ATTORNEY COLLINS IGNORED CHAIRMAN BIEBER AND CRANFORD ADOPT LILY WHITE TACTICS. Attorney George F. Collins, the Collins, the colored member of the Board of Elections, has been com- pletely ignored by Chairman Sidney Bieber and Cranford. Mr. Bieber has had no meeting with a fullBoard present, from what Attorney Collins stated to a representative of The Bee a few days ago. The tax of $350 assessed against each ticket was never discussed by Attorney Collins. There has never ATTY. GEORGE W. COLLINS. been any meeting held, although Attorney Collins has requested several. To the surprise of the colored member of the committee a call that had been prepared either by Chairman Bieber or Mr. Cranford, or by both, was sent to Attorney Collins by Chairman Bieber by William Coleman, a messenger in the Fire Department, with a request that Atto- --- THE DEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library ney Collins sign it, which Attorney Collins refused to do, but returned it to Chairman Bieber with the admonition that he, Collins, did not intend to have any star chamber proceedings. Chairman Bieber regarded this declaration as an insult, and Attorney Collins was informed that either he or the chairman would have to resign. Attorney Collins told Chairman Bieber that he could suit himself. The fact of the matter is, remarked Attorney Collins, that $350 was too much of a taxation upon candidates; that no estimate of costs had been made, and if there were three tickets in the field the total amount that would be deposited would be $1,050. The Bee's estimate of expenses is as follows: On the theory that there will be three tickets in the field, and allowing each delegation one judge without cost (certainly, any reputable Republican would serve serve as judge of election without pay),twenty-two or twenty-four registration booths, two days, would average $240 dollars. Let each delegation print its own tickets, or if the committee prefers to print them they will cost $30 for 30,000, three changes allowed in the three sets of tickets. Twenty-four registration books, 35 cents each. Allow each clerk (twenty-four), say one dollar and fifty cents a day, say two days three dollars each, total amount for the entire business would be $350.40. The Bee's estimate is more than liberal, because there are some booths that can be secured for less than five dollars per day. Why should candidates be assessed $1,050? What does this look like? This is what Attorney Collins objects to. This is what all Republicans don't like. It is an unnecessary taxation, to which Republicans will not subscribe. Admitting that each judge is to W. H. HON. WALTER I. SMITH, OF COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. OPEN LETTER To the Republicans of the District: If there ever was a time for colored Republicans of the District of Columbia to show their manhood, now is the time. The recent platform adopted by the Ohio Republican Convention is like all other platforms that have been adopted by Republican conventions. Colored Republicans will not be fooled any more. If the Administration is sincere in its many declaration, let it reinstate those colored soldiers under the Foraker bill that has been introduced in the Senate by the Senator from Ohio, Mr. Foraker. The Republican party might as well understand now, that the colored voters of this country do not mean to be fooled any more. Something must be done, and quickly at that. Promises will no longer hold the colored voters in line. There are some Republicans who have declared that Senator Foraker cannot HON. WALTER I. SMITH, OF be nominated. Suppose he cannot be? Is this any argument against the loyalty and gratitude of colored Republicans whose cause he has championed? By no means. Senator Foraker has sacrificed everything for the colored man, and if there is but one vote that is in the possession of a colored delegate he should cast that vote for the man who has defended the rights of the colored soldiers. Gratitude is the keynote of this campaign which should be found in the hearts of every colored American. Nothing is to be expected from the colored officeholder. He should remain silent and hold his job and allow others who are not candidates for office to defend the rights of colored Americans. This is the time for colored men to show the Administration that they will for once show to the world their manhood. The President said that those colored soldiers are guilty. The investigation showed that the President's contention is not borne out by facts. If fifteen men are attacked by a mob and one of the mob is killed by some one man of the fifteen, without positive evidence must the entire fifteen be convicted of murder? Admitting that the killing was not justified, suppose the guilty party is discovered, should be adjudged guilty without trial? Certainly the Attorney General will not say yes. Take every department of the Government in which colored Americans are employed, is it right and proper that they should be "Jim Crowed"? These wrongs should be righted, and the discrimination in the several departments of the Government should be eradicated. Let something be done. The Editor. be paid, allowing $2 per day, seventy two judges for two days would amount to $288, which added to the $350.40 would total $638.40 at the highest. But why this unnecessary expense? This whole matter will be laid before the National Committee. --- What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard The local politician is the amusing individual now. He is seen upon every corner, and is seen at the door of every candidate. The Blaine Invincibles have decided to select another candidate because Bob Keys of Maryland has been selected to manage the Horner-Flathers campaign. The Administration ticket is on the eve of a breakdown. My friend, Attorney L. M. King, declares that he will soon launch his ticket. Who his running mates are I am unable to state. Dr. Wilder is in a lost cause, and just where to go he does not know. It is about time for the colored Democrat to come out from under cover. If Bryan will win the colored Brother will be numerous. The Independent League will put its own actet in the field. The colored Republicans in Ohio are divided. Many of them are on COUNCIL, BLUFFS, IOWA. the Taft band wagon. My friend, Fred Moore, of the New York Age, was not permitted to speak at the love-feast last week. Fred wanted to attack Senator Foraker, but he was not permitted. Fred returned to New York a wiser and a better man. Register Vernon was royally received in New York last week. By the way, I understand that Register Vernon is slated to second the nomination of Secretary Taft. I wonder if the report is true. Certainly this cannot be so. I shall wait for developments. The local statesmen have decided to work for the coin. Unless that article is forthwith coming the boys will not work. My genial friend, Attorney P. W. Frisby, is doing great business. He has as much as he can do. Well, he is a hustler. Mr. M. C. Field is still handling the race problem. Just what my friends will do with it I am unable to state. The Dolliver bill will die a natural death. Mr. Dolliver has caused a great deal of anxiety by introducing that bill in the Senate. There was a lively time in West Washington last week. One ticket was nearly captured by the Administration forces. ROUNDER. OUR IOWA CONGRESSMAN FROM THE NINTH DISTRICT. The Hon. Walter I. Smith, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, whose cut and biography appear in this week's issue, is serving his fourth term in Congress. Judge Smith, as he is familiarly known among his friends, is one of the most popular members in the Iowa delegation, and has a host of friends among the members of the Sixtieth Congress, both Republican and Democrat, on account of his kind and genial disposition. He is always surrounded b ya crowd of friends when he is telling a good story. You will always find him in his committee room hard at work when not on the floor of the House. He is a ready debater, and when he takes the floor he receives the greatest attention from both Democrats and Republican, and the galleries are always crowded when it is known that Judge Smith of Iowa is going to address the House. Judge Smith is a member of the Committee on Appropriation, one of the most important committees of the House, and he is working his way up the line on this committee and stands the third member of the committee. The voters of the Ninth Congressional District of Iowa should feel proud to have such an able representative in Congress as Judge Smith. The Ninth District has not had such a brilliant Representative in Congress since the death of the late Congressman W. J. Sapp, and The Bee feels safe in saying that it will only be a matter of time when Judge Smith will come to the United States Senate. ATTORNEY SCOTT TURNS THE MEETING There were fully one thousand Republicans attended a Republican meeting in Fisherman's Hall, South Washington, Monday night. The meeting was' worked up by Aaron annd Lem Bradshaw and others in the interest of the Horner and Flathers ticket. Addresses were delivered by Sidney Bieber, chairman of the Election Board; Attorney R. R. Horner, E. M. Hewlett, and others. Seated in the rear of the hall was Attorney Armond W. Scott, of the ATTORNEY A. W. SCOTT. local bar. Several Republicans in the hall who knew Attorney Scott insisted that he make a speech. He was carried deliberately upon the shoulders of several Republicans to the platform and requested to speak. Attorney Scott received the greatest ovation of any speaker, Candidates Horner and Chairman Bieber nnot excepted. Attorney Scott said that he knew Mr. Horner, and had nothing to say against him. After paying a high tribute to Senator Foraker and what he had done for the colored Americans in this country he concluded his address by saying that he would have to be consistent, that he was for W. Calvin Chase for delegate. The applause was deafening, and the ovation given Attorney Scott was a surprise to the Horner and Flatthers supporters. The meeting was turned into a Chase meeting by the adroit speech of Attorney Scott. DISTRICT PRIMARIES It has been said that the coming District primaries will be fairly conducted. The Bee, as well as other people, see those who have charge of the primaries visiting districts and holding up Republicans and using all kinds of persuasive arguments to support candidates in which they are interested. This does not look like a fair deal is coming. Mr. Sidney Bieber, the chairman of the Election Committee, has declared that every set of delegates will be permitted to have one judge of his own selection in the booths. If this is done then the candidates will be satisfied. This will give the appearance of fairness, at any rate. Don't forget March 18th. Prof. Booker T. ashington will lecture at the Metropolitan Church. Attorney George F. Collins will make a protest to the National Committee. Look out for fraud in the coming election for delegates. The address of Attorney Scott at the Republican meeting in South Washington Monday night carried the house. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss Beatrix L. Chase. Two Chinamen were hanged last Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pa., for the murder of two of their countrymen. The indications are that Washington got the new Union Station before it was ready. Many of the residents are having considerable trouble in the transmission of their letters. The National Capital is like a surging sea, never at rest. It took twenty-five minutes to introduce and pass a bill in the Senate last Tuesday by which the Secretary of War was instructed to give a deed to certain property to Sidney Bieber. The Commissioners do not favor a bill for, absolute prohibition, but favor high license and stricter saloon regulations. It is said that the Weather Bureau officials are "receiving a number of long-range weather predictions." Mr. Ralph Qualls, of Dayton, has arrived in this city to fill a position in the Government service. The country recognizes in Mr. J. A. Lankford merit and ability as an architect and prize him for that, and not for the color of his skin. We need more skill and ability and less "Negro," and first-class workmen will always be employed. The Dayton Observer says "You should read The Bee of Washington, D. C., issued February 29th." Mr. W. P. Dabney, the editor of the Union, Cincinnati, has been appointed to the position of Assistant Paymaster at Cincinnati. A banquet in his honor was given by the citizens on the 2nd instant.

