VOL. 27.NO 43 CHASE TO BIEBER BIEBER NOT PRESENT. When the candidates for delegates from the District to the Republican National Convention appeared at the office of Sidney Bieber, chairman of the Board of Election, Saturday, to qualify as delegates, they found no one there to greet them. Thereupon they went to the Traders' National Bank and deposited the required fee of $350 with Eldridge E. Jordan, president of the bank, who is chairman of the finance committee. Only three tickets qualified. They are: Ticket No. 1.—Henry H. Flather, cashier of Riggs National Bank, and R. R. Horner, member of the Board of Education, with Dr. William Tindall and Daniel Murray as alternates. Ticket No. 2.—Gen. Andrew S. Burt and John Paterson, with Col. W. S. Odell and O. D. Gaskins, as alternates. Ticket No. 3.—Delegates, Col.Wm. S. Odell and W. Calvin Chase; alternates, William Ambrose and L. Melendez King. The prospective candidates are at a loss to understand the conduct of the Election Board. According to the published instructions of the Board, the candidates were required to appear at Bieber's office, file their endorsement, and deposit $350 in order to become qualified candidates. Shortly after eleven o'clock Saturday morning General Burt and Mr. Patterson appeared at Bieber's office. The absence of the members of the Board caused surprise, but, realizing that they had until noon to qualify, they made themselves comfortable, assuming that the Board would convene in due time. But, much to their surprise, no one put in an appearance. W. Calvin Chase was present at the time Burt and Patterson were. Mr. Chase handed his card to one of the lady clerks for Mr Bieber, and requested the lady to state that he came to present his ticket. It is true that Bieber was not present from 10:20 a.m. till 1 p.m. General Burt said Saturday night that he and Mr. Patterson waited at Bieber's office until nearly one p.m. Assuming that they had either been slighted or misinterpreted the instructions, the candidates then repaired to Mr. Jordan's office and qualified. Flather for Foraker Mr. Flather last Saturday night, for the first time since entering the race, defined the attitude of his ticket on the Presidential situation. He said that the Flather-Horner ticket would support Foraker "I have hesitated from defining my attitude before now," said Mr. Flather, "because of personal reasons. Mr. Horner is a stanch Foraker man, and as a candidate on the same ticket I now say that I will support the -Ohio Senator." When Mr. Horner announced his intention of entering the race for delegates to the National Convention he immediately informed his constituents that he was a strong Foraker man. Mr. Flather, however, maintained a silence, and it was generally assumed that he was a Taft man. The supposed difference of opinions on the part of the two candidates is said to have cost the ticket many of its supporters. The Burt-Patterson ticket came out strongly for Foraker from the first, and as a result the candidates' friends have worked decisively in their behalf, building up a supporting body that probably will carry the ticket to victory. Pattern Files Protest. Because of an alleged radical departure in the methods and regulations formulated by the Election Board for the conduct of the primaries in April, Mr. Patterson yesterday, after qualifying as a delegate, filed a signed protest against the Board's ruling. He contends that the regulations do not embody nor represent the views of the entire Board. He says that George F. Collins, a member of the Board, was not present when the regulations were drafted; that he was not cognizant of the Board's action until they had been adopted, and that he refused to endorse them because he had not been advised in time to participate in their formulation. Mr. Patterson's attitude is supported by General Burt, who feels that the delegates have not been accorded proper consideration. It is intimated that an effort will be made to have the present regulations revoked, and a new set of rules drafted under the THE BEE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY-LOCAL. supervision of the entire Board. It is understood that both Horner and Flather, in communications to Daniel Murray, a prominent colored politicians, have openly declared themselves for Foraker. THE NEW TICKET — BIEBER THE NEW TICKET — BIEBER AND "JIM-CROWISM." Washington, D. C., March 14. Mr. Sidney Bieber, Chairman of the Election Committee, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Saturday, March 14th, between the hours of 10,30 and 11 o'clock a.m., I called at your office, 611 Fourteenth street northwest, for the purpose of filing my petition with the list of delegates and alternate delegates for the National Republican Convention which is to meet in the city of Chicago, Ill., June 16th, 1908, but found you out. I left my card with a clerk in the office, and requested the lady to inform you that I had called for the purpose indicated above. I also went to the United States Senate and waited in and around the Senate doors and entrances, with the hope of seeing you, but without success. I take this method of informing you that you have violated your own rules, and that I shall appeal to the National Committee and the Republican party in this city unless my delegation is placed on the regular ticket or recognized by the Election Board. You assured me that I should be permitted ti name one judge for the registration and one for the election booth, which I was prepared to do Saturday. Whereas you failed to be in your office, and in the absence of the meeting of your committee at the time you stated that it would meet, please inform me, before I take other steps, whether you intende to keep faith with me as one of the candidates for delegates to the National Republican Convention. I am ready and prepared to file a list of my delegates and alternate delegates, the name of one judge in each election precinct, together with the one hundred names required and the amount of money two of the members of your committee required to deposit. If you remember, when Attorney Patterson and myself called to see you we made a similar demand; that is to say, that each delegation should be permitted to have one judge in each of the election booths, which would assure fairness. At that time you did not say what you would do on this line, but you did inform me, in front of the District Building, that you would allow me to name one judge in each election district, who would assist in the supervision of the election. I do not presume that you want a farce of an election, notwithstanding the fact that you are a candidate for the National Committee on the Horner-Flathers ticket. You are aware of my positions on the National Committeehip. As I informed you sometime ago, as I do now, that I would not support you for the position if elected. Knowing as you do, therefore, how I stand, I do not believe that you absented yourself from your place of meeting on the last day and hour, purposely. I do not see how you can expect the colored voters to support the Horner-Flathers ticket, which is pledged to you for National Committeeman, when you are the owner or proprietor of the many moving picture theaters in the city that "Jim-Crow" respectable colored citizens, and you claiming to be a Republican. You will excuse the diversion, but you might as well know now my reasons for opposing you for the position of National Committeeman and why the colored people can not support your ticket. The "Jim Crow" corners and racial discriminations are practiced with your knowledge and consent, because I asked the young lady who takes the tickets if you were aware of it, and she said "Yes," and that you were the sole owner of these theaters. Let me have an immediate answer. Respectfully The great rule to be followed is to agree to disagree, and not get off the handle. The colored employees of the Interstate Cooperage Company, of Bellhaven, North Carolina, started a race riot because they had been replaced by Greeks; five Greeks are fatally wounded. The colored brother has been in this country two hundred and eighty-eight years, and has a right here. March 31 Joe Gans and Abe Attell will fight before the WashingtonAthletic Club of San Francisco. What I Saw And Heard AGAINST PROHIBITION H. Cummins HON. WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF I OWA.— THE STATE OF IOWA WILL DO HERSELF GREAT HO NOR BY RETURNING THE NESTOR OF THE SENATE. I am not surprised at the action of the two white Republicans on the Election Committee. Certainly, the Republicans will not stand idle and see a colored member of the committee ignored without cause or provocation. Attorney Collins is a gentleman, and the conduct of Bieber and Cranford is reprehensible in the extreme, to which no Republican will subscribe. I am glad to know that another ticket will be presented to the Republican voters this week. I am also glad to know that colored men will have some sense in this election. I want to see all liars dismissed from the public schools, no matter who they are. The citizens of this city are being imposed upon by a class of sharks and vagrants. I never laughed so much in my life as I did last Saturday, when the political vagrants were told that only HON. WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF I WILL DO HERSELF GREAT HOTOR OF THE SENATE. one ticket would be in the field. They looked like Othello's occupation had gone. The political headquarters, No.609 F street northwest, had a mournful appearance. The chief promoter, Col. Bob Keys, said that he had lost his job, and the vagrants in and around the door were something fearful. I have never seen so many hungry politicians in all my life. Those who have very good jobs have deliberately stopped work for the purpose of getting their hands on a few easy dollars, as they call it. One of the most amusing incidents occurred in the Fifth District some time ago. One faction purchased two kegs of beer and another faction got away with them. Ten dollars was given to one man to rent a hall, and he took it and paid his house rent with it. It is a very amusing thing to witness the politicians standing upon the corners waiting for their victims. It is claimed that the Dolliver bill will pass this Congress, and then there will be something doing. I am glad to see my old friend, Mr. J. Henry Foster, doing so well. He has one of the largest and best tailoring establishments in the city. Mrs. Dr. Amanda Gray is being urged by the people for Mrs. Mary Church Terrell's place. Dr. Gray is one of the best educated women in the United States. ROUNDER. Last week a colored man and a white man held up a man in broad daylight in this city. Washington is advancing. The Administration, in order to sweeten the colored brother for the coming race, would re-enlist the illegally discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth. The President and friends coincide with the recommendations. The case is not settled yet. The industrial and commercial classes connected with the colored schools of the District of Columbia gave their closing exercises at the Armstrong Manual Training School last Thursday. PROHIBITION FARCE AT- TACK ON HYPOCRITES Men and women of Washington who oppose the passage of the prohibition bills pending in Congress, or any change in the present license system of the District of Columbia, attended a mass meeting and rally at Masonic Temple last Sunday evening. The gathering was under the auspices of the District branch of the Personal Liberty League, and the auditorium was filled to its capacity. It is estimated that at least three thousand others were massed in F street, unable to gain admittance. So great was the crush on the street and in the corridors of the building that it became necessary for Sergeant R. E. Lee, of the First Precinct, to bring to his assistance the reserve policemen from the Twelfth-Street Station House. IOWA.