VOL. 29 NO 4 THE PEOPLE AROUSED COLORED PUBLIC SCHOOLS More Favoritism—Deserving Teach- The removal of Dr. William E. Chancellor from the public schools certainly relieved the people and many of the teachers from embarrassment. There seems to be an evil growing up in the public schools which will no doubt work to the injury of the entire public school system if not checked at once by the Board of Education. The recommendation of certain pets and favorites should be investigated by the Board of Education, and if the charges are established that will be made, the guilty parties should be removed at once. The Bee respectfully calls upon the Board of Education to investigate at once marking of teachers by a self-constituted board of supervisors. The Bee warns the school authorities against this wholesale promotion of favorites of supervising principals of their pet teachers over those who are more deserving and are entitled to the places. Competent teachers of long standing have been ignored and unworthy favorites have been recommended. Congress will be compelled to abolish the Negro officials who have the supervision of the Negro schools even if it becomes necessary to place them under white supervision. The people are aroused, and those who pay taxes to support schools do not intend to continue allowing deserving teachers to be demoted and incompetent and unworthy, teachers appointed. ALL NEGROES FOR TAFT NOW The War Secretary's Original Supporters Jubilant, and Erstwhile Senator Foraker in Line — Sets Excellent Example for Colored Followers — Booker T. Washington's Congratulations — Aftermath of the Chicago Convention. Taft's Election Assured. By National Negro Press Bureau. By National Negro Press Bureau. Taft and Sherman will be elected. The Negro supporters of the Administration, the original Taft men, and the followers of the"Allies" will stand by the nominees as a unit at the polls in November. This is the inspiring message now brought home by the "pilgrims" who returned this week after a "hot old time" at the Chicago Convention. The colored warriors, having fought a good fight for what they believed to be right, should now bow to the inevitable, like good soldiers, and in fine imitation of the gallant Foraker, join the dominant wing of the Republican army, and turn their guns upon the common enemy. The will of the great majority of the party has been expressed at Chicago; the minority, white and black, should accept the verdict like men and bend every effort to bring about a mighty triumph for Taft and Sherman over the forces of race proscription and mobocracy, represented by Bryan, Heflin, Tillman, and the rest of that unholy gang of Constitution-defiers. Officeholders, officeseekers, ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and business men and the laity — many of whom have been strong adherents of Fairbanks, Foraker, Cannon, Knox and Hughes, have been seen by your correspondent this week, and not one whose opinion is worthy of notice has justified any course savoring of a 'bolt' of colored voters from the ticket-named at Chicago. The weapons of warfare have been laid aside, and whatever may have been their preferences ten days ago, they are all "Taft men" now. So satisfied are all elements of our people that tentative arrangements have been made thus early to hold a grand Taft and Sherman ratification meeting at Convention Hall about the 5th of August, at which time some of the ablest speakers in the country will be present and sound telling keynotes expressive of the friendly attitude of the colored people toward the nomi- nees and reaffirming their confidence in the safety and sanity of the Republican party on all questions affecting the well-being of the Negro race. The first person to secure the word that Taft had been nominated was the War Secretary's fiathful messenger, William Pannell, who has traveled much with his chief, and who has been for years a firm believer that destiny had marked him for the presidency of the American Republic. Another colored man who derives the most intense satisfaction from the success of the Secretary is Maj. Arthur Brooks, who went to Cuba and the Philippines with him, and who is as devoted to his personal fortunes as any member of his family could possibly be. Every colored attache of the War Department is as proud over the result as if he had been handed an individual promotion. The only regret that comes to them is that his genial presence is to no longer illuminate the recesses of the great department, which has been made the main arm of the Government by the masterly manner in which he has administered it. Two telegrams congratulating Secretary Taft upon his victory may be taken as typical of the sentiment of the thoughtful Negroes as to the result of the deliberations at Chicago. The first, coming from Dr. Booker T. Washington, reads as follows: Tuskegee Institute, June 19, '08. My Dear Sir: — Most hearty and sincere congratulations. You more than deserve it all. I feel quite sure you will be triumphantly elected to the presidency, and that my race will assist in bringing about the result. Booker T. Washington. The second was from Vice-President James J. Dosson, of the Liberian Commission, and the other two envoys joined in signing the significant note of confidence. The telegram read: New York, June 19, '08. "Sir:—The news of your nomination by an almost unanimous vote to the highest position in the gift of a free people has just reached us, and we hasten to send you, in the name of the Republic of Liberia, our warmest congratulations, praying Heaven's blessings upon you." The cordial reception given the envoys by Secretary Taft a few days ago in Washington has regarded by them as an earnest of his deep interest in the welfare of the colored race everywhere, and made a distinctly favorable impression upon them. They made it plain to friends here that the people of Liberia could ask nothing better than that their colored well-wishers in this country would do their level best to make William Howard Taft the successor to President Roosevelt at the White House. Secretary Taft retires from office July 1, and is to be succeeded by Gen. Luke B. Wright., former Goevrnor-General of the Philippines, following Governor Taft in that position, and later Ambassador to Japan. The new Secretary is a Tenneseean, and is one of the leading lawyers