THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library DIRECTOR SULLIVAN DEAD. Thomas J. Sullivan, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, died at eleven o'clock Monday morning at his residence, 1823 U street northwest, of pneumonia, following an illness of less than a week. Mr. Sullivan was in the sixty-third year of his age, and had been connected with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for forty years, serving under every director of the Bureau. He was made director June 1, 1906, succeeding William M. Meredith. Mr. Sullivan left his office Tuesday feeling badly from the effects of a cold, but his condition was thought to be better the latter part of the week, and no fear was entertained for his recovery. It was fully expected at the Bureau that he would be able to resume his duties this morning. Also Had Heart Trouble. The cold took a sudden turn for the worse and pneumonia rapidly developed, from which his death resulted this morning. It is also conjectured that heart trouble served to complicate the disease and hasten his death. Mr. Sullivan was regarded as an efficient head of the establishment over which he presiedd, and his sudden death was received with much regret by the officials and employees of the Bureau. When former Director WilliamM. Meredith resigned his position in 1906, Mr. Sullivan, who was then assistant director, was selected as the successor of Mr. Meredith April 12, taking the oath of office July 1, 1906. He was born in the District, and had lived here all his life. Began Career in Banking House. Mr. Sullivan won his promotion to the responsible position of Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing entirely upon merit, as there was strong political pressure for other candidates at the time of his appointment. He was educated in the public and private schools of this city. He subsequently attended the law school of Georgetown University, and received the bachelor's and master's degree in law from that university. At an early age he started his business career with the old-time banking house of Sweeney, Rittenhouse & Co. He entered the service of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, December 1, 1869, as an expert in accounts. He was promoted rapidly through the several grades and was made principal accountant in October, 1872, and assistant chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in March, 1882. The title of the office being changed in 1896, he was appointed assistant director of the bureau July 1 of that year. Upon entering the service Mr. Sullivan devoted himself to the systematizing of the methods and forms in use in th ebusiness of the bureau, and formulated rules and regulations to prevent the loss to the employees and the Government of the valuable securities handled in the Bureau. Mr. Sullivan was full of racial prejudice. He established "Jim Crow" departments for white and colored employees of the Government and declared that the colored people favored it. No other director since the foundation of the Bureau ever created "Jim Crow" departments in that institution. Not even Claude Johnson, who disliked a colored Ament. They represented some of our american as badly as a cat liked to devour a rat. Mr. Sullivan is the inaugurator of the caste distinction in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He never had the respect of colored employees, for the reason he did not like them, and had it been left to him there would not be a colored employee elevated to a position higher than a laborer. FUNERAL DIRECTHESSES. Mrs. Carrie Sules and Mrs. Ruth Dabney Make a New Departure. The Bee presents this week the portraits of Mrs. Carrie Sules and Mrs. Ruth Dabney, who have established an undertaker's business at 32 F street northwest. Mrs. Sules was formerly Mrs. Campbell wife of Mr. Stewart Campe bell, who conducted an undertaker's business in South Washington. Mrs. Ruth Dabney is the wife of Mr. James H. Dabney, one of the leading funeral directors in this city. Both women are among two of the most enterprising in the city. Mrs. Dabney is an expert embalmer and can handle a corpse equal to her husband. Mrs. Dabney greatly felt the absolute need of female undertakers and embalmers. They were convinced that it is more coni- MRS. CARRIE SALES. genial for females to handle females. There are times when females die that it is embarrassing to families for them to be handled by men. This being a fact, these ladies decided to establish a business that will commend itself to the people irrespective of religious creed, color or condition. Mrs. Dabney can handle a body with as much ease as she can handle the reins on her husband's horses. She is congenial as well as a positive character. She is a business woman all over, and one with a keen intellect and practical business qualifications. MRS. RUTH DABNEY. Mrs. Sales, who recently married Rev. Sales, is also a woman of very broad experience. She has pleasing manners as well as a genial disposition. Not only will these ladies embalm and bury the dead they, but they have in addition to their business over a dozen double teams that will be hired for balls, parties, and receptions. Let the community patronize these two enterprising women. They have started a business that should be supported and commended by everyone. The above cuts show the true likeness of these two enterprising personages. See advertisement elsewhere. MR. COLLINS IGNORED. He Complains of Unfair Treatment: April 28, 1908. Mr. Sidney Bieber. Shortly after my appointment as a member of the Board of Elections for the District of Columbia you promised me that I should receive just and proper recognition on said Board and that my suggestions and recommendations would be given due consideration, as I had a right to expect, being placed on there to represent the ninety thousand colored people in this District. Notwithstanding your said promise and your repeated reiteration of THEATRE. 5 I HAVE GOT ME READ ON YOU GWAN! WHAT ER YOU THINK OF THAT GONE TO LAST NO NEGROES WANTED HERE FOSTER. MS. GOWN This is the way colored Americans are treated by managers of the Five-Cent Theatres. Let the law be enforced. the same, every recommendation and suggestion made by me has been entirely ignored. My objections to the location of certain polling places, which at the time you informed me would be granted, have not been carried out by you. Out of the twenty-two names submitted by me to you for appointment as judges of election not one has been named. No later than yesterday morning, at our meeting held in the office of Mr. E. E. Helm at the District Building, you informed me that one colored man would be placed on the returning Board and that I should name him. The returning Board was to have been appointed at a meeting to have been held yesterday afternoon, but if a meeting was held I was not advised as to the time and place of same and had no opportunity to par- 5 FOSTER...MRS. GOWAN This is the way colored America Let the law b ticipate in the appointment of said Board. This Letter is written to you not that I expect it to have any effect upon your future conduct as chairman of the Board of Elections for this District, but to show my friends how I have been ignored in the making of the rules and regulations of this election and to show the colored Republicans the kind of man they are supporting for National Committee-man for the District of Columbia. Yours truly. POLITICAL SNAP SHOTS. "Taft and Hughes" would be a winning ticket. Would it surprise anyone if Senator Fortaker should appear in the Chicago Convention and second the nomination of Secretary Taft? Now that the local campaign is over, the "braves" are no longer contributing to the gayety of nations at Gaskins & Gaines' place. Travis Glascoe's return from Atlantic City had "no political significance." Bishop Derrick is right in saying that there are "some Negroes sane enough not to forget the attitude of Roosevelt on the Crum case, the Indianola episode, the appointment of worthy Negroes of the North to positions heretofore accorded to whites, and his strong stand for equal accommodations on railroads." It had better be the Warner bill for the reinstatement of the Brownsville soldiers than no action at all. The restoration of the innocent men can be safely left to the discretion of the President. Recorder John C. Dancy was among the first to clamber aboard the Taft band wagon, alongside of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, who had charge of the team. The far-seeing North Carolinian secured one of the biggest horns in the Administration outfit, and began tooting it at the Newark, N. J., conference of the Zionites, when Bishop Walters opened up a broadside on Roosevelt and Taft. He kept the tuba in tune and tooted it again most effectively at the Baltimore meeting of the Afro-American Council at Baltimore, and since then, upon every conceivable occasion, Mr. Dancy has made the welkin ring with Administration music. No newcomer can now hope to get possession of a horn that will rival that of Mr. Dancy, either in size or sound. Politics should have no place in the deliberations of the General Conference of the Methodists at Norfolk and Philadelphia. If the Bishops and ministers attend to the business in hand, they will have all they can attend to in the three weeks they will have at their disposal. Real workers do not haunt polit- ATRE. NO NEGROES WANTED HERE rans are treated by managers of the be enforced. ical headquarters, nor worry the life out of the managers with impossible schemes. Useful men are called when needed. Jeff Davis made the usual ass of himself in the Senate Wednesday. Bryan's speech upholding the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South has put to rout the malcontents who framed up the Philadelphia convention. It will not be safe to trust a Democratic president to name four justices of the United States Supreme Court. The nation's highest tribunal is the bulwark of our people's liberties, and it must be kept in the hands of our friends. There will be some surprises in a few days. "He laughs best who laughs last." Secretary Taft has now over three hundred votes "sewed up in a sack," and enough in sight to nominate him on the first ballot. REV. MRS. MITCHELL Mrs. Stanley P. Mitchell, the great evangelist and orator, of Memphis, Tenn., is in Washington, stopping at 1630 1-2 Tenth street northwest. She pastors several churches in the South formerly pastored by her late husband. Mrs. Mitchell is visiting the city of Washington in the interest of her church, race and the many exslaves and the heirs of the survivors of the late depositors of the Freedmen's Savings Bank. While in the Southland she formerly edited one of the leading Negro papers, and is capable of representing and caring for the interest of her race. She has for many years prior to her husband's death aided in many national campaigns and visited nearly every Southern State, preaching and lecturing for justice and fair play. As an orator she has few equals, and her followers are legion; men and women have shed tears when she would in her choice language picture their present lamentable and unde- --- sirable condition, and the privations and sufferings undergone by their forefathers to secure their emancipation; the South loves, cherishes and honors her as one of its foremost advocates. Mrs. Mitchell will aid in the coming national campaign, and has the conviction to say why the Negro men should support the fearless leader and defender of the race — Joseph B. Foraker. She will return to her home in time to help send delegates to the Nationa Convention in June, and she frequently calls the colored man's attention to the fact that in 1896, when Joseph B. Foraker was chairman of the sub committee which drew the Republican national platform in which appeared "The Condemnation of Lynchings" as one of its planks: "We proclaim an un- I HAVE SOME MEME ON YOU GWAN!

