VOL. 27.N041 OPEN LETTER To the District Republicans: I am a candidate for delegate. I am for Snator J. B. Foraker against the field. I have nothing to hide, and neither do I equivocate. Quite often in the daily press you will notice that certain men will not run on my ticket. It is easier for them to unload themselves than it is for me to unload them. I have burdens of my own without carrying other people's burdens. I am in the field to stay; either to rise or go down with the man who has defended the rights and liberties of ostracised citizens. I want to inform you that the field is full of traitors or candidates who are sailing under false colors. They are wearing the armor of Taft, but it is covered with the coat of Foraker. The Flathers ticket is the creation of the lily white Democrats in Riggs Bank, otherwise known as the silk stocking Democrats, who don't believe in equality of citizenship. The Flahers ticket means that colored Americans in this city have no rights that lily whites are bound to respect. A vote for this ticket means the continued enslavement of colored Americans in this city. When has Mr. Flathers ever participated in Republican meetings? Who ever heard of him being a Republican? This being a fact, his associates and companions must be judged accordingly. The Wilder ticket, or otherwise, Dr. Wilder, is under the wing of Capers, Inetrnal Revenue Collector, Treasury Department. That means Taft, and not Foraker. There is another ticket has made every effort to reach Mr. Hitchcock, to which certain candidates refused to subscribe. It is not necessary for me to name them, but "he who runs may read." My ticket will be complete in a few days, and at the proper time it will be launched in no uncertain sound. There is no uncertainty in the Home Rule ticket. When you vote for this ticket you vote for manhood rights. You uphold those fundamental principles that all true Americans enjoy. The sycophant, the knave and the coward are everywhere. I want to say that my opposers are the blacklegs, the gamblers, cut-throats and three-card-monte men who have no reputation save among cut-throats. I am an American citizen who wears no man's collar. I believe in the Constitution of the United States when that instrument protects those whose blood flowed so freely in the wars of the late rebellion and those men who went up San Juan Hill and saved the honor and reputation of this republic. I am opposed to any man for the presidency who has endeavored to disgrace colored Americans and has endeavored to make one portion of this American nation freemen and the other portion slaves. I appeal to all true citizens who believe in manhood rights to see that their votes are honestly registered and counted. I want to say further to all Republicans that the time has come for suffrage in the District of Columbia. If there is any honesty in colored Americans that will not forget their obligation and their duty to the man who has made sacrifices to uphold colored American manhood. The emoluments of office should not be a bribe to cause colored Republicans to forget their honor, their reputation, and their duty. If the Negro is bribed in this contest he should never look for another friend, and what little honor he now has will go from him forever. Let every Republican be on the lookout, and in this contest let posterity applaud their deeds. DR. SHEPARD IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE Speaks to a Large Audience Friday Night on the Sunday School as the Greatest Means for the Uplift of the Race—Speaks in Atlanta Next Tuesday. In his speech which is being extensively quoted Dr. Shepard states that the only thing that will solve the race problem is religious education. The Golden Rule is the panacea for evils. There are some who believe that the higher education will solve it and lift the race higher, while others believe that industrial education is the great solver. It will never do it. Industrial education alone makes man a simple beast of burden, robs him of the power to thing and reason. The man who is industrially trained alone has done little to lift the race. The speaker said he could not recall a single example. The rallying cry should be change the man and then the environments will be changed by the man. So the leader DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. who advocates just a single idea for the uplift of the people hinders instead of helps. In speaking of temperance Dr. Shepard said that colored Americans should follow it strictly if they hope to be looked upon as good citizens. No people ever becomes great by frequent use of intoxicants. The head should be clear, declared this young orator. Therte is no man in the United States who is more serviceable to colored Americans than Dr. Shepard. He is a young man of ability and perseverance who si doing as much to elevate his people as any man in this country. He is honest, which is hisatest forte. He loves his people and they have confidence in him. The South applauds his work nd in Durham, N. C., his home, no man stands higher in the estimation of his fellow citizens. His Sunday School work among his people is very effective. His methods are en- ```markdown ``` tirely new; different from all others that the representative colored Americans adopt. AGAINST TAFT Lake Charles, La., February 22, '08. Editor of The Bee: Will you allow me space in your most valuable paper to say a few words to my colored race of people of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, and the Congressional District which Congressman Burton of Ohio represents? I see by the Houston Daily Chronicle of the 18th of February, 1908, that Congressman Burton has been nominated as a Republican from his district by the Taft forces. Will it be in keeping with the Foraker forces to vote the Burton ticket? I think not. Because the Burton forces have done everything in their power to drive Senator Foraker from public life through Mr. Roosevelt's advice. How can the colored people of Ohio and the people of this country stand by a man like Burton or Taft? Respectfully, R. C. Clayton, 730 Clarence St., Lake Charles, La. Hon. Henry Cox, former member of the Legislature of the State of Virginia, has recovered from his attack of la grippe. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MARCH 7, 1908. What I Saw And He I am not surprised to know that there are colored men in this city who have doubts about the nomination of Senator J. B. Foraker. When he took up the cause of the black man he never entertained any doubt. He saw that the black man was oppressed, hence he had no apologies to make. I shall be glad to see more gratitude in the colored American. He has too many doubts for his own good. The coming contest for the election of delegates to the National Republican Convention is more amusing than it is serious. There are several dozen candidates who declare that they have a right to be elected. Just what claim they have on the people will no doubt be developed later on. Mr. Sidney Bieber is laboring harder [Image of a man with dark hair and a white shirt]. now than he has ever in his life. One woulld imagine that the entire earth was upon his shoulders. Well, after he has announced his rules and regulations they will look like mountains to some and a mole to others. Before the end of the contest there will be another smash-up in tickets. The Horner-Flathers ticket will receive a jolt next if it has not already. There is no more show for this ticket to be elected than it is for a jaybird to pass through the eye of a needle. There will be a contest at the Chicago Convention beyond all doubts. The Dolliver bill is like "Banquo's ghost"—it will not down. It will die a natural death and the people will cremate it and mourn over its ashes. There is a certain Negro supervising principal at his old tricks again. I am of the opinion that the Superintendent will be compelled to teach him a lesson so that he will be able to understand good citizenship and common decency. Take some colored people and give them a little authority, then they lose their head. A common, poor white man is precisely like some elevated colored men. There are a few candidates in the field for members of the Board of Education. I believe that the judges will be more careful the next time. Rounder. In an address delivered May 30, 1905, at Arlington, Va., Memorial Day, Hon. J. B. Foraker never had in mind that he woud be compelled to defend the colored soldiers, said in concluding his address these words: Race Problem. But that has been finally dealt with, so far as national legislation is concerned. Time, patience, patriotism and the education of experience may be necessary to practically, and in reality, to secure to the black man, everywhere, all his legal rights and privileges; but his mental and moral growth give the highest assurance that he will eventually vindicate the statesmanship that made him a freeman and a citizen of the republic; while his loyalty and heroism as shown in every war in which we have allowed him to participate will win for ```markdown ``` him a triumph over all the prejudices that stand between him and the door of hope. In this cemetery lie hundreds of his race who gallantly wore the uniform, as thousands are gallantly wearing it today, but nowhere in all this broad land can a single one be found, among either the living or the dead, who ever raised his hand against our flag. It is not possible that in this country where there is such generous recognition of human rights such a race can fail to achieve success. No man can do, or is doing, so much to accomplish this as the black man himself. Education, industry and frugality, with his other good qualities, will more and more command respect and secure advancement. His progress since Emancipation has been phenomenal, and under all the circumstances he may well take courage for the future; while every comrade of the Union Army may be assured that what he did for that people was not done in vain. We have other questions, and many of them, and always will have, for we are an active, energetic, progressive people, cevr pressing forward to the accomplishment of some great purpose; but whether they are the labor questions, the trust questions, the control of corporations, the regulation of the rail- roads, the maintenance or the revision of our industrial policies, or something else, our differences with respect to them are not likely to be affected. by State lines, and probably not seriously by party lines, as we have heretofe known them, for the indications are that as to all these subjects a strong spirit of Americanism will determine what shall be done. This is the most hopeful sign of the day. Where genuine Americanism prevails there cannot be danger of any very widespread of populism, communism, anarchism, or any other heresy that would undermine and overthrow our institutions. Coupled with the saving common sense of the American people, which has never yet failed us, this national spirit is at once our greatest shield from harm and our greatest incentive to the highest and noblest endeavor. It is no exaggeration, but only the sober truth, to say that we were never so strong, never so prosperous, never so contented, never so respected, neve so powerful to do good in the world, and never doing so much good, either at home or abroad, as we are today And great as is the present, greater by far, exceeding all power of description, iss the career that lies before us. It will be seen that he was right on the race question then; he is now. It is nothing new for Senator Foraker to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." FOR LARGE STATE COMMITTEES The fundamental idea must be to have the State committee large, and not a small knot of selfish persons. The administration, of course, can protect itself absolutely as to the qualifications of the persons recommended for office. If they are not good men they will be rejected and the State committee must recommend others. The plan above stated is not novel. It should always have existed in principle and practice, but the tendency nowadays in the Republican party is to concentrate power in very few hands. This tendency works toward the destruction of the party in State and nation. It is time to revert to first principles. There are undoubtedly enough good and honest and true Republicans to hold all the offices of any note in the Southern States, but the present system does not bring them to the front, but does bring forth the neutrals, pretenders, and Democrats. As things are going on, there will be more than one delegation to the next National Convention from nearly every Southern State. This lamentable result, which, while it will not change any nomination in that convention, will tend to defeat the nominees at the polls, should be avoided by the simplest and fairest possible method, which is above suggested. As the project for disestablishing Republican organization in the Southern States progressed along lines of party policy, exactly, contrary to those whoch I believed to be wise, it soon became apparent that even an easier method than Mr. Hanna's of controlling the delegates from the South to the National Convention had been created. As the party in each State would have practically no organization whatever, two or three referees or advisers in each State, together with the oeffeholders, could represent themselves to be the Republican party and control all Southern delegates to national conventions. DR. WILLIAM TINDALL Dr. William Tindall, secretary to the Board of District Commissioners, has compiled a very valuable pamphlet concerning "Methods of Municipal Taxation and Assessment in the District of Columbia, Completed to and Including the Fifty-ninth Congress." Dr. Tindall is one of the most energetic officials under the local government, and a man of broad experience. The Bee congratulates Dr. Tindall for this valuable pamphlet, which will no doubt be of benefit to the people. The cry is "Negro domination!" and that is not true. But it will take God to tell the real cause. Have some respect for the devil because he does not draw the color line. (Extract from a speech by Bishop H. M. Turner). Good boy! D. G. M. W. H. Underwood has been presented with a fine jewel of his office by James H. Hill Lodge of Masons, by Grand Chaplain Rev. Shelton Miller. Past Masters J. W. King and A. P.

