VOL. 27.NO 40 REPUBLICAN RALLY AT TRUE REFORMERS' HALL — ELOQUENT SPEECHES BY YOUNG ORATORS — STRONG TICKET ENDORSED. The largest and the most enthusiastic Republican meeting that has thus far been held was in rue Reformers' Hall Monday evening under the auspices of the Home Rule, United Republican Clubs, representing the twenty-two districts in this city. It was one of those old-time Republican meetings that recalled "ye olden times." Randall Bowie, chairman, called the meeting to order. He was assisted by Jesse Foster, vice chairman. Attorney Perrie W. Frisby acted as secretary. Seated upon the platform were J. T. C. Newsom, Attorney Thomas L. oJnes, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, Editor' James E. McGirt, Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Revs. L. C Moore and others. At eight o'clock sharp Chairman Bowie called for the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, which were read and adopted. James H. Holmes, chairman of the executive committee, W. CALVIN CHASE offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Home Rule, United Republican Clubs of the twenty-two legislative districts do hereby reaffirm and endorse Hopewell H. Darneille and W. Calvin Chase for delegates and Col. William S. Odell and Dr. Charles H. Marshall for alternate delegates to the National Republican Convention that is to meet in the city of Chicago, Ill., June 16, 1908, and shall use all honorable means to secure their election. There were fully five hundred and fifty Republicans in the hall, and when Chairman Bowie put the motion on the adoption of Mr. Holmes' resolution there was not a dissenting vote. The first speaker introduced was Editor aJ. E. McGirt, of the McGirt Magazine, of Philadelphia, Pa. Editor McGirt delivered an interesting address. He paid high compliment to Editor W. Calvin Chase of The Bee, and gave many reasons why the people should stand by him. Attorney Armond W. Scott of the local bar was next introduced. Attorney Scott was both eloquent and logical. He said that the nomination of Secretary Taft meant defeat for the Republican party. He also paid a high tribute to Senator J. B. Foraker, and gave many logical reasons why the colored ATTORNEY A. W. SCOTT. Americans should stand by him. Mr. Scott said further that he did not believe in this silk stocking element. There are the people (pointing to the audience) to whom I look for support. Those honest people who can appreciate what a colored lawyer does for them. There is nothing in the Democratic party for the Negro Republican, Continued to page 4. THE BEES WASHINGTON Congressional Library. Mr. Helfin, of Alabama: "The passage of my amendment for 'Jim Crow' cars would benefit both races in the District of Columbia. It would remove the cause of riction that you see on the cars every day, and which occur because you herd Negroes and whites in the same car." Mr. Foster of, Vermont: "It is regrettable that such an un-American proposition as this should be advanced on George Washington's Birthday." Mr. Campbell, of Kansas: "I have yet to see any offensive act on the part of a white man toward a black on a street car or of a black man toward a white. The people of the District of Columbia are legislated for by the American Congress, and Congress should adhere to the Constitution of the United States." Mr. Burleson, of Texas: "I send my children to the same school with colored children in Pittsburgh, aKns. I do not believe in marriage between the two races. There is a vast difference between social equality and political equality. I believe the right to attend school and to ride upon the street cars is a political right." Mr. Burleson, of Texas: "If a secret ballot of this House could be taken on the 'Jim Crow' street amednment there would not be five votes against the amendment." What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard It is a very strange thing to see the chairman of the Election Committee, Mr. Sidney Bieber, closed with candidates. A few evenings ago, or rather one day last week, he had Dr. William Tindall, Mr. Flathers, and the two Bradshaws in his office. It is understood that Messrs. Flathers and Horner have agreed to place Mr. Bieber on the National Committee. I want to say for the benefit of Mr. Bieber that neither Horner nor Flathers will have an opportunity to place him on the National Committee. The several candidates insist on having a representative in the several boxes. If it is the intention of those who have charge of the election to have a square election they will not object to the several candidates having representatives in the boxes. The candidates who enter the contest will not object if they are defeated squarily, but they will not put their money up and be fraudulently counted out. I was glad to see my friend Cooperr on the street the other day. He is out again and looking as well as ever. The mistake the people in this city make is their alliance with newcomers. All that a person has to do is to come into the city, make a big bluff of having great wealth, and that moment he is recognized as a great man. This is the weakness of the Washington people. One day Dr. Wilder is up and another day he is down. Sidney Bieber has formed a combination with Mr. Horner now, and Dr. Wilder is down and out. Dr. Wilder proposes to see that his votes are counted. A few days ago he declared that he would be elected, but now it looks very dark for the Adonis of the East. My friend Brother Bieber is weighed in the balance and found wanting. There is another ticket in the field, or there will soon be one. The Flathers ticket is the weakest in the field. It is the lily white ticket, which Republicans will not support. The people will have the voting to do and not the articles in the newspapers. Newspapers may sometimes make sentiment, and sometimes make votes; but this time they will neither make sentiment nor votes for Flathers, who is a candidate of Clover, a Democrat who has always been inimical to colored Republicans. Republicans should cut the lily white ticket. There is a growing tendency on the part of those up to trample under foot the rights of the poor. If a revolution should occur in the United States it would beat the Reign of Terror which happened in France some years ago. Between the money kings, rich women of the United States marrying for titles and taking millions from the United States, with foreign immigration coming here and returning home taking millions is the cause of the trouble in the United States. Also with the violations of the Constitution of the United States. There are quite a number of divines in politics in our city. M. SENATOR W, WARNTR OF MISSOURI. Voted Against Colored Soldiers To the United States Senate: Guestlemen of the Senate—I desire to call your attention to the expression of the people of this city relative to the Dolliver School Bill. I want you to know that over two hundred and fifty thousand people are opposed to this bill. If this bill is passed by the Senate the colored Americans will be satisfied that it was done to satisfy the Southern element that exists in your body, and who are opposed to colored people being on the Board of Educaction. There is too much of this catering to Democratic prejudice and discrimination. This comes from Southern Senators and members of the House of Representatives who are opposed to the colored people. I am addressing myself to the Republican members of the Senate who pretened to claim to be so friendly to the colored people. I do not want it said that the reason Republicans voted for the passage of that bill is on account SENATOR W. WAR Voted Against of so much friction in the publicies schools. This is untrue, gentlemen of the Senate, and you know if. There are ten millions or more of colored people in this country who demand equality of citizenship. These people have been faithful and loyal to the republic. They have struggled for an independence that was won by fire and blood and which seemed to be enjoyed by the white man only. The colored people hold sacred their public schools. The South, as you well know, does not accord to its colored fellow citizens public school facilities of any importance. Southern Democratic Senators have but little appreciation for the higher, or even lower, education of the colored pele in that section. I don't believe Republican Senators to whom I am particularly addressing this open letter, will be a party in passing the Dolliver bill, which means oppression to our colored teachers and an impediment to our colored public school system. Consider, gentlemen, what you do, and believe me to be. MR. TAFT LAMENTS. While seated in his study a few days ago, Hon. William Taft, the Secretary of War, and the presidential candidate of Mr. Roosevelt, said among other things to a distinguished visitor: "Oh! why did I cousent to the discharge of those colored troops. If I had remained steadfast I would not have the entire colored vote against me. I would be president. If I could only recall my act," said Mr. Taft, "I would gladly do it." This is the dilemma that Mr. Taft is in today. He does not know what to do. As a matter of fact the entire colored vote is divided. Many say that Mr. Taft is a good man; others say that he is against the colored Americans. Jim CrowLaw Defeated Jim CrowLaw Defeated THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS-MEN WANT JIM CROW CARS—THE ECHOES OF SECESION. The House of Representatives last week, when the railroad bill was under discussion, Helfin of Alabama, who is yet tainted with the memory of Jefferson Davis, precipitated the following discussion: But the unexpected happened when Representative Helfin, of Alabama, offered his amendment for "Jim Crow" cares, or for separate compartments for the whites and blacks. The House was in a turmoll for two hours or more while the members fought out this question For Good of Both Races. Mr. Heilson said: "The passage of my amendment will redound to the good of both races in the District of Columbia. It will remove the cause of friction that you now see upon the street cars of this city ev- NTR OF MISSOURI. Colored Soldiers ery day. We read in the newspapers about offenses and disturbances here and yonder. Yet nearly every day in the District of Columbia there are disturbances on the cars. "They occur because you herd in the same car Negroes and whites; because the males of one race see the males of the other race keeping their seats while the females of that particular race stand in the aisle, holding to straps. You will see in the cars every day Negro men keeping their seats, and white women holding to straps, and when a Negro woman enters the car the Negro men will rise and give her a seat. Ladies come into a car and a white man will rise and give the lady his seat, and there you have it. There is trouble between the races on this account, fist fights between white men and black men. A lady comes into a car and a Negro is sitting is sitting next to the only vacant seat. She does not want to sit down by him, but she is forced to do so or stand up. "This amendment will remove that. Put separate compartments in a car. Let the Negroes into their compartment and the whites into theira. Then let the white man give the white woman his seat and let the Negro man give the Negro woman his seat in his part of the car. Then this cause of irritation will be removed, and this clashing and ill-feeling, which constantly occur between the races, will cease. Gentlemen may theorize about this, but there are facts connected with it that you must realize sooner or later. Take the cars that run to Alexandria and Mount Vernon. You get into one of these cars and find there a compartment for the whites and a compartment for the blacks and no disturbance ever occurs on that car." Vermonter Protests. Mr. Foster, to Vermont, voiced his protest against the amendment, and said that it was regrettable that on the birthday anniversary of George Washington --- "such an un-American proposition" should be advanced. "Does my friend believe Washington himself would vote for this amendment if he were here?" inquired Mr. Griggs, of Georgia amid laughter. "Emphatically, son," responded MrFoster. The amendment was bitterly fought by Mr. Madden, of Illinois, who asserted that Congress should never legislate in favor of one element against another. He was twitched by Mr. Griggs, who inquired of him if he remembered "the shotgun quarantine established by Governor Tanner against Macross." Mr. Madden responded that he never conceded the right of the governor to ast as he did. By this time a number of Southern members were vainly