THE BEE WASHINGTON CONGERSSIONAL LIBRARY WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MAY 2, 1908. THEIR WORK IN THE SOUTH. A Handsome Gift to Ferguson's and Williams' School. December 5th, 1882, Miss Ella Virginia Chase (familiarly called Jennie Chase), one of the best teachers in the public schools of Washington city, married the Rev. E. W. Williams and went to Abbeville, South Carolina. They soon saw the needs of their people from an industrial and educational point of view, and in January, 1883, founded the institution which they have presided over for about twenty-six years — Ferguson Williams College. At the very start they introduced into their school industrial work, which was regarded as an innovation among those for whom they labored. The enlargement of their work has been hampered for want of funds. But, notwithstanding this, they operated the departments of domestic science and art for the girls, and gardening and farming for the boys, as well as the academic courses. Their present quarters are inadequate and the buildings too small to accommodate the many students who desire to attend the institution. Hence the Rev. Mr. Williams has secured a forty-acre tract of land, to which he contemplates moving the present buildings and erecting others, including a domestic science hall. The first gift received for this purpose was from the late Mrs. Fannie Graves Lathorn, a Christian Southern woman. A noble character! She was only known to the Rev. E. W. and Mrs. Williams through correspondence. The following is Mrs. Fanny G. Lathorn's bequest to various charitable objects: I give to Mr. Snedecoe, secretary of the Southern Presbyterian Board of Evangelizations the sum of four hundred dollars for the improvement of and removing of Rev. Mr. Williams' college at Abbeville, South Carolina. 4132 Also the sum of one hundred dollars to the Rev Mr. Williams and his wife, of said college, to use as they please. Also the sum of eighty dollars to Mr. Williams for the use of a certain poor, sick missionary colored boy who is now in the care of the same Rev Mr. Williams. All the rest and residue of my etsate I give, devise and bequeath to the American Tract Society, mentioned in Item IX of this will, and to the Rev Mr. Snedecoe in trust for the use of the school at Abbeville, South Carolina, and to the Rev Mr. Williams, mentioned in Item V777, who is the president. The portions shall be, one half to the American Tract Society and of the other half the school shall have four-fifths and the Rev Mr. Williams and his wife one-fifth. Who next will assist this great work? From the institution have gone many men and women who are doing useful work in all walks of life, as uplifters of their race. The immediate need is more money for the erection of new buildings. COL. PHIL WATERS. From the Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette. Among the many colored applicants for the position of State Librarian, made vacant by the death of the late Sam Starks, the one that looms biggest to those who are not politically interested in the appointment is that of Phil Waters. There is not much hope that Waters can ever be appointed (but those real- sons are political.) He is qualified in every way for the position both by experience and education. He has been Librarian of the House of Delegates, corporation clerk of the Secretary of State's office, clerk of the Finance Committee of the city of Charleston, chief clerk of Finance Committee of State Senate and of Finance Committee of House of Delegates, two sessions, and has held many other positions all tending to fit him for the office. Apart from this is his wide acquaintance among the leading lawyers of the State, and his personality has won him many friends. He is polite and affable, and competent. But political reasons will probably crush him. THE DEMOSTHENES. From Charleston (W.Va.) Mail. Recently Phil Waters, the Demosthenes of the colored race, was honored again by the Republicans of the Fifth Congressional District, who elected him, for the fifth time, a member at large of the Congressional Committee of the District. At present Waters is an efficient assistant in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court of Appeals. He is one of the brightest young men of his race and has been of valuable assistance in making majorities in the Third District. THE ELECTION. Chairman Bieber Knocks Out a Trick. The election for delegates to the National Republican Convention was held last Tuesday, which resulted in the election of Henry F. Flathers and R. R. Horner as delegates, and Daniel Murray and Dr. William Tindall as alternates. The withdrawal of the Burt-Patterson ticket caused no little consternation among those who had anticipated a large rake-down. The supposed friends of Chairman Bieber inaugurated a scheme to defeat his election for National Committeeman by the defeat of his ticket. Chairman Bieber was made wise, and the political traitors were defeated. They received a just rebuke. One man struck Chairman Bieber for three hundred dollars for his church. It was quite evident in Chairman Bieber's mind that the church would never see it, so he kept a string to it. The judges did up the business in a systematic and scientific manner. Previous to the day of the election there were fully two hundred hungry-looking politicians in and around the headquarters, 609 F street northwest. Candidate Horner left his office about 6.30 p.m.; boarded a Seventh-Street car, and left for his home. He ducked the blow. Chairman Bieber wore a smile that would not come off. That smile will remain until after he is named National Committeeman by the delegation. The fight for National Committeeman was begun as far back as December, 1907, and Chairman Bieber never lost an opportunity to impress that fact on the minds of the voters. In the Fourteenth District Mr. Douglass P. Syphax polled a large complimentary vote, and had he been in the fight there is no doubt that he would have been elected. Mr. Gaskins was sold out, body and soul; but he made a game fight. Attorney Gaskins was impressed with the idea that politics was as fair and just as the law. Between now and 1911 he will have been convinced that there is a difference, and he will act accordingly. Mr. Horner declared some time ago that he would never vote for Mr Taft. The prediction of The Bee is that both delegates will be found in the Taft column, either on the first or the second ballot. All it quiet and serene and the medicine that was dosed out for Mr. Bieber was given to his foes. There is much rejoicing at the City postoffice over the appointment of Mr. Haycock. One friend prayed for the change for over six months. Rev. F. A. Walker, pastor of the Divinity, Baptist Church, is one of our rising young divines. What I Saw And Heard What I Saw And Heard Why make admiration at a fellow creature who happens to lose office or money when today princes of the royal blood work. Take, for instance. Prince Paleologue of Greece, working for five dollars per week, lost his job and now filling the position of escort to women shoppers. If we would learn to help more those who are down we would help to a great extent to solve the Negro problem of the United States. United efforts; mutual benefits. Mrs. James Wright of Memphis, Tenn., white, shot and killed Leila Gorden, colored, and started to shoot Mary Davis, also colored, last week. She was arrested.

The augmented choir of one hundred voices was directed by Mr. Ernest Amos, who also carried the bass THE NEW YORK TIMES solos and recitatives with excellent effect. The tenor roles were well rendered by Mr. George Henry Murray. Miss Emma J. Murray presided at the organ. The occasion was made especially notable by the presence of Miss Ethel Roosevelt,daughter of President Roosevelt, who is a teacher in St.Mary's Sabbath School. Vicar-Rector O. L. Mitchell was assisted during the evening by Rector Roland Cotton Smith, of St. John's, of which stately church St. Mary's is a mission. The executive committee of the National Medical Association is getting things in shape to make the next meeting the best that has yet been held. One of the most prominent features of the New York session in August will be the report of the committee on education and the adoption of plans looking to the improvement of Negro medical schools. The committee appointed to report on this work is composed of Dr. H. F. Gamble, of Charleston, W. Va., who is chairman of the executive board; Dr. John E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky., and Dr. J. Q. McDougall, of Philadelphia. The success and magnitude of the Medical Association is due in large measure to Dr. John A. Kenney, of Tuskegee Institute, the energetic secretary, assisted by Drs. W. H. Wright, the president, Drs. H. F. Gamble, Charles Roberts, A. Wilberforce Williams, A. M. Curtis, George C. Hall, H. S. McCard, Amanda V. Gray and others. Dr. P. A. Johnson, of New York, chairman of the local committee on next meeting, is very prominently mentioned in connection with the next presidency. It is pretty generally conceded that among those certain to win out at the Norfolk General Conference is Mr. Ira T. Bryant, who aspires to be secretary of the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church. At the regular meeting of the MuSo-Lit musical, isocial and literary organization for men, the following well-known persons were elected to membershiphip: Messrs. H. Clifford, of Ohio; R. W.

