```markdown ``` VOL. 29 NO 2 ADVISES A BOLT COMMENDS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO COLORED VOTERS. ADVICE AWAKENS APPLAUSE Former Senator, in Address at Galbraith Church, Declares Republican Party Has Robbed Colored ...Man of His Rights — Not Question As to Who President Will Be, but of Principles, He Asserts. Former Senator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, in an address before the members of the Galbraith A. M. E. Church last Monday night, urged Negroes to vote against Secretary Taft for president, and he suggested they might obtain better results if they supported the Democratic party. He also urged the Negroes to demand that the Republican party insert a plank in their platform for the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The Senator's remarks were vigorously applauded. When he referred to indignities he alleged the Republican party had heaped on the Negroes of the South, he was applauded to the echo. Men and women waved handkerchiefs, and it was several minutes before order was restored. Colored Ministers Give Talks. Former Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, also was scheduled for an address, but he failed to appear. Several colored ministers spoke on the political situation. "I want to tell you colored men and women," said Senator Chandler, "that the oppression of the Negro in the South is due to the fact that members of your own race have persistently supported the Republican party. Now, would not the Democratic party feel more kindly toward the Negro if he were to vote the Democratic ticket? "A crisis has been reached in the history of the country. Colored voters should take immediate steps to protect their interests. Secretary Taft's attitude on the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution,which insures your birthrights, is well known to everyone, and to support him for president means you will be standing in your own path. This amendment has not been enforced by the Republican party. Heretofore Negro voters of the country have asked few favors of the Republican party, but the time has now arrived for them to demand this amendment be vigorously enforce. Rights Declared Lost. "In former days Negroes enjoyed two privileges, namely, the right to attend Republican caucuses and conventions on terms of equality with their white brothers, and of enlisting in the United States Army. An effort is now being made by the Republican party to deprive you of these privileges. "If the Brownsville affair had involved white, instead of black, soldiers the matter never would have resulted as it did. Had the companies consisted of white soldiers, and it was deemed necessary to discharge them, I venture to say they would long since have been reinstated. "The only reason Frank Hitchcock permitted colored Southern delegates to go to the convention was because Northerners made a howl. Had there been no voice raised in the Nortn against disbarment there would have been no Negro delegates at the National Convention. Personally, I recognize political equality among the Negroes and white voters. Senator Shandler closed his remarks by saying: "It is not so much who will be the next president, but what shall be the principles of the Republican party." RECORDER DANCY Delivers Commencement Address at Clarksville, W. Va.—Graduating Exercises Are of a Pleasing Character. From Daily Telegram For brilliant execution and exhibition of capability the program rendered at the graduation exercises of the colored school Monday night measured up to a very high standard. All the vast assemblage was infinitely pleased, and pronounced the not heed. Dr. D. P. Morgan, president of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas in a few well chosen words, and Superintendent F. L. Burdette, in like manner, presented the Cohen prize for highest efficiency in the graduating class, Miss Estella Hettie Walker being the recipient. Dr. Pryor presented the teachers with gifts in token of their services during the year in the school work. The class sang the class song, a duet followed, and then the benediction by the Rev. G. T.

Sunday, June 14. $1.00 Harpers Ferry and Martinsburg and return. $1.35 Berkeley Springs and return. $2.00 Cumberland and return. Special train leaves Washington at 8.15 a.m. program a complete success. The evening proved one of inestimable profit in instruction and inspiration for thought and action to everyone present. There were many features of more than ordinary moment, and none listened but to be deeply impressed with the advancement made by the race in less than half a century, and none was present who did not appreciate the excellency of the execution of the various numbers and the splendid magnitude of the training and instruction that had been given at the school. A crowded hall saw the class ushered in, together with a number of other young men and young ladies, members of the school, and the program opened with the chorus "The Voice of the Woods," sung only as souls can sing. Hon. John C. Dancy, of Washington, D. C., Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, an eminent member of his race, delivered the commencement address having for his subject "Some Things That Make for Greatness." Dr. Dancy is an orator of fine ability and a thinker of profound mind, as well as a historian of vast knowledge, all of which he freely used to the edification and instruction of his audience on this occasion. The address was replete with learning, eloquence, wit and humor, which entertained, instructed and elevated his auditors. Space forbids a full report of the text of his address, but even a brief review of it convinces every reader that it was a masterpiece and all those who did not have the pleasure of hearing it missed something it would have been well worth their while to hear, something those who did hear it are glad they did not miss hearing. After congratualting the class upon the excellency of its part of the exercises and expressing great pleasure over his privilege to visit such a thriving inland city as Clarksburg, Dr. Dancy discussed ably the spirit to do things as one of the essentials to obtain success, and with this must be pluck, determination, and energy in every line undertaken, how humble or how high Grasping opportunities when they first are seen was advised by him, as opportunities.taken advantage of produce greater results.' He cleverly illustrated this by the allusion to the founder of Clarksburg, who saw in the distant past an opportunity to start a city such as Clarksburg has become since, thru the fact that others joined the founder and others joined them, and still others them, and so on until the present. Another illustration was the independent thought of Christopher Columbus when he started out from the old world to find a new route to the East Indies, and thereby discovered a new continent with the West Indies on it. Here he discussed intellect and men's being taught to think, the latter being an essential to develop the former, and made the broad declaration that independent thinking in America had made it the greatest world power. The inventions of the age, said he, are all the result of independent thinking, and as such men think the world grows stronger and better. Dr. Dancy dwelt upon punctuality, perseverance, individuality, adaptability, integrity, singleness of purpose, responsibility and, with his own race especially, the soul element as essential to the greatness of life, and these all had their smaller parts which must be taken into consideration and developed to make a perfect and successful whole. The speaker then reviewed briefly, but convincingly, the marvelous progress of his race in the last forty years or a little over, at the beginning of which there were some who said the race could not start upward, but who were now saying it will never stop, and he held out great encouragement to all the members of the race within hearing to take new courage and push onward and upward. Such an address is an inspiration to one and all to do greater and better things and to live nobly — an address that fell not upon ears that did not listen and hearts that will WILLIAM B.

Sidney Pittman, the well- known architect, was elected president of the local Negro Business League at a regular meeting held by that organization last Friday evening at True Reformers' Hall. Twenty-five delegates to the National Business League to be held in Baltimore, Md., were also elected. The list of officers and delegates and all other business transacted by the League will appear in full next week; also a full list of committees. The very first act of the League will be to erect an auditorium and have a department store connected with it. It will be the greatest monument that has ever been erected by the colored people. A large crowd heard Dr. S. P. W. Drew last Sunday. He preached a wonderful sermon at 11 a.m.; subject, "The Supreme Ambition in Life," after which he baptized several persons and celebrated the Lord's Supper and extended the hand of fellowship to several new members. HOWARD'S INFLUENCE UNIVERSAL "The Fair Play," a sprightly journal published at Parkersburg, West Virginia, by Mr. B. S. Jackson, a graduate of the law department of Howard University, says: "Howard University has just closed a banner year. She is easily the greatest Negro University in the world, and takes her rank among the best schools in the country. A degree from Howard is recognized by Cornell, Michigan, Yale, Pennsylvania and Harvard. She has ten departments, more than a thousand students, and a small army of professors and instructors. Almost every Negro of any prominence has at some time been a student of Howard and has felt her refining influences. A partial list follows of the States and countries represented in her student-body: every State in the Union, Africa, Greece, West Indies, Hawaii, China, Japan, Korea, and England." We may add, the prestige this magnificent school enjoys today is due in the largest measure to the industry, tact, broad-gauged policies and lofty Christian spirit of her universally popular president, Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield. He came at a crucial period in the life of the university, and his consecrated labors have been crowned with a success that has gratified every friend of education, regardless of type of education or the color or race of the beneficiaries thereof. WILL TAFT BE NOMINATED? From "The Advocate,"Portland,Ore. The Chicago Conservator, New York Age, Washington Bee, and some more of the subsidized race journals have come to the conclusion that Taft will be nominated on the first ballot, and that it is simply ridiculous to assume anything to the contrary. They pretend to be so cock-sure of their contention that they are advising their brother Afro-American delegates to the National Convention that for them to vote for any other candidate for the presidency would be political suicide, to say the least, and that the part of wisdom is for all to join hands and make the nomination of Mr. Taft unanimous. This same kind of talk was indulged in in 1880 when 304 delegates from States whose electoral votes were essential to the Republican party's success, declared with all the vigor that they could command that Grant would be nominated, and that it was folly to vote against him. This talk was made again in 1892, when we were told that Benjamin Harrison would be nominated with ease, and that it was folly to vote against him. The Ohio delegation stood by McKinley, but Harrison was nominated, but was defeated. It's an awfully bad thing for the Admiinstration to force the nomination of their candidate upon the people when they do not want him. This is exactly the case of Mr. Taft. In the breach of promise case of Annie L. Manley (colored), of Boston, Mass., against Prof. P. E. Belknap-Marcou (white), formerly a Harvard professor, damages to the plaintiff was refused.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS PARAGRAPHIC NEWS If the people who feel that they are being denied their rights would go in their "closets" and pray, instead of so much public fasting and praying, the Lord would "reward them openly."

Hannibal, Mo., Where Place Stood, Unconscious of Its Greatness— Anecdote of House and of the Two Mark Twalns. Hannibal, Mo.—Huckleberry Finn's ancient habitation in North Hannibal, near the river front, has passed from the earth. Since Hannibal has admitted that Mark Twain was really a great man it has taken particular pride in the "hoary-headed" domicile and the revenue derived from postcards showing the structure would have built a much better house. R. H. Coons, the owner of the property, recently had the "Huck" Finn home torn down to erect a row of modern flats, which will have, it is hoped, a livening effect on the somewhat dreamy district of North Hannibal. A characteristic story is told in connection with the house. One summer day a gentleman from the east came to Hannibal to secure data for a Mark Twain story. He could find Holliday hill easily enough without a guide, because it towered up to the sky on the north end, and prevented the town's further extension unless the good ottizens take a notion to tunnel. An ice man was asked for the direction to Huck Finn's cottage. "Never-heard of him," said the native. "He sure don't live in these parts." The stranger went west a block and accosted a boy with a fishing rod on his shoulder. "He don't run with our crowd," he said. "Maybe he lives down by the bridge." "I'm not looking for Huck Finn himself," said the visitor. "He's dead, but—" "Then you might try the graveyard," replied the boy. "It's up yonder—the stones is marked, I reckon." Presently a citizen came along who could furnish the information. Huck's home was only two blocks from where the ice man said "he didn't live in those parts." In the basement door stood a black "aunty," with her hands resting on her hips. She wore a tricolored handkerchief on her head. "I knows," she said; "you's one o' dem relicky hunters." "I'm engaged in gathering some material in reference to Mark Twain." House Where Huckleberry Finn Once Lived. said the easterner, pleasantly, "and as this is—" "Well, you' needn't go no furder," said the big aunty hospitably. "He's right heah." "Who's here?" . . . "To be sho!." "What's he doing here?" asked the surprised visitor. "Ah doan' know, but yo' kin cum in an' see." She led the way to another underground apartment, and, with pride, pointed to something on a pallet. The stranger's eyes, gradually becoming accustomed to the semi-light, distinguished an infant pickanniny busily endeavoring to swallow its glossy arm. As the two came and stood by the bed it suspended operations and thoughtfully regarded them out of two big white eyes. "Quite a baby," said the guest. "Flow'd you come to call it Mark Twain?" "Da tole me if Ah did that, Mistah Sam Clemens, not used to lib heah, would sen 'im sumthin' nice." "Did he?" "Ab reckon Mistah Clemens that' hit was nice," she said, doubtfully; "he sent 'im a raazer an' a lookin' glass." "Mr. Clemens was grateful?" "Mebbe so. And he writted to my ole man sayin' if the raazer did what he expected he'd be pleased to sen' a tombstone fer't baby." "Mason and Dixon's Line." "Mason and Dixon's line" is a reference to a boundary which was established in the years intervening from 1763 to 1767, between the colonies of Maryland and Virginia on the one side, and that of Pennsylvania on the other side, by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who were two English civil engineers. So thoroughly was the allotted task performed by these young, Englishmen that an 1849 revision of the survey failed to detect the slightest error. The United States government also, as recently as 1901, has caused the Maryland portion of the noted boundary line to be again revised. True American Spirit. Within two years since the great earthquake which undid San Francisco, that heroic city has put $100,000,000 into building operations, of which, according to trustworthy statements, all but $4,000,000 came from local sources. Public Debt Has No Terrors. The municipality of Vienna has a public debt of exceptional magnitude, which it now proposes to increase by the purchase of coal mines in Moravia. CHICKEN IN NEW STYLES. Try the Fowl Stewed with Cocoanut or with Dough. Chicken with Cocoanut.