seeking recognition. "Which race does the amendment discriminate against?" inquired Mr. Humphreys, of Mississippi, who first got the chairman's eye. "I don't concede the right of the gentleman to ask such a question," Mr. Madden replied, at which the Democrats laughed derisively. Mr. Campbell, of Kansas, took up the cudgels for the Negroes. He said: "The gentleman from Alabama has led us to believe that there is riot in the street cars of the District of Cobia. If there is, I have seen nothing of it. I have yet to see any offensive act on the part of a Negro toward a white man or on the part of a white man toward a Negro. It may be the friction exists in the mind of the gentleman from Alabama." Mr. Campbell continued, saying the people of the District are legislated for by the American Congress, and that Congress should adhere to the Constitution of the United States. "I should regard it as an evil day when the House should pass a bill which would create class disturbance. The gentleman from Alabama says, and he was shaking his finger at this side of the House, that there are men here who will vote against this amendment because there are colored men in their districts who have a vote. It is a shame to the gentleman from Alabama and to his party that there are thousands of colored men in his State and in the South who have no vote. (Applause on the Republican side.) Kansas Guarantee to Citizens. "I glory in the fact that the State I have the honor to represent here guarantees to every citizen within its confines the right to exercise the franchise under the Constitution of the United States and under the laws of that State. One man under the Constitution is as good as another, when he behaves himself. The amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama would, instead of allaying friction in the District of Columbia and in the United States, inaugurate an era of friction here and elsewhere in the country. The people of this country do not all think upon the question of the races as the people of Alabama and the people of Georgia think upon that question." Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, afterward read a dispatch from a Wichita, Kans., paper, in which it was stated that Booker T. Washington had been refused accommodations in the leading hotel of that city. This was greeted with applause on the Democratic side. Mr. Campbell said in reply that the hotel proprietor had acted without authority of any ordinance of he city or any law of the State of Kansas. Mr. Campbell further stated that if Booker Washington had had the time the hotelkeeper would have been made the defendant in an action for damages. "The probabilities are that the man who was running the hotel was a Democrat from Alabama," said Mr. Campbell. Mr. Burleson, of Texas: "I would like to ask the gentleman if it is not a fact that in some parts of Kansas the local authorities, under authority of the State law, provide separate schools for the races?" After Mr. Campbell had replied in the affirmative, Mr. Burleson said "Is that discrimination? Mr. Campbell replied: "That is discrimination that ought never to have been made." Some School, Some Ward. Mr. Griggs, of Georgia, asked, Has this hotelkeeper who unlawfully refused accommodations to Booker Washington ever prosecuted or punished or lost his license? Mr. Campbell—Not having any information, on the subject, I cannot answer the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. Griggs—Is there only one flotel in Wichita? PARAGRAPHIC NEWS PARAGRAPHIC NEWS The Evening Star says "It behooves the friends of Washington to prevent the enactment of the Dolliver School Bill in its present form." Today we pause, and drop a tear of grief; We cease from our mirth and joys, and view with reverence the ripened sheaf. The last of Editor Noyes. Editor Crosby Stuart Noyes died on February 21 at Pasadena, Calif., aged 83 years. The funeral takes place today in this city at 2:30 p.m. from St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church. William Menzo, a patient in the insane hospital in Jacksonville, Ill., is said to be dying from the inhuman treatment of three attendants, against whom a criminal charge is to be brought.

Here You May Find Solution of Problem That Confronts Housekeeper in the Disposal of the "Scraps." One of the most serious problems with which the ordinary housewife is confronted during the winter is the question of the best means for the economical disposal of the left-over vegetables. In the summer months, when green vegetables are plentiful, there are scores of uses to which the small messes left from dinner may be put, but when the foods to be disposed of include such things as squash, turnip, onions, cabbage, celery, radishes, etc., the cook often feels like abandoning the task as a hopeless one. In spite of this feeling, however, there are ways and means by which these apparently worthless left-over may be utilized to advantage—not in the form of unpalatable, messy mixtures, with the second-day's earmarks all over them, but as tasty and attractive dishes that cannot fall to meet the full approval of the most censorious member of the household. Thus, an excellent method of disposing of left-over squash is to add two well-beaten eggs and about a tablespoonful of flour to each pint of the cold vegetable. Blend the ingredients thoroughly; shape the mixture into square cakes; cover with egg and crumbs, and fry brown in deep fat. Fried cabbage is another delicacy that cannot be enjoyed until the cabbage has first been boiled. If some of the cooked cabbage is left from dinner, therefore, it lends itself gracefully to this method of treatment. To prepare it, cut some slices of fat bacon into strips, and put them in the frying pan. When they have commenced to cook, and the bottom of the pan is well greased, add the cabbage, and fry until thoroughly heated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Left-over sweet potatoes are delicious when cut into cubes and fried in deep fat, or they may be prepared after this fashion: Cut the potatoes into strips lengthwise; warm them alightly in the oven; roll them in granulated sugar, and fry them in a little butter until well browned. During the process of cooking it will be necessary to move the pieces about occasionally, or to shake the frying pan. Otherwise, they are likely to burn. To prepare left-over onions delectobaly, boil some rice in a little salted water, and when done, drain, but reserve the liquor. Butter a baking dish and arrange the rice and cold onions in laterate layers, cutting the onions into small pieces, if desired. Make a sauce by adding milk, butter, and salt to the rice water, and, if necessary, thicken with a little flour. Pour this into the baking dish, saturating the rice and onions thoroughly; cover the top with buttered bread crumbs, and bake until brown. Mix together four ounces of butter or lard, four ounces of ground rice, four ounces of sultanas, one-half pound of flour, one whole egg, two ounces of sugar, a teaspoonful of baking powder and sufficient milk to moisten it nicely; in a buttered tin from 30 to 45 minutes; serve plain dusted with sugar. Or mix together one-half pound of flour, a short teaspoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt, then rub into it four ounces of moist or caster sugar, a teaspoonful of grated lemon rind and four ounces of clayified dripping or butter, four ounces of sultanas (or any fruit to taste), moisten with the yolks of two eggs lightly beaten with about two tablespoonfuls of milk (if too moist the cake will be heavy), and add in the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth at the last; bake in a well-buttered mold strewed with flour and sugar. Stuffed Potatoes. Choose large potatoes of uniform size and bake. When done cut off the top of each potato and scoop out the insides with a teaspoon. Mash the potatoes soft with hot milk and season with salt and pepper and several spoonfuls of grated or Parmesan cheese. Mix well and return the potato to the skin. Pack the mass in well. Replace the tops of the potatoes which were cut off and return to the oven until hot all through. Chocolate Bars. Boll together one pound of loaf sugar and half a teacupful of cold water until it becomes clear; break a small cake of the best plain chocolate into small pieces and stir this into the sugar and water until it is dissolved. To this add one-half pound of desiccated cocoanut, stir all together and pour into buttered tins. When nearly cold cut into bars. Cost of Recipes. To know the comparative cost of recipes in most frequent use it is a good idea to insert the price of the different ingredients on the margin of the cook book heside each recipe. Figure the cost of eggs, sugar, butter, etc., at their highest prices. The plan is certainly an ald toward rational and intelligent economy.—Ladies' Home Journal. Have Even Colored Bread. Sometimes when light dough is left over to make rolls or biscuits the dough will be found sour and is hard to knead long enough to keep soda from strenking the bread. By first putting the soda in lard or butter before putting in the dough this can be avoided. FORT BUILT IN A NIGHT. Famous Old Walbach Tower in New Hampshire Crumbling Away. Boston.—The most picturesque object on the Piscataqua river is Walbach tower, built in 1814, on the ridge of a high ledge in Newcastle, N. H. For years it has slowly been crumbling away, and is now almost in ruins. In these modern times it seems so small as to suggest a fortification in miniature or model rather than for real use. It is built of brick, the top being covered with peat, cut from Col. Walbach's own swamp and which he intended for his winter fuel. Col. Walbach was a German count, who, it is said, fought against Napo- A large, flat, brownish surface with a few small, dark spots. Above it, there are three large, white clouds with dark centers. leon in 26 battles. He was in the service of the United States for a long time, being in command of Fort Constitution from 1806 to 1821. The entrance to the fort is difficult of access, as bricks and mortar have nearly choked the doorway. Inside this Martello tower is a rude pintlestone, on which to swing a 32-pounder. There are three embrasures for small cannon or muskets and under the floor a magazine. Like other historic places, Walbach tower has a legend connected with it. It seems that on one September morning three English ships were seen in the distance, lying under Appledore island, and when a rumor reached Newcastle that they intended to land, brave Col. Walbach resolved to build a tower which should protect all the beaches. That night men, women and children gathered and worked as they never worked before. It seemed as though every other course of bricks was laid by unseen hands, the work progressed so rapidly. The morning sun looked upon the tower completed and on the exhausted but satisfied people. The hostile ships, approaching the river mouth, saw the little town's defense, and, turning, fired a gun astern and sailed away. Thus, without a blow, the tower put one ooe to flight. This old landmark is within the government reservation, about a stone's throw from the disappearing guns which were placed in position soon after the Spanish war. In putting these guns in place the jar from the immense charges of dynamite nearly destroyed the walls of the old tower. AN EMPRESS' PLEASURE BOAT. Marble Ship of China's Ruler That Does Not Sall. London.