— THE STATE OF IOWA O NOR BY RETURNING THE NES- In the audience were representative men and women of the city city, while seated on the stage were Rev Father Valentine F. Schmitt and Rev I. Fealy, representing the ministry; P. T. Moran and Anselm Neuberger, representing the business world; Gen. Andrew S. Burt, U. S. A., and Capt. John J. Strain, representing the military and patriotic societies; Charles W. Darr, of the legal fraternity; Dr. T. E. Lee, of the medical profession; Sam De Nedrey, representing organized labor, and the officers of the Women's Army Canteen Club. Display of Petition. Suspended from the front of the stage was a long petition to Congress opposing any prohibition legislation. It was signed by four thousand men of voting age, and Chairman De Nedrey said it was the work of one anti-prohibitionist. The resolution to the Senate and House against any change in the license system of the District was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. Music was furnished by Pistorio's Band and several soloists. In calling the assemblage to order Mr. De Nedrey said he esteemed it a great honor to be president of the Personal Liberty League, which organization stands for the fullest liberty of the citizens in everything that is lawful and right. Speaking of the prohibitionists, he said if some of them had been present at the creation of the world they would have, no doubt, informed the Creator how He could have made a better job of it. He added that fanaticism and bigotry are two of the greatest evils known to mankind, and suggested as a cure for "the prohibition habit" education and a series of heart-to-heart talks with the misled ones. Speakeasy Roid in Kansas. "While the prohibitionists were raising a hubbub here last week," Mr. De Nedrey said, "the police raided a 'speakeasy' in the State Capital of prohibition Kansas — Topeka. The difference between whiskey in Maine and the District is twenty-five cents. It costs seventy-five cents a pint in the prohibition State and fifty cents --- here. The empty jug trade of Representative Sims' State — Tennessee — would make any man rich in a short while if he had a monopoly of it. The express companies that enter Tennessee have had to increase their force of employees in order to handle the jug trade that has sprung up there under prohibition laws." Rev. Father Schmitt, pastor of St. Joseph's Church, began his address by declaring that experience had now shown prohibition does not prohibit. "So-called prohibition is a snare, a fraud, and an injustice. "I have been in the priesthood forty years and have had experience with all classes of people," Father Schmitt concluded. "Before I became a minister I served as a soldier in the Union Army in the Civil War and was a participant in some of the severe fighting. A man has a natural right to eat and drink what he pleases. While in the mining region I was the leader of a temperance society, and used a big stick to make the members observe the rules. So I employed the big stick before Teddy Roosevelt did. Temperance is a virtue, and is not, therefore, a subject for legislation. More people die from over-eating than over-drinking. The Lord had wine at His last supper, and it was not unfermented wine, as certain fanatics claim,either. The Lord performed a miracle and turned water into wine when the people wanted it, or, as the poet has so prettily said, "When the water saw its Lord it blushed." Miss Bessie V. Winchester, secretary of the Women's Army Canteen Club, read an address to the meeting from that organization. It urged the women who are opposed "to the efforts that are now being made to impose unjust prohibition laws on the people of the District of Columbia at the instigation of a minority of men, women and children here to visit the United States Capitol on the dates of the hearings before the House District Committee on the proposed prohibition laws, and by their presence lend a silent yet forceful protest against such legislation. "Wear on your bosoms a yellow badge — the color of the Canteen Club — and let it be seen by our lawmakers that not all the women of Washington are swayed by sentiment against justice and fair play." Mrs. Inez Seymour McConnell sang "Dreaming," and responded to encores. Barrier Against Frenzied Fanaticism Charles W. Darr, of the local bar, and superintendent of St. Paul'sSunday School, was the next speaker. He said he is proud of the fact that he is an officer of the Personal Liberty League, which organization stands as a barrier against "frenzied fanaticism," sometimes termed prohibition. He said to argue prohibition from an economic standpoint is absurd. "I want to say right here," Mr. Darr said, "that while Mr. Shoemaker may represent 5,000 persons, I have the honor to speak for 70,000,-000. And I appear here not only in that capacity, but as a taxpayer in the District. "This is not a question of prohibition prohibiting, but an economic one. Prohibition is led by the short-haired women and the long-haired men, 99 percent of whom do not pay taxes, and will not if they live hundreds of years." Referring to the efforts of the ministers in the prohibition fight,Mr. Darr asked if the ministers are willing to pay a tax on their churches of $800. Reference to Ministers "It is easy to say take away the $410,000 taxes paid by the distiller, brewer and saloon man. But will the ministers make up the deficiency?" Opposition to Prohibition. P. T. Moran, president of the Grain Exchange of the District of Columbia, and national director of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, said 95 percent of the business men are opposed to prohibition, and a like number of the citizens favor licenses. He asserted the local saloons are better kept than in any other city; that the laws of the District are more stringent, and if prohibition is effected we will have blind tigers and speakeasies. "I appeal to my overzealous friends," Mr. Moran said, "to direct themselves along other lines in their efforts, and be good American citizens. There is no need of prohibition in the city. Note the saloon keepers and the way they conduct themselves. Their places could not Continued on Page 4 Robert Downing has abandoned the stage and will take up evangelistic work. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Va., had her left kneecap fractured last week by falling down a flight of stairs. Notwithstanding the doctors say she will be confined to her bed for several weeks, we hope she will soon be restored to her former self. Senator Tillman in his speech of last Monday intimated that Mr. Roosevelt has done things for which he should be impeached. He termed Andrew Johnson and President Roosevelt as the "two extremes." The motto "In God We Trust" was by an almost unanimous vote in the House of Representatives ordered replaced on gold and silver coin of the United States. The Supreme Court rendered a decision against the four packing companies, Armour, Swift & Co., Morris & Co., and Cudahy, and each was fined $15,000 for taking illegal rebates. By a vote of the Senate Committee, the bill giving States control over interstate shipment was declared to be unconstitutional. At a cabinet meeting it was decided that no "Cabinet officer shall serve as a delegate to the Republican National Convention." The Secretary of Commerce and Labor says that more than 65,000 immigrant applicants were refused passports to the United States during the last fiscal year. The officials of Howard University are likely to receive a bit of criticism for having at an overzealous moment discarded all illuminating processes except the electric. Last Tuesday evening the electric current failed to put in appearance at all, and Clark Hall, Miner Hall, and in fact the buildings generally were without light, and "without" on the campus were the male students, while the girls were "without" on the porch of their hall, enjoying a bonfire built by the boys. The clean lamp is more to be desired, when gas cannot be obtained, than electric light, with its whims and uncertainties. The celebration of St. Patricks' Day was generally observed by indoor exercises, and the national color of Ireland was in evidence in all directions. Mr. Samuel Hardy, who died last week in Albany, N. Y., and whose funeral took place last Thursday, was the brother of Mr. Daniel Hardy, of Washington. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, of Chicago, chairman of the Charity Ball Committee, turned over to the treasurer of Provident Hospital, Chicago, $733.87, net proceeds of the First Annual Ball for the benefit of the Hospital. The expenses were $610.53. It is getting to be fashionable now for the women of Washington to carry concealed weapons to protect themselves against impostors. Women are not such cowards as they are pictured. Plans are being perfected for building better sanitary homes for the laboring people who cannot pay the high rents now charged. A commission has the matter in hand. The whole population, 140 persons, including four Americans, States fleet on its arrival at San Diego, Cal.