The labor leaders insist on having a practical printer as the head of the Government Printing Office. The Commissioners gave a public hearing yesterday on the Sunday observance in the District of Columbia in order to get the sentiment of the people residing here. There is still considerable interest being manifested in the revival at the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church. The reports from the supervising principals include recommendations for changes and repairs in many of the school buildings of the District. Dr. S. A. Knopf, of New York, has entered suit for $100,000 against the Philadelphia North American for alleged misquotation. The trial of Albert Brown, nineteen years old, convicted of murdering his brother, was begun last Tuesday in Criminal Court No. 1. Mr. J. C. Napier, according to reports, believes if Mr. Taft is made president he will influence the Southern sentiment. Bishop Goodsell will preside over the Annual Conference of the M. E. Church which is to meet on the 25th instant in the Metropolitan Church, Baltimore. Quite a number of applicants desire to join the Conference. It is said that Chancellor Heiskell has issued an order in Memphis, Tenn., prohibiting the colored Elks of that city from styling themselves as Benevolent Protective Order of Elks or the use of the name "Elks" or other emblems used by the fair-skinned members of the Order. It is stated that Prof. W. G. Hynes will solicit funds for the Roger Williams University. It is unofficially stated that the Czar has commuted the death sentence imposed on General Stoessel, for surrendering Port Arthur, to ten years' imprisonment in a fortress. The Senate District Committee is to inquire as to the safety of the public and private school buildings of the District of Columbia. M. Ransdell, of Louisiana, has introduced a bill to create a new executive Department of Transportation and Public Works. Jason Brown, the oldest and only living son of the famous JohnBrown, celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday anniversary at his home last week near Akron, Ohio. A prohibition mass meeting was held last Sunday afternoon at the Mount Vernon Place MethodistEpiscopal Church. Jan Kubelik, after being away from this city for seven years, gave a violin recital at the Columbia theater last Sunday night. The theater RAG RUGS POPULAR ADMITTED TO HAVE BEAUTY AND ARTISTIC CHARM. Perfection of Weave and Design Also Gives Them an Interest—Some Ideas for Furnishings in Proper Blends. Hand woven rag rugs are no longer confined to country house and bungalow use. Their beauty and artistic charm have won for them a place among the unpretentious apartment, studio and bedroom furnishings. Their rare tones and blending of colors make them a harmonious note in any but really elegant surroundings, and the perfection of their weave and design gives them an interest that is lacking in many of the more expensive styles of floor covering. Now that some of the city settlements have taken up the rug weaving craft, and other institutions are turning out hand-woven rag style rugs in their own designs and in patterns made to order, there is an excellent chance to obtain rugs of any desired size, coloring and style. They are inexpensive and when made by reliable weavers the dyes are all vegetable and the material of the best suitable for the purpose. Vegetable dyes are used exclusively for these rugs when they are properly made, and when certain tints are required the greatest care is given to their reproduction in the firm cotton cloth used in rug weaving. Other dyes are said not to withstand the light and the general wear and tear, while the cleaning necessary to keep almost any kind of floor covering looking well is apt to prove disastrous to all but vegetable dyed rug rugs. The peacock blues and greens, the browns yellows and greens dyed after this method are exquisite and, what is equally important, the colors are lasting. Some of the rugs of a solid tone with heath, white warp have striped borders in imitation of the weaving patterns in use half a century or more ago. Others are made in checks, while still others have a hit and miss design that is quaint, to say the least. If one has a bedroom wall on which butterflies or certain varieties of flowers predominate as a decorative figure, then rugs, following this same idea, are easily made to order at any of the places where this work is done. A genulinely effective and unusual rug rug seen the other day at a rug exhibition had butterflies of pale yellow and brown across the border of a yellowish brown rug. The butterflies looked as though they had been worked in afterward, for they were a closer weave than the body of the rug. The same idea was carried out in a bird design for a border on a studio rug. For dens and studios these quiet door mats are most attractive. In the dull rich greens and dark tones favored by owners of studios and dens they are more satisfactory and harmonious than an inferior Oriental rug. For bedrooms and bathrooms a rug rug has few equals in the way of floor coverings. The most delicate plinks, blues, violets and yellows may be had for bedroom use to match the color of the other furnishings, while for bathroom floors rugs of various sizes are offered in more practical shades. As they are easily washed the delicacy of the color really makes very little difference, and certainly a light colored rug is daintier in a white bathroom. One feature of these rugs, and especially of the coarsely woven ones, is that they do not hold the dust. They are so loosely woven that dust filters through the meshes and the rug itself escapes the dirt that would cling to almost any other style of rug. Stuffed Apples. A Boston cooking school teacher recommends the following rule for stuffed apples: Remove a thick slice from the stem end of large apples suitable for baking. Then scoop out some of the pulp, making large cavities. Cut one-third the pulp that has been scooped out into small pieces. Add an equal quantity or maraschino cherries and pecan nuts, both cut in pieces. Put the mixture in the apple cups and set the cups in a shallow pan. Sprinkle each with a teaspoonful of sugar. Bake long enough to soften the apples, but not long enough for the cup to lose its shape. Take the apples from the oven and add to each a teaspoonful of maraschino and sherry To Clean Skirts. Hang the skirts on the line; give them a good beating, then whisk them off with a clean brush and dampen in ammonia and warm water. If there are any spots rub with a sponge or black cloth (if the skirt is black) dipped in equal parts of alcohol, ammonia and water. After the skirt is thoroughly cleansed, brushed and dried, lay it on a skirt board and pln each platt down in its proper fold, cover the skirt with a piece of woolen goods which has been dampened, then press. Reheat Cereals When cooking any kind of breakfast food cook enough for two mornings. What is left from the first morning put in a bowl and mold. Next morning turn bowl upside down in colander over saucepan of boiling water and heat thoroughly. You will find the breakfast food just as good the second morning as the first. 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 pineapples. Serve with French dressing. RECIPE FOR PIE CRUST. Care In Its Preparation Is a Highly Important Matter. Pastry flour made by the old process of grinding is usually considered best for pastry, but any good flour will answer. For the shortening, butter, and lard, half and half, is best, though clarified drippings of beef, chicken or pork may be utilized. To make a good plain pie crust, allow for each pie that is to have two crusts a neapelling cup sifted flour, a scant half cup shortening, a saltspoonful each salt and baking powder, and enough cold water to mix stiff. Have all ingredients and utensils cold, Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Then cut in the lard or rub in with the tips of the fingers, until the flour feels "mealy." Add cold water, a little at a time, to mix to a stiff dough, toss out on a lightly floured molding board and pat down to about half an inch in thickness. Flour the rolling pin, then with a light, deft touch roll out the crust into an oblong sheet. Put the butter on in little dabs here and there, sprinkle lightly with flour, roll over and over, turn half around, pat out and roll again. Then roll over and over like a jelly roll and divide. In the center. If there is time, set these in the ice chest, each piece turned on end-with-the rings of pastry on top. When hard and chilled, take out and roll one piece to fit the plate with an inch to spare. Double over, lift lightly and lay in the tin. Press down the center so there will be no air bubbles and let the edge of the crust come just to the edge of the plate. Brush the rim with cold water and dust the bottom crust lightly with the fingers dipped in flour or brush with the white of an egg to prevent soaking. Roll out some of the paste into a strip half an inch wide and place on the edge. Turn in the filling and if an upper crust is to be used, as in the case of a mince or apple pie, wet the rim again before putting on the upper crust. Roll out the latter in the same way as the under. Fold over and make several fancy slashes in the center to allow for the escape of steam, then lift onto the pie. Press the edges of the crust lightly but closely together and push the two crusts away from the edge of the plate which gives them a chance to expand. Bake in a moderate oven. PRESERVED APPLES ARE GOOD. How They May Be Made Ready for Immediate Use. Pare and core as many.apples as will cover the bottom of a preserve kettle, eight or nine large ones will fill a medium sized dish. Allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Make a rich sirup, when it boils clear drop in the apples and the peel of a lemon cut thin. They should boll slowly, turning them over occasionally; if they are good they will keep their shape and look transparent. About three-quarters of an hour will be long enough to cook them, when they look yellow and clear they are done. Lift them into a dish sufficiently deep to hold the juice. When the fruit is done let the sirup boll a few minutes longer then pour it over the apples. Ornament with a preserved green-gage on the top of each apple. Blanch sweet almonds and place them in a circle around the gage. White Ribboners' Mince Pie 3 For those who object to mince pies as usually made, on the score of their being non-temperature, the following excellent recipe is commended: To three bowls of chopped meat allow one bowl of suet, seven bowls of chopped apples, three bowls of seeded raisins, three bowls of sugar, a half pound of chopped prunes, a quarter pound of shredded citron, a plant of strong coffee, a quart of currant or grape jelly and a tablespoonful each of salt, cinnamon, allspice and cloves, with a teaspoonful each of mace and pepper. Add the liquor in which the meat was boiled with the grated rind and juice of two lemons and a little vinegar to give the necessary tartness. Scald as soon as made and pack in close covered glass jars to prevent fermentation. "Kitchen Minded." "Kitchen