CELEBRATES 85TH BIRTHDAY : NEAR AKRON, O. Only Surviving Child of Famous Abolitionist Still in Vigorous Health—Fought with Father at Battle of Osawatomie. Akron, O.—Jason Brown celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday at his home, four miles west of this city, the other day. He is the only surviving son of the famous John Brown who started the civil war in Kansas nearly a decade before Fort Sumter was fired upon, who led "free soldiers" at Osawatomie, and who was hanged for his raid on Harper's Ferry a few years later. Jason Brown was with his father in the Kansas warfare, and he carried arms at Osawatomie. He believed in his father and had faith in the cause of freedom. The hanging of his father and the slaughter of his brothers and other relatives made him something of a recluse and a wanderer until a few years ago, when advancing age caused him to settle down. He took up his residence here on the farm conducted by his son. The birthplace of Jason Brown was in Hudson village, this county, not more than 15 miles distant from the place on which he now makes his home. He was the eldest of 20 children. His father, John Brown, descended from Puritan stock, was a stern man, and succeeded in instilling into the members of his family faith in himself and enthusiasm in behalf of the cause to which he felt bound by divine appointment. After a varied experience in the vicinity of Akron and later in New York, where John Brown undertook the supervision of a colony of liberated slaves, the Browns were attracted to Kansas. There a vast territory had just been opened up to settlement, and there was fierce rivalry among the settlers as to whether it should be considered as a slave-holding territory or free country. In part it was the controversy that drew them, and then, in addition, there was the hope that they might prosper in the new country. So John Brown, with JASON BROWN his numereas sons and sons-in-laws and their families, removed to Kansas in the early '50s and settled near Osawatomie. Ardent abolitionists and making no concealment of their principles, they were soon singled out by proslavery neighbors for abuse and persecution. Their crops were destroyed. Their building were burned, A son, Frederick, was murdered on the public high way, and another member of the family was driven hopelessly insane by cruel treatment while a prisoner in the hands of their enemies. Finally, one night in May, 1856, John Brown led a little band of free soldiers against the settlement of Osawatomie. If his band were several of his children and other relatives. This night attack became known as the massacre of Osawatomie. Jason Brown was not in the first fight, but he bore arms under his father at the battle of Osawatomie, which came as a sequel, in August of the same year. And he remembers that he killed his man. After Osawatomie, John Brown and his family returned east. The father was determined to prepare for his later raid on Harper's Ferry, which he was convinced would mean an uprising that would set all the slaves free Jason did not join him, however. He had had enough of war. The fact that his life was saved by a Kentuckian, when he had been captured and was about to be hanged, had a softening effect on the heart of Jason Brown. He no longer hated the south. Jason Brown is still vigorous. A short time ago he made a trip to Putin-Bay to visit the aged widow of his brother John, Jr. In the summer time he bushes himself about the farm, hoes in the garden or takes long walks down the winding country roads. His dog, Wolf, was his companion for years, but Wolf died recently and the old man now has to walk alone. At Jason Brown's home are many relics of the early days in Kansas and at Harper's Ferry. Among them all the thing he prizes most highly is an old iron wash basin made by his father many years ago at Meadville, Pa. Not only did his father make it with his own hands, but the old basin made the trip to Kansas and was in the battle of Osawatomie, where water carried in it was used to bathe the wounds of the injured. It has been through three fires, and is badly cracked and disfigured, but that makes it only the more valuable in the eyes of its owner. If you are going to have oranges cut up with other fruit, try this way of fixing them and see if it is not an improvement over the old way of peeling the orange and cutting it up as best you can with skin and sometimes seeds in it. Cut the orange in half, take a sharp knife and cut around each section, then flip the pulp out of its quarter. Squeeze the skin, see all the juice you have, and how nicely the orange looks in comparison to the old way. Use a rich biscuit crust for your apple turnovers; the filling should be cooked down until very thick. Roll out the dough, cut in circles about the size of a coffee saucer, put on each a large spoonful of the sauce, wet the edges of the crust, fold over and pinch well together, that none of the sauce may ooze out. These may be either fried in deep fat or baked in a quick oven; if the latter method is chosen, try sprinkling them quickly with a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar. These delicacies are made by pouring on the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs a generous half pint of scalding hot cream, and without beating, stir in a heaping tablespoonful of powdered sugar, and a few drops of orange juice. To beat the mixture after the eggs are added would destroy the delicious consistency of the custards. Pour at once into ornamental little souffle dishes and bake, standing in a pan of hot water, in a moderate oven until the custards are firm. Serve in the dishes at about blood heat on a pretty saucer resting on a lace paper dolly, accompanied by small squares of sunshine cake. CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS. Simple Directions That Are Worth Heeding and Remembering. Be careful not to overwater them. To find out if they need water rap the side of the pot with your knuckles. If it rings clear and sharp the plant needs watering. If there is a dull sound the soil is already moist enough. Let the soil get fairly dry before wetting it again. Plants thrive much better if not permanently kept in jardinieres. The average living room is too hot and dry for growing things. They are best kept in a cool room and moved to hot rooms only for temporary decoration. The extremes of day and night in a window sill are too much for most plants. Carry them into the middle of the room at night. Keep a pan of water in the room where they are kept; give them plant food; spray them free from dust, and keep a sharp lookout for pests. In ventilating the room see that the current of cold air does not strike them directly; and remember that gas fumes are deadly to them. Hollandaise Sauce. This is really a warm mayonnaise, using butter instead of olive oil. It is the best sauce for serving with salmon or other boiled fish if you desire it hot. It requires a quarter pound butter, half a lemon, the yolks of two eggs, a little salt and a half teaspoonful of white pepper. The secret of its successful making is to preserve an even temperature. The sauce should not approach the boiling point, as the eggs would cook and the sauce curdle. Put the eggs in a small saucepan and add the butter gradually, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. It will soon thicken like a mayonnaise. When the butter is all in, add salt and pepper, and lastly the lemon juice, stirring until well mixed. If the sauce becomes too thick add a little stock or hot water. Surround the fish with parsley and slices of lemon and serve the sauce in a bowl. A few sliced cucumbers should be served with fish. Banana Betty. Remove the crust from part of a loaf of stale bread. Slice it as thin as possible. Place the slices in a dripping pan and brown very delicately in the oven, then spread with soft butter. Butter a baking dish and sprinkle it with buttered bread crumbs. Add a layer of the toast, then a layer of bananas, peeled, scraped and cut in quarters lengthwise. Sprinkle with sugar, a bit of cinnamon and a few drops of lemon juice, and dot with butter. Repeat; add a cup of boiling water, cover with buttered crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until the banana is tender. Cover until nearly done, then remove cover and brown. Serve with a lemon sauce. Celery Soup with Peas One quart celery '(use for this outside stalks and root ends), one small onion, boiling water, four level tablespoons butter, three level tablespoons flour, one plint hot milk, one plint veal or chicken broth, one cup peas, salt and pepper to taste. Cover the celery and onion with boiling water and cook slowly for two hours. Strain, pressing through all possible. Melt the butter, add the flour, and when blended add the hot milk gradually, then the broth. Stir until thick and smooth and cook for five minutes. Add the celery liquid and peas. Reheat, season, and serve at once. Puree of Spinach. Look over one peck of spinach and wash thoroughly. Let stand in cold water for an hour, then drain and cook until tender. Drain well and chop very fine. Season with salt, pepper and butter. Arrange on a hot platter and lay the tongue on top. Garnish with hard-boiled egg. GIVING FINISH TO TOWELS. May Be Scalloped and Worked with Solid Buttonhole Stitch. The ends of the towels may be scalloped and worked with solid buttonhole stitch. There may be a design in eyelet and French embroidery above the scallop on one end and the scallop with the initials on the other end. Letters from four to six inches high can be used on the towels. They should be padded. First, take short running stitches, just inside the stamped outlines, fill the space between the running stitches with a layer of outline stitches set close and even; into this layer, of outline stitches work another layer, taking the stitches of the second layer into the stitches of the first layer and not into the material. Work a third layer into the stitches of the second layer in the same manner. Work across this padding close satin stitch, setting the needle for the satin stitch on the stamped outlines of the letter; these outlines should never be covered with the padding stitches. SAVE THE BREAD CRUSTS. Dried and Run Through Meat Chopper They Will Be Found Useful. Take the bread crusts and place in a pan in the oven, dry them thoroughly and run through the meat chopper. After they are finely ground sieve as you would ordipary meal and put into jars for future use. What a neat shelf a woman can have in the pantry with jar foods! First there are the bread crumbs, the jar of navy beans, lima beans, dried corn, spices, crumbled parsley, which has been dried and crushed, sage, homlny, etc. A large gallon crock is splendid for holding salt, another for sugar, and by buying large quantities of sugar one gets more for the money. The pantry should be the pride of the kitchen and all neatly arranged. Nothing makes a better bread bin than a large hard can or a large stone jar. The latter will prevent bread or cakes from freezing in a cold room if they are wrapped in a tablecloth and carefully covered. KEEP THE FLOOR POLISHED. Simple Method That Takes Place of Continual Work. Hard wood floors are beginning to look a little the worse for the winter's wear. It's always a problem to keep them looking well without a continual polishing performance, summer or winter. A treatment which has stood the test of experience is this: First wash the floor well and let it dry. Then go over it with a cloth dipped from time to time in kerosene oil, which both cleanses and penetrates the floor so that less of the boiled oil is required. The boiled oil finish should then be prepared. To make this, take two quarts of boiled linenseed oil, put beeswax the size of half an egg and boll together until melted and thoroughly mixed. Care should be taken in doing this, as both materials are inflammable. While the oil is still warm apply with a wide paint brush. It is much easier than keeping up a wax polish. Raisin and Coffee Bread. Add to one cup scalded milk one-third cupful shortening, a cupful sugar and a half teaspoonful salt. Cool to lukewarm, then beat in a yeast cake dissolved in a quarter cup lukewarm milk and enough sifted flour to make a stiff batter. Cover and place where it will keep warm over night. In the morning blend a beaten egg with the dough, add one-half cupful seeded raisins and roll out the mixture in a sheet three-quarters of an inch in thickness. Put in a buttered dripping pan or a deep pie-plate, having in its center a muffin ring or piece of stiff paper pinned together to make a ring. Cover and let rise until it doubles its original bulk. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon and bake in a moderate oven about half an hour. Eat hot with coffee. Koumiss. Dissolve a third of a yeast cake in a gill of warm milk and add two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar. Have ready scalded a beer bottle with a patent fastener or if you have not this use an ordinary bottle and cork, soaking the cork well for some hours and wiring it on the bottle. Fill the bottle three-quarters full of fresh, blood-warm milk, or fresh milk heated to blood warmth, and pour in the yeast mixture. Shake hard for several minutes, then put in the cork and fasten it down securely. Set in a warm place until the contents are working and foamy, then lay in the ice chest until wanted. One yeast cake makes three bottles of koumls, so it is well to make several bottles at one time. Protect Clothes. To prevent the universally liked Gretchen apron from becoming solled and wet so quickly by coming in contact with sink and washboard, stitch a casing on wrong side at waist line, insert tape, draw snugly and tie. Tack tape securely in center of front to keep it from slipping out when untied. Stuffed Chicken Baked with Ham. THE COMING ELECTION. How the District Will Be Divided.