—Stew a chicken and remove the bones. Grate a cocoanut and cover it with water for ten minutes; strain it and add more water. This again should be strained through a bag of coarse cheesecloth, and the rich liquor resulting—about a plint—added to the chicken. Cook slowly a few minutes and thicken with two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed smoothly in cold water, one-half teaspoonful salt, and three teaspoonfuls of tumeric powder. Let all cook up with the chicken, then lay it on a platter surrounded by boiled rice and covered partly with gravy. Chicken Stewed with Dough.—Another method is to mix spices, raisins, salt and butter through some partly boiled rice, and with it dress the chicken, then wrap it in dough rolled pretty thick and boll it in a cloth, not too tight, for half a day. East Indian Pillau of Fowl.—For this is required one chicken, dressed as for boiling, and three cups of rice. Put the fowl in a stewpan with one and a half pints of broth and some spices tied in a bit of muslin. These spices may consist of two cloves, a wide stick of cinnamon, two dozen cardamons, and one half teaspoonful each of coriander seed, mace, and allspice—quantity and combination regulated to taste. Cook these with the fowl 20 minutes slowly. Place one-quarter of a pound of butter in a frying pan with one sliced onion, one dozen raisins, and some blanched almonds; fry till brown and strain. In the butter remaining fry the rice until brown Strain off the butter, and by degrees add the broth until the rice is tender, then put it with the chicken and cook until it is nearly dry. Remove the spices and serve the fowl smothered in the rice, garnishing with the fried raisins and almonds, and, if liked, some hard boiled eggs and crisp slices of bacon. TWO RECIPES FOR EGGS. Beauregard and Japanese Are Both Recommended Diahes. Beauregard Eggs.—Hard boil five eggs. Remove the shells; separate the whites from the yolks. Put the yolks through a sieve; chop the whites fine or put them through a vegetable press. Rub a tablespoon of butter and one of flour together; add half a pint of milk and stir until boiling; add half a teaspoonful of salt, a salt-spoon of pepper, and the whites of the eggs. Stand this over hot water while you toast five slices of bread. Arrange them neatly on a platter. Pour over the white mixture, dust over this the yolks and a little salt and pepper. Stand a moment at the oven door and after the yolks are warm send to the table. Japanese Eggs.—Hard boll six eggs and boll carefully one cup of washed rice. When the rice is done drain in a colander and stand in the oven to dry. Remove the shells and cut the eggs into halves crosswise; take out the yolks; rub thin, adding gradually four boneless sardines, half a teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter or olive oil. Roll the mixture into balls and put into the space from which the yolks are taken. Take off a little of the convex end of the whites so that they will stand. Put the rice in the center of a platter, making it flat, like a little plateau. Stand the eggs down in the rice; pour over them half a pint of cream or tomato sauce and serve. That Old Ham Bone This need not be thrown away just because you have taken off all the slices. When you cannot get any more (apparently) scrape every vestige of lean and fat from the bone. Chop fine and put in a baking dish. Add a layer of bread crumbs, then another layer of the meat, and so on, until all is used. Pour over it a little water and set in oven till nicely browned. Even the bone itself need not be thrown away. Crack well and let simmer for three hours. Add some rice, a clove or two, a few celery leaves (dried or fresh), and any vegetables, raw or cooked, that you happen to have in the pantry. So the ham will have done yet another faithful service, for the combination of the savory soup, and the delicate baked ham, will make an appetizing and wholesome dinner. Sheep's Tongue with Spinach. Take six sheep's tongues, blanch them for five minutes to enable the white skin to be removed, then trim and put them in a frying pan with about a pint of broth of consomme (which can be bought in tins), one bay leaf, a little thyme, salt and pepper. Set the frying pan over the fire until it comes to the boiling point, then let it simmer until the tongues are well cooked and gazed, take them out, cut them lengthwise in halves and return them to the frying pan. Meanwhile dish some spinach, place the pieces of tongue over the spinach, pour the gravy over and serve immediately. Put Pineapple Through Chopper. Slice and Lare Pineapples, then put them through a meat chopper. Save the hard center and put through last. Save the juice and no water will be needed. It is much easier than cutting pineapple with a knife. Mint Sauce. Take three tablespoonfuls of freshly gathered mint, chopped fine; dissolve two tablespoonfuls of sugar in three tablespoonfuls of vinegar; mix all together. Serve in sauce boat. ON BUSINESS BASIS ON BUSINESS BASIS WISDOM OF KEEPING KITCHEN ACCOUNT BOOK. With Absolute Knowledge of Running Expenses Economy Is Made Easy —Hired Help Always Prone to Extravagance. The head of the household sometimes concludes that it costs too much to live, and when he makes this decision nothing commands his respect like an account book wherein balances are made without accommodating "sundries." In fact going to market and keeping household accounts are the housekeeper's weapons of self-defense against the charge of extravagance, writes Alice E. Whitaker. It is comparatively easy to account for rent, fuel, light and wages, and even the larger bills for clothing can be fairly well itemized from receipted bills and memory. Therefore the most common point of attack is the food supply. The mistress of the household may insist that nothing is wasted and that the family would not be satisfied with cheaper food, but unless she can keep an account book she has nothing to prove that she could not have spent less for food material. A housekeeper frequently says to herself: "It seems to me that we are buying butter every other day," or "I'm sure that we are using a dozen eggs a day." If she has an account book she can prove the truth of her surmises or otherwise. One housekeeper annoyed at the recurring calls for coffee and butter for her family or three sat down to her account book and in five minutes found that six pounds of coffee and ten pounds of butter had been used during the previous month. She immediately cut two pounds from the future coffee supply and cautioned against extravagance in butter. Another way of saving is buying in small amounts. Our grandmothers extolled the plan of buying in a wholesale way because wholesale prices are less than retail, but our grandmothers had a constant oversight over the use of both groceries and provisions, and this is now frequently impossible. In most kitchens to-day everything that is brought in will be cooked by the servants at one time and the surplus thrown away. Therefore if a pound of 30-cent steak is enough it is wasteful to buy $1\frac{1}{2}$ pound, or a quart of oysters when a pint will be sufficient, under the delusion that the left overs will be used to advantage. It is wise to dispense with the order clerk at the door, and especially with liberty given to servants to order as they please. Often from ignorance, and as often from mere lack of interest, they order needless things. Go to the grocery stores and markets, see what you can buy, and how much it costs. This means a little effort, but it soon becomes a habit and a pleasure. Many housekeepers will testify that it is not so hard to think what to buy when in the presence of the various good things, some of which on that particular morning can be bought at an advantage. It is not unlikely that there will be a premeditated block to this system of looking closely after the table supplies, and in the middle of the afternoon the cook may announce that she has no baking powder or that she must have some more eggs. Then is the time to be firm and to change the menu, or, if anything be imperative, to go for it yourself. After a time it will be understood that there is to be no more reckless and indiscriminate ordering. To Renovate Furniture. There are many ways of renovating old furniture, but one of the best methods is the alternate use of sandpaper and varnish. First remove every particle of dust, dirt and old cracked varnish from the piece of furniture to be treated, getting right down to the bare wood. To aid in this work a cabinet scraper or glass will be necessary and a bottle of wood alcohol to soften the varnish. After the varnish is removed, sandpaper the wood to a smooth surface. At least four coats of finishing varnish will be required, and after each has become thoroughly dry rub lightly with fine sandpaper. After the last coat of varnish has dried for two days rub boiled linseed oil on the treated surfaces with a soft cloth.—Country Life in America. Bake Meat in Tissue Paper. For roasting mutton, veal or turkey prepare the usual way with pepper and salt, then spread a thin layer of butter over the top and sides and wrap in a double thickness of tissue paper and roast in a double roasting pan. Put a cupful of water in bottom of pan and keep adding as it bolls away. Do not turn meat or stick a fork into it. It needs no basting. Meat prepared in this way will be a beautiful brown color, tender, and most palatable. Pudding 'Sauce. To make the sauce beat together one tablespoonful cornstarch, two tablespoonfuls of butter and one-half cup of brown sugar. Set on the store until heated, then turn in hot water, a little at a time, and cook until the consistency required. Add four tablespoonfuls grape or apple jelly, with spices or flavoring to taste, and serve hot. Remove Kerosene from Carpet. Take buckwheat flour and apply to spots on carpet. Let it remain for a few hours, and by the second application you will find your carpet free from any spots. NEW NORWEGIAM MINISTER. Ove Guide to Represent His Country at Washington.

Norway. Minister Gude was a widower when he went to Copenhagen: There he met and married the daughter of the famous Danish soldier, Gen. de Stiernholm, who was chief of the Danish general staff in the war between Denmark and Germany in 1864. 'Mme. Gude, who is much younger than her husband, is an accomplished violinist. Minister Gude has two daughters, 16 and 17 years old, by his first marriage, and these will soon join him in Washington. QUEEN HAS UNIQUE BUNGALOW. Gothic Door of Alexandra's Residence Is Half of a Rowboat. London.—Queen Alexandra has a unique bungalow. It is in Norfolk down by the beach of Snettisham, a quaint watering place of 15,000 people. The beach, a favorite with the queen, is crowded in the summer season with holidaymakers, tourists and others. The Gothic door or main entrance to the bungalow is nothing else than a rowboat cut in half. The outer walls are of bright yellow cast stones brought from the Snettisham pits and THE CHURCH Queen's Bungalow Built of Coastwise Material. the blocks are laid in the rough with numerous projections. There are two main rooms, one for the queen and another for the attendants, and between them is a small jobby which also gives access to the office. Around the queen's apartment runs a five-foot high dado of dark stained vertical boards and above the cemented walls are incrusted with stones of various hues and mussel, cockle and other shells from the beach. According to statistics just issued the male inhabitants of St. Petersburg outnumber the female by 124,000.

Those advocating the change Insist that It will be very profitable to Tam- many. There has been recently a great demand for the property on which Tammany hall, Pastor's theater and the Academy of Music stand as sites for modern buildings. If Tam- many moves, Pastor's theater, owned by the'soclety, would have to go also, and It Is regarded as certain that the entire block fronting on East Four- teenth street would be purchased and modern buildings erected upon it. ‘The main inducement te the chango 1s that Tammany hall s no longer centrally located. A site’ not lower than Thirty-fifth street and perhaps even north of Forty-second street, is desired. The existing bullding has been the home of Tammany since 1868, when the organization moved from its old quarters where fs now the New York Sun building.

From this office he was trans- ferred to the war department, where he remained five years.

Kansas City, Mb.—Probably the oddest habltation in Missourl 1s the piano box home cf Franz Mendel, an aged German resident of St Louis county.

The entire outside of the “house” ts covered with sheets of asLes‘zs payer, and the tor or “roof” has an additional covering of tar paper. The slanting porticn of the box is hinged to the stra.at see tion, forming a sort of horizonts! door, and the joint thus made {s covered wh petgs = ON tee AER a gaye ~N csc ae oe ae Ne oe AS qe ps hs —F a ¢ SEES 5 EE ~~ eee 7 The Piano Box Home. with a double’ thickness of asbestos fand tar paper to prevent any rain or snow from entering the box. The Interlor walls are covered with stout wrapping paper, and the whole structure is absolutely impervious to dampness. A shelf runs across the side which would be the bottom of the plano and this shelf {s well padded with quilts and blankets and forms a very comfortable bed for the occupant. Another and smaller shelf near the front serves as a cupboard for a stock | of provisions. The stove, cooking utensils and water barrel are outside, and the place has the appearance of temporary camp of some “kulght of the road.” Mendel owns the land upon which the plano box stands and this tiny house {s all the home he has. A four-room cottage formerly stood on this land and the old man lived very | comfortably before the accident which j destroyed It. Tramps broke into his cottage one night while Mendel was in Bt. Louls |9n a visit to his daughter, and accl- dentally set fire to the place. When | the owner returned the next morning | he found his home in ashes. Being too poor to build another house and un- willing to lve anywhere else, he bought the plano box and set {t up on the site of his former home, and has since lived in it as snug as a bug in a Tug. His neighbors feared that he would suffer during the winter, but he declares that he was as comforta- ble all the time as he ever was in the old cottage, and the only thing he lacks {s room to walk about under shelter when it rains, In bad weather he ts compelled to spend the time on his bunk or be exposed to the weather outside his queer house. Mendel fs 83 years old, but vigorous and active. He chops his own fire- wood, carries water every day from the brook about 200 yards away, and does all the work around bis “place” as well as a much younger man could do it. His daughter has repeatedly tried to Induce him to abandon his uncom- fortable quarters and live with her, but he prefers the country and its discomforts to anything the elty could offer him, he declares. His unique house fs one of the sights of the north and south road, and mo- torists and other travelers along that road often stop and call upon him and learn all about his remarkable way of living, He 4s always very courteous to visitors, but will accept nothing in the way of a present from them ex- cept an occasional clgar or pouch of tobacco.