Thompson, of 1348 Wallach Place. Mrs. Ruby Page Hughes has resigned her position at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Mr. Emmett Jackson, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed at Fort Madison, N. Y., was in the city last week, visiting his parents, after an absence of ten years. His brother, Mr. H. Oliver Jackson, of Philadelphia, came down also, and the meeting took on the aspect of a family reunion at the homestead, 1407 East Capitol street.

Washington demonstration, is again in charge of the arrangements, and as he never does things by halves a perfect program may be expected. S. LAING WILLIAMS' APPOINTMENT. Gives Widespread Satisfaction to the Rank and File of Negro Republicans of the Country— The appointment of Mr. S. Laing Williams, of Chicvago, as Assistant United States Attorney, in charge of naturalization, has given unqualified satisfaction to the colored people at his home and throughout the country and has placed the Administration in favor in many camps heretofore disposed to be hostile or suspicious of its attitude toward the race. So potent, it seems, was the appointment in bringing order out of chaos in the Chicago political atmosphere that the convention of the First Congressional District, represented by Mr. Martin B. Madden, in which reside nearly twelve thousand Negro voters, the two delegates selected were instructed for Taft, taking this husky slice of strength from Cannon, with a score Messrs. Oscar DePriest, the County Commissioner, and Edgar H. Wright, are coolled leaders of acknowledged influence and standing. They and their thousands of supports are honorable and upright citizens, patriotic and race-loving to the last degree, and no one with an ounce of gumption will pretend to say they would risk their future by throwing their influence to the Secretay of War, as against Cannon and the rest, did they not conscientiously believe that his nomination and election hold out the promise of the greatest good to their people. The result in this highly-colored district is said to have put a quietus upon the silly talk that the Negroes of Illinois are unaletrably opposed to Taft, and would support a Democrat in preference to him. of colored delegates sitting in the convention and co-operating heartily in the rather surprising program. The two alternate delegates chosen. Attorney General Bonaparte holds that the bill increasing the pensions of widows of the Civil War is not invalid because the President signed it on Sunday. He says without the President's signature at all the bill would have become a law within a period of ten days. The recent returns from the police census show an increase in the population of the District of Columbia. Total population 33,403; 241,920 classed as white, and 7,483 classed as colored. The death of Mrs. Clara, Florida Bacchus Lyon, the wife of Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, American Minister to Liberia, was sudden, and the funeral took place the 11th of last month, and was attended by State officials, Diplomatic Corps, and citizens. Mrs. Lyon, formerly Miss Bacchus, was at one time a student at Howard University. She was married to Dr. Lyon in 1903. We learn from the Philadelphia Pilot that its editor, Mr. Samuel Stemons, was assaulted at his place of business a few days ago by some vulgar men, when spoken to by the editor about their language.

He pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial. The subject of an address delivered by Gen. Andrew S. Burt, U. S. A., retired, in the Walker Memorial Baptist Church last Sunday evening, was "The Negro Soldier." The permit clerk of the District was this week engaged in distributing and allotting the new tags for motor cycles. The $900 discovered several weeks ago remaining to the credit of the Police Court Jury fund, is about exhausted, and all prisoners demanding jury trials will have to wait. It has been announced that the Supreme Court of the United States will adjourn for the term. June 1. According to accounts received from Atlanta, Ga., last Monday, the list of those who perished in the tornado numbered 376.

A single plece does not satisfy the aver. age woman. She wants half a dozen es more, while a lucky winner at “bridge” or one who knows where to [pick up odd bits of this ware will rejoice in a small army of animals, fat ttle boys and ruddy cheeked girls. It is a fad to-have at least one mantel in one’s country house literally packed ‘With Staffordshire figures. There will be cats of every hue, dogs that are fat and woolly and dogs that are lean and spotted, flower girls, boy peddlers, men, women and horses in this china- ‘ware army, which takes up the whale ‘mantel itself. Very little of this Staffordshire ware is really old, yet occasionally one does find a genuine antique. It is imported, however, and it is not common enough to be tiresome as yet. The antique shops carry pieces of the new as well as ihe old, and they are ordering quan- titles more to meet the demand the new fad has created. For “bridge” Parties Staffordshire ware {s a great favorite. 7 FROM FIVE POUNDS OF VEAL. Three Meals and a Fine Soup May Be Prepared.

This 1s a very handsome bag, the material of which would never be suspected when the bag is once finished, The tin ends of the shoestrings of course should be clipped off after the weaving process {1s finished. |. Preparing Fruits and Vegetables for the Table—All fruits and green vege- tables, also dried or fresh mushrooms and figs, should be carefully inspected and washed before they are served at table or cooked, in order that no in- seet Ife may be left hidden In some crack or corner. Spinach especially should be minutely examined and washed again and again in cold run- ning water Lefore it is put into the saucepan, Hidden ynder the spinach leaves close to the stems are small White worms which usually make thelr appearance in the spring and fall. They so nearly resemble the leat {tself that they are apt to be over- looked. _ Regarding Cooks—Be sure that your. cook and other maids have comfort- able beds and well afred, nicely fur- hished ‘rooms; the cook especially, whose moods are apt to color those of the family, if she be well lodged in attractive quarters after her long day's work {s apt to look upon life mpre cheerfully. The maid's room, in an apartment, is nearly always impos- sibly small and cramped. If, however, it is a nicely furnished room, with curtains and pictures, to make it home- like, the maid will have some pride in keeping it neat. Children's Shoe Laces—To keep the | children’s shoe laces from untyIng have the ends of the laces wet before tying the usual knot. They will nat | come untied during the day. English Breakfast. ~ ‘The English have a knack of serv. ing breakfast in a tempting manner. The silver toast rack with delicate slices of hot, crisp toast, the plate of hot muffins, well buttered, are quite & meal in themselves. Steaks and chops are rarely seen on an English breakfast table. Bacon {s much used and often a dish of cold meat is seen jon the table, The bacon fs usually served in a silver breakfast dish which has a receptacle for boiling wa- ter underneath, which keeps the meat hot. It ts always crisp end beautifully cooked. There is hardly a breakfast without eggs, but these are bolled at the table with one of the many devices for bolling eggs over an alcohol lamp. They are always placed in an Individ- ual egg cup, and the top removed with the spoon. 7 Keeping Filberte Molat.

Mx all together, then add ‘one cup vinegar, and butter size of an egg. Cook in a double boiler, stirring frequently, till it thickens. This makes quite a lot. but It.can be kept in jars in a cool place several weeks. Lamb Stew. Take the neck or breast of lamb, parboll and cut in pleces, then put on in cold water, enough to cover It, adding a large onion cut fine, a large slice of bacon cut fine, black and red pepper and salt. After cooking until all bones can be extracted, add canned tomatoes and corn and half a pound of butter. Before serving add stale bread crumbs, Serve in a tureen. To Remove a Ring. Thread a needle with a strong thread; pass carefully under the ring head first, wind the thread tightly around the finger regularly all down to the nall to reduce its size. Then take hold of the short end of the thread and unwind it, The thread pressing against the ring gradually will remove It from finger. A Hint About Sewing, _ If you have a small place to gather on a garment do not put on your gatherer or do it by hand.