not only of his own State, but of the entire South. It is stated with confidence by those who know him intimately that he has always been foremost in advocating and insisting upon fair treatment for the colored people. As Secretary of War, General Wright will have an army of colored employees under his direction, and it will be very agreeable to them to be assured that they may look to him for the same generous and sympathetic treatment that was meted out with such a lavish hand by his predecessor. Secretary Taft, during the turmoil and excitement attending his nomination for the presidency, issued an order to the quartermaster general of the army, directing the reservation of a suitable plot of ground in the Arlington National Cemetery as a site for a monument in special honor of colored soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil War. The Secretary's action was in compliance with the petition of the Colored Soldiers' Monument Association, which is collecting funds for the monument. This petition was presented to the Secretary a few days ago by a committee representing the colored posts of the Grand Army of the Republic of the District. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JUNE 3 of which Lewis H. Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, was chairman. It is proposed to-erect the monument in the new section of the Arlington Cemetery specially allotted to the burial of colored soldiers and sailors of the United States. ANOTHER TEST OF JIM-CROW CAR LAW. Reaches the United States Supreme Court — Lawyer Chiles, of Ken- ACHIEVEMENTS COMP. Booker. T. Was gee, speaking to a Bethel African M church, of Philadelphia, colored ch boxer, as a type of things. Mr. Washington lesson from Joe Upon a writ of error granted him by the Kentucky Court of Appeals, J. Aleaxnder Chiles, a well-known lawyer of Lexington, Ky., has been able ```markdown ``` THE LEGEND OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN REV. S. L. CORROTHERS. to get his case against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company before the Supreme Court of the United States. The papers have been received by that august tribunal and will be considered in due season. The decision may have a vital effect upon the separate-coach laws throughout the South, and the outcome is being watched with eager interest by the friends and foes of the "Jim Crow" car statutes so dear to the lower stratum of the Southern States. A brief history of the case will be of interest at this time. Attorney Chiles, a dignified and good-looking colored man, while a through passenger on the Chesapeake and Ohio from Washington to Lexington, was compelled when he reached the Kentucky line to take the "Jim Crow" car, under the separate coach law of that State. Attorney Chiles claimed that he was an interstate passenger, and that this treatment was in violation of his constitutional rights. Upon his return to Lexington he instituted suit against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company for ten thousand dollars damages. The case was tried in the Fayette Circuit Court, and judgment was given in favor of the defendant company. Chiles appealed to the Court of Appeals for a new trial, but his motion was overruled and the verdict of the lower court sustained. The plaintiff then prayed for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which appeal was granted on the plaintiff's citation of eleven errors in the proceedings which ousted him from the lower courts. So far, Attorney Chiles has fought out this great battle alone, using his own funds to carry the case from court to court, and it is gratifying to learn hat since the issue has attracted such that since the issue has attracted such far-reaching value to the people at large, a movement has been inaugurated in Kentucky by which money in any sum may be contributed to aid Attorney Chiles in the prosecution of his case — which able lawyers pronounce a good one. READ THE BEE DAY JUNE 27, 1908. ACHIEVEMENT BETTER THAN COMPLAINT. Booker. T. Washington, of Tuskegee, speaking to a big audience in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, of Philadelphia, cited Joe Gans, colored champion lightweight boxer, as a type of the man who does things. Mr. Washington said: "Learn a lesson front Joe Gans. You remember some time ago he had a fight with Nelson, and his friends asked him about his chances, and he answered simply, 'Put every dollar on me.' Some nervous people ran to Gans and asked him if he wasn't afraid of the color line, but to all inquiries he only THE answered, 'Put every dollar on me.' And he won. He had faith in himself. "But if he had only moaned about his downtrodden, race, and gone around with the same old whine, the same old backache, the same old tale of woe and hard luck, would he have won or would he have been supported? One exhibition of accomplishment will do the race more good than all the indignation meetings you can hold from now to doomsday." WORTHY HONOR CONFERRED More Degrees Than Any Negro His Age n America. The best known and most honored young Negro in America is John Anderson Lankford. He is an architect by profession who has a national reputation as having designed and supervised the largest, most beautiful and costly buildings in this country owned by our race, and many of the same class for other races. A few weeks ago he was unanimously recommended and accepted by the Bishops and General Conference of the A. M. E. Church as the supervising architect to design and supervise the work on all their buildings of that great religious institution. In the Bishops' Quadrennial Address to the Church they recognized him as the authority among our people along the lines of Christian art. He has been honored by more of our best and leading Negro Colleges and Universities than any Negro in America, having received the honorary degrees of B. S. from Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C.; M. S. from Wilberforce University, and Morris Brown College, and a few days ago M. M. S. (Master of Mechanical Science) from the State Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama (of Normal, Ala.) He is a strong believer in his race, he employs all Negro mechanics and professional men to do his work, and we believe that every Negro in America should give him a chance whenever they have work in his line.