—One of the most interesting photographs that have come from Peking illustrative of the life and ca- THE BAY OF THE BAY Pleasure Boat That Does Not Sail, prices of the empress dowager gives us a picture of her majesty's pleasure boat. This boat is stationed jin a lake in the gardens of the summer palace, and it differs from all other boats in that it stays where its builders put it, notwithstanding it has no anchor nor moorage of any sort. It is unique, also, in that it does not float. Another item in its uniqueness is that it is built of stone—marble, in fact. It really is a gorgeous summer house constructed in the form of a beautiful boat of the best Chinese type. Precisely when it was built is not publicly known, but it is not an old craft, nor even so old as to have lost its charm for the lady by whose orders it was constructed. It is said the dowager empress spends a good deal of her time when she is at the summer palace aboard this substantial, unsinkable, and in all respects reliable craft. The furnishings of the boat are extraordinarily beautiful, according to the Chinese standards, and this is especially true of the room where the empress occasionally dries. The largest rooms of destiny may be entered through the smallest doors of duty. FOR THE KITCHEN FURNISHINGS OF THIS MOST IMPORTANT APARTMENT. Aluminum the Most Satisfactory Material for the Necessary Utensils—Porcelain Fittings Preferable to Metal. Fastidious housekeepers are bestowing quite as much attention upon the furnishings of their kitchens as upon any other part of the house. The modern kitchen is sanitary in every respect and it gleams with white enamel, porcelain fittings, glass topped tables and white sinks. But the most attractive feature of this realm is the array of kitchen utensils and receptacles. These shine from being perfectly kept and from being made from a material which survives the treatment through which such articles must be put. Aluminum is generally considered the most satisfactory material for kitchen ware. It costs more than the majority of other kinds, but it is safe to use, is easily cleaned and always looks well. Careless women sometimes choose certain kinds of enamel ware for cooking and preserving and then wonder why the food has a peculiar taste, which is dupe to the ware alone. If a part of the enamel becomes chipped it is really unsafe to use, especially when anything with acid is cooked in it. Bras and copper kitchen ware is excellent if the pieces are well lined. They are more difficult to keep bright, but they repay the effort expended upon them when they form a glittering row against the white walls. The simplest and most convenient way to arrange one's kitchen utensils is to have a flat six inch board fastened horizontally against the wall on three or four sides, well filled with hooks of various sizes and kinds. This keeps the pots and pans out of the way but in easy reach when needed. The other necessaries of the kitchen, jars for sugar, pots for spices and the little odds and ends that must be kept on hand, may be arranged in porcelain receptacles. Germany, England and Holland are supplying us with some fascinating jars in white with blue or brown patterns, in Delft blues with white trimmings—in fact, in any of the popular colors which one might choose for kitchen furnishings. These jars may be had in sizes ranging from the tiniest little spice pot to one large enough to hold specially sifted and selected flour. Ordinarily these jars have covers to match and it is one of the housewife's greatest joys to arrange the jars on the shelves which she has put up in the pantry. These shelves are either enameled white or they are made of thick plate glass with porcelain or nickel supports. Whenever porcelain fittings can be substituted for metal it is infinitely better, for they are no trouble to keep clean, while, on the other hand, the weather and the atmosphere as well as the cooking affect the polish of the metal. Some housewives like to have their pantries and kitchens fitted with dull green pots and jars or with terra colta ones, though the majority prefer blue and white or white with some fresh colored pattern. Curried Rice. Put into a saucepan a cupful of strained and seasoned tomato juice and the same of mutton or veal or chicken stock which has been freed from every drop of grease. Wash four tablespoonfuls of rice in two waters, letting it stand ten minutes in a third. Add the washed and drained rice to the contents of the saucepan, which should be boiling hot. Stir in a heaping teaspoonful of curry powder. Cook without stirring until it has soaked up the liquid. Put in two tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper to your liking, simmer for one minute and dish. It goes well with boiled mutton or chicken. Pass Parmasan cheese with it for those who like the condiment. I do! Snowballs. Serve in one of those lovely glass baskets that have tall handles a Philadelphia ice cream, which is cream sweetened, flavored, frozen and made into balls by the ball scoop, which is used so much at the soda water fountains. If the cream be frozen sufficiently hard a perfect ball can be made, as with the potato ball cutter. A red ribbon bow may be tied to the handle of the basket, for this is the exception to the rule that ribbons and furbelows are not a becoming garnish. A rich red strawberry or red raspberry preserve or syrup could be poured around each ball as it is served, and thus add to the artistic as well as culinary effect of the dessert—Good Housekeeping. To Salt 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. Dry well, then put in oven. When heated 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. Penner Nuta. One pound brown sugar, four eggs, one-half egg shell water, one teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one teaspoon soda, one nutmeg, one cup chopped hickory nuts. Roll about half an inch thick, add enough flour to stiffen. Use the top of a small wine glass to cut them out. THE COMING ELECTION. How the District Will Be Divided.

HONOR CLAIMED FOR BUILDING AT SANTA FE, N. M. Foundation Laid in 1341, But Structure Has Undergone Many Changes Since Then—Has Historic Old Bell in Belfry. Kansas City.—The ancient Santa Fe church at Santa Fe, N. M., is the oldest house of worship in the United States, according to the claim of the Christian Brothers, the Catholic order which has charge of the edifice. "Brother David," who looks after the spiritual welfare of the parish, says the records of the Christian Brothers show that the foundation of the Santa Fe church was laid in 1541. The next oldest church building in this country is the mission of San Xavier, situated near Tucson, Ariz. in a Papago Indian settlement. There is a dispute as to whether the San Xavier mission was started in 1541, as is claimed by some, or at a later time. Coronado, who is said to have laid the cornerstone of the mission building, was in Spain in 1547, and it is believed by those who have investigated the facts hearing on the subject that the Santa Fe church is 10 or 15 years older than the San Xavier mission building. The construction of the Santa Fe edifice was slow work. The more expert artisans hau to be brought all the way from Spain Indians were forced to perform much of the hard manual labor, such as making the adobe bricks or blocks which were used in the walls and carrying them to the places where they were laid. The walls of the building are from three to five feet thick. That the sun-dried clay blocks Ancient Church at Santa Fe, N. M. were strong and serviceable is attested by the fact that they have withstood the ravages of the elements for nearly 400 years and still are in apparently as good condition as when they were first placed in position. The church has undergone many improvements since first it was built. It now has little resemblance to the original structure. The adobe outside walls have been smoothed over with plaster and wherever evidence of decay was shown repairs were made. The ancient belfry has been remodeled to such an extent that its appearance is entirely changed from that of the original structure. The old bell, which is said to have been placed in the church at the time of its completion, now occupies a position just inside the entrance door of the church. The bell of itself is a relic that attracts the attention of all who visit the historic place. It was cast August 9, 1356, as is shown by the date which is molded upon it. The tone of the bell is mellow and musical and can be heard a great distance. The distinguished honor of ringing this ancient bell is accorded to but few persons by "Brother David." President Roosevelt is one of those who was invited to sound for the tones of the bell. This was, in 1903, when the president visited Santa Fe. The chief executive of the nation pulled the rope with a vigor that caused the bell to give forth a tone that was heard far beyond the limits of the parish. This bell is said to have done service in Spain for nearly 200 years before it was brought to the ancient publo of Santa Fe and installed in this church. In the times when the church edifice was used as a fort to ward off attacks of the Indians the bell was used to sound the alarm to the settlers of the Santa Fe district when the Indians swooped down upon the pueblo. When the church was built and for a century or two afterwards the openings in its walls, now fitted with windows of glass, were covered with woven Indian blankets when storms came. Ordinarily the openings were left free of obstructions and the pure air of the mesa swept through the building. The bare ground served for a floor until 1710, when a puneon floor was put down. Since that date the interior of the church has been ornamented with a gallery. The walls of the edifice are adorned with a number of paintings, some of which are the work of old masters and are very valuable. Additions to Solar System. The known number of little members of the solar system continues to increase every year. Up to June last the number to which permanent designations had been given was $35. Many reported discoveries turn out to be simply the refinding of asteroids already known. Fifteen instances of this kind occurred in 1906 and the first half of 1907. —Youth's Companion. WETMORE AGAIN A SENATOR. Rhode Island Deadlock Broken on Eighty-Fifth Ballot. Providence, R. I.—George Peabody Wetmore was re-elected to the United States senate on the first ballot cast in both branches of the Rhode Island general assembly the other day, receiving a total of 68 votes. Col. Robert H. I. Goddard of this city, the Democratic and Lincoln Republican nominee, was given a total of 36 votes, while Col. Camuel P. Colt of Bristol received five votes. The voting was a continuation of the balloting which occupied much of the time of the general assembly at the 712 GEORGE·D·WETTROE last session, which at the time of adjournment was still in deadlock. The first ballot of the session was the eighty-fifth in the contest. Senator Wetmore was the Republican candidate for re-election, and as the Republicans have 72 votes to 39 of the Democrats and Lincoln party, a united vote, it was believed before the balloting began that he would be returned to Washington over Goddard. Both candidates were in the contest at the last session, but Col. Samuel Pomeroy Colt polled a majority of the Republican votes. Senator Wetmore lives in Newport. He was born in London in 1846 during the visit of his parents abroad. He was graduated from Yale in 1867, was governor of Rhode Island from 1885 to 1887 and was elected to the United States senate by unanimous vote in 1894. He was re-elected in 1901. He is a millionaire and a social leader. A REMARKABLE CHIMPANZEE. Takes Daily Bath and Eats Breakfast with Mistress. London.—England is much interested in a young chimpanzee belonging to Miss A. F. Hall, which is being brought up with about as much care as would be bestowed on her if she was a human being. Every morning, Miss Dalsy, for that is the chimpanzee's name, has her bath. She is then dressed and conducted to the breakfast room of her. MISS DARSK mistress' house, where she sits at the table with the family and feeds herself with a spoon. For the balance of the day, she is subjected to humanizing and educational influences to which her mistress says she responds in a most satisfactory manner, so that she grows in knowledge and good breeding very rapidly. Miss Hall has high aspirations for her little chimpanzee. She confidently expects to teach her to do a great many things no other chimpanzee ever has done. She declines to state the limit of the possibilities she conceives of when she thinks of Miss Dalsy's future. It may be she hopes to send her to Girton college, where England's most aristocratic young women get their higher education. Smokeless Coal A London inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after filtration, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful, because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Sir W. B. Richmond, president of the Society for the Prevention of Smoke, has bought up this invention. VEGETABLES IN NEW GUISE. Appetizing Ways of Preparing the Odds and Ends. To serve cold turnips attractively, heat a cupful of soup or good stock; add a cupful of bread crumbs and simmer for five minutes. Add the mashed turnips, two or three tablespoonfuls of cream and the requisite amount of salt and pepper. When thoroughly hot turn in the beaten yolk of an egg; cook for a minute or two longer and serve quickly. If some of the large stalks of celery have been left from dinner and the cook does not desire to make them into soup stew them until tender in slightly salted water; then drain them through a colander and chop fine. Add cream, melted butter, beaten egg, and salt to taste, and to each pint of the mixture one level teaspoonful of baking powder that has previously been sifted into a little flour. If the batter is not of proper consistency, a little more flour may be added, for the mixture must be thick enough to drop properly from the end of a spoon into the deep fat in which it should be fried. Even the radishes lett on the table may be, served attractively if this formula is followed: Let them cook until tender in just enough boiling water to cover them. Keep the saucepan securely covered until the radishes are done; then uncover and reduce the liquor one-half. Add an equal quantity of milk, and when at the point of boiling, stir in the necessary amount of flour and butter to thicken the sauce appropriately. If you have never tried this experiment in cooking radishes the result will be certain to prove a pleasing surprise. WHEN CARPET BECOMES BARE. Devices by Which Its Usefulness May Be Prilonged. In the case of a bare carpet three courses may be followed. A new one may be substituted, the old one being relegated to a room of less consequence; or a square may be put on top of the old; or a manipulation of the widths may be attempted, banishing the worn parts to obscure corners underneath rugs or pieces of furniture, where they will scarcely be seen and not trodden upon. A word of advice may here be given about regulating the wear of stair carpet. Each length of it should always be at least half a yard longer than actually required, to permit of changing the tread. In laying such a carpet for the first time have the surplus half yard at the top. After the first time it is taken up, when relaying 'pull it over the step a few inches, and so on until the surplus half yard is all at the bottom; then the carpet could be reversed and this process repeated, with the result that some years will be added to the life of the carpet. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Iron rust can be removed with salt mixed with a little lemon juice. A spoonful of vinegar put into the water in which meat or fowls are boiled makes them tender. To clean decanters put a teaspoonful of salt in each decanter, molten with vinegar, shake well to clean the inside of bottle, then rinse thoroughly with cold water. When mixtures have been burned in granite ware half fill the utensil with cold water and add a little washing soda or soap powder. Heat slowly to the boiling point, then empty and wash as usual. When a broom is beyond use for sweeping purposes it will be found excellent for scrubbing the kitchen floor. Go over the floor with the broom and hot suds, then mop with clear water. Never use a good broom for this purpose. Frozen Souffle. A frozen dessert which is a sort of first cousin to the souffle family—indeed, it bears the family name—will be found a welcome change when one is tired of the more usual creams and sherbets. Soak one-half box gelatine in one-half cup cold water. Beat the yolks of four eggs with one-half pint sugar, and add one pint fresh pineapple juice and another one-half pint sugar. Strain into a pan and put the pan inside another pan containing shaved ice or water. Dissolve the gelatine in one-half cup boiling water and strain it into the mixture. Beat this without stopping, and as it begins to thicken add one pint of cream which has been previously whipped and drained. Mold and freeze. Baked Bean Salad. Peel and slice fine eight, small onions, pour cold water over them and press hard with the hands to remove the strong taste. Drain well and put in the salad bowl with three cups cold baked beans. Toss lightly, add a teaspoonful salt, a half teaspoonful pepper, two tablespoonfuls salad oil, a teaspoonful of white sugar and a small cup of vinegar. Mix. Garnish with olives, green or the ripe black ones, hard-boiled eggs sliced and lettuce. Corn with Macaroni. Break one-fourth of a package of macaroni into small pieces and cook in boiling salted water. Have ready one can of corn stewer and seasoned. Place the corn and macaroni in alternate layers in a buttered baking dish; molten with one cupful of sweet milk, dot with bits of butter and bake until nicely browned. HOW TO WASH CHAMOIS. Gloves of That Kind Should Be Cleansed in Bath of Soapy Water. Every woman is under the impression that chamals skin gloves are grand till she has tried to wash as pair. They are said to wash so easily that the one who has a pair seldom makes any attempt to keep them clean in the beginning. She is sure that all she has to do is to give them a careless scrubbing to make them as good as new that she doesn't take even the ordinary precautions. Walt till she has tried washing them just once, and then hear her denounce anything made of chamals skin forever after. They can be washed to look like new, however. If one but knows the little trick of leaving the soap in to keep them soft. Again, it is bad policy to wash them on the hand, as they are sure to stretch this way. Rather cleanse them by the squeezing method, rolling them up in a little ball in the palm of the hand. Wash in several waters, all soapy, and finally pull into shape without rinsing. Do not stretch them in the least, but after working the fingers into shape hang them in a current of air, but not near heat of any kind. When dry give them a vigorous rubbing with a brush to bring up the nap. OLD-FASHIONED STYLES LIKED. Odd Shapes in China Are in Favor This Season. Old-fashioned styles in china will prevail this season, and to the uninitiated much of the new dinner ware will appear cheap because the shapes are odd rather than pretty. For this innovation possibly the craze for mission furniture in dining-rooms is responsible, for many of the designs are in keeping with this style of furnishing. As to the decoration on these—mission sets—small, plain-looking nosegays of flowers in one color are used throughout each service. This ornamentation is in just such plain shades as green, blue and red. There is a marked change in the shapes of the dishes, for the square vegetable dishes and sauce boats, the latter made in one piece, with the dish it rests upon, have returned to favor. Flat meat dishes follow the lines of the covered ones and are decidedly angular. Small butter plates are shaped square to match, and so are many of the smaller side platters. Maple Sugar Cake This is a recipe not generally known, but it has been tried with great success. For the layers rub together one cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar until they form a cream. Add the yolks of four eggs boaten lightly, three cupfuls of sifted flour, half a cupful of milk, the whites of the eggs whipped to a froth and lastly one teaspoonful of baking powder. Bake in jelly pans. For the filling boil one cupful of maple sirup until it threads. Pour slowly upon the white of one egg, which has been beaten stiff, beating steadily all the while. Continue beating until the mixture is cold and thick, then spread between the layers and on the top. If desired still richer stir half a cupful of butternuts, which have been chopped fine, into the filling just before spreading on the cake. New Use for Table Oil/Cloth A woman who is always discovering things about the house that nobody else ever thought of says that the oilcloth used for kitchen tables makes an excellent floor covering if used over felt padding. It has the merit, moreover, of coming in daintier patterns than the ordinary oilcloth used for kitchens. It can be kept perfectly clean by scrubbing with soapy water made from a good white soap. Do not rub the soap on the oilcloth itself, but instead make a strong suds. The strong yellow soaps used in most kitchens will soon wear off the luster of the oilcloth and make it dull and shabby looking. Wipe the floor perfectly dry with a clean soft cloth. Turkish Delight Soak an ounce of gelatine for two hours in half a cupful of cold water, Dissolve two cupfuls of granulated sugar in half a cupful of cold water. As soon as it boils add the gelatine and cook steadily for 20 minutes. Flavor with the rind and juice of one orange and orange flower water or rose water. Turn into tins wet with cold water and when set cut into squares. Roll in a mixture of cornstarch and confectioner's sugar. A few chopped nuts may be added to the stirup when it is taken from the fire. New Idea in Napkin Rings. An embroidered napkin ring is a pretty novelty. The design is worked in the solid satin stitch on heavy linen; then the lining is carefully basted along the edge, and this is buttonholed with small scallops, the buttonholing fastening the outside and lining together. One end is pointed and has a buttoh loop loop at the extreme point. The other end is straight and a small pearl button is sewed on about two inches from the end. The loop fastens over this, and the ring is complete. Dolly Varden Cake One cupful white sugar; one half cupful of butter beaten to a cream, whites of three eggs beaten to a froth, one half cupful of sweet milk, two cupfuls of flour, one teaspoonful cream tarin; one half teaspoonful, soda, flavor with lemon; beat the yolks of three eggs with 15 spoonfuls of powdered sugar; put the frosting on the cake as soon as removed from oven. JAPANESE COLONY IN TEXAS. Settlement Comprisses 1,000 Acres—Many Japs Becoming Naturalized. San Antonio. Tex.-Friction between the United States and Japan over the immigration of Japanese laborers to this country, which brought on race riots in San Francisco and elswhere on the Pacific slope, lends interest to the immigration of Japanese to Texas, through Mexico. The movement rose to a considerable importance in 1904 and 1905, and reached its climax in the early part of 1907, when great numbers of Japanese entered Texas. They came in Japanese House In Texas. bodies of 30 or 40 at a time, each group having a leader. As many as 400 or 500 of them were in San Antonio at one time last spring, and for several months displaced the negro servants, especially as coachmen. Then suddenly all of these men quit their positions and embarked on a train for the northwest. Many of the Japanese, however, who have come to Texas have come in good faith as settlers. Some of them, especially the colony at Webster, in Harris county, in this state, have signified their intention of becoming American citizens. The Sixty-first district court of Harris county has granted to some of them preliminary papers as proof of the "declaration of intention." The question has been risen as to whether the Japanese are eligible to American citizenship. It is stated that a federal judge in a western Texas district has held that the Japanese are eligible, and it is probable that at the end of the term of qualified residence no objection will be made to the final naturalization. This colony in Harris county occupies about 1,000 acres of land, nearly all of which is under cultivation, the most of it being planted in rice. They also cultivate vegetables and fruits, and have proved themselves successful farmers. They have built themselves comfortable homes and have to a great extent adopted American customs. They have a Presbyterian church and a preacher trained at the Union Theological seminary in Virginia. About four years ago a colony of Japanese settled on the Mitchell lake farms, south of San Antonio. The Mitchell lake farms are under irrigation and the Japanese have held their own with the Germans and the Bohemians, who have been the most successful farmers in this part of the country. One of the most successful of this colony, named Porido, took advantage of the influx of his countrymen last winter and had some Japanese carpenters in the party build him a Japanese house. It is rather a quiet and graceful type of architecture and is well adapted to this climate. He lives there with his wife and two children. The oldest, a boy about three years of age, is the first Japanese child born in Texas. Ex-Viceroy of India Elected to Vacancy in House of Lords. London.—Lord Curzon of Kedleston, ex-viceroy of India, who by the recent LORD CURZON. election in Dublin became a representative Irish peer to fill the vacancy in the house of lords caused by the death of Lord Kilmaine, has a special interest for Americans in view of the act that his wife, who died in 1906, was Miss Mary, Letter of Chicago. He is the eldest son of Rev. Alfred N. Golden Curtzon, Baron Scarsdale, a country clergyman. Lord Curtzon was born in 1853, educated at Eton and Oxford and entered politics in 1886, as conservative representative for the southport division of Lancashire. He traveled extensively in the east he once he was made a viceroy, which office he held from 1898 until 1905.

A delightful dinner for 12 persons, which was largely prepared, by the practical hands of the hostess, may interest our readers. The centerpiece was a very large epergne of cut glass heaped with fruits, and the menu was as follows: Roast Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing. Gliblet Gravy. Mashed and Stewed Potatoes. Celery. Cranberry Sauce. Brussels Sprouts. Cauliflower. Waldorf Salad on Lettuce. Mayonnaise. Old-fashioned Stuart Plum. Pudding. Brandy Sauce. Neopolitan Ice Cream. Orange Sponge Cake. Coffee. The caviare canapes were made from half slices of rye bread. These were buttered and spread in three strips with caviare, minced white onion and chopped hard-bolled egg yolks. The caviare was in the center and the onion one side, and the eggs on the other, with a little chopped parsley over all. The cocktails were made as usual, with oysters surrounded with tomato catup and lemon, and served in tall glasses. The home-made sponge cake was a great success and can be duplicated by following this rule: Orange Cream Layer Cake. One and one-half cupfuls of sugar, which must be pulverized. Three eggs beaten entire with the sugar. It is wise to sift the sugar if at all lumpy. Sift $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour into the mixing bowl with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix the beaten eggs and sugar into the flour. Beat all together until light, adding half a cup of hot water and the juice and rind of half an orange. Have the water on to boil and the orange prepared before the cake is begun. The other half of the orange will be needed for the filling. Therefore, grate the rind entirely and squeeze out all the juice, then measure half the rind thus grated for the cake and half the juice. While the cake is baking in layer tins or a shallow pan, which will allow it to cut in squares larger, the filling must be made. Orange Cream Filling. One large cupful of milk put on the fire to scald. Take two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of corn starch and a half teaspoonful of flour. Mix these dry and shake gradually into the hot milk. After it thickens —meanwhile it must be well stirred —add a beaten egg. Beat this in thoroughly, then add the grated rind and pulce of the half orange. Cool and fill the cake when it, too, is cool. It will keep for several days. Old-Fashioned Suet Pudding. One cupful of molasses, one cupful of sugar, either white or brown; one cupful of chopped beef suet, one cupful of sour cream, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the cream, a pinch of salt, flour and spices. It must be made quite stiff with flour, noticeably so when dropped from the spoon. For spices use cloves, cinnamon and allspice, a teaspoonful each. For the fruit have ready a cupful of chopped raisins, of the seedless kind, a cupful of currants, a half cupful of sliced citron, a cupful of chopped figs. Grease two lard pails of small size. Allow room for swelling. Steam for an hour and a half. Weight the pails down with iron. Keep one pudding and reheat it another day. For the sauce take one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour, stirred together while melting. Add half a cupful of white sugar and two cupfuls of boiling water. Stir until this has thickened. Then add the heaten yolks of two eggs after the sauce has been removed from the fire. Flavor with brandy or wine, or else lemon. For Sunday Dinner This recipe makes a Sunday dinner and a wholesome, nourishing Monday luncheon. From the shoulder of lamb have $2\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of meat cut in chop shape. Brown them nicely in a tablespoon of butter or drippings in a large kettle, preferably an iron one. Add two quarts of boiling water, one tablespoon of rice, one of flour, small onion, a little parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Cook slowly one hour, then make dumplings of one large cup of flour, sifted with one heaping teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and one of sugar, milk to make a soft dough, softer than biscuit dough, stir with a spoon; do not roll out or cut with knife, simply break-off little pieces of dough and drop in boiling kettle; cover closely and cook for 20 minutes. Paranip. Balls. Mash fine one pint of boiled parsnips, add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a high seasoning of salt and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Stir over the fire until hot, take off and add one well-beaten egg. When cold make up into small balls, dip in egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry golden brown in deep fat or saute in a little fat. Molasses and Cranberry Ple. Four cups cranberries, chopped or put through food cutter, two and a half cups of sugar, one-half cup molasses, butter half the size of an egg, three tablespoonfuls corn starch wet with little cold water, one pint boiling water poured over starch, stirring as it thickens. Mix all together and bake with two crusts Se Ee ee re we ah pe PRESEN eS aes 4 EF EER RGE a S Er ° peti - aes Oe Bee TE ee ee bet HERES es peptone tartan hae Sheree mon cen bern admit Bettas eI S | ay : “ : » 4 at ah... peeel oncue ase go “™ BP a 2 we yi 2 Wes Soe as ae wey oe. “heeives . wesw a eee «=O et ‘; FURLISEDL _ 1109 Eye St. N.

In the House of Representative: who is yét tainted with-the memory of the “Lost Cause,” endeavored t attach to the District Appropria tion Bill a “Jim Crow” street cai amendment, . Tt seems from the Uebate that was participated in by Southern Democrats that the colored people in this city are very distasteful to them while riding in the street cars. The Bee would suggest, as it suggested before, Will the South- ern Democratic members introduce a bill or an amendment to the Dis- trict street car bill prohibiting ce:- tain Democratic members from the South from visiting the cglored sporting houses in this city, and more especially “Mahogany Hall”? Why is it that certain Soitthern Congressmen seem to appreciate the company of these colored dam- sels, but seem to have a distaste for respectable ‘colored men and women? * Now, if some of these yentle- men would stand upon the corner of Thirteenth and C streets at dark or between the hours of seven and daybreak they will no doubt cease in their efforts to, establish “Jim Crow” cars in the District of Co- Jumbia. 7 CROSBY S. NOYES. No death since that of the la- mented McKinley has shocked the people of this city more‘ than that of Crosby S, Noyes, Editor of the Evening Star of this city.

J. ORTWAY HOLMES. Attorney Scott, after having spoket three quarters of an hour, concluded amidst the greatest applause and en: thusiasm, : Mr. J. T. Newsom, of the Thirteenth District, was the next speaker, and said in part as follows: We are now entering upon one of the most exciting and interesting political campaigns that this country has ever known, This is a momentous period in our history: momentous for the vested in- terests of our country; momentous for cur public ipstitutions; momentous for the rights, the liberties and the protec- tion of the Negro! * It, therefore, becomes us as men, it becomes us as citizens of a great and good country, to be awtchful and unit ed, . To my mind, this marks the crucial point in the political history of the Ne- gro in America. Open toleration, if not secret connivance withe the enemies of ‘the Negro, has been formed by those in authority, Diccrimination, oppressio and wrong have been the order of the day Ordinarily: our battle cry should be “Measuresnot men;” with us hence- forth it must be reversed; it must be “Men, not measures; principles, not parties.” oFr, have we not seen meas- ures; have we not seen platforms; yea, Lave we not seen the very Constitution itself muhlessly trampled- under foot in an cffort to placate the Negro-hating clement of the South? . When Diogenes, the Grecian philos- oplier, in broad daylight, with a Ian. tern iy his hand, was questioned as to what he wax looking for, he replied that he wvas looking for a man, an non est man. ft is the man, the true, nian, she aman of conviction znd cowrage, tor when we pre looking today, in order to accure justice for the whole peopls. Such a man, we believe, iy found 14 the persun of United States Senator J. B, Foraker. ‘This name to the Ne- gro, is an enchantment What Negro is there in all this broad land of Am- erica, is so devoid of conscience and Barna + ane soul co ilead, cat he does not love and rever th name of Senator Foraker? If any here be, Tet hinw rise and stand forth, as 2 saipte of the basest of ingrates! We ray not be able to nominste Sen atuz Foraker at the Chicago ‘Conven: tion; we can, at least, give him the loyal support hich his unflaggung fi delity to the scause of justice deserves and as a last resort support the can: didate of his choice. Friends, I bad rather go down in glorious defeat ‘thar achieve inglorious success, As a race ve must learn to stick to our friends. Gratitude is the fairest flower that Bloons in the human breast, while in. I gratitude is Stronger than traitors’ arms The Negto has been accused of Iack. Ise in gratitude to his friends. It is ssaid that the late John Sherman went down to his death with a feeling of distrust against the Negro, caused by th: desertion of certain Southern delegate at Chicago in '76, after they had re- ceived his money and he’ their promise ef support. But cur friends are not all dead. There are others, besides Senator For- aker. This was shown by the debate in the House of Representatives 2 few days ago, when the Heflin amendment to the trackage bill was before the Honse.