Greek Patients Treated 2,400 Years Ago Much as They Would Be in a Modern Hospital—Ruins Recently Unearthed. New York.—The most famous of the ancient Greek health temples and the last whose ruins have been brought into view is on the Island of Cos in the Egean sea, not far from the southwest corner of Asia Minor. There were larger health temples than that of Cos, but the newly discovered temple is the most celebrated of them all, because it was there that Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, studied and practiced the art of healing and wrote some of the books that have come down to us. It was there that he freed medicine from some of the ancient superstitions and that his powers of observation and scientific insight led him to discoveries of new truth that were a blessing to the Greeks for centuries after his death. This forerunner of the modern hospital was built about 2,400 years ago. The place where it stood had been so changed by earthquakes and the ravages of time and men that it was not identified as the site of the health temple of Hippocrates till three years ago. Then two British architects began digging and found inscriptions proving that on this spot the long-lost temple stood. Excavations were rapidly pushed and the foundations and ruined buildings, now revealed, were found to cover an area of 590 feet from north to south and 423 feet from east to west. So much has been found that it is not difficult to make a mental picture of the ensemble of the beautiful buildings that stood here over 2,000 years Sanitarium Where Hippocrates Practiced 24 Centuries Ago. ago. A picture of the health temple, undoubtedly giving a fair idea of it, is reproduced here from the Proceedings of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. The site, two miles from the sea, is very beautiful. Mountains rise on two sides of it and it is fronted by the turquoise. Egean dotted with islands. The buildings were grouped on three terraces. In front is the three-sided portico and its buildings where patients were received and where the consultation and operating rooms and baths were situated. It was here that Hippocrates wrote his notes on many important cases. The baths were numerous because he was a great believer in the remedial uses of water. It is supposed that the medical school also occupied some of the front buildings. A flight of stairs in the middle ground leads to the second terrace, and here was the great altar, from which smoke may be seen arising in the picture, and the gymnasium, for Hippocrates prescribed a great deal of exercise in suitable cases. On this terrace have been unearthed many wall slabs inscribed with wise maxims in regard to health that have come down to us in the writings of Hippocrates. Reached by the broad stairs ascending to the third terrace is the restoration of the beautiful temple of Apollo. The temples of all the greater gods exactly faced the east, and this is the only building in the sanitarium that had precisely that orientation. The priests of Apollo here were trained to the care of the sick, and so their religious ceremonies occupied only a part of their time. In the buildings that surround the terrace on three sides were the sleeping apartments of the patients. Thus it is seen that 2,400 years ago the sick in this hospital were surrounded by many of the advantages which to-day are regarded as helpful to invalids. They were nursed back to health in a lovely environment, for here was the charm of mountains, plain and sea—a place of rest, peace and beauty. There was the daily routine of treatment by baths, exercise, massage, a regulated diet and medicines of vegetable origin, which usage had approved, and there were hours of sitting out in the sunlight in that pure mountain air, and to divert attention from human ills there were processions of white-robed priests and priestesses, with music of flute and clithara and the singing of paens. Here Hippocrates won his undying fame by his devotion and lifelong labors to help the sick and malned, to lessen suffering of all kinds and to record his experiences and discoveries for the benefit of future generations. He placed curative methods upon a new basis. Centennial of First Burning of the Fuel Being Celebrated. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—This city is celebrating the centennial of the first burning of anthracite coal in a grate, the experiment having been tried here from which grew the mammoth coal business of to-day, which employs 180,000 men and boys, produces 80,000,000 tons of coal every year and adds $320,000,000 to the wealth of the country. It is just 100 years ago that Judge Jesse Fell successfully burned anthracite, or stone coal, as it was then Grate in Taproom of Fell Tavern at Wilkesbarre, Pa. called, for the first time in an open grate. The experiment was in the big taproom of the old Fell tavern, and this room and the grate are still preserved, although the old tavern has long since disappeared. The room was kept intact and the present building, a hotel, was erected around it. Coal had been discovered many years before Judge Fell's experiment, but had not been put to practical use except by a few blacksmiths, who had burned it in their forges, where, under a strong draft, it had ignited and made a hot fire. No one thought of using it for household purposes, however, until Judge Fell began to think that if a fire such as he had seen in some forges could be produced from it, it would be of exceedingly great value in the household. He set to work, and although scoffed at by many friends he had built into the old fireplace in the big taproom two side walls of brick, and at the bottom and front of the open box he formed in the center he put flat strips of iron, forming grate bars. It was a wintry night when Judge Fell filled up the grate with wood, got it well ablaze upon a foundation of red hot embers, and then placed the coal upon it. While the interested and scoffling crowd of town notables watched, they saw that without any aid in the form of an artificial draft the coal soon ignited, and in a little while was soon red hot and giving forth a steady, lasting heat they never obtained from wood. In this manner the real usefulness of anthracite coal was established. The business grew very slowly, however, and it was not until eight years later that shipments of hard coal reached 1,000 tons. PURDY TO BECOME A JUDGE. "Chief-Trust Buster" to Retire from Department of Justice. Washington.—Milton D. Purdy, assistant-to the attorney general, "chief trust buster" and originator of the receivership innovation in trust prosecution, will shortly retire from the department of justice. It is understood Purdy's resignation JILTON DWIGHT PURDY was accepted with reluctance, to take effect within 60 days. Purdy is said to be slated for a circuit judgship in the Eighth circuit, as he is a Minneapolis man and is known to have an ambition to sit in that court in his home state. Purdy served under Knox, Moody and Bonaparte, pushed to success the suit against the paper trust and prepared the papers asking for the dissolution of the powder, Standard Oil and tobacco trusts and anthracite coal roads. Good at Guessing. Mike was coming to America on an ocean steamer, with a bag on his back made of a bandanna handkerchief, in which were all of his belongings. There were two Englishmen aboard the boat with him. When they landed in Philadelphia they thought they would have some fun with Mike. One said: "How far is it to Baltimore, Mike?" "How did you guess my name?" said Mike. "Well," sald Mike, "if you can guess my name, guess how far it is to Baltimore." In most large cities the death rate in winter is much greater than in summer. HISTORIC BUILDING SOMETHING OF- YORK STATE'S OLDEST HOMESTEAD. Contains Relics of Robert Fulton and Other Interesting Treasures, with Reminders of the Indian New York. Of all the historical buildings in this state the Glen-Sanders home tead, "Scotia," at Schenectady, is easily the first—the first in date as well as in interest to the antiquarian and historian. For nearly 250 years this mansion, constructed from stone quarried from the nearby rocks and timbers hewn from the forests, has stood there on the north side of the Mohawk, just across the river from the city, and watched the old town of Schenectady grow from an Indian castle to the most important electrical city in the world. The buildings and estate have never been out of the family, and Charles P. Sanders, the present occupant, is a direct descendant of Alexander Lindsay Glen, the son of a Scottish chief, who, when exiled from his own country, founded another Scotia in America. It was on July 27, 1661, that Peter Stuyvesant, director general and commissary of the Privileged West India company at Fort Orange, the town of Beverwyk (now Albany), counter-signed a deed of sale from certain chiefs of the Mohawk valley unto Sleur Arent Van Curler, called in Indian "Schonawa" (where Schenectady now stands), for a "certain number of cargoes," presumably of clothes, arms, trinkets and rum. Schenectady was the second of the five Mohawk castles to be sold to the whites, who found the flats cleared and the land already cultivated. Three years before this Alexander Lindsey Glen, the Highlander, had settled on a tract of land north of the Indian village of Schonawa and built himself a mansion of stone under the protection and title of the Mohawks. In 1665 he secured a patent for his lands on the north of the river, thus perfecting his title to "Scotia." The mansion covers a large area. The stone walls are thick and massive, the rooms large and the ceilings lofty. The stone was quarried near by and the timbers cut from the largest trees of the forest. The logs were first hewn square and then quartered with a whip-saw, making four timbers from each log. Wherever possible, joints were morticed and fastened with wooden pins. Even the Old Glen-Sanders Homestead at Schenectady, N. Y. woodwork in the Interior is secured in this way. This was necessary because in those days nails and spikes had to be hand-wrought by a blacksmith. Alexander Lindsey Glen died in 1685 and the estate passed to the youngest of his three sons, John Alexander Glen, better known by the French and Indians as Maj. Coudre. He married Anna Peek, the daughter of the settler from whom Peekskill takes its name. Twenty-eight years after his father's death John Alexander moved his mansion 100 feet to the north on account of a slight change in the river bed which threatened the foundations. "Maj. Coudre" died in 1731 and the estate passed into the hands of Col. Jacob Glen, who had command of all the troops and militia west of Albany. It was then that the mansion began to be used as a storehouse of public documents. On the river side of the house, which was originally the front, is the old Dutch "stoop," whence one looks out where, the Indians burned their prisoners. To the left of the roomy hall is the spacious library with its wide fireplace and magnificent view of the river. On all sides of the room are book shelves full of old English, Dutch and French classics in rare editions; bound volumes of the first newspapers, histories, diaries and dozens of volumes printed in the seventeenth century. One of the newspapers gives an account of "King Washington's Inauguration Speech." The paper is dated May 6, 1789, and was an "extra," notwithstanding the news was a week old. On the walls are large paintings of the most novel members of the family. There is a full-length portrait of Deborah Glen, the greatest personality in the family. Nearby is the smiling face of her playmate, John Sanders, as a boy. He later became her husband and merged the Glen name with that of Sanders. A nick in the mahogany ballustrade in the hall shows where an Indian hatchet, thrown in the heat of quarrel in the house, struck the wood after barely missing the head of the mistress, Deborah Glen. It is said that she put both the braves out of the house. One room contains the furniture and outfit of Robert Fulton, who was a relative of the family by marriage. THE COMING ELECTION.