Hickory Nut Soumie Grate one and one-half cupfuls of stale cake (the sponge variety is excellent for this purpose) and pour in slowly, stirring, constantly, a small cupful of scalding cream, a pinch of salt, the well-beaten yolks of four eggs and a teaspoonful of orange juice; cook over water until well thickened, stirring constantly. Let the souffle stand until quite cold and then fold in the stiffly whipped whites of the eggs and half a pound of chopped and shelled hickory nuts. Turn at once into a deep souffle dish and bake in a rather quick oven for 25 minutes, serving immediately, accompanied by a hot maple syrup sauce. White Grape Salad. One pound of white grapes, two eggs, two cups of wine, one dessertapoon powdered sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, pinch of mustard. Stew and skin the grapes, halve them and remove the seeds. Then set on ice Beat the eggs very light and add slowly the wine. Cook in double boiler till thick, stirring constantly. Remove from fire and add powdered sugar, salt and mustard. Set immediately in a cool place. Serve the grapes on lettuce leaves, with the dressing added at the last moment. Corn Chowder.

His Daring and Exciting Escape from Siberian Military Prison with Several Companions—Now in United States. Fort Dodge, Ia.—There arrived in Fort Dodge a few days ago a Russian refugee named Maurice Balanovsky, after perhaps as daring and exciting escape from a Siberian military prison as ever fell to the lot of mortal man, after having spent three years of his life as a convict. Balanovsky was born in Odessa, his father being a wealthy merchant of the city. He was given every advantage and was highly educated in his own language. Three years ago in September his father invited a number of his countrymen to spend the day with him. They feasted until afternoon, when like vultures the Cossacks swept down upon them and in the yard of the Balanovsky home 60 of the party lay butchered, for no other reason than they were Jewish by birth. Among the slain was the father of young Balanovsky, and kneeling by his bruised and mangled body he swore a terrible oath of vengeance. For this, and the additional reason he was a social democrat, he was cast into prison. His mother and two young brothers escaped to Bremen and later were given assistance by relatives in Fort Dodge and were able to reach here. Their property was confiscated by the czar. After several weeks in a prison at Odessa young Balanovsky was called into court, and although he plead his own case and was praised for his oratory before the magistrate, he was sentenced to a life of servitude in a military prison in Siberia. Soon the weary march began, but his heart never failed him. His one hope was for a chance to escape and to come to America, there to join his mother and J. B. MAURICE BALANOVSKY. brothers and to tell of the terrible sufferings of the people in these prisons. Being a skilled mechanic he was given liberties after a time in the prison, and although compelled to report daily to the police department, managed to arrange for the escape of 17 of his friends, two of whom were girls. Plans were laid for their escape and finally the little party made a dash for freedom, nine of them gave up their lives in the first ten miles, but Balanovsky and seven others managed to make their way to freedom after more than three months of wandering by night and hiding by day. Sometimes for several days they were compelled to subsist on roots and herbs, and although they passed within sight of the towers and spires of Odessa, they dared not visit their friends. Neither were the Jewish people with whom they came in contact able to assist them in any way out of the country, for fear of the harm which would befall them should it become known to the secret police of the empire. Finally they crossed the frontier and were able to send word to friends and relatives in this country. Money was immediately forwarded and about one month ago the party landed in Boston. Soon after landing the two girls of the party were united in marriage to two of the male members of the party, while Balanovsky came directly to this city to the home of his cousin, Joe Steinberg. The terrible experience he underwent told on him physically and from a rugged youth of 17 when imprisoned he is now terrible amabilized from the torture of the past three years, as well as his experience in making his escape. Several times, he says, they were attacked in their way across country and were compelled to take human life to preserve their own, and his own body shows the marks left by bullets. In this city for the first time since the evening his father and 60 of his countrymen were murdered in their yard at Odessa, he had the pleasure of meeting his mother, and will at once set to work to retrieve their lost fortune and monthly—as do many of his countrymen—send back a small part of his earnings to friends and relatives that they, too, in time, may enjoy the blessings of liberty in the United States. ```markdown ``` Many Cabinet Dinners Held in Old Ship Tavern in London. London.—The Ship tavern, one of the most famous of London's riverside inns, in Greenwich, has closed its doors after an existence extending back to the days of the great English statesman, William Pitt, who denounced the war against the American colonies and after whom was named Fort Pitt, from which the city of Pittsburg takes its name. It was at the Ship tavern that Pitt instituted the dinners during his time of 16 years as a member of the ministry. In the days when Greenwich was a fashionable riverside resort the Shito SHIP TURTLE TAVERN PAINTER INKSMITH Famous Ship-Tavern of London. tavern became known all over the world. It was while William Pitt was leader of the ministry 120 years ago that he introduced the custom of the yearly gathering together at the close of the parliamentary session the cabinet ministers, the judges of the higher courts and the members of the government to partake of a banquet at the Ship tavern, Greenwich, known as the ministerial white-balt dinner Its feature was the white balt, a small fish not much more than an inch in length, for which Greenwich is famous, which is considered a great delicacy. It is eaten with cayenne pepper, lemon juice and brown bread and butter. the custom of the ministerial white-belt dinner at the Ship tavern was continued regularly from the time it was instituted by Pitt until 1880. After that time the custom was not observed regularly and ten years ago it fell into entire disuse. IS IDOLIZED BY WORKMEN. New Yorker Gives Free Rent When He Cuts Wages. New York.—Herman A. Metz, city comptroller of New York, who owns the Ettrick mills, situated in a New England village, has set a precedent that has made him the idol of 500 employees. A few days ago the painful duty devolved on him of notifying his 500 employees that it would be possible to operate the mills only three days a week. The gloomy countenances of the workers indicated what the order meant to them. Then Metz added Z. M. HERMAN-A-NETZ that the employees who live in his houses would need to pay no rent until they were, working full time again. A cheer that could be heard throughout the town was his reward. Asked to explain his action, Comptroller Metz said: "I felt that my employees could not earn enough in these three days to enable them to live with any comfort, and it is only just that I should aid them until work starts in full force. "To begin with, factory employees are ill paid, and for that reason are rarely prepared to meet adverse conditions. In my opinion they are the class of people most deserving of help and encouragement. "The rents I am giving to them amount to something like $2,000 a month, but I know the cause is a worthy one, and wish that more could be done to help this class of people." Wanted Hla Money Back. Parker—That's so. Since I borrowed five dollars from him he can see me half a mile away. LUNCHEON DAINTIES SIMPLE MENU AT COMMAND OF EVERY HOSTESS. Over-Elaboration Always Something to Be Avoided-Easily Prepared Dishes Will Be Found to Give Best Satisfaction. The luncheon meal must be regulated not only by the purse of the hostess, but by the amount of help she can command. It is foolish for the woman who has but one maid, or who calls in a convenient neighborhood "helper" to give an elaborate course luncheon. It is far better to choose dishes which can be partially prepared by the hostess before she dresses to receive her guests, whom she faces, happy in the thought that her single assistant can put on the few finishing touches. Here is a menu which will not try the abilities of the average cook, and whose items will be found in the average market: Grapes fruit Bouillon Olives. Scallops. Newburgh. Celery. Crown of lamb Savory potatoes Green and gold salad with cream cheese sandwiches. Bavarian cream Sponge cakes. Coffee To properly prepare grape fruit it should be placed on the ice or in some very cold place for at least 24 hours before eating. Cut it through the center with a sharp pointed knife. Run the knife around the edges next to the skin, loosening the fruit from the outer skin. Remove all pits and, with the same sharp knife, cut out the core of the fruit, so that nothing remains but the luscious pulp. Cover with powdered sugar and set on ice for another half hour. It is then ready to serve. The addition of a tablespoon of rum and three marschino cherries is very tasty if you do not disapprove of liquors. Crown of Lamb—The success of this dish depends largely upon the butcher. You need two racks of young lamb chops. They should be cut and "Frenched," but not entirely separated. These two racks should be tied together with the bogs toward the inside, forming a perfect circle. Put in baking pan and roast from 35 to 45 minutes, according to the heat of your oven, basting the meat frequently. This should be served on a large platter and the inside of the "crown" should be filled with two cans of French peas that have been heated with a tablespoon of butter. Garnish the outside of the crown with Saratoga potatoes and parsley. If your guests are not many and you have an exceedingly large platter, you can serve this entire course on the platter. Bavarian Cream—Take the yolks of six eggs and beat them well in a deep bowl. Add three ounces of grated chocolate, quarter of a pound of sugar and one pint of rich cream. Put these ingredients in a double boiler and stir one way only until it thickens. Do not let it boll or it will be sure to curdle. Strain this into a bowl. Take another pint of cream and beat until thick and stir into it an ounce and a half of dissolved gelatin. Mix this with the chocolate cream, lightly, and pour into a mold which has been rinsed with ice-cold water. Put on ice to harden. This is a delicious dessert. Scallops Newburgh.—Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a porcelain-lined saucepan, add to it half a cup of sherry wine and one quart of scallops which have been washed and drained dry in a colander. Cook these for ten minutes. Beat the yolks of three eggs thoroughly and add to them one tablespoon of cream. Add to the scallops already cooking a cupful of cream, pepper and salt and let it come to a boll, then stir in the yolks of the eggs and serve immediately. Green and Gold Salad.—Select the heart of a crisp head of lettuce and put two small pieces on each plate. Over this lay several very thin slices of oranges and a few cubes of pineapples. Serve with French dressing. To Remove Stains. Most stains will yield to simple treatments. If they do not, soak them in javelie water, then rinse. Javelie water is the most effective of all cleaning fluids, and is cheap—a gallon costs only a few cents. Dissolve one pound of sal-soda in a quart of hot water, and add it to the clear liquid left after dissolving half a pound of chloride of lime in two quarts of water. This must be tightly corked and kept in a dark place. Never use it on anything but white clothes, for it will take out color from a fabric. To whiten clothing, put two or three tablespoonfuls of the liquid into the water in which the garments are to be boiled. Inexpensive Pudding. One-half cup shortening, one cup molasses, one cup cold water, two and one-half cups flour, one level teaspoon soda, one-half level teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves, one-fourth level teaspoon mace, one cup raspins, seeded, and cut in two Melt the shortening, but do not heat it; add the molasses and the water; then the flour sifted with the soda and spices. Add the raisins, beat well, and turn into a mold or one pound baking powder cans, and steam for three hours. Serve with hot sauce or hard sauce. Prevent Chipped China. Cut about one inch of ordinary rubber garden hose and slip over the end of the faucets in the kitchen sink. It will prevent many a nick in beloved china. HE CURES WITH SEA WATER. Frenchman Who Has a New Panacea for Human Iis. Paris.—For the latest, and an exceptionally interesting, addition to its free dispensaries Paris is indebted to a leading member of the aristocracy, the Marquise de MacMahon. With a beautiful baroness as her chief assistant the marquise, who already is known for her royalist sympathies and inexhaustible charity, has thrown herself heart and soul into the work of bringing the new Quinton sea water treatment within reach of the poorer classes. Mainly at her own expense she has caused a commodious dispensary to be built in the Rue M.RENE QUINTON d'Ouessant, the center of the industrial Grenelle quarter, where 500 patients can be treated in the course of a morning. The opening ceremony took place without any pomp last week. The wonders worked by the Quinton treatment already had been passed from mouth to mouth, and an eager crowd of mothers with their sick babies stood waiting for the signal to enter. All Paris is talking of the marvelous cures effected by the discovery of the learned biologist, M. Rene Quinton, whose scientific labors applied to therapeutics have at last, after obstinate opposition, forced their way to the front by the sheer weight of incontrovertible fact. In a lecture delivered at the Sorbonne the other day under the auspices of the Oceanographic institute, when the vast Richelieu amphitheater was filled to overflowing and fully a thousand persons were unable to obtain admission, M. Quinton may be said to have achieved the final and definite triumph of his theories on the saving virtues of the sea-water treatment. Reduced to its simplest expression, the sea water cure which M. Quinton has deduced from his analytical research consists in introducing by subcutaneous injections into the enfeebled organism a serum of plasma which is nothing but perfectly pure sea water, sterilized and diluted in a fixed proportion. Every malady is a polsoning of the blood due to the waste formed. The organism suffers from this modification of its natural medium. The injection of sea water purifies this polluted medium just as fresh air renovates the vitilated atmosphere of a room. It is a therapeutic agent of a general kind, the plasma itself of the organic cell. The fatigued and polished cells at once resume a normal existence, being restored to their natural medium. This explains the marvelous rapidity of the results obtained in certain cases by the injection of marine plasma. Rev. Gertrud von Petzold First to Be Regularly Ordained. London.—Rev. Gertrud von Petzold was the first woman regularly ordained BY GERCIO EN 250D IN ENGland. She was born in Thorn, Prussia, but has spent most of her life in England and Scotland. For three years she has been pastor of the Free Christian church at Leicester, England. She delivered a course of lectures in Berlin last winter on liberal Christianity. Recently she was a delegate to the congress of religious liberals in Boston. She is an A. M. of Edinburgh university and completed her theological education at Oxford. A German is bringing to America a circus of trained ants. The insects throw somer, auits, make pyramids, dance, wrestle and fence. TABLE DELICACIES GOOD THINGS TO SET BEFORE THE FAMILY. Everything seems to be jellied of late that was never so used before, such as cucumbers, mint, etc. Now it is sweet pickle. This is to be served with roast meats. Take good, sweet-pickled peaches, pears, mangoes or melons. Gelatine is dissolved and hot pickle sirup added. When cooled the cut-up pickle is put in, with some cut-up orange and a few teaspoonfuls of maraschino cherries, both fruit and sirup. Cool like any gelatine and serve with lamb or beef or poultry. Filling for Pies. — Canned blueberries, flavored with wine, may now be used for pies or tartlets. Pineapple makes nice filling, also, and a chocolate cream filling with meringue in flaky pastry is another change. Peaches and pears canned, but not sweetened, make excellent salad with lettuce. Serve mayonnaise whitened with considerable whipped cream. A little orange and apricot may be used with the other two fruits, or a very firm not over-ripe banana. This is suitable for a last course at luncheon instead of the customary dessert of pastry or sweets. Prune Pudding.—A prune pudding, which is a favorite when once known, may be made from a cupful of prunes stewed soft, the beaten whites of six eggs, a half cupful of sugar and some vanilla. Stone and mash the cooked prunes and stir them into the white of egg. Sift a half teaspoonful of cream of tartar into the half cupful of sugar; add one teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in a round earthen dish until firm. Serve at once with whipped cream. Do not jar this souffle while baking, as it is likely to fall. It should be of a pale brown color. Dried Peaches.—Dried peaches may be soaked in a slurp of sugar and water, and wine or brandy added, for a compote without cooking. That is one expedient of light housekeeping. Of course, they must be devoid of skins. Dried peach pie should be made with care, else it is tough and bitter. Soak the peaches and stew gently. Throw away the water first used if it seems bitter, for both peaches and apricots are improved and made more delicate by this seeming waste. Add the liquid to the vinegar key, if you have one After the peaches are boiled and slifted add sugar and either a little fresh butter or some cream, about a half cupful for two medium-sized ples. A little lemon rind or sherry are not amiss in dried peach pie. Canned apricots and peaches combined make nice ples, and plain canned apricots make a delicious dessert. They may be used also for tartlets or for short-cake in winter. On these use whipped cream and garnish with crystallized cherries if desired more fanciful. If at all unripe stew the apricots as if they were fresh fruit. Serve with fancy crackers or cake. Springerle. One pound of flour, one pound sugar, four eggs, a lump of butter the size of a walnut. one level teaspoonful of baking potash dissolved in a tablespoonful of milk. Mix sugar and butter, then add the eggs and beat for 15 minutes, stir in the flour, the potash and the milk and knead well. Reserve one-half cup of the flour for use on the pastry board and mold. Roll out a quarter of an inch thick, press well into the figures of a springerle mold (be sure the mold is well floured, but do not have the crevices filled), cut apart and place on a table, upon which is a light sprinkling of anise seed; leave there over night and in the morning bake in a moderate oven on waxed or oilled tins. A Novel Ham Dish. Thicken a quart of rich milk by letting it stand in a warm, but not hot, place over night. Then put into a cheese-cloth bag and let it drain thoroughly. When it will drip no longer beat the drained milk for a few minutes or until it is smooth and creamy; add half a teacupful of sweet cream, with pepper and salt to taste, and, at the last moment, cold boiled ham from which all the fat has been removed. Stir together thoroughly, and serve on crisp lettuce leaves garnished with sliced olives.—Dellineator, Bird's Neat Pudding Pare six apples and take out the cores without breaking them. Put the apples in an earthen dish, fill the holes with sugar. Make a batter of one pint of milk, two teaspoonfuls of flour and three eggs. Pour this over the apples and bake till fruit is soft. Serve with sauce. Cream Sauce—One-half cup butter beaten till real light, one cup sugar, one-half cup milk, two teaspoonfuls flour. Serve dish in cup of hot water and stir it creamy. To Produce Gloss on Linen. To give a glass to linen, pour one pint of boiling water on two ounces of salt, arabic. Cover until next day, then stain carefully and put into a can bottle. A tablespoon of this liquid stirred into a pint of ordinary taph will give collars and cuffs an appearance of nowness. Rosettes These are similar to the bouche asses, only the butter is sweetened lightly and the rosettes are filled with whipped cream or jelly instead of the mixtures suitable for patries Dellcacy That Is Popular with Our English Cousins. An unusual sandwich is the Devonshire. It is thoroughly English. Put half a pound of Vienna flour into a basin, add half a teaspoonful of salt, a level teaspoonful of castor sugar and a full teaspoonful of yeast powder, then rub two ounces of butter into the flour, and when thoroughly mixed moisten with a well-beaten egg and enough milk to form a fairly soft dough. Knead the latter just sufficiently to make it into a perfectly smooth ball, then turn it from the mixing basin on to a floured board, and after rolling it out to about the thickness of a quarter of an inch, cut it out into rounds with a plain or fluted cutter of about the size of a five shilling piece and bake the scones at once on a floured tin. Just before they are done brush them over with beaten egg, and on taking them from the oven let them cool on a wire rack or sieve. Shortly before they are required split the scones through the middle with a sharp knife and spread all the pieces with thick clotted cream, then cover half the number with a layer of honey and close the sandwiches. FOR FLAVORING CLEAR SOUP. Extract Made from Vegetable Parings and Spices. "How do you ever get so much flavor into a clear soup?" asked an intimate friend of the hostess. "I make a regular vegetable flavoring extract," was the reply. "It's good for soups or stews of any sort. "If you want to make some, collect some nice fresh carrot and turnip peelings, onion, leak and tomato skins and celery trimmings. They should welgh about a pound altogether. Add to these a sprig each of parsley, thyme and marjoram, one bay leaf, one clove of garlic, a small piece of lemon peel, two cloves, eight peppercorns, one teapoonful of salt and one pint of cold water. "Put them all on the range and simmer until it has boiled down to about half a pint. Next strain carefully and bottle the mixture. This flavoring is very strong, and about one teaspoonful of it is required to flavor one pint of stock." Plants Thrive on Steam. A woman famous among her friends for her thrifty house plants ascribe her success to her practice of steaming them "Whenever they begin to droop and look as if they needed 'toning up' they get a treatment," she said recently. She has a row of hooks arranged on the bathroom wall over the tub, and from these she suspends the pots by strings to within two feet of the water, the plants having previously had a thorough watering. The door and windows are closed, with the exception of a narrow crack left open at the top of one of the latter, and the tub is filled with water hot enough to allow a gentle steam to rise and pervade the atmosphere. In this position the plants are left for an hour, and the operation is repeated until they are restored to health. This of course only can be done in a room with painted walls, as the constant steaming will loosen paner' Crown of Lamb The success of this dish depends largely upon your butcher. You need two racks of young lamb chops. They should be cut and "frenched," but not entirely separated. These two racks should be tied together with the bones towards the inside, forming a perfect circle. Put in bakingpan and roast from 25 to 15 minutes, according to the heat of your oven, basting the meat frequently. This should be served on a large platter, and the inside of the "crown" should be filled with two cans of French peas that have been heated with a tablespoon of butter. Garnish the outside of the crown with Saratoga potatoes and parsley. If your guests are not many and you have an exceedingly large platter, you can serve this entire course on the one platter. Hot Ham Sandwiches A housewife who was tired of serving cold sliced ham advises other people to try hot ham sandwiches. "Cut thin slices of white bread and spread half of them with soft butter and the remaining half with finely chopped ham," said she. "Press the slices together and remove the crust. Beat one egg slightly, add one-half cup milk and strain over the sandwiches. When molested place them in a hot frying pan with two level tablespoons of butter. Brown on both sides and serve at once." Veal and Tongue Cheese Pound in a mortar equal quantities cold boiled tongue and veal, adding the meanwhile a little butter and some of the veal stock to molten. Pack solidly in a stone far, pour on melted butter, cover tightly and keep in a cool, dry place. This can be served with any tart jelly or used in a salad. Always a new wrinkle from the young woman of "faculty" who knows how to do everything the nicest and easiest way. Rice, she says, makes the best possible filling for a fancy pin cushion, as it holds its shape well, and takes the pins easily. Boiled Clder Sauce. Heat one egg yolk in sauce pan over boiling water, add one tablespoon of brown sugar, beat, then add three-fourths cup of nice boiled cider. Continue beating until smooth and foamy. THE BEE 1109 Eye St. N. W. Washington, D. C. Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class trail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months .....50 Subscription monthly .....20 Why is the colored press so silent on these discriminations? Why should colored Americans seek company that discriminates against them? Throughout the South the lily white officeholders are against colored Republicans and are doing all in their power to eliminatte them from active participation in politics. If there is any manhood in colored Americans they should demonstrate it. They should not allow themselves to be used and then cast aside like so much trash. The colored vote in the coming election will be needed. The black man in the South has a duty to perform and he should perform it without fear or favor. Today a Douglass and Langston are needed. Negro leadership of today is cowardly to some extent. The recent meeting of the bishops showed conclusively that the eyes of colored Americans are being opened slowly but surely. The question now is, however, Is the Negro needed? SENATOR CHANDLER'S LETTER. There is no man in this country more in the confidence of the people than ex-Scinator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire. Mr. Chandler has always been a loyal Republican and a true American. He has always believed in fair play for white and black Republicans alike. There is no man more liked by the common people than Senator Chandler. The Bee means by the common people, those who are the bone and sinew of the republic. His defense of Southern Republicans is manly and like the man. Mr. Chandler takes no backward steps, and neither does he pick his man. His letter in another column of The Bee is an evidence of loyalty to the Republican party South. Senator Chandler is for Senator La Follette. He must be a man who can be trusted because he has the endorsement of Mr. Chandler. TWO WHITE MEN. There will be an attempt to send two white men to the National Republican Convention. Colored Republicans should be on the lookout and see that the will of the majority is carried out. If it is shown to the satisfaction of the Republicans that an attempt will be made to elect two white men, then the colored Republicans should see that two colored delegates are elected and a colored man placed on the National Committee. A SELL OUT? There is a rumor afloat that one of the many tickets in the field made an effort to sell out this week. It is now claimed that the two white candidates will get off the ticket. There is another candidate who has declared that he wants to go to the convention to make a deal. Within a few days there will be all kinds of a smash-up in the slates. The fight is now interesting, and at any moment someone will be on the cooling board. Existing conditions seem to point to the fact that the colored American is not wanted in the American body politic, so far as Republicans are concerned. Cries come up from the South that the lily white officeholders in that section have systematically organized against colored Republicans. It also seems that the Administration is doing nothing to stop it. That being a fact, it looks as if the Administration is a party to it. Remove John C. Nalle from the schools. All the bosses have not been removed from the schools as yet. A political vagrancy law will be enacted. Perhaps Chairman Bieber thinks that there is a gold mine in sight. The Editor of The Bee will be in the fight to win, and not to be counted out. Th next ticket the Editor launches will be a sticker and the winner. The banquet to Auditor Tyler the other evening gave the Administration forces a chance to straddle. The Bee extends its codolences to Dr. Bailey. "Sorrow could never revive the dead, so we weep because we weep in vain." Chairman Bieber, without authority, wants each candidate to put up $350. He thinks that he is running a bank, no doubt- Captain Oyster, the colored schools will not be tranquil until the obstructors are removed. The Dolliver bill will be defeated. There has been an exit of the local statesmen. They are leaving the sinking ship and making their way to Candidates Horner and Flathers. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW If there are colored delegates, if any will vote for Senator Foraker. If C. J. Perry, of the Philadelphia Tribune, ever took a vacation when he was a member of the Council. When J. Douglass Wetmore stands now. If the colored race is in need of a leader. How many Negro electors will support Mr. Taft if he is nominated. If Mr. Taft and Bryan are nominated, which will colored Americans support. How will colored Republicans North vote in the next election. Who will go on the National Committee if the Burt ticket is elected. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE District Republicans united. District Republicans united. More manhood among colored Americans. A strong National Committee man selected. The nerves of District Republicans soothed. Less worry about the Chase ticket. Five thousand more subscribers by the end of the year. A national testimonial to Prof. Booker T. Washington. Preachers keep out of politics. Dr. Corrothers made a bishop. WOULD AVOID PARTY SPLITS. Under such a system as the above there will be no splits in the Republican party of the South on delegates to the National Convention or other matters. The question at once arises, How shall there be obtained a State committee of from 50 to 100 which will be so completely a representative body that its decisions will be submitted to by the party in the State? Here is where hte power of the Administration should be exerted: Instead of making appointments according to the recommendation of two or three individuals, whether Republicans or Democrats, selected by the Administration, the State committee should have the privilege of recommendation, and the power of the Administration should only be exerted to secure an honest, and able committee, which will fairly represent the Republican party of the State. This power of the Administration can be exerted without creating friction. It would seldom be exerted, and would only slightly be exerted at any time. The State conventions which will appoint the State committees will be fairly representative bodies, and they will give all kinds of Republicans, black and white, reasonable representation on the State committees. The administration will have no trouble in inducing the conventions to place upon the State committees the very best Republicans there are in the States, and there is no Southern State in which there are not Republicans good enough for a State committee, if they are encouraged to go to the State convention, and to accept places upon the State committee. SENATOR CHANDLER'S PLAN. March 10, 1903. — Memorandum About Southern Politics. The condition of things at the South nomination made in 1908, as Mr. Hanna so far as the Republican party is concerned is unsatisfactory, and there is great dissatisfaction on the part of the Southern Republicans with the Administration. Without specifically stating the raisons for that dissatisfaction, or considering whether they are just or unjust, there is a very simple remedy which should be applied, and none other will answer the purpose. The habit of selecting two or three men in a Southern State as referees who shall control the whole Federal patronage within the State is intolerable to the mass of the Republicans, be that mass few or many. It is unbearable when the persons selected to act as referees are Democrats. There should be substituted for this unwise system the recognition in each State of the Republican State committee. This should go a large committee — not less than fifty, sometimes as many as 100. The administration should recognize in making appointments a majority of this committee, or may well require a two-thirds majority. The whole committee need not, by a vote of a majority or two-thirds of its members, decide upon each of its recommendations; it may appoint an executive committee, which will make their recommendations, but this executive committee must itself be the honest product of a majority or two-thirds vote of the whole committee, which must feel entirely free at any time to assemble and give directions to its executive committee. CARNEGIE HOSPITAL NEWEST ADDITION Branch Work of Avery College Receives Endorsement of Iron King. From the Pittsburgh Times. There is a new hospital in Pittsburgh. It is to be known as "The Carnegie Hospital." It is connected with the Avery College Training School at Avery and Nelson streets, North Side, and authority for the use of the name of Andrew Carnegie, has been received by letter. Joseph D. Mahoney, superintendent of the college and training school, leaves this morning for the East where he will remain for several days in conference with representatives of Mr. Carnegie, discussing necessary changes is operating, prior to the receipt of Mr. Carnegie's full endorsement. One of the stipulations to the use of Mr. Carnegie's name and receipt of his full approval is the appointment of Dr. John A. Brashear as a member of the board of trustees. Dr. Brashear was present last night at the college on the occasion of the mid-winter exhibition of work in company with John D.Cherry, Dr.G. G.Turfley, and Superintendent Mahoney. The college has been in existence for several years and has been doing a splendid work in the training department. Here young women are taught to sew and do millinery work, and the young men are taught tailoring and other useful trades. There is a membership at present of three hundred, some of whom are dormitory students. The hospital which at present consists of two wards, a nurses' room and operating room, has just been opened and there all cases, with the exception for the presence of contagious diseases, will be received and treated. NO NEED OF PLAN IN 1904. There was no occasion to use the convenient power thus deliberately organized in the National Convention of 1904, because there was no contest therein over the presidential nomination. If there had been a contest, the exercise by a few men of the control of the Southern delegates in imitation of Mr. Hanna's plan of 1896 would have been resisted, and the prediction made by me of contests in nearly all the Southern States would have been fulfilled. It has been reserved for a period four years later to see the legitimate, logical, and necessary result of the policy of destroying Republican organization in the Southern States. It is a question that has been weighing upon me since 1896, and the time came, as I thought, for me to speak, whether my snuffence might be much or little. I was bound to do this, whatever my feelings might be in reference to the presidential nomination, for I should have felt that a succeeded in making the nomination of 1896, would be followed by defeat. History often repeats itself as to methods, but frequently fails as to results. If I were in favor of Mr. Taft's nomination today instead of Mr. La Follette's, I should be intensely active to change the method of conducting his canvass at the South. The bold proclamation of a purpose to control the convention by Southern delegates' secured through the detail of Mr. Hitchcock to go South and capture them by appeals to the present Federal officeholders, and to the white Republicans and the white Democrats who may want future office, while there is ostracism of all the colored people of the South, would, if it were to meet with success at the National Convention, most likely be followed by defeat at the polls. HONOR TO MR. WASHINGTON. From the Buxton Gazette. The editor of the Washington Bee has suggested that the colored people of this country should tender to Dr. Booker T. Washington a testimonial by a public demonstration in Convention Hall in Washington next May. We believe that the idea is a good one and that if carried out in the proper spirit it will result in good for the race. Dr. Washington does not need it or desire it for any personal advantage. His fame is world wide and his cup of honor is full to overflowing. His work stands on the solid rock of its own worth and merit. He is not seeking those things that find expression only in vanity and notoriety. But the race which he represents does need to recognize the leadership of a man that has worked so wisely in their behalf. We need to show to the world that we will follow a sensible and conservative leader. Dr. Washington now stands for a cause that is greater than himself — the cause of human progress for all men — and it is to this cause that we lend our aid when we honor the man who is today one of its most earnest and effective advocates. ATTORNEY GREEN'S GREAT LEAGUE VICTORY. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Overwhelmed when a jury, after 24 hours' deliberation, found Wade Leigh, on trial for first degree murder, guilty of assault and battery, Judge Phillips yesterday scored the jurymen unsparingly. It was thought at 3.30 yesterday afternoon that the jurors would not be able to agree, having been out since 3 Thursday, and Leigh was on the point of pleading guilty to manslaughter, punishable with twenty years, when the gong rang, announcing that the jurors had reached a verdict. Slowly the twelve filed into the box. Criminal Court Clerk Flick called the roll, then read their verdict, "guilty of assault and battery." While the prisoner, happy sprang to shake each juror by the hand his attorney John P. Green made a speech of thanks. Prosecutor Lieghley followed with his gratitude, but irony was apparent in his words. Judge Phillips sat flushed and motionless on the bench until these ceremonies ended, then he launched forth: "This verdict is a miscarriage of justice," he said. "It is preposterous. If such were the rule, we might as well have no more law, shut up our court houses." As the prisoner walked trembling to his desk, the judge said that from the facts the accused himself conceded to be true, he was logically, guilty of murder in the first degree. Instead of death in the electric chair, Leigh escaped with a work house sentence of six months and a fine of $200 and costs. Wade Leigh, a Negro about twenty-five, was put on trial ten days ago for the shooting of Vernon Love, another Negro, in a saloon on East Ninth street at nine in the evening of December 17. Leigh's witnesses testified in the course of the trial that Love, who had a "bad man" reputation, after a quarrel, waylaid Leigh outside a saloon at 7.30 that night and hurled two bottles at him, grazing his head. Two hours after Leigh found himself in another saloon further down the street; Love followed. Leigh says Love flashed a knife; Leigh fired; his opponent fell dead. At three o'clock Thursday Judge Phillips was overcome by the verdict. Then he told Leigh to rise, and began: "This verdict is preposterous. I cannot account for it; that a jury of 12 intelligent men should hold you guilty of so light a charge after they heard the evidence in this case is to me unaccountable. "From the facts you yourself admit and from your explanation of your movements that night, the only logical, national conclusion is that you are guilty of murder in the first degree. Such a verdict may well inspire our citizens with a feeling of insecurity and encourage the commission of high crime. It is a miscarriage of justice." The jurymen, silent, filed out of the room. The work house, sentence, $200, ecsts and six months will keep the prisoner many years in the institution, if worked out; the length of time depends upon the total costs in the case. WILL THE BEE STOP AND READ? From the Cadiz Informer. Editor Chase is a splendid writer, but when he gets on the preachers for getting on the right side of moral questions we cite him to read the following Scriptures: Jeremiah, xxxv, where n is shown that God gives his unqualified endowment to and pronounced His blessings upon the Rechabites because they were a prohibition people, neither making nor allowing the use of 'the nasty 'stuff.' If some preachers drink whisky, then doubtless there are whisky-drinking preachers. God said there would be men who were lovers of flesh and of worldly pleasure. But back to the word of God. Passages of the following may be multiplied: "Wine is a mocker; strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Prov. i, 20. "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aight, at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Prov. xxiii, 31, 32. "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest the bottle to him and makets him drunk." Also, Matt. ii, 15. "No drunkard shall inherit the Knigdom of God." I. Cor., vi. 6, 10. The pastors and preachers who drink whisky set a very bad example to their churches. Wonder is that those churches do not find sober pastors and preachers who can do without their dram. And save us from this lecture of our co-editor Chase. Christ does not approve of whisky drinking church members any more than He approves of whisky drinking pastors and preachers. Just the thought of Jesus patronizing a modern saloon is sacrilegious. HOSANNAS AND ANATHEMAS. From the Hosannas, 'to crucify him,' is with the practical Americans, an easy transition, and is determinable largely by the subtle influence of the "Aimighty and the recipient of the adulatory acclaims today may become the victim of the popular indignation tomorrow. It is related of President Roosevelt that on being congratulated some time ago by a friend on the popularity he had attained, he predicted that should a period of hard times visit the country he would be the most unpopular of presidents. And the prediction would appear to be on the threshold of fulfillment. Already a number of newspapers are attacking him, one attributes his saying as having 'turned on the light' to "the egotism of a very aggressive nature." Others are no less outspoken and to the verge of brutal plainness, all being excited by the financial panic which followed the exposures of the President, and it would now appear that his decision that he would under 'no circumstances accept the nomination for a third time, was dictated by the ripest of wisdom, for Roosevelt as president in 1908 is an impossibility.

The Interstate Commerce Commission has decided by a unanimous vote to deny petitions for the extension of time within which to comply with the so-called hours of service law, the nine-hour law. Although a law on the statute book says that when a new State is admitted into the Union a star representing the State shall be added to the American flag on July 4th succeeding its admission to the Union, that law was violated last Monday by the House of Representatives. All the supply of forty-five-star flags having run out, a forty-six-star flag was raised at the House end of the Capitol.

Inquiry into the competitive methods of the Standard Oil Company was continued last Monday in the suit of the Government against the company. A REVIEW AND THE OUTLOOK At a recent meeting of the Sixteenth District Republican Club the following instructive address relative to conduct of the members, was made by the president, William Tibbs: That orderly conduct should at all times be observed by organizations; that the right and interest should be both individually as well as collectively displayed in the upbuilding of the colored people as a race. He declared that the colored man's chances were never brighter, but that it depended largely on their cool judgment, careful conduct and forceful character. That it was entirely useless to expect his white brethren to caress him, or pretend that he was a good citizen when he really considered his qualifications to the contrary. He deplored the lack of interest displayed by the colored people in many ways. Subjects of vital importance are relegated to the background, while subjects of little concern are usually agitated. He spoke at some length on the present racial conditions that were in their power to eliminate or cause such action to be taken that would bring about the desired effect. He cautioned his hearers against being too hasty in selecting their local candidates in the present campaign. He pointed out the necessity of selecting such men who not only regard themselves, but have the interest, and the people, all districts, and all the peoples, regardless of color, creed, or previous conditions of servitude, for the benefit of perpetual organization all district leaders should recognize as such that district organizations may be maintained. That district organizations should unite, and devote their undivided attention toward defeating the undesirable element of candidates, who are seeking election through hypocrisy and deceit. He said it was time ethat colored men should be and are capable of selecting adequate representatives, and with aptience and at the right time such men would be selected. There are undesirable men in the field whose honor and integrity were questionable, and at the proper time the names of these campaign sharks now at large will be known to every member of the club. These men conspire and all of their concerted efforts to raise capital thrill their colored constituents only to ignore them when their votes and their presence at meetings are no longer in demand. It may be noted by many the jealous care former campaign favorites have used to defend the just distribution of acquired influence among the masses of their campaign supporters, choosing to recognize only a few favorites. The president closed by cautioning his hearers against listening to misrepresented campaign angels in disguise. He advised the members to make an individual as well as a collective strenuous fight to defeat the conspirators of, 1908. REGISTER VERNON IN NEW YORK. The Hon. W. T.

Interment at Mount Zion Cemetery A TAFT BANQUET TNRNED INTO A FORAKER LOVE FEAST. (There was a brilliant company of Americans at the cafe of James W. Gray last Monday evening. The occasion was a banquet to Hon. Ralph W. Tyler. Many speeches were made by the distinguished guests present. The most significant address made was by Attorney Harry H. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md. He was a Taft mann, and made every effort to boom him, but he found the Foraker combination in the majority. Every mention of Taft was greeted with a rebuff. Mr. Fred Moore made an attack on Senator Foraker. He said that the Senator was using the Negro for a selfish purpose. He was hissed into silence, and replied to Attorney Thomas L. Jones, who delivered the best address of the evening. Attorney Jones made a bold defense of Senator Foraker. Attorney James A. Cobb also made a fire address. He paid a high compliment to the lawyers. Addresses were delivered by ex-Governor Pinchback, Recorder J. C. Dancy, Prof. R. C. Bruce, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Attorney J. C. Napier, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler and others. Among some of the guests present were Messrs. Robert T.Douglass, Clark, Drs. Cobbiness, Williston, Mr. Sam Williams, and others. The Foraker guests seemed to be in the majority. One of the most successful revivals ever held in the United States is in progress now at the great Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, N street northwest between Ninth and Tenth street, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, D.D., LLD., pastor, conducted by the world's famous evangelist, Dr. Drew. Since these meetings commenced, about four weeks ago, fully twenty-five thousand people have attended the services and about three thousand persons have asked for prayer that they may be saved. Several hundred have already been converted, baptized and joined the said church. Dr. Drew extended the hand of fellowship to two hundred new members last Sunday, and administered the Lord's Supper. He preached one of the most eloquent sermons that we have ever listened to at 7:30 p.m. Next Sunday he will preach special sermons at 10:30 a.m., subject, "The ladder extending from earth to heaven," and at 7:30 p.m., subject, "Dead dog after a flea," by request of several friends of the church, to be following by baptizing at 9 p.m.. This great revival will be continued until April 12. Dr. Drew is one of the best-known evangelistic preachers, saddowed with gifts peculiar to his work. His sermons are spiritual and philosophical compositions. His power as an evangelist has won from every denomination, the title of "The Colored D. L. Moody of America, and the Evangelistic Artist." He has an unusual manner, with a noble, dignified bearing, and he adds much to his acquired talents by his pulpit delivery. His voice is deep, mellow, under perfect control, at times strikingly like a thunderbolt, and compelling obedience to his words; again plaintive and persuasive, attracting his hearers by an irresistible force. Great crowds flocked to hear this great evangelist, from all parts of the city and nearby towns and villages of Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland. A great revival wave is sweeping over Washington. THE WESLEY CLUB. A special song service under the auspices of the Club named above, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president, assisted by the Lyric Orchestra, was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. Both the body of the church and its spacious galleries were filled by an appreciative and enthusiastic audience. The exercises began with the "Glory Song," by congregation and orchestra; invocation by the pastor, Rev. J. H. Welch, and selection, "Religion." Chambers, by the orchestra. The regular program consisted mainly of solos, as follows: solo, selected, Mrs. Irving; comet solo, "Dear Lord, remember me," Thompson, by R. E. Giles; solo, "The endless Day," Madame Prileon; solo, "Open the gates," Knapp, Mrs. L. H. Burrell; solo, selected, Mr. W. H. Carter, Jr.; solo, "Save me, O God," Reudegger, Mrs.Blagburn; organ offertory, "St. Cecilia," Prof. W. G. Braxton; solo, selected, Mr. J. DeWitte Wilson; solo, selected, Master Turner Layton; solo, "Calvary," by request, Madane Prielon; selection, "Heart to heart," orchestra; doxology and benediction. Madame Pritleon came in for a large share of attention, judging by the marked applause, clapping of hands, stamping of feet, etc., by several hundred enthusiastic admirers, calling forth a mild but nevertheless a vigorous protest from the minister, Dr. Welch, who begged to remind the 'delighted' hearers that they were "in the house of the Lord." This pointed protest seemed to have allayed the applause somewhat. The Wesley Club is composed of a number of well known young ladies, who are active both in church and charitable work, among whom we noticed the Misses Daisy Watson, Bertha Saunders, Willie Nelson Eliza Bell Rosebud Murray, Rosetta Orme, Gertrude Ryan, Eunice Dorster, May Saunders, Florence Freeman and Marie Morgan, who acted as ushers. A silver offering was taken at the door by the Mrs. A. B. Baily, Sadi Wingard, Virginia Jeter and Essie Fortune. HALL ASSOCIATION A well attended meeting of the Union Hall Association was held at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 18th street between L and M streets northwest, Monday evening last. In a short address Mr. P. D. Morris, president of the association, explained the objects of the meeting and of the association, which were to form a stock company and erect a large building or auditorium for theatrical convention and reception purposes. The principal address was delivered by Attorney W. C. Martin, who was present by special invitation. Mr. William Foman, the secretary, stated that the temporary board of directors had about decided to fix the capital stock at $100,000, with 10,000 shares at $10 a share. All present seemed pleased with the good start the organization had made, and fully appreciated the real necessity for such a hall. ODD FELLOWS. After forty-two years' existence as a voluntary association, pursuant to a resolution passed by the members of Potomac Union Lodge, No. 892, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, a committee appointed for the purpose had prepared, filed and recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia a certificate of incorporation. The Lodge will continue its name; the term for which it is incorporated is perpetual, and its principal business and objects are benevolent. The incorporators are: Robert J. Holmes, Thomas D. Tucker and Jnho W. Lee. The articles of incorporation were prepared and filed by Attorney W. C. Martin, Past District Grand Master of the Order. REPUBLICAN RALLY A rousing Republican rally was held at Odd Fellows Hall, Twenty-eighth and Dumbarton, on last Tuesday night, under the auspices of the United Republican Clubs of the District of Columbia. Many and long were the applause that punctuated every mention of the name of the Ohio Senator. Chairman Bowie presided, and in a neat, well-chosen speech told of the object and purpose of the meeting, and the efforts the clubs are making in trying to arouse the Republicans of the District to the importance of carrying the election for the Foraker delegates. Mr. John T. C. Newson was the next speaker. He said: "When they come to you and ask you to stand by the administration, reply to them according to the watchword on our hand-bills, 'Remember Brownsville.'" Our friends only can get our votes." He spoke of the several combinations or tickets which we have endeavored to form, and which, after announcement have mysteriously fallen to pieces. This, he urged, should not disconcert our followers at all. It indicated, he thought, the desperate efforts being put forth by the Administration forces to demoralize us, and carry the election for Taft, for Hitchcock is now abroad in the land We are grateful for the fact that we have two candidates on our ticket that are, impervious to such influences—men who are strong and true to their convictions and to the people, and who will win on election day. He referred to W. Calvin Chase ad Colonel Odell. These efforts on the part of the opposition should only move us to renewed and more determined efforts to win, as we will. Dr. A. J. Robbins, of the Fourth Virginia, District, and formerly of North Carolina, was next called upon. Dr. Robbins is a forceful and eloquent speaker. He has been doing some yeoman service down in Virginia. He held the audience spellbound while he told of the heroic efforts being put forth throughout the Old Dominion to combat the evident growth of lily-whitism, and to send only known friends of Senator Foraker to Chicago. He emphasized the importance and wisdom of sending uninstructed regular delegates, rather than instructed contesting delegates, which they are endeavoring to do in Virginia, wherever the conventions are called and dominated by petty officeholders or lily whites. Dr. Robbins is a trained and impressive campaigner, and his visit to the Republicans of the District was a source of inspiration and much enthusiasm. He promises to come again a little later on in the cmapaign. NEW PASTOR INSTALLED THE installation of Rev. E. E. Ricks, the pastor-elect of the First Colored Baptist Church, corner of 27th street and Dumbarton avenue, on Wednesday night was largely attended. At eight o'clock Rev. John H. Burke, pastor of Israel Baptist Church, the master of ceremonies, called the assemblage to order, and the exercises began with an organ voluntary, followed by the doxology. After prayer by Rev. o'Jeph H. Lee and a hymn Rev. J. N. Beaman then read the fourth chapter of second Corinthians. Following an anthem by the choir, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D.D., pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, preached the installation sermon, taking as his theme "The Duty of the Preacher." A quartet composed of William De Long, John Braxton, T. A. Walker and A. Lincoln Alexander, sang. Lawyer J. Thomas Newson, of NewportNews, Va, spoke of Mr. Ricks as his schoolmate at Howard University. Mrs. Julia Masonn Layton extended a welcome on behalf of the women of the denomination and the Baptist Woman's Home Missionary Society; A. S. Pinkett spoke for the young men of the church. A welcome from sister denominations was extended by Revs. A. C. Garner, of the Congregational Church; B. T. Perkins and F. A. Seaton, of the Methodist Church; D. E. Wiseman, of the Lutheron Church, and Mr. William W. McCarey, of the Presbyterian Church. Rev. W. J Howard, of Zion Baptist Church, next spoke and following a selection by the choir Rev. E. E. Ricks, the newly installed pastor, responded. Rev. Daniel Reed pronounced the benediction. After the formal service the congregation sat down to supper. Rev. J. H. Burke acted as toastmaster, and Rev. Dr. S. G. Lankins, pastor of Tenth Street Baptist Church; Dr. Charles H. Marshall, A. W. Tancil and James E. McGirt, of Philadelphia, spoke.