It is true, gentlemen, A man, a doctor, a vety estimable gentleman and friend of mine has announced himsglf as a Foraker candidate, when in reality he is at heart a Taft candidate and sympathizer, not- withstanding his disclaimer in a mom- ing paper; and 1 warn you now, gen- tlemen, that a vote for that gentleman is a vote for Taft I make the charge that he is a party to the scheme to weaken the Foraker sttength in this sity, There are other like efforts be- ing put_forth to defeat us They are €erperate. There is another ticket to which I desire to call your attention. It is a newcomer in the field. I call it the “Bat ticket” Bat ticket because it has Taft on one end and Foraker on the other—2, Taft head and a Foraker tail, You have heard the story of the owl that was prowling around in earn- est searhe of prey, when he came upon a bat _ .isitsrH@he2msi23 456123456456. a bat, His first impulse was to eat it; but, on closer inspection, it appeared to him to be a mouse on one end’ and 4 dird on the other. “Last night,” he said to himself, “I ate a mouse, and it gave me the nightmare; gnd as for birds, Iam very fond of them; anyhow, because of its suspicious appearance, [ [think it wise not to! touch it” So he tefvsed to have anything to do with the thing. So I say to you, gentlemen, beware of the “Bat ticket"—you might be able t6 digest the bird end of it, but the bat end “of it might lay heavy on your stomach and give you the night- mare Because it is neither fish nor towl, have nothing to do with it. So, elt us not divide our strength. Let us get together and stand together on clection day, in order to be sure of two delegates from the District of Co- lumbia. [am a Republican, and glory in the history and traditions of the grand old party. I amgproud of the achievements, and I am eager for her triumphant success, in the cnsuing pres- idential campaign; but I would rather vote for 2 Democrat than an unfriendly Republican, I would sather vote tor Bryan than Taft, with his Greensboro |. and Kansas City speeches, approving] ke Southern election laws. But, wel. should not be compelled to vote for Democrats, If those gentlemen on the Taft side are true and loyal Republi- sans, let them not insist on foisting up- m the porty a candidate who is ob-|! ectionablé to a large part of our vot- wg populstion. To do so brands them |! 1s enenucs off the party’s best inter- sts; and hence they do not deserve our |! ympathy and support, There are lots} of true and capable Republicans who an command the united support of the’ asty. . : We want home rule for the District} § yf Columbia We want also_men who eprescnt that idea, For years Mr. W.|! “alvin Chase has stood like a Horatio t the bridge, defending the rights and] iberties of the colored race in the Dis- rict. He has been the successful" lead-|! in some very important domestic mat- |" ers lately, which ought to commend iim not only fo the confidence and] f \uppart of the colored” people, but tol] he whites'as well. I refer to his ad- nirable and successful fight for the re-}1 neval of Chancellor as superintendent yE our schools, Twenty-five years ago,| way down in Texas, I read of the}’ venderful fighting abilities and courage]! of this man.

Mr, Jones gave 2 review | of gavernments,and their duties tg- ward their own citizens. He referred]! to the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant,| Langston and Douglass. He told what the other candidates for delegates had not done, and asked what their ‘claims were in asking for the suffrages of the ‘dred teachers, five huddred or more of whom were colored, were on the verge of collapse, it was the persistent efforts of W. Calvin Chase that got the teach- ers relief. When colored men were dis- | eriminated against in the jury box it ;was W, Calvin Chase and your humble sercvant that had the condition changed, se were Wilder, Horner, Murray, Tindale and Flathers? Oh, yes, these gentlemen said, Oh, we can’t do that, i might create strife; but W. Calvin Chase did not care’ about strife. He thought of his people and how they were oppressed, and changed these con- ditions. . W. Calvin Chase was the next instro- duced, and received a tremendous ova- tion. He said he was glad that he was bom and reared in the city of Washington, and that hé did not have to leave his home to keep from being known, and crowd out other people I don't propose to be crowded out, said he. We have had too much of this crowding out of our citizens for other people; but the time has come for us to do some crowding. ‘We are asleep, said Mr, Chase, and while you are asleep the invaders are running away avith our city. Awake! I say, and be on the watch and defend our rights, our liberties, and the cause of humanity. ‘Someone in the audience asked him to ‘what chtrch he belonged. I belong to that church that believes in man and! man’s humanity to man I belong to that church that believes in equality of citizenship irrespective of the complex- ion of your skin and the kink in your haid’ I believe in the common people and the man who earns,his living by the sweat of his brow., Take from me the so-called temperance advocates, be- cause I know many of them to be hypo- critica, and insincere These men in Congress, or many of them, who want the “Jim Crow” car law shoufd first withdraw their support from Mahogany Hall and cease their visits there; then théy can talk about “Jim Crow’ ca laws in the District of Columbia, Let} me impress upon you all the importance bf registering your vote. The nomina- ‘ion of Mr Flathers means Clover, the Negro-hating Democrat Fathers is Clover, and Clover is Flathers; so be yn the lookout. Dr. Wilder and the Flathers ticket are the Ta(t tickets, and hey should say so and not prevaricate. Someone said that Horner hasn’t got-| en his seat warm as yet.

MEETING AT TUSKEGEE, The Yearly Conference of Workers at Tuskegee. = Booker Washington Makes a Hopeftil \ Address and Farmers and Others Re- port Progress — Dectarations Adopt- ed. = Tuskegee, February 19—(Special)— Booker T, Washington opened the six- teenth annual session of the Negro Cén- planation to the farmers, He spoke to them of the secds which it has been the custom of the Agricultural Depart- ment at Waskington to send to the conference for distribution every year. “These seeds,’ he said, “are not sent out by the government as a charity. They are given you to encourage you t¥at you can sce the difference between jetting your vegetables out of the soil and buying them in the store.” A large number of Negro farmers who had come to the conference with samples of the vegetables they had rais- ed took advantage of these remarks to hand or lift up for the inspcetion of Washington and the conference samples of the beets and the ‘turnips they had grown during the past- year from the seeds they had obtained the year befre. “I do not believe farmers who raise turnips and beets like these on thelr farms will suffer for want of some- thing to eat,” Washington continued. “I want all of “you to take these seeds and go home and do likewise.” « Rain and cold discouraged 2 good many of the Negroes in the wrround- ing country from attending the confer- ence this year, There was not the usual assortment of wagons, carts and ox-teams on the grounds ofthe Nor- mal School when the sessions opened today, But it did not discourage the farmers who came from a distance. They came from Georgia, Florida, Mississip- pi and Tennessee. Wherever the fame jof the schodt has spread men came to the conference’ to see and to hear and to tell what they had accOmplished to- ward improving their condition: Before he proceeded to his annual address Washington cautioned the mem- bers of the conference about’ the im- portance of telling the truth. “There is a great temptation, when a man gets on his feet to speak to a crowd,” he said, “to state the thing a little stronger than it is. It seems to me it’s harder to tell the truth to a large number of people than to one man. We.want the truth here, as far as we can get it.” ‘This sentiment was strongly endorsed by G. W. Jeter, a preacher from near Miltedd, who owns 420 acres of land Washington, explaining the purpose of the conference as it was originally started, said that it was for the pur- pose of. encouraging the people to strug: gle on and improve their condition by showing them actual examples of men and women who had succeeded. “Some people,” he said, “criticise us because we try her to look at the bright side of things and emphasize the suc- cesses of our people rather than their failures. Now, God knows that we have troubles enough. We have them every day. Ang that’s the reason it scems {0 me we Can afiord to take onc day in the year to look to the bright side of things, to measure our successe: and get some hope to tarry us through ‘the next twelve montha* When a mar makes up his mifd that he is going to die, you know, there is no medicine car cure him. Well, it is just so with’a race. We must go patiently and hope- fully forward. You know what the Bible says: “Kap avercoMing evil with—what is it the Bible says?—with good. That's right.” In the course of his address Wash- ington emphasized the importhnce of the temperance movement and urged the Negrocs to/do all in their power to astist in the enforcement of the law. He spoke of the peaceful relations be- tween the races which hid existed dur- ing the past year, “Perhaps the greatest element of good so far gotten ont of-these annual Negro cofnerences said Washington, “has been a determination on the part of the masses of our people to improve their material, educational, moral and relig- ious condition. The masses of our peo- ple, especially in this part of the South, are thoroughly convinced that they have it within their power to make improve- ments in these directions. So long as a race is hopeful ‘and cheerful, it will find ats place and its reward in the world. It is hard to help a ace that does not believe that it can succeed and has a future, These conferences, attended as they are by representative men and women from all sections: of the South, have demonstrated above ev- eryshing else that nothing can discour- age or dampen the spirit and -ambition of oug people in the: direction of im- proving their ondition. “We may congratulate ourselves: that this has been a year for the most part of peace and good will, between the races in this country, and especially in the South, While herc and there there have been outbreaks of violence and lawlessness, we may congratulate our- selves that, in nine-tenths of the centers of population in the South a friendly and helpful spirit exists between the races. “We must not overlook the fact tha: we occupy mainly 9s laborers and ag: ricultural workers nearly one-fourth o} the physical territory of this country We will not be permitted long to occu py sttch a large proportion of one o! ‘the richest countries in the world un: ‘less we demonstrate that we can get a: much out of this terrifory, and espect ally out of the soil, as any other race Men may draw racial and color lines but soil and rain and stinshine yiel¢ their riches as readily to the toil of th black hand as to the, white hand. | “I am sure that each one gathere here joins with me in expressing grati tude for the wave of temperance tha has swept through the entire.