New York --- GOOD CREAM SOUPS SOME LATE AND CAREFULLY TESTED RECIPES. Materials for Simple But Delicious Soup—Cream of Celery One of the Best Known of Preparations. The following recipes for cream soups have been carefully tested: A simple but delicious clam soup calls for a quart of soft shelled clams, or 50; a quart and a half of milk, a third of a cupful of butter, three tablespoonfuls of flour, slice of onion, a little nutmeg, salt and pepper. Drain the liquor from the clams, strain it and set it aside. Wash the clams by emptying them into a colander and placing it under the faucet for a moment. Put the milk and the slice of onion in a double boiler and set it on the stove. Cream the butter and rub the flour into it with a spoon. As soon as the milk bolls remove the onion. Add a little of the milk gradually to the creamed butter and flour, stirring it to form a smooth paste. Beat this mixture into the boiling milk. Season with salt, pepper and a grating of nutmeg. Cook for five minutes. Then add the clam liquor and clams. Cook for five minutes longer. A cream of clam soup, though more expensive, is even more delicous. The same ingredients are used with the addition of a pint of cream. The clams are washed and placed in a saucepan to simmer for a few minutes. The liquor is then drained off and the clams are pounded in a mortar and rubbed through a coarse pearce sleeve. Proceed as directed in the foregoing recipe, adding the cream when the pounded clams and their liquor are added. Serve very hot with croutons. To prepare a cream of celery soup —that most appetizing of cream soups —wash a good sized head of celery and breathe the stalks into inch length pieces. Boll in as little water as possible until pulpy. In the meantime put over the stove in a double boller a pint of milk, a large slice of onion and a piece of mace. Mash the celery in the water in which it was cooked, and when the milk bolls add to it the mashed celery. Cream together a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour, then add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and cook for five minutes. Strain and serve. A cupful of cream added the last moment will make it richer. A cream of mixed vegetables calls for two heaping teaspoonfuls of diced onion, the same amount each of diced carrot and celery and half that amount of turnip. Put three tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and when melted add the diced vegetables. Let them cook for 15 minutes, taking care that they do not brown. In the meantime put a quart and a pint of milk over the store in a double boiler, with a bay leaf, a small blade of mace and a spray of parsley. When the vegetables are tender add three tablespoonfuls of flour and stir the mixture gradually into the boiling milk. Season with salt and pepper; then cook for half an hour. Beat up the yolks of two eggs and add to them a cupful of cream. Stir the mixture into the soup and let it cook for a minute, beating constantly to prevent curdling. This soup may be strained or not, as preferred. It is delicious with the diced vegetables left in. Serve with croutons. Topic for Tired Houses Tonic for Tired Housekeepers. Place six fresh eggs in an carthen bowl without breaking the shells and pour over them the juice of six large or seven small lemons. Let it stand 48 hours. At the end of the first 24 hours turn the eggs over, and at the end of 48 hours the shells should be entirely gone, dissolved in the lemon juice. Remove any skin that remains. Into the egg mixture stir one-half pound best California honey, one gill of cream, one gill of rum, adding the cream to the honey before stirring it into the eggs. Beat all together 20 minutes with an egg beater, then bottle. Dose, wineglassful every morning before breakfast and at night if necessary. This is particularly good for tired worn-out women. Cake from Bread Sponge Use two cups brown sugar, better size of an egg, two eggs, one teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and soda; over this pour one cup boiling water; when cool add one cup bread sponge, one cup or more of raisins, and flour enough to make a soft cake dough. Bake immediately as you would any cake. Economical Soup Get a ten-cent soup bone. Put on with three quarts of water. Add vegetables of all kinds, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for three hours. This will make enough soup for two dinners. Reheat second day. Third day, make soup from bone, same quantity as first. Soup made the second time is much better than first. Hot Water for Dishes Hot water for washing dishes may be easily and cheaply procured by placing two pans of cold water in the broiler when the oven is being used. The water will become as hot as is needed and for no extra gas. When using the broiler put the pans into the oven to heat. Claret Sauce for Sultana Roll Boll one cupful of sugar and one half cupful of water seven or eight minutes. Let it cool and add a third of a cupful of claret. RAVIOLI IN ITALIAN STYLE. This Dellacy a National Dish in this Sunny Kingdom. Have a pound sifted flour on the molding board, form a hollow in the center, put in a teaspoonful salt and water enough to dissolve it, and six eggs. Work into a dough by pushing it from you with the palms of the hands. Knead into a ball. Wrap in a damp cloth and let rest for an hour and a half. Chop very fine half a pound of cooked chicken, three ounces cooked ham and half a calf's brain. Add three egg yolks, two ounces grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, a little grated nutmeg and fine mince parsley. Mix well, now divide and paste in two parts and roll down as thin as possible. Take one sheet of paste and with a tablespoon put in straight rows, two inches apart, a number of balls of the seasoned meat mixture, having them about the size of a walnut. Molsten these rows with a brush dipped in milk or water. Then lay the second flat of paste over the one with the meat, pressing between the rows so as to stick them together. Now with a pastry wheel, part all the little "hills" in squares, making of each one a ravioll. Range them on a small cloth and cover lightly. Fifteen minutes before serving plunge into salted boiling water, cook two minutes, then push back on the side of the stove to simmer five minutes longer. Drain on a cloth, then put them in layers in a deep dish, spreading grated Parmesan cheese between the layers. Molsten with four tablespoonfuls beef broth or extract, diluted with a pint of tomato catsup. Strain over them two tablespoonfuls melted butter and serve with a tureen of rich beef broth. Economize on Table Linen. The wise housekeeper of to-day uses dolles instead of tablecloths, says the Dellneator. Instead of using a large tablecloth three times a day it is better to have a square for breakfast and luncheon put on diagonally, or else a set of plain dolles, for either of these insure an attractive table and also save laudering at least two large cloths a week. A few dolles or a square can be washed out and ironed with very little trouble whenever they need it. With this partly-covered table there should certainly be a growing plant or fern for the center, no matter how.simple it may be. After these things the china really does not matter so much, though for breakfast notbling is so charming as a set of blue and white, which may be picked up almost anywhere for a small sum. Graceful shapes can be easily found. Irish Stew. Irish stew is a capital dish, and when properly made is as appetizing as it is nutritious. But its appearance offends the superfine taste of a writer in one of the minor society papers, who condemns it in quite picturesque language. He writes: "Our aesthetic tastes are too little appealed to by what is set before us at luncheon and dinner. How apparent this becomes to all of us who have ever sat and boggled at the monstrous ugliness of that mound of bones in a grave of moist vegetation, known by the barbaric name of the 'Irish stew'." Hospital Bolled Egg. An excellent way to boll an egg so as to have it soft and fluffy, suitable for convalescents, is to cook it eight minutes. The water in the kettle must be boiling. Turn out the gas on range and carefully place egg—which previously has been dipped in warm water to remove chill, as sudden change in temperature would crack it—in the boiling water, and cover, leaving upon the unlighted burner to get the heat. At the end of eight minutes take egg from shell, salt and butter to taste, and you will have a soft, palatable, easily digested egg. Goldenrod Eggs. Three hard boiled eggs, one-half teaspoon salt, one tablespoon butter, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one tablespoon flour, five slices toast, one cup milk parsley. Make a thin white sauce with the butter, flour, milk and seasoning. Separate yolks from whites of eggs. Chop whites fine and add them to the sauce. Cut four slices of toast in half lengthwise. Arrange on platter and pour the sauce over it. Force the yolks through a potato ricer or strainer and sprinkle over the top. Garnish the dish with parsley and the remaining teast cut in points. Salmon Croquettes. Put one cupful of sweet milk on the stove. When near the boiling point stir to a smooth paste two tablespoonfuls of flour, put in the milk and stir till thick. Then set aside to cool. Add one can of salmon freed from bones; mash fine with fork, two well beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of pepper. Add thickened milk and one pint of bread crumbs. Mix well together. Form in small cakes and fry in spider in hot grease till a rich brown. 8smooth Gravy. As soon as your meat has been removed from pan sprinkle your flour in, stir up smoothly, then add cold water, stir and bring to boiling point. If the meat is pork or mutton or any fat meat remove the surplus grease before putting in flour. Old Curtain. Old Swiss sash curtains when clean and mended make excellent sewing aprons. All they need is a tape run through the hem, and they are easily tied on when one is ready to sew. A FAMOUS HIGHWAY SHORT LONDON THOROUGHAFE TO BE CLOSED TO PUBLIC. Downing Street, Krown as Hub of Brit ish Empire, and Has Long Figured in History-Founded by an American. London.—"The most famous street in the world," as it is called in London, is about to be closed to the public. This is Downing" street, which former Ambressa lor Joseph H. Choate once described as "the connecting link" between England and America, and which certainly is one of the most interesting streets in the world, if it be not the most famous. Downing street is the hub of the great British city, yet as a street it is insignificant, in fact, it is worse—it is the dreamiest, longest cul-de-sac imaginable, and is dignified by being called a street at all. Excepting the big government buildings which corner it, there are but two houses, Nos. 10 and 11. One is the official residence of the prime minister of England, the other of the chancellor of the exchequer. The first of these, "No. 10," is indisputably one of the most historic buildings in existence. It is in Downing street that the British cabinet meets. It is here that the most important matters affecting the empire are discussed, ministries are made and broken and peace and war declared. There is, of course, a sufficient reason for such a surprising step as the closing of Downing street to the public. There have been whispers that the suffragettes intended besieging the official residences of the prime minister and the chancellor, of the exchequer. At any rate, the street is to be closed, and if the suffragettes desire to do any rioting they must do it elsewhere. Downing street was started by an American. His name was George Downing, but he was not an American on whom the United States can pride itself. A historian of his own nationality, in fact, declares that "it became Downing Street, London. a proverbial expression with New Englander to say of a false man who betrayed his trust that he was an arrant George Downing." This Downing was the son of Emanuel Downing of Salem, Mass. His mother was Lucy, sister of Gov. John Winthrop. He was educated at Harvard and was the second graduate of the university. For a time he was a professor there, teaching the younger students. Then he went off to the West Indies, was chaplain of the ship and did a deal of preaching. He eventually reached England. The time were troubled, the civil war was raging and Downing sided with Cromwell. When the king once more came into his own, Downing's peace was made with Charles II. by Thomas Howard, brother of the earl of Suffolk and ancestor of the man who has made Daisy Letter of Chicago and Washington an English countess. Soon, after Downing was restored to favor the king made him the chief treasurer. Downing gave the profligate king all the money he wanted and in several pamphlets defended his royal master. He also saw that the king's three chief favorites, the duchess of Portsmouth, Lady Castlemane and Nell Gwynn, had their share of dips into the English treasury. He was such a great sycophant that he obtained a grant of $400,000 from the king. He served in all the parliaments and was known as "the house bell to call all the courtiers to vote." The founder of Downing street built some houses on it which he sold as well as leased. Nos. 9, 10 and 11 were sold to Lee Lord Litchfield, master of the horse to King James II. When the king fled from England Lord Litchfield had to do the same, and his property was forfeited to the crown. In this way these three houses came into the possession of the government. King George I. knocked Nos. 9 and 10 into one residence and presented it to Baron Bothmar, the Hanoverian minister, for life. On Bothmar's death George II. offered the house as a gift to Sir Robert Walpolt, then prime minister. Walpcle refused