minded" is an epithet applied to women who are too much engrossed with domestic affairs. The word is evidently meant as a reproach. No doubt there are women who give too much time to the kitchen, as there are others who give too little. Who will undertake to decide just how much time is enough? That a woman should grow to like the place in which she passes most of her time is not strange. She might become parlor-minded; but many, like George Elliot, enjoy a clean kitchen best of all. Baked Cabbage An excellent way to utilize cold cabbage is to put it in a baking dish and pour over it sufficient dressing to cover, made in the proportion of one tablespoonful each of butter and flour to one cupful of milk. Pour over this one well beaten egg, and cover with bread crumbs dusted with melted butter. Bake 45 minutes. When Icing Runs. When boiled icing runs, as it will persist in doing if not taken off at exactly the right minute. it can be stiffened by putting the liquid, even after it has been mixed with the white of egg, back on the stove for a few minutes. Set the dish on an asbestos mat and stir till the icing begins to look creamy. FOR PERFECT SOUP IT MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BOIL HARD. Old-Time Recipe for One Kind That Has Been Highly Praised—Deviled Kidneys and Other Chafing Dish Specialties. In Goldsmith's amusing essay on that imaginary character, Mr. The. Cibber, he speaks of his fondness of the good things of this life. He loved good clothes and good living, and was not too particular how he obtained them. In his old age he ate ortolans and green peas and drank gravy soup when he could get it. To make this soup take six pounds of shin of beef and a large knuckle of veal, to which quantity of meat allow six quarts of boiling water. If any trimmings of poultry can be had so much the better. For the flavor there must be two slices of lean ham of the best quality. Further, have a quarter of a pound of batter, four carrots, four onions, one turtle, a small head of celery, one blade of mace, a bunch of sage wort, five cloves, nine pepper-corns; salt to taste and add three good lumps of sugar. Cut the meat into pieces of three inches square, put the butter into the soup boiler and slightly brown the meat, stirring up the pieces from below with a wooden spoon. Be very careful not to let them burn in the least. When slightly browned stir in the boiling water, and as the scum rises at once take it off. When no more soum is thrown up put in the vegetables and spices. The soup must now smimmer gently for six hours, and there should be no further stirring up from the bottom. When the six hours have passed remove it from the stove, let it settle, skim off the fat as well as can be done now, and then pass the soup through a cloth or strainer. Every particle of fat can be taken off when quite cold. Now carefully take off the clear soup without moving the sediment that remains, which should not be wasted, but used for gravies for poultry. The art of making good soup is in never allowing it to boil hard. Flavoring is one essential, and if in making this soup both be attended to all will agree that Mr. The. Clibber was a man of good taste. Deviled kidneys are prepared by taking two fresh, firm lamb kidneys, washing and skimming them, cutting them open in the usual way and fastening the sides back with tiny skewers. Then take a lump of butter and heat in a chafing dish until it is very hot. Put in the kidneys, cook them three or four minutes, turning from side to side. Then turn the slit side up and put a bit of butter in the center of each. sprinkle over a little salt, some paprika, mustard and chopped parsley. Risotto is made by using a quarter pound of cooked rice, one small onion finely chopped, butter, some grated cheese, pepper and salt. Put the onion in the chafing dish with the butter and fry until it begins to brown. Then add the rice and a cup of good soup stock. When the stock has been absorbed and the rice seems tender but firm, stir in the salt, pepper and cheese. A little garlic is sald to improve the flavor of the risotto, which is an Italian dish. Shrimps cooked with rice are appetizing and easily prepared. Take half a pint of fresh shrimps and pick them over carefully. Melt a large piece of butter in the chafing dish, stir in half an onion chopped fine, add a half cup of cold boiled rice, half a cup of sweet cream, the shrimps, a tablespoonful of tomato ketchup and let the whole cook gently for a few minutes, then serve in hot plates or on crisp slices of toast. Macaroni De Bos. One pint of oysters, one stock of celery, liquor from one can of tomatoes, one-half pound of American cheese, one package of macaroni, one-quarter pound butter, salt and pepper to taste. Boll the macaroni for 30 minutes, blanch in cold water; prepare liquor from oysters and tomatoes, cut celery fine and boil until celery is tender. Throw in the oysters and allow the edges to curl. Have macaroni in large baking dish and put all together. Put on broken or grated cheese and mix thoroughly. Place little lumps of butter over the top and allow to bake to a golden brown. When the Clock Stops. Take it down, screw off the back, blow in it to take out some of the dust. See that the pendulum is straight, have a little kerosene in a cup, dip a straw in the oil so that about one drop will adhere to it. Apply the oil to the frame where the axle comes through, putting about one drop on each axle at back and face of works. Also put a few drops on the small wheel where the pendulum swings from. Screw on back, set clock back in place, start it, and it will run for a year or two. Cream Finnan-Haddie- Take one-half pound of finnan-haddle, pick apart, and cook in one heaping tablespoonful of butter till heated through; then stir in one tablespoonful of flour, moistened in one cupful of cream, or rich milk, and let it cook for five minutes; add the yolk of one egg, a dash of pepper, and one teaspoonful of grated cheese. When smooth serve immediately on hot toast and garnish with parsley. Granberry Frappes. Stew one quart of berries with one half cup of water. Strain, add to the three two cups of sugar and the juice one lemon. Serve in cups with ice of candied orange peel on top. OLDEST HARVARD GRADUATE. C. H. Parker of Boston, Member of Class of 1833. Boston.—Samuel D. Parker, Boston's new fire commissioner, has the distinction of being the son of the oldest living graduate of Harvard college. Charles Henry Parker, 92 years old in May, was a member and secretary of "a class of seven that graduated from Harvard in 1833. He has lived all his life in Boston, where he was born. Some of the changes that have come over the college and community since he was an undergraduate are reflected [Illustration of a man in a suit and tie]. In a letter which Mr. Parker recently wrote to the Harvard Bulletin. In those days the college catalogue was a phaphet of 12 pages, and there were 200 students in the undergraduate department. The college faculty consisted of 12 members—the Hon. Josiah Quincy, president; the Rev. Henry Ware, the Rev. John S. Popkin, John Farrar, Edward T. Chadning, Charles Follen, Charles·Beck, Cornellus C. Felton, Benjamin Pierce, tutor to seniors; Joel Gilles, tutor to sophomores; Henry S. McKean, tutor to juniors, and Andrew Preston Peabody, tutor to freshmen. Dr. Peabody continued in the service of the university much later than any of the others and he died in 1893. Charles Henry Parker comes of a long-lived family, his father, of whom the fire commissioner is namesake, Samuel Dunn Parker, died in 1873 at the age of 93, being a member of the class of 1799 in Harvard. Mr. Parker is in excellent health, reads without glasses and has the use of all his faculties unimpaired. Mr. Parker has been twice married, but both his wives are dead. He has had eight children of whom five survive, three sons and two daughters. Two of his sons are Harvard men, the present fire commissioner being a member of the class of 1891, and Charles Henry Parker Jr. of the class of 1896. Schools in Remote Sections of Texas Attended Only by Mexicans. Carrizo, Tex.—There are a number of communities in this part of the Rio Grande border where the English language is not spoken. The American population of these border counties is very small and is confined al- American School in Rural Ranch District of Texas. most entirely to the larger towns. In the rural ranch districts the Mexican children are brought up with no knowledge of the English language. They have little conception of the meaning of United States citizenship. The public free school system of the state extends even to the most remote parts of the big commonwealth and the Mexican children are placed on the same footing as other children who live in the more enlightened parts of Toxas. There are several public schools in the border counties which are attended exclusively by Mexicans. The teachers of these schools are Mexicans and some of them have no knowledge of English. They conduct their teaching in Spanish and their pupils are educated in that language alone. Only little kids usually are found in these schools. The school buildings are small adobe structures. Leaves Hotel on Account of Pets Leaves Hotel on Account of Pet. "Love me, love my dog," is Miss Elsie Janis' sentiment, and she even goes further and demands the same courtesies for her pet canine that are accorded her. Because the management of the Elton hotel at Waterbury, Conn. would not allow Miss Janis to take her dog to her suite in the hotel, she declined to remain in that hostelry, but after her performance of "The Hoyden" at Poll's theater, entered her automobile with her traveling companions and was given a midnight spin to New Haven, where they remained over night. She refused to even take the customary luncheon at the Elton after the show. Siberia's Native Population. "The entire native population of Siberia does not exceed 700,000." TRIBUTESTOWRITER MEREDITH, "THE MASTER," CELE . BRATES EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY. His Long and Hard Struggle for Recognition—Now Regarded as First in Ranks of English London.