VOL. 29 NO1 MEN OF THE HOUR MEN OF THE HOUR Entering upon the twenty-ninth anniversary of its publication, The Bee presents to its readers the portraits of a few of its most distinguished friends and able men in the country. The Bee congratulates itself upon having the support and encouragement of men whose portraits appear in this issue of The Bee. MR. THOMAS L. JONES. One of the most successful and progressive criminal lawyers at the local bar is Mr. Thomas L. Jones, who was born in Virginia, the mother of presidents. Mr. Jones in his boyhood days worked on a farm. After having accumulated sufficient funds he entered Wayland Seminary, from which institution he was graduated from the acedemic department. For several years he held a position in the General Land Office, at the same time he entered the law department of Howard University, from which he was graduated. He entered the examination for, and after having passed he was admitted to practice. As a criminal lawyer he has been one of the most successful at the CAPT. JAMES F. OYSTER, bar. Out of twenty-seven murder cases, not one hung. The most celebrated of his cases was a man by the name of Bird. Mr. Jones' associate in that case was a celebrated lawyer of New Jersey by the name of Daily. Hon. John M. Langston subsequently associated himself with Mr. Jones, and they remained together up to the day of Mr. Langston's death. As an orator Mr. Jones has but few equals. His most celebrated addresses were delivered in Philadelphia, Pa., several months ago, and one that was delivered in Lynchburg, Va., last month. Mr. Jones has a family of two children and a very accomplished wife. He lives with his family at 1901 Vermont avenue northwest, in one of the finest neighborhoods and residences in the city. Aside from his criminal practice, MR. A. I. VORYS, MR. TAFT'S MANAGER. he is a very successful civil lawyer. By his profession he has accumulated several houses. DR. S. L. CQRROTHERS, D.D. Brave men are no cowards. They are neither deceitful nor treacherous. It is the man who loves his home and his people who can be trusted. A great deal has been said against Rev. Sylvester L.

He is a thorough race man, no matter what his critics may say. He believes in race enterprises and especially the press that represents the people. He is no apologist, and neither is he a trimmer. He knows no man by the color of his skin. Sylvester L. Corrothers is one of ATTORNEY L. M. KING, A Great Civil Lawyer and an Eloquent Pleader. the greatest and one of the cleanest Churchmen in this country. He loves his home. His church and people love him. He stands today at the head of the Methodist A. M. E. Zion Church; that is, The Bee regards him to be a man of strong convictions in his church. His friends named him for the bishopric. He was fitted for the position, and had he been elected there is no doubt that he would have filled the position with honor. He is the only minister that has been sent to Galbraith Church that has given to it a standing financially. It is known today throughout the country. He has collected more money for Galbraith and made a greater reduction MR. JUSTICE JOB BARNARD, of the District Supreme Court. A Humanitarian. in the indebtedness of the church than all the ministers combined. The Bee predicts his election as the next bishop in Zion. COMMISSIONER WEST Whose portrait appears elsewhere, has proved himself to be, although a Democrat, one of the best friends colored Americans have in this city. Mr. West has the respect and confidence of all classes of people, irrespective of color or condition.May he continue in office as long as The Bee has existed. COMMMISSIONER MACFARLAND. This gentleman is president of the Board of Commissioners. He is a Republican, and an honest man. He is a clean man, and diplomacy is his chief characteristic. He has done Republican Commissioner that has ever presided over the local government. No colored citizen holds a representative position under him. The Bee had expected more from Mr. Macfarland, because he claims to have such a high opinion of colored Americans. MR. SIDNEY BIEBER Was born in this city. He believes in equality of citizenship. He belongs to a race that has been op- M. A LATE PICTURE OF SECRETARY TAFT. William Howard Taft, secretary of war and leading Republican presidential candidate, was born in Cincinnati Sept. 15, 1867. A graduate of Yale and Cincinnati Law school, he began work as a reporter. In 1887 he became judge of the superior court of Cincinnati; in 1890 he was appointed United States solicitor general; in 1892 he became United States circuit judge; in March, 1800, he went to the Philippines, to organize the American government there; Feb. 1, 1804, he was appointed secretary of war. He has rendered conspicuous service in the Philippines; in negotiations with Pope Leo: in Cuba; in Panama, and to American interests throughout the world. pressed, but today this race is beginning to see light. As he grows older he will begin to know more. The recent campaign was an object-lesson to him. As the next member of the National Committee it is hoped that Mr. Bieber will take the same interest in colored Americans as he did when he was Fire Marshal. While a great deal has been said against him, there has been nothing shown that would blemish his character and reputation. The day will soon come when he will be recognized as the man who believes in equality of citizenship. HON, OSCAR J. RICKETTS.

