V0L.27 NO.36 TEACHERS COERCED WHO IS RTSPONSIBLE? TEACHERS TOLD THEY MUST SIGN. Petitions were circulated some time ago by the supervising principals of the colored schools. Teachers were told that it was the wish and desire of the colored superintendent of schools that they sign the petitions presented to them by the colored supervisors. Many of the teachers refused to sign the petition in its present shape. It is said that many threats were made if the teachers did not sign, and notwithstand ing such threats there were many of the teachers that stood upon their constitutional rights. The Senate Committee that will soon investigate the schools will no doubt summon those teachers who refused to sign the petition and ask them why and by whose authority the petition was Presented. This information may be obtained from the colored supervising principals who circulated the petition. One teacher especially was reprimanded by a colored official because she had declined to sign. It is not believed that the Board of Education has anything to do with tese petitions, and it is not presumed that any authority was given the colored school officials by Mr. Stuart to circulate this petition among the colored teachers. DR. WASHINGTON AT HOWARD. Dr. Booker T Washington delivered an unusually eloquent and comprehensive address on Tuesday of last week to the faculty and student-body of Howard University on the practical aspect of education and life. The spacious auditorium eof Andrew Rankin Memrial Chapel was packed to its utmost capacity, rivaling the immense throng which greeted President Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie, Ambassador Bryce and Secretary Garfield on the occasion of the inauguration of President Thirkield in November On the platform were Justice Job Barnard, president of the Board of Trustees of the University; Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, of Gallaudet College; Rev. J. G. Butler, of Luther Place Memorial Church; Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke, Professor Chickering, Prof. J. H. N. Waring of Baltimore, and many others of like prominence. Dr. Washington was never in better voice and seemed keenly alive to the spirit of optimism and cheer that pervaded the entire proceedings. He was accorded an ovation upon entering the hall and it is safe to say that few addresses if any were ever received with more enthusiastic interest. Once again he may be said to have made "the speech of his life." He spoke along his usual lines of self-helpfulness, impressing the value of industry and the dignity of labor, and the liberal applause indicated that he had won a host of new friends and admirers. He said, among other pertinent things "A Negro should have faith in himself. Go out into the world, students of Howard, and make a place for yourselves. Don't rely on getting a position from a white man. Be, independent. Go into a business that will make you independent, even if you have to borrow the money to do it. If you have chosen a profession which you wish to follow the rest of your lives, go to the South. There is greater opportunity there for the man with a profession than in any section of the country. Go into a community where you are needed, where the white man has not been before you. Don't stay in Washington, where every calling is overcrowded. There is one physician to every 258 persons in this city. In the South ou have an abundance of opportunities to be useful, not only to yourselves, but to every member of your race." President Thirkield Endorsed. Before entering upon the main thread of his magnificent address, Dr. Washington was introduced in felicitous style by President Thirkield, and gave the new administration and work of the institution the following hearty and sincere endorsement "I am glad to be here," said Dr. Washington. "I wish to take this occasion to express my regret at not being able to be present when your president was inaugurated some weeks ago. "I am glad to be officially connected with this university; a great university; one that has back of it a unique history; one that has back of it a record of continued usefulness." "I feel very much at home with you. I believe in your president largely for the reason that I have known him in the South for many years, have work- ed with him, have watched his career, and especially have I noted his deep and unfailing interest in all that concerns the welfare of our race. While in the South, at the head of one of our largest and most important institutions, his course was characterized by wisdom, prudence and courage, and I am glad to note that the same qualities which made his work so successful in the South are being manifested at the head of this great university, which we must all strive to make the pride of our race. I believe in his policies. I believe in the work of this university, and I am grateful to you, my fellow-members of the Trustee Board, for permitting me to have some little part in this great work which you are undertaking. Wherever and whenever my voice or my acts can in any slight degree contribute toward the further upholding and further strengthening of this institution, you have but to call upon me and my voice and my body, will be at your service." (Applause, long and enthusiastic.) Busy Day. Dr. Washington put in a busy day while in the city. Besides delivering the address above mentioned, he attended an important meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University, of which he is a member. The Board took up a number of matters of great moment, prominent among them a consideration of the conditions relative to the acceptance of Andrew Carnegie's generous gift of $50,000 for a new library building. Arrangements of a satisfactory nature were agreed upon, and the actual work of erecting the structure will be commenced as soon as the designs can be prepared and passed on. Dr. Thirkield, president of the institution, reported that the work was in an unusually favorable condition. The present enrollment is 1,020, the largest in the history of the school, and that the faculty, the students and the people within the sphere of Howard's beneficent influence were never in heartier accord. The curriculum has been materially improved and the standard of the personnel of the students have been raised by judicious elimination, and that all departments are reaping gratifying results. The alumni is taking hold vigorously of the plan for raising $25,000 for the new Science Hall, to cost $100,000 as authorized by the Board of Trustees. The accommodations are sadly overtaxed, and a new hall is absolutely needed. The College of Arts and Sciences has increased from 62 in 1906 to beyond the 100 mark. Dr. Kelly Miller has been made Dean and is carrying on the work with his well-known vigor and ability. Dr. Thirkield expressed himself as being especially pleased with the tangible evidences of prosperity and increased popular interest in the school, growing out of the presence of Dr. Washington on the Board of Trustees, looking upon such an acquisition as an earnest of the broadening scope of the university, and the formal recognition of the natural kinship of the spiritual and material elements that go to make the wellrounded man of affairs. MUST PAY UP. Hereafter Newspaper Subscriptions All Must be Paid in Advance to Go Through the Mails. Under a recent ruling of the United States Postoffice Department, all subscriptions to newspapers must be paid in advance. If they are not paid in advance it will require a one-cent stamp on each newspaper to send it through the mail. The following is the section of the postal law: Section 436-3—A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of subscriptions, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following periods: Dailies, within three months; they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at the second class postage rate of one cent a pound, but may be mailed at the transient second class postage rate of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed. Thi. means that after the first of April newspaper subscriptions will have to be prepaid. Subscribers will save annoyance by getting on the safe side of the calendar. PROFESSOR GRAY. The Bee has just received a beautiful New Year, card from Prof. J. H Gray, of Philadelphia, author and poet. On the inside leaf of the card is a beautiful poem, entitled "The Year That Is Gone." The Bee extends its congratulations to its friend, Professor Gray. READ THE BEE WAR WITH JAPAN WAR WITH JAPAN IN THE EVENT OF WAR WITH JAPAN WILL COLORED AMERICANS BE ENLISTED? There is every indication that the United States and Japan will have a bloody conflict. Just how soon this conflict will occur is a conjecture. In the event that aJapan and the United States go to war, The Bee would like to know if colored Americans who are discriminated against will be enlisted? Will the Government believe that colored men who have shown their superior fighting qualities be enlisted?. In no war between the United States and other nations has the colored American been found wanting. Perhaps an attempt will be made to enlist the colored man and mjke breastworks of him to protect the white soldiers from the attacks of shots. aJapan is preparing for war and the United States might as well prepare to meet the exigencies of this coming war. It will be A A ED. FOR JAMES A ROSS. a fight to the finish. Japan, intoxicated over the victory of the Russians, will enter blindly a rebellious attack against the United States. Will Vardaman, Tillman and others like them lead a Southern army to Japan? They claim to be brave and defiant. They have no regard for law or order. When they attack the colored American they pretend that they have valor or courage. Will they show it in such a contest with Japan? Tillman and Vardaman claim that they possess superior courage to any Southerner. The Japanese are purchasing coal and when they attack the United States you may depend on it that they are well prepared. There was much merriment created at the last session of the oBard of education. It will be remembered that the teachers showed their dislike for Mrs. Mary Church Terrell by not honoring her with flowers as they did certain other members of the Board. Upon the table in the oBard room, in front of Mrs. Terrell, was a bunch of American Beauty roses last week. The inscription on the card read like this: "For your services in behalf of the teachers," etc. There was no name attached to the card, and who sent them no one knows; but Mrs. Terrell, the lady who seems to be one of the most officious members of the Board, was determined that she should not be outdone. Just what Mrs. Terrell has done for the teachers who claimed to have sent her those flowers the investigation committee of the Senate will do doubt make an inquiry. It is not presumed that the chairman of the recent reception committee honored her with those American Beauty roses, or any member of her committee. Will the lady inform The Bee who graced her space with those American Beauty roses? The people no doubt would be plueased to know. WHO SENT THEM? CANDIDATES FOR DELEGATES WHO THEY ARE, AND WHAT THEY STAND FOR. Every four years the local politicians get the political fever. Many of them are never heard from until the election of delegates comes around. They never present their claims to the voters until this time. In the coming contest there are several aspirants for delegates to the National Republican Convention, and many of them advance certain reasons why they should be elected.Heretofore many of these candidates did not know the coming people, but now it is amusing more so many of them recognizing and speaking with high degree politicians, the common gutter snipes who heretofore never were known. Among some of those who have announced their candidacy are: First — Dr. J. H Wilder, who came to this city several years ago from Charleston, S. C. He went to Howard University and graduated in medicine. He belongs to the blue-vein element in South Carolina. His alternate is Rey. THE NEW YORK TIMES Clair, of Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church Rev. Clair, is an itinerant minister. Both candidates are circulating a petition among the doctors, druggists, school teachers and ministers. Many of whom have declined to sign it. This petition is to be published to show the esteem it which they are held by those who signed it. Those who signed this petition never vote and never take any part in politics. Attorney R. R. Horner, formerly of Warrenton, Va.-He was a McKinley district delegate from Virginia in 1900 and removed to this city shortly after the re-election of McKinley and was admitted to practice law Mr. Horner is supported by Henry Lacy, Perry Carson, Eugene Welburn and endorsed by the Blaine Invincible Club. His candidate for National Committeeman is Perry Carson. Attorney L. M. King. — Also of Virginia. He is a prominent member of the bar. His candidacy is backed by Dr. W. Bruce Evans and members of Morning Star Lodge of Elks. Mr. King has a strong support from that organization. Mr John W. Patterson, also from Virginia, but now a resident of this city. He claims the support of Gaskin and Gaines, Barney McCabe, William Murrell, Bud Minor and others. In this connection these gentlemen have endorsed Major Burte, who has declined to run unless he is sent on his record and what he has done for his country. When asked by the local statesmen if he was going to spend any money he politely informed them at a meeting held in Gaskin and Gaines that he did not intend to spend one cent. "If you want me as a delegate, I am willing to make the run. He further stated to the local statesmen and politicians, 'And if you expect money, I want to tell you now, I am not a candidate.' These remarks, coming from General Burte to the hungry coin-hunters somehat cooled their ardor, and from all reports they are looking for another candidate who will put up the 'stuff." The local statesmen are at sea. Many of them are holding side-show meetings to impress candidates that they carry all the votes in their vest pockets. One of these local statesmen called to see a distinguished Republiican a few weeks ago and informed him if he should run on the ticket with another certain Republiican, his district, which he carries in his vest pocket, will defeat him. This local statesman has not received his pardon as yet. Ther are others like him who are impediments to Republiican success and injurious to the party. For these reasons there are hundreds of white and colored Republiicans of character and reputation who refuse to take active part in local politics. These have become disgusted at the manner in which they are approached for money. Many of these are in the skin game, and if candidates have any sense they will not be skinned by these Shvlocks, whose stock in local politics is dishonesty. It is evident that the Board of Election will conduct the election in a satisfactory manner, and that Chaiman Bieber will do his best to satisfy everybody. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL. The plans for the proposed National Training and Industrial Institute to be established in the District of Columbia for colored boys and girls, of which Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. is the promoter, are being carried out in a most definite and encouraging manner. A bill asking for an appropriation of $100,000 for the establishment of this school was introduced in Congress oMnday; January 20, by Senator H. C. Lodge, of Massachusetts. Justice Ashley M. Gould, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, presided at a large mass-meeting which was held-Sunday, a January 20, at Belasco Theatre, Washington, D.C., for the purpose of showing to the Congressmen and Senators the great desire on the part of the people for the establishment of such a school as the one proposed. In his introductory remarks Justice Gould said: "The day has passed in this country, as it passed many years ago in Europe, when it is necessary to say anything in favor of industrial training and industrial education, so that there is no person within the sound of m voice who needs to be told that the cause which is being advocated here this afternoon is one that should merit the enthusiastic support of every good citizen, whatever his creed or whatever his color. Anyone familiar with local conditions, moreover, does not question that the District of Columbia is the most fitting place for a national school which shall the work that has been carried on so nobly at Hampton Institute, and by Professor Washington, farther South." Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield president of Howard University who was then introduced, said: "I want to give my word of testimony showing my confidence in the trustworthy and high character of the good man who stands behind this noble work for the uplifting of his people. He came to me some time ago to ask me to take a place upon the Board of Trustees. I did not have time then to look thoroughly into the plans for this enterprise, but when I saw such names as he has secured, in the persons of Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland, Gen. John B Henderson, John Joy Edson, Brainard H. Warner, Cuno H. Rudolph, Judge William H. Delacey, Professor Needham, president of George Washington University; Justice Ashley M. Gould, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. William V. Eunnelly, Bishop George W. Clinton, Mr. Thomas Walker, Hon. William E. Curtis of the Chicago Record-Herald, composing the obard of Trustees, I felt that it must be an enterprise that was worth the co-operation of all good men. There is hardly such a thing as high education and low education, but all education in a sense is one. Education is simply reaching men and drawing out the best that is in them. I think with Spencer, 'Education is preparing a man for complete living.' Dr. Thirkield then mentioned the history of Helen Keller's educational development and the noble work done by the teacher who laid down her life beside that of Helen Kellar until the final consummation, shown by the graduation of Miss Kellar from Radcliffe College, Harvard University. The other speakers were Rev. Richard D. Harlen, Prof. H V. Tunnelly, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, and Rev.Abram Simons. Illustrious H. L. Livingston, Shiek of Mecca Oasis, Washington, D. C., has departed to the Unseen Temple. Sharif Read The Bee.

FOR THE LUNCHEON CREAM OR POTATO SOUP MAKES EXCELLENT DISH. Left-Overs of Many Kinds May Be Used in Preparing Them—Expert's Recipe for Boston Brown Bread. Cream soups of left-over beans, peas, onions or several things make appetizing luncheon dishes. A hot, well-seasoned potato soup is very good with toasted crackers and a pinch of dried parsley to set it off. To make it take a quart of milk, six large potatoes, one stalk of celery, an onion, a tablespoonful of butter. Put milk to boil with onion and celery; pare the potatoes and boil them until they are thoroughly done; turn off the water and mash fine; add milk and butter, pepper and salt; rub through a strainer and serve immediately. No cream soup should stand of be allowed to get cold. The Designer publishes a recipe for Boston brown bread: Slift together one whole cupful each of cornmeal, rye meal and wheat flour, one teaspoonful of salt and three teaspoonfuls of soda; add one-half cupful of molasses and two cupfuls of thick sour milk. Beat thoroughly and let it steam in a nicely buttered mold or tightly covered pail for fully three hours. If baking powder cans are used for molds, one and one-half hours' cooking will be sufficient. Entire wheat or graham flour can be used in place of the white flour if desired. After steaming the bread it is well to remove the cover of the mold and set the bread in the oven for 20 or 30 minutes to ripen. Sweet potato time gives many dishes to the table that make the mouth water—carameled sweet potatoes, dusted with heavy brown sugar and fried; creamed sweet potatoes, sweet potato croquettes and baked and boiled sweet potatoes. The following does away with the hard skin that forms on sweet potatoes baked; Wash and wipe them dry, and then grease them liberally with butter or lard. Bake them in a quick oven and, when done, put them in a deep bowl, or crock, spread a cloth over them and let them remain undisturbed for about ten minutes before serving them. Cream Candy Bonbons—The basis of all cream candy is made by taking one pound of white granulated sugar, half a teacupful of water and one fourth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar; this prevents the sugar from granulating again when the water evaporates. Boll these together until they begin to thread. Pour it out at once on a buttered platter and with a wooden paddle beat it until it becomes white and smooth. When it becomes stiff and dry mold it in one lump and cut it in three parts. Add one teaspoonful of an List to what the breast is high, Down each vernal sigh! ...

Dates and pieces of figs are used outside or in; grated cocoanuts may be used in with some of the fondant. All cream candies must dry 24 hours. One drop of cochineal will give a delicate pink to one part of the flavoring. Yellow comes from orange peel and green from spinach leaves. Put into dainty boxes and you will have delicious bon- bons and cost but little time or money. Serving Crackers. The hostess who is ever on the lookout for novelties for her afternoon tea table should be sure to serve her crackers in little baskets made of themselves. Use salted wafers for the basket, allowing one to a side, and tying them together with a narrow satin ribbon about a quarter of an inch in width. Put this on a handsome plate covered with a lace dolly and pile the other crackers in and around it. The effect is charming and will be much admired. One hostess used these cracker baskets as corner pieces on her luncheon table. In the center were purple asters, while the crackers were tled with purple ribbon the same shade and were filled with purple and white grapes. Sour Milk Waffles. Two and one-half cups flour, one level teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful soda, two cups thick sour milk, three eggs and three tablespoons-melted butter. Sift together the flour, salt and soda. Beat the yolks of the eggs until light, add the sour milk, and add the flour. Add the butter, beat well, and fold in the whites of the eggs (beaten stiff). Cook in a well-greased hot waffle iron. Serve plain or with maple syrup. Salted Almonds. Pour boiling water over one pound of nuts, let stand until cool; take out a few at a time, as they blanch more easily when damp. Lay on a paper over night to dry. In the morning put in the oven. When located take out, put in a piece of butter the size of an English walnut. Stir thoroughly, salt to taste. Put back in oven, stir repeatedly until a delicate brown. Do not have oven too hot or they will burn. Better watch them closely. Rice Meringue. One cup boiled rice, one large pint of milk, two eggs, one large cup of sugar, one lemon. Illl the milk, stir in rice, the yolks of the eggs and sugar, and cook thick as soft custard. Take from fire, grate in rind of lemon, pour in buttered dish, beat whites of eggs, add lemon juice and little sugar. Pour over pudding and brown. This is delicious. ED.

PINAUD BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY Ask your dealer for ED. PINAUD'S HAIR TONIC and LILAC VEGETAL THE RAW CURRANT PRAISED BY WRITER AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET. May Be Given in Quantities to Children with Only the Most Beneficial Results, on Scientific Authority. Until the last year or two mothers have felt it a sort of solemn duty to keep a very tight hand over the currant-bag, declares a writer in London Madame. "If you have them now you cannot have them in the cake," we say to the bairns, and, when once more reminded that the currants would be more fully appreciated now than they could possibly be at tea-time, we give the sober answer: "They aren't good for you, dear, and you mustn't ask again." Now that is just where we mothers go wrong. Raw currants are good for our children—immensely better than the raw, unripe gooseberries and the sour green apples which we know they eat from the garden, better, also, than any other under-ripe or over-ripe fruit whatsoever. Dried currants, in their uncooked state, are so exceedingly light and so very nutritious that—provided the skin of the berry is broken before the fruit is swallowed—90 per cent of the total, weight of the fruit is digested within half an hour of its being eaten, and mothers may safely take this as a vindication of the wholesomeness of the raw currant. No grown-up person, no little child, can obtain anything but good from this fruit if only the simple precaution be taken to pierce the skin by the natural process of mastication. Almost it would seem that the more precious the food the more snugly does nature wrap it up. Peas and beans are very nutritious—see how carefully nature packs them; nuts are famous for nutritive value—nature packs them in wooden cases. Currants are, weight for weight, more nutritious than any other fruit known to man and, though the berries are small and insignificant looking, nature has taken care, that the fine skin shall be just strong enough to preserve the precious fruit from injury. It is seldom that one sees a bruised or broken currant, yet the covering of the berry is so very fine that when once broken it rapidly becomes part and parcel with the soluble matter of the currant. It has been proved by our scientists that none of the nutritment of the currant-grape escapes from the fruit during the simple process of drying, which is carried out in the open sunshine and fresh air. Currants lose only water in this drying, and the effect of the sunshine upon the gathered fruit is simply to change the fleshy portion of the currant into what is known as grape sugar. Grape sugar is the most highly nutritive of all foods, and it is because currants are so remarkably rich in it that Sir Francis Laking, our own king's doctor, recommends them so heartily to people of all ages and all classes of society. Sir Francis is of the opinion that when once the people of this country have become fully aware of the food values of this wonderful fruit, Greeces will have no time to look further for purchasers for all the currants she is able to produce. With testimony such as this to reassure us, wg mothers may cast every doubt to the winds and gladly provide our children with a full sufficiency of the fruit that is at once so wholesome and so inexpensive.

F-757 Prices in the Diamond market are advancing, but OUR PRICES HAVE'NT BEEN ADVANCED in some time. We still have a large collection of superb Diamonds which we bought a considerable time ago at lower prices than prevail today. We shall not advance prices on these stones. We are merchants and not speculators, and our fair percentage of profit is all we ask. So, as long as these Diamonds last, it will be possible to buy them here under the regular market for REMEDY FOR TORN MATTING. Darn with Colors of RaMa to Match Straw. Often in moving a heavy piece of furniture the matting on the floor will have an ugly hole torn in it. The torn place is usually where it is the most noticeable and cannot be covered with a rug. There is an excellent way to remedy this defect by darning the place with raffia of colors to match the matting straw. It is much better than threads and the work can be neatly done. It may be necessary to run heavy cords across the work through which the raffia is to be woven. The threads are sewed in place with a large darning needle. Torn places on the edge of matting can be remedied in the same manner. It is best to sew matting together with a loose stitch, using very heavy linen thread for the purpose, but where this cannot be done then use the regular matting tacks or ordinary tacks, placing first one side, then the opposite side to prevent the baggy appearance which so often occurs. Never use a claw hammer to lift tacks from matting, since it invariably breaks the straw. Get an old blunt chisel, place it beneath the matting and tack-head, pound gently with the hammer and pry the tack up. This will draw the tack out straight and leave the matting unbroken. If matting is used in a room during the winter, cover the floor with paper covering and pad lightly with newspapers. The cold air cannot penetrate a floor covering of that kind. VARIETY OF THE CAKE MAKER Meant to Satisfy Longing for "Some- thing Different."- Instead of cooking all the sugar or ginger cookies the same size try cutting some out with small cans, baking the same as larger cookies. Make a boiled frosting of one cup of sugar and a little water, boiled until it will thread, and then poured slowly over the beaten whites of two eggs. Beat until cold. Flavor and spread on small cookies; dip into cocoanut and press two cookies together. This makes a neat little cake, and may be made with colored or chocolate frosting and cocoanut omitted, just as one pleases. The small round centers of dough left when cutting out doughnuts are nice fried and dipped in the frosting and cocoanut. If sponge or angel food cake is tough, place in a stone crock or jar, cover carefully, and set in the cellar or cool place for a day or two, at the end of which time the cake will be molat and tender. The ordinary paper cracker boxes, three by 12 inches in size, are nice to bake loaf cakes in, requiring little fire, and the paraffin paper with which they are lined prevents the cake from sticking.

Dainty Morsels Which Are Served at Debutante Lunchcona and Teas. The latest wrinkle of the dainty housekeeper is to serve "flower sand- wiches" to her guests at an afternoon tea. Of course, these deliapacles are exclu- sively feminine, and no woman is so foolish as to try to satisfy the mascu- line appetite with such morsels. If milady's tea or luncheon table happens to be decorated with chrysanthem sandwiches, or if sweet peas, violets, roses, carnations, prevail in the deco- rations, she will have her sandwiches to match. The fragrance is extracted from the flowers and imparted to the sandwiches by cutting the butter to be used in thin blocks, wrapping it in cheese cloth, smothering it with flowers and letting it stand for several hours in a tightly closed jar. The bread is cut in paper like slices, spread with the perfumed butter and sprinkled with petals of flowers. The sandwitches are rolled and tied with ribbon to match the flowers. After they have been put back in the jar with the flowers they are served in a veritable bed of blooms, and if they are not the most substantial things in the food line they are at least novel and dalnty, and at present are quite the thing at debutante lunch-ons and teas. Select a dozep or so of the smoothest and largest splints from the new broom and lay them away to use in testing cake when it is baking. When cutting bread and butter specially thin, occasionally dip the knife in hot water, and never draw the knife over the same place. When frying fish of any sort a little salt should be sprinkled on the base of the pan when it is hot and the fat is boiling. The fish can then be easily turned without being broken. When cooking chops and steaks in a frying-pan or on a gridiron, never thrust a fork into them in order to turn them. If you do the juice will run out and the steak or chop will be hard or dry. The dripping from roast meat, the skimmings from soups, and rendered down fat from meat trimmings, same the same purpose, when clarified thoroughly as lard or butter. Use beef drippings for basting beef and game, keep mutton dripping for frying cutlets, fish, etc. Too rapid bolling makes most vegetables tough. As a rule vegetables should be cooked uncovered. Rice and macaroni require fast boiling. Too much salt in gravy or soup may be counteracted by putting in a pinch of brown sugar. When finely chopped nuts are needed for salads or sandwiches, run the nuts through the meat chopper. BETWEEN G'&H fine stones. Ladies' Diamond Rings, $5.00 to $150.

KEYSTONE D-779 --- Fruit Bread. The night before you wish to bake, set a cake of yeast with a cupful of potato water. Mix with a little flour like a thin batter, let it stand all night in a warm place; in the morning sift your flour in your pan, then put a quart of warm milk in your flour, then add your yeast and two cups of sugar, one teaspoon salt, one cup of butter, one pound of currants, one pound seedless raisins, one pound of walnuts, one spoon of lemon or vanilla extract, three eggs. Mix it and work in just like you do bread. Then set it in a warm place to rise; when light; shape in small flat loaves, put in pans to rise again, when nice and light butter the top and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, or leave plain; then bake until a light brown in a not too hot oven. This you can keep for a whole week and it won't dry out. Pumpkin Pie. Three pounds of pumpkin, six ounces of butter, six eggs, three tablespoonfuls of wine, two of brandy, the rind and juice of one lemon, as much cinnamon as can be put on a dime. Cut the pumpkin in slices, pare it, take out the seeds and soft parts, cut it into small pieces and stew in a small quantity of water until tender. Then press in a colander until dry. Turn it out in a pan, put in the butter and salt and mash fine. When cool whisk the eggs until light and stir in, add sugar to taste, also the brandy, wine and cinnamon. This is sufficient for three or four pies. Line the plates with paste and bake in a quick oven. Candied Oranges. Candied orange is a great delicacy and the housewife will find these are nice to serve with the last course of dinner. Peel and quarter the oranges, make a sipup in the proportion of one pound of sugar to one pint of water. Let it boil until it will harden in water; then take it from the fire and dip the quarters of oranges into the sipup; let them drain on a fine sieve placed over a platter, so that the sipup will not be wasted. Let them drain until cool, when the sugar will crystallize. Spanish Salad. Four large cucumbers. One bunch celery. Three large onions. Four large tomatoes. Two heads lettuce. Two green peppers. Chop each separately until flas, then mix together and season with one tablespoonful of vinegar, juice of one lemon, salt and pepper. Boll a cupful of rice, line a buttered pan with the rice while hot. When sold all center with chopped cooked meat of any kind, season wall, add gravy. Set in pan of water and hake one-half or three-quarters of an hour. Turn out on a dish and serve with tomato sauce.

What has Emancipation done for the young Negro? Does he increase in crime? To, these three questions The Bee will address itself. Crime is on the increase among the young Negroes, and to remedy the evil, what must be done? The law must be forcibly enforced and the punishment must be of the character that will be effective. Within the last few days there have been a number of offenses committed which have been shocking to the community. These offenses are the best argument for additional officers asked for by the Chief of Police. Emancipation of certain Negroes has been a cuse to the race. These offenses are attributable to the young Negro who has no regard for books or good morals. The schoolhouse seems to be an impediment to his progress. Drastic measures should be taken to compel all idlers to work, no matter who they may be. The vragrant laws should be more strictly enforced, and all loafers around and in bar rooms should be arrested immediately, convisted, and sent to the Workhouse. All idle and disorderly persons should not be allowed under any circumstances to be upon the public streets. The intelligent and best behaved colored citizens must be held responsible for crimes committed by the inferior classes. It seems to The Bee that crime is on the increase among the younger element in the Negro race. Something must be done, or else the race will be damned and held responsible for these young Negro criminals. The Bee does not mean to be understood that the young Negro is responsible for every crime committed in this city. He commits some of the most brutal at times that shock society. Here is where the hypocritical Negro pulpit now should do its duty. Instead of its making itself a "jim crow" annex to these so-called white temperance organizations it should condemn these atrocious crimes among its people. Instead of appealing every Sunday to the people for money to send the Negro minister abroad to frolic he should be reforming bad neighborhoods. There is too much sham among these so-called temperance advocates. The whiskey drinkers are as often found in the pulpit as they are found in any other place. Sham reformers are found in the pulpit and there is where you will find crime also. DOES THIS MEAN REBELLION? "The South has not changed." asserted Representative Heifn in an address, and amid a storm of applause, at the celebration in the honor of the one hundred and first birthday anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee, given by Camp 171, United Confederate Veterans, at Mount eVron Pace Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The South may believe in the doctrine of State rights, it may believe that the faithful colored Americans who have served the Confederacy should be destroyed also. But is this fair? The great question that seems to worry the Southern white man is the social question. If he would divorce this question from his mind The Bee is of the opinion that the poor white man in the South would rest at ease. It is the poor white man who seems to be worried. The South is paralyzed by a prejudice that has found root in the ignorant classes of whites. Representative J. T. Heflin of Alabama is mistaken in his premises and conclusions. The Bee does not believe that ex-Auditor Petty entertains the same ideas that Mr. Heflin does. The Bee doesn't believe that Mr. Petty has any race prejudice, because he has on more than one occasion spoken in the highest terms of the colored Americans. He has commended the colored clerks in his office, namely Mr. Warner and the son of the late John M. Langston. His name may be mentioned among those who were responsible for the invitation sent to Mr. Heflin, but because she was one of the committee to invite him The Bee will not presume that he subscribes to his doctrine. The South cannot blindly follow the teachings of this Alabama Representative. If we believe what Mr. Heflin has stated we must believe that the South believes in slavery. But listen: "There is no newSouth, it is the same old South." This is what Mr. Heflin said, and this is what he means. If it is the same old South, then he believes in rebellion. If it is not a new South, he believes in slavery and rebellion. Certainly, Mr. Petty doesn't believe in what Mr. Heflin has asserted. No man who occupies a position under our Government will say that he believes in the oldSouth which means rebellion and secession. The South must surrender and return to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. WHERE ARE THEY? Some few months ago the Northern colored man stood upon the housetops shouting for Senator J. B. Foraker. The fight that he was making for human liberty was then being applauded and those who stood for the policies of the President were damned. Today those who were shouting have silently closed their months and the Senator from Ohio seems to be standing alone battling for the independence of the colored Americans. Will the colored Americans permit their best friend in the Senate to retire in darkness and remain a reculse? If there ever was any gratitude in the colored Americans they should show it now! This is the lime and the hour. Where does the colored American stand? The colored South seems to stand where it always stood. There are a few in the North who don't believe in the policies of the President, but, like many others, it is hard to ascertain where they stand. Many are holding out their hands in the hope of having placed there a bait that will tend to change their already fixed opinion. The question now is, What position will colored Americans take in the coming contest? Will they alhere to their first opinion at the time the President disbanded the colored companies, or have they changed by virtue of the blandishments of official power? Colored Americans should not put themselves in a position that will forever cause the white man to desert them. The question is, Where are they? THE DOLIVER BILL. The action of the sub committee of the Senate on last Tuesday to recommend the passage of the Doliver bill without giving a hearing to the people, and the attack of Admiral Baird, formerly a president of the Board of Education, should be immediately considered by the colored citizens of Washington. The Bee warns the Republican Senate that the colored people in this city will resent any and all discrimination against them in sections Our schools were properly conducted and managed prior to the appointment of those who were recently removed from the control of our schools. The colored citizens should act at once. If there is to be a Commissioner of Education the colored citizens demand that an assistant be recommended also for the colored schools. The time is no more that the colored Americans shall continue under a white master. So far as the Board of Education is concerned it has done its duty with but one exception, and that is it failed to remove Roscoe Bruce after he had been found guilty. Mr. Stuart should remove him. The Doliver bill is objectionable to the entire school population. Placing the schools in the hands of one man is as bad as if hotworse than imperialism. Why not permit the District Commissioners to appoint our school officers? They would appoint men acceptable to the people and for the best interest of the schools. Down with the Doliver bill! It is a dangerous weapon, more dangerous than are other impediments that have been in the schools. The Civic Club which has been sleeping for more than a year has been summoned from its long slumber. Several efforts have been made to get a meeting, but they failed, school question would be the subject for consideration at the meeting held last Friday evening. A dozen or fifteen members mana committee to tell Congress that the present school law needed only slight change, and that the appointment of the Board of Education should be taken from the judges and placed with the Commissioners of the District. Another committee was appointed to investigate and report on the liquor traffic in the District. The Civic Cub made a mess of the school question two years ago, and everyone whom it supported lost out. Prof. John Love, its secretary, and Mrs. Cooper, principal of the M Street High School, were the victims of its support. The lesson of the past seems to be that it is unlucky to have the endorsement of the Civic Club. The president of the club is a candidate for delegate to the Republican National Convention, and if the Civic Club is as big a hoodoo to him as it has been to others, he may see his finish now. URAISE FOR TUSKEGEE — GOV- ERNOR JOINS IN. From the New York Tribune. As assemblage which filled every seat in Carnegie Hall, and overflowed into the standing room area in orchestra circle and gallery alike last night plauged vigorously at every utterance from the speakers on the platform that the black man in this country must have his chance to prove his worth. And every one of the speakers, who came from various parts of the country to help to forward the good work that Booker T. Washington is doing for the members of his race at Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, said it. Foremost among them was Governor Chas T. Hughes, who came down from Alany for the special purpose of saying a good word for the industrial training school at Tuskegee. He got a great ovation from the audience, which rose to its feet as he strode to his place on the platform after the students from the Hampton Institute had sung to an encore one of the characteristic Neggo folksongs. Seth Low, president of the Armstrong Association, the special purpose of which is to assist the work for the Negro at Tuskegee, had to stop in introducing the Governor when he said he was so busy in discharging his official duties that he had no time to devote to his own political present or future. The audience rose again and cheered when the Governor started to speak, and as if set off by an electric spark came the demonstration which "followed the Executive's (declaration (that "there is no such thing as the color line in good work." Governor's Plea for Negro. The audience was on its feet before the Governor himself arose, applauding and cheering for several minutes. When the demonstration was over the Governor said: We are here tonight to emphasize our interest in the work that is being done for the benefit of our fellow citizens of the black race. From a proper point of view it is a work for our own benefit as well. It is essential to the interests of the people as a whole. We can never afford to lose sight of the fundamental objects alike of enlightened self-interest, of philanthropy and of aptriotism. These are, first to give opportunity and stimulus so that each man may make the most of himself, further to stimulate that wholesome interest in the welfare of our fellows which will make usefulness and service the standards of our activities, and without, which talent and trained skill are prostituted to signible and corrupt purposes; and, still further, to see that our laws and our administration of laws shall secure equality of civil rights, shall protect the gains of honest effort, and shall make the field of our labors a fair one, in which talent and industry shall have a chance on their merits, free from all preventable oppression. These aims are not sectional, nor do they concern exclusively any race or any portion of our population. They are the aims of a free people, and they must be constantly emphasized with regard to all, white and black, whatever their occupation or antecedents. He is a bold man who would attempt to forecast the destiny of any people. A few centuries ago the ancestors of most of us were living a savage life in the forests of Northern Europe. We have been fortunate in opportunities for free and independent effort, and have attained a high degree of civilization, which at a time put long remote if we consider the period of recorded human history, would have been beyond the bounds of prophecy. We have reason for pride in what has been accomplished. But we take little account of the past if we do not constantly strive to widen the area of opportunity and to do all in our power to promote the development, raise the standards and to increase the efficiency of those who have been denied our own advantages. No Color Long in Good Work. The black man is entitled to his chance. He is entitled to the advantages of training and education. He is entitled, under the stimulus of free institutions, to an opportunity to prove by his works what is in him to make his contribution, according to his talent and aptitude, to the sum of our productive laborers and of our national life; and he is entitled to the rewards which his character and industry may deserve. There is no color line in good work, whether of hand or brain. Good work, trained skill and sterling integrity are the same, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The effort should be likewise irrespective of race to increase the efficiency, to produce the skill and to develop the character. For this purpose there is guaranteed the equality of civil rights, and nothing should be left undone to make provision for education and for training of mind and character. It has well been said that whatever problem the progress of the Negro may present, it is not comparable with that which will be presented by stagnation or retrogression. In this land the door of opportunity must be wide open to our citizens. We want neither slaves nor serfs, nor any body of citizens premanently below the standards which must be maintained for the preservation of the republic. We cannot maintain our democratic ideals as to one set of our people and ignore them as to others. One of the most characteristic features of recent progress is that preparation for active life becomes more definite and less haphazard. On every hand new opportunities are being provided to fict men for some useful work. These are made necessary by the conditions of modern life and the necessity of special preparation with regard to a constantly increasing number of tasks. The best stimulus to industry is the ability to do something well; and the greatest temptation to shiftlessness is the lack of any apparent opportunity for usefulness. The widening of the sphere of educational work is shown not simply in provision for technical training, but notably in connection with agriculture. There is a widespread demand for elementary and practical instruction in farming and kindred subjects, a demand which is likely in time to affect profoundly our system of public instruction. As a leading educator said to me yesterday: "It is probable that in the future our boys will be prepared not simply for the office, but will be taught how to live in the country." TAFT DELEGATES NEEDED. Secretary's Nomination on the First Ballot Now Not So Certain. From the New York rPess. Having conceded that Hughes is to have New York delegates, and to have them from start to finish, the Taft men today were inclined to admit that President Roosevelt shot beyond the mark two weeks ago when he announced that the War Secretary would be nominated on the first ballot. Mr. Roosevelt may have been in earnest, but if so he was deceived by his friends in many of the Northern States. The claim that two-thirds of the New England delegates will be Taft is no longer made. There is one Congress district in Connecticut that may reasonably be counted for him, and a minority of the Massachusetts delegates. Information that disturbs the White House is that all the delegates at large from Connecticut will be against Taft. News from Maine and New Hampshire is equally depressing. The President now more than ever is turning his attention to the Far Western States, where his policies have been so popular He is convinced that Taft has nothing to hope for in New eJrsey, Pennsylvania or Delaware, and that West Virginia will follow the lead of Senator Elkins, who is a candidate for Vice President. Cannon and a fIRbanks have disposed of Illinois and Indiana, so that Taft cannot hope to be the second choice at any time. The real disturbing factor for the President in the West is Senator La Follette. He has shown unexpected strength in Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa, and threatens to break into Nebraska and aKnasas, despite the manipulations of the Federal officeholders. The unlooked-for split in Missouri and Tennessee and the refusal of Cortelyou to straighten matters in certain Southern States combine to make the President recognize that after all it is to be hard sledding for his candidate. That Taft cannot win on the first ballot is apparently admitted today in the White House, for orders have bone out to select delegates for the Ohio man who will stand like the old guard did for Grant. That means that the Administration forces hope to nominate when the general breakup comes in the convention. There is talk of having at least 150 delegates who will go to Taft as second choice and Secretary Locb, in discussing these, said such delegates would appear in the New York and Wisconsin delegations, as well as in Illinois and Indiana. Neither Fairbanks nor Cannon will indorse this in respect of his State. Both are extremely bitter toward Mr. Roosevelt. They hold that while no open contest is being made against them in their States, Federal agents are at work in attempts to select delegates who will jump to Taft at the first opportunity. Both Cannon and a Fairbanks have nailed this job, and while they have no personal animosity toward Taft they are determined to see that the White House tactics do not succeed. The influence of Speaker Cannon extends beyond his own State, and he will use every ounce of it to prevent the nomination of the War Secretary. As La Follette's admirers in the Northwest have to fight Federal agents for every delegate they get, the men who will vote for him in the convention will not live any love for the Ohio candidate. La Follette has been shabbily treated by the President, and his influence will not be exerted to bring about a triumph for the White House. Politicians here regard all this as promising for Governor Hughes. He appears to them as the oe man who certainly can carry New oYrk, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Republican members of Congress are hearing every case that Bryan is stronger than ever in the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast, and they admit that they must have a man who can insure the vote of the East. Any breaking up, therefore, of the Cannon, Fairbanks, Knox, and La Holleite forces would be largely in favor of Governor Hughes. There is much criticism of the administration in the Pacific States and Taft it is conceded would suffer. From the drift of conversation here it would appear that Hughes is the second choice of many leaders in the strong Republican States, a fact recognized by the President in the efforts recently begun to get second-choice men for his Ohio candidate. ALL EMOTIONS ARE DISEASES. New York Society Women Deeply Impressed by Psychopathic Talk. Anger was dissected and pronounced a disease recently by Mrs. Vaner Cheney, who says psychology can cure that emotion resultant of hot temper just as well as colds and grip and other diseases that have been wont to lay their victims low. Indeed, in her falk, which was given at an 'at home' of Mrs. Roswell D. Hitchcock, of 44 West Forty-fifth street, most of her hearers could but feel that all evil emotions will soon cease to be exciting themes for novelists and playwrights to enlarge, upon in their plots, and the household will be more of a dove cote. "It is such a blow to romance to feel that anger, hate jealousy, and, of course their opposites, love, friendship, and so on, are nothing less than maladies of the nervous centers of the brain," said one woman who listened to the little lecture. Mrs. Cheney was introduced by Mrs. Hitchcock. She was dressed in a black velvet gown and wore a light-blue beplumed hat. Her audience fixed eyes on that hat, and, doubtless, gave a thought to the distracting subject of spring clothes before Mrs. Cheney began; to speak. "This is the century, the year, the day, and the hour of psychology," said the speaker, and, after a word or two about the wave of introspection which is sweeping over us and which we find in the drama and text-books, and goodness knows where, she went on to say that by concentration one can send the mind spinning through space to any distance, for the mind annihilates space and finds itself as easily in China as in the next room. "The trained mind finds at any distance what it seeks," she added impressively. "Health is a matter of thinking; a matter of brain cells. I don't mean if you think a headache you have a headache, or you can make one go away by thinking that you haven't," she explained, as she hoticed a few uplifted eyebrows and exchange of smiles. "I mean that by a careful choosing of our thoughts we find them established as character, as disposition, and physical health. We will be able to compound disposition and character, as we make a chemical compound." Mrs. Cheney then enlived her discourse by a personal experience. She told of a woman, known well for her ungracious disposition, who suffered extremely from rheumatism, which story was sufficiently encouraging to make any victims of this affliction dance a jig for joy. The woman in question was lobbling about when Mrs. Cheney met her and asked a favor, at which the sparks flew. This interested Mrs. Cheney, who asked if she might not drop in again to see her friend and have a little chat. The woman assented, and dropped off into a nap. Mrs. Cheney said that she worked at her subconscious mind and suggested it the patient's mind that sweetness was a most desirable quality, and also the advantage of cultivating a serene state of mind. After that the woman with the rheumatism and ill temper proved an angel. And, furthermore she never had a touch of the ailment again "How did you get at her subconscious mind without hypnotism?" asked a physician in the audience. Mrs Cheney said she would explain that but didn't. She then told them of curing a man of alcoholism, and mentioned that several of the diseases which have yielded to correction by this system are insomnia, mental depression, hysteria, neurasthenia, drug habit, self-consciousness, want of self-confidence. irritability, worry, anger, fear nervous dyspepsia, hypochondria, melancholia, and the general functional diseases. WRATH. Judge Norwood warms up in his wrath and seems to charge the white people with the sin of having so cultured and educated a Negro that he had become his equal intellectually. He sent The Bee's reply to his savage attack and defaming utterances against colored Americans to the Savannah (Ga.) News for publication Judge Norwood attacked the colored race with all the eloquence and venom he possessed, and because Editor Chase, of The Bee, chided him with an eloquence equal or superior at his, he becomes furious, claims that God had set a limit on the Negro's intellect, and he cndmns and damms the efforts of his own race to educate the Negro beyond what he calls the limit. No better evidence than this is needed to show that the objection to higher education for the Negro which comes from that racehating and immurciful class of white men, is on account of their fear that it will make the Negroes their equal intellectually. Nothing is plainer than the fact shown that it is not because they believe the Negro is incapable of higher education. Judge Norwood shows that he is sore all over, and solely because of Editor Chase's ability to answer him. He boasts of having tried and convicted 12,000 Negroes during his term of office, forgetting that he himself will have to appear before the Great Judge and answer for his partiality and prejudice against the Negro, which disqualified him to sit as a judge over these alleged criminals. The above is more apparent when we apply the unperishable truths uttered by the eminent divine, Dr Martin D Hardin, of Charlotte, N C, who said: "Who does not know that in multitudes of cases in our courts the Negro against a white man stands just one chance in ten to get just." From the Cumberland Alleganianap Governor Warfield is acting rashly Forgetful of the expressed wish of Job concerning his enemy, he is about to write a book. It is painful to find a gentleman so bland and suave as the ex-Governor falling into such reckless ways.

Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy was the principal orator of the Race Conference held recently at Columbia, S. C., under the direction of Rev. Richard Carroll. About fifteen hundred farmers, ministers, teachers, industrial workers and business men from all parts of the State were in attendance, and resolutions were adopted suggesting means by which the agricultural production might be enlarged, longer terms for schools be procured, better wages granted to skilled mechanics, as well as how there may be propagated a higher social and religious life in the rural districts of South Carolina and the South in general. At the request of the body, Mr. Dancy presided; and the appreciative delegates were not slow to give evidence of their pride in having so distinguished a member of their race to supervise their deliberations. Several attempts were made to inject politics into the proceedings, but Chairman Dancy held the convention rigidly to the printed program and peremptorily ruled out everything of a political nature. The Columbia Daily News printed a full report of the series of meetings, and says the people of the town, white and colored, were "carried away" with the sanity and solid substance contained in Mr. Dancy's felicitous address. At the last conference Dr. Booker T. Washington was the speaker. The next conference will be held in November in connection with the first annual Afro-American State Fair of South Carolina.

Frisby; singing by the Junior Choir of St. Luke's Sunday School, followed by an address of welcome by the superintendent, Mr. W. P. Sidney. The response on behalf of the Union was made by Rev. C. N. Pryr, after which Prof. A. A. Lott delivered an instructive address on "Denominational Unity," and Sunday School work in general. Dr. Edgar R. Beckley, M.D., had charge of the musical program, which was excellent. Ex-Justice E. M. Hewlett delivered a timely and fitting address on "Temperance." Professor Davis with his choir and delegates from the N. E. Baptist Church, rendered additional musical solos. Letters of endorsement and commendation were received from many prominent Sunday School workers. The meeting then adjourned to meet in February, at which time all the superintendents and delegates from the several' States will either be present, or their papers will be read. The Sunday School department will soon be established, and steps will be taken to lease or buy a suitable building in whie ht establish the work. Sister A. V.

It is said that if a little borax is put in the water it will remove fruit stains from the hands. The rollers of a clothes wringer may be easily and effectively cleaned by rubbing them with a cloth which has been dipped in coal oil. In order to be sure that the cocoanut for pies and candy is perfectly fresh it is well to buy the whole fruit and shred it in the meat chopper. It is said that if an onion is cut into small pieces and placed about a room it will absorb many disagreeable odors, including fresh paint and turpentine. A few economical housewives have tried grinding their tea leaves like coffee, and they declare that the result is excellent, only about half the usual quantity being used. Of course, the tea strainer must be as fine as can be bought. Dainty Dresser Scarf. When handkerchiefs are cheap buy four embroidered ones with the plain hemsitched edge and sew them all neatly together with a strip of torchon lace insertion about an inch and a half or two inches in width between each handkerchief and on the edge of the one at each end. When this has been neatly done sew lace, which should match the insertion used, on both sides and ends a little full. Now make a plain cover to go under this of some delicate color, a pale yellow or plink being especially pretty, and you will have a dresser cover of which you may justly be proud. If a commode cover be desired to match this, use three handkerchiefs. Instead of four to make it shorter and proceed the same as before. Pineapple Honey Is Delicious. Pineapple Honey Is Delicious. If you have been accustomed to throwing away the core and parings from your pineapples, says the Delineator, stop doing this and make the following excellent substitute for honey: Take the cores and parings from the fruit; cover with cold water, and let them stand over night. In the morning bring the mixture to a boll, and cook for several minutes; then strain through a cheesecloth, return to the fire and boll about ten minutes longer. Add an equal quantity of sugar, and boll about three minutes. The result should be a clear, amber-colored slurp. It will prove delicious when served with hot cakes. Cabbage Dumplings. Parboil the leaves of a head of cabbage. Beat or stir two pounds of ground meat, rolled toast or crackers, one raw egg, half a cup of milk and butter the size of a walnut, seasoning with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoonful of the mixture in each cabbage leaf, roll up tightly, tie with a string and brown nicely in a buttered pan. Place in a kettle and let simmer slowly one and one-half hours, and when done place dumplings on a platter, removing the strings. Add a little flour to remaining liquid and serve as gravy. Coffee Creams. Heat one pint of milk. Beat up the yolks of three eggs and one white, and add to the hot, not boiling, milk. When it has cooled add two ounces' of granulated sugar and enough coffee essence to color and flavor it. Put into a bowl one-half gill of boiling water, three quarters ounce of gelatine. Stir it over the fire until dissolved, then strain it into the custard, which should be warm. The finger marks so frequently left on painted doors by children or careless malds may be removed by rubbing with a perfectly clean cloth dipped in a little paraffine. The place should be afterward carefully rinsed in cold water and given a final polish with a clean, soft cloth. There is no real remedy for finger marks on light wall paper, but sometimes simply rubbing with a clean cloth will heil. Shaw's Regiment, U. V.

Nature makes an effort to preserve the hair, but by not giving the hair and scalp the proper attention man works against the effort of Nature by his carelessness and negligence. You should help Nature in the direction in which she makes an effort to work, and the greatest help possible is by using "Her-Tru-Line." The beauty of a fine suit of hair is very valuable to both man and woman. "Her-Tru-Line" is the result of years of intelligent study and experiment and is a scientific preparation. The attractiveness of a luxurious growth of beautiful hair is invaluable to man and woman alike. "Her-Tru-Line" stimulates the growth of the hair, it takes out the curl and leaves the scalp in a clean and healthy condition. "Her-Tru-Line" leaves the hair soft and glossy and easily dressed. "Her-Tru-Line" curts dandruff, ringworm and scalp tetter. "Her-Tru-Line" is delightful as a dressing for the hair, being perfectly harmless. Only the purest materials are used in its manufacture. "Her-Tru-Line" leaves a nice, comfortable feeling in the scalp. It is a true luxury and a valuable addition to toilet accessories. One jar of "Her-Tru-Line" will convince anyone that it will do all we claim for it. "Her-Tru-Line" is Manufactured Only by the SOUTHERN MEDICINE COMPANY. Frank F.

E. ministers and laymen make their way through Washington much favorable sentiment is manifested looking to the election of Dr. A. L. Gaines, of Bethel Church, Baltimore, as editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the A. M. E. Church. Dr. Gaines has held some of the most prominent charges in Georgia, Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., has been a presiding elder and is now finishing a five year term of monumental achievement as pastor of Bethel Church at Baltimore. In every capacity where brains and business acumen were required, Dr. Gaines' painstaking efforts have been crowned with success, and his promotion in-May at Norfolk is in keeping with then atural order of things—the reward for service well performed and an opportunity to use him in a sull larger way for the benefit of the Church. He is experienced in editorial work and has a thorough knowledge of the printing trade, two qualifications that every man should have who aspires to this responsible office. If the General Conference elects Dr. Gaines there is no doubt that he will prove a worthy successor to such geniuses as Editors B. T. Tanner and B. L. Lee (now bishops) and Dr. Johnson. The local statesmen have been wondering how the candidates for delegates stand on presidential candidate. Attorney Horner non-committal. He would rather make deals. Others will make their appearance later on. ECONOMIC CONDITION OF THE JEWS IN RUSSIA. A recent bulletin of the Bureau of Labor (No. 72) presents an interesting contribution to the study of immigration and its relation to social and industrial questions in an article on the "Economic condition of the Jews in Russia," by I. M. Rubinow. The article is based on investigations of the Jewish Coloniazation Society and Russian official statistics. The subject derives its importance in this country chiefly from the fact that the Russian Jews constitute approximately one-tenth of the total number of immigrants now coming into the United Soutiern Medicine Co. Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: I wish to say that my hair was only about three inches long and so kinky, stiff and harsh I could not manage it at all. But since I took two jars of your HER-TRU-LINE I have as pretty suit of hair as any lady in Atlanta. I wish everyone with curly or kinky hair knew of this wonderful HER-TRU-LINE. Yours respectfully Miss Lovie Mayes, Marietta Street, Atlanta, Ga States and because they contibute so largely, bu the conditions under which they so often live and work, to the problems which are involved in the greatly congested conditions in some of our large cities. According to the latest Russian official statistics (those of 1897) the five and a half million Jews in Russia constituted about four percent of the total population. Largely because of the legal restrictions upon the right of domicile, ninety-four percent of them live with the so-called Pale (a territory representing less than twenty percent of the area of European Russia) where they constitute 11.6 percent of the total population. Even within the limited area of the Pale the Jews are largely concentrated in urban communities (also because of legal restrictions), nearly 80 percent of the entire Jewish population of the Pale living in cities and towns, where they constitute 37.7 percent of the population. In the most congested provinces of the Pale,from which the Jewish immigrants to the United States largely come, the proportion of Jews is much greater, constituting 57.9 percent of the population in the cities of Northwestern Russia. The occupation of the Jew in Russia is much more largely manufacturing and less largely commercial than is commonly supposed. According to Russian official statistics 37.9 percent of all the Jews gainfully employed were engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits as against commerce, 63.3 percent of them being employed in the former, against a combined 27 percent in commerce and transportation, while the percentages for the entire population of New York city were 37.6 in manufacturing and 32 in commerce. In view of the widespread impression that the Jew is unfit for agricultural life it is interesting to note that the Russian official report, show 40,000 employed in agricultural pursuits, or 150,000 all told when their dependents are included. The fact that the numbers are no larger is due to the restrictions against the Jew entering into agriculture which have been in force for very many years. While in Russia as in this country, industrial pursuits calim the greatest number of adult Jews, yet there exists this important difference: that in Russia the independent artisans and their journeymen and apprentices are much more numerous than factory employees, even though the tendency in Russia, as everywhere, is away from the small artisan's shop to the factory. An enumeration of these artisans by a private organization, and therefore obviously incomplete, showed their number as more than half a million, of whom women and children numbered more than 155,000, or 31 percent. Of the total number of artisans a little more than one-half were master workmen, about 30 percent journeymen, and 20 percent apprentices. Tr eo . 7 5 _ , . 4 x j * wo 2 UO PRESIDENTS WIDOW MRE. JONES WAS “FIRST LADY” "OF TEXAS REPUBLIC, dudge Who Performed Marriage Cere- mony in 1840 Killed by Indians Shortly After Near Austin— S Her Adventurous Life. Austin, Tex.—Mrs. Anson Jones, who died the other day, was one of the most historic women of “Texas. She was the widow of Dr. Asson Jones, who was president of the Republic -of Texas during the period just previ- ‘ous to the annexation of the common. wealth to the United Statés. Mrs. Jones, as “frat lady of the land,” pre- sided at many social functions’ which were giyen at the capital ofthe ‘young republic. In those early days forelxn ambassadors were Jocated In Austin, and, despite the activity of the Jn- dians, who'kept them in constant dread of being: kifled, these representatives of foreign governments managed to have a very pleasant time. The marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Jones took place fa‘Austin in May, 1640. The wedding trousseau was brought all the way from Houston to Austin, a dis- tance of 186 miles, by oxcert. Judge James ‘Smith, who married Dr. and Mrs. Jones, was killed by In- dians while out riding near Austin short time after he had performed the ‘ceremony, Mrs, Jones related many Interesting incidents that occurred tn the Texas eapital during the time that her hus band was president of the republic She sald that the foreign ambassadors seldom traveled even a short distance Jato the country out of Austin without being provided si & guard to pre vent attack by Indians.

The guard was not avall able just at the time, and President Jones {nfermed the ambassador that he was unable to comply with bis re- quest. The Frenchman became mad- ened and excited when his request met with refusal, Mra. Jones said. He exclaimed as he left the president's presence in a buff: “I hope a dx Indian will kill me, Then see what France will do.” The ambassador went on his ride alone and returned safely. Dr. Jones, the last president of the Texas republic, was a native of Massa- chusetts. He came to Texas in 1833, before the new republic was born, and located at Brazoria, He soon became prominent in the political affairs of the country alter independence from Mexico was gained. He was a member of the Texas cengress in 1838, and that same year he was appointed min- lster to the United States from Texas. He represented this republic at Wasb- .ington for two years and returned to his home to fill the office of senator, to which he had heen elected. : The seat of government was moved from Austin to Washington, Tex. tn 1842, while Dr. Jones was president. He named the executive manstou ‘at Washington Barrington, in honor of Great Barrington, Mass, the place of his nativity. . Dr. Jones died tn 1858.

Horses succeeded oxen for the rew [son that they make quicker time in hauling over long roads, and for the reason that feed became more plentt- ‘ul az the country became settled by homesteaders.

An attractive dining room recently een in an apartment bad the wall panels covered with paper, the deslen of which was beautiful bunches of rapes, says the New York Evening Post. The celling was of a cream tint, and the woodwork white. The floor was, of course, hard wood, with a rug 4a two tones of brown, “At the win- dows Bung simple yellow sllk curtafns, coming just to the sill. Brown wall paper {s also much used for dining rooms. It can be had In YaHlous shades from the lightest to the darkest. This paper Is particularly ‘004 for rooms having a southern of. eastern exposure. If ‘this color Is de- elded upon, a Mght shade should be used for the space above the chair tall, ,whlle that below should be a darker brown. The woodwork should, of course, harmdnize. A brown back- ground will display pictures and most furniture to advantage, especially weathered or Flemish oak. If ma- hogany {s the wood, a buff wall paper makes a better contrast. When choosing new furniture for the dining room be careful to select chairs with not too curved legs. They may be very handsome, but If your room 13 small you will find it dificult to seat your guests close togethe: at a dinner or luncheon, as fs sometimes necessary. The bow In the legs of the chair takes up a too generous amount of room. High-backed ones @re unnecessary and inconvenient when It comes to serving, and are also cumbersome. -One Is not ex- pected to lean back when at the table, 80 that for all practical purposes the low-backed chair fs best for the dining room. It has been found that bead fringe on a droplight is not as good as silk, as the former streaks the faces of the * guests sitting around the dining table. Another artistic dining room in a country house was finished with a chair rail and plate shelf, the walls being papered in shades of old blue, the deeper tone being used below the ehair rail, while the lighter shade was above. The woodwork was a dull oak, with a heavily beamed celling. A handsome mantel was bullt of stone, the fireplace belng large enough to urn huge logs. Andirons and other fixtures were of wrought fron. The furniture was of dull oak to match the woodwork, and at the left of the side- board was built In a useful and at tractive china closet with a chest of drawers below. The cupboard aboye had leaded glass doors in colonial de- algn. The walls were devold of atl or. namentation, save for the plate shelf, which held a quaint collection of brass and old chiha. Simple window curtains were of yellow silk, coming Just to the sill A yellow and blue English rug on the floor completed the furnishings. A violet luncheon - was recently given by a bride to her six. ‘brides. talds. The table, lald for seven, was unusually attractive and beautiful. A Jarge cutlass bowl, filled with violets, served for a centerpiece. Violets tied with bows of ribbon of a lighter shade, formed Into a chain by connecting the ends of the ribbon together, made a border just Inside the covers on the table. When the chain was discon nected the bunches were given as favors, ‘The table was lighted with candles having violet shades. The Ice cream was served in heart-shaped violet colored boxes, and place cards were decorated with the same flower. Frult Rolls. ° ‘Two cups of entire wheat. flour, four level teaspoons baking powder, one- haif level teaspoon salt, two level tablespoons shortening, three-fourths cup milk and water mixed, melted but. ter, two level teaspoons sugar, one fourth level teaspoon cinnamon, three- fourths cup raisins (seeded and cut 4uto small pleces).

Ff AAON? ~A BERLIN WOOL WORK AGAIN. Fashion's Wheel Has Brought ‘Old. ‘Timer Inte Favor. So many of our “new things” turn out to be old things slightly disguised and brought {nto fashion by a tura of the wheel. Here's “Berlin work” as the Iatest arrival. ‘This is work fp wools on canvas in elther “cross” or “tent” stitch, The crossstitch {s the easier and, on the whole, the better Adapted to elaborate patterns. It was {n crossstitch that the dames of olden days embroidered the elaborate tapes. tries that adorned the walls of hall and castle, some of which are highly esteemed as art treasures. If a girl is very enterprising and wishes to give a very handsome pres ent to some friend, she could not dc better than work a chairback and sea! cover. The back of the chair might be worked in the coat of arms of the ‘reciplent. Crogstitch lends - itsel particularly well to such conventional designs. The seat of the chair might be thecrest only. Care must be taker to do the wofk in the very best grade of wools, as the others are liable tc fade. Sofa pillows worked !n cross stitch are always acceptable, and many charming patterns (most o! them old ones revived) are shown thi: neason. Hand fire screens are ver) pretty, but they should bé worked fr silk on very fine canvas. A very little practice will enable any girl to pick out even the most complicated putters with ease, but for the lazy, pattern are bought already stamped on the gmaterial.—Detrolt Free Press. PRETTY AND CHEAP SCREEN. Beautiful Ornament for Any Room In the House. Something beautiful In a window screen will cost you only the price of some very thin blue lawn, providing yon already have a frame, and many homes have screen frames which have 6nce done duty and only awalt some- thing new tn a covering, It takes a double thickness of lawn for the screen, because the designs are pasted lightly between the covers and when the light shines through the screen there fs a beautitul shadow effect. One neat design {s a stork standing amid cattails and pond lilies, another Is Dunches of grapes and leaves, and the odd little figures of dancing Dutch children or pretty geisha girls make good shadowgraphs. A handsome covering can be made with white lawn, the pictures belng in colors which ‘reflect through the material. It is best to- cut the patterns from Paper and paste very lightly to one plece of the material after it has been tacked In place. Always fron the pleces to the materlal to prevent wrinkles, Or the patterns can be cut from dress goods and attached {0 the same manner. A large screen will be attractive if covered with cheap unbleached muslin and the figures cut from heavy paper, which show In bold relief on the*'white background. Shades for lamps can be made in the same manner, elther with floral effect .or any of the conventional patterns commonly used. Spice Fingers.

Recipes for Making T! ‘The effect of spots and stains on the clothing ts to give a general afr Of untidiness to the appearance. It fe expensive to seid the garment to the cleaners for every spot, und home applications are often ineffec- tive, partly because the right agent has not been employed and partly because the work Is not rightly done. One of the most important things fn removing stains and spots {s to remember that there must be a fresh Plece of cloth underneath to absorb ‘the solled cleansing fluid as It soaks through. Cheesecloth Is excellent for this purpose; fold several thick nesses and place beneath the stain. Blotting paper also is good. The spot should be spread out on a flat surface, and the absorbent material should he large- enough s0 ft can be moved several times. Old white flannel {s useful in making the application, using It in wetting and rubbing, and tak’ug a dry plece tc soak up the tiuld when the spot Is out. One often hay jet passementerte that has grown ce} and dubty. Clean with alcohol slightly diluted with wa ter and pat It dry with a cfean cloth.

In using turpentine to remove paint surround the spot with cornstarch tc prevent a “ring.” m CLEAN FEATHERS IN BAG. Description of One of the Best Meth- ods to Employ. It fs sald one of the best methods Yor cleaning feathers In a bed Is to make a large cheesecloth bag and into it put all of the feathers, ‘The cheese. cloth bag and tick’ should be sewed together at one corner, so that the feathers can be worked from the tick to the bag. When the bag {s full, sew up the opening and place the bag over the clothes line and beat gently with a rattan carpet beater. This frees the feathers from all dust. It fs poselble for the sun to reach the feathers, and they will get very light and fluffy, increasing wonderfully tn bulk, When the tick fs washed, the feathers are returned in the same man: ner, the tick closed, then the cheese. cloth covering Is washed and slipped over the tick to protect it. Pillows may be cleaned In the same manner, Of course this 1s not a g00q season for cleaning feather beds, yet fresh alr will do as much as the sun to reno vate the feathers. : HOUSEHOLD. HINTS. A box of lime placed in a damp cup- board will dry it out and act as a dis Infectant. Mix starch with soapy water, for It will give the linen a beautiful gloss. This plan also prevents the fron from sticking. Black jead will give a brilliant pol. ish with but little trouble If a pinch of soda and a little suxar be added to it before moistening it with cold tea, An enameled kettle which has been allowed to boil dry should be filled im mediately with boiling water. Colé water poured in in such a case would cause the enamel to chip. Stove blacking, moistened with ben zine, will give a fine, lasting polish. Be very sure that there is no fire fn the stove or light In the room while the polish Is being applled. | Shelves for very precious china may have pads of felt to prevent chipping ‘the dishes, When fragile plates must be plled one on another a small plain dolly placed between them wil save breaking. Pias in a Blanket. Have you ever tried pigs in as vianket fora cold night and with thin sandwiches made of brown or graham bread and butter? Allow five or six oysters for eacN person. Roll each oyster in a tiny blanket of bacon, cut thin as a wafer, and fasten this on with a toothpick’ run straight through. Now lay your “pigs” in the plazer of your chafing dish and turh them over and over until the bacon {s crisp. Serve on hot plates and watch them melt among “oh’s” and “ah's” of sat tsfaction. Cold slaw or green toma- to pickle or plecalilli should be served with these, | A Washable Knot, When making knots on materials that must be laundered it fs well to use the washable knot. This does not pull like the French one that Is the only one known to most embroidgzers. Stick the needle up through the ma terial, wind the thread around It three oF four times, hold it very taut and put the needle down again as in the French knot. Then take another stitch in exactly the same place and over the loops. ‘This holds the knot very firm and prevents twisting when Washed, Mace Seca Hee, To: keep hardwood floors in perfect order, make canton flannel bags for ‘the broom, then put a little bit of any good furniture pol'sh on the duster and rub it over the canton flannel bag, and then wipe up the floors, The ob- Ject of putting the furniture polish on the duster first fs to have a suspicion of it only on the bag. To Restore Colors. When the color is taken from dresses by lemon, pleplant or tomato lulce sponge the spot with aqua am- monta, then wash {n warm soapsuds. The color wi'l be restored entirely. " GLACED FRUIT AND NUTS,” Recipes for Making These Delicious Confections at Home. * These are very nice when made at bome. Select a bright. clear day for the work and do it In a room where there fs no mofsture. Prepare oranges for the glace some little time before- hand so that the pected quarters or eighths may become quite dry. Tan- sorines are excellent for this purpose, being naturally dry: Cut Malaga or Tokay grapes from the bunches, leay- ing the stems as long as possible. Cut citron fn pretty forms, and if you use brandled cherries, dry them. Pre served watermelon rind dried out in the oven Is also nice. Shell as many peanuts, Brazil nuts, barelnuta and walnuts 4s needed. Almonds and chestnuts must be blanched as well as shelled, then thoronghly dried. The large French or Spanish chestouts should be shelled, thrown’ in bolling water a fex moments, then skinned, and after that be simmered a little in bolling water until tender, but not too soft. ‘Drain and dry, When cool fa- Sert @ small wooden toothpick in eich nut, * ‘ To make the glace, put a pound of granulated sugar and a scant cup of cold water in a saucepan and let it stand half an hour until the sugar {s dissolved. Then set over the fire where it can be trusted to boll with- out stirring or jarring the kettle. To Insure safety it 1s well to place an as- bestos mat under the pan, When the bubbles on the surface of the sirup begin to look tough, test by dropping & teaspoonful In a cup of cold water. It ft falls to the bottom with a brittle, clicking sound, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and lift at once from the fire. Sot the pan in a large basin of hot water and dip orange carpels held by the tips, cherries, grapes and other fruits in one by one, then place on ofled paper to harden. Do not Use much motion In dipping the frult lest the sirup granulate, A candy dipper that may be pur- chased at any department or candy store facllitates the dipping. Cherries snd grapes or any frult with stems are easy to dip, but the nuts are hard- er. If the slrup becomes too cold be- fore all the frult haa been dipped, i can be reheated. As fast as each pan 1s filled with the glaced fruit set In an open window or other cold place to harden. If the glace 1s not complete with the'first dipping, repeat the op- eration again, adding a, little more water to the sirup and reheating until ft stands the test.

Kingsley, who lives phere, has fust erected a monumenton the site of old Fort Bull, It consists ot a fireton bowlder sét upon two largo ‘granite slabs and a concrete foundation four feet deep, The out- Unes of this fort of the French and Indian war are still plainly visible, and the monument stands in the cen- ter of the site. The site is on the 1,000-acré farm owned by George Dun- bam.

It stood on Wood creek about two miles north- west of Fort Stanwix, had a garrison of 60 men and was equipped with » considerable quantity of mynitions of ar ard profistons. | The fort some- what resembled s star {0 shape and as constructed of heavy pickets 15 to 18 feet above the ground, with a ‘second row inside the helght of a ‘man. It contained no cannon, but ‘there were a number of’ grenades te Col. Johnson had sent when he heard of the intended approach of the hostile forces. It was the fotention of the French to selze the xuards of the fort and enter withoix firing a shot, but the ap- proach of the enemy was observed by the English, and the guards rushed Into the fort and closed the gates. The English commander was summoned to surrender with the promise of quar- ter. He replied with a round of mus- ketry and a shower of grenades. The French obtained possession of the portholes and fired throdgh them at such of the English gs they could see.

THE OLD-SCHOOL POLITICIAN. Below is an exact likeness of Mr. Randall Bowie, one of the old-school politicians, but who is today just as active and farseeing, as the most astute politician of today. Mr. Bowie is known by every man of prominence in this city. He is one among the few colored Republicans who made it possible for colored men and women to walk the public streets soon after the war when the Highlanders were camped upon Vermont Hill, today known as Fourteenth and K streets. In those days respectable young colored ladies could not walk the streets for fear M. H. of being insulted by these white soldiers. Colored boys as well as men had to appeal for protection. Mr. Randall Bowie in those days was never found wanting. He and a few others like him were protectors to the colored people. He was prominent in politics soon after the Reconstruction period. He was a king politician under the Sheppard and Bowen regimes, and a true defender of his people. Secretary Taft, of the War Department, received an invitation to the national dinner of Mr. Charles Anderson of New York. When the Secretary received it he laughed all over and remarked that he was surprised. The per thing that should have been done was to have sent a committee and ascertained whether he would accept.Fur- JAMES L. NEILL, ATTORNEY. In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

Miss Mary' Nalle has been elected matron of the Orphans' Home, to succeed Dr Cole, who recently resigned. HOW CANDIDATES STAND. Dr. J R Wilder and Rev. Clair are for Secretary Taft. Attorney R. R. Horner and General Burte, who is it said will run, with either Mr. Horner or Attorney J. W. Patterson, are non-committal. Attorney L. M. King has not selected his running mate as yet. Attorney King date for President," and wonders where has not declared himself as yet, but is quite likely that he will also be an Administration candidate. Voters, or those who intend to vote, have demanded that candidates declare themselves. Many of them claim that the sentiment in town is anti-Administration; hence only a few have declared themselves as yet. "WHY DONT YOU TRY FOR ONE?" Dr. George R. Parkin, of London, England, who is in charge of the arrangements for examining applicants for the Cecil Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford, is in the city. The election of students is to be completed by April 15. There are at present 160 Rhodes scholarships at Oxford, but it will be several years before the limit is reached and the field is open to the world, regardless of color or nationality. It will be remembered that one colored young man, Alan LeRoy Locke, of Pennsylvania, captured one of the prizes last year, and Dr. Parkin reports that he is "making good" at England's historic seat of learning. While here he had a most interesting chat with Dr. Booker T. Washington and learned many facts concerning the progress of the Negro which pleased him greatly. ITEMS ON THE WING. At a meeting of the Colored Baptist Ministers of Richmond, Manchester, recently held, infant baptism was denounced. The Rev. Dr. Evans Payne started the ball rolling in his address The brethren approved. Dorsey Foulitz appears to be deserted. Kemp, Myers and the rest have returned; but no Dorsey. Dorsey, where art thou? The Odd Fellows Veterans Association of the District of Columbia have installed the following officers: L. A. Dodson, chief veteran; S. W. Watson, first vice chief; William Walker, second vice chief; L. P. Webb, third vice chief; J. B. Asking, financial secretary; C. H. T. Over, recording secretary; Ed Guary, treasurer; . H. Mahoney, chaplain; Frank Pendleton, sergeant-at-arms; Geo. W. Parker, chairman Lookout Committee. The officers were installed by Major-General J W oJnes. Carrie Nation is going to retire. Her hatchet and George Washington's were the most celebrated in the country. A meeting of the representative colored citizens of Richmond Va., was held to take action to bring to the attention of the Legislature the importance of making appropriation to found an institution for the education of the colored deaf, dumb and blind children of the State. Dr. R. E. oJnes presided. George St. Julian Stephens acted as the secretary. Jennie Caldwell, of Salts, Bell county, Ky., coolred, age 106 years, who does the cooking for her family, is now enjoying her third set of teeth. Her long life she lays to good whiskey. There is a great howl about Major Sylvester not putting on more police. The Major has been asking for more men ever since he has been in the office. The great trouble is labck of police and no work all over the city. The great cry is "tight times." The matter between the two opposing factions of Masons, viz, the Virginia Avenue and the Nineteenth Street, has been put off until some time next month.