THE "JIM GROW" CAR. Attorneys Scott and Clinkscales Are Granted a New Trial for Their Clients. 503 D Street N. W. Washington, D. C., June 24, 1908 To the Editor of The Bee: Please permit us to say that we do not crave for publication in cases that come to this office and while they are pending before the Courts. We represented Agnes Carver against the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railway Company in a suit for damages on account of the Separate Coach Act of the State of Virginia, otherwise called the "Jim Crow Car Law," and the jury rendered a verdict for the defendant on the 4th of June last. A motion for a new trial was filed, argued and submitted, and on June 20, 1908, the motion for a new trial was granted, and the case is now set for hearing again at the fall term of the Circuit Court. It has been intimated that a collection would be raised to fight this case, but we desire to say to the public that it is not needed. This office does not ask the public for contributions. We expect to try our case, as any other case when it is called for trial, and we do not want to win anything if it is not done by merit alone and in accordance with law. Our client has paid us what she was asked to pay, and we have not asked any aid in this cause of anyone, and do not need any assistance. Respectfully, Marion T. Clinkscales, Armond W. Scott, Attorney for Plaintiff. Special to the Washington Bee. The National Baptist Convention of the United States of America is coming to Lexington and the local committee is making all necessary arrangements to entertain it; and from all reports it will be one of the largest in the history of the Association. The National Convention will bring to the city of Lexington not less than five thousand Baptists. The committee is hard at work soliciting homes for the messengers, and they will be ready by July 1 for assigning homes to those thinking of attending the convention. The Business Men's League, Interdenominational Alliance, City Teacher's Association, Queen Esther Court, and the Commercial Club (white) love pledged the committee their support. The white friends have tendered the local committee the beautiful and commodious Auditorium, where the convention will be held. The citizens have joined hands in helping to make the convention a success. Lexington is well known for its hospitality. It is no new thing to yearly entertain ten thousand people and upward during the famous Lexington Fair. The Rev. E. N. Hawthorne is chairman of the local committee and he is very pleased with the unusual amount of interest that is being manifested by all people. Those wishing homes can write the Rev. E. W.Hawthorne on or after July 1. Those wishing to attend the Lexington Colored Fair can be here a week before the association. E. W. Hawthorne, D.D., M. L. Edwards Chair.

Miss Lucy Slowe, a recent graduate of the College Department of Howard university, was appointed as teacher of English and History in the High and Training School of Baltimore, Md. The official Nor Deutshe Zeitlung, published in Berlin, in referring to the nomination of William H. Taft, makes the following statement: "We have no doubt that, should Mr. Taft be elected Chief Magistrate of the United States in November, as seems evident, the great transatlantic republic will give itself in him an excellent president." The seventy-fifth anniversary of Oberlin College was celebrated at Oberlin, Ohio, last Saturday. Many men and women from all sections of the United States and of Canada attended the annual convention of the United ProfessionalTeachers of Dancing of America at Toledo, Ohio. Mme. Wu, wife of the Chinese Minister at Washington, arrived in this city this week. Some of the churches in this city held Children's Day exercises last Sunday. A man who was bitten three months ago at Pittsburg by a dog was reported last Monday to be dying of hydrophobia. United States Commissioner Matile, of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, died at Green Bay, Wis., last week. James R. Garfield, Secertary of the Interior, is visiting the islands of Rauail. Now that the Commissioners have absolutely no control of street rail-days operating in the District, the street cars in this city can travel at any speed and the government can only make a note of it, being entirely powerless to prevent or punish. Due to a misunderstanding of signals between the two motormen, two cars of the H-Street and Brookland lines collided last Saturday morning. The fire which was started by lightning almost destroyed the Victor Rubber Company's plant at Synderville, west of Springfield, Ohio. The chauffer of King Leopold was fined $110 last week at Brussels for having upset and injured a bicyclist. Miss Jean Reid, daughter of White-law Reid, the American Ambassador to England, was married last Tuesday afternoon in the Chapel Royal of St. James' Palace, London, to the Hon. John H. Ward, brother of the Earl of Dudley. It was announced last Tuesday by the health officer that the employes of the dog pound are actively engaged in enforcing the Commissioners' ning at large. Capt. Lorenzo D. Baker, