin. When the teachers appeal to the President of the Board to protect them from the revolutionary methods of those in authority he readily responded and called a check. Captain Oyster as well as the Education Board supported the Superintendent as long as it was for the best welfare of the public school system. The introduction of Latin and German in the seventh and eighth grades would have been followed with the demotion or removal of many worthy teachers. The demotion of the two of the best teachers in the corps, the Misses Patterson, was promised to be rectified by Dr. Chancellor. The demotion of Miss Campbell without a just cause was another unjust act. The demotion of Miss Louisa Dyson, one of the oldest and best teachers in he service, cannot be overlooked. And many other removals were anticipated if Captain Oyster had not called a halt. Now, Captain, let us have a superintendent of the colored schools who will be acceptable to the school system and the people. DR. STEWART. The death of Dr. Charles Carroll Stewart, at one time business manager of The Bee, is one of those acts of God that mortal man cannot prevent. We knew him and loved him as a brother. He may have had his faults, but he was true to his friends. His ambition in life was to help humanity. His untimely death was a surprise to those who knew ihm. We had watched his course from childhood and saw in him traits that would have made him great as a physician. We see him as a struggling boy. We see him in his Indian costume upon the plains of the Wild West. We see him crossing the ocean when but a lad. We see his return and his struggles as a journalist. We see him as a midnight student and at the table with a dissecting knife, studying the human system. We see him lead to the altar his helpmeet and upon his knee his only boy, who survives him. We see him at the bedside administering to the sick and wounded. We see him upon the rostrum delivering his last eulogy over his dead comrades about one month ago. We see him struggling with that grim master who knows no man by the color of his skin, and alas! we see Charles Carroll Stewart in death. Speak of him as he was to man, The selection of Mr. A. T. Stewart as the successor of Dr. William E. Chancellor was received with applause by the large and enthusiastic crowd at the last meeting of the Board of Education on last Saturday evening in the Franklin Building. The people of this city regretted the retirement of Mr. Stewart at the time Dr. Chancellor was named to succeed him, and were more than happy when he received the unanimous vote of the Board of Education last Tuesday night. There is one thing the citizens ask, and that is for Supernitendent Stewart to name a successor to Mr. R. C. Bruce. The people desire it, as Mr. Bruce's usefulness in the schools is at an end. The appointment of ex-Superintendent Cook, Prof. H. M. Brown, or the reappointment of Professor Montgomery will give satisfaction. Does the Board intend to retain Mr. Bruce in the schools? There are rumors that four of the committee that investigated him favor his retention. Can this rumor be true. If true, upon what hypothesis? Did Bruce sustain his charges? If not, should he be retained? The people welcome your return, Mr. Stewart. NIGHT NORMAL SCHOOLS? The Bee is of the opinion that the Board of Education should call Roscoe Conklin Bruce to a halt. He issued an order that all the teachers in the colored schools should attend a Normal Night School. This is something of his own creation. There is no law for such a school, and the Board of Education never gave him any authority to establish such a school. The Bee respectfully asks Superintendent Stewart whether he authorized Roscoe C. Bruce to stablish a Night Normal School for the colored teachers? If such an order was given, where is the law for it? If there is a law for it, why should the order apply to colored schools and not to the white? Is Bruce competent to conduct the colored schools? Is he not as badly in need of a Normal School training as the teachers who are requested to attend the Night Normal School? HON. WM. B. AELISON. There is no man in this country better acquainted with the wants of the people than the distinguished Senator from the State of Iowa. This country is indebted to Senator Allison to such an extent that there should be no opposition to him in his State. The gentleman who is after Senator Allison's seat has on one occasion allied himself with the enemies of the colored Americans. Senator Allison has never, at any time, seen fit to leave his party and ally himself with the Democratic party, the historic enemy of good government and civil liberty. Let every loyal citizen in the State of Iowa see to it that Senator Allison is returned to the Senate. Continued from page t. from Mr. Washington's crown. But let us not forget to honor the memory of our fathers, through whose lives, labors and sacrifices, a foundation was laid for posterity upon which Mr. Washington and other heroes of the present day are building. We ask again: Where does this "new emancipation" that The Bue speaks of come in? My father was an honest man and a good citizen; enjoyed his rights and privileges as such. His son, whom he loved and tried to educate, in jim-crowed, discriminated against, and handicapped in various ways. Thousands of honest, self-respecting and enetrising colored men are denied their right to vote or take any hand in the affairs of the Government. We see caste and prejudice growing. The colored American is being pushed farther and farther to the rear, unless he comes as a serf or a servant. His heroism in war, valor in peace, and loyalty to the flag of this nation count for nothing. In truth might we cry out: "Justice, where is thy virtue? Liberty, where is thy throne?" Is this a foretaste of this "new emancipation" we are to enjoy? Is this a herald of its full? Then the future for the colored man in this country must be dark indeed. Angels might weep. Patrick Henry, the colonial patriot, exclaimed from the depth of his soul: "Give me liberty or give me death!" The inspiration caught in the hearts of the people like fire from the throne of God. The cry resounded from the lips of every honest New England son. But it remained for Attucks, the colored hero of the Boston massacre, to shed the first blood in the conflict which cut the chains that bound this country under the galling yoke of English oppression. Liberty is sweet. Justice is dear to every honest heart. And truly, Right courness exalteth a nation, but sin is reproach to any people. We do not want to censure Mr.Washington. We want to give him credit. If that he has done for his people from an industrial viewpoint. But can the American Negro buy this "new emancipation" at such a price? Mr. Washington is on a pinnacle. Will he stand the critical test? We shall wait and see. The ceremonies, which were brief but impressive, were held in the Franklin School building, and were witnessed by President aJmes F. Oyster and Prof. B. W. Evermann, of the Board of Education; Assistant Superintendent Hughes and the clerical force of the Franklin School. The oath was administered by Prof. John W. F Smith, of the Board's clerical force, shortly after nine o'clock, and at the conclusion of and two members of the Board went into a lengthy conference. Notified of Election. The official notification of his election was presented to Mr. Stuart by Secretary Hine. Captain Oyster then arose and said: "This notification on the part of the secretary is the action of the Board. We have selected you to fill the position of Superintendent, and it is my pleasure to say to you that your selection was unanimous. "Realizing the experience you have had in our schools and knowing the requirements of the place, we have with much care and considerable thought, chosen you above all others for the position. It carries with it many responsibilities. First is that of the law which all good, and respected citizens desire to see administered in spirit and in letter. "We have an able counsel who has been assigned us by the President of the United States, and we would ask that on all questions upon which you have doubt you would confer with him. You are responsible to the Board for the administration of your position, and the Board, in turn, is responsible for the administration of the schools. The educational responsibilities rest with you, and there is no doubt in my mind that the Board will support you in-these matters. The administrative part of the work belongs to the Board. Nothing can be done in an educational and administrative way without our approval." "You have next the responsibility of the children, which must be considered with discretion and judgment on your part. Next comes the teachers, and the Board is a unit in desiring that everything possible should be done for their comfort and welfare. The result of their work depends upon you. "There is a responsibility which you owe the public, which has shown to the Board that it has a deep interest in the situation. These and other responsibilities, the Board believes you will discharge faithfully, and we want you to feel that the Board will aid you in all your cares and responsibilities. "We ask that you be cautious and discreet. Be just and fair in your administrative advice to Board members and in making recommendations to the Board we only ask that you decide what is for the best interest of the schools. Throw responsibilities upon the Board and it will do the rest. We are responsible to the people and to the law and we are carrying out the law to the best of our knowledge and ability. Expert Discharge of Duties. "With these few remarks I believe that we have come to a thorough understanding. We expect you to do your duty and to care for your responsibilities, with as much ease and comfort as possible, throwing the responsibilities of the same upon the Board of Education." At the conclusion of Captain Oyster's address, Professor Evermann was asked if he had anything to say, and replied that he had not except to acquiesce heartily in what the president of th Board had said. He said the Board felt under obligations to Mr. Stuart for the acceptance of the trust. The formal oath was then administered. Assistant Superintendent Hughes was the first to grasp the hand of the new Superintendent and assure him of his cooperation. He was followed by the other school employees present. When Supt. Stewart reached his office, this morning he found awaiting him an immense bouquet of American Beauty roses, sent by the Peabody School. "I was afraid of something like this," he remarked smilingly, as he opened the box. Supervising Principal W. W. Black, of the third division, was the first school officer to obtain an interview with the new Superintendent, arriving before the oath of office had been completed. Asked if there would be any radical change in the administration of the schools, Superintendent Stuart replied: "No; all we want to do now is to keep the schools moving." Superintendent Stuart will name as his secretary Miss Maude Hervral, who has been his scrierty while he acted as director of intermediate induction. Miss Ada Burch, secretary to former Superintendent Chancellor. will remain with the schools in the office of the Secretary of the Board. It is believed that Professor Montgomery will be restored to his former position from which he was transferred against his will. (Special Correspondence to The Bee.) Danville, Ky., December 31. — Our State Teachers' Institute has just closed one of the most successful of all its annual meetings. Teachers from all over the State, in larger numbers than ever before, came into the little town of Danville in order to hear discussions of th problems that are confronting them daily in the schoolroom and to gain inspiration from the lecturers who had been brought from afar to give instruction. The list of invited lecturers included Dr. L. B. Moore, Dean of the Teachers' College of Howard University; Porf. J. R. E. Lee. Dean of the Academic Department of Tuskegee, Alabama; Prof. R. L. Melendy, Director of the People's Institute, Cincinnati, O, and Miss Anna K. Benedict, of Cincinnati. The meetings were full of enthusiasm from beginning to end. Prof. F. L. Williams of Covington presided over the sessions with singular ability and enthusiasm. The papers presented showed careful preparation, and the attendance upon each session demonstrated the devotion of the teachers of Kentucky to the work which they are doing. Noteworthy among the addresses delivered was that by Prof. L. B. Moore, of Howard University, who spoke on Thursday evening on the Negro's part in solving America's greatest problem. The address was replete with statistics of the Negro's progress, showing the moral and intellectual uplift through his own efforts since emancipation. The advice to us came as the advice of an expert who had given much study to the educational side of the Negro problem. He compared the advance which the Negro had made with that which had been made by the Russian freedmen and also brought vividly before us the condition of illiteracy in the countries of Europe as compared with that of the American Negro. He advised, among other things necessary in the solution of this problem, a large degree of self-control and patience on the part of whites and blacks alike and mutual co-operation. He demanded from the American whites, in view of the progress which the Negro had made against many odds, the largest possible liberty including all manhood rights, equality of opportunity in all civil, political and economical paths, and fraternity in all relations of life. The lecture aroused great enthusiasm and the lecturer was often compelled to wait several seconds for the cessation of hearty and spontaneous applause. On the next day Dr Moore gave a more technical address to the teachers, outlining the necessary equipment of the teacher for his work and making brief comparison between the teaching work in America and Germany. Dr Moore's interest and enthusiasm in his own chosen field accounts for the inspiration which he always imparts to others in his addresses. The Kentucky State Teachers' Institute, by a rising vote, expressed thanks to the Doctor and a hearty appreciation of his able lectures. THE BEE WOUL DLIKE TO KNOW Why should Roscoe Bruce be retained. If he will testify before the Senate Committee. If Mr. Chancellor, thinks of Professor Cardoza. If Mary Church Terrell has any conscience. If she knows how kind Chancellor was to her. If she knows that there is a day of retribution. What Dr. Chancellor thinks of Captain Oyster now. What has become of the blacklegs in politics. If the vest pocket walking politicians know how many votes they can control. What has become of the author of the Cardoza letter. If Cardoza is to be reinstated. If not, why not? If Dr. Chancellor has the same opinion of the Board of Education. If he remembers what The Bee told him some time ago. If he has the same opinion of Mary Church Terrell. Has he ever read the story of Cardinal Wolsey. If Roscoe Bruce can read between the lines. If he can keep an official secret. If anyone has any doubt of The Bee's prediction. ADMITTED TO THE BAR Among those who were admitted to the Bar Monday were Jabeze Lee, of North Carolina; John H.

AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS' SEPA- PATION. Mrs. H. J. Herndon. of 731 Thirty-first street northwest, was joyously surprised to answer her doorbell a few days ago and find her sister and niece awaiting admission. She had not seen them for eighteen years. The sister was Mrs. Payton, from Atlanta, Ga. It was a happy and affecting meeting. Mrs. Herndon proceeded to make things jolly by giving quite a number of athemes and inviting her friends to meet the long-separated sister. Miss Payton is the original type of the Southern beauty, and has gained much favor already. Mrs. Payton will spend the winter here, and if satisfied will remain in Washington to be near Mrs. Herndon in the future. When one of The Bee's reporters called New Year's Day, little Miss Payton was having the time of her life, surrounded by lots of the best Washington boys, chatting merrily and entertaining all. The parlor was decdotted with palms and flowers and American flags. SUNDAY SERVICES. Elder E. J. Robinson has decided to open Sunday services every Sunday afternoon at his residence, Fifth and D streets northeast, at three o'clock. Mrs. Robinson, his wife, has been a great worker. It will be remembered that Elder Robinson was one of the founders of Mount Carmel Church, under the late H. V. Plummer.

On the arrival at the church the Order of Elks formed an arch through which the remains were conveyed, and the mourners and friends of the deceased. The rector of St. Mary's Church took for his test: "Night cometh, and no man can see to work." It was a very impressive address. He said in part that no eulogy, sermon or speech would be of any benefit to the deceased, but that his remarks were a lesson directed to the living. He spoke of one duty which in health, what he should not neglect to do for himself. At the conclusion of the sermon the altar girls sang very sweetly several selections. After which the exercises were turned over to the Elks, who conducted the ceremonies in conformity with those of the organization. These exercises were very impressive. Mr. John T. Rhines, secretary of the Elks, read a set of preambles and resolutions, as follows: Whereas, the Great Disposer of Events, Jesus Christ; our Elder Brother, has been pleased to call from these mortal shores to those of life everlasting our late and worthy brother, H. C. Stewart; and Whereas, the intimate relations long held by the deceased with the members of this lodge render it proper that we place on record our appreciation of his services as an Elk as his merits as a man; therefore, be it Resolved, That we deplore the death of our beloved brother, Dr. C. C. Stewart, with the deepest feelings of regret, softened only by the blessed thought of life beyond the grave; for in his death, Morning Star Lodge loses not only a member, not only its medical examiner, but in every sense of the word, a brother—a brother charitable in his walks, just in his dealings, brotherly to his humblest brother as well as to the most exalted, and ever faithful in the discharge of his duties. His amiable disposition, his ceaseless activities in the interest of our lodge, have endeared him to the heart of each membr. Resolved,That we tender to his afflicted widow and relatives our sincere condolence and our earnest sympathy in their affliction at the loss of one who was a good citizen, a devoted Elk, and an upright man. Resolved, That the members of this lodge will attend our deceased brother to the grave in a body; that our altar and half of meeting be draped in black, the emblem of mourning. for thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions, signed by the Exalted Ruler, and certified to by the secretary, be transmitted to the widow and relatives of the deceased. These resolutions were adopted by the Morning Star Lodge, Sunday, January 5th, 1008. J. L. James, Exalted Ruler. John T. Rhines, Secretary. The remains were conveyed to Harmony Cemetery. where they were placed in the vault. FUNERAL OF JOHN CRAIG. On Thursday last the remains of the late John Craig were buried from the residence of his next friend, Eugene Brooks, 1437 Pierce Place northwest. Deceased was a native and resident of this District and to the time of his demise was a trusted employee of the United States Supreme Court. The Rev. Mr. Welch, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, conducted the funeral services over the deceased (by request of his relatives), assisted by the Rev. William V. Tunnell. of Howard University. The Rev.Mr.Welch during the course of his remarks spoke substantially as follows: That, though he was a stranger, comparatively, in the city of Washington, nevertheless he readily and most willingly testified to the reputable standing of the deceased in this community as a Christian man and gentleman; that, from all points came to him expressions of the highest respect and deepest regret at the death of Mr.Craig. The Rev. Mr. Tunnell also paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the deceased. Deceased to the time of his death was active in both Church and social organizations. Though unconnected with any church, his sympathies and activities seemed to have been given in a marked degree toward furthering the interests of St. Luke's Protstant Episcopal Church. He occasionally attended services, there and was a most generous and liberal contributor to the burdens of the parish. He was a member of the Men's Club of the parish, the Bannaker Relief, the Frederick Douglass, and the Crispus Attucks Associations, all of which were represented at the funeral by liberal delegations. A large number of distinguished friends attended the funeral, including Dr. Thomas J. Brown, rector of St. Luke's Church; the Hon. Chief Justice Fuller and the Hon.