Six years ago, when he ‘came here, he had $2 in his pocket and he was out of debt sad he fele pretty well off, but what he had seen had made him dissatisfied. Sigce that time he had purchased a tract of land and had a home of his own, and now he felt entitled to speak, and so he shad come back. S. T. Porvo, a farmer of Montgomery | county said he had paid for eighty acres since last year. But he" reported that there was no school house in his community yet, and school was held tn the church. He promised that be- fore next conference he would do some- thing to get a school building. I. D. Poo, another’ fatmer from Ra- mer, who claims to own 20! acres, says that he ‘stocked one of his farm houses for a school building.” Nearly all the farmers reported that their neighbors wero-buying farms. Joe Parker, of Kowaliga, said that within a radius of five miles of his home there were thirty-three Negroes who owned their own farms, Similar reports were’ received from other “parts the State, indicating that thee is a con- stantly growing class of thrifty Negro farmers. 3 Lewis Gilbert, of Prospect, Tenn, has 150 acres, for which he has becn paying $3 San acre. J. D. McDuffie, of Ocala, Fla, is the owner of 647 acres from which he ship- ped: sixty-five carloads of canteloupes and watermelons last year. The previ- ous year he shipped one hundred and one carloads, he said.. The conference gave him ~x severe cross-examination, but he seemed to uAderstand his busi- { ness, J. N. Sanifer, of Ethelsville, Pickens county, who always comes to the con- ference with something new from his community, brought a handsome home- spun blanket this year which he said his wife had spun from wool grown on his farm. He also had a goat yoke of which he presented Washington 2 mod- | cl, | One of the most interesting incidents of the session was’a short, address by | J. H. Dillard, the general secretary of ‘| the trusttees of the Jeaness Fund, a sum of $1,000,000 which has, been given, the interest of which is to be used to aid | tke rural schools. Mr. Dillard was for- merly dean of Tulane University, New Orleans. He is a Virginian by birth, however; and has been all his life, as he said himself’ in the schools, “Dr. Washington has told you,” he | said, “about my work. It is an attempt {to improve the rural districts. There (is a new movement in education sweep- Jing over the country. It means that we must try to wed academic ulture to | work, That is true of the white people '| just as muchas it is true of the blacks. | You must get together and organize “to help carry on this work.” ‘At the canclusion of the session a series of declarations was adopted jnear- ly three thousand packets of garden | seeds sent by Secretary James Wilson }of the Department of Agriculture at Washington were distributed among the farmers, so as to encourage them to diversify their crops and raise their own food supplies; and an old-fashioned Southern barbecue for the refreshment of the delegates was served them before starting for their homes. ] The declarations urge the Negroes to own property; to improve farming fa- cilities; not to pass good business op- portunities; to tducate thei children; to keep before the Negroes high Stand- ards of morality; grafification at’ the [ protibivon movement, and a practice of the elemental virtues.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Milk remains fresh longer in a shallow basin than it would if kept in a deep jug. To clean a clothes line holl it in soapsuds containing soda, then rinse and hang it out to dry. Baking tins should be washed as clean as possible with a strong solution of soda, and then scoured with a piece of pumice stone. This will keep them in excellent condition. Combs soon split if washed. A stiff nail brush is a good thing for cleaning them. After using the brush take a damp cloth and with it wipe between each tooth of the comb. To clean knives easily take a flat cork, dip it in slightly moistened knife powder and with it rub up and down the blade till all stains are removed. Then wipe with a duster. When not in use, scrubbing brushes should be turned bristles downward. Thus the water will run out of them and the will dry, whereas if they are placed on their backs the water would soak into the wood and loosen the bristles. To clean brass excellent results may be obtained by rubbing first with a paste made of powdered bathbrick and paraffin, and then with bathbrick alone. Another plan, also very successful, is to use lemon juice and powdered chalk in the same manner as the bathbrick and paraffin. NEW FOR THE BREAKFAST. Left-Over Peas with Eggs Make Relishable Dish, When peas are left over a good breakfast dish can be made by trussing them in butter over the fire and serving them with poached eggs on top. Another appetizing way to cook eggs is to cream them. Boil 12 eggs until hard enough to cut into slices. Put around the bottom and sides of a baking dish some crusts of bread, cut thin. Put in the eggs with alternate layers of grated breadcrumbs, seasoned with pepper and salt. Into a saucepan put one-quarter of a pound of butter rubbed in one large tablespoonful of flour with some chopped parsley, a seasoning of onion, salt, pepper and one gill of cream. Stir over the fire until the ingredients begin to boil, then pour it over the eggs. Cover the top with grated bread-crumbs, place in the oven, and when the top is sufficiently browned serve at once. Uncooked Candy. Into the whites of four eggs stir as much confectioner's sugar as will make the mixture like a soft dough. This can be used as a foundation for a great many kinds of candy. Put it I with thee, or thou with me, My fisher boy you'd own... du bei mir, wir ich bei dir, du lie ber Kna be wirn, mf e'agilato. you, nor I, would sadly sigh, That we were all a-lone!... Were standst nicht dort, ich sass' nicht hier, so mut-ter-seelen-al-lein!... War. I with thee, or thou with me, My fisher boy you'd own... Nor du bei mir, und ich bei dir, du lie ber Kna be mein... du you, nor I, would sadly sigh That we were all a-lone... standst nicht dort, ich sass' nicht hier, so mut-ter-seelen-al-lein... out on a morning board and form into balls, which can be dipped into melted chocolate and made into chocolate creams. A piece put between a split date with the seed removed and the whole rolled in either pink or white granulated sugar forms another. A piece put between two half kernels of English walnut makes another. Chopped nuts mixed in the dough and then cut in squares—forms another. Putting a little red sugar in the mixture as you stir it makes a lovely pink color, which you can arrange in layers between the white and cut into squares. These are only a few of its uses. Use any flavoring extract desired, but in small drop quantities. Health Hints. For unbroken chilblains rubbing with damp salt is one of the best remedies known. Onlons are a tonic for the nerves, but people will be forever prejudiced because of their color. A few grains of coffee burned on hot coals will purify the air in a sick room and drive away any odor. Don't wear bracelets so tight that they affect the circulation or so loose that they rub on the wrist joints. A small onion eaten raw before retiring will often result in a restful sleep, as onlons are excellent nerve soothers. Baked Fish. Clean, wash and dry the fish and sprinkle the inside with salt. Cut gashes in the side two inches apart and tie fish in letter S shape. Rub with salt, pepper and melted butter and put a piece of salt pork in each gash in the side. Put in oven to bake and baste often. Add following dressing: Take cupful of cracker crumbs, two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one saltspoon salt, one of pepper, one tablespoonful of chopped pickle, one tablespoonful parsley and one tablespoonful of onion juice. Add hot water to moisten. Hot Chicken Salad One tablespoonful of butter, melt, add one tablespoonful of flour mixed with a pinch of salt, a little pepper, cayenne, and if liked celery salt, or for a change a few drops of onion juice. Use about a cup of milk to make a cream. Stir in a beaten egg, then carefully a cup of chopped chicken meat. Don't stir much after adding the meat. Veal is good instead of chicken, and lamb can be used, but cut it into little dice instead of chopping it. Serve on toast or with fried potatoes. To Remove Grease from Silk Woolens, paper, floors, etc., take French chalk, grate thickly over the spot, cover with brown paper, set on it a hot flat iron and let it remain until cool; repeat if necessary. The iron must not be so hot as to burn the paper or cloth. Common chalk may be used, but of course it is not so good. ED.

Reelpe Given Here, in Respect of Materials and Quantities, Is Intended ing Dainties. As fondant is the foundation for all the fine French candies, a good working knowledge of how to make it is essential. Molasses candy can be made on a damp day, fondant never. The materials needed are the best granulated sugar for the cream, a small quantity of confectioner's sugar to be used in the kncading, vegetable color pastes that can be purchased at any first-class confectioner's or made at home, a little cream of tartar, and then the fillings, flavorings, nuts, etc., that are to be used in connection with the fondant. For flavoring the ordinary extracts are used, also maraschino and other cordials. The formula for fondant is always the same: A pound of gracalated sugar (that is, two ordinary cupfuls), one cupful hot water, and a half tea-spoonful cream of tartar. This is the easiest quantity to handle for the amateur. After a little experience the quantity can be doubled, as fondant can be made and kept on hand. Put the ingredients into a granite saucopan with an extra heavy bottom, and stir over a slow fire until the sugar is dissolved, but not a moment longer. After it has become a clear sirup stirring will cause it to granulate. Heat rapidly to the boiling point, wiping gently away with a damp cloth any moisture that appears on the sides of the pan. If this drops back into the pan it is apt to make the sirup granulate also. If any scum arises, remove it carefully. After cooking ten minutes begin testing in cold water. If it will make a soft ball when rolled between the fingers it is just right and must be at once removed from the fire. Set aside in the pan in which it has cooked to cool. Do not try to hasten this by setting in cold water. Let it take its time. When cool, not cold, begin stirring energetically with a wooden paddle. In a few moments it will look cloudy, then whiten and grow thick and creamy. When too stiff to stir, take in the hands and knead like bread dough. There is no chance of overdoing this, for its lightness depends upon the thoroughness of the kneading. When quite light and creamy it is ready for use, though it is better to put away a day, as confectioners do, to mellow and ripen. Pack in an earthen dish and cover airtight with a slightly dampened cloth. This will keep for weeks if desired. When sufficient fondant has been prepared it is ready for the coloring. All colors, extracts and flavors must be as concentrated as possible, so as not to thin the fondant too much. If you make your own colorings green is made by cooking spinach leaves a few moments in a little water. Strain and bottle. To obtain red, boil one ounce powdered cochineal in a cup of water for five minutes, then add one ounce cream of tartar and a half ounce powdered alum and cook ten minutes longer. While hot add two ounces sugar and bottle. For pink use a few drops cochineal or a little cranberry juice, or the pink coloring that comes with some gelatines. For blue, rub indigo in a little water on a plate. Caramel or chocolate give a dark brown. The grated rind of a dark skinned orange soaked in a small quantity of its juice, then strained, gives yellow, as also the yolk of an egg. Fruit juices also furnish good colorings for fondant.