Dish That Figured Often on the ~ Tables of Our Ancestors, Apple slump is an old-fashioned dish, but noze the less acceptable on Recount of Its antiquity. Pare, core and quarter a dozen tart, juicy apples, turn over them a cupful of boiling }water and set where they will begin to cook. Five minutes later add to the apples two cups of molasses and cook five or more minutes, while you prepare a very soft biscult dough, using for a pint of flour a teaspoontul of sugar, two teaspodnfuls of baking Powder, a half tablespoonful of short- ening and milk to stir to a dough that is too soft to roll. Put this over the apples, which should be tender, but not broken, cover the kettle closely Bnd cook 25 minutes without lifting the cover. Serve with a hot sauce, made by heating to a cream a half cupful of butter and one cupful of Sugar, stirring in just before using a scant cupful of boiling milk or water and seasoning to taste. a‘ BANANA PUDDINGWITH SAUCE.

This relieves the barren aspect of a room which 1s very high. A low room will appear neatest if these decorations follow cer- tain lines around the wall and are not placed bapbazard at any con- venient place.

If the china is to be hung round the wall, ft Ja going to detract a great deal from the cozy apartment.

Tarrest ctr~ UM & Co,2er2mee New York ROCK OYSTER REEF SUCCULENT BIVALVES FOUND ONLY ON OREGON COAST. Indians Gather Once a Year for Annual Feast of the Delicacy—Legend of the Discovery of the Food. Newport, Ore.—Rock oyster digging is having the attention of a large number of Newport (Ore.) citizens, and the native Indian dwellers, and consequently rock oyster soup and rock oyster fritters will take the first place at the table as a delicacy which will ever be in the memory of those fortunate enough to have had their palates tickled with the fat and juicy bivalves that inhabit this particular spot on the coast of Oregon. The home of the rock oyster is in the soap stone rock, called reefs, being imbedded from four to seven inches with a hole to the surface. As the oyster grows in size the cavity is gradually made larger by the twisting of its shell in a semi-circular shape, the rock extending to the surface of the reef thus obtaining its necessary nourishment. The rock oyster reefs are only accessible on the ebb tide for a short interval, otherwise they would soon become extinct. During the winter months the reefs are exposed for about two hours in the 24 for a period of five to seven days. About the full o' the moon the opportunity for digging is best as the remainder of the month the reefs are covered by water. During the months of July and August the poets are exposed about six hours in 24. It is during this season of the year the rock oysters are sought to a large extent, selling readily at 25 cents a gallon in the shell to local consumers and 50 cents a gallon in Portland. The coast Indians never fall to be on hand at this time to have their an- Digging Rock Oysters on Oregon Coast. nual feast of rock oysters, which are, in their estimation, far superior to the turkey cherished so highly by their paleface brethren. During the long summer days the Indian women are to be seen dally trudging to and from the beach with baskets of their own manufacture strapped on their backs filled with the bivalves. They sell a part but never fall to retain the amount necessary for their daily consumption, and later in the season, when the supply becomes less than the demand, it is impossible to buy them at any price showing the appreciation of the rock oyster as a food delicacy by the Indian. The legend of the discovery of the rock oyster by the tribe of Yaquina Indians located on Yaquina bay, say that a bad Indian was cast out by the tribe He roamed the hills of the coast range for days in the hopes of securing some large game that he might come back to the tribe and beg forgiveness. Day after day no game could he find, making his way back to the coast, exhausted from hunger, he lay down to sleep where the tide was low. Awaking from the rise of water, he by chance discovered the neck of a rock oyster sticking above the reef, which he used to satisfy his hunger. He returned to his tribe with a few of the bivalves, and obtaining forgiveness, he became a good Indian. Proves Earth Is Round. When the earth comes between the sun and the moon it always casts a round shadow. A place chosen for an experiment to prove the roundness of the earth "was near Bedford, England, where there is a straight six-mile stretch of water. At both ends and in the middle of this stretch of water posts were erected, each of the same definite height above the water level. Upon looking with a telescope along the tops of these three posts it was clearly seen that the center one overtopped the others by about six feet, thus marking the curvature of the earth's surface." This experiment has been repeated, and with every latest appliance brought to bear to effect absolute accuracy. The statement as to how a ship at sea shows the tops of her masts first, and then gradually parts below that, but above the water, is a familiar one, and satisfies most minds. There is a considerable shortage in the spruce gum crop in Malne this year, and first-class gum is now worth $1.75 a pound, laid down in Bangor by the pickers. The retailer gets 15 cents an ounce, and the price is rising. Woodsmen say the decrease in the supply is due to extensive lumbering operations for the pulp mills. Skillful Needle-Workers The women of Russia and the men of Japan are the most expert needle-workers in the world. ONLY DAUGHTER OF TAFT. Miss Helen Now a Sophomore in Bryn Mawr College. Washington.—Miss Helen Taft, only daughter of the secretary of war and Mrs. Taft, now is a sophomore in Bryn Mawr college. Before entering the Philadelphia institution of learning she attended, with Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the school which is connected with the Episcopal cathedral situated way out on the Tenleytown road. The daughters of the president and secretary have been close friends and playmates since early childhood. Two years ago they were confirmed in the J. J. M. N. 5012 Miss Helen Taft. same class at the historic St. John's church on Lafayette square, by the late Bishop Satterlee. Since Miss Taft's departure for Bryn Mawr Miss Ethel has left the cathedral school and is receiving instruction from an English governess. If William Howard Taft should become president of the United States his daughter would make her bow to society during her father's second year in the White House, for it is the present intention of the young woman to continue her studies at college till her four years are completed, which means that she still, has two full years after the present term expires. White House debutantes are welcomed by Washington society, for many brilliant functions are given often for the younger set. Miss Taft is said by those who know her to be unaffected and as democratic and genial as her father. She has never accompanied her father and mother on their long trips to distant lands, but has event her time preparing for college, which she entered at an age rather below that of most girls. It may be that, Miss Taft, like the former Miss Root, now Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant III., being studious and domestically inclined, will shun as much as she possibly can the gayer life of the capital city after the novelty of being a White House debutante has worn off. This, of course, in the event of her father's nomination and election next fall. NEW SENATOR IS APPOINTED. Florida Governor Names Half Milton Successor to Bryan. Tallahassee Fla.-Gov Broward has appointed Hall Milton of Marianna to SENATOR W.A. H. MILTON succeed the late Senator Bryan of Florida in the United States senate. Mr. Milton is a grandson of former Gov. John Milton of Florida and is 42 years old. He is a successful banker and business man. The appointment is for the unexpired term of the late Senator Mallory, which had been filled by the appointment of Senator Bryan three months ago. When His Troubles Begin. She purser on a transatlantic liner is an exceedingly busy man when his steamer comes abeam of quarantine. His troubles begin some five hours before the steamer arrives off Sandy Hook and continue until every passenger has left the pler. The purser is besieged by passengers who wish to exchange foreign money for American; he has to tell them when the steamer is expected to dock, when to set their watches ahead and reply to hundreds of other trivial questions. The pursers on the French line are nothing if not courteous, but sometimes their patience is sorely tried, and to avoid any apparent discourtesy in the tribulations of arriving at port they prepare a statement for the press containing memoranda of the "notable passengers, special incidents, ships spoken, amount of specie and weather conditions." The statement is manifold and handed to the reporters with a pleasant smile and the news gatherers do the rest. GREELY IS RETIRED FAMOUS ARMY OFFICER REACHES AGE LIMIT. General Noted as Arctic Explorer and Distinguished for Military Feats —Reorganized the Weather Washinleyton.—Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, the famous Arctic explorer, for news of whose whereabouts the congress of the United States once offered a reward of $25,000, was placed on the retired list of the army the other day for age. Gen. Greely is now in the Orient on leave of absence. His last command was that of the department of Dakota with headquarters at St. Paul, where he was recently succeeded by Brig. Gen. Winfield S. Edgerly. Few if any officers of the United States army have enjoyed such a wide measure of fame during recent years as has Gen. Greely. It is now something more than a quarter of a century ago that he attracted world wide attention by a polar expedition, of which he was the chief. This expedition sailed northward in 1851 it contained 25 members, of whom only seven came back. Two relief expeditions failed to find the Greely party, and when finally rescued by the third expedition, sent under command of Capt. Winfield S. Schley, the survivors of the party were nearly crazed with hunger. At the time he made this expedition to the polar seas, Gen. Greely, was a lieutenant in the Fifth cavalry. The expedition reached a point farther, north than any previous record. Gen. Greely had the distinction of being the first man who entered the GEN. A.W GREELY civil war as a private soldier to be promoted to the rank of brigadier general. He was born in Newbury-port, Mass., March 27, 1844, and received a common school education. In 1861, when but a few months over 17 years of age, he enlisted as a private and became a member of the Byfield Rifles. Greely continued with his command until March, 1863. When a call was made for non-commissioned officers to officer—the colored troops then being organized, Sergt. Greely was one of the number to respond and was commissioned as first lieutenant in the Lichty-first United States colored infantry. He served with this command until the fall of 1895, rising to the grade of major. He entered the regular army as a second lieutenant in March, 1867, and was promoted to first lieutenant in 1873. Between 1876 and 1879 young Greely proved himself to be one of the most untiring workers in the army. During that period he constructed 2,000 miles of military telegraph in Texas, Montana and Dakota. This unprecedented feat made him a marked man in American military circles. Then came the expedition to the far north. In 1881, in pursuance of the recommendation of the Hamburg international geographical congress, he was given command of the United States expedition to establish one of a chain of 13 circumpolar stations. The trying experiences of Greely and his little band are well known to all readers of history. During and after the Spanish war Gen. Greely had a further opportunity to show his great ability as a builder of telegraph lines. Under his immediate direction there were built and operated 1,000 miles in Porto Rico, 3,800 miles in Cuba, 250 miles in China during the Boxer outbreak and 10,500 miles of lines and cables in the Philippines. He 'afterwards installed a system of 3,000 miles of telegraph lines in Alaska, one of these lines being the first wireless system to be put to commercial use. One of Gen. Greely's most brilliant achievements was the reorganization on its present efficient basis of the national weather bureau. Previous to his incumbency the service was of a most crude and untrustworthy character. He began at once to gather meteorological data from every reliable source, and in the course of time he was able to arrive at something definite. He established a complete system of weather stations in various parts of the country and lifted the service from the plane of ridicule to that of respectability. Her Market Order. Little Mrs. Hunter had heard so many jokes about the brides who couldn't market successfully that she made up her mind that the last request she made of the market man would show her to be a sophisticated housewife.

London.—The accompanying diagram explains the bill now on second reading in the British house of commons which, is intended to induce the general community to make more use of daylight during the summer months by beginning and finishing the working day earlier. In the diagram the months of the year are shown by horizontal lines, and the hours of the day by vertical lines. The white portion indicates ```markdown ``` Diagram Illustrating Scheme of Englishman. the daylight of one year, or that portion of time when artificial light is not required in the latitude of London. The left hand shaded portion represents the first half of morning twilight, and the right hand portion represents the second half of the evening twilight, or that portion of the twilight when artificial light is required indoors. The curves B B B may, therefore, be considered as enclosing the daylight of the year, the remaining portion indicating the night. The curved line marked X X X indicates the curve of sunrise, and that marked O O O the curve of sunset. The broad broken lines include that part of day when the average man is awake; outside these lines is the portion of time in which he sleeps. The broad line marked A A A shows the same period corrected to suit the new proposal. It indicates how man would benefit by the system of altering the clocks at stated intervals—namely: Setting the clock ahead 20 minutes on each Sunday morning at two o'clock during the month of April, and vice versa during the month of September. The steps marked C C Indicate the hour and month when the clock would be altered—that is, in four steps of 20 minutes cach in the spring, and back again in four steps in the autumn. The lined patch shows clearly the gain during the summer months. The line to the right shows the average hour for leaving work and the extra daylight available for recreation. WATSON IS PUT UP AGAIN. Georgian Nominated for President by Populist Party. St. Louis.-Thomas E. Watson of Georgia was nominated for president A. B. Thomas E. Watson. of the United States and Samuel Williams of Indiana for vice-president by the People's party convention, after two stormy sessions. Watson was the Populist candidate for the same office four years ago and candidate for vice-president in 1896, when the Populists supported Bryan for president. He was a Democrat early in his political career, but in 1891 was elected to congress as a Populist and served one term. Mr. Watson is a lawyer, a native and resident of Georgia, and 51 years old. He has written several historical works that have been highly praised, and is considered a man of brilliant powers. "So Crinnon Gale' keeps a poker game running 'light and day now!" sald the tourist.

Misdirected Business Energy Proves Disastrous to the Extent of $6,000,000—Inherited Famous. Elswick Gun Works. London.—Lord Armstrong, head of the greatest private arsenal and engineering works in Great Britain, has demonstrated conclusively that misdirected business energy may be as disastrous to the heir of a great fortune as the extravagances more commonly imputed to the younger members of the aristocracy. Eight years ago Lord Armstrong, equipped with a technical rather than a business education, inherited through a granduncle who had been raised to the peerage $6,000,000, a controlling interest in the famous Elswick Gun works, two country estates—among the most spacious in England—and a magnificent town house in London. His vast fortune has now been dissipated, and last week he entered into a deed of arrangement for the liquidation of $2,500,000 debts in long-term installments. It was all due to a lack of familiarity with modern business methods. He had one of the most stable and well-introduced manufacturing businesses in England behind him and the prestige of a family name which has been associated with solid, conservative business methods. He was told he was falling to keep abreast of the modern industrial expansion, and he admitted among his counselors men who were more familiar with stock [Illustration of a man with a mustache and a halo around his head.] JORD ARMSTRONG jobbing methods than they were with the manufacture of munitions of war. Then he resorted to money lenders in league with the other interests, and to these "sharks" he found himself obliged to pay 60 per cent. interest. It was due to this that he put aside his pride and made a public agreement providing for long-time payments of the gross amount of his debts. Lord Armstrong, by birth and christening W. H. A. F. Watson, was born in 1863, the son of John William Watson of Adderstone hall, and the grandnephew of the late Baron Armstrong of Craigsle, through whom he inherited his fortune. He was educated at Eton and Trinity college, Cambridge, later pursuing studies of a mechanical and engineering character. The great engineering establishment of Elswick is one of the most celebrated in the world. From a nucleus of $5\frac{1}{2}$ acres the plant has grown to 230 acres, and when fully employed has 28,000 workers. The weekly pay roll involves the distribution of about $200,000. In its shops were turned out some of the most formidable of the modern machine guns, the deadly precision of which the Japanese demonstrated in the late war with Russia. While the Armstrong works are chiefly noted for their high power guns they also embrace a shipbuilding department whence the Abdul Hamid, a 4,000-ton cruiser, was recently launched for the Turkish navy. The founder of the house of Armstrong was William G. Armstrong, who constructed a small shop to the west of Newcastle for the manufacture of the various hydraulic machines which he, while still a solicitor, had begun to invent. This was about 60 years ago. Gunmaking was begun at Elswick in 1855, and it was largely the application of hydraulic mechanism, of which the late Lord Armstrong had been a close student, that made the working of the high-power artillery possible. Five years later captain, now Sir Henry Noble joined the staff and as managing director he did much toward the development of modern ordinance. Some of the largest guns used by the Japanese during the late war fired a projectile weighing 570 pounds with a velocity of 2,80 feet per second. The energy of these huge shots is nearly 40,000 foot-tons, measured at the muzzle, and they are 247 at eight and 28 miles per hour. The evolution of hydraulic machinery, I largely brought about at the Elwick works, makes it possible to handle these ponderous engines with great rapidity. The present Lord Hastings's most famous country park, Pamburgh castle, once the home of the kings of Northumbria, is a historic place. It has been carefully restored and is now a comfortable house. Lord Armstrong and his wife are both devoted to out-of-door sports and pet motorists and fond of get, including a driving. First Permanent Church in Chicago 75 Years Old This Year. Chicago.—Founding of the first permanent Roman Catholic parish in Chicago 75 years ago will be celebrated by Roman Catholics in June with a diamond jubilee demonstration in which both laymen and clergy will take part. Although Jesuit fathers conducted missions in Chicago long before that time the first permanent church was founded in May, 1833, by Rev. John M. I. St. Cyr, who came here from St. Louls. He established St. Mary's PARKSIDE CHURCH First Roman Catholic Church Built In Chicago. church, the first site of which was at Lake and State streets. The church is now at Wabash avenue and Eldredge place. At the time of the building of St. Mary's there were only 38 Catholic families in Chicago, representing 122 persons. To-day the Catholic population of the city is approximately 750,000. The number of priests is 600 and the number of edifices consecrated to divine worship is 175. For years this church remained in charge of secular priests. When Archbishop Quigley assumed charge of the Chicago archdiocese the Paulist Fathers were placed in control. According to the plans outlined by Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan, pastor of the church, and local head of the Paulist Fathers, the celebration of the diamond jubilee will include a gathering at the Auditorium and special services in the church. A special committee on arrangements has been named consisting of prominent laymen. Benediction of Pope Plus X. is expected for the jubilee celebrants. LAETARE MEDAL IS AWARDED. Dr. J. C. Monaghan Recipient of Notre Dame University. Honor. Notre Dame, Ind.-The Laetare medal has been voted to Dr. James Charles Monaghan by the faculty of Notre Dame university. The medal has been conferred annually by the university since 1883 as a mark of esteem and appreciation of some noteworthy work performed in behalf of morality, education and citizenship. Dr. Monaghan was United States consul at Mannheim and Chemnitz. T. H. C. JAMES C. MONAGHAN Germany, during the years 1885 to 1897. He was a delegate to the World's Commercial congress in 1899. In 1903 he assumed the editorship of the bureau of foreign commerce in the department of commerce and labor. Dr. Monaghan is prominently known as an educator, having been a very active member of the faculties of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Notre Dame. In the latter institution he was dean of the history and economics course in 1907. He is a graduate of Brown university, and also studied in Heldelberg. A reunion of all the Laetare medalists is being planned for May 17 at Notre Dame. It is likely that the 1908 honor will be bestowed upon Dr. Monaghan at that time. Among those who previously have received the medal are Attorney General Bonaparte, William Bourke Cochran and Elliza Allen Starr. The White Evening Waistcoat. Anything that breaks through the gloomy, funereal, waiterale aspect of male evening dress is to be commended. But practically, as a general rule, the white evening waistcoat cannot be effectively worn much after the age of 21.