it for himself, but accepted it as the office of the first lord of the treasury and perpetual official residence of the prime minister. And thus it came about that Downing street is "the most famous street in the world." Although all the proclamations and official rapers of England are dated from "Our Palace of St. James," they really enanate from Downing street. For two centuries the British empire has been run from the dingy house in this narrow, dull cul-desac, and probably will continue for centuries of the future. ANCIENT TOWERS IN SOUTHWEST Prehistoric Structures Doubtless Used for Defensive Purposes. Denver, Col. — In pre Columbian days, probably even before the period of the Aztec and Toltec peoples, and at a time when a considerable portion of the southwestern part of this country, now embraced within Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, was densely populated by a race well advanced in many of the crude arts and industries, constant warfare was carried on between factions, rival tribes or different races, as is evidenced by THE WESTERN ROCK "Gibraltar Rock" in Southeastern Utah. the defensive positions picked out by the more peaceable inhabitants for their dwellings. In nearly every one of the ancient communal buildings can be found towers and lookouts, with small windows or loopholes commanding all approaches. Usually the towers are a part of the main building, but occasionally they are detached and stand off at some distance, and are builtt sufficiently high to afford a view of the country on all sides. One of these remarkable structures has been found in Navajo canyon, which is included within the Mesa Verde National park, in southwestern Colorado. The tower still stands on top of a sandstone cone about 30 feet high and is perfectly cylindrical. By the ald of steps worn in the stone it is possible to climb to the tower and even to walk around it. The walls are 24 inches thick and, although their original height is not known, those in place are over nine feet high. This tower arising from the bottom of the canyon to an elevation about the surrounding rim, commanded a view of the adjacent mesa and was undoubtedly the viewpoint from which warnings of an approaching enemy could be sent out to the cliff dwellers in the canyon below. Another remarkable lookout is "Glbraltar House," in Ruln canyon, just across the Colorado-Utah line from the Mesa Verde National park. Like the round tower of Navajo canyon, this structure overlooked great distances, preventing a surprise from an approaching enemy. Considering the fact that about the only known weapons these pre-historic people used were the bow and arrow and a spear-like implement, the necessity for the great fortresses and thick walls is quite unexplainable. SUCCESSOR TO HITCHCOCK. Dr.- Grandfield Made First Assistant Postmaster General. Washington. — Charles P. Grandfield of Missouri, the ranking officer of the bureau, who has acted as first assistant in the absence of Assistant [Illustration of a man in a suit with a mustache.] Postmaster General, Frank H. Hitehock, has succeeded to the vacancy created by the late's resignation. Mr. Hitehock recently decided to accept the invitation of the friends of Secretary Tatt to assist in the management of his appointment the presidential nomination of the Republican party. Dr. Grandell was born at Troy, Lincoln county, Missouri, in 1851, and keeps his vetted residence there. He was appointed to the post office department as clerk at $1,000 in August, 1885, and has risen through every grade to his present position. While in the department he took a course in medicine at Howard university, getting his degree of M. D. in 1889. Dr. Grandfield resides, with his wife and two daughters, at 949 S. street. QUEER OLD RECIPE ORANGE PRESERVE SOMETHING NEW IN DELICACIES. Pride of a Boston Housekeeper Is Here Described — Orange Syrup to Serve with Afternoon Tea Is a Novelty. When you want something very extra special for the front row in your preserve closet do try this queer old recipe for orange preserve. There's just one housekeeper in Boston who has the recipe, and for years it has been the envy of all her friends. Pare very carefully a dozen large oranges, tie the rinds round the pulp and put them in boiling water, leaving them on the fire for three or four hours, until the skin can be easily penetrated with the head of a pin. Then throw the fruit at once into cold water, and after a few minutes cut each into five or six pieces. Clarify three pounds of sugar, reserve half of it and boll the rest to the thread; put in the oranges, bring it all to the boll and put them on one side. Now drain off, boll and replace the syrup for 12 successive days, each day adding a portion the preserved sugar; at the end of this time the fruit may be put into pots and covered down. Oranges work in so very usefully now, when last fall's preserve supply is getting a bit low, that another old recipe which this same cook loaned to the Herald will be welcomed. It's especially good with poultry, though this woman often serves it with cold meat like any other pickle. Rub two dozen oranges well with salt, then lay them in coarse salt for five days, turning them frequently. Now wipe them, and dry in old slaves in a slack oven. Pack them in jars with a good sprinkling of spice, half an ounce each of mustard and corander seed, two ounces each of chillies and peppercorns, with enough good wine vinegar to cover them. Tie the pots down lightly, and every eight or ten days, for about three weeks or a month, add fresh liquor to take the place of that which has been absorbed. Cover down very tightly and leave for two months at least, longer if possible. This is particularly good for game, in which case the oranges should be quartered. A certain uptown hostess recently served orange syrup with afternoon tea instead of the invariable lemon slices, and the guests were delighted with it. She says that to make it she takes a pound of sugar to a pint of strained orange juice and adds the grated rind and juice of one lemon. She bolls the mixture for 15 minutes, skimming off the scum as it rises and straining the liquid before bottling. Then she bottles it and corks it tightly. It may also be used to flavor pudding sauces or ice, and gives a much better flavor than the regular prepared orange extracts—Boston Herald. To Clean Velvet Collars. Now that Fashion again advocates strictly tailor made gowns to have velvet collars on the coats, the question arises how to keep the dark outside collar, from rubbing off on the neck of the blouse worn beneath it. No matter how good a quality is purchased velvet will always leave a solled mark on any light fabric it comes in contact with, and many a woman is known to write her hands in despair at the sight of a dainty walst immaculately fresh except for a dirty line across the neck. To prevent this wipe off the velvet thoroughly with a soft cloth slightly moist, then rub with a rag saturated in pure alcohol. This done once a week regularly will prevent the velvet from "crocking" and collars will not be soiled in the back. A Splendid Cake Recipe. Cream three-fourths of a cup of butter, add one cup sugar and three eggs, beating one in at a time. Add four tablespoonfuls of sour cream. Sift together one and a half cups flour, one teaspoonful each of soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add last a cup of blackberry jam, put together with a boiled frosting. The secret of making boiled frosting is in the beating. Do not stop for a second until it is thoroughly cold. Also add a half-teaspoonful of vinegar to the sipup when cooking. Sultana Roll. Line a cylindrical mold with a pistachio cream ice, sprinkle the inside with sultana raisins cooked tender in sugar sirup at about 32 degrees by the sirup gauge. (The raisins may be soaked in claret first.) Fill, center with charlotte russe filling, cover with pistachio cream ice. Let stand an hour in equal measure of ice and salt. Serve in slices with claret sauce. Orange Honey. Grate the yellow rind from two fine oranges and add to it two pounds of strained honey. Remove the juice and pulp from one drown oranges. This should be measured at least a quart. Add this to the honey. Turn the whole in a preserving bottle and boll carefully for half an hour, then put it into a tin cold cover with a affin or cold air. Preserve for later. To be used and, preserve the color of very cinnamon place the articles in a bowl of cold water and allow them to remain 24 hours. Take them out and lay on a soft towel. Do not dry them. If they initial dry in the air, If any water remains in the carvings of the ivory blow it off. If it were all vel to settle on the livery the color would be destroyed. Properly Prepared They Make a Doo lightful Variation. Caramel apples are a daltry dish served at a Boston restaurant which caters to the feminine taste. To prepare them: Take six tart apples, one cup each of white and brown sugar, one-fourth cup of cream, one large tablespoonful butter, one cup chopped nuts, one cup each of whipped cream and water, and tablespoonful granulated gelatin. Make a syrup of the granulated sugar and water. Peel and core the apples and cook them slowly until tender, in the syrup. Turn them often and take care to keep them whole. When done remove the syrup and add the gelatin to the syrup. Place the brown sugar, cream and butter in a saucepan and cook to the firm ball stage. Then add the nuts. Place the prepared apples in a dish and fill the centers and cover the top with the caramel nut mixture. Then pour the syrup around them and set on ice to chill. When ready to serve, covered with whipped cream, they are a delightful variation of the common baked apple. Darn wRh Machine Let the sewing machine darn that hole in the bedspread. It will darn it ever so much better than your hands can. Cut a piece of cotton cloth half an inch larger all around than the hole, turn the edges in and stitch down on the machine. Baste the patch to the inside of the worn portion. Now lengthen the stitch as you would for very heavy material and stitch vertically over the hole, keeping the rows of stitching as near together as possible. Do not lift the needle during the process, but lift the foot of the machine and swing the article around the end of each row of stitching. When the hole has been quite covered with the vertical rows of stitching stitch across horizontally, as in regular darning, until the hole is completely filled up. The finest table linen can also be repaired in this way, only the patch must be of linen instead of cotton cloth. A darn made this way will far outlast the article. Cracked Furniture. Ugly marks caused by slits or cracked places on furniture are easily filled in with beeswax and the mark is never detected. In fact, this is how furniture dealers cover such blemishes. First slightly soften the beeswax until it is like putty, then press firmly into the cracks, and smooth evenly with a thin steel knife. Of course a putty knife is best for the purpose, but a dull case knife will do. Sandpaper over the surrounding wood and work the dust into the beeswax. This gives a wood finish, or color, and when the furniture is varnished you will look in vain for the blemishes. Often this defect occurs in the panels of furniture, headboards or beds and tables, so try this method of mending and you will be delighted with the result. It is better than putty, since putty soon dries, crumbles and falls out, while beeswax remains forever just where it is placed. Glazed Currant Buns. Sorten a cake of compressed yeast in one-half cup of scalded and cooled milk and add to a pint of the same. Stir in about three cups of flour, beat until very smooth, then cover and set to rise. When light add one-half cup sugar, one-half cup softened butter, one teaspoonful salt, three eggs, one cup of cleaned currants and about three cups of flour. Knead until elastic and set to rise. When doubled in bulk roll out into a sheet and cut into rounds. Set the rounds a little distance apart on a baking sheet, and when doubled in bulk bake about 25 minutes. Brush over with this starch (a teaspoonful of cornstarch to a cup of boiling water), sprinkle thickly with granulated sugar, and return to the oven to glaze. Repeat the glazing process until a heavy coating is formed. This recipe makes two pans of buns. Ideal Wall Covering From a sanitary and even from an artistic standpoint nothing makes a better wall covering than a water color tint. This must be the right kind, though, that will not fade or streak or rub off. If you insist on having the beat, then will you know the comfort of being able to wipe down your walls once or twice a week with a dry soft cloth put over a broom or long-handed brush. Some of these wall tints are antiseptic and germicides, and can be painted over when it is desired to change the decoration of the room without washing off the under tint. Dainty Potatoes. Boll potatoes until thoroughly cooked; mash and stir in egg and one cup of milk, a teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Roll potatoes into balls the size of a tennis ball. Make a cup out of a lettuce leaf twisted and put in one ball. Arrange leaves and balls in a flat dish with slices of hard boiled eggs around edge and a sprig of parsley. Serve, with roast beef. Pillow Ticks. The brown spotted condition of pillow ticks is really grease and dirt that work through the ticks. Unbleached muslin silips put over the ticks save the pillows a great deal. They may be removed and washed. Put Hatpin In Cake. To keep layers of cake from slipping while leaping the top and slides take a new hatpin, kept for this purpose, stick it down through the three layers and allow it to remain till filling has hardened. ee = = * ‘i i, Si NS a ‘ . 6 ee ee mz ys @ ake «6 .