ELECTION OF OFFICERS. At the business meeting of the Epworth League of Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, Eleventh and K streets northwest, Monday evening, April 27, 1908, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Peter C. Glascoe, president. Annie Ricks, first vice president. Olive Jackson, second vice president. Marie Thompson, third vice president. Robert Beverly, fourth vice president. Hamilton Clark, secretary. Mamie Walker, treasurer. In a suit brought to recover fee of employer for help furnished the complaining witness being the proprietor of the Eureka Employment Exchange and W. P. Metcalf, defendant, Justice Mills this week gave decision in favor of the plaintiff, remarking that, where service has been rendered by an employment agent, employers must pay their fees. Case was brought under Section 8, entitled "An Act to Repulate the Keeping of Employment Agencies in the District of Columbia." The President has signed the Widows' Pension Bill, which provides for the distribution of more than $12,000,000 annually for widows. BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXCURSIONS. SION. Sunday, May 10, $1.00 to Harpers Ferry, Charlestown and Winchester and return. Train leaves Washington at 8.00 A. M. --- PARAGRAPHIC NEWS PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss Beatris L. Chase. The 14th of next month will be the one hundred and thirty-first anniversary of the adoption of the American flag. The laying of the cornerstone of the Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., will take place the 30th of this month. Tomorrow will be observed by the G. U. O. of Odd Fellows as Thanksgiving Day. Special programmes have been prepared for the occasion. The Afro-American Ledger, of Baltimore, states that the School Board of that city voted down the proposition to have colored supervisors for colored schools. At the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which convened this week, there were a number of colored delegates who are active ministers. The Detroit Informer is conducting a unique contest to decide who is Detroit's most popular bachelor; a number of subscribers means so many votes. The mail will be delivered to business houses in the city earlier in the mornings than it has been. Senator John W. Smith, of Maryland, predicts that the State of Maryland will send an uninstructed delegation to the Denver convention. So many attended the Barnum & Bailey Circus last Monday afternoon and evening that it looked as if the entire population of the District went. The presentation of prizes won in the recent rifle tournament of the M-treet High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School took place last Monday evening in the assembly hall of the M-Street High School. Mrs. Sarah Mullen, the wife of Mr. Thomas Mullen, who had been sick a little over a week, died at her residence, 2003 Eighth street northwest, last Monday morning. Her death was unexpected. In addition to her husband she leaves five sons and three daughters. Miss Hettie Mullen is a student of Howard University. Rabbi S. S. Wise said in his sermon in the Free Synagogue, New York, last Sunday, that "there are three great powers in existence today: the school, the church, and the press, and the greatest influence is exerted by the press." Mrs. Beulah Hawkins, a patient at the county hospital, Los Angeles, after sleeping for eighty-five days, awoke last week and asked for a drink of milk. Last Monday the Senate passed a House resolution appropriating $250,000 for the relief of the sufferers from the cyclone in Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi. Senator Bulkeley, of Connecticut, defended the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Regiment from charges of "shooting up" Brownsville, Texas, in a speech in the Senate last Monday. It is said that Governor John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, is out for the first place or none on the Democratic national ticket which will be framed in July by the Denver convention. The smallest couple in New York wedded this week, the groom being four feet high and the bride three feet nine inches tall. The Brashears Class of the Hamline Sunday School has challenged the J. O.

Elither That or Halved Oranges—How to Prepare Them—Peaches and Oranges Make an Excellent Dessert Dish. Nothing is prettier for the table than jelly or ices served in orange baskets or halved oranges with the two sides tied together with ribbon. One way to prepare these baskets is to draw a circle around the orange, cutting through save for an inch, right in the middle of each side for a handle. Cut away the skin along each side of this handle and carefully remove the pulp of the orange from the spaces left. Throw the rinds into ice water so they will not dry out before using. Wipe carefully and fill with any mixture desired. If one has a very sharp knife the top of the orange and each side of the handle can be cut into scallops with a good sized circle, cut in the center of each. Or the handles can be left plain and twined with smilax or tied with a bow of paler yellow, violet or green ribbon. By Way of Variety.—When the family rebels at having canned peaches served to them as dessert, try the experiment of combining the peaches with oranges. Drain off the juice from the peaches and sweeten it slightly unless it is already very sweet. Cut up a dozen oranges to every quart of peaches and arrange them in a glass dish in alternate rows. Sprinkle each with powdered sugar and pour over all the sweetened sirup of the peaches. Serve very cold. To Clarify Sugar.—Put two pounds of white sugar into a saucepan and pour over one pint of cold water. When this has dissolved put the saucepan over a moderate fire. Beat the white of one egg and before the sirup becomes hot stir the egg thoroughly through. Watch it carefully and when commencing to boil remove the scum as it rises. Boll until the scum ceases to rise, then remove from the fire and either bottle it for future use, or use it at once. This will keep for a month or more if made airtight. The above is the old-fashioned method, but it is the best. A Pleasant Variety. Instead of passing plain crackers and cheese with salad, a pleasant change is given by having cheese straws or cheese crusts instead. The latter are small squares of bread covered with grated cheese, either cream or Parmesan, seasoned highly with salt and pepper and browned in a hot oven. Round water crackers can be substituted for the bread. These should be buttered first before the cheese is sprinkled on them. Sauce for Boiled Celery.—Celery is a good nerve food. It should be boiled in salt water until it is tender, but not to the breaking stage. Drain it and serve it neatly with a cream dressing. A hot lemon sauce is delicious with it, as it takes away the flat taste. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter gradually; beat up the yolk of an egg and add the melted butter to it, cooking until it begins to thicken, when it must be removed from the stove at once. Stir in the lemon juice, a half saltspoonful of salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, and serve immediately. Pass it in a sauce boat, if preferred, rather than pour it over the celery. Dainty Orange Service. With a sharp knife pare the orange just as you would an apple, being careful to take all the white lining of the skin from the pulp. Now place your sharp knife on the left side of one of the little divisions of the orange and lift out the pulp, which, if carefully done, will come out in one piece, and continue the process until all the pulp has been lifted out from each natural division. This frees the pulp from all the fibrous matter of the orange. Sprinkle sugar upon the pulp and let it stand for an hour before serving. Hoarhound Candy. Soak one ounce dried hoarhound in a pint of boiling water for an hour. Strain, and to every cup of the liquid add a pound of sugar. Boll until it splins a brittle thread when tested, then pour on to buttered sheets of tin. When nearly, cold work into inch squares, and when quite cold break into separate candies. If too bitter to suit the taste reduce the amount of hoarhound. Quickly Frozen Ice Cream. By accident we discovered a way to freeze ice cream in almost "no time." After the can has been filled and packed with fine ice and salt pour in cold water until it runs out at the drain in the side of the tub. Turn the crank rapidly, and in five minutes or less the cream will be perfectly frozen and a fine grain.—House-keeper. To Clean Chased Silver. To eight quarts of soft boiling water add one-half pound of salsoda, stir until dissolved. Into this mixture dip the pieces of silver one by one, rinses in clear warm water, and dry with soft cloths. Polish with chamols. The tarnish will disappear as like magic and the silver look like new. Scrub Gas Stove. Nothing is so difficult to cleanse as a gas range. I have tried using a small, stiff scrubbing brush with entire satisfaction. TURPENTINE IN THE HOME. Innumerable Uses for Which It Really Is Invaluable. After a housekeeper fully realizes the worth of turpentine in a household she is never willing to be without a supply of it. It gives quick relief to burns; is an excellent application for corns; and is good for rheumatism and sore throats. Turpentine is a sure preventive against moths; by dropping a trifle in the drawers, trunks and cupboards it will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. It will also keep ants from the closets and storerooms if a few drops are put in the cornigs and upon the shelves, while it is sure destruction to bed bugs and will effectually drive them away from their haunts if thoroughly applied to all the joints of the bedstead. It injures neither clothing nor furniture. One tablespoonful added to a bucket of warm water is excellent for cleaning paint. Turpentine is used in laundry work in conjunction with ammonia to remove paint stains from colored clothes. The two liquids are mixed and the stain dipped in and rubbed until it disappears. It is also used in cold water starch to make the iron pass along the fabric smoothly. Proportions four drops to one tablespoonful of starch. PRUNE SERVED IN NEW WAY. Prepared Thus It Makes the Daintiest Sweet Imaginable. If you want the daintiest sweet imaginable to nibble on this afternoon, go right out to the kitchen now and put some prunes on to soak. Several hours later, perhaps right after dinner, stew them in the same water. Then drain them, and when they are cold, take the stones out, just as you would treat dates. Boll together $1 \frac{1}{2}$ cups of sugar, one-half square chocolate and three-fourths cup of milk until a thick slurp is formed; then add one-half cup chopped English walnut or pecan meats. Remove from the fire; add a half-teaspoon vanilla and beat until creamy. Fill the prunes with the mixture and press the edges together. Dissolve an ounce of gum arabic in a pint of water and dip each plume in it; then in granulated sugar. Set in a warm place until dry, and you won't recognize your humble old friend, the prune, in its new gulse. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Be prompt with home repairs and the house will look ten times smarter than when little damages are permitted to be in evidence. Mother of pearl should never be washed with soap, for it discolors and destroys the brilliancy of the shell. The right method of cleaning is with whitening and cold water. A tablepoonful of alum well stirred into four gallons of water will cause all impurities to settle to the bottom, when the water will be fit for use. Of course, the water must not be touched during the settling process. When ironing handkerchiefs begin ironing in the middle. Ironing the edges first causes the middle to swell out and makes it very difficult to iron and fold them properly. Test the iron on a piece of rag or paper to prevent any accident by scorching. To clean marble take two parts of soda, one of pumice and one of salt (all in powder) and mix to a paste with water. Rub this on the marble, not forgetting to add some "elbow grease," and wash off with salt water. Finish with clean cold water and a soft cloth. Nutmegs Have Medicinal Qualities. Nutmegs have medicinal qualities which make them most useful in the treatment of various illnesses. In cases of colic and dysentery, for instance, nutmeg, very finely powdered and mixed with a little milk, often has a most beneficial effect. For children, one-sixth to one-third of a teaspoonful, according to age, should be given, and for older people from one to two teaspoonfuls every two hours. Sleeplessness is often relieved in the same manner, for nutmegs have very soothing qualities. Covering for Feather Beds. For a covering for feather beds make a slip of cotton cloth eight inches longer and wider than the article to be covered, leaving an opening at one side a third of the length. On each inside corner sew tapes six inches long; also sew tapes six inches long on the four corners of bed or comfort, slip bed in cover, tie the tapes, and either sew the opening at side or use buttons and buttonholes. Cotton challies can be used for comfort instead of cotton cloth. Mlnced Collops. Take 1½ pounds hamburg or round steak and have it ground. Put in a stew pan and stir with a fork until all grains are separated, then cover with water and cook slowly one hour, adding more water if it bolls away. Add salt and pepper to taste and a chopped onion if liked. Thicken with a tablespoonful of flour mixed with cold water, and serve with mashed potatoes. This makes a good dinner for five adults. Remove Onion Odor. To remove the odor of onion from fish kettles and saucepans in which they have been cooked, put in wood ashes or salsoda, potash or lye; fill with water and let it stand on the stove until it boils; then wash in hot suds and rilae well. FOR DINNER PARTY PROPER METHODS OF ARRANGING AND SERVING. Flowers on Table Should Correspond with the Lighting and Color of the Room-Candles Best for Illuminating Purposes. In laying the table for a dinner, it should first be covered with a white silence cloth, and over this a fine damask. Although something more elaborate may be desired, never use anything that cannot stand laundering or cleaning. In selecting flowers, use those free from heavy odor and to correspond with the lighting and color of the room. The low glass baskets for holding flowers are now popular, for they do not obstruct the view of the guests. Candles are used for lighting the table, as they produce the softest effect. Arrange in small cut glass or silver dishes. olives, radishes, or celery, salted almonds and bonbons. Olives, celery, and radishes should have sufficient cracked ice to keep them cold. At the left of the forks lay the napkin, with a roll or piece of bread between the folds but in sight; knives to the right, blades turned in, and beyond these the spoon for soup. If oysters or clams are to be served, lay an oyster fork just beyond the soup spoon. On the left dispose of the forks in order of use, the one to be used first being furthest from the plate. No tablespoons should be on the table except those to be used for soup. A large tablespoon and fork, however, should be on the dish which is placed upon a napkin and passed to each guest by the mald. At the right hand each guest finds a goblet of water, and beside this the glass for Apollinaris. Or, if wine is to be served, the glass for water is set nearly in front of the plate, the glass for sauterne at the tip of the soup spoon, and that for other wine between the three. Salt and pepper cups with spoon are placed between each two covers, or at the head of each plate. A dinner roll is eaten with or without butter, as preferred. At very formal dinners butter is not served, but at informal ones it is often seen When giving a large dinner party, it is better to have everything carved in the kitchen, and handed round to each guest in succession. It is not always possible to do this unless there are a number of servants. If the dinner is informal, let the mald pass around the entree and vegetables for each guest to help himself, and have the soup, roast, and game placed upon the table for the host to serve. A different set of plates may be used for each course; but the guests must never be left without a plate, except when crumbling the table after the salad course. If the coffee is served in the drawing room or library, the bon-bons are passed there. The waitress may bring it in, in after-dinner cups on a tray, and return for the sugar; or the after-dinner coffee service—coffee pot with cups and sugar bowl—may be brought in on a large tray, and set down on the table at which the hostess pours the coffee. The maid passes the cups on a tray, and afterward the sugar. Plinks, roses and violets are always suitable for table decorations, but they should not be put on the table until just before dinner is served, as they are apt to be wilted by the heat and the lights. Cleaning Tan Shoes Often the blinding of one's dress will leave a dirty black mark across the instep of dainty tan shoes and this simply refuses to be cleaned with the ordinary tan polishes. The shoes can be washed, but the rag must be merely dampened and rubbed on naphtha soap or any yellow soap, and all of the leather must be washed off. Rinse the cloth and wipe the shoes and rub dry with an old towel. They will be clean and lusterless. Apply a good tan polish and rub vigorously with a piece of old cotton stocking top. If care is taken not to dampen the shoes too much they can be cleaned and made to look like new, but all parts should washed or stains will show. To Make Roasts Tender. Try this once and you will always follow it. When you put your roast in the oven, put a small dish of vinegar in also. It will not only keep your meat from burning, but will make it much more tender than it would otherwise be, improving the flavor as well. A teaspoonful of vinegar put in a five-pound pot roast will make the meat more tender and palatable. Mock Duck. Take one round cut of round steak, cut an inch and one-half thick. Make a dressing of bread, apples, one egg, a lump of butter, two large onions, sweet margin, salt or pepper; mix well. Salt steak, put dressing on steak, roll and sew. Bake in oven as you would a duck; baste often. This is delicious. Sweets for the Children. One cup nut meats mixed, one cup sultana raisins, one-half pound flgs. Put through meat chopper, form into small balls and roll in powdered sugar. Chop dates, flgs and peanuts, equal quantitles. Make into flat cake. Cut into squares and roll in powdered sugar. An Excellent Tea Dish. On a fine gridiron place some slices of salt pork cut as thin as possible. On each slice lay a good sized oyster, or two small ones, broil and serve hot. UTENSILS FOR THE KITCHEN. New Contrivances That Simplify Work Cook Has to Do. Among the new contrivances for the kitchen is a knife for paring potatoes and cutting them into fluted strips.. Compared with the complicated utensil that has been constructed for this purpose the knife seems wonderfully simple. It slices and flutes with one stroke, the action being the same as when using an ordinary straight-bladed knife. The grooves in the blade of this fluter make the ornamental lines in the slices, giving a dalty appearance to the potato. Grape fruit has become popular since doctors began to recommend it as one of the articles of diet conducive to longevity. It is a difficult task to remove the seeds from a grape fruit without spoiling the appearance of the fruit. A new knife especially designed for this purpose is being shown. It has a long, curved, thin blade. This blade is inserted into the heart of the grape fruit, and with a skillful twist the superfluous part can be removed without damaging the contour of the fruit. Several new styles of funnels are provided with strainers. One shows the funnel with strainer attached and also some that can be used apart. One of the best of the latter style is a strainer that fits into the outlet of the funnel. It is a bulb-shaped contrivance about the size of a five-cent piece, and it fits snugly into the bottom of the funnel. It can be left there or taken out if desired. A bit more elaborate is the strainer attached to the funnel, and it has the advantage over the other of being always in place. The strainer can be lifted back when not needed. When straining is desirable it is dropped over the top of the funnel and held there by a catch. STIFFEN LOWER PART ONLY. Mistake to Iron Bodice Part of Any Under Garment. The lower part only of a petticoat is stiffened, as the softer the bodice part of any undergarment the more comfortable it is to the wearer. But two-thirds of the skirt should be stiffened. The degree of starch used depends on the quality of the material, but as these skirts are frequently made of fairly strong muslin they require less stiffening than thin material. They may be stiffened in equal parts of starch and water, or at least two-thirds of starch to one-third of water, unless they are desired very stiff, when they must be dipped in full starch. They should then be dried and damped and they are ready for ironing. To iron a petticoat, being with the lapes, straps and then the bodice. The skirt may then be ironed on a board. The skirt should be folded into a strip, arranging it, to begin with, by the back seam; then double the strip into two, or fold in three according to the length of the skirt. Flour Pudding. This desert is known in Maryland and the Virginia as a "flour pudding," but in reality is a boiled apple dumpling. Sift sufficient flour to make the quantity of dumplings you wish and mix in a little salt. Pour into this boiling water direct from the kettle, sufficient to make a soft dough. Mix quickly before it has time to get chilled, roll out on the bread board in sheets about three-quarters of an inch thick and spread over it the apples pared and quartered. Sprinkle over this a little sugar, roll up quickly, just as you would a jelly roll, tie in a cloth wrung from cold water, and plunge quickly into a pot of boiling water. Boll for an hour and a quarter. Serve with milk and cream, half and half, sweetened and flavored with grated nutmeg, or any other sauce preferred. This also is delicious made from peaches, and in the winter time we make it of preserved fruits, plums and peaches being particularly palatable. Best Waffles. Use two eggs, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon melted butter, one fourth teaspoon salt, two heaping cups flour, one cup sweet milk, one cup sour milk or cream, one-half teaspoon baking soda. Yolks and whites of eggs are separated, with salt added to whites, sugar to yolks. Yolks beaten until creamy and lemon colored and added to sweet milk mixed with one cup of flour! Then add melted butter. Mix in the other cup of flour. Dissolve soda in sour milk and add to mixture. Whites of eggs beaten stiff and dry are then added. In Lattice Work.

LDRIGH TO RETIRE LEADER OF SENATE WILL QUIT AT END OF TERM. angered by Passing of Party Rule in Upper House—Young Blood is Too Hard to Control is His Complaint. Washington—Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island is making arrangements to retire from public life at the expiration of his present term, March 3, 1911. The declaration is made that age is responsible for this determination. He will be 70 when the time fixed for stepping off the stage arrives. As a matter of cold-blooded fact senator Aldrich is preparing to give his position because the greatest alterative body of the earth is daily becoming more and more nonpartisan. Mr. Aldrich was elected to the senate in 1881, and will have served 30 years when he retires, according to its present determination, in 1911, twelve years ago, in 1896, Mr. Aldrich became the tactical leader of the senate, when the Democrats were driven from control and that body was reorganized by the Republicans. He became chairman of the committee on les. There was then a comparatively small working majority. A combination was arranged by which senators Allison, Aldrich, Hale, Platt, Connecticut, and Spooner took control of the senate. Later, with the entrance of Hanna, he was made member of this little group, and the big six" was recognized as absente and supreme. Step by step Mr. Aldrich was advanced until he became chairman of the finance committee, taking the place so long held by John Sherman. Allison took entire large of all matters pertaining to the bursement of public funds and Aldrich joined after all other legislia. Scranton N.Y. 1898. SENATOR NEESY W. ALDORCH e affairs. The other members of the big six' were mere adjuncts. big wars were here adjuncts. Aldrich and Allison ruled the Rebellican majority with a rod of iron. ad then Hanna dled, Spooner retired, ad Platt also passed away. Aldrich. Aldson and Hale then became "the three." Still more recently the seat powers of Allison and Hale been to be impaired by ill health and e. Aldrich was left in absolute and disputed domination. Each year the Republican majority new until now two-thirds of the senate are members of that party. As the majority grew the inclination to kick or the traces was more in evidence. Every man wanted to be boss in his right and continually lessened attention to the leadership of Mr. Aldrich. The culmination of this revolt me with the financial measure of which Mr. Aldrich was the author and which was modified and changed and made more drastic to suit the varying whims of those who refused to give their noses counted and vote cordially. With this revolution Mr. Aldrich w the handwriting on the wall and cled to abandon the struggle for premacy He would gladly relinquish his poston now, before it is necessary nextar to pilot a revised tariff bill rough the senate and appease those presenting many conflicting inters and sections. But he has more an two years yet to serve and does it care to run in the middle of a night. He will wait until his term ex- pos, being fully aware that perhaps the last vestige of tactical control may wrested away from him in the very est contest. Since the Aldrich bill passed a quiet invas has been made among Republican senators for the purpose of assailing if a combination to overwow the "bossism" of Mr. Aldrich be formed. It is proposed to blind or more Republican senators into hard and fast agreement to co-operate on various matters of nonpartisan dissipation. Acting with the Democrats, this number could enact all kinds of radical or reformatory laws, send them on to the house, despite the most vigorous antagonism of Mr. Aldrich. If it is found possible to perfect this volt within the Republican ranks and make it effective as a working force, the overthrow of Senator Ald- hill will be accomplished long before a time fixed for his retirement from public life. And with him will prob- pass all semblance of discipline leadership on the Republican side the senate. "Ginger" Boards Trails in Motion and Bosses Trailmen. Baltimore, Md.—Ginger, a curly-haired, chrome-yellow dog of uncertain ancestry, with, however, a-strain of patrician Irish terrier blood in his veins, has been appointed unofficial yardmaster at Calvert station, Northern Central railway. Ginger's promotion is unprecedented in railroad animals, because he only got his job with the company last fall. Merit alone has been responsible for his rise. The trainmen at Calvert station felt the need of a dog for a long time be- M. H. Rides the Pilot of an Engine. fore they all chipped in and bought Ginger from a saloon keeper. The dog when taken to the station was told that if he made good his rapid advancement would follow. He made good. In two weeks he was riding the bumper up and down the yard; in a month he made a tour of inspection of the road as far as Sparrows Point; a little while afterward he was bossing shifting operations in the yard at Calvert station, riding up and down on the pilot of the shifting engine and swearing in pure dog language when things didn't go just right. Recently the trainmen thought that Ginger's work deserved special recognition, so they clubbed together and bought him a handsome leather collar with brass studs and a name plate, on which is engraved: Ginger isn't at all stuck up over this honor, however. He continues to attend strictly to business. Calvert Station yard is a very disturbing place to a person who isn't used to such scenes. Huge engines are roaring and snorting up and down the tracks, shifting cars, taking trains out and performing other duties in clouds of steam and smoke. One wonders how anybody escapes being run over. But the trainmen are used to it, and so is Ginger. The dog has learned to board engines and cars and leave them while they are in motion, and always keeps an eye open for approaching trains when he is out on the tracks. Also he keeps watch on his friends, the trainmen, and if they get into what he considers a dangerous position he barks at them until they abandon it. SUCCEEDS ADMIRAL EVANS. Rear Admiral Thomas Now in Charge of Pacific Fleet. Washington.—Rear Admiral Charles Mitchell Thomas, who has succeeded PEAR-ADMIRAL THOMAS to the command of the United States fleet at Magdalena bay because of Rear Admiral Evans' illness, has been in the navy since 1865, when he was graduated from Annapolis. He is a native of Philadelphia and is 61 years old. Rear Admiral Thomas has been mostly in active service, but has served at the Naval academy and the Naval War college and in the coast survey work at different times. In 1899 he commanded the Lancaster, in 1900-1901 the Brooklyn, in 1901-1902 the Oregon, and in 1904-1905 was commandant of the naval training station at Newport. He became commander of the second division of the Atlantic fleet in 1907 and has since been commander of the second squadron. ASQUITH IS PREMIER CAREER OF SUCCESSOR OF SIR CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN. Indomitable Struggle as Result of Which He Has Risen from Unknown Barrister to Head of British Cabinet. London.—To tell the life story of Rt. Hon. Herbert H. Asquith, the new British premier, is to recount the history of an indomitable struggle which lifted an ambitious man from the office of a briefless barrister into the virtual headship of an empire. Mr. Asquith is a Yorkshire man, born of a nonconformist family and brought up amid the religious influences of a Moravian community. From his boyhood he has taken life seriously and the determination he displayed during his school days is doubtless the underlying reason of his elevation to the proud position which comes to him by the resignation of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. From the City of London School, where his first education was obtained, Mr. Asquith went to Oxford. At Balliol he fell under the influence of Jowett, and into the company of men who in later years made the most distinguished names in contemporary history. He achieved a great reputation, carried everything before him and proved himself the first man of his year. With his degree he went directly to the bar and for several years experienced the tribulations of the young barrister. Not long after leaving the university he married. His wife died Tomaso Herbert H. Åsquith. leaving him with five children and this incident had a deep effect upon his earlier years. Mr. Asquith had taken an inferior part in politics until 1886, when he was returned to the house of commons as a liberal from East Fifeshire. He thereupon began a surprising career. He made his first mark in the liberal party by defending Mr. Cunninghame Graham, who with John Burns was prosecuted for attempting to vindicate the right of public meeting in Trafalgar Square. The case was lost, but the fight he made strengthened Mr. Asquith with the liberals both in and out of parliament. In the following year he laid the corner stone of his reputation. For some time he had, been junior to Sir Charles Russell, later the chief justice of England. When Charles Stewart Parnell was attacked by the Times and demanded an investigation he retained Sir Charles to represent him, with Mr. Asquith as his junior. The Times put Mr. Soames in the box as its first witness and Sir Charles had cross-examined him to no purpose. The court adjourned for luncheon, and Sir Charles staggered Mr. Asquith by calmly informing him that he had better cross-examine the next witness. Mr. Asquith protested, but when court again convened prepared to take on Mr. McDonald, who, after Mr. Asquith's cross-examination, became famous as the "Simple Simon" of the Times. Asquith's first question McDonald answered in supremely silly fashion. The opening was immediately selzed by Mr. Asquith and his reputation was made. Favorable notice of Mr. Gladstone was attracted by the success of Mr. Asquith in the Parnell case, and soon after the home secretaryship in the incoming liberal cabinet was offered to Mr. Asquith, when he was only 40 years old. He was thus promoted at one leap over the head of Sir Charles Russell, who was attorney general, which occasioned much surprise and comment. Mr. Asquith held cabinet rank during the last administration of Mr. Gladstone and the first administration of Lord Rosebery. When Lord Rosebery's cabinet broke up Mr. Asquith's friends believed he was committing political suicide by returning to the bar. He, however, mixed business and politics successfully, retaining his seat in the house of commons until the return of the liberal government under Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Mr. Asquith was at once made chancellor of the exchequer, although his public addresses and the policies he had advocated had always classified him as a radical free trader. Few politicians can claim, it is said, greater credit for the defeat of the protectionists at the last general election. Mr. Asquilh is 56 years old. His shrewd, clean-shaven, eminently lawyer-like countenance is familiar at every big public meeting, and is one of the most prolific sources of inspiration to the caricaturist. Built in 1731 and Situated Near San Antonio, Tex. Houston, Tex.—The oldest adducted in the United States is situated six miles south of San Antonio, near the ancient San Juan mission building. It was built in 1731. The labor was performed by Indians under the direction of the Franciscan monks who lived at the mission. Notwithstanding the fact that this aqueduct is nearly 200 years old, it still is in good condition and performs the service for which it originally was intended. It is an object of much interest to tourists. It is surrounded by a dense growth of shrubbery and the wildness about adds to the picturesque Built by Indians in 1731. appearance of the ancient relic. Comparatively few of the stones which were used in constructing the aqueduct have crumbled or been misplaced. The arches are in almost perfect condition. The Mexicans of the neighborhood have great reverence for the timeworn stone structure. As usual with these people, there is no lack of legends relating to the aqueduct. These stories have been handed down from generation to generation and are implicitly believed by the Mexicans who tell them to-day. The legends of the ancient aqueduct are all of a pleasing character and that is why, perhaps, the superstitious worshipers in the little mission colony like to lounge in its shade and ruminate on the stories that have been told concerning the structure. One of the beliefs of the ignorant Mexicans in regard to the aqueduct is that if a child is led across the structure when it first begins to walk it will always follow the paths that lead to health and happiness in after life. A trip across the aqueduct by a newly married couple also insures for them a happy married life, according to one tradition. LEECH NAMED PUBLIC PRINTER. President Springs Surprise by Giving Post to Illinois Man. Bloomington, Ill.—John S. Leech, who has been appointed public printer of the United States by President Roosevelt, is a native of this city and learned his trade in a job printing office here. Being ambitious, he entered the government service and was steadily advanced until five years ago he was sent to the Philippines to take charge there of the government printing. Senator Cullom and Congressman Sterling were the political backers of Leech for the position of public printer. Leech succeeds Public Printer Stillings, whose resignation was accepted PITT CARTER some days ago, following charges of irregularities in his administration of the office. Makes Tornedo Improvement. Makes Torpedo Improvement. While experimental torpedoes have been made for wireless control, they have been impracticable owing to being subject to interference from sources of Hertzian waves other than that of the controlling station. M. Branly, to whose invention of the coherer wireless telegraphy owes its success, has oblived this fault by the invention of a system whereby the torpedo apparatus is only influenced by Hertzian waves emitted by the transmitting apparatus with which it is in special connection. He has not, he says, invented the control of mechanism at a distance, as this has been done by others. "There is, however, one new object which my apparatus attains. It provides this control from other厉害es. The advantage is that feeding is obtained from accidental voluntary contributions which might have been produced by others. That is all." "Is it true that Burgs's mind has become affected since they went to live in the suburbs?" "Yes, but they did not think so much of his eccentricities till finally he got so bad that he tried to run the mower over his wife's dress." 1 LIVE IN CAVE HOMES PRANCE THE LAND OF MODERN TROGLODYTES. Considerable Portion of Population In Some Districts Inhabit Homes Hewn Centuries Ago—Some Extremely Comfortable. New York.-Most persons will be surprised to learn that France is regarded as a land of troglodytes. But they are not barbarians or savages. On the contrary, most of them are industrious and thrifty folk who have utilized most intelligently the special conditions which enable them to provide comfortable homes for their families at a minimum cost. Cave dwellers form an important proportion of the population in some districts of the center of France. This type of habitation is found hewn out of the chalk on the French coast of the British channel and also in other districts of northern France. But these cave dwellings are not to be compared in numbers with those in central France, and especially in the middle basin of the Lolre, where the groups of troglodytes are most dense. They are found wherever cliffs of white limestone, a marked feature in the geology of this region, rise above the general level. This limestone, almost inexhaustible in quantity, is very compact, but is easily worked and vast quantities are quarried for building purposes. Along the middle Loire and especially on the great inland peninsula between the Loire and its tributary, the Cher, it rises in escarpments on the river banks. These walls are pierced with artificial inhabited grotto. They are innumerable along the Loire from Glen to Saumur. At Blois and Ambolse and in the suburbs of Tours many of the stables A House at Bourre. and outhouses of the dwellings are In the ground. In the valley of the Cher the cliffs for over 18 miles, from Chenonceaux to Saint-Algnan, are honeycombed with subterranean dwellings, most of the people living in these caves, not only the poor but also the more prosperous peasants, and even many of the bourgeois. The chateaux also use these caverns as kitchens, chambers and lunch rooms, and house some of the live stock in them. The town of Bourre is a typical village of cave dwellers. All along the cliffs the visitor sees the doors and windows of the cave houses, and their chimneys rising above the rocks. Until recently none of the people here built houses. They lived by preference in capacious rooms hewn but of the rock. Many of the richer among them now live in houses on the surface, but the great majority are still faithful to the cave dwellings which their fathers dug. There are good reasons for their choice. The summer sun pours its scorching intensity upon these valleys, but the cave dwellings are always cool. They have the same equable temperature summer and winter. Many of them have been utilized for centuries and nobody is ashamed of them. People do not speak of their houses, but of their caves. The rooms in the caves are usually on the same level, but if the rock roof is high enough there is often a second story supported by posts and reached by stone steps carved out of the side wall. What a fortunate fellow is the troglodyte! If more elbow room is needed as his family grows he has only to take his pickax and add length or width to the domicile. If he wants a little more light or air he knocks another hole or two in the front wall. If the little folks disturb their grandparents he can dig out a new room for the old people. His stable is probably next door to the living room, and the cow, chickens and goats live under the common rock roof. Sometimes the dwelling is reached by steps from the outside, but frequently a passage cut through the rock leads to the room. Usually there are sufficient windows for light and ventilation, and the living room lacks no appearance of comfort. It is light and large. The cupboard, the oak table, the kneading trough, a looking glass, a chest of drawers, and a few prints or colored pictures are arranged along the stone walls and behind curtains a bed or two in recesses dug out of the rock. On one side is the old ashboned fireplace and oven where the cooking is done, and the chimney words a most vigorous draught One of the most striking characteristics of these eastern mean dwellings is the complete lack of humidity on the walls, in which respect they differ from most natural limestone caverns. No doubt there are many thousands of people in crowded cities whose habitations cannot compare in comfort and healthfulness with the cave dwellings of central France. Imposing Twelve-Story Structure to Be Erected in New York City. New York.-Final plans prepared for the new building of the Seamen's Church institute are made public in the annual report of the institution which has just come from the press. The structure is to stand at South street and Coenties slip, and on account of its location near the shipping it will be especially available as a haven for the sons of the seven seas. The entire cost will be in the neighborhood of $600,000. Plans drawn by the architects show a quiet lanternlike tower, to be used for the display of lights which will be ```markdown ``` How Seamen's Home Will Look When Completed. the code of signals of the institute. The structure will be of brick and limestone, 12 stories in height, and will occupy a plot 100x100 feet. On the main floor will be the shipping bureau and offices. It will be used as an exchange where seafaring men may obtain employment. The restaurants and kitchens will be in the basement. The first floor will be devoted to billiard and recreation rooms. The large assembly rooms will occupy the second and third floors. Upper floors of the structure will be given up to sleeping quarters for 400 sailors and 100 officers. WILL NOMINATE MR. BRYAN. Choice of Nebraska Delegation Has Fallen on I. J. Dunn. Omaha, Neb.-Ignatius J. Dunn has been selected by the Nebraska delegation to the national Democratic convention in Denver, to nominate William J. Bryan for president. Mr. Dunn is one of the four delegates-at-large selected by the Nebraska convention. He is city attorney of Omaha and has been identified with Democratic politics in his home state for 12 years. He is a strong supporter of Mr. Bryan, a brilliant orator and an attorney of high standing in Omaha. During the internal dissensions which have rent the Democratic party from time to time he has managed to strike a happy medium, IGNATIUS J. DUNN and now represents a united party in Nebraska. Unassuming and of a quiet disposition, Dunn is nevertheless considered equal to the occasion for which he has been selected. He has a well rounded, clear voice and will be able to make himself heard in all parts of the big auditorium. Alcohol from Natural Gas. Alcohol from Natural Gas. A method of converting natural gas into alcohol is announced by Dr. Henry Spencer Blackmore of Washington. "I have devised," says Dr. Blackmore, "a process of converting natural gas, which contains on an average 96 per cent, methane, into alcohol by the action of limited portions of oxygen or air in the presence of a heat absorbing fluid, such as steam, which prevents complete combustion and maintains the temperature below the decomposing point of alcohol, the oxidation being induced and maintained by passing the gaseous ingredients through an electrically heated gauze. If the combustion is properly regulated and controlled, 5,000 feet of natural gas will produce approximately 50 gallons of alcohol, and as natural gas can be readily obtained in unlimited quantities at from five to ten cents a thousand feet it follows that the cost of 50 gallons of alcohol produced in this manner would be only 25 to 50 cents for raw material." Clubwomen Interested. Clubwomen will be much interested in the meeting of the governors of 46 states, which is called for some time in May by President Roosevelt to consider the conservation of the natural wealth of the nation, as forestry committees are especially concerned as to what the effect of this discussion may have in protecting the trees of the country. --- THE BEE PUBLISHED 1109 Eye St., N.