The white men in the South will not allow a few men .to use the solid black vote to further their own finan. cial and political interests. And that is what was being done. I want to sayqright now that the white men in the South are giving the Negroes better laws than the Ne- groes would give to the white mar if they were making the laws. Why right in Washington they disfran- chised every Negro, even if they had to disfranchise some white men to do it. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised , every- where it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of catpet- bag rule. - Colored Americans who are sc anxious to support Mr, Bryan‘in the event of Mr. Taft's nomination ought to be convinced now ‘that he does not care a cent for them. If these men will take ‘the pains tp read an excerpt from Mr. Bryan’s New York speech, namely, Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev. S. L, Corrothers and others, they will lean some sense. Mr. Bryan favors the disfran- chisement of colored Americans. This is one of Mr. Bryan's blun- ders. He could not hold back the feeling of revenge against the col- ored Americans. Bryan has declar- ed against colored Americans. He believes in the disfranchisement of the race. The colored voter can- not go to the Democratic party, no matter what happens. No Repub- lican favors the disfranchisemént of colored Americans, no matter if he is the devil. He may be mean otherwise; he may do things that would tend to degrade the race, but no Republican has been mean enough to vote away the rights of volored Americans. The rank and file of the Democratic party will show the colored man no quarter. The coiored voter must support the nominee of the Republican par- JIM CROW AMUSEMENTS. On the front page of The Bee will be seen thé true conditions of the “Jim Crow” five-cerft amuse- ment theatres in this city. There is not an amusement house of this character in the city that does not object to the colored ‘American en- tering. The larger theatres in the city also discriminate against col- ored Americans. They are’ not permitted to occupy “Seats in the balcony. Ii.colored citizens insist on pat- ronizing these theatres they are told that they must go in the pit. Just why colored citizens will con- tinue to go to these theatres The Bee is unable to explain. : "The declaration of Rev. 5. L- Corrothers that he will support Bryan in preference to Secretary ‘Taft will not help him in his fight for the Zion bishopric next month at l’hiladelphia. In the sudden retirement_ of the Burt-Patterson ticket the people of the District were again treated to a demonstration of the fact that the expected sometimes happens. Who is surprised? NATIONAL COMMITTEE- +... MAN BIEBER. Mr. Sidney Bieber having been vindicated by the House Commit- tee on Investigation, will be fur- ther vindicated when his name is ‘presented to the National Republi- can Convention as the next Na- 1 7 oe tional Committeeman for the Dis- trict of Columbia. He has won in politics and succeeded in de- feating those who endeavored to prove traitors to him at the last ‘moment. . | ‘The Bee was the first to present ate. Bieber’s name to the Republi- can voters of this city, and the last [to receive any consideration, The Bee is: always loyal to its friends ,and true to the cause it advocates. The attack made upon him by the fe from Montana and the al: leged charges he made against him were uncalled for and unjjust.That the House Investigating Commit- tee vindicated him, the distinguish ed Senator should be fair enough to rise in the Senate and apologize. The election is over, and he has again been vindicated; hence let all Republicans come together and build up a strong Republican party in the District of Columbia. PARAGRAPHIC WEWS. severe Baeeee: eae) oay. city registered eighty-five degrees in the shade. Last Thursday week the Duke de Chaulnes died suddenly from heart failure in his bedroom im the Hotel Langham, Paris. The widow’ of the dead duke is a daughter of Theodore P. Shonts, of New York, Prof. John Morrow, superintendent of the Alleghany schools, said last Saturday to the young women teach. ers who assembled for the monthly institute: “Ii ladies will kindly re- move their abominable hats so they can sit closely together in front of the auditorium, we will proceed swith the institute.” Chief Belt, in his recent report on the inspections of the public school: recommends that the old High Street School, in Georgetown, and the Mi- ner School, Seventeenth and Chueh streets, be discontinited at once for school purposes, Rev. William G. Eggleston, the oldest member of the Baltimore Con- ference of thé Methodist Episcopal Church South, died last Saturday night at his home at Middleton, Va. at the age of ninety-four years. Be- fore the Methodist Episcopal Con: ference was divided he was a pron: inent figure. DON'T WORRY. From Iadianapolis Freeman. The country refuses to be set a- quiver over the report that that emi- nent Zion theologian, the Rev. Syl- vester L.Corrothers,swears by all the gods that he intends to support Bry- an for president, if the Chicago Con- vention declifies to do his bidding. It is a matter of some speculation whether Bryan wants Mr. Corroth- ers’ support. The refusal of Bryan to admit colored people to his re- ligious lecture at Charleston, W. Va. is still fresh in our niemory. BEEN DOCTORED? HEFOM WaYCrOss IWCWS. The Washington (D.C.) Bee has evidently been “doctored” with Taft dope. It has been loud in its pro- fessions of loyalty and admiration for Senator Foraker, but weakens znd apologetically surrenders before the real battle. There are a lot of Negro papers cand leaders who seemingly do a lot of clamoring just to attract at- tention to themselves. Every sincere friend and loyal Negro voter will stand byt his great friend of the race until the decisive vote is cast at the National Convention, z From the Cumberland Alleganian, The Republican party must either repudiate or endorse the city admin- istration of the past four years. The Democratic minority of the Council has had no influence in shaping its policies, and-that party is in no re- spect responsible for existing condi- tions. The Democracy of Cumber- land stands pledged to sweeping re- forms, and, it ‘is fully determined to place men in nomination whose names are a guarantee that every promise will be carried out to the letter. ¥ 1 1 WHERE THE FREEMAN ~ STANDS. From Indianapolis Freeman. The Freeman is recognized as a national organ of the race and for the race, and as such its views and opinions, as editorially expressed, are not controlled nor prompted by local or State conditions’ The Freeman can always be depended upon to give expression to such views as* it be- lieves to be for the best interest of the race, without regard to city, or county, or State boundaries. In dis- cussing the progress and the news relating to the Republican presiden- tal contest The Freeman will give the news, unmindful of its advanta- geous or disadvantageous effect on any of the aspirants for that honor. We yield to no one in our admira- tion for our fellowtownsman and State leader, the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, but we do not feel called upon to color our news in his in- terest, and neither do we feel called upon to color our news so as to ap- pear against any of the other candi- dates. This because The Freeman is a national Negro newspaper. Up to this time three-fourths of the delegates selected to the Repub- lican Convention are instructed for Secretary Taft. This is acknowl- edged by each and every one of his opponents. This is not political “dope,” but fact. The consensus of opinion, as expressed by partisan and independent newspapers and by mem- hers of Congress and public men, 3s well as by private citizens, is that it appears at this time that the big Secretary of War will be nominated. The Freeman violates no sense of feeling to Mr. Fairbanks to print such news. We would be false to him and to the race if we denied the news. The Freeman stands, as it always has stood, for the Republican nominee, whoever he may be, and we will just as cordially support Sccretary Taft, if nominated, as we would Vice President Fairbanks, and just because we recognize both as Joyal Republicans and mén in whose hands the, interests of: our race will be safe. Up to this writing the Taft people are claiming his nomination with confidence. And the results of the various conventions held to nominate delegates up to this date substantiate their claim. The Free- man will print the news, all — the news, and nothing but the news.And The Freeman will express its delib- erately formed opinion fearlessly. “Nuf sed.” “TIM CROW” THEATRES. A representative of The Bee ca"ed at 307 Ninth street northwest and at 1oz0 Seventh street jorthwest, and asked for the manager, Mr. A. C Myers. The Bee found him to Ix an affable and polite gentleman When asked concerning the discrim- ination alleged to exist in his thea- ters, he explained that he has never objected at any time to respectable colored Americans being admitted to his theaters, but he does object to all disreputable persons, be they white or colored, When he first opened he allowed colored citizens seats to any part of his house; latterly several colored persons Would be allowed admission and they would become disorderly; many came in uider the influerice of liquor, which caused him to drow the line and admit such respectable colored citizens whom he knew or presented such an appearance that would admit them. There are -several colored Ameri- cans who visit the Ninth Strect the- atre regularly and sit in any part of the house, but he will not admit any- one that acts disorderly or who may be under the influence of intoxicants. He also informed The Bee that his theater at 1020 Seventh street,known as Happyland, opened especially for all classes, irrespective of ‘color, and especially for colored Americans ;but it is more patronized by white peo- ple. 2 . The Bee also ascertained that all other theaters in the city, especially those on the Avenue, will not admit any colored person. Colored citizens are told, the moment they present themselves at the box office and ask for a ticket, “colored people are not admitted.”. 1 + The Bee corrects the statement it heretofore made against Mr. Meyers theater, and assures the colored citi- zens that he has no prejudite against them, The cartoon on the first page applies to all five-cent theaters ex- cept 1020 Seventh street northwest and 307 Ninth street northwest and all other big theaters im the city where ‘colored citizens are “Jim Crowed.” Mr. Sidney Bieber cor- rected all irregularities when his at- tention was called to this discrim- ination. * THE COLORED VOTERS. From the Oregon Journal. It may be a good thing not only for themselves, but for the country, for the colored voters to break away from party for once. Their numer- ous votes have always been counted on a8 a sure asset, in the Northern States, for the Republican party. They were expected to vote solidly for the whole Republican ticket, and with few exceptions have done so. |That the Republican party took cred- ie for freeing them forty-five y ago was considered a sufficient read son; after election the colored bro- ther, except in rare instances, was ‘no longer recognized, although in some States and on some occasions the colored men have undéubtedly held the balance of power, as they may hold it in several States next November. é And we see no good reason why, the Negro race should not have beer’ more: recognized, and better reward- ed, especially in States where they may sometimes turn the scale. Many oi them are intelligent, industrious, worthy citizens, entirely competent nd trustworthy to fill certain offices. They have not had their fair share of the spoils. They may remember all this next fall. It would be w; for the colored people hereafter 8 divide their vote, and be more Pe dependent. THE “GUMPTION” CLASS AT.