Henry Flathers and Dr. Tindall, the white delegate and alternate, respectively, failed to show up at the meeting held in True Reform- - ers’ Hall Tuesday night.

Indeed, not a white Republican of any standing attended these meetings, but col- -ored Republicans are attending blindly, and a few of them declare for the ticket. Candidate Horner came to the meeting late Thursday night and declared that the dismissed ex-de- tective was the best man on the force. Horner may know what is going on in Virginia, but certainly he did not read the testimony in the case. He had better go slow on that, The speeches of Attorney Scott do not appease the minds of the Horner and Filathers ticket. E. M. Hewlett a ndy Attorney Scott do not agree. It will be re- membered that Hewlett. declared for the Chase ticket a few weeks ago and denounced Horner. He has now repented and Has declared for his first abused love. Just be- fore the death of the late Justice O’Neal, Hewlett declared that all Negro officeholders had the lock- jaw; but at Justice O'Neal's death, Hewlett’s jaws became suddenly locked and the only thing that un- Jocked them was the appointment of another man justice of the peace They will remain locked until af- ter the next president is elected, and if he expects Horner to land him he wilt be weighed in the bal- ance and found wanting.

Does: this not look suspicious? There is a police regulation that forbids police officers from bother- ing with politics, but Fred Dyson, the crossing officer at Fifth and G streets, is very active. Still these officeholders claim to be for the] ticket that is against the Adminis- tration, Senator Foraker may be satisfied «with this ticket, but The Bee is. not. Is there none to do the Ad- ministration a service. There is something wrong in Denmark.’ Candidate Horner de- clared Tuesday night that he is for Senator Foraker, and he said that! if he was not nominated he weould| vote for a yellow dog. Neither! ticket represents the Republican party in. this city. Not in the his- tory of politics has such little in- terest been in shown as in the pres- ent contest. It will be a farce, and indeed the greatest political farce that has ever been presented in Re- publican politics. . These midnight meetings demon- strate just how little interest the white Republicans take in the pres- ent contest, There are at no time tendance. . Scenes in and around the pead- quarters of the candidates are dis- Busting. Men have quit their jobs to be idle, looking, as they say, for easy ‘money. . way HE SHOULD BE DE- FEATED. licans of this city will support the, ticket named by Mr. Sidney Bieber when it is a notorious fact that | Mr. Bieber is.the proprietor of the five-cent moving picture amusement rooms, otherwise called theatres, that discriminate against coloréd, citizens. There is not a theater in this city owned by Bieber that does not discriminate against reputable colored citizens, A few evenings ago a highly respectable colored Gtizen presented himself at the window on Ninth street near the | Avenue and asked for a ticket, He | was told that the space set apart for colored people was filled. The Editor of The Bee called at the same window to ascertain whether the statement made to him was true or false. The Editor ver- ified the statement that was made to him by the gentleman and his es- éort. Sg ITE The election of the Horner-Fla- thers ticket means, therefore, the election of Sidney Bieber, and his election means the endorsement, by colored and white Republicans, of his “Jim Crow” amusement rooms. Will colored Republicans especially be a party to the establishment of these “Jim Crow” theatres owned by Sidney Bieber. Is there no sense of manhood and womanhood in the colored race? It is said that the Horner-Flathers ticket is satisfac- tory to “Senator Foraker. That) may be all true enough, but it is not satisfactory to the people, and The Bee, with all due respect to the dis- tinguished Senator from Ohio. The colored Republicans have rights that other people must {re- spect. ; a If The Bee’s opposition to the Horner-Flathers ticket is not en- dorsed by Senator Foraker, it is ‘to be regretted that the Senator and The Bee at this time must part company. There is one thing The Bee can say with proud satisfaction. The Editor of The Bee has never met Senator Foraker personally; he has never asked him a favor, but the Editor of The Bee has supported Senator Foraker when all other white and colored Republicans weré afraid to open their mouths, The Bee ivas the figst journal in the United States to nominate Sen- ator Foraker for the presidency, and when the day looked dark and all others left him The Bee was loyal to him. The Bee is unlike all others in this city epscially: it has never asked the Senator one favor ,although The Bee has been his loyal supporter long before the Brownsville incident ;but when The Bee sees that a man like Sidney Bieber wants the votes of the col- oréd people to elevate him, when he is conducting theatres that dis- criminate against colored .Ameri- cans, the time has come then to call a halt, Senator Foraker to the con- trary notwithstanding. Mr, Flathers has never affiliated with the, Republicans in his life, and it is unfortunate for Mr. Hor- ner that he is mixed up in this com- pany. The support of this ticket by the colored people means that} they endorse Sidney Bieber and] his “Jim Crow” theatres. Colored citizens, have you any manhood or womanhood? Colored men, have) you any respect for your mothers, daughters and sweethearts? If you have, don’t endorse this“Jim Crow” | lily-white, quasi Republican ticket. THE COMING FARCE. The Editor of The Bee begs leave Yo call the attention of the Republicans to the coming election farce, which is to take place short. ly. The so-called Election Board, with the exception of one member, has violated its own rules and those of the National, Committee. The so-called election of delegates under the rules of Messrs. Bieber and Cranford will not be sustained by the National Committee, and under the circumstances Mr. Chase tumedr out to welcome the United and his delegation will ask for the suffrages of the Republican voters. No delegates under the Bieber call Will be legal. . | There will be two registrations of Republican voters and two sets of delegates to go from this city to the National Republican Con- vention. All loyal Republicans who ee in fair play and are anxious to have a representative Republi- can on the National Committee should register for the Home Rule ticket, which Mr. Bieber and the other member of his committee failed to register. Certainly the ticket will have the right to be placed on the rolls of the tempor- ‘ary organization. DON’T BE GBECEIVED. It is hoped: that the Republicans of this city will not be deceived. It is hoped that they will have pride enough to and discretion enough to do their own thinking and not Permit other people to think for them, The Republicans of this city know what they want and the class of men who are best to represent them. It is not every person who cries “Good Lord, I am a Chris- tian,” who should be trusted, The Bee no doubt will be called upon to give its advice in the ex- isting contest. The Bee has never knowingly deceived the people, and neither will it be a party to de- ception. Republicans, therefore, are warned not to be deceived, but use good judgment always. Men who have kept the Republican par- ty together should be the proper men to have the suffrages of the people. WHAT DID IT MEAN? The absence of Sidney Bieber from his office last Saturday mom- ing, and the failure of his commit- tee to meet to receive the tickets of the candidates for delegates was very significant. The sub-commit- tee of the National Committee will be requested to appoint a new com- mittee, as the call and workings of the present committee are illegal. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS.

Ae RACE. “In his funeral sermon over the re- mains of Mrs, Ida D. Bailey, of the city of Washington, D, C., Rev. F. J. Grimke said: A short while ago, after a terrible fit of suffering, when it seemed as if the end was approaching, she be- lieved that she was really nearly the end, and, asking to be lifted up, she called for pen, paper, and ink, and with great labor and trembling hand, wrote out a bricf statement which she wanted handed to me after she was gone. It contained instructions concerning her funeral, and some other things. It begins: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they, shall see God.” Reading: *“Fwenty-third Psalm, “the Lord’ is my- shepherd,” 1. °“One sweetly solemn thought.” 2. “I shall see him face to face.” 3. “Not half has ever been told.” It then goes on:. “I have this ines- sage for those who love me: Live for God. Give your heart to him. | And your life, if need be, for the emancipation of the Negro race in this land of his birth. Fight race discrimination. Fight the “Jim Crow” cars. Lend a hand to Monroe Trotter; hold up his hands; for if you don’t agree with all his methods, you know he is honest in this ques- tion. Hold up his hands. God hates a coward; be brave men; be brave women. down from above, if I can, and continue my interest. God bless my poor race, and lead them on through this wilderness.” From this you will see what a large. place this race occupied in her heart, and how, to the very last, she con- tinued to think about it. Only a few days before she passed away, as I ralked with hér, she would say every now and then, “My poor race, my poor race.” The impress of death was already on her face, but it could not efface the thoughts of her poor race. Forget Not Her Words, Don’t Sur- render Don’t let us forget her dying words to us: * “Be brave men, be brave wo- men.” What she meant was: Don’t yecome discouraged, don’t lose heart; jon’t cowardly surrender your rights as American citizens — right guar- anteed to you under the Constitu- ion, under the great war Amend- ments — rights that have come to you after a baptism of blood — rights hat have been paid for, richly pur- chased. See to it, is what she is saying to us, in this great democratic republic, that you acquit yourselves ike men and women, that you insist 1pon and keep on insisting upon be- ng treated, civilly and politically,and nm every other respect, as other cit- ens of the republic are treated. With less than this no manly man, no wo- manly woman ought to be content. And this is her message to this race of ours all over the country. We shall see her face no more in the flesh, but her spirit need not de: nash foam ne {ad oran? tha? t¢ maw never, but that it may be constantly hovering about us, and that her dying words may often be heard ringing in our ears: “Be brave men; be brave women.” .

Melendez King at the Second Baptist Lyceum last Sunday afternoon and entered into enthusiastic discussion of his address on "The Rights of man." Mr. King traced the growth and development of human rights among the peoples of the world, giving special emphasis to the tendency of all nations who, as they appreciated enlightenment through civilization, to recognize without regard to sex the inherent and endowed rights of all humanity, He pointed out, in the clearest manner, that all rights, whether of liberty, property, or the franchise, in democracy, or monarchy, were predicated upon the fulfilment of one's duty to society. In touching on the rights to enjoy the franchise of a democracy or a republic, he pointed out the necessity of the better prepared element of his race taking a more active interest in formulating the plans and policies for the training of the adult as well as the youth in the duties of civic virtue. "An opportunity, not only for observation but for action," said he, "lies at our very door today, and you, my friends, need only to look into the columns of the daily press or to walk about the streets and observe the groups of unguided and unprepared men discussing the quadrennial selection of men to represent the Capital of this great nation in a national convention to name its Chief Executive. I have listened with growing impatience to our many orators and thinkers who demand, and justly so, that our race be standardized by men like our own Frederick Douglass and our Booker T. Washington, but so long as you permit the submerged, because neglected, masses of our people to remain in ignorance of civic duty and race pride; you must expect to be rated by their standard, and so long as you neglect to give your time and your service to their moral, mental and spiritual uplift, you cannot complain of the rating given your race. You cannot get away from your people; you should not want to get away from them, and I do not believe that you do; but I do know that unless you men, and you women too, make your influence felt for civic righteousness in your local situation now and at all times, that your rights will be restricted and your standard as citizens will be rated just in proportion as you permit the unprepared, and in fat too many instances, unfit representatives of our race to be led into a barbaric demonstration of demand for privileges, without the thought of performing, or the record of having performed, any of the simpler civic duties. "My friends," he continued, "the unlettered and untutored of our people are not to blame; it is rather you and I; they are ready to respond, not to words and idle vaporings alone, but appeal to you and to me to teach by example, as well as by precept, the social, moral, and civic virtues that will make our rating as a great race, growing up within a greater nation and an integral part thereof, respond to standards as set for all people who may well demand the rights and privileges and recognitions which must follow the fulfillment of every civic obligation. "And, finally, my people, in all matters affecting the rights of human kind, if we would-enjoy them as we should, we must demand by conquest, in the meeting of every social, civic and moral obligation, and not accept them as any temporary bequest as a patrimony for having been used, and I can join you in voicing what we all believe and know, that the future of the individual, the race, the nation, and allhumanity is absolutely secure if we only do our duty."

Davis, principal of Armstrong Night High school, the industrial and commercial classes of which had their closing exercises last Friday evening, has engaged a suite of rooms on the second floor of the building at the southwest corner of Fourteenth and S streets northwest (over 'Underdown's fruit and delicatessen store), where he will reopen his Business College and School of Languages. In addition to evening classes in shorthand, typewriting, etc., which will be taught by him in person, arrangements have been made to form either day or evening classes in Spanish, French, German, Latin, and Greek, these latter classes being, for the most part, taught by native teachers. The success which has attended the efforts of Mr. Davis along this line, and the reasonable rates charged for instruction in any of the above mentioned subjects, justifies the prediction that the large, airy, and well-lighted rooms selected for the new location of his business college will be crowded with young men and women who desire practical business training by practical teachers of many years' experience. Professor Davis is the official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, having reported its conventions held in New York city, Atlanta, and Topeka, Kansas. He has had nineteen years' practical experience as stenographer, typewriter, and bookkeeper among prominent lawyers, national banks, trust companies and in the public service. At one time he was private secretary to the mayor of his home town, Louisville, Ky. Shorthand work, including verbatim reporting, typewriting, fancy penmanship on visiting cards, invitations, etc., as well as engrossing of over two white Republicans in atiplomas and other documents, will be neatly and accurately done at reasonable rates. New classes are being formed, and those desiring to enter either as beginners or as advanced students would do well to write or call at the residence of the principal, No. 1701 Tenth street. The proper way to cut soldiers out of the army is: First, charges and specifications; second, court-martial to investigate said charges; third, findings and recommendations; fourth, final action by the War Department; fifth, appeal to the President, if unable to get satisfaction from the War Department, but in the case of the Twenty-fifth the President assumed original jurisdiction, like was done in 1896 at Washington, D. C., and which problem the court is now trying to solve. As a result of investigations of the evils of the schools of Washington, D.C., they consist of wooden stairways, irregular exits, antiquated fire escapes, doors that open inward, unprotected floors over furnaces, unsuitable fire signals, buildings with one staircase only, etc. Last Friday Senator Carter, of Montana, excoriated Sidney Bieber in the case of the Anacostia Flats. The "Abe Reuf of Washington" was one of the characterizations given Bieber by the Senator, who in his speech on the matter fairly scorched and sizzled ieber. No such arraignment of an individual has been heard at the Capitol for years. The Senator also denounced the tax title sharks, said to have been operating here for a long time. Last Friday Senator Bacon of Georgia, in the course of debate, attacked the President for usurpation of authority; also alleged efforts on the part of the White House to coerce Congress into following the Executive will.

When the scum arises let it simmer gently for about an hour, then strain it through a fine sieve or napkin, let it stand ten minutes, to settle, and then pour off the clear tea. An onion and a few grains of black pepper may be added. If the meat is boiled till it is thoroughly tender you may mince it and pound it make potted beef. Banana Split.

The evangelistic meetings at the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church —N street between Ninth and Tenth streets northwest — are attracting large crowds, and already more than three hundred conversions are reported. At the services lastSunday more than six hundred stood up for prayer and about twenty-five hundred people attended throughout the day. The Rev. Simon P. W.

This method of preserving pineapple without cooking has long been in use in the south, and it preserves the flavor of the fruit better than the usual way of preserving. Pare sound ripe pineapples with a sharp knife, remove the eyes with a silver knife, cut the fruit half an inch thick and weigh it, weigh a fourth more granulated sugar than fruit, use glass jars large enough at the top to admit the slices of pineapple. In the bottom of the jars put an inch of sugar, then alternate thick layers of pineapple and sugar until the jar is filled, having plenty of sugar on top. Seal the jars perfectly air tight; the success of the preserving depends upon this. The finest fruit is required. Whole preserved pineapples were the pride of southern housekeepers. The fruit carefully washed and the pineapple boiled in sufficient warm water to cover it until tender enough to pierce it with a broomstraw, after the pineapple is cooled carefully peel and then weigh an equal quantity of sugar, put it in a deep kettle large enough to contain the pines, cover with a gill of water to each pound; boil and skim until it becomes a clear srup, in this the pines are boiled 20 minutes, then cooled and put with the srup into glass jars, which must be sealed air tight. BOIL THE HOUSEHOLD SILVER. Will Give Appearance of Newness to Treasured Articles. One of the best-known methods of making silver that is in constant use look like new again and of removing every trace of dullness for some time to come, says the New York Tribune, is to put the various articles in a large tin wash boiler, after a thorough polish with either hartshorn and whiting or silicon, and to cover them with water into which a handful of washing soda has been thrown, and allow the water to boil for two or three hours. On removal, a good "rubbing with a soft chamois is productive of a very high polish. In the case of handsome hand-made pieces, with repousse or embossed designs in high relief, this is actually the only way of getting the deposits of cleaning powders out of the crevices, and for several weeks rubbing is all that is necessary to bring them up to the proper brilliancy. Once a month or once in six weeks is the time limit for these silver bollings, for otherwise the maids grow to depend upon their efficacy and neglect the weekly cleaning. Some Kitchen Hints.

Wet the goods in this and hang in the shade to dry. A good share of my ironing is done with a clothes wringer. If taken while still damp, pillow cases, towels, sheets and all rough pieces can be successfully treated this way. This means a considerable saving of fuel and labor. Not long ago I banished from the kitchen wardrobe all the checks, denims and tickling aprons and replaced them with a smaller number of oilcloth and waterproof aprons, long skirted, bibbed and pocketed. No form of work could spoil or stain them; they called for not tedious washing or ironing, but could be cleansed like a slate with a moist cloth.—The Circle. Pretty Lunchson Idea. A pretty idea for the last course of a luncheon is to let your guests toast marshmallows. Purchase as many small candles—such as are used for a Christmas tree or birthday cake, the color scheme of your luncheon—as you have guests. Fasten the candles to plates with sonic melted wax from the candle and place two marshmallows and a pair of candy tongs like confectioners put in candy boxes on each plate. Individual oyster berry forks can be used in place of the tongs if you cannot get the candy tongs. It makes laughter and fun, and breaks the ice for the rest of the afternoon. Black Chocolate Cake. Set-in pan of water and boil until thick, one egg (yolk), one-half cup sugar, one-half cup sweet milk and one-fourth cake chocolate. While cooling, beat one cup sugar and one-half cup butter to a cream, add two eggs and one-half cup sour milk, with one level teaspoon soda in, also two cups sifted flour and two teaspoonfuls of vanilla, and lastly the chocolate part. Bake in layers or loaf and ice with the remaining white stirred to a cream with confectioners sugar and a few drops of lemon extract." Cocoanut Cookies Beat to a cream one cupful butter and two cupfuls sugar. Add two beaten eggs, one grated cocoanut, two teaspoonfuls baking powder and flour enough to roll thin. Bake in a quick oven, but do not brown. Rusty Steel Ornaments. To clean rusty steel ornaments a paste is made of powdered crocus and turpentine; this is rubbed on the ornament and left to dry, then brushed off, and the steel is polished with a chamois leather. Cherry Tart. Get the stoned cherries. Put them into a deep baking dish; sprinkle them with flour, bits of butter and a cup of sugar. Cover with a rich pie crust and bake. Serve slightly warm. EDF.