Prices in the Diamond market are advancing, but OUR PRICES HAVENT 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 Soda Crackers with Raisins and Almonds—Onion in Gravy. Dip any of the crisp soda crackers in milk, but do not permit them to become too sodden. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar and spread upon a platter, on which there is room enough to lie singly. Put in the oven, let them brown slightly, and sprinkle with minced raisins and almonds. Lay two or three together and serve with whipped cream. All white meats gain in flavor from a delicate onion admixture with the gravy. The nion is to be grated and put over the meat before it has just finished roasting and then blended by basting. In this way one avoids the burnt onion slices, which sometimes result from other methods, and which have, in a way, caused the addition of onion to be regarded with disfavor. The bits of tongue and ham which do not look well upon the table should be sayed and chopped up together for meat pies. Spinach prepared with a butter sauce is mixed with the fragments just before they are put into the chopper. A little tomato ketchup is an improvement. The thickening should be either grated bread or cracker crumbs. The usual pie crust is best, with a little niggard-liness in the matter of shortening. An old carpet dyed often looks as good as new. If, therefore you have a carpet which is badly faded, but otherwise in good repair, send it to be dyed, and if you choose a nice color you will be delighted when you get it back again. All shoes are ruined if wet too often, and poor shoes suffer most of all. If the shoes have been thoroughly wet don't try to dry them quickly. After removing them rub them with plain lard or vaseline and let them stand in a cool place until thoroughly dry, when they will have regained much of the original oil of the leather; A delicious savory can be made by pounding together the yolks of hard-bolled eggs and sardines freed from bone (equal quantities) and lemon juice and salt to taste. Fill the whites with the mixture, stand on fried croutons of bread, put a tiny bit of whipped cream on top, and serve garnished with parsley. Shave beef very fine, put into a frying pan when good and hot, season with pepper and salt just before serving. Beat two or three eggs light and stir in and you have an appetizing dish easily prepared for tea. Cold ham is also good. The Use of Mineral Waters. Unless it is known positively that the mineral water is a pure kind, use distilled water, which is always pure, although it may not be as agreeable to drink. --- A. dividual piece has been carefully that we have as fine a selection a Any article that you may select Polite attention. 5-707 ```markdown ``` Peel two or three cucumbers, cut them in quarters, remove the seeds and slice coarsely. Parboil in salted water and drain. Put in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of butter and one large sliced onion; let all cook together for half an hour. Season well with sugar, salt, pepper and celery salt. Melt in another saucepan two tablespoonfuls of butter; stir in one tablespoonful of flour; cook it without browning. add the cooked cucumber, one quart of the white stock, boll up, skim, add one pint of boiling milk. Cook slowly for 20 minutes, then rub through a fine sieve. Stir one gill of cream with two yolks of eggs well together, pour into the purée, return to heat but do not allow to boll, pour into the soup tineen and serve with croutons. Apricot Tartlets A novel way of preparing apricot tartlets is to line six tartlet molds with pastry. Fill them with dried bread crumbs and bake them. When nicely browned remove the crumbs and on the bottom of each tartlet place a good-sized teaspoonful of apple marmalade. Use a can of apricots, cut in thin slices, to fill up the tartlet shells. Top each with a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Hake 16 minutes in a moderate oven. Remove from the oven and let them become cold; then decorate the top of each with a teaspoonful of currant jelly, when they are ready to serve. A tiny circle of whipped cream around the currant jelly improves both the flavor and the appearance. Kensington Cream. One-half box of gelatin, soaked an hour in one-half pint of milk. Put a pint of milk in a double boiler with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and beaten yolks of four eggs. When boiling add gelatin and milk. Take from stove, pour in a leaspoonful of vanilla and the beaten whites of the four eggs; turn into a mold. Serve with maraschino cherries and whipped cream. Preserved cherries and berries may be used instead. Stag Parties. In planning, a stag party for husband, brother or son remember that men prefer plain, substantial food rather than fancy salads, ice and cakes. A beefsteak supper is always appropriate, or, if the supper is to be given after cards or the theater, creamed oysters on toast, club sandwiches, Scotch woodcock or any of the simpler dishes is more acceptable to the masculine palate than the usual supper party menu. To Remove Grease. One often spoils a painted wall back of a gas stove range trying to keep the grease off of it. If this is used you require no soap or heat. Take the cheapest vinegar you can find and with a large sponge you can remove grease, smoke and any dirt off of walls and woodwork, and make it look like new with a little labor.

A housekeeper with small children found the closet room in her house very limited, and invented the following device: A piece of smooth wire, small enough to go through the hole in the top of a safety pin, was fastened to the first hook in the closet. Then she slipped on to this a number of large safety pins. The wire was passed through or over each hook, with a number of pins between, and fastened to the last hook, being drawn as taut as possible. In hanging garments up, slip one or two pins through the band, as may be required. In this way a great many dresses may be hung side by side in a small space, and an article can be hung up or taken down without disturbing the others. This kind of clothesline will prove of great value in a summer hotel, cottage, or hall bedroom. It can be made to hold one's entire wardrobe, except the nicest things, and each garment can be seen without wasting time in searching fo, it. Scalloped Corned Beef Two cups of milk, one slice onion, one-half cup chopped celery, three level tablespoons butter, three level tablespoons flour, one fourth level teaspoon salt, one-eighth level teaspoon pepper, two cups corned beef cut into cubes. Scald the milk with the onion and celery. Cook for ten minutes, then strain. Melt the butter, add the flour, salt and pepper, and when blended stir in the hot milk gradually. Cook for five minutes, then add the corned beef. Pour into a buttered baking dish and cover with buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven. Potato Scones. Sift a cupful and a half of flour with a half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and rub in three tablespoonfuls of shortening. Add one cupful of light freshly mashed potatoes, add one well-beaten egg and enough milk to make a soft dough. Roll out half inch thick. cut and bake on a hot griddle or in a hot oven. Serve very hot with plenty of butter. Citron Preserves. Pare, weigh and scald with a piece of alum, the size of a walnut, in water, one large citron. Boll until sufficiently tender to pierce with a straw, slice and remove the seeds. Add its weight in sugar and allow to stand thus over night. Boll half an hour with a pinch of mace and two lemons sliced. Bottle while hot. Apple Pancakes. Mix one pint of sour milk, one teaspoonful of saleratus, one cupful of Indian meal, one cupful of molasses, three sweet apples cut fine and sufficient flour to thicken.

Coored Citizens Honor the Memory of A number of representative colored men met Tuesday evening, February 25, at the residence of Mr. Daniel Murray, 934 S street northwest. For the purpose of commenting upon the life and labors of Mr. Crosby S. Noyes and expressing their appreciation of his great services to humanity and the cause of justice. Dr. W. Bruce Evans was chosen chairman of the meeting, Mr. William H. Davis secretary, and each of the gentlemen present paid glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Noyes as a fair-minded journalist, a conspicuous champion of civic virtue, and a citizen deservedly respected for his business integrity and exalted Christian character. Among those present were the following: Mr. R. R. Horner, a local attorney and a member of the Board of Eudcation; Mr. Daniel Murray, assistant Librarian of Congress; Mr. A. C. Newman, Mr. Eugene Brooks, Mr. Ormund W. Scott, Mr. L. Melendez King, Lieut. Thomas H. R Clarke, Prof. M. Grant Lucas, Dr. William H. Davis, Mr. F. D. Lee, Dr. W. Bruce Evans, Major Arthur Brooks, Mr. F. W. Brooks, Mr. Albertus Brown, W. Sidney Pittman, architect, and others. Appropriate resolutions were adopted and ordered engrossed, the same to be presented to the bereaved family, together with a suitable floral token, and Messrs. R. R. Horner and Daniel Murray were selected as a committee to at- tend the funeral services. In opening the meeting Chairman Evans called attention to many useful lessons which might be gleaned from the long and useful career which had recently closed in the death of the man and editor, Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, and referred particularly to the great interest which he manifested in all things that pertained to the development of Washington city, and to the invaluable services rendered by him toward the business, moral and educational improvement of the Nation's Capital. Mr. R. R. Horner said in part: "In view of the facts that the Evening Star, so long and ably edited by Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, has always been fair and impartial in its treatment of questions affecting our race, and mindful of the sterling character possessed by him whose memory we honor tonight, I think it highly fitting that we should assemble, even though it be in this informal way, and express, our deep appreciation of the Christian gentleman, the fair-minded editor, and the public-spirited citizen who has passed away, yet whose high ideals will long live in the hearts of his countrymen." Mr. A. Ormund Scott commended the high quality of journalism as practiced by Editor Noyes, and especially the conservative tone of his editorials on matters affecting the race question. Mr. Dugene Brooks followed by saying that "we do not praise Editor Noyes for being a friend to the Negro, but we do commend him for his fairness, for the spirit of justice which he showed. As a race we have nothing to fear if we are only shown up in our true light, being freely criticised where we deserve it, and equally commended where we spirit it." Prof. M. Grant Lucas, principal of one of the local schools, testified to the deep interest manifested by Mr. Crosby S. Noyes in the educational affairs of the District and his ever readiness as a newspaper man to give publicity to those things which vitally concerned educational interests. Lieut. Thomas H. R. Clarke said in part: "While we cannot tell, in the case of a paper owned by a corporation, just how far the mind and personality of the editor dominates and controls the policy of its editorial columns, yet we have abundant evidence to coivince us that Editor Crosby S. Noyes was a fearless though conservative writer, a friend of justice and fair play, and a man whose personality and public spirit were helpful and inspiring to all citizens without regard to color." Mr. Daniel Murray, who freely tendered his residence as a place for the meeting, also paid glowing tribute to the deceased. Don't forget Monday night at Odd Fellows' Hall, Georgetown. Among the speakers will be Hopewell H. Darneille- Esq., Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Editor James E. McGirt of Philadelphia, also a poet, and W. Calvin Chase.