REV.EDGAR ERICKS INSTALLED Last Wednesday evening, February 26th, was the scene of a most brilliant affair at the First Baptist Church, of Georgetown, when the Rey. Edgar E. Ricks was installed as its pastor. Over a thousand people witnessed the occasion, which gave honor to whom honor is due. Several hundred people were turned away because, so to speak, there was no room in the inn. Dr. W. H. Brooks, of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, with telling effect, preached the installation sermon, after which some of the best speakers in the city delivered addresses, in which they paid a high tribute to the real worth of the Rev. Mr. Ricks, not only to the Church which had called him, but of his race. Circled "E," of the First Baptist Church, through its president, presented the newly installed pastor with a handsome gold fob. The reception room tables were laden with palatable food prepared for those who desired to participate. CHAIRMAN BIEBER CALLED DOWN — ATTORNEY COLLINS OBJECTS — A PROBABLE SPLIT IN THE COMMITTEE. Chairman Sidney Bieber, of the election committee, has been called to an account by Attorney George F. Collins, a member of the election committee. Chairman Bieber, it seems, has been holding star chamber sessions; that is, he and Mr. Cranford have been doing things contrary to the rules and without the knowledge of Attorney Collins. Mr. Bieber was told this week by Attorney Collins that he had made every effort to have a meeting, but without success. A meeting was called for February 22, but Chairman Bieber disappointed Attorney Collins and made no apology. Attorney Collins was informed by Chairman Bieber that each delegate would have to put up $350. Attorney Collins wanted to know who authorized him to make such assessment. Mr. Bieber informed Attorney Collins that two were a majority and sufficient to do business. Attorney Collins informed Chairman Bieber that he would not do business unless he was consulted. In reply the chairman stated that either he or Mr. Collins would have to get off. Attorney Collins in reply informed him that he could suit himself. The Bee would suggest that unless Attorney Collins is treated with respect he issue a separate call for the election of delegates. F. E GREEN & CO Mr. J. Henry Foster, manager for F. E. Green Co., 816 and 818 Nineteenth street northwest, has made an addition to his place of business. Aside from the large work and repair rooms upstairs, he has opened another room downstairs, where he has on exhibition all kinds of ladies' dresses. Mr. Foster is active and persevering, and there is no doubt that he leads all tailoring businesses in this city. Then he has two expert dressmakers in the persons of Miss Mabel E. Anderson and Mrs. Mayme B. Jones. Both of these ladies are expert fitters and cutters of ladies' dresses. They are also up in business, which is a great acquisition to F. E. Green Co. You should not hesitate to give him a call. JIM CROW AIR. In theBureau of Engraving andPrinting there are separate toilet rooms for the females. The white women have heat in their room, but the colored women have no heat. Just why this discrimination exists The Bee is unable to state. SUPERVISOR NALLE There is every reason that John C. Nalle, one of the colored supervisors, should be removed from the schools. The Bee would suggest that this man and his work in the schools and his bossism over teachers should be investigated. There has never been a report in the case of the Misses Patterson as yet, which was promised before the retirement of Dr. Chancellor. WILLIAM S. ODELL From the Journal of the Knights of Labor. It does not for that because a person becomes a member of a labor organization that he must throw aside all party affiliation and wage a battle against "party" in the interest of labor reform. The brother whose name heads this article has during his political life been a member of the Republican party, but that fact did not prevent him from joining the Knights of Labor and of becoming a loyal member of Local Assembly No. 1620, Washington, D.C. His record as a man among men was all the recommendation necessary to admit him to membership. William S. Odell has been a resident of the District of Columbia for years, and is thoroughly familiar with the political and business interests of this city, and this is why his friends have decided to push forward his name as alternate delegate to the National Republican Convention. Mr. Odell served as a Union soldier in the War of the Rebellion, in the Seventh Indiana Infantry Volunteers, for three years, participating in thirty-two general engagements, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, "The Wilderness," Spotsylvania and Petersburg. At Petersburg he was severely wounded. He joined the Grand Army of the Republic in 1866, and has filled all the offices from Outside Sentinel to Department Commander, and his standing as a Master Mason covers more than forty years. He voted for Abraham Lincoln in 1864, and for every Republican President since that date. He was the representative in Washington, D. C., of the Indiana Republican State Central Committee, 1883 to 1886; president of the McKinley and Hobart Interstate Campaign Club, 1896; secretary of the McKinley and Roosevelt Interstate Campaign Club, 1900; organizer and national secretary of the "Old Boys" (the men who voted for Fremont and Lincoln), 1904; member of the executive committee of the League of Republican State Clubs, District of Columbia; member of Local Assembly No. 620, Knights of Labor; and an organizer of the Roosevelt and Fairbanks Labor Club. He is nominated as an alternate on the Distriqt Republican tickets composed of William S. Odell and W. Calvin Chase, alternate, Mr. Marshall, of Georgetown; and the ticket that names General A. S. Burt, with—William S. Odell as alternate, and John W. Patterson, with—Mr. Gaskins as alternate. June, 1906, Colonel Odell was sent as a delegate to the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Republican party. There is no man in this city more popular than Colonel Odell. of the world." ITEMS ON THE WING Recent events have more fully demonstrated the necessity of the Negro of the United States being united. Comrade Goodman, commander of Post No. 9, G. A. R., is sick with the grip at his home. In 1776 Washington did away with kings in the United States. In 1908 the money kings are in full control. Recorder Lazarus of Bayonne, N. J., rules that a mistress is justified in slapping and kicking a sevant girl for impertinence. At a meeting of the Encampment, G. A. R, Department of the Potomac, it was resolved that the price of admission would be $1.25 to the dinner given to the National Commander in Chief on February 20 in order that all comrades in the Department could meet him. In order to keep out the black comrades the number of guests was limited to three hundred, as it was stated that it was impossible to hold a popular banquet. The white comrades may draw the color line, but there is an encampment they will visit in the near future where they will meet on the one level. In Freiburg, Germany, the authorities maintain a theater, seats for nine cents, several restaurants, meals for six cents; schools, and a newspaper.

Geore Wicks, colored, a prisoner in the jail at Washington, Pa., has been elected constable in the Third ward of Washington. Mrs. Annie R. Hale, of Tennessee, in a lecture Friday, subject "A Plan to Bring the North and the South Together Upon an Old Issue (we all know what that is), in part synopsis states that the South should encourage an orderly, systematic, gradual exodus of the Southern Negro into the North and Northwest, and that the distaste of the South toward the Negro rests on prejudice. (All the trouble the Negro of the United States has today rests upon prejudice and lack of unity.) The Chicago Evening Post proposes that the Republican party should elect a Southern man as Vice President. That is the trouble now, viz., too much Southern influence in Government, affairs. Mrs. James F. Johnson, of D street southwest, is sick with la gripe. Bishop Satterlee, of the Diocese of Washington, D. C., died February 22.

HINT8 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 boll 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 lenion 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. Boll 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. Shr over the fire until the ingredients begin to boll, 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.

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. Onions 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 onions 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 the 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 molisten. 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. PINAUD'S HAIR TONIC (QUININE) LILLIAN RUSSELL, the beautiful actress, says.

Recipe Given Here, in Respect of Materials and Quantities, Is Intended ing Dainties. As fondant is the foundation for all the fine French candles, 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 kneading, vegetable color pastes that can be purchased at any first-class confectioners' 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 teaspoonful 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 saucepan 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 gracalate also. If any acum arles, 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, boll 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.

Refreshing Drink Extract Easily Prepared and Bottled. Do you ever wish you could make iced chocolate that would taste, as good as iced tea and coffee? One original hostess who is always springing something new served it at a card party the other night. She gave these directions to a guest who inquired into the mystery: Put an ounce of cooking chocolate into a saucepan and pour on it gradually one pint of boiling water, stirring all the time. Put the saucepan on the fire and stir until the chocolate is all dissolved, then add granulated sugar and taste and stir until it begins to boil. Cook for three minutes longer without stirring, then strain and cool. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract, bottle and store in a cool place. When needed, put two tablespoons of crushed ice in a tumbler, add two tablespoons of whipped cream, one gill of milk and half a gill of any carbonic water. Stir thoroughly before drinking. It is wonderfully refreshing. MEATS THAT REQUIRE CARE. Care Needed in the Preparation of Lamb and Mutton. An experienced housewife declares that both lamb and mutton should be more carefully prepared than the other meats. First, the loose fat which comes wrapped around such a roast should be removed, washed carefully in salty water and set to work in a dish of cold water into which a very little blcarbonate of soda has been put. Then the roast proper instead of being washed or wiped, as usual, should be thoroughly scraped with a sharp knife until every bit of skin has been removed, without, however, cutting away any of the fat, and next the meat should be freely rubbed with salt. After this, the loose fat, which has meanwhile been soaking, should be wiped quite dry and fartened around the roast with long skewers. Finally, this outer layer should be rubbed over with salt and at last the roast of lamb or mutton is ready for the pan. Ribbon Pudding One quart milk. $1 \frac{1}{2}$ squares chocolate, six level tablespoons sugar, one half cup shredded cocoanut, eight level tablespoons cornstarch, whites of two eggs, two teaspoons vanilla. Use two double bollers and scald a pint of milk in each. When hot put the chocolate into one and the cocoanut into the other. Divide the sugar and cornstarch and mix in two cups.

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 Add a bit of salt to each and dilute with enough cold milk to pour. When the chocolate is melted add the cornstarch mixture from one cup and stir until thick and smooth, then cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining cornstarch to the cocoanut and milk, and cook in the same manner. When done remove from the fire and add the egg whites boaten stiff, allowing half for each double boiler; then add half the vanilla to each. Wet a mold in cold water and add half of one mixture, then half of the other. Repeat the chill thoroughly. When ready to serve turn on a glass dish and serve with cream, either plain or whipped. A French Dish A favorite dish in a French family consists of Spanish mackerel served with young leeks. The leeks, with their leaves on, are boiled for half an hour in salted water and a tablespoonful of butter. Meanwhile a Spanish mackerel that has been split down the back is seasoned inside and out with salt and pepper, folded and brushed thoroughly with melted butter and broiled for ten minutes on each side. The fish is served in the middle of the platter with the leeks arranged around it and accompanied by a rich cream sauce seasoned with parsley and lemon juice. A. Left-Over Suggestion. When you have boiled a ham do not insist upon its appearing on the family board after it has been eaten down to the serag ends. These are unsightly and by that time the family is tired of it at any rate. Instead, make use of the chopper and turn the small pieces into croquettes, or mix them with creamed eggs baked in a pudding dish or even have some dainty minced ham sandwiches for lunch mixed with mayonnaise, a little chopped lettuce, and some cut up sweet pickles. Fruit Economy. When preparing apples or other fruit for cooking, first wash the fruit thoroughly and then save all the good skins, cores, etc.; put a little water over these and simmer on stove gently, then strain and pour the juice in with the fruit, and you will find that the fruit will be much richer and more highly flavored. Cinnamon Jumbles Mix as for the lemon jumbles, omitting the lemon and adding two tablespoonfuls clanamon. To make the cakes, roll lightly between the hands a small piece of dough, join the two ends, making a ring, lay in the bake pan, sprinkle with sugar and bake in a hot oven Baking Apples. When baking apples baste them often with their own juice. This is as essential for good results as to baste a roast. Everybody has some friend whom they wish to make happy. It may be mother or father, sister or brother. It may be a wife, or it may be a sweetheart — and no better time than Christmas is so appropriate — so suggestive. Nothing makes one feel happier than to gladden the heart of another. Our stock of Jewelry and Bric-a-brac is now complete.

THINGS GOOD TO REMEMBER. 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 saved 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 niggardliness 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 rulled 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-boiled eggs and sardines freed from bone (equal quantitles) 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.

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 tanned 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 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.

The supervising architect of the United States, in passing on their plans for the Jamestown Exposition, said: 'The plans of J. A. Lankford & Bro., rank first in every respect, from a standpoint of beauty, design and prices.' "J. A. Lankford & Bro., architects an builders, of Washington, D. C., who were born and reared in Potosí, Mo., have just been selected by the white Presbyterian Church committee of this city to plan and build their new church which is to be one of the finest in the city. There were eight white competitors in the architects' contest for this building, all white except Lankford & Bro., whose plans were found to be the most satisfactory in every way over those given by his white competitors." We are glad to note that J. A Lankford was unanimously elected by the board of directors supervising architect and engineer of the National Negro Fair at Mobile, Ala.

Among her last words was a plea for her race and a wish that all her people should uphold the hands of Mr. Monroe Trotter in his efforts for their good.