Starting only a few short years ago, with nothing save grit, industry and sobriety for capital he is now the sole proprietor of one of the largest transfer and storage companies in the State of Ohio. His new storage house, large and commodious, is packed to the roof with stored goods, and he will be forced, by the expansion of his trade, to shortly erect another storage house. Last week Mr. Ward accomplished a coup that brought him in possession of a handsome residence in the aristocratic section of the city. There was a beautiful residence for sale, but the neighbors did not care to have a Negro buy in their midst, so attempted to prevent its sale to a Negro, but while they were considering "ways and means" of preventing it, Mr. Ward, with his characteristic hustle and business foresight, stepped in, and by paying spot cash, closed the deal for the property, and this handsome residence is now added to Mr. Ward's rapidly increasing chain of possessions. --- Beverages Buy your Wines and Distillates of a Wine Merchant, who intimately knows their nature.

FOR TRIFLING ILLS IMPORTANCE OF SOME KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE. Ailments Likely to Become Serious Can Be Checked in Their Incipiency if One Understands How 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 record minor alliances 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 poco cresc. e accell. a-tempo. sing without words. case. The amateur student of these difficulties should not rely upon her scrapbook when hiding 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 taved, says the Delineator. Let her first mix a little butter and flour in her stewpan, 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 Boil an Egg. Most people drop an egg into boiling water and let it cook steadily for three minutes for a so-called soft-boiled 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-boiled 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 pie and one tablespoonful of flour; no one can tell the difference. For custard pie two eggs and a tablespoonful of flour. Put Snow in Cakes A cupful of light, new fallen snow stirred into 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.* PINAUD'S HAIR TONIC (EAU DE QUININE) Candied Citron and Earana Pie Are Both Recommended. A novelty for the home candy makers is candied citron. Go make it. Peel and core the citron and cut it into strips or cubes. Weigh the fruit, and to each pound of it allow a pound of granulated sugar and a teaspoonful of water. Put sugar and water into a perforated kettle and cook to a sipup, laying the citron in it as soon as the sugar is dissolved. When the fruit is tender, take it out of the kettle with a perforated spoon, and spread on a bread platter while you add a little ginger to the sipup, then boil it until it is thick. Stir in a little lemon juice, return the citron to the kettle and stir until candied and thick with sugar, then drain and lay on platers to dry. Banana pie is the latest for the pie weary. This does not mean that the fresh fruit is sliced up—it is a much richer fruit than this, and is made of evaporated bananas. They are treated like dried apples of old before being made up into pastry. The evaporated bananas hold a dozen things for the house that gets tired of its bill of fare. Breakfast food, pancake flour and cookies with a dainty flavor all their own are made from the banana flour, "of which," say the cooking experts, "you can make anything that can be made of white flour." Banana figs, which are dried in their own sirup, are a new form of the fruit to add to the Christmas preserve table, and banana sirup is put up as a rival of maple sirup in flavor. A noted Boston cook has a trick of substituting flour for one of the eggs ordinarily required to every quart of milk in a custard pudding. The recipe calls for a quart of milk, four tablespoons of flour three eggs, hair a was, amount of salt, a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of vanilla and half a cup of granulated sugar. Reserve half a cup of the milk and put the rest on the stove to boll. Mix the flour, after slitting, with the cold milk and gradually stir them into the boiling milk, taking care that lumps do not form. When thick add the egg yolks, which should have been beaten with the sugar, salt and extract. Then take the boiler from the stove and add the butter. Put immediately into a baking dish just small enough to put inside of a pretty pudding lish when ready to serve. After baking cover with a meringue made with the whites of the eggs that were left ever after making the pudding. Serve very cold. Cocking Mushrooms. Among the many different ways of preparing them there are two simple ones—brolled and sauté—which prove best, on account of their retaining the mushroom's own flavor. In all instances cut the stem off close to the gills and peel the cap from edge to crown. If to be broiled cook them over a low fire, laying them upon an oyster broiler, placing the gills down for a few moments with a fork turn. Carefully scatter very little salt over them and, previous to their getting tender, place a pit of butter in the center of each mushroom. In melting it will pass through the gills, improving them greatly. Serve on hot toast, which allows all of the mushroom flavor to come forth. In sauté place them in a saucepan with a trifle of butter—nothing else—cooking them, beneath a cover, about three-quarters of an hour over boiling water. The brown juice cooks out, which moistens the toast. Cream may be used. It is important to serve them hot, for a draft or chill is sure to spoil the best cooked dish.