This boat ts amphibious In the literal meaning of that word, being equally serviceable on tand or water and tray- eling as a boat or as an automobile.

Though new to the United States this queer craft has been tn use for ten years or more in Canada and there are now §0 cf the same type belng operated In the lumber regions of the northwest. The type 1g called “alll- gator,” because of its pecullar crawl {ng motion, its ungainliness and ite ability to travel both on land or wa- ter. The motive power {s In the boat itself. The “allizator™ {s a steamboat and a steam winch combined.

A screw on the front end enables the fireman to tip it forward or backward according to whether the boat fs going up or down hill. The craft will take a grade of one foot in three without dimculty. The boat can make between one and two miles a day of land, but travels considerably faster on water. ‘The hull, which 1s scow shaped, measures 45 feet in length and 11 feet beam, and carries a 22-horse power, boiler and a 20-horse power engine, ‘The deckhousé is fitted with sleeping accommodations.

One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months ......50 Subscription monthly .....20 IS MR. HORNER A REPUBLICAN? The above interrogative caption is pertinent just at his time, in view of some transactions that have taken place which have all the ear-marks of mystery; to say the least. It will be recalled that Mr. R. R. was selected as the colored delegate to the Republican National Convention. Note that we say "selected," placing especial emphasis on it. The election was a farce, as every resident in the District knows. The election was but the ratification of an arrangement previously made, and that arrangement included the withdrawal of the Burk-Patterson ticket, which entered the contest with much eclat under circumstances which, to say the least, possessed some features of legerdemain. But, lest we forget,let it be stated that Mr. Horner was selected (and we repeat the word "selected") under the presumption that he was a Republican. He may be. The Bee does not deny that he is. Mr. Horner best knows his own predilections. But it is said, and we presume it can be substantiated, that under the Cleveland administration Mr. Horner filed his application for the office of Minister to Liberia. Now, it is not presumed that Mr. Horner would apply for a position under the Democrats if he did not feel satisfied that he was a Bourbon Democrat. Mr. Horner is too consistent to attempt to deceive the Democratic party. But, on April 3, 1908, just a few days prior to the alleged election at which Mr. Horner was "selected" a delegate to the Republican National Convention, his application, and all papers purporting his application were withdrawn from the State Department. Now, did Mr. Horner withdraw them himself? And if so, for what reason? It can hardly be ex- "The Moon Queen" was given a second presentation Tuesday evening at True Reformers' Hall, under the direction of Mrs. Madge DyerWhite, with a large audience in attendance. The fifty or more children played their parts in flawless style, and Master Merrill Curtis again carried off the lion's share of the honors. His feature consisted of several character songs from "Follies of 1907," and so realistic were his impersonations that he was compelled to respond to repeated encores. Mrs. White has been asked by the Woman's Guild of St. Luke's Church, for the benefit of which the operetta was given, to present it again early in the fall. Audtior Ralph W. Tyler, accompanied by Mrs. Tyler, left Wednesday for Chicago, which destination they will reach by easy stages. They will visit their home in Columbus, and then join Mr. and Mrs. George A. Myers at Cleveland. Apartments have been reserved at the Palmer House for the party. Auditor Tyler will be "at home" to the visiting delegates at the Keystone through the convention season.

Dancy left for Chicago, Ill., last Thursday. The local doctors are making elaborate preparations to attend the next session of the National Medical Association, which meets in New York the latter part of August. President W. H. Wright has been in correspondence with Drs. A. M. Curtis, C. W. Childs, M. O. Dumas, J. R. francis, Amanda V. Gray, C. Sumner Wormley and others, and has received assurances that the Washington delegation this year will be the largest and most representative that has yet attended a session of the National Medical Association. Dr. P. A. Johnson, of New York, is said to be a reigning favorite for the next presidency. The National Benefit Association, of which the energetic Mr. S. W. Rutherford is secretary and manager, held an interesting meeting on Monday evening in its rooms, at 609 F street northwest. A lecture of fine quality on "The Value of Negro Organizations" was delivered by Prof. J. B. Watson, second vice president of the Association. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York, passed through the city last week, en route for his home, after an extensive tour of Virginia, where he had been delivering a number of commencement addresses. Elijah Reynolds, a Washington boy, now stationed in the Philippines, and acknowledged to be one of the best-drilled men in the service, has been promoted from quarter-master-sergeant to first sergeant of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Miss Bertie Swann, of 1427 Pierce Place northwest, goes to AtlanticCity this week to spend the summer. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, recently elected secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union by the Norfolk Conference, has been in Nashville for a fortnight, looking over the situation, preparatory to assuming charge of his new work. Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis will attend the commencement exercises of Williston College, at Williston Mass., on the 18th, to witness the graduation of their son, Mr. Arthur L. Curtis. Young Curtis has won honors during his school term and is much loved by his associates. Mr. T. J. Galloway accompanied the Liberian Envoys to Tuskegee Institute last week. The program for the Chicago Convention embraces Senator Burrows for temporary chairman; Senator Lodge as permanent presiding officer; Senator Hopkins for chairman of the committee on resolutions; and a colored spellbinder is to second the nomination of Secretary Taft. The other candidates for the presidency will also have able colored men on the ground who can be depended upon to strew oratorical bouquets of appropriate size in the pathway of their respective chieftains. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler is the first of the local "cabinet" to leave for Chicago. He will have headquarters at the Keystone, where he will keep "open house" for "the boys." Mr. Thomas H. Johnson, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. LillianSterrett Johnson, of New Albany, Ind., stopped over several days en route homeward from the Zion General Conference at Philadelphia,and spent a pleasant time with Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, of 1348 Wallach Place. President Roosevelt was well pleased with the visit of Messrs. R. W. Tyler, Robert H. Terrell and J. A. Cobb, who waited on him last week to urge the veto of the bill to remove the restrictions from the sale of the homestead lands of the Negro-Indians of Oklahoma. They feared the proposed elimination of the clause forbidding the sale of these homesteads would place the ignorant Negro land-holders at the mercy of a lot of sharks who are anxious to get possession of them for a "song." The interview was of a most cordial nature, and the President was pleased that the race's accredited leaders took such an active and thoughtful interest in their less fortunate brethren. While it was evident that President Roosevelt shared the feeling of his visitors, the pressure in favor of the measure was so great from sources that could not be discredited without tangible evidence, that he was finally constrained to affix his signature to the bill. Recorder John C. Dancy was the commencement orator at Lincoln University, delivering a telling address on his favorite theme, "Dr. Joseph C. Price." This week Mr. Dancy is speaking for the Colored High School at Clarksburg, West Virginia. Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, now a full-fledged citizen of New York, was in town the early portion of the week. He is preparing to make "the speeches of his life" in the coming campaign and is on his way to Chicago to gain inspiration. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler's address to the graduating class of trained nurses of Freedmen's Hospital, Howard University,was a scholarly effort. It was a graphic portrayal of the influence of woman, and told of the value of the trained nurse to afflicted humanity, and of her vital influence upon the moral and physical well-being of society. There was wit and humor and sound philosophy in the able address, and every point struck home.' Thirteen young women received diplomas at the hands of President Thirkield, and the choir covered itself with glory. Miss Lulu Calders is accomplishing wonders through this talented band of young musicians. Mrs. John P. Smith, of Charlotte, N. C., arrived in the city on the 27th ult., to attend the commencement exercises of Howard University as the guest of his brother, Mr. L. J. Umstead, who was graduated from the law department.

Taylor, of the class of '07, will leave for Oklahoma in a few days to begin his practice of the law. Mr. James M. Harrison, of the class of '08, has received a number of very flattering offers by prominent attorneys and friends in his home city, Norfolk, some of which he is seriously considering. Many of the graduates have left the city for their respective homes, and most of them will begin to practice in the fall. Mr. R. G. L. Paige, '08, will return to his home in Berkley, Va., where he intends to practice law, and one of his first efforts will be that of attempting to secure for the colored youth of his city a better system of public schools. Mr. John H. Smith, of Charlotte, N. C., is in the city. Mr. P. J. C. Randall, '08, left this week for Norfolk, to attend the wedding of his brother, which takes place there this week. Dr. Thomas A. Jones, M.D., '07, is visiting in Columbia, S. C., and will take the State Board there soon. Dr. Jones passed the Pennsylvania Board in October, '07. Mr. Frank E. Smith, a graduate of Hampton Institute, and a merchant tailor of Charlotte, N. C., and his little sister, Miss Susie Ethel Smith, arrived in the city today to join their mother, Mrs.John P.Smith, as guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Umstead, 1222 Kirby street northwest. Mr. Smith is a very young man, and conducts one of the finest merchant tailoring establishments in Charlotte. Before returning home he will go to New York city to purchase goods. Messrs. William A. Bailey, L. D. Kane, M. P. Oldham and C. E. Corbett, of the class of '08, are contemplating starting a joint stock company in Nebraska. Mr. Ocea Taylor, LL.B., '08, will remain in the city for the summer. Mr. Taylor is a clerk in the Coast and Geodetic Survey of the United States. Prof. William H.

A COTILLON. Friday evening, May 29, Mr. Alfred Chapman gave, at the residence of Mrs. Sampson, 1512 L street n.w., a beatauiful cotillon to his chosen friends. The spacious double parlors, decorated with palms and flowers, resembled a midsummer flower garden. Several merry maidens capered to the strains of the "Merry Widow" waltz; and several other selections played by Professor Braxton. The ladies were handsomely gowned in the latest spring attire. The cotillon was led by Mr. and Mrs. James Coleman. At prompt midnight the guests retired to the dining room, where full justice was done to the bountiful repast awaiting there. Music was furnished by Professor Braxton. Among those present were the Misses Betarix and Rose Smith, Mamie Wade, Brooks, Myers, Steuart and Colbert, Mrs. James Coleman and Mrs. Wooden, Messrs.

LEE — FEARING. Under a canopy of palms, ferns and festoons of roses, and in the midst of a host of friends, the marriage ceremony of Miss Carrie E. Lee and Mr. Charles Henrich Fearing was solemnized by Rev Francis J. Grimke, of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, qn Wednesday last at eight o'clock. The bride's gown was of chiffon satin made in princess style, and trimmed with duchesse lace, over which the meshes of her tulle veil fell in, graceful folds, which were held in place by orange blossoms and lilies of the valley. As the wedding procession entered the parlor to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, played by Miss Abbie Williams, and sung by Miss Mamie Simons it was led by little Alice Silence, who acted as flower girl. The maid of honor was Miss Jennie Waring, of Baltimore, who was becomingly gowned in lavender and carried a bouquet of tea roses. Miss Jessie Parks, who wore pink chiffon and carried a bouquet of La France roses; Miss Essie Fearing, pale blue chiffon, and carried La France roses; Miss Effie Simmons was attired in yellow chiffon, and carried tea roses. The bride's mother,Mrs. Annie Silence, wore a black net princess robe. The groom wore the conventional black suit; his best man being Mr. C. E. Cormick, and the George Butcher, S. Tarlton Amphion, Glen and Benjamin Washington. The presents were numerous and costly, being received from all parts of the country. Among them we noticed a large table covered with cut glass, one containing silver, and another filled with bric-a-brac; music cabinets, chairs, rugs, linens, a mileage ticket, two hundred dollars, and a silver casket from her father. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Isbell, of 325 T street, entertained a number of friends last Monday evening, in honor of Mrs. Paige and her son, R. G. L. Paige, of Berkley, Virginia. Mr. Paige graduated from the Law Department of Howard University last week, and his mother came on to witness the graduation. The evening was made most agreeable by the host and hostess. Splendid music was furnished by Miss Bowling, a violinist; Miss Beatriz L. Chase, pianist and accompanist, and W. Calvin Chase, Jr., cornetist. Mrs. Ethel Johnson, daughter of the host and hostess, rendered many beautiful piano selections. In addition to those already mentioned were: Mrs. Dr. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Arabella V. Chase, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Bowling and others. At eleven o'clock all were invited to the dining rom, where a table laden with the choicest refreshments had been spread.