One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months ......50 Subscription monthly ......20 THE COLORED VOTE. The colored voter has been asked by a few disgruntled and disappointed colored Republican politicians, in the event of Mr. Taft's nomination, to vote the Democratic ticket. The Bee wants to know what inducements have the Democratic party offered the colored voter. Will these disgruntled gentlemen read a few acts of the Democratic party and ask themselves if they commend themselves to the intelligent colored voter? First. Every male colored citizen, with but a few exceptions,has been disfranchised in the South, and Mr. Bryan, the new exponent of the Democratic party, and twice defeated for the presidency, endorses these acts of disfranchisement. Second. Every State in the South has enacted "Jim Crow" car laws, which means that no colored American, no matter how respectable he is, is considered the equal of the white man, no matter how dirty and filthy he is, and must ride behind, and places in the cars can be placarded "For Colored People." Third. Places of public amusement prohibit colored Americans from entering and all of them have "Jim Crow" corners. These are a few of the principles of the platform of the Democratic party. While The Bee is no special champion of Mr. Taft, and no doubt he needs no champion, will the colored voters of the country have inaugurated by the Democratic party or folow blindly the new principles that be enunciated by Mr. William Jennings Bryan? It should no longer be a question of doubt as to which party colored Americans will support. There should be no doubt in their minds as to what they intend to do, notwithstanding the ills they are now suffering. It is true Mr. Foraker has defended the cause of the colored soldiers. It is also true that they were dismissed by an executive order. It is also true that Secretary of War Taft endeavored to persuade the President to revoke that order. Is it right or proper that colored Americans should declare against the Republican party, in the event of Mr. Taft's nomination, and support its vilest enemy? Take the history of both parties since the emancipation of the colored Americans. One reads as sweetly as the song of the siren, while the other reads like thons appear and look. Let the colored voter look about. THOMAS J. SULLIVAN. Thomas J. Sullivan, chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is dead. He is no more. He served the institution will. He, like many, had a grave fault. He did not believe in the equality of man. He did not believe that a colored man was as good as a white man. He erected a monument in that institution that will or should decay with the death of Mr. Sullivan — a monument of caste, 'prejudice, and discrimination. Not since the establishment --- of the Buheau has such a monument been known until Thomas J. Sullivan was made chief. His rise was the demotion of worthy colored men'and women. Mr. Sullivan has gone where no traveler was yet known to return. If he believed in his God, he has no doubt realized by now that Negro spirits are not separated from the white. In the appointment of Mr. Sullivan's successor it is hoped that the President will not appoint a man who does not believe in the equality of citizenship, and make him know that all men are created equal. Teach him to know that God made from one flesh all men, and that the color of a man's skin should not be a bar to his elevation. The disgruntled and discontented held a meeting at Galbraith Church last Monday night. There were several distinguished men present: namely, Senators Dick of Ohio and ex-Senator Chandler of New Hampshire. Both gentlemen are well trained politicians and men of ability. Both are playing politics, and if Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers knew how to do likewise he would muzzle his mouth sometimes. At this meeting indirect reference was made to the editor of The Bee relative to the so-called Negro Conference held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., in which the Editor of The Bee figured. If the speaker who made reference to the Editor had the sense of a mule he would have concluded his speech by informing the people that the meeting held at Philadelphia was a monumental farce. Will the Rev. Sylvester L. Corrothers state why he is speaking so loud against the Administration? Perhaps, if he wants the information and address the letter to The Bee, he will receive some interesting information. Don't delay, because the people are anxious to know. INCONSISTENT CRITICISM. The Express, at Dallas, Texas, in its last issue, undertakes to read The Bee and the IndianapolisFreeman a lesson because these two publications, in common with many other Negro newspapers, have had the tenacity to publish the news, and the facts regarding Mr. Taft's lead in the presidential race. The Express assumes to criticise these newspapers. Speaking for The Bee alone, we wish to state that we will continue to publish the news. If Mr. Taft's lead is such as to insure his nomination, which no one in possession of the facts will deny, The Bee violates no sense of gratitude to Senator Foraker, in so saying. The Bee contends that it is for the nominee, whoever he may be, for the reason that The Bee proposes to support the Republican ticket as against a Democratic conglomeration consisting of Bryan, Vardaman, Tillman, Heflin, and the rest of the Democratic host who have announced publicly in favor of denying to the Negro the right of suffrage. In the same issue The Express also carries the following editorial paragraph: "The Dallas Express has no patience with the wild talk of certain radicals in ebony who talk about electing Bryan if Taft is nominated. This would be a case of passing from torment to h—l. There's no "ifs" in our fight." Now in the above paragraph The Express actually takes the same stand that The Bee has taken, and if it takes a stand in one editorial in favor of supporting the Republican nominee, how can The Express consistently criticise The Bee or any other Negro newspaper when it simply pronounces in favor of the Republican ticket, with or without Taft? The Dallas Express, like The Bee, The Indianapolis Freeman, and other sane newspapers, is for the Republican nominee instead of the Democratic nominee, and the above quoted paragraph from its last issue is the proof. COLORED AMERICANS. Because colored Americans disagree is no reason that they should be called traitors. Because colored editors do not agree with other colored men, because of their allegiance to the Democratic party, is no reason that they should be called traitors to the race. Some colored men have declared that they will support the Democratic party if Mr. Taft is nominated, no matter who that Democrat may be. If Vardaman is nominated no doubt this declaration holds good with those who have declared against Mr. Taft. There are some editors who have declared in favor of Mr. Taft, and because they have so declared they are styled traitors to the race, and the charge is made that they have been bought by the managers of Mr. Taft. There is not a man supporting Senator Foraker who has not begged either him or his managers for money. Those who have cried the loudest for Mr. Foraker have been the most persistent beggars. One distinguished colored physician of Petersburg, Va., was in the city a few weeks ago and declared that he worked incessantly for Foraker delegates in the State of Virginia and only received two hundred dollars, and because he could not get more money or be reimbursed for moneys he had used of his own, he left the combine and returned home in disgust. This same individual called to see the manager of the combine, that is the moneyed man, and, becoming disappointed, he declared vengeance against Senator Foraker. These same men are abusing the friends of Mr. Taft, many of whom have not received a penny. The Bee challenges any man to prove or show a single application it has made to any man of the Foraker combine for one cent. For five years The Bee supported Senator Foraker in and out of season without a penny or hope of reward. Senator Foraker is today surrounded by a set of renegades and demagogues willing and ready to suck his life's blood from him. They are sailing under false colors. These cowardly attacks that are being made upon Dr. Booker T. Washington come from the drones of the colored race. Dr. Washington is doing more and has done more for his people than all his opposers combined. Point out to The Bee, if you can, one commendable act that has been done by the defamers of Dr. Washington. Point out one monument that may be handed down to posterity. The Tuskegee Institute and the works of Booker T. Washington are living monuments of his ingenuity and progress. There are colored men standing at the foot of the ladder barking like dogs, while Dr. Washington continues to climb. Of course these moral (?) vampires who are condemning Dr. Washington are in politics for love (?) affection. Senator Foraker has been pursued by these black vampires like hounds pursue runaway slaves. So obnoxious have many of these men been to the Senator he has wondered to himself if there was any gratitude in the Negro. If they had so much love for him, why did they not contribute money to elect two delegates from this city to the National Republican Convention. The two delegates that have been elected are for Mr. Taft. The Boston Guardian, under its Democratic editor, Trotter, has done the cause of Senator Foraker more damage than all his true friends can repair. It's unreason- able assault upon Negroes, whom Trotter is unworthy to even be mentioned with in the same breath, is having the effect of driving friends away instead of drawing to. The Guardian has long since become a persecutionist rather than a prosecutionist. It's a violent denunciator that is on a par with the anarchist paper that was denied permisssion to go through ment. The Bee yields to no man in its admiration for and gratitude to Senator Foraker. Can some of these blatant demagogues who are posing as Foraker champions say as much? The Bee has never solicited a penny directly or indirectly, not even remotely, from Senator Foraker or his managers, or from Secretary Taft or his managers. The Bee is not subsidized to be for or against. KING OF TEXAS Way down in Texas, Dallas, if you please, there is a man by the name of King, said to be the editor of the Dallas Express. This man King never heard of the Taft boom till he read The Bee, and because it so readily imparted to him the information necessary he has gone "crazy" and in his wrath he has declared eternal venegance against The Bee. It is to be regretted that King lives so far from civilization as not to know that Senator Foraker is out of the running. The Bee, like Senator Foraker, is under obligations to no man or set of men. The Bee stands today where it stood twenty-six years ago, free and independent. The Editor of the Dallas Express should raise jackasses, and perhaps they could teach him something. NEGRO STOCK DELEGATES The variousNegro meetings called to denounce President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are composed of the same men — sort of stock delegates. They remind us of the old-time traveling minstrels who pitched their tent wherever they hapened to be. Why not inject a little variety in these meetings by putting forward some new converts? Why not put forward a few new men who are not hired, at so much per, to make a noise? Why not put forward a few men who have some visible means of support? If this was done then the opposition to President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft might be considered more serious. But it's the same old men have the same old way. JOSEPH F. RALPH It is believed that Mr. Joseph E. Ralph will succeed the late Thomas J. Sullivan at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Mr. Ralph believes in the rights of man and equality of citizenship. The Bee is confident that Mr.Ralph will eliminate racial prejudice and the discrimination that Mr. Sullivan inaugurated in the Bureau. Should Mr. Ralph be successfull The Bee extends its congratulations. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. (Continued from first page.) Presbyterian Church, celebrated the thirty-fourth anniversary of his pastorate. On motion of the Government in the Federal Court at Fort Scott, Kan., the trial of Frederick D. Warren, editor of the Appeal to Reason, who is charged with sending "scurrilous, defamatory and threatening" matter through the mails, was continued until the November term of the court. The Supreme Court of the United States has entered a decree for the appointment of a master to take testimony in the suit of the State of Virginia against the State of West Virginia. Rev. N. J. Watson, pastor of the Holsey African M. E. Church, in Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia, dropped dead in the pulpit last Sunday while he was about to preach. Rev. Watson presided over the Col M. E. Church Conference, which was in this city, before going to Germantown. Many colored Baptists of this city gathered at noon last Sunday at the riverside in Anacostia to witness the baptismal services which were conducted under the auspices of the Israel Baptist Church. The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church opened its twenty-fifth quadrennial delegated session last Wednesday morning at ten o'clock at the Lyric, in Baltimore. Many visitors attended. The Lancet, published in London, tackled the woman question last week and says "Woman is deceitful, obstinate and cruel, but a scientist." The publishers of the Appeal to Reason, of which F. D. Warren is the editor, are sending out sample copies of the paper. The Weekly Defender, of Wilwaukee, states in the issue of the 2nd instant that it is the only paper published and edited by colored men in the State of Wisconsin. Richmond, Va., April 30, 108. Dear Friends:—On the night of the 11th of last month, just as I was preparing to retire, I fell at the top of my stairway and fractured my left knee cap. What I have suffered since that night, in bodily pain and mental anguish, only those who have met with a similar misfortune can fully realize. It pleased God in his inscrutable wisdom to afflict me, and I have striven, despite all my agony, to bear the same without murmur. But the gloom and misery of my sick-room have been so lightened by the hundreds of acts of kindness; by the countless prayers that have ascended in my behalf; by the unnumbered tokens of sincere love and affection; but the most beautiful flowers, plants, lovely bouquets, elegant presents of bric-a-brac, a clock, pictures, fruit, the daintiest and most appetizing luncheons, luxuries of every sort and kind, without number,—coming from everywhere — from Massachusetts to North Carolina,—that I want to say to eahc one who has come to see me; to each one who has had one kind thought of me in that I want to say to each one who has sent me even so much as a bud; to each one who has sent me the smallest token; to each one who has written me a line of comfort and sympathy; to each individual and to each council who has remembered me in any form to the various boards, officials and employees of the St. Luke; to those who have uttered one prayer to our God in my behalf—I most sincerely thank you for the same. I can never pay you; I can only show gratitude and appreciation; but God will repay. Friends, I do thank you. I rise from my bed weaker,doubtless, in body, but stronger in soul determination to do the vork which the Master has given me. With your help I can succeed. Again thanking each and every one, old and young, great and small, and invoking upon you God's everlasting blessing. Georgia falls in line for the nomination of Taft by force of circumstances. No need to kick against the pricks now. The "antis" or allied forces have lost their opportunity. The fight is won. The majority is for Taft. No dishonest methods or advantages have been taken of anybody, but the Taft forces were organized, and won out. THE NEGRO STRONG IN BATTLE. Amid all the storm there is a class of colored people who are standing firm believers in Roosevelt, and will give a loyal support to Secretary Taft. President Roosevelt has made some mistakes, the same as any other man; but he has in more ways than one, and upon numerous occasions, demonstrated his love for the colored man, when it cost something to do it. Be ye not disturbed; there is an element of Negroes who will give Secretary Taft their entire support when the battle of the ballots is on. MISS ROOSEVELT'S SPLENDID EXAMPLE. The spectacle of Miss EthelRoosevelt teaching a class of children in a colored Sunday School at Washington ought to awaken to their neglected duty hundreds of colored young women of education and leisure who refuse to give an hour's time in a year to the religious instruction of their own blood and kindred.-R. W. Thompson, in the Indianapolis Freeman Fair Play, Parkersburg, W. Va. If Mr. Taft receives the nomination, we are for Taft. We shall stand by the man whom the party nominates at Chicago in June. Shall we prove ourselves to be a race without fibrin in our blood, that one accident — a mere puncture of the skin—shall cause our bleeding to death? Shall we destroy at one blow the source of our manhood rights and of our political achievements? Let us rally around the national standard bearer, whether he be Taft or some other Republican! NEGRO BRYANITES NEED PRAYER. We as a people are Republicans at heart, and whenever you see one of us trying to persuade the other to vote a Democratic ticket, you may rest assured that something is wrong and he needs the prayers of us all. UPHELD BY COURT The Court of Appeals Tuesday handed down a decision affirming the judgment of the District Supreme Court which sustained the action of the Board of Education in the dismissal of Miss Mary E. Nalle from the teaching force two years ago. The woman was dismissed on the recommendation of Dr. William E. Chancellor, who was superintendent, and she began proceedings through the courts to bring about her reinstatement on the ground that no charges had been preferred against her, and that she could not be dismissed by the Board of Educationn without cause. Court's Opinion. "To hold that before a teacher could be dismissed from the service for lack of professional qualifications specific charges must be filed and a trial had, counsel present, and witnesses examined, would convert the Board into a quasi judicial body, and, to a large extent, limit it in the exercise of its administrative discretion. We cannot censure that Congress intended to inaugurate such a system." The Court of Appeals also upheld the action of the Supreme Court in directing a writ of mandamus against the District Commissioners in the case of Howard C. Russell, of the police force, who entered suit for his promotion to Class 2. Claims Right to Promotion. Russell became a member of the force in 1903, and was promoted from private, Class 1, to desk sergeant, then, at his own request, retransferred to a private, thence to bicycle officer. Russell claims that being in the service three years, and having a spotless record, he was entitled to promotion to Class 2, with its increase in salary. The contention of the Commissioners was that his changes in rank had amounted to new appointments, and that therefore he was not eligible to the promotion. The mandamus of the Court of Appeals requires that the Commissioners show cause why the promotion should not be granted Russell. MONEY LOST IN FREEDMEN"S BANK FAILURE. A bill to reimburse the depositors of the late Freedmen's Trust and Savings Company has been passed by the Senate. One million dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy-the proved claims, was appropriated to cover the same. The passage of this long-delayed measure will bring great joy to the colored people who lost their little all thru the failure of this institution shortly after the war. The amounts due those who have died will go to the heirs of the deceased in the regular way. Unclaimed deposits would have gone toward the education of the colored people of the South but for the ill-tempered objection of Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, who contended that a provision stating that the money was to be used specifically for the benefit of the Negro would be "class legislation," and therefore unconstitutional. The objection of McLaurin was sustained and the provision was stricken out. Because of this action on the part of an unreconstructed Mississippi Democrat—a member of the party to which some Negroes are threatening to "bolt"—the poor colored children of the South are robbed of thousands of dollars sorely needed to pay teachers and lengthen the school terms in the Black Belt. The Week in Society The steamer Jane Moseley has been newly renovated, put in thorough repair, and passed by the Government inspectors. She now presents a very handsome appearance. The annual excursion of St. Luke's Church will occur on Friday, July 17th, and the committee guarantees entire satisfaction to all who may attend. Should it be found necessary an additional steamer will be furnished. Dr. J. R. Wilder will address the Men's Club of St. Luke's Parish at the regular meeting, the second Wednesday, the 14th inst, at eight o'clock.

Prof. Clark Hamilton's Orchestra of eighteen pieces furnished the music. Mr. C. B. Norris, of Leesburg, Va., spent a pleasant time with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Manning last week. Mr. Norris was en route for Rhode Island. Mrs. Sarah Steel, of New York, was lso a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Manning, of 28 E street southwest.

Miss Virgie Williams rendered a beautiful solo at John-Wesley. Lawyer T. J. Calloway has one of the nicest offices of any of the legal fraternity in the city of Washington. His friends are congratulating him on his nerve to resign a good Government salary to enter the profession, and all believe that he will make good, as he will undoubtedly carry into the profession the same careful and attentive methods that have enabled him to make success, of the Negro exhibit at Jamestown, and other affairs he has handled. Congressman P. P. Campbell, of Kansas, who was primarily responsible for the defeat of the Heflin bill providing for "Jim Crow" cars in the District, addressed a large audience at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Friday evening. Register W. T. Vernon presided, and Mr. Henry Lassiter was chairman of the committee on arrangements. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis recited William Wells Brown's poem "Fight on Liberty," and was vigorously applauded. She and Mr. Campbell were presented with a beautiful bouquet of carnations. Supplementary addresses were made by Congressmen C. F. Scott and Edward Madison. The Metropolitan Choir furnished music, which was greatly enjoyed by the distinguished visitors. Mrs. W. L. Houston is on the sick list. Mr. Henry Hartman has disposed of his upholstering establishment on U street. Architect John A. Lankford has gone to the A. M. E. Conference at Norfolk. He expects to be elected supervising architect of the connection.

Curtis handsomely entertained the basket ball team of the M-Street High School on Wednesday evening, in commemoration of their having won the interscholastic and interhigh-school cham- pionship in the recent league contests. The Bureau of Misinformation in F street, which essays to give out statements on the political situation, tells a lie made out of the whole cloth when it says that the chairmanship of the Taft press bureau was offered to Editor Simmons or anybody else, and that the position was turned down by anybody. The F street headquarters are a standing joke, and does not aid the cause of the "allies" by purusing a policy of misrepresentation. Oliver Randolph's F street bureau feels called upon to warn the colored press not to publish the news unless said news is colored to suit the purposes of the said F street propaganda. Perhaps the editors many of them veterans in the business know what they want, without Randolph's officious interference. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler spoke to a large assembly of Elks in Alexandra last Sunday, and so deeply impressed them that he has received an urgent invitation to become a member of the order. The Mu-So-Lit discussed Dickens' "David Copperfield" last night at the Conservatory of Music. The review was conducted by Mr. Albertus Brown, of Ohio. Senor Nabuco, the Brazilian Minister, takes a great interest in the colored people of this country, and is anxious to study the problems that affect their well-being. He was an interested listener to Dr. Booker T. Washington on the occasion of his recent lecture in this city, under the auspices of Mr. Henry Lassiter. Special literary exercises will be held Sunday evening at Galbraith Church at three o'clock p.m. The program will be interesting from start to finish, with solos and piano selections.