D.—A few weeks ago a number of Wessington Springs girls adopted an orphan girl and now are giving her a home. Since the fact became known the girls have received numerous applications to adopt other children, but the most interesting feature of the whole affair is that a wealthy Nebraskan writes offering to marry any one of the 12 foster mothers, and also to adopt and educate the child The girls gave the proposition a business-like consideration, and in reply to his letter made a counter proposition. It was that the oldest of the 12 accept his offer of marriage on these conditions: That he prove that he is sincere. That he be qualified in every way to contract marriage. That he is able to provide a comfortable home for his bride and is 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 profano language. That he spend his evenings at home. That he will not flirt with other women and will attend church at least once each Sunday. The Nebraskan's answer is awalted with interest. MORE DIVORCES IN GERMANY. Greater Proportion of Marriage Failures in the Large Towns. Berlin.—The number of divorces in Prussia has increased rapidly of late years and is still growing. In 1901 there were 4,675 divorces and the last annual total reported by the Registrar was 6,856. These were very unevenly distributed, the more densely populated districts showing a far greater proportion of dissolved marriages than the more sparsely inhabited sections. Again, the religious belief of the people seems also to have had considerable effect on their views as to the disruption of the marriage tie, Protestants, according to the returns, displaying greater readiness to seek divorce than Catholics. Taking the country as a whole, one divorce is granted to every 1,000 marriages. Berliners, however, who are overwhelmingly Protestant, obtain one decree for every 300 marriages; the Protestant provinces of Schleswig-Holstein and Brandenburg one in 750; Saxony, Pomerania and East, Prussia, 1 in 1,000; Hesse-Nassau, 1 in 1,100, and Hanover, 1 in 1,400. On the other hand, the Catholic provinces of West Prussia, Schleswig and Rhineland show only one divorce for every 1,250 marriages, Westphalia one in 2,000 and Posen and Hohenzollern only one in 3,000.

There are many dalnty ways of cooking fish besides frying, boiling and baking. Some of these are quite as easy of achievement and as inexpensive as the foregoing modes, moreover, nicer. Fish with a cheese sauce is 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 it carefully. Then place it in a clean enameled stewpan, add three gills of milk, salt, an onion, notched in order that the juice 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 it up hot and add from two ounces to four ounces, according to taste, of grated cheddar or Dutch cheese. Stir until the cheese has thoroughly melted, pour it over and around the fish and serve at once. Here is a simpler and quicker way of cooking a small piece of white fish. Wash and dry, place in a well-greased fireproof china dish, sprinkle thickly with fried bread crumbs, minced parsley, 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 bottle of tomato catsup; sprinkle more bread crumbs on top and bake in a moderate 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 invalid is an art, and in some cases a lost art. A tray with legs six or seven inches high is the most comfortable way of serving food, still the effort may be too great and a glass tube be better. Always have the nourishment attractively served, for a daltony dolly under the bowl of broth may attract the wavering appetite. 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: Molisten a teaspoonful of real Bermuda arrowroot with water, rub smooth with a spoon, pour on half a pint of boiling water and season with wine and nutmeg. In cooking arrowroot it is wise to make it thick, afterward thinning with milk. Panada is also grateful. Put a few crackers or crusts of dry bread in a sawhoran with cold water and a few 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 dainty 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 accompaniment to the repast.