There is no member of the local bar better known to the people in this community than Attorney Thomas Walker, who was born in Selma, Ala., and was formerly a member of the Legislature in that State.

He has since accumulated not only sufficient funds to keep the wolf from his door, but he is the owner of fifteen fine houses in this city. Mr. Walker is a careful investor and is regarded as one of the fairest and one of the most honest men in his line of business. He was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in 1885. He has two degrees — bachelor of law and master of arts. Mr. Walker is not only a successful real estate dealer, but a lawyer of ability. The Bee, on its twenty-ninth anniversary, congratulates this distinguished member of the bar. MAJOR RICHARD SYLVESTER Won his distinction by industry and ability. He is a man of ability which accounts for his success as Chief of Police. All men on the force look alike to him. He is a hard worker, and there is nothing about the business that he does not know. ATTORNEY WM. L. POLLARD A Successful Civil Lawyer and Real Estate Dealer. MR. WM. L. POLLARD. MR. WM. L. POLLARD. Attorney William L. Pollard was born, reared and educated in this city. He is a Washingtonian. From his childhood to this day he is known as the personification of neatness. He is not only a successful lawyer and real estate dealer, but a thorough business man. For a number of years he held a literative position in the City Postoffice, from which he resigned two or three years ago to take up the active practice of his profession. He is prominently connected with many benevolent and business enterprises, in which he occupies prominent positions. He is respected for his honesty and careful handling of the property interests of others, which makes him a factor in this community. Mr. Pollard is MR. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. one of the most polished members of the local bar, and a man of ability. Aside from his legal profession he is a good writer and a profound reasoner. He employs two clerks, who are constantly at work. Since his retirement from the Government there is no member of the bar who has been any more successful than Mr. Pollard. He will not only carefully invest your money, but he will render you honest and prompt returns. Mr. Pollard is an honor to the community and the legal profession. His office is at 609 F street northwest, where he may be found constantly engaged with clients. DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. There is no young man better known to the people of the United States than Dr. James E. Sheppard, of Durham, N. C. Not only is he known in this country, but he is also known abroad, where he has been Continued to page 4 BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXCURSIONS.

John C. Ford, pastor, has quite a history. It was first built in 1868; rebuilt at a greater expense in 1895; destroyed by fire in 1901. The congregation is now in its third new home. Dr. J. N. Mathers, a post-graduate of Howard University, has been appointed rector of the Episcopal Mission at Oklahoma City. The Cumberland Alleganian predicts a "new and better day" in Cumberland, Md., under the new administrative head. The Scientific American states that the largest clock in the world is on the Colgate Soap Factory. It requires sixteen men to carry the hour hand. The Mosaic Guide puts the following pointed question: Has anyone as yet heard Senator Foraker say that he would vote the Democratic ticket if Mr. So-and-So is nominated by the Republican party? Miss Eerlene G. Houston, a recent pharmaceutical graduate of the Howard University, is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Houston, of Georgia. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of Richmond, Va., has so far recovered from the fracture of her knee as to attend the session of the Tents in Hampton. Some people forget that there is a God when life's sea is calm, but they get awful religious at the first ripple. Serve God ardently when all seems well, and He will fight the battles of his people and bring them out victors. The thirty-fourth annual convention of the Tents, an organization composed of women only, was held last week in Hampton, Va. The society was started in the South several years ago. The Savannah Tribune praises Mr. N. H. Sykes, a recent law graduate of Howard University, for the push he has displayed in obtaining an education. Mr. Sykes' parents live in Savannah, Ga. The St. Louis (Mo.). Court of Appeals has decided that "a passenger in a railway coach has a right to remain in any seat he selects, and a conductor has no right to demand his removal to another." William E. McLain received one hundred dollars damages against the St. Louis and Gulf Railway in the Scott County Court. We see by the Nashville Globe that Dr. Josie E. Wells practices among all the women, regardless of complexion. There is no man connected with the local government more popular than Dr. William Tindall, secretary of the Board of District Commissioners. If there ever was an hottest and upright man it is this "stalwart of stalwarts." There is no position under the general or local government that Dr. Tindall is not qualified to fill. What he does not know about government is not worth knowing. He has grown up with this great city. He has the confidence of the people as well as the respect and admiration of the entire Board of District Commissioners. The people of this city have long since thought that Dr. Tindall would have been elevated to a commissionship. He is more than qualified because of his long connection with the local government. Faithful and kind, honest and just are only a few of the great elements in this man. There is no deception in him because he believes that all persons should treat their fellow men as he wishes to be treated. It is hoped that the day will come when he will be elevated to a position commensurate with his long experience in governmental affairs and his ability to exercise the functions of a great executive office. The people of this city honor him because he is a worthy man. READ THE BEE. SICK AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE UP TO $25.00 PER WEEK WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE ON VERY LIBERAL TERMS PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH.

It is with gratitude that The Bee enters today upon its twenty ninth year. During the twenty eight years of its existence it has endeavored to advocate the cause of the people, irrespective of color or condition. It has paid special attention to the colored Americans because they have been and are now more oppressed than any other nationality. Just at this time the position of colored Americans is very peculiar politically. Just where they stand they are unable to state. They are advised by their enemies as well as by their friends. They are oppressed by both. Aside from the enemies, without and within, they are divided against themselves. Their leadership is treacherous and uncertain. It lacks manhood and patriotism. Selfishness and self-aggrandizement seem to be the predominating characteristics of Negro leadership. This leadership is apologetic and cowardly. During the twenty-eight years of The Bee's existence it has struggled for an independence that it is about to realize, and for a people who are impeded by a leadership which has about reached its zenith. The Bee has found that the colored pulpit, to a great extent, is an impediment to the race's advancement, in that there is too much hypocrisy and demagoguery. The moral status of the colored pulpit should be elevated. There should be less attack against the use of intoxicants, and more against immorality. In this the pulpit is greatly in need of reformation. The advancement of colored Americans in business is placing them upon a basis that seems to commend them to the American body politic. While colored Americans demand and will ever advocate equality before the law, he is making politics an incident and not a direct object of his citizenship. The rights of colored Americans under the Constitution of the United States are denied them. State Constitutions have abridged the civil and political rights of colored Americans, which are quietly acquiesced in by the Federal Government. Just now the country is in a political turmoil. One party has held the reins of government for years, with but two changes. The Democratic party, which has denied colored Americans everything tending to their civil and political rights, is confronted by two strong men — Bryan of Nebraska, and Johnson of Minnesota. Mr. Bryan believes in the disfranchisement of colored Americans and a violation of the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Johnson, it is claimed, makes an excellent governor of his State and is just to colored Americans. But behind Mr. Johnson is an element in the Democratic party that believes in secession, and will continue to smart over the lost cause. Mr. Taft, if nominated, will be the nominee of the Republican party. Colored Americans are told by the distinguished Senator from Ohio, Mr. Foraker, to exact from the representatives of the Republican party a promise to restore the discharged colored soldiers to their former positions before the colored vote is pledged. In the event of a refusal, where will the colored Americans go, What changes have taken place in the many departments of the Government? The Bee finds chiefs of divisions and heads of many departments inaugurating a "Jim Crow" corner system. Why should the Government discriminate against its own people? The Constitution of the United States Government quarantees equal protection to all. The very atmosphere has almost been "Jim Crowed." If The Bee could chronicle any event that would be inspiring to colored Americans it would gladly do so. So far as colored leadership is concerned, The Bee wants to say that it is a failure. It is cowardly, sycophantic, humiliating and is fast marching to toadyism. TEMPEST IN A TEA POT: The investigation of alleged graft in the Engineer's Department of the local government turned out to be a tempest in a tea pot. What has been discovered? An employee of the department borrowed some money; another man said that he would give $25,000 if another man would not bid on a certain contract. Now, who believes this? Another individual is charged with having charged a thousand dollars to remove some dirt. Will someone state what the District has lost? Will someone show any wrong-doing? Over a thousand dollars and several hundred have been spent to appease the animus of a competitive and defeated contractor. The United States District Attorney has been asked to investigate this rot. And for what? Where has any criminal statute been violated? This is an age for investigations. The fever has permeated the atmosphere of the District Government without the slightest act of any wrong-doing. Captain Maurice has been abused because he attempts to protect his department, and many of his employees have been besmirched by irresponsible individuals. The District Attorney has been asked to go to the further expense to air a farce in the Grand Jury room or the Criminal Court merely to satisfy the whims of defeated competitive contractors. No sensible man will seriously consider this monumental District farce. A few individuals were anxious to look wise and declare that the Engineer Department of our local government is all wrong. Let the farce be ended. DISTRICT SUFFRAGE. If the good citizens of Washington don't get together at once and demand the right of suffrage thousands of business houses will be put out of business. The Bee congratulates Mr.John E. McGaww, a wealthy, prominent merchant of this city, for taking the initiative in this movement for suffrage. No other city in the United States would permit existing oppressive conditions. The people are being imposed upon shamefully, and so far as their rights are concerned they have none. The property interest in the city is being taxed oppressively. The people have nothing to say in the selection of men who are to rule and conduct their affairs. If the people don't appeal to Congress for relief every important business man will go to the wall. The District Democratic: Convention held recently deserves great credit for the fight it made for suffrage in this city. The Republican organization failed in everything. It was a campaign of graft or nothing. A well-regulated elective government is what the people want. Give us suffrage. --- THE WHITE FEVER. A person has the right to marry whom he pleases, no matter what the nationality may be. The Bee does believe that colored men who crave white women put a small estimate upon their own women. The white fever craze is turning the heads of some colored men to an alarming degree. So far as The Bee is concerned, there are enough roses in the colored American bouquet race that ought to satisfy and please all nationalities and more especially the colored man. The white fever ought to be cured and colored men ought to think enough of their women to marry and protect them. MEN OF THE HOUR. Continued from page 1. in the interest of the work in which he is engaged. He is a young man who has business relations with the richest and most prominent men in the world, who respect and admire him for his great moral character and ability. Dr.Sheppard's new propaganda is to educate the colored American through the Sunday school. He believes that colored Americans can be reached quicker and better through this medium. As a speaker he has no equal, and in the line of business in which he is engaged he has no superior. He is a native Southerner, and there is no spot in the South in which he is not known. He was born in Raleigh, N. C., in 1874; graduated from the common schools and Shaw University, taking a post-graduate course at two of the Northern universities; studied medicine, and opened the first colored drug store in the state. Under the McKinley administartion was Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue at Raleigh, N. C., four years; field superintendent of the International Sunday School Association, among colored Americans. He holds several other important positions, such as first vice president of the Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, director of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, trustee of the Lincoln Hospital, and director of the Southern Fidelity Life Insurance Company. Dr. Sheppard has resigned his position as Field Superintendent, to take effect September 1 this year, and will turn his attention to the development of his school. It is said that this school will be one of the largest educational institutions in the South for co'ored Americans. No better man could have been selected than Dr. James E. Sheppard. No public man is any more respected by all classes of people than Dr. Sheppard. JUSTICE JOB BARNARD. Judge Job Barnard, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, is president of the trustee board of Howard University. There is no man upon the Supreme Court Bench who is more respected, loved and admired than this well-known jurist. Judge Barnard's decisions are seldom reversed by the Court of Appeals. He is regarded as the humanitarian of the Supreme Bench. He is always fair and just. It is a pleasure to members of the bar to practice before him. As one of the trustees of Howard University Justice Barnard never fails to do all in his power to advance the interest of that institution. AUDITOR RALPH W. TYLER. The best position that has ever been given a colored American from Ohio was given to Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus. Prior to the appointment of Mr. Tyler as auditor for the Navy Department, he was engaged in journalism. He is a writer of ability and a man who seems to have thoughts of his own. As auditor for the Navy Department he is the only colored official of this new leadership who is the master of his own office. He does not favor and toady to those under him. He acts the part of a man. Mr. Tyler is from Ohio, where white and colored citizens are known as American citizens. He does not belong to that leadership for revenue only. He has the respect and confidence of those who know him, and the courage to say no to those who attempt to oppress him. ATTORNEY L. M. KING. Mr. L. Melendez King is a native of Virginia, and is perhaps one of the best civil lawyers at the bar. Mr. King is a great legal reasoner. He is unassuming in his manner,and a hard student. He leases one of the largest business houses in the city and upon one of the principal streets, 609 F street northwest. His place of business is in the old Capital Savings Bank Building, in which some of the best-known lawyers in the city have rooms. Attorney King has purchased a handsome brick house on Thirteenth street between T and U streets northwest. Attorney King is affable in manner and a man of progressive ideas. He is frequently called out of the city to settle up estates, as well as to defend clients in criminal prosecutions. He has defended some of the most important cases, both civil and criminal, that have ever been tried in the courts in this city and elsewhere. Attorney King is also a good constitutional lawyer. HIS THIRD ANNIVERSARY. Architect W. Sidney Pittman Completes His Three Years' Experi- Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, the successful competitor for the plans on the Negro Building, Jamestown Exposition, and whose meritorious work won for him a contract for the Colored Young Men's Christian Association Building of this city, came to Washington in June just three years ago. It was not, however, until the following October that he opened his own office in an effort to establish himself among our progressive citizens. Mr. Pittman seems to have been far-sighted enough to feel with confidence that he would succeed in his peculiar chosen line of work. It must be admitted by all that the practice of architecture among our people, like all other new and untried professions, would necessarily meet with serious, but reasonable hardships and sacrifices and other [Image of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, facing slightly to the right.] disappointments. But in the face of all these obstacles this worthy young architect has steadily gone on in his way, and developed a business that unquestionably ranks with some of the leading architects of the city. At the present time he reports that his work is of such magnitude that both he and his present office force, with their combined efforts, can just barely manage to keep up by working overtime. He reports that he is now planning two churches, the new Y. M. C. A. Building (which is to cost $75,000), a small village hall, two apartment houses, and a number of residences. As we know Mr. Pittman more and more we find him to be a man who works night and day and enjoys but little recreation in the meantime. He is becoming more and more in-demand in enterprises of a more public nature. He has recently organized a corporation of ten men to build and maintain a small town hall in the suburban villageof 4 612 MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN, THE FAMOUS ARCHITECT. Fairmount Heights. As citizens of this small community this corporation of men, with Mr. Pittman as their president, has taken the main step in the way of bringing great good to their fellow citizens. The Bee has watched the career of this young architect from the beginning, and has always taken great interest in his honest endeavors. We say in the beginning that he had a set purpose and a strong determination, and congratulate him now for having maintained such a worthy status in this great community. Mr. Pittman impresses all with a spirit of honesty and a desire to do the right thing for all his clients alike, and no other proof could establish this fact better than the fact that he holds his customers and succeeds on their liberal recommendations to others. His drafting room and his reception office are still located in this city at 494 Louisiana avenue northwest. The Bee joins with many of his (Mr. Pittman's) friends in congratulating him upon the successful ending of his third anniversary in the practical world, and extends to him its best wishes for a still greater and wider field for his professional talents and ability. COL PHIL WATERS Orators are born, and not made. So are some men. There is no man in West virginia who has been able to take the oratorical crown from Col. Phil Waters. As a politician Col. Phil Waters takes the lead in his State. He has won a reputation for oratory in campaigns, in which he has been engaged for years. Colonel Waters is known by every politician in the State and is respected for his ability and political shrewdness. Col. Phil Waters is a man of a genial disposition and a royal entertainer. Wherever he is the surroundings are most pleasant. The name of Col. Phil Waters is a household word. He will be found in Chicago this month, one of West Virginia's greatest hustlers. CAPT. JAMES F. OYSTER. This is the president of the Board of Education, who is popular with the entire population. He takes a keen interest in the welfare of the public schools, and is one man who jealously supervises the wishes of the pupils and teachers. Capt. James F. Oyster is a native of Washington, and a man of the highest integrity. May he continue president of the Board of Education until the public school system is placed upon a basis that will command the admiration of the civilized world. EX-REGISTER LYONS DUCKED Mr. J. W. Lyons, who was arrested last week, was to have appeared before the Police Trial Board last week, but he sent word that he was out of town. Mr. Cassin and others who were arrested at the same time, were on hand to have the officer tried, but as Mr. Lyons did not appear the case was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Lyons had not left town at the time, but while the Board was waiting for him he was having his shoes shined at the corner of Seventh and Louisiana avenue northwest, and later he was seen walking down Four and a haf' street northwest. Will Mr. Lyons explain? He left for Chicago Wednesday, June 3. OPPORTUNITY OR DANGER. Problem of the Foreigner Becoming More Insistent. American cities are as much foreign as American. And rural New England is becoming a land of other tongues. A man of Swedish par- THE BOOKS --- ents is put forward as a candidate for the presidency on the ground that he would capture the foreign voters of the Northwest. It may soon be considered political wisdom for presidential candidates to deny that their parents were Americans, and to scatter their uncles and aunts and grandfathers and grandmothers among the tribes and togues of nations of Europe. Perhaps both Bryan and Taft would run better if their names were changed, respectively, to O'Brien and Tav. But face the fact we must, that the European stream which is pouring in upon us has changed the currents of American life. The failure fully to realize this fact is back of much of the confusion which has come over the public mind regarding many serious problems. It is also part of the weakness of religious effort that it has not grappled with the fact. In the case of Andover Theological Seminary, when it was urged that its splendid endowment and equipment might be used to meet the new situation with its pressing demands and wide opportunities, there was indifference on the part of the authorities, and they could see nothing but the old way of adding more culture to the already cultured, and letting the crude foreigners go to the agitators, the politicians, or to the bad. Some people do not seem to know that the foreigners are here until a bomb is fired in the streets, and then they rush into their studies to write an article or prepare a sermon denouncing anarchy. But the foreigner is here, and he can be made either opportunity or danger. MRS. PITTMAN SCORES A TRI UMPH. Accorded an Ovation as She Makes Her Debut Here as a Pianiste. Winning Fame in Her Own Right-Now a Member of Our Charmed Circle of Star Artists. Mrs. Portia Washington-Pittman scored an emphatic success in the occasion of her debut as a pianiste before one of Washington's most fashionable and enthusiastic audiences, in connection with a high-grade musical recital under the direction of Mr. Clarence Cameron White, at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The assemblage was all agog to see the much-heralded young lady, and she was accorded an ovation as she came forward to render her initial number. An honor pupil of Krause, of the select Berlin conservatories, and of standard instructors of Paris, much was expected of Mrs. Pittman—and the eager throng was not disappointed. From the moment her deft fingers struck the first note the most exacting critic knew that an artist was at the keys. Mrs. Pittman played with a dash and a spirit that betokened a mastery of the instrument and a thorough conception of the spiritual force of the theme she essayed to portray. She was the personification of grace in all her movements and her technique and soloratura work were suggestive of fine taste and intelligent discrimination. In Saran's "Etude de Concert" she gave convincing evidence of her power to sound the depths of pathos, as well as to touch the heights of operatic ecstasy. In her finished presentation of S. Coleridge-Taylor's "I Sometimes Feel Like a Motherless Child" she gave an interpretation of dramatic intensity, almost tragic in its fervor. She struck a lofty altitude of concerted execution in the trio with Messrs. White and Jeter, rounding out an evening in which she "came, saw and conquered" the music lovers of the Nation's Capital. Mrs. Pittman's magnificent performance more than justified the high anticipations her coming had excited, and, now that she has been so warmly welcomed and assurance given that she is to become a permanent member of the "charmed circle" of Washington's stellar artists, it is hoped she will give her admirers frequent opportunities to enjoy her superb playing. Mrs. Pittman does not need to depend upon the adventitious aid given by a distinguished ancestry to place a halo of fame about her head; she has developed a fame all her own by the intelligent application of God-given talents. Opportunity has been hers, and she has made the most of it, to the lasting glory of herself and the race she so nobly represents. Moderate. 8. EDW. CHENNUT. mf 1 2 mf ```markdown ``` To My Mother.

Mfrs., 377-379 BROADWAY, NEW YORK The anarchists of Patterson, N.J., in an article in La Questione Sociale, which goes through every State in the Union, in part synopsis states that wants everybody to be with them, everybody to have a gun, to break into the armories, seize the rifles and unition, then get possession of the police stations; also to use dynamite. Then set fire to several houses on the outskirts of the cities; also start one in the central part, which will bring out the Fire Department; and kill all the police. (Now the white people, with exceptions, claim that the Negro is the bad man of the United States. Suppose these were colored people, instead of whites, with exceptions, that were behind such movements, we would not blame them for kicking. Instead, the Negro is loyal, and in return receives the short end of the stick.) ```markdown ``` Cantabile. ```markdown ``` Maestoso. 2d time D. C. al Fine. Ahku 2 pp-2d page. REV. S. L. CORROTHERS. The Best Known Methodist Minister in the United States. District of Columbia and the feeling between the two races (with exceptions) a young colored man last Tuesday ran across into an old white man. They had a lot of words,which attracted the usual crowd. The colored man tried to explain, and the white man would not accept, and finally he called the colored man a black son of a gun. The colored man said, "Don't call me the other name or there will be a fight." The white man ceased firing, and the colored fellow mounted his wheel. As he got on and rode off another white man, well dressed, made the remark that it was a good thing he went away. This goes to show the feeling, and in the twinkling of an eye there would have been a small riot, with probably fatal results, from nothing. All parties well dressed; office people.

JUSTH'S OLD STAND. Established 1865. 619 D St. N. W. NOODLES FOR THE SOUP. Time Used for Their Preparation is Spent to Advantage. The good old-fashioned chicken noodle soup is hard to beat, if the noodles are home-made. The trouble is too many modern cooks will not take the time for the necessary rolling, without which the paste is worthless. To make them, mix two well-beaten eggs, with enough flour to make a stiff dough and knead until smooth. If a very white paste is liked, only the whites of the eggs are used. Divide the mixture into equal parts and roll each into a round ball, which is then put on a well-floured board for rolling. A glass roller by its smoothness of surface is excellent for this part of the process, as the noddles must be rolled until the cakes are almost transparent. The cutting is likewise important, the old-fashioned method of having noodles too long for graceful eating is not to be commended. Before cutting, dry off each sheet of the paste with a napkin; then divide it into halves and quarters and pile them one on top of the other so the edges are even. Cut -into narrow strips with sharp knife. The more threadlike the noodles are the better. Set them away to dry and they are ready for soup. For fancy shapes the paste may be cut with sharp tin cutters. Essential to Good Slaw. The first essential of good slaw is the cabbage itself, which must be well bleached and solid. Then it must be finely shredded and crisped by allowing it to stand in ice cold water. Before serving drain off the water, pour over the dressing and toss up lightly with a fork. The best dressing for slaw is made with the yolks of four eggs beaten smooth; add, in turn, and mixing well, two teaspoonfuls each of salt, pepper and mustard, a little cayenne, and one-fourth cupful of sweet cream. Bring three-fourths of a pint of best vinegar to the boiling point; add one cupful of butter, and stir until mixed with the vinegar; then pour over the egg mixture and beat thoroughly. Allow this to get cold before using. Simple Cleaning Process. Many of us embroider linen or lawn shirt waists, or linen center pieces and dollies, for our friends. Many of us, too, though naturally neat, will find our work solled before it is finished. But if one desires to make up the material or give it to a friend without washing, it may be made perfectly clean by sprinkling thickly with French chalk and rolling up for a few days. The chalk may then be easily shaken out, and an immaculate gift presented without destroying the original finish of the fabric. I know from experience that this is as efflous as it is simple.—Harper's Bazar. Bolled Liver En Brochette. Cut bacon and slices of liver into pieces of the same length and width. Run a wooden skewer or stout straw through each piece of liver and alternately through a slice of bacon. Proceed in this way until each slice of bacon is fastened to a slice of liver, and each skewer is full. Lay on a broiler and broll over a clear fire. Camels hair and red sable brushes which have become out of shape or curled often are discarded as worthless. Dip in boiling hot water and the hair will resume its original shape. Dip afterward in cold water To clean white ribbons wash them in gasoline and they will not turn yellow. Renovate Brushes.