OUR "KENTUCKY COLONY." Give "Star" Present at the Black- Steward Wedding in Falls City Louisville, Ky., April 21. — The largest and most elaborate wedding that has even taken place in the Falls City was that of Miss Jeannette L. Steward and Mr. James H. Black, which took place on the 15th at the spacious home of the bride's parents, Prof. and Mrs. W. H. Steward, 825 Eighth street. Miss Carolyn Steward, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Mr. J. S. Hopson was "best man." The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. H. Frank, pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Ch. The parlors were crowded with friends, many of whom came from distant points to witness the marriage festival. The upper chambers were filled with hundreds of beautiful, useful and costly presents, the most notable of which was a massive silver set of twenty-four pieces, handsomely initialed, and tastefully arranged in a large silk-lined casket. This beautiful present, valued at fifty dollars, came from the "Kentucky Colony" at Washington, and the donors were Mr. and Mrs.H. P.Slaughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Houston, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Recorder and Mrs. T. J. Brown, Miss Etta M. Maxwell, Mrs. Annie J. Weeden, Mrs. Mary Starks, Mrs. W. J. Simmons, Miss Effie Simmons, Messrs. Horace Morris, A. J. Bowling and J. E. Buckner. Miss Steward was a teacher in the public schools of this city, and is an artist and musician of ability. Mr. Black is a highly efficient clerk in the city postoffice. Prof. Steward for twenty-six years editor of the American Baptist, is a veteran in the journalistic world, and Mrs. Steward, as an instructor in music at the State University and a leader in woman's organization work throughout Kentucky, is not less prominent. Mr. Black was at one time connected with the Government Printing Office in Washington. "Look for the Gilded Dome." CONGRESSMAN CAMPBELL TO SPEAK Congressman Philip P.

Mr. Henry Lassiter, chairman of the committee on arrangements, will preside, and Mr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, Register of the Treasury, will introduce the speaker of the evening. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the talented elocutionist, will recite some appropriate selections, and a musical program will be furnished by the Metropolitan A. M. E.