G. Critchlow. Grand President of the I. L. U. Grand Lodge, of Dayton, Ohio, against the colonizing of the Negro race, separate and apart from the white people. Mr. Critchlow is outspoken in his views on this question, and he has evidently weighed his words carefully before speaking, for he gives the reasons for his attitude in such a clear and convincing manner as to merit the approbation of all loyal colored people He claims that the so-called 'race prejudice' is being broken down and it is only a question of time until the Negro will be nationally recognized as an equal, morally and industrially, and according all rights due him as such. If the colored people were to return to Africa, Mr. Critchlow says, as some race leaders advocate, it would precipitate a condition of civil warfare in this country that we would all deprecate. Moreover, Mr. Critchlow contends that tunic is impossible of attainment, as those so advocating must surely know. The colored people must stay here, educate themselves, and by courage and force of character rise to their proper position, and when they do they will surely be accorded all the rights and dignity that is due them, advocates Mr. Critchlow. Mr. Critchlow has made a close study of this question, being a white man, and the Grand President of the I. L. U. Grand Lodge. This is an Order composed of both white and colored people, without race or sex discrimination, being risen above such petty things as this. This Order protects all laboring people, assists its members during sickness or distress as well as carrying a funeral benefit on each member of the family. It is growing very fast and promises to become one of the biggest Orders in this country within a short time. This movement will never stop, Mr. says, until an I. L. U. Lodge is formed at every school and church, and in every town and city in the country where white and colored, labor can be found. Mr. Critchlow is calling for more deputies to assist him, saying he will pay well for all who answer this call, and if any of our readers want to know about this growing Order they can get full information by addressing a letter of inquiry to the following address: Grand President Critchlow, 107 I. L. U. Building, Dayton, Ohio. THE DEAN? From the Philadelphia Tribune Since T. Thomas Fortune has retired from the journalistic field, our friend, Harry Smith of the Cleveland Gazette, claims to be the Nestor of the Afro-American press. No one will dispute his claim, except it be our other very good friend, W. Calvin Chase, of The Bee. The rest of us are content to remain members of the junior class. The Cleveland Gazette may be the Nestor of Negro journalism, or it may not be. The jackass sense it displays does not demonstrate its claim. The older it grows the less sense it displays. The Bee makes claims to nothing, Brother Chris. The business end of The Bee and Tribune speaks, you know. Do you catch on? Mrs. Dr. Harris and a bevy of ladies attended the KnightsTemplar reception. They took the cake. Miss Lucy Roy, aunt of Jessie Roy, deceased, was buried last Monday from Nineteenth Street aptist Church. Senator Dolliver of Iowa is planning to start for the Hawkeye State early in January to assist in the campaign for re-election of his friend, Senator Allison. As a specimen of the result of so much foreign emigration to the United States a 'Black Hand's Murder School of Institution was caught in the' act by the police of Pittsburgh, Pa. (And yet the Negro is claimed to be the Black Sheep of the United States.) A thousand saloons in Chicago will close their doors owing to the scarcity of barley. Oklahoma has had its first lynching bee. A mob ynched James Gardner, colored, for killing Albert Bates, white, in a quarrel. The authorities are bent on making an example, if possible. Christmas has come and gone. A great many had, and a great many had not. The moving of the Sixth Street Depot has made quite a change in business circles in that part of the city. We are affected by the same, as a great many of our people had work in the vicinity. Grand Master Robert Norman is slick at his home, K and Seventh streets northwest (Compack Masons).

(The only body of Ancient York Masons in the District of Columbia is the F. A. A. A. York Masons, National Compack, incorporated and working under a National Grand Body (incorporated); instituted June 24th, St. John's Day, at Boston, Mass., 1847, A,D. and still in existence.) From recent developments the President is getting the short end of the Big Stick. Judge W. Z. Davis, of Ohio, in part synopsis, says that the President is arrogant and guilty of the unpardonable sin of ingratitude in his opposition to Senator J. B. Foraker, who in 1903 turned over the Ohio delegation, against the wishes of Mark Hanna, to Roosevelt. (N. B.—Remember the black troops at San Juan Hill.) Surgeon General Rixey, the President's medical adjutant general, has been rebuked by Senator Hale, one of the most influential Senators of the Senate, and Admiral Brownson praised. (N. B.-Brownsville.) Now, to top it off, Private Oscar W. Reed, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, has entered suit against the President in the United States District Court of New York, backed by wealthy gentlemen of the New England States, to recover certain moneys due him by virtue of illogical discharge JAMES F.