Reolpe Given Here, in Respect of Materials and Quantities, Is Intended for the Beginner at Making Dainties. As fondant is the foundation for all the fine French candles, a good working knowledge of how to make it is essential. Molasses candy can be made on a damp day, fondant never. The materials needed are the best granulated sugar for the cream, a small quantity of confectioner's sugar to be used in the kneading, vegetable color pastes that can be purchased at any first-class confectioner's or made at home, a little cream of tartar, and then the fillings, flavorings, nuts, etc., that are to be used in connection with the fondant. For flavoring the ordinary extracts are used, also maraschino and other cordials. The formula for fondant is always the same: A pound of grauated sugar (that is, two ordinary cupfuls), one cupful hot water, and a half teaspoonful cream of tartar. This is the easiest quantity to handle for the amateur. After a little experience the quantity can be doubled, as fondant can be made and kept on hand. Put the ingredients into a granite saucepan with an extra heavy bottom, and stir over a slow fire until the sugar is dissolved, but not a moment longer. After it has become a clear sirup stirring will cause it to granulate. Heat rapidly to the boiling point, wiping gently away with a damp cloth any moisture that appears on the sides of the pan. If this drops back into the pan it is apt to make the sirup granulate also. If any scum arises, remove EDF PINAUD'S HAIR It carefully. After cooking ten minutes begin testing in cold water. If it will make a soft ball when rolled between the fingers it is just right and must be at once removed from the fire. Set aside in the pan in which it has cooked to cool. Do not try to hasten this by setting in cold water. Let it take its time. When cool, not cold, begin stirring energetically with a wooden paddle. In a few moments it will look cloudy, then whiten and grow thick and creamy. When too stiff to stir, take in the hands and knead like bread dough. There is no chance of overdoing this, for its lightness depends upon the thoroughness of the kneading. When quite light and creamy it is ready for use, though it is better to put away a day, as confectioners do, to mellow and ripen. Pack in an earthen dish and cover airtight with a slightly dampened cloth. This will keep for weeks if desired. When sufficient fondant has been prepared it is ready for the coloring. All colors, extracts and flavors must be as concentrated as possible, so as not to thin the fondant too much. If you make your own colorings green is made by cooking spinach leaves a few moments in a little water. Strain and bottle. To obtain red, boll one ounce powdered cochineal in a cup of water for five minutes, then add one ounce cream of tartar and a half ounce powdered alum and cook ten minutes longer. While hot add two ounces sugar, and bottle. For pink use a few drops cochineal or a little cranberry juice, or the pink coloring that comes with some gelatines. For blue, rub indigo in a little water on a plate. Caramel or chocolate give a dark brown. The grated rind of a dark skinned orange soaked in a small quantity of its juice, then strained, gives yellow, as also the yolk of an egg. Fruit juices also furnish good colorings for fondant. | j me EB V T ! ip : a O I G a & : (@. +s \\S MANUFACTURINGJEWELER Y, ah a ANS ; Lae Besos TES AGA 725 7th Street, Northwest : +» JU .

He was the first Englishman to reside in Japan. and his services to civilization in that land were of great importance.

Immediately upon their ar- rival Adams and his shipmates were taken prisoners, and their presence reported to Emperor lyeyash. “At the time Adams arrived in Japan the emperor Was engaced in a con- filct with the Jesuits He feared the religionists were plotting to gain con- trol of the government, and he had degud gathering information® upon which an edict was based a few years later.

The sailor was assigned to many Important du ties, such as thes building of a fleet.

He js metallurgy’s genius, combining into one personality as he does the last of the old tyne of practical miner, the first of the new miner of science and the genius of the adventurous, gold hunter. The story of his life is the history of the exploitation and operation of the rich- est mines on earth, and one by no means barren of high romance. Mr. Hammond was born in San Francisco in 1855, when the California gold quest was near Its zenith, and it may be said of him that the atmos- phere he breathed bore the fever of gold-love. In his youth Hammond al- ready was the wonder of the old miners because of his knack in find- Ing gold and his apparently innate knowledge of gold bearing ores. The great wealth of the late Cecil Rhodes is due to the famous Ameri- ‘can engineer more than to any other single man. When the South African Exploitation company was organized Hammond was called at a salary then utterly unheard of. It was he who found the Rand gold.

Rules That Must Be Observed to Attain Success. To broil a steak properly is one of the most important undertakings in cookery. Many cooks send it to table turned on the outside while the interior is raw, while others cook it into a dry tastelessness. There are several rules to be observed if the steak is to be a success. The fire should be clear and free from smoke, the gridiron should be scrupulously clean, well heated and greased before the meat is put on. If the fire is too hot the meat will be hardened and scorched; if not hot enough the juice will escape and the steak will be "fabby." The gridiron should be held sloppily over the fire so that the fat may run off to the back of the grate. If it drops on the coal a blaze will result which will blacken the meat and cause it to have a smoky flavor. If, however, by chance, a blaze should happen during the time the steak is broiling the gridiron must be caught and held away from the fire until the flame is gone. A little salt thrown on the fire will prevent this. Should the fire be too brisk raise the gridiron on two bricks, one on each side of the opening. Steaks should be turned often in order that they may be done in every part. The fork used for this purpose should never be stuck in the lean of the beef, as it causes the gravity to escape; it must be put in the outer skin or fat. HOUSEHOLD HINT8. Verdigris on metal can be removed by rubbing it with liquid ammonia. Put a little saltpeter in the water used for cut flowers, for it will make them last much longer. A piece of lime or charcoal in the new refrigerator will prevent the "new" odor and taste from clinging to eatables. To scent an invalid's room heat a shovel and drop on it a little oil of sandalwood. This may be bought of any chemist, and it will give a delightful perfume to a room. For cleaning brass emery powder made into a paste with paraffin is excellent. Use like any other polish, and with the addition of a fair amount of "albew grease" a very good result is obtained. Vaseline makes a stain on linen, which should be removed before the article is sent to the laundry, for it is set by soap. Soak such stains in kerosene, alcohol or turpentine before touching them with water. Almond Icing. A delicious icing for fruit cake is made of almonds. This is a favorite treatment of this cake in many English families, but is little used in America. While the oil of almond may be used to make the icing, it is much better if made from the fresh nuts. Blanch and pound in a mortar to a smooth paste one ounce of sweet almonds and a few bitter ones. Add a little rose water when the almonds begin to look oily. This can be mixed either with confectioners' sugar and white of egg, or it is even better when used with plain boiled icing. If you do not care for iced fruit cake this almond mixture is very good on the ordinary ice-cream cakes. Teddy Bear Pudding. "Teddy bear pudding with dee-lighted" sauce is one of the odd features of a tearoom bill-off-affair and has proved one of its best drawing cards. The pudding has no especial relation to its name. It is a frozen custard, rich with glace fruits and French chestnuts, and is toppled with whipped cream flavored delicately with wine. A home-made version of the pudding would call for an ordinary custard sweetened a little more than is necessary when the custard is not to be frozen a few French chestnuts boiled tender and mashed through a sleeve whitle hot and glace fruits of any or all kinds cut fine. Stuffing for Pillows Dried grass clippings, thoroughly sun dried in order to remove all possible dampness, makes a soft pillow. Corn husks treated in a similar manner are splendid for porch pillows. Milkweed pods also are used for this purpose. Gather them when ready to burst, remove the seeds and center and put down into your pillow for softness equal to those you purchase at the store. For hard, ornamental pillows fill with cotton batting all the slip will possibly hold. These you can stand anywhere. Excelslor and newspapers torn in tiny strips also are good and lighter in weight. Mend with Ravellings. Gashes or rents which have been torn in tailored suits or any woolen or colored cotton fabric can be darned so as not to be noticeable even though in a conspicuous place, by darning with the ravelings of the goods, clipping all frayed edges closely and carefully and pressing over a thin cloth wring out of water, with a hot iron. Stewed Beets. Cook six medium sized beets. When soft, peel and chop in dice. Take water and vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, one dessert spoon of sugar, butter the size of a walnut. Cook all together 15 minutes, then thicken with flour to the consistency of cream. Serve in side dish as a vegetable. Grated Horseradish. Add grated horseradish to taste to a plain cream sauce when served with baked fish. 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 Indus-trial 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.

It seems like the Big Stick is catching it all around The time is now here for the Negro of the United States to stop the knifing act; support our leaders; help our worthy distressed members of the race; support each other in business; be good citizens, remembering that the Negro has been in every war this country has had; also that he was brought here two hundred and eighty-eight years ago against his will and forced to build the white brother up on the lands which he got from the red brother; all factions to unite, act square with each other in business dealings; the ministers in the pulpit to preach race unity and race pride, and above all things get education — the rest will follow.The Chinse have their Six Companies in the United States; the Italians their Mafia and Black Hand; but we want a strong black league in this country to advance and protect the interests of the American Negro.