From a Metropolitan police officer, he first became known as a bass soloist; then as organizer and chorister of the Union Bethel A. M. E., now the Metropolitan Choir — this was more than thirty years ago. Five years later he entered the 'service of the public schools for colored children as an instructor of music. Today he stands at the head of the department of music in these schools — a position won because of his very efficient work as a teacher and as a conductor of large choruses. His work as director of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society, in which he has won national fame, has placed him on a very high pedestal, musically speaking. Because of this service, extending now over a generation, his friends will tender him a testimonial, to be given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Monday night next, the 11th inst. The character of the volunteer musical talent is a guarantee not only of a high grade, but of a popular class of music. The following have signified their intention to appear: Metropolitan A. M. E., Nineteenth Street Baptist, Mt. Zion M. E., and Lincoln Temple Choirs; an octette from the M-Street and Armstrong Manual Training Schools, a quartette from St. Mary's R. E. Choir, and a male quartette from Lincoln Temple Choir; also the following soloists Miss M. C. James, Mrs. Lucy A. Blagburn, Miss Lottie Wallace, Miss R. G. Lampton, Master J. Turner Layton and Felix E. Weir, violinist; Miss Mary L. Europe and Prof. William Braxton, accompanists. A section of the Marine Band will give one or two selections. Tickets are placed at these popular prices: 25c., 35c., and 50c. There are reserved sections, but no reserved seats, those arriving first get the choice seats in the sections for which their tickets call. Those who failed to see the Whitman Sisters and the Second Baptist Church last Monday night missed a great treat. The church was filled to its utmost capacity. Hundreds were turned away because every available space was taken up. The concert was original as well as entertaining. They are the greatest geniuses upon the stage. Don't fail to hear them. Preamble CANTATA MOON QUEEN. This beautiful cantata was given last Friday evening at the True Reformers' Hall, under the direction of Mrs. Madge Dyer White, assisted by Miss Josephine Weston. It was a most wonderful performance, and was greatly enjoyed by the large number of persons present. This cantata embraced over fifty children, girls and boys, who were attired in most attractive and elegant costumes, which added greatly to the entertain-leading and well known families in this District. Master Merrill Curtis, son of Mrs. Dr. Curtis, was the "star of the evening." The Lyric Orchestra furnished the music, and the Woman's Guild of St. Luke's Parish furnished refreshments. The proceeds of the entertainment were for the benefit of the parish fund, for which a handsome sum was realized. Numerous requests have been made to Mrs. White to repeat the cantata. Should this lady consent to do so, it will probably be repeated in East Washington at the Auditorium Hall, in Eighth street northeast. A COMMENDABLE CHARITY. Probably it is not generally known among us that a free dispensary is being supported by the good people of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. It is a most worthy charity and is well worthy the attention and good offices of the colored citizens of this District regardless of opinions or creeds. For several months this work has been going on quietly, unostentatiously, systematically, and numbers of the afflicted and suffering have been administered to freely, "without money and without price." For the present a room in the basement of the church is being utilized for the work, and is opened daily. Upward of six hundred patients have been treated, representing the various Protestant adn Catholic sects of this District. Drs. Charles H. Marshall and J. T. Walker are the founders of this work. The following names constitute the staff: President, Dr. Marshall; secretary, Dr. Walker; treasurer, Dr. Charles A. Sewall; physicians, Drs. George W. Cabannis, C. W. Childs, J. Francis Johnson, A. W. Tancil, James C. Dowling, J. Hayden Johnson; dentists, Drs. A. J. Guanthney and W. S. Naylor; pharmacists, Drs. Daniel Smith and J. W. Morse. The clinic is opened daily from 12 to 1 o'clock. OLD FOLKS' DAY OBSERVED. The old folks of Nineteenth St. Baptist Church, 19th and I streets northwest, were given a treat last Sunday. Early in the morning carriages were sent to every part of the city, to the Stoddard Baptist Home, Old Folks' Home, wherever members resided, and brought them to church. Many of them are blind, some paralyzed, and some too feeble to walk unaided. The pastor, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, preached a sermon. Following the services they were escorted to the basement by the pastor, the deacons and the trustees, where two long tables, seating one hundred and fifty persons, and beautifully decorated with the choicest flowers, were placed. The chairman on dinner, William Walker, assisted by about thirty ladies and gentlemen, seated their guests and all partook of dinner, providing all the delicacies of the season. A snapshot was taken of the old folk while they were at the table. At three o'clock the Lord's Supper was administered. About five o'clock the old people were escorted to the basement, where each one was presented with a bag of fruit and cake and a bunch of flowers and the cariages then conveyed them back home. Over two hundred were in the party. The Nineteenth Street Baptist Church is the mother church of the colored denomination in the city. He was ornagized nearly seventy years ago and has enrolled over two thousand members. It also has a flourishing Sabbath School and Christian Enedavor Society. DR.WASHINGTON IN_DEMAND Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, has been invited by the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to deliver one of its principal addresses during the sessions of the General Conference. The General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church has also extended him an invitation to speak before it, and arrangements have been made to speak at Norfolk before the African Methodist Episcopal General Conference on Friday, May 15th, and before the Afrecan Methodist Episcopal Zion General Conference on Monday, May 18th. He is also in receipt of an invitation from the officers of the National Baptist Convention to deliver an address before it at Lexington, Kentucky, in September. MR. LANKFORD IN RICHMOND M. r. J. A. Lankford is in Richmond, Va., He will return next week, at which time the Negro Business League will meet for business. Mr. Lankford is given the credit for doing more for the,organization than any man in the city. The largest bouquet that has ever been given was given during the presidency of this great architect. CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION. The second meeting of the Citizen's Association of the parents and THE LADY OF BELGRAVE HEAR WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY. The Whitman Sisters are making fine runs in Chicago and meeting with great success. 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. EBENEZE A. M. E. CHURCH Monday May 11, 1908 FRIENDSHIP CHURCH Friday May 15, TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH Thursday May 21, 10TH ST.

Too Many or Too Heavy Hangings Apt to Spoil the Good Effects Good Arrangement for the Too much drapery is apt to make the rooms close and stuffy, and particularly when there is not a large space and the room is not very well lighted, and one must be careful not to produce a cramped effect by shutting out the light. For a moderate-sized room with a folding door which leads into another apartment and is of course permanently closed, a good arrangement can be made without using too heavy drapery. Instead of a pair of portieres hung on a rod and falling in heavy folds, take the material and stretch it across the doors, fastening it even with the door, without the rod, more like a panel effect. When the Material Is Plain. When the Material Is Plain. If the material be plain and not brocade or tapestry it can be draped slightly or laid in folds like box plains and fastened 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 mirror 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. Assignment for Dark Room 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 fastened 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- Philips's March. 2pp.—2d p. ground of the curtain was to make it appear much larger and more spacious, and do away entirely with the effect of a curtained doorway. Oriental Draperies Excellent. 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 door and 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 soft 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 boil 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 simmer an hour. Wash it fine with a spoon and add two well-beaten eggs and stir 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. 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 chamols 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 chamols 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.

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 boll 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 boll the whole until the carrots are well done, when add a half teaspoonful of celery salt, and boll 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 any 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 Pic.

So, as long as these Diamonds last, it will be possible to buy them here under the regular market for GOOD WAY TO COOK MUTTON. Recipe That Is Sent to Us from English Kitchens. 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 spoonsfuls 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 one tablespoon of flour and stir until smooth, flavor with half teaspoon of salt and one-fourth teaspoon of white pepper.

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 cinnamon, 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. Beat 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 bean rarebit is recommended in the Woman'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 until 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 toasted bread or zephyrettes. The recipe is admirably adapted for chafing dish use. Dandellon Wine. One gallon dandelion blossoms 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. Boil 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.

Add two hard-bolled 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 Chapped 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. 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. Takes Place or 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,TRACD BLUE PRINTING TION A SPECIALTY: 494 Louisiana Ave., N.W. --- ESTABLISHED 1873 TELEPHONE NORTH 1595 H.

Benjamin Posteine, white, of New York city, was taken sick with a rare disease last week, which turned him black. The doctors are much puzzled; they think it was morbus maculosis. It is the first of its kind in this country. One of the prominent Senators of the United States is the Hon. Charles Curtis of Kansas. We notice a disposition on the part of the whites (that is, certain portions) to make mountains out of petty crimes committed by the Afro-American, and make light of the crimes, both criminal and petty, committed by their race. All these things should go to show the American Negro the necessity of cease firing and closing up. The natural results will be more respect from the white brother. The various factions of Masons among our race had better, for reasons which we know are for the best, cease firing and make up. Every member of the Order should refresh on their obligations, etc. SOUTHERNMEDICINECO October 15th, 1907. Southern Medicine Co.. Atlanta, G4.