Chase, Thomas H. Wright, Charles W. Hale, William H. Wilkes, George W. Brown, Joseph H. Stewart,Thomas W. West, George Robinson, Daniel Williams, and Rev. J. H. Welch, pastor of Metropolitan Church. Mr. Campbell is gratefully remembered by the colored people of this community as one of the most aggressive opponents of the Heffin amendment providing for a separa- tion of the races on the street cars of the District, and the lively interest they are taking in his forthcoming appearance on the 1st of May indicates that the eloquent representative from Kansas will be greeted by a tremendous crowd. A number of prominent members of Congress have signified their intention to be present on this occasion, and will be heard from briefly. GOOD INVENTION. A United States patent was granted to Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, of the Sixth Advisor's Office, on April 14th, for his invention of a new device for rewinding paper on an adding machine. The patent is numbered 884.721, and invests in Mr. Davidson the sole and exclusive right to make, use and sell the device for seventeen years. Mr. Davidson is a clerk in the Sixth Auditor's Office, and is given charge of the adding machines, which he operates with much skill and rapidity. His accurate knowledge of the machinery he uses led him to detect imperfections in it, and to make the improvements represented in the patent above mentioned. This is the second instance in which Afro-Americans clerks in the departmental service here in the city of Wahsington have set to work successfully to improve upon the machinery and tools with which they worked. The other case was that of Mr. Robert Pelham, of the United States Census Office, whose invention of a far better pasting machine that the one handed him by his office led to the adoption of his machine by the Government, for which he was paid a regular royalty. GOOD WORK. The annual gardening of the District of Columbia schools was begun April 1. One of its new features in the colored schools is the centralization of the work by the assistant superintendent, Mr. R. C. Bruce, with Miss S. W. Brown as director and Miss Ester Middleton assistant. The garden centers are Jones, Birney, Cardoza, Randall, Montgomery and the Atipical Schools, where successful gardening has been conducted for the past four years, particularly Jones and Birney Schools, which have made a decided success of both spring and summer gardening. It was my pleasure to observe the pupils of the former school at work in the garden with their teachers. Never before have I seen more innate interest and enthusiasm in the work. At Cardoza one hundred and fifty children work seventy-five plots of ground. Plans are made for future meetings at these centers for the interchange of ideas and to receive instruction from Miss Brown for future work; she formerly gave them in the form of experiments at the Agricultural Grounds. Efforts for permanent decorations are being made, and any contributions to the schools may be sent to the centers or Miss S. W. Brown at Normal School No. 2. FLAWLESS PRODUCTION OF ( "HIAWATHA." S. Coleridge Taylor's superb composition, "Hiawatha," was rendered last Thursday evening in flawless style at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church by the S. Coleridge Taylor Choral Society. The chorus comprised one hundred and fifty voices, and was directed by Prof. John T. Layton. All the parts were well sustained, the solo work being entrusted to the hands of Mme.Kittie Skeene Mitchell, of Cleveland, Ohio, soprano; T. Wilcott Swann, of Boston, tenor, and W. H. Richardson, also of Boston, baritone. The audience completely filled the house, and encores were frequent. The business management reflected great credit upon the industry and sagacity of Mr. Arthur S. Gray, secretary, and Mr. A. F. Hilyer, treasurer, of the Society, supported by the vast chorus and the music-loving people of the city. Many white citizens witnessed the performance, with evident enjoyment. TO SUBSCRIBERS.

This is gratifying and proper; these people are no fakes, but strong, intelligent, Christian people from one of the Negro families in the South, and their plays and renditions have never been surpassed in Chicago. They give more than the worth of the auditor's money in any performance. The Conservator is proud that the good, appreciative people of Chicago are so liberally encouraging this excellent family of talent and push. The Whitman Sisters move on merit and not in cheap gush. While we know these sweet sisters are not struck on The Conservator because we misplaced the picture of one of them, as they thought, in our columns, we know the family and want to see them succeed even if they do not understand us. They are good and intelligent people. Encourage them. The Whitman Sisters will appear at Second Baptist Church, this city, Monday evening, May 4, 1908. You will miss a treat if you do not avail yourself of this op portunity. Come early and secure good seats.

It tapers off the bust, flattens the abdomen, and absolutely reduces the hips from 1 to 5 inches. Not a harness—not a cumbersome affair, no totturing straps, but the most scientific example of corsetry, boned in such a manner as to give the weaker absolute freedom of movement. Kleinertt THE GEM DOUBLE COVERED Kleinertt FEATHER WEIGHT WASHABLE Klinest 2 S JUNO HOW BEST RESULTS MAY BE CORRECT. Too Many or Too Heavy Hangings Apt to Spoil the Good Effects Good Arrangement for the Dark Room. Too much drapery is not to make the rooms close and sturdy, and particularly when there is not a large space and the room is not very well lit, and so that the account is to place a curtain effect by lighting or the light. For a matte-faced room with a folding door which leads to another apartment and is of use permanently closed, a good artifact can be made without using too heavy drapery. Instead of a pair of covers on a pod and taking it folds, take the material and stitch it across the doors, fastening it even with the door, without the rod, not make a panel effect. When the Material Is Plain. I have made all bo plain and not brocade or tapestry it can be draped slightly on laid in folds like box pluits and taped in the center of the plait with a stud or brass tack. This will give the material a sufficient amount of fullness and do away with the stiffness of stretching plain material tightly over doors. If one happens to possess a mir or in a gold frame or an old colonial heirloom in wood, the effect is particularly good if the mirror is hung against this background and a divan placed beneath it with the cushions of the soft shade which corresponds with the colorings of your room, and the divan cover either matching the drapery of the door or of a shade which is in harmony with it. Arrangement for Dark Room. An effect of this kind seen recently in a rather dark room was excellent, but the background in this case was rather more elaborate and consisted, besides the flat piece of velvet over the door, of a top piece. This piece, which was separate, was made of a thin board of about six inches in depth, which was flattened at the top of the door and also covered with velvet, with the edge trimmed with a dull gold braid like a lambrequin, while the folds of the curtain with the brass studs in the center of the folds fell from just below this piece. The edge of the divan cover was of the same material and was trimmed with the same gold braid, and the mirror was a gilt one of a rococo design. As the room was rather dark, the cushions selected were of the lighter shades of brocade in soft greens, yellows and old rose, and the result with the mirror reflecting the other side of the room and the dark receding back- küs - se und küs - se und küs - se dich todt.

Where one is the happy possessor of some fine tapestry or a bit of Oriental embroidery they can be used instead of the arrangement we have mentioned, and, of course, are much more beautiful. But even with tapestry if it is not of the finest weave and design, a good effect may be obtained in this same way by putting the tapestry flat against the wall or hanging a mirror on it. A divan under the mirror or a deep sofa heaped with cushions is always attractive, and very good effects may be obtained in the matter of sofa pillows and couch coverings with the expenditure of comparatively little money in the way of materials, upon the covering of either sofa pillows or couch draperies. If the proper combinations of color are selected and nothing glaring or obtrusive is used Rice Border with Creamed Fish. Put one cupful of rice on to boll in four cupfuls of boiling water, when it has been boiling half an hour add two tablespoonfuls of butter and a teaspoonful of salt. Let it stimmer an hour. Wash it fine with a spoon and add two well-beaten eggs and stlr for five minutes. Butter a border mold and fill with rice. Put in the oven for a few moments. Turn out on a hot dish and fill the center with creamed fish. Chicken Dumplings Stew chicken until tender, make gravy, before taking up, then pour all in baking pan. Make dumplings with two cupfuls flour, heaping teaspoonful baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of butter, rub in thoroughly and make soft with sweet milk. Roll thin, cut in squares, put over chicken and bake in hot oven. They can be eaten cold and are always light and puffy. s Work Aprons. When I make my work aprons I have the top of the middle breadth made double for about ten inches from waist, stitching it in with the seams and belt, with the edge loose. This gives me a patch that does not show until it is needed, yet always ready when the top is worn through.—Chicago Tribune. Cleaning Windows. A good chamois can be bought for 25 cents, and if well taken care of will last for several years. First wash windows with a damp sponge, then take the chamois skin, wring as dry as possible, wipe off window and finish with an old cloth. This is the best as well as the easiest method. Savory Hash. Boil potatoes with the skins on the day before using. When the meat is boiled save some of the stock and put in when meat and potatoes are mixed.

Beef Bone and Vegetables Make an Ideal Combination. After thoroughly washing in tepid water a 15-cent beef shank soup bone, place it in an eight-quart kettle and cover with cold water, and when slowly boiling remove all scum. Add a cup of cold water, which will cause more scum to arise, and when clear cover closely and allow to boil slowly two hours, adding water occasionally. Then add salt to taste, a large onion cut in two, two large carrots cut lengthwise in about six pieces each, and a large cupful of best tomatoes—use the tomatoes as they come from the can, the thick part as well as the juice—and boil the whole until the carrots are well done, when add a half teaspoonful of celery salt, and boil a few minutes longer, then strain and serve hot. A strip or two of the carrot can be served in each bowl if desired, they being palatable so cooked and great complexion beautifiers. This soup will be found most excellent for a weak stomach, or found most excellent for anyone recovering from sick headache. BUCKWHEAT CAKES FOR TWO. By Leaving a Starter, They Can Be Kept Going for Several Weeks. One quart lukewarm water, one tablespoonful cornmeal, one teaspoonful sugar, one-half cake of compressed yeast, one cupful buckwheat flour, one cupful white flour; let rise over night; in morning add one teaspoonful salt. Leave two-thirds cupful of batter for starter, and put in cool place until following night, when you repeat as before, with the exception of the yeast (which you do not need again), and the sugar. The second morning turn out the batter you want to use in another dish and add the salt and sugar and a pinch of soda. If any of this batter is left do not put back with the starter, as it is not good to keep after the soda is in it. By leaving a starter each time and doing as directed, these cakes can be kept going for several weeks, but be sure and not put in salt until just before baking, and they will always be light. This recipe is sufficient for two people. Chocolate Pie.

We still have a large collection of superb Diamonds which we bought a considerable time ago at lower prices than prevail today. We shall not advance prices on these stones. We are merchants and not speculators, and our fair percentage of n is all we ask. So, as long as these Diamonds last, it will be possible to buy them here under the regular market for tablespoonfuls or four moistened to a paste with a little cold milk. Cook, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened, then cook just ten minutes longer. Mix the yolks of two eggs with five tablespoonfuls sugar, and pour the hot mixture over them, stirring well. Return to the double boiler and cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Cool, flavor with vanilla and clinnamon, put into the crust, bake ten minutes, then, after cooling slightly, cover with a meringue made from the whites of the eggs whipped stiff with two tablespoonfuls sugar. Set in a cool oven to puff and color. Cheese Pudding. A delicious cheese pudding is made from one five-cent loaf of baker's bread with a half pound of good cheese about the strength of that used in making Welsh rarebit. Cut off the hard crusts of the bread, slice and butter, laying slices loosely in the baking dish with alternate layers of cheese, cut in thin slices. Heat one egg and add a quart of milk with a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over bread and cheese and let it soak until every slice is moistened. Bake 35 to 45 minutes until brown on top as in bread pudding. Serve on hot plates and quickly. The hotter the better. Baked Bean Rarebit. A novelty in the shape of a bea- rarebit is recommended in the Wom- an's Home Companion as a good way of using up the left over baked beans The recipe is as follows: Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of salt, one eighth of a teaspoonful of paprika, one-half cupful of milk and one cupful of cold mashed baked beans. Stir un- til thoroughly heated and add one-half cupful of grated soft, mild cheese. As soon as the cheese has melted serve on small circular pieces of toast- ed bread or zephyrottes. The recipe is admirably adapted for chafing dish use. Dandelion Wine. One gallon dandelion blossome picked when the sun is shining. Put in stone crock; pour over them one gallon of boiling water. Let stand in a cool place for three days; then put in a porcelain-lined kettle, with the rind of three oranges and one lemon cut up fine. Boll 15 minutes, strain. add three pounds of sugar and the pulp and juice of the oranges and lemon. When lukewarm add half of a yeast cake. Stand one week in a warm place. Strain again; let stand until it stops working, then bottle. Glazed Carrots. Wash and scrape the carrots and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain; slice and place in a buttered baking pan. Sprinkle spar ingly with sugar, salt and pepper, and dot over with butter. Add a half cup of water and bake in a hot oven until brown.

Take all the fat out of a loin of mutton; also off the outside if too fat. Remove the skin. Joint it at every bone. Mix a small nutmeg, grated, with a little pepper and salt, bread crumbs and minced herbs. Dip the steaks into the yolks of three eggs and sprinkle the above mixture all over them. Place the steaks together as they were before they were cut asunder and put in the oven to bake. Baste with butter and the juice which runs from the meat; sprinkle more of the seasoning over. When cooked lay it on a hot platter. Have half pint of rich gravy ready besides that in the dish and add two spoonfuls of catsup, rub down a teaspoonful of flour with it. Let this boil, and pour it over the mutton, first skimming off the fat. The meat should be hot while the gravy is being prepared. Rhode Island Clam Chowder. Three two-inch cubes fat salt pork, one good sized sliced onion, three-fourths cup water, four cups potato cubes, one quart clams, one pint boiling water, one cup stewed and strained tomato, one-fourth level teaspoon soda, one pint hot milk, two level tablespoons butter, salt and pepper to taste, crackers. Cook the pork, onion and three-fourths cup water for 20 minutes, then strain and reserve the water. Parboil the potatoes for six minutes and drain. Add the potatoes to the water reserved from the pork and onion, and add the liquor drained from the clams, also the hard part of the clams, chopped fine, and the boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are tender and add the tomato, soda, remaining clams, milk and butter. When very hot add the salt and pepper and crackers, moistened in cold milk. Cod is one of the cheapest fishes for boiling purposes, but served with a properly made sauce it becomes a real delicacy. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan, but do not allow it to brown.

Add two hard boiled eggs chopped or diced, and, just as you remove from fire, one teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of chopped parsley. Do not allow it to boil after you add the lemon juice, and drain your fish absolutely dry before pouring the sauce over it, otherwise your sauce will become watery. Remedy for Chanred Hands Remedy for Chapped Hands. Anyone who is troubled at all with chapped hands can find relief if, after washing their hands before wiping them, they will put a little of the following formula into palm of hands and rub well into hands and wrists, then wipe them thoroughly dry, and after one or two usings the reward will be a soft, white hand. Put part of mixture in a toilet bottle on dressing table, the rest to be kept handy at sink to use after doing anything to wet the hands for a time. When your hands are once well it need not be used so often. Get 20 cents' worth best bay rum and five cents' worth of glycerin at drug store, then buy two lemons and mix the strained juice with the other liquids, then use. Brown Betty with Peaches Prepare a pint of fine stale bread crumbs and stir into them one-third cup of melted butter. Put a layer of the crumbs into the bottom of a baking dish, add a layer of canned peaches drained and cut in pieces. Sprinkle them with a bit of grated lemon rind and a little lemon juice also a few grains of salt. Add another layer of crumbs and peaches, seasoning as before, then cover with crumbs. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Thicken the peach syrup with a little cornstarch diluted with a little cold water and flavor with lemon juice. Takes Place of Water Bag. Electric appliances are entering into family service at a surprising rate. Hot water bags are superseded by an electric sheet of a given size, exceedingly thin and pliable. It may be purchased at an electrician's supply shop. This thin metal sheet may be heated to three different degrees and thus proves invaluable in the sickroom. The pliability of the metal makes it possible also that this conductor of heat may be changed to all parts of the body.—Vogue. yPittman nitect PATENT DRAWINGS DRAFTING,DETAILING,TRACING BLUE PRINTING TION A SPECIALTY. 494 Louisiana Ave., N.W ESTABLISHED 1873 TELEPHONE NORTH 1595 H.