Chief Point in Soup Declared to Be In Preparation. No matter how plain and simple a dinner may be soup adds to it. Poor soup is often served because too little attention is paid to it. First of all there must be good material to start with. Cold water should always be used where meat is cooked in order to draw out the juice. Salt must never be added until the soup is done. Soup should simmer on the back of the stove instead of boiling rapidly. When the meat is well cooked, strain, add salt and set in a cold place. Skim off all grease from the surface the next day and the stock is ready for use. Clear soups are never considered as wholesome as others. There are a great variety of vegetable, meat and cream soups which are appetizing. Cream of tomato, celery and asparagus are particularly good. A soup kettle where every bone or scrap of meat left over is thrown is considered very essential in many households, especially where soup is served every day. One or two tablespoonfuls of cold rice is an addition to any ordinary soup, especially chicken or mutton broth. Be careful that the soup is never greasy. If the stock stands over night all bits of grease can be removed. A cupful of tomatoes flavors a soup made of stock. In making good soup bay leaves, celery, parsley, carrots, onions, whole cloves and other herbs or vegetables are excellent for flavoring. An excellent stock for soup is made by cooking a knuckle of veal and a beef bone in cold water with six potatoes, five carrots and four tiny onions on the back of the stove for a day or longer, then strain and set away. PROPER USE OF GASOLINE. Sufficient Quantity for Washing Purposes is a Requisite. Too many people tell of their failure in gasoline washing. In nine cases out of ten, the reason is that too little gasoline is used. If you wash with water, you usually take a good basinful or pailful, but, when you wash with gasoline, you are apt to put a cupful into a generous-sized pall. This, of course, is just enough to stir up the dirt and to distribute it in a gray tone all over the lace, gloves or what not to be cleaned. Take a generous bowlful of gasoline and wash your gloves, laces, vells, neckwear, ribbons and silken accessories; then rinse them in plenty of clean gasoline. After using, if you will let the gasoline stand for a few moments, all the dirt will settle, and you can carefully pour off the clean gasoline to use at another operation. To clean gloves, put them on the hands and scrub with where: For who thus sight so keen and strong, That it can fal - low the flight of we: Denn was - sein Blink ist wohl so scharf, Dann er denn Lie - des - sing fal - gen song? Long, long af - ter-ward, in an oak, I found the ar - row still un - broke; And the darf?

Lied - chen? Aus vol - ler Brust Sang mir's der Freund of Leid und In Lust. like a pocket handkerchief. Silk washed in gasoline loses none of its dressing; feathers lose none of their curl; pleatings stay pleated. Never, of course, use gasoline in a room where there is burning stove or where the gas is lighted. Cure Hams. For two hams and shoulders of ordinary size take one cupful salt, one teaspoonful saltpetre, place on stove until quite warm. It is better to warm meat before rubbing, although not absolutely necessary, but the salt strikes in quicker. Now take a small amount of the mixture and rub the meat. Keep in a warm place for a few hours. In three to six days repeat this. In five days it is ready to smoke, which can be done in a hogshead with hickory, sassafras or corncobs. Smoke slowly two to three hours twice, which ought to be sufficient to make it a good deep color. When treated in this way the meat will be as fresh and sweet as a piece of steak. Will never cook tough and hard, and will keep just as well as if salt and smoke had been used without limit. Venetian Chicken. Take one large chicken or two small ones and boll the stock down to one and a half pints. Remove all bones and return to the kettle add three large tomatoes, fresh. Canned ones will do. Also add one large onion sliced thin, a few bits of celery and seasoning to taste. Boil all together quickly for about 15 minutes and it will chicken. Have on the stove a kettle of boiling water, about one and a half quarts, salted; put in one package of the best spaghetti, broken lengthwise once, and boll until it will cut easily with spoon. Drain off water, put spaghetti on hot platter, pour over the chicken and tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Garnish with hard boiled eggs cut lengthwise, and parsley. Serve hot. To Boll Rice. Place the rice on the fire in cold water and allow it to reach the boiling point slowly. As soon as it begins to boil, remove it from the fire, put in a colander, and hold under the cold water faucet until all the grains are swollen. Then add milk in place of water, season with salt and a little piece of butter, and let boll a short time. To Keep Meat Hot If your dinner is ready before you wish to serve it, place the meat over a large kettle of boiling water, cover it closely, and then spread a cloth over the whole. In this way the gravy will not be dried up. making money fast. Write for full particulari and special offer at once. NO MONEY REQUIRED until you receive and approve of your bicycle.

Loss of Uniform His Greatest Humiliation — Watches from Window Winter Palace Where He Once Was an Honored Guest. St. Petersburg.—An American newspaper correspondent recently was permitted to interview Gen. Stoessel, the defender of Port Arthur, in prison. Here is what he writes: Two cold blue eyes examined me through a tiny wicket in the door, and a rough voice said: "What do you want?" "I wish to see Gen. Stoessel," I answered. "Have you permission?" said the voice. "Here is my ticket," I said, producing a card on which it was stated that the commander of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul had the honor to accord me leave to see the "nobleman Stoessel." The gate in the high stone wall was opened and a soldier appeared. He then showed the way to the reception room in one of the buildings in the court beyond. We had not long to wait for Stoes sel. Punctually at one o'clock he came into the room. He was dressed in a black frock coat, his voice was weak and he looked older and more wrinkled than when he was on trial a few months ago. He is now a broken man who realizes that he has lost in the game of life. "Oh, yes, one can live here, and in sufficient comfort," he replied to our inquiries about his life, "but it is a vegetable existence More than anything I feel the loss of my uniform. MADAME STOPSSEL MADAME STOESSEL For 40 years I have worn the dress of an officer and now I am not allowed to put on the coat of a common soldier or to use a military cap." "How does your excellence spend the day?" I asked. "It begins very early for St. Petersburg," he replied, "at nine o'clock they bring the samovar and I take tea. The authorities do not provide bread and we have to provide that for ourselves. After a light breakfast I dress and go out for a walk in the little garden. At one o'clock I and the other officers imprisoned in the fortress dine together and after the meal I always find my wife waiting to see me. We have a right to receive friends only once a week, but the czar has accorded me the special privilege to see my dear wife every day. She remains until three o'clock and is not permitted to stay longer. When she is gone I stroll in the garden for a little and then I settle down to work I am writing my memoirs." "Perhaps you will allow me to see your room," I said. "I have special permission from the governor to do so." "Certainly," replied Stoessel, "but I warn you it is not very imposing." We crossed the courtyard together, entered another building and were soon in a vaulted apartment, furnished with great simplicity. There was a little bed. a square table, a cupboard and, behind a screen, a wash-stand and two comfortable armchairs. The lapping of the waters of the Neva could be heard on the stone walls, a monotonous, plaintive sound, half sad and half soothing. Through the barred windows a glorious view could be seen. Far across the bread expanse of the river stood out in the bright sunshine the winter palace. "I have often been there to see the emperor; I have dined there and years ago danced at the court balls. I never expected to see it day by day from a prison window." Stoessel sighed as he looked sadly towards the palace and then, turning to me, said: "There is only one beautiful thing here, the church. I love to go there and stand near the tombs of the czars while the choir is singing the praises of the Lord and of the Virgin. That rests and comforts me. In my heart I know that I did what I considered best for my country, but a scapegoat had to be found for the sins of the army during the war and I suffer for many." The heavy door was suddenly thrown open and a harsh voice said: "Your guest must go." "Come and see me again," said my unhappy host, and I left him still gazing at the palace across the Neva.

Proper Way to Prepare Broiled and Baked Mackerel—Salt Mackerel with Cream Sauce—Stuffed Haddock Is Good. Broiled Mackerel.—Pepper and salt to taste a small quantity of oil. Mackerel never should be washed when intended to be broiled, but merely wiped clean and dry after taking out the gills and insides. Open the back and put in a little pepper, salt, and oil broil it over a clear fire, turn it over on both sides and also on the back. When sufficiently cooked the flesh cau be detached from the bone, which will be in about ten minutes from a small mackerel. Chop a little parsley, work it up in the butter, with pepper and salt to taste, and a squeeze of lemon juice, and put it in the back. Serve before the hitter is quite melted. Baked Mackerel.—Clean and trim the fish nicely, say four large ones, or half a dozen small ones, bone them, and lay neatly in a baking d'sh or on a bed of potato chips well dusted with a mixture of pepper and salt; on the potatoes place a few pieces of butter. Dust the fish separately with pepper and salt, and sprinkle slightly with a diluted mixture of anchory sauce and catsup. Bake three-quarters of an hour. Salt Mackerel with Cream Sauce. Soak over night in lukewarm water, changing this in the morning for ice cold. Rub all the salt off and wipe dry. Grease your grid'ron with butter and rub the fish on both sides with melted butter. Then broil quickly over a clear fire, turning with a cake turner so as not to break it. Lay upon a hot water dish and cover until the sauce is ready. Sauce.—Heat a small cup of milk to scalding. S-ir into it a teaspoonful of corn starch wet up with a little water. When this thickens add two tablespoonfuls of butter, pepper, salt and chopped parsley. Beat an egg light, pour the sauce gradually over it, put the mixture again over the fire, and stir one minute, not more. Pour upon the fish and let all stand covered, over the hot water in the chafing dish. Put fresh boiling water under the dish before sending to table. Baked Haddock.—Choose a nice fish of about six pounds, which trim and scrape nicely, clean carefully and fill with a stuffing of veal, chopped ham, and breadcrumbs. Sew up with strong thread and shape the fish round, putting the tail in the mouth, or if two are required, lay them along the dish reversed—that is, tail to head. Rub over with plenty of butter, or a batter of eggs and flour, and then sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Let the owen be hot when put in. In about an hour the fish will be ready. Mussel sauce is a good accompaniment. Currled Haddock—Fillet the fish and curry it in a pint of beef stock, slightly diluted with water, and thick- BETWEEN G & H Ladies' Diamond Rings, $5.00 to $150.

Take one pint of black turtle beans, one quart of good stock, one lemon, $1\frac{1}{2}$ quarts of boiling water, two hard-boiled eggs, one level teaspoonful of salt, one saltspoonful of pepper. Wash the beans, drain, cover with cold water and soak over night. In the morning drain again, and cover with boiling water. Cover the kettle and boll slowly for about two hours until the beans are very tender; add the salt, pepper and stock. Press the whole through a colander; then through a sieve. Rinse the kettle; return the soup to it, and bring to boiling point. Cut the eggs and lemon into thin slices, and put them into the tureen; pour over the boiling thick soup and serve. Cook three quarts of water and one cup of sugar together for five minutes. Take from the fire and add two half pint tumblers of currant jelly, Asling the homemade jelly if possible. Add three lemons and three oranges sliced as thin as paper and set away to chill. Serve by pouring over cracked ice in a punch bowl. Clean Brussels Carpet. To clean Brussels carpet and rugs without whipping or pounding them or without taking up, make a good suds of warm water and sapello soap. Use a little hand brush and a soft cloth. Go over it one yard at a time, then use clean, warm water and rub it. Your carpet will look like a new one. Home-Made Candy. Black Bean Soup. Currant Punch.

"WARREN & TURNER, 1248 Ninth Street Northwest DEATH OF MRS. CLARA E. BURRITI. Deeply impressive were the obse- quies over the remains of the Iate Mrs. Clara E. Burrill, whose death occurred on the 22nd ultimo. The funeral took place from the family residence in Seventeenth street on Monday, the 25th, and the corpse was placed in the vault at Wood- lawn Cemetery, interment being de- ferred. The religious ceremonies were conducted by Rev. F. J. Grimke, who was assisted by Revs. Oscar L.Mitch- ell and J. Milton Waldron. Rev, Grimke, in position beside the sbmber casket, read the funeral of- fice and delivered a brief and fitting eulogy. He recounted the thirty-two years’ membership of the deceased in Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Ch., and paid a glowing tribute to her motherly devotion, and the many praiseworthy qualities which she had possessed in life as a useful member of the community. Miss Lola Johnson sang “One Sweetly Solemn Thought,” and a quartette composed of Miss Nettie Murray, Mr. Clarence Wormley,Miss Josephine Wormley and Mr. Mar- shall, led in singing the hymns. The funeral was largely attended by sorrowing friends, the number of earlier Washington families being no- ticeably represented. The floral of- ‘ferings were unusually numerous. . Those serving as pallbearers were Justices E. Mi Hewlett and Robert H. Terrell, Drs. A. T, Pride and W. Bruce Evans, and Messrs. R. N. Boyd, William L. Houston, Henry P. Slaughter and ‘H. C, Tyson. Mrs. Burrill was the widow of the late John H. Burrill, The surviving members of t he family are Dr. Edmond A, Burrill, Mary P. Burrill and Mrs. Roscoe C. Bruce (nee Carrie V. Burrill). Dr. Burrill could not -be present during the funeral, as he is stationed in St. Etienne, France, where he is the vice “consul and deputy of the United States. FIVE DOLLARS DOWN.