—George Meredith, whose eightieth birthday was celebrated the other day by the pouring forth of glowing tributes to his genius by the entire British press, has been hailed as "The Master" for many years by the English critics and by English writers. "The king of us all," he was termed by Robert Louis Stevenson, who was one of the most enthusiastic admirers of Meredith's genius. It was Stevenson, too, who used to speak of "Rhoda Fleming" as "the strongest thing in English literature since Shakespeare," adding quaintly that if Shakespeare could have read the work he would have jumped and cried: "Here's a fellow." Despite all the acclaim, both from a large part of the public and from virtually the entire literary world, with which he is now greeted, it has been only during the last 27 years that Meredith has come into his own. Not until 1885, when "Diana of the Crossways" appeared and when the novelist was.57 years old, did Meredith obtain general recognition. "No man," one of Balzac's biographers has written, "ever battered more furiously at the gates of fame with masterpiece after masterpiece and no man ever saw those gates yield more slowly inch by inch." If those words were true of Balzac, they are infinitely more true A. GEORGE MEREDITH. of Meredith. The English novelist did not begin to attain fame, in the general sense, until he was almost as old as Balzac was when he died, famous for years. George Eliot and Swinburne, Browning and Tennyson, might write and speak in praise of Meredith during those long years of obscurity, but they could not force the public to take Meredith to its heart. Even to-day Meredith is not a "popular novelist." But his genius is recognized, his place is assured, and he stands in the very forefront of men of letters who write in the English language. And Meredith, in the opinion of the critics, has both what he is because he remained true to himself. No literary drudgery for bread, no writing out of his heart fill book after book which failed to bring him fame, no repetition of disappointment ever made Meredith weaken one jot in holding to ideas and ideals which his genius told him were the true ones. By sheer strength and persistence, little less, perhaps, than by his brains, he has made the world crown him with the laurel. As long ago, as 1862 Swinburne spoke of Meredith as "one of the leaders of English literature." By this date Meredith had printed two volumes of poems and several novels, among them "The Ordeal of Richard Leverol," now ranked as one of the best of the author's works. It was as a poet, indeed, that Meredith first began to write. In 1851 he published "Poems," and from then, throughout his active literary life, he has published books of poems every few years. But, while his verse has many admirers, his fame must rest on his work as a writer of prose. One of the difficulties in the road of Meredith's becoming a "popular" novelist has been his style. Critics have been attacking for years his mode of expressing many of his thoughts. His style has been condemned and has been ridiculed, but Meredith has given no heed to his critics, and, as the years have come and gone, has become more Meredithian, if possible, in his language, than before. "Too involved, too obscene, too inbounded with verbiage, badly constructed"—such have been some of the high literary crimes and misdemeanors charged against the Meredith style. His style as to obscuity has even been compared to that of Calyx. But the novelist has remained lively in these shafts. Meredith was born on February 12, 1825, in Hampshire. He was educated partly in Germany, and then read for the bar. He soon tainted, however from the law to literature. Personally Meredith has a legion of friends. He is described as handsome, courteous and polished, while he is declared one of the best conversationists in England. TREASURY POST FOR COOLIDGE. Nominated to Succeed J. H. Edwards as Assistant Secretary. Washington—Louis A. Coolidge, who has been nominated by the president to be assistant secretary of the treasury, in place of J. H. Edwards, resigned, directed the literary bureau of the Republican national committee in 1904, and has been editor of the Congressional Directory and indexer of the Congressional Record. From 1883 to 1888 he was connected with the Springfield Republican and became private secretary to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE. setts, and continued in that position until 1891. For several years Mr. Coolidge has represented the Boston Journal and the New York Commercial Advertiser in Washington. He is a native of Massachusetts, 46 years old, and a graduate of Harvard. Although Mr. Coolidge has given a great deal of attention to politics and newspaper work, he has found time to write several books, among them "The Show at Washington" and "Klondike and the Yukon Country," besides contributing regularly to different magazines of the country. Mr. Coolidge is a prominent figure in clubdom, being a member of the University and Republican clubs of New York; the Cosmos, University and the Gridiron clubs of Washington, being the president of the last named in 1904. A WEIRD CARRIAGE. Venerable Fragment of Antiquity Still to Be Seen in Malta. London.—To a world accustomed to ride in its automobiles, there is something almost uncanny about this venerable fragment of antiquity, which may be seen almost any day in the streets of Malta. The vehicle belongs to an elderly lady who has come down in the world, and this clusy calessa is practically the only remaining testimony to her former greatness. The old dame is very religious, and, though poor, still drives to and from church in her remarkable carriage. It speaks volumes for her courage that she should consent to enter the calessa at all for if the horse were to Remarkable Carriage Still In Use In Malta. fall, the occupant would have quite as uncomfortable an experience as the unfortunate tenant of a hansom cab when the steel comes to grief. And when one considers that the horse attached to her conveyance is quite as out-of-date as the charlot, the aged lady's pluck seems greater than ever. Still, noblesse oblige, and true to the traditions of her erstwhile grandeur, the aged dame sallies forth in all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of her crazy carriage, and will no doubt continue to do so until death claims either her or her ancient horse. Trick of the Chinaman. - One particular fact developed in the course of the trial in the Massachusetts superior court of nine Chinames charged with the inurder of one of their, countrymen, and that is no Chinaman when using a revolver levels it straight at a person or at an object, but rests the muzzle of the "gun" on his left forearm, and with the right hand holding the butt discharges the weapon. Counsel wanted an explanation, but could not obtain it, and later a member of one of the tongs in the corridor was asked for a reason. "Don't know why a gun is used in that manner." was the response, "unless it insures more secrecy than the American way. For instance, a Chinaman may wrap the gun in the folds of his sleeve, leaving only the barrel hole free. Then a shot may be fired, when it would appear as though the one who discharged the weapon had his arms folded. There would be no glint of steel and nothing but a curl of smoke to tell who discharged the weapon." THE BEE 1109 Eye St., N. W. Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

If reports be true, the coming election of delegates to the Republican Convention will be a farce. It will be the greatest farce of any election that has ever been held in this city. The claim of those who are attempting to run the machine seem to think that they have the machine, and for that reason no other candidate will have a show. Mr. George F. Collins, the colored member of the Committee,has been ignored by the two white members, Mr. Bieber and Mr. Cranford. Mr. Bieber is a candidate for National Committee and it is not natural that he will allow judges to be appointed inimical to his ticket. The Horner Flathers' meetings are being attended by Mr. Bieber, and these meetings have been and are endorsing him for National Committee. What show will other candidates have if they are not permitted to have judges in the boxes? If there are three tickets in the field then each ticket should have a judge. This will certainly give the appearance of fair play. On the other hand, if Mr. Bieber and Mr. Cranford name the judges, in the absence of Mr. Collins, there will certainly be a contest. Mr. Collins has been willing and is willing today to give all candidates for delegates a fair deal. In the opinion of. The Bee the election this time will no doubt be the greatest farce in the history of politics. THREE REASONS WHY MR. W. CALVIN CHASE SHOULD BE ELECTED — A. R. GRIGGS, IR. GIVES HIS REASONS The occasion of the election of delegates to the Republican National Convention affords an opportunity for the colored people to show to the world that they are a thinking people, capable, and willing to do the right thing at the right time. As a race, young in the present day civilization, we naturally have some faults of our own and a great many more that we learned from our Anglo-Saxon brother. It has been often said that we as a race were ingrates, that the sense of gratitude had no part in our being, which of course is not true, and since it is not true it is our bounden duty at all times to show to the world that the accusation is unfounded and is not inn any sense a characteristic of our race. To in part disprove this idea is the first reason that we should support the candidacy of Hon. W. Calvin Chase as delegate to the Republican Convention to be held in Chicago, June, 108. In the face of present circumstances, or for that matter under any conditions that could arise, it would be inconsistent with our idea of advancement to forget the deeds of this man to satisfy the ambition of some would-be leader. His deeds for the advancement of the cause of right for the American Negro are innumerable; his words fall as firebrands upon the souls of our persecutors and accusers, and oftimes they are made to flee from the wrath to come. His thoughts are only for our uplift and our rights. As thoughtful men, in making our choice, let us do it by elimination by comparison. Compare the records of all. Study Though he was honored he could not be placed in command of soldiers, for he was incapable of leadership; but, gentleman, in Mr. Chase we have a man who not only stood in the thickest of the fray and did the fighting, but also is he a man capable of leadership in its broadest sense. He is well in touch with the affairs of the nation in all respects; on all questions of national importance he has ideas that are brilliant—that emanate from a trained intellect. With that keen legal foresight he is not only capable of representing the Negro race, but the whole people. His prominence has brought him in contact with men of affairs; his counsel is often sought and his advice frequently taken in matters of powerful moment. His intellectual qualifications together with his vast knowledge of prominent men and national questions is the second reason we should send him as our delegate to the convention to meet in June. You might say that others know some men of prominence and can possibly learn something of national affairs, but the gravity of the occasion does not admit of experiments. Only the true and the tried should be entrusted with the message that we must, and will send to the people of these United States. We are not infallible, we are liable to mistakes; and for that reason we should not experiment, for fear of mistakes to choose the wrong man at this particular time will no doubt retard the progress of the Negro race for possibly fifty years. We have a message to send, a message that the American people must receive and must heed, and we must put it in the hands of a messenger who fears not the enemy, but who will break through their lines and place the message where it will reach its destination. These shackles must be loosened, the cause of right must prevail, the Republican party must speak in no uncertain tones, and it behooves us to send a MAX, so that if the enemy is so fortified that our message cannot reach the American people, he can return to us and tell us the reason why, and tell the Republican party the results of their folly. On the strength of his statement the New York Times has already warned the Republican party and ere the battle is o'er he will be heard in many quarters. So, our third reason is that the gravity of the occasion calls for a man of the type of Mr. Chase. Every interest that can possibly be benefited by representation in that convention is working day and night to send its best men to uphold their cause. The Lily Whites, the Trusts, the Bankers, the Railroads, in fact all interests that will in all probability be considered in the platform of that Convention will be there to plead their cause; so let us send the man most available. We need not say "God, give us men a time like this demands," for he is here — and let us use him. In conclusion I ask you as a man to do your duty. It is plain*before you: be a man, and the Unseen Eye, will look upon you with approbation. Every step in the right direction leads us a hundred steps nearer to the possession of our long-lost liberties, and with these regained we can some day in the not far distant From the Atlanta Constitution. The complete rout of the Foraker forces in the Ohio Republican convention seems to conclusively foreshadow the success of SecretaryTaft before the National Convention next June. Not one cog or splinter of the Foraker machine remains to show even the wreck of what was a very pretentious or hopeful movement to undermine Judge Taft. His home State has written its endorsement on his candidacy with a unanimity and an aggressive exuberance that must exert a telling effect on other doubtful delegations. Since his return to this country from his globe-girdling tour, and since the second self-elimination of Mr. Roosevelt, Judge Taft's stock has appreciated with significant rapidity. As a result, Judge Taft, at the present time, has hopelessly outdistanced his competitors within. Republican ranks. All trustworthy and logical indications point to his nomination at Chicago. The Constitution hopes that such will prove to be the case. With the issue between Taft and Bryan, the South is reasonably certain of fair treatment. Taft knows conditions in the South better than any Republican now in public life, with the possible exception of Mr. Roosevelt. His experience on the Federal bench, where his circuit reached far into the South, brought him in intimate contact with Southern conditions, and has given him a knowledge and grasp of problems in this section not possessed by any of the men offering in opposition to him. Both Bryan and Taft have given earnest of their friendship for the South. These are all the guarantees the South could ask, under existing conditions, with regard to the outcome of the pending presidential election. If, as now appears probable, when the flag drops next summer it will be Bryan and Taft in the running, the South can abide the result with hope for Democratic success, but with equanimity in the event of defeat. And if the verdict is for Taft, there will be much at which to rejoice in the knowledge that the next president, Like Mr. Roosevelt, will be a big, broad, patriotic American, of whom the whole country will have the right to feel proud. NEGRO PIONEERS IN INDIANA. (R. R. Wright, Jr., in the Southern Workman.) Between 1820 and 1855 a large number of Negroes became pioneers in Indiana. There were three classes of these pioneers: the first class and the largest were the free people of North Carolina and Virginia who were sent away by the Quakers; the second class were the slaves who were freed and sent out of the slave States to the free States by other agents; and the third were part slave and part free, being the children of their own masters and being manumitted by them and often brought by them to the Northern States, supplied with lands or funds to buy lands, and permitted to live in comparative ease. The differences in these groups must be realized by the student of the early economic history of the Northern Negroes. The first group was composed of persons manumitted by masters during life and by will after death, also of persons who had bought their own freedom and some whose freedom was bought for them. In most cases, though not in all, they were made to suffer the rigors of the life of a free man which, during the period here dealt with, and especially the latter half of it, were very hard indeed. This served, however, to bring out their best qualities; to teach forbearance, patience, and industry. The other group of people manumitted by their master-fathers and given lands had not known the rigors of slave life nor the hardships of the free Negro's life, as had most of the other group. They were, one easily sees, not fitted for pioneer life. The third group were least prepared. They were the ones recently emancipated and without training, sent from their homes to the new land. They had not known even the responsibility of caring for themselves; in most cases they were illiterate and ignorant and work was --- THE OHIO PLATFORM. It is not surprising to read platforms of Republican conventions, especially in presidential years. How easy it is for Republican Presidents to ignore the declarations and platforms of their party. Let us look at this platform and read it carefully. It declares a reduction of the Southern representation. The platform of 1900 declared the same thing in the National Convention that met at Philadelphia, Pa. The platform of 1906 declared at Chicago almost the same thing. It will be remembered that the National Suffrage League that convened in Chicago, Ill., at the time the National Republican Convention met there, and Senator Lodge, a member or chairman of the resolution committee, reluctantly inserted a plank in the platform to appease the Republican voters, and at no time after the election of both presidents, McKinley and Roosevelt, did either attempt to enforce the declarations of their party. So that the Ohio platform will amount to no more. What can Ohio declare, if that State were ever so willing and anxious to carry out the dictations in the recent platform adopted in the Republican convention? It means nothing; it is a bait to soothe the colored voters of the State and country. The Republican party has had every opportunity to protect the colored American from Democratic invasion. Why wait till every colored voter in the South is disfranchised? Why didn't President Roosevelt enforce the Constitution? Mr. Taft has already said in a speech at Tuskegee that the colored man must wait. In a recent speech by the same gentleman, delivered at Kansas City, Mo., did not Mr. Taft justify the South or compliment the Southern Democrats for disfranchising colored Americans without blood-shed? The Ohio platform means nothing, and the colored voters should not be fooled by such rot. If the Republicans of the country are sincere in their declarations of love and their advocacy of fair play for colored Americans, let the good work begin in the White House. Why wait until the next election? It is not necessary to wait until after the election next fall, but act now, and then the colored voter will have some faith in what is being said in Republican conventions. - PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. Continued from page 1. was crowded, several having had to stand throughout the evening. Emmanuel Loebela, garment presser, was arrested last week by the police in Chicago for distributing Emma Goldman's anarchistic circulars. While the Postoffice Department is trying to restore to normal conditions the disorganized city delivery mail service, complaints are still being made, which make matters look like they are growing worse. John F. Stevens, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, has issued a statement regarding the Panana Canal, which he prophesies a failure of the undertaking. Bishop Alexander Walters was loudly applauded, it is said, by the Ministers Union of the A. M. E. Church when he said, at the Lafayette Presbyterian Church in Jersey City, that the Negro ministers who were recently in conference in this city had indignantly rejected an invitation from the President of the United States. Mrs. Ella DeBurton Turner, wife of J. Milton Turner, former minister to Liberia, died last week at her home in St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. J. W. Johns, who died at Long Branch, N. J., last week, after a long illness, was born in Baltimore, Md., fifty-one years ago. Representative Hale, of Tennessee, addressed the Second Baptist Lycem last Sunday on "American Citizenship: Its Essential Elements." There will be no more hanging in the State of Virginia; all persons condemned to death will be electrocuted in the chair. When Minister Wu TingFang was asked at Pittsburg last week whether or not war was likely between China and Japan, his reply was, "Do you think it is likely that there will be war between England and the United States?" Secretary Taft has accepted an invitation to be present at the M-Street Metropolitan Church the 18th of this month to listen to an address by Prof. Booker T. Washington. Senator Perkins, of California, has NO POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE. The managers of the Booker T. Washington lecture, which is scheduled for Metropolitian A. M. E. Church for next Wednesday evening, deplore the circulation of a rumor to the effect that the attendance of certain prominent gentlemen of national fame is construed in some quarters as having especial political significance. The invitations extended have been of a very general character, without regard to personal, factional or political differences. All who come are expected to appear as a mark of respect to the usefulness and uplifting labors of Dr. Booker T. Washington, not to advance the interests of this or that candidate or to affect any political issue. Dr. Washington's address will not deal with politics, nor will any demonstration of a political nature be tolerated. Mr. Lassiter desires it understood that any statement by individuals, to the effect that the meeting is to be other than educational and an instructive review of the condition of the race along economic and practical lines, is false and intentionally misleading. ATTORNEY COLLINS PRQ TESTS. Attorney George F. Collins,a member of the Election Board, has entered his protest against the high-handed methods of Messrs. Bieber and Cranford. Chairman Bieber, states Attorney Collins, has had no meeting of the Election Committee, but has arbitrarily issued certain rules and regulations governing the election of delegates to the National Republican convention. Attorney Collins states that he has attended no meeting and has 'subscribed to no rules. Republicans throughout the city have denounced the high-handed methods of the alleged Election Committee. It is a question whether the National Committee will tolerate or endorse these high-handed methods. Chairman Bieber is playing hot and cold with those who have elevated him to the position he now holds. He first declared that he was for Speaker Cannon; it now appears that Bieber has gone over to Taft and the Administration. Attorney Horner declares that he is against Taft, but Chairman Bieber, who has since declared for Taft, is attending meetings urging Republicans to support the Flathers-Horner ticket. This looks bad for the chairman of the Election Committee to favor any particular candidate. It is true, nevertheless. There are thousands of Republicans in this city who will stand by Attorney Collins, who is anxious to give Republicans a fair deal and see that the votes are honestly counted for every candidate. Lem and Aaron Bradshaw, employees of the District government, are making an active canvass for Flathers, in violation of the executive order, so declared Col. William Murrell in a speech this week in West Washington. MINISTERS MEET. Baltimore, March 5. A public meeting in the interest of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker and the discharged colored soldiers was held here tonight. The speakers included Revs. A. L. Gaines, G. R. Weller, W. A. Blackwell, William M. Alexander, Dr. H. E. Young of this city, and Rev. Dr. S. L. Cororthers, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, Washington, D. C. In the speeches considerable animus was manifested toward President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Baltimore, March 4.—Rev. W. M. Moorman, a well-known Methodist minister, died at his home in the suburbs today. Two months ago, while trifming trees on his place, he accidentally cut his knee, and blood poisoning set in. Baltimore. March 4.—At a joint meeting last Monday at the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and R streets northwest, between the Baptist Ministerial Union of Baltimore and Washington, the divines in their several speeches showed their hostile feeling toward President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Maryland's disfranchising scheme was denounced in unmeasured terms. Every mention of Senator Foraker's name was cheered to the echo. The speakers included Revs. W. H. Brooks, Geo-W. Lee, W. J. Howard, W. D. Jarvis, S. L. Corrothers, James H. Lee, of this city; G. R. Weller, S. L. Crockett, F. R:Williams, Jones Watkins, W. M. Alexander and A. M. Molock, of Baltimore. Dr. Corrothers declared that ifTaft were nominated for the presidency the 794,000 colored voters in the North and West would voice their disapproval at the polls. Rev. P. C. Nead, of Baltimore, and Rev. I. Tolliver, of Washington, read papers on religious topics. A dinner, served by the ladies of the church, followed the meeting. The Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, has just returned to the city, after an absence of several days in aKnsas, where he was in attendance at the meeting of the Republican-StateConvention. The Bee is especially gratified to observe that Mr. Vernon was elected one of the Alternates at Large to Chicago. His associate alternates are gentlemen of high standing in the social and political life of the State one being a State Senator, another the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and the third a wealthy business man. Wyandotte county, which is the largest county in the State, sent a delegation to the State Convention instructed to vote for the Register for Alternate at Large. This delegation consisted of three colored and twenty-five white men, and when the Register's name was proposed it was received with cheers from all parts of the great Auditorium and he was elected by acclamation. Bishop G. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., has authorized Bishop J. W. Smith, of Washington, to exercise episcopal supervision over the presiding elders, pastors and churches of the A. M. E. Zion denomination in Washington and District of Columbia until the General Conference meets in Philadelphia in May. Bishop J. W. Smith preached and assisted the Sinking Fund Club last. Sabbath in raising $112 interest money for John Wesley Church. Mrs. Belle M. Jackson is president, and Mrs. J. W. Smith treasurer. OUR MISTAKES. It should not be presumed because a man is colored and commits an infamous offense that he should have any more sympathy than anyone else. White or colored men should not stand upon corners and make insulting remarks to women. no matter who they may be or what their vocation in life. Colored people make the mistake of attempting excuses for offenses committed by colored people. Many of them very often come to the conclusion, when a colored man is charged with an offense or charged with having insulted a white woman, he is necessarily innocent. He is no more innocent than a white man charged with having insulted a colored woman. Colored women are insulted by white men, but rarely punished. Many colored women are insulted by white men, but it seems that they get off with it. PROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH. Tickets are being rapidly sold for the important lecture to be delivered by Prof. Booker T. Washington, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church (Wednesday evening, March 18. This lecture will be the greatest and most important address that has yet been delivered by this distinguished educator. President Roosevelt and several members of his Cabinet have decided to attend and occupy seats in the pulpit. Also several members of the District and United States Supreme Court will also be present and listen to Mr. Washington. Those who desire to listen to Professor Washington had better secure their tickets at once, as the best seats are being sold rapidly. Some people in good circumstances receiving good salary from the Government and private income, take great delight in doing their fellow man in hard luck; at the same time are great Christians. A heap see but a few know. The Week in Society Miss Nellie E. Johnson, of Baltimore, and Mr. William D. Thompson, of Carlisle, Pa., are guests of Bishop and Mrs. J. W. Smith. Miss A. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lassiter have issued invitations for a complimentary dinner in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, to be given at their handsome residence, 1215 Seventeenth street northwest, Wednesday evening, at five o'clock. HIGH SCHOOL CADETS TO DRILL. As a feature of the entertainment provided for Dr. Booker T. Washington during his visit here next Wednesday, the entire battalion of High School Cadets, including the companies from M-Street and the Armstrong Manual Training School, will give an exhibition drill on Seventeenth street northwest, near R. I. avenue, in front of the residence of Mr. Henry Lassiter, whose dinner guest Dr. Washington will be. The drill begins promptly at five o'clock p.m., and will be under the command of Major Arthur Brooks. AUDITOR TYLER IN OHIO. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department, has returned from a visit to Columbus, Ohio, where he attended the State Convention and was accorded a hearty welcome by his host of followers in the Buckeye reservation. At his suggestion, Mr. A. H. Martin, of Cleveland, was elected an alternate delegate at large for the State of Ohio. DR. WASHINGTON COMING. "Wizard of Tuskegee" to Lecture at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Next Wednesday Evening — An International Event The coming of Dr. Booker T. Washington next Wednesday at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church is to be a gala affair. Ever since the announcement became public that the famous "Wizard of Tuskegee" was to lecture here, deep interest has been manifested in the event by all classes of our people, and the indications are that the great auditorium will be packed to the doors early in the evening and that late-comers will be turned away. Dr. Washington appears under the auspices of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and its allied organizations, inn response to a promise made many months ago. Mr. Henry Lassiter, who so successfully managed a similar affair nearly four years ago, is again at the head of the committee on arrangements. He has issued a large number of invitations to persons of national prominence, including the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, members of Congress and representatives of the Diplomatic Corps. The affair will take on the aspect of a truly international incident. Many of the persons invited are personal friends and acquaintances of Dr. Washington, and their presence is desired largely that they may be informed at first hand of the later developments in the progress of the millions of Negroes in this country. The tenor of the acceptances already received by Chairman Lassiter indicate that they, in no less a degree, are anxious to extend to the eminent Tuskegee educator renewed assurances of their confidence and esteem and to give expression to their undiminished interest in and sympathy for the uplifting work in which he is engaged. Among those who have signified their intention to be present on next Wednesday evening are Secretary William Howard Taft, Supreme Justice John M. Harlan and his son, Dr. Richard D. Harlan; the Peruvian Minister and a member of his staff; District Commissioner Henry L. West, and the Board of Education. Tentative promises contingent upon the appearance of no conflicting engagement, have been received from Vice President Fairbanks, Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain. Secretary Garfield, Attorney General Bonaparte, the Commissioner of Education, and several leading members of Congress, besides many local citizens of the highest standing. Dr. Washington's subject will be "The Advancement of the American People," with especial reference to the remarkable rise of the Negro in the educational, agricultural, industrial and moral equation, describing by example, statistics and pertinent anecdote the astounding part the race is playing in the economic and civic development of the Republic. It is stated most emphatically by the management that politics is to have absolutely no place in the discussion, and that no political significance can properly be attached to the presence of any of the distinguished visitors who may avail themselves of this opportunity to hear the race's foremost statesman on the topic nearest to his heart. Hon. Martin B. Madden, member of Congress from the Chicago District of Illinois, is one of the Negro's strongest friends, will preside and introduce the speaker of the evening, and Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the Senate, who comes from the best abolition stock of New England, will pronounce the benediction. Altogether it is expected that this will be the most satisfactory visit that Dr. Washington has ever paid to the Nation's Capital. CONFIRMATION AT ST.LUKE'S CHURCH Owing to the sudden death of Bishop Satterlee, of this Diocese, confirmation at St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, which was to have taken place last month, was unavoidably postponed. This rite will be administered Monday evening next, services beginning at eight o'clock. Mr. John Syphax, of 1814 Riggs street northwest, Master of Prince Hall Lodge, No. 14. F. & A.

Miss Annie Silence, of 2032 Thirteenth street northwest, has recovered from a serious attack of the gripe. Mrs. Irene Morgan, of 1930 New Hampshire avenue northwest, has been confined to her residence the past four weeks, occasioned by a severe sprain. This lady is under the immediate care of Dr. Stuart, of Dupont Circle. Last Friday Chief Justice Claybaugh, on the grounds that the power of an equity court cannot be involved in enjoining the prosecution of crime, dismissed the bill filed by Dr. A. P. Riedel and others against Major Richard Sylvester, chief of police, who raided them for working illegal Masonry in the District of Columbia. The case is still pending in the courts. The white brethren of the District of Columbia are behind the movement. (This is simply a forerunner of what we have predicted.) Rev. W. H. Moton has gone to Rockville, Md., and other parts of the State. Evangelistic work; will be gone one week. In the case of Machen, former superintendent of free delivery, of the Postoffice Department, he is simply reaping what he sowed in 1900. This brings out the old adage: We are born but we are not buried. Mrs. C. O. Fuller, who conducted a freedmen's school in Alexandria, Va., for a number of years, is dead. --- PLAN ALPINE CANAL WATERWAY TO ASCEND MOUNTAINS BY SYSTEM OF LOCKS. Latter Transformed Into Long Chain of Tubes Through Which Barges Are Elevated—When Descending Boats Glide Rapidly. Berlin.—It is a common belief that water will not run uphill. That this principle is not quite true, or only conditionally true, is proved by the fact that an eminent Italian canal engineer, Sig. Pietro Caminada, has worked out the plan of a canal over the Alps. The Alps are not to be bored by a tunnel. The canal is to be carried up to the summit and down the other side. This sounds at first incredible, but the science of waterway construction has made such progress that canal engineers fear no problems. This was proved by the speech made in Berlin a few days ago by Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, who is one of the most enthusiastic partisans of Sig. Caminada's scheme. Sig. Caminada has just been received by the king of Italy, and has placed a model of his canal, which will go from Genoa to Zurich, on view in the rooms of the Academic del Lincel, the most important scientific and technical society in Italy. The fashion in which Sig. Caminada will cross the higher summits of the Alps is no longer quite new. He makes use of locks lying one above the other, such as have already been constructed at the Trollhatta falls, and combines them with double locks, such as are to be seen on the Telton canal at Klelm Machow. Original and decidedly novel is the extension of these locks to a long chain, which mount up the face of the Alps, and which are built to fit all the incidence of the upward ascent. For this reason Sig. Caminada transforms them into tubes. In the interior of this tube is a large number of sep- Artificial Basins at. Entrances of Two Tunnels with Opposite Inclinations. arate locks, which follow one another in unbroken succession and are separated from one another by lock doors. Each of the locks has a floor sloping downward and a similar vaulted roof. When a barge is to be conveyed across the Alps it is carried out in the following manner. It is brought into the lowest lock and the doors closed behind it. The lock Is then filled with water. The bottom of the lock is given a very slight upward inclination and is laid with a set of rails on which is a carriage. To this the barge is made fast, and as fast as the lock fills with water the barge, on its carriage, glides up the slope. When it reaches the level of the next lock the operation is repeated. Sig. Caminada places two such tubes alongside one another, one for the up and the other for the down journey. The locks of each of them are connected with one another so that the water which runs out of one fills the other. It realizes a great economy of water. The tubular canals are only used when the ground requires it. On the level stretches an open canal is constructed. Of these canals only the one which ascends has locks, the other is built as a running stream, down which the barges glide rapidly. When the Splungen pass is reached a ten-mile tunnel will be constructed. The canal is to begin at Genoa and will run to Milan via Pavla and Alessandrie. From the latter place a branch canal will lead to Turin, while a second curve will be built from Milan to Lake Maggiore. From Milan the main canal runs to Trezzo, where the Alps are reached and the ascent begins. The Lake of Como will be traversed, and then the tubular canal rises sharply to Isalata, where the canal under the Splugen begins. It ends at La Nonna. At this point the highest level, 4,264 feet above the sea, is reached, and then the descent begins to Thusis and Chur and the valley of the Rhine, which the canal follows to the Lake of Constance and thence to Basle. At the confluence of the Aare between Schaffhausen and Basle, a second projected canal' system starts which, via Aarau, Solothurn, Berne, Basle, Lucerne and Zurich, connects with the lakes of Thun, Brienz and Zug and the lake of the Four Cantons. The immense increase of Germany's economic power during the last 28 years is strikingly illustrated by the increase of coal consumption in that time. In 1879 it aggregated 52,204,000 tons, and by 1995 it rose to 105,877,000 tons, thus doubling itself in 16 years; but last year it reached 208,167,000 tons, having nearly doubled itself again in 12 years. FEDERAL JOB FOR MITCHELL Retiring Chief-of Miners' Union May Inspect Canal Labor. Washington.—That John Mitchell, the retiring president of the anthracite coal miners' union may be asked by President Roosevelt to go to Panama and make a report on labor conditions there, is one of the results which may accrue from a conference on Panama affairs at the White House the other day. The president, Secretary Taft and Col. Goethals considered not only the labor phase of the isthmian situation, but many others. No conclusion was reached as to the appointment of Mr. Mitchell. TREY John Mitchell. and it is understood that James Bronson Reynolds, the president's Chicago packing house investigator, also was considered for the same work. The necessity of having accurate information on labor conditions on the isthmus has been emphasized recently by numerous minor complaints which are coming to Washington. It is considered desirable also to have expert information on the manner in which the reforms ordered as a result of the investigation of Miss Betts, have been made effective. Missouri Congressman Made Chairman Congressional Committee. Washington. — James Tighlman Lloyd, who has been elected chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee in spite of the opposition of John Sharp Willlams, the leader of the minority in the house, has always been a strong Bryan man and a stanch believer in free silver. He took little part in active politics until comparatively late in life, for with the exception of filling the office of prosecuting attorney of Shelby county from 1889 to 1893, a position which was virtually forced upon him, he held no public office and aspired to none. It was only when a vacancy occurred in the First district of Missouri that he was induced to run for congress, and he was elected 2. James T. Lloyd. on the Democratic ticket by a large majority. Five times since he has been re-elected, beating his opponents with ease. He was born in Lewis county a trifle over 50 years ago, was graduated from Christian university, Canton, in 1878, taught school for a few years and was then admitted to the bar. He practiced in Lewis county until 1885, when he removed to Shelbyville, where he has remained ever since. Slow Work. The construction of a lighthouse on the Ar-Gazeck reef, on the French coast, near Ushant, is proceeding very slowly. During 1904 the swiftness of the currents prevented more, than 52 hours' work on the foundation, more than 206 hours in 1905 and more than 152 in 1906. During three years, therefore, only 51 days of eight hours were available for the work. THEFLYINGMACHINE IT HAS COME TO STAY, SAYS HENRY FARMAN. Man Who Won Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize Talks About His Plans for Future Experiments with His Aeroplane. New York.—Contrary to popular belief, Henry Farman, who in a single day achieved world-wide fame by navigating an airship over a circular course one kilometer in length and winning a prize of $10,000, is an Englishman. The feat that set all Europe talking and made Farman a social lion in Paris, where the flight took place, was by no means his first achievement of note, although of far greater interest to the general public as pointing the way to a means of navigation that has ever proved a stumbling block to mankind. Farman has always been conspicuously successful in everything he undertook, and his has been an active life. Some 16 years ago, when the bicycle craze was at its height in Europe, Farman was one of the champions on the French racing track, with his brother Maurice, never having been beaten on a tandem. With the advent of the automobile, he naturally drifted into the game, and was one of the most fearless chauffeurs in a land that has turned out plenty of talent in that class. His energies were by no means monopolized by racing, for he embarked in the manufacture of automobiles, at the present time being head of one of the largest motor car concerns in Europe. Inspired by the success of M. Santos-Dupont, Mr. Farman took up the problem of aerial navigation with his customary enthusiasm and thoroughness, winning merited success. From boyhood, Farman has exhibited a fondness for risking his neck, having experienced some bad falls when racing with bicycle and automobile. Nevertheless, he leaves nothing undone to put any machine he may be riding in perfect condition, and declares that he is the soul of prudence. "When I risk my neck, which, of course, every man who mounts an aeroplane is bound to do. I at least have the certainty that I have left nothing undone to make my ap- A. HENRY FARMAN paratus as perfect as possible." sald Mr. Farman to an interviewer, recently. "I take no unnecessary risks in the way of height. I could, if I wanted, soar off in the air to any height I please. If my motor would work long enough I could clear the Elfel tower. But at the present stage it would be folly to ascend a yard higher than is necessary. The aeroplane is at present a very delicate machine, and something may snap at any moment. The aeroplane is not like a parachute. If anything happened to disturb its equilibrium it would shoot to the ground like a flash. "But the flying machine has come to stay. It is at the present moment in much the same stage as the automobile was 25 years ago. The first thing to do is to get the ideal motor. The one I use is a 50 horsepower Antolinette. It weighs only 50 kilos, or 160 pounds. That means a horsepower for every two pounds. But unfortunately, I cannot carry a radiator, so that the motor heats in a few minutes and brings my flight to a close. However, the other day I succeeded in taking up 15 kilos or 30 pounds of weight with me. I am also planning changes in my aeroplane which will gain another 30 pounds. Then my new motor will give me four new horsepower—that is, a considerable addition to the lifting power. This will, I hope, allow of my putting on a radiator and thus get rid of the heating of the motor." In spite of his remarkable achievements with the aeroplane, Henry Farman wears his laurels modestly, and is working hard to attain a higher degree of perfection for the machine with which he has done so much. Value of Empress' Diamonds. Empress Augusta Victoria's magnificent diamonds, which she wears on great occasions at the German court, are valued at $1,250,000. In them she justifies in a double sense the compliment the emperor once paid her when he gallantly referred to her as "the jewel that sheds luster by my side." J P. Morgan is the Pharaoh's daughter of the Twentieth Century He found a little profit in the rush on the Lanks. The State Labor Bureau of NewYork reports the number of men out of work increased from 12 to 34 percent. No wonder the bread lines are long in the cities! How, will the Republican politicians explain next fallt that the tariff has not protected the unemployed workmen, when the law was to provide revenue and encourage industries? President Roosevelt has changed his style of addressing his fellow citizens, having dropped the I for we and our. Companion Cozzens has returned to the fold. The National Labor party, composed of 2,000,000 Federation of Labor, unattached, and 1,000,000 National Farmers' Union, 1,000,000 Socialist, with 500,000 members American Society of Equity, was inaugurated at Cleveland, Ohio, last week. (The Negro, with ten million, should follow suit.) When the President flipped a coin at the White House one day to settle the distribution of certain patronage set an evil example that he might have known would be seized by others to their undoing. When Mr. Roosevett does a thing in this land, everybody feels at liberty to do the same. (Except making nominations to the Ananias Club.) Feburary 26 Senator Foraker introduced a bill to re-enlist the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The bill should pass, for the reasons that, these soldiers have been unjustly dealt with from a military standpoint. (Failure to be tried by court-martial.) The President has decided to appoint W. S. Rossiter Public Printer. The Traders' and Merchants' and Mechanics' Banks will nuite. The capital will be $300,000. Last Saturday the members of Green Mountain Lodge, No. 1477. Three Links, presented D. B. Webster with a large roll-top desk, a gold gavel, and a life-size portrait of himself. Last Friday Messrs. James W. Poe, of Washington, D. C.; Dr.Robbins, of Virginia; A. W. Rodgers, of North Carolina; J. H. Hardy, of Maryland; L. S. Brown, New Jersey; A. Thompson, of Texas; B. W. Rembert, of South Carolina, and J. A. Cobb, of Georgia, have issued an appeal to the Southern colored voters to support Senator Foraker of Ohio; in case of failure, Vice President Fairbanks or Senator M. La Follette, of Wisconsin; also to oppose the nomination of Secretary Taft. The Republican National Committee will meet in Chicago, Ill., in the Coliseum, on Wabash avenue, fifteen minutes walk from the Auditorium; There will be seats for 11,000 in the hall. There will be eleven entrances around the foot of the platform; 400 seats for newspaper men. There will be five tickets of admission, a different color, one for each day. Wilfred Carter, of 2209 Fourteenth street northwest, died at the Emergency Friday, the 6th, the result of a blow from a ball bat by Daniel Hinton of 204 B street northwest, who was identified by Mrs. Lillie Fadle, who was with Carter at the time. All parties colored. Peter Wood, colored, of 2207 M street, southwest, was killed by the cars on the tracks near Fourteenth street and Maryland avenue southwest, last Thursday.

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 cblor pastes that can be purchased at any first-class confectioners or made at home, a little cream of tartar, and then the fillings, favorings, nuts, etc., that are to be used In connection with the fondant For flavoring the ordl- nary extracts are used, also maraschino and other cordials. The formula for fondant {s always the same: A pound of graulated sugar (that {s, two ordinary cupfuls), one cupful hot water, and a half tea- spoonful cream of tartar. This is the easiost quantity to hand!e for the ama- teur.. After a little experience the quantity can be doubled, as fondant can be made and kept on hand. Put the ingredients Into a granite sauce- pan 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 stir- ring will cause it to granulate. Heat rapidly to the boiling point, wiping gently away with a damp cloth any molature that appears on the sides of the pan. If this drops back into thé pan it {s apt to make the sirup grau- wlate also. If any scum arises. remove jit vareruliy. Atier cooking ten min utes hegin testing in cold water.

Do not try to hasten this by setting in cold water. Let it take {ts time. When cool, not | cold, begin stirring energetically with ;® wooden paddle. In 2 few moments it will look cloudy, then whiten and grow thick and creamy. When tool suf to stir, take tn the hands snd knead Ilke bread dough.

When quite ght , and creamy it fs ready for use, though it fs better to put away a day, as con- fectioners do, to mellow and ripen. Pack in an searthen dish and cover airtight with a slightly dampened cloth. This will keep for weeks if de sired. When sufficient fondant Bas been prepared it is ready for the coloring. All colors, extracts and flavors must be as concentrated as possible, 20 gs not to thin the fondant too'much.

To obtain red, holl 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.

For blue, rab 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 quan- tity of-its juice, then strained, gives yellow, as also the yolk of an egg. Frult juices also furnish good color- inzs 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 saved 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 bicarbonate 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 fastened 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 boilers and scald a pint of milk in each. When hot put the chocolate into one and the coconut into the other. Divide the sugar and cornstarch and mix in two cups. Annual Annoucement J. dividual piece has been carefully that we have as fine a selection a Any article that you may select Polite attention. F-797 Prices in the Diamond market are advancing, but OUR PRICES HAVE'T BEEN A'VANCED in some time. We still have a large collection of superb Diamonds which we bought a considerable time ago at lower prices than prevail today. We shall not advance prices on these stones. We are merchants and not simulators, and our fair percentage of pri 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 lot 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 beaten 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, folled 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-Cover 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 scrag 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 slimmer 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 cinnamon. 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.

If the tear is a serious one the edges of the lace can be basted upon the selvages of the muslin and placed in the embroidery hoop. Care must be taken not to sew into the muslin. If the edge is destroyed entirely or in part, the lace may be basted upon white letter paper, and stitched several times to form a new edge and cross-threads stitched to hold this edge in place, then the paper pulled away and the remaining stitches put in on the machine or by hand. Hamburg edgings and insertions can be darned in the same way. They should preferably be free of starch and smoothly ironed to facilitate perfect work. White mosquito netting that has been washed will be found to give a good foundation for darning coarsely woven underwear on the machine, and soft black mosquito netting should be basted under the holes in the knees of boys' stockings. It should be basted directly across the hole and the machine darning be done directly upon it. The rough edges and threads can afterward be trimmed away. When you are through darning upon the machine, do not forget to replace the pressure on the pressure foot and the stitch action to the feed, otherwise you may be much puzzled the next time you go to the machine and wonder why it "won't make a stitch." ONE OF SEASON'S NOVELTIES. Try Parisian Charlotte at Your Next Luncheon or Dinner. Parisian charlotte is one of the novelties of the season. For it soak one-quarter of a box of gelatin in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water. Scald in a double boiler one-half pint of thin cream or rich milk. Pour it over four eggs beaten well with a half cupful of sugar and stir over the fire until it thickens. Add the gelatin, stir until dissolved, then strain and set aside until chilled. When it begins to thicken add one-quarter of a pound each of stale maccaroons and lady fingers broken or cut in pieces, one cupful of freshly grated cocoanut, one teaspoonful of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of sherry and one cupful of heavy cream which has been whipped to a solid froth. Fold and mix lightly, turn into a wetted mold and stand aside where it will stiffen. Turn out carefully (this may be done early in the evening) and garnish with a little whipped cream, tinted pale pink, and half a dozen quartered candied cherries.—What-to-Eat. --- BETWEEN G &'H Ladies' Diamond Rings, $5.00 to $150.

KEYSTONE D-779 To Serve Ices. Get a paper watermelon mold, which will cost about 25 cents, and line it throughout with melted paraffin so that the moisture will not ruin the mold. Line this slightly with green ice cream, then put in a layer of white ice cream. Have a pink lemonade partially frozen and fill the mold. Place in the half frozen ice a handful of soaked black currants which will resemble watermelon seeds. Place this where it will freeze. When placed on the table, in the stand the ice. It is a suggestion which can be reserved for future use when the genuine watermelon shells can be used for the purpose, taking the place of the paper mold. Removing Bruises from Furniture. If the bruise is slight soak the place in warm water, and hold a red hot poker near the surface of the wood, keeping it constantly wet until the bruise disappears. This will occur in a few moments. If the bruise is large, an actual dent, wet the place with warm water as before directed. Then take a piece of brown paper, fold it six or seven times, soak in warm water and place over the spot Against the paper place a hot flat-fron, keeping it there until the moisture has evaporated. This process should be repeated until the surface is again level.—Suburban Life. Hem the Ends of a Veil. As a rule it is no easy matter to hem a vell, as the filmsy ends have a most provoking way of slipping out of the fingers and from under the needle. It is really easy, however, if done in this manner: Baste an inch hem in each end of the vell and then baste a piece of paper under the hems. When this is done, stitch the hems on the sewing machine through the paper. The paper then may be carefully torn off. The vell should be pressed with a warm iron and special attention given to the hems. Flower Pots on Table. Tiny Dresden flower pots are the latest in table decorations. On the everyday table nothing could be dainter than one of these little pots with a tiny pink flower or one of the novelties in dwarfed trees. The perfect little trees are only about six or eight inches in height and are now brought to such a perfection that they are a welcome change from the various little ferns that have been used for long. To Keep the Closet Door Shut. I had tried all sorts of ways to induce my son to make an effort to keep the closet door shut. Finally, he himself suggested that I hang on the outside of the door his favorite picture, the one he always wishes to see when he enters the room. It hurts him so much to see the picture turned to the wall that he is fast learning to keep the door closed—Good Housekeeping W.SidneyPittman Architect RENDERING IN PATENT DRAWINGS MONOTONE, WATER COLOR DRAFTING, DETAILING, TRAC AND PEN & INK BLUE PRINTING STEEL CONSTRUCTION A SPECIALTY.

PETER GROGAN ITEMS ON THE WING I wish that the conversion of the President to sound doctrine were more thorough. He has shown some public impulses, but he has been unable to shake off the body of death of Republicanism. The head of a nation that supports or tolerates systems of taxation that produce and promote the very evils he condenms and advise postponement of their corrections is still in the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity. Many noble impulses seem to spring from his strong mind. As in the garden of the sluggard filthy weeds spring up to choke out fair and wholesome blossoms. (Rep. Houston on recent message of the President.) Curry Robinson and John Henry, colored, of Hawkinsville, Ga., accused of the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Warren White, were put to death by the usual mob, viz., lynchers, and after being hanged were soaked with oil an set afire. One revived, and his screams were frightful. (The way they do in the Sunny South.) These hard times were foreseen over two years ago by the money kings. Booker T. will lecture in Washington, March 18th. An ounce of help is worth a pound of sympathy. Whenever the presidential office is filled by right of succession handed down, without going through the usual routine, viz., the ballot, then the country becomes a monarchy. If the time has not arrived for the Negro of the United States to unite, then it never will arrive. All factions of the various races in the United States are united against the colored brother OPPORTUNITY ForYoungMen There is a growing demand at lucrative salaries in all sections of the country, and especially in the South, for young men trained in agriculture. The demand for the graduates from this department of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is so far in excess of the supply that we are offering special inducements to graduates of other schools, and persons sufficiently advanced in the academic branches to come here and pursue the courses in agriculture, including Farm Work, Dairying, Live Stock Raising, etc. An opportunity will be given a few earnest young men to work out all of their board while taking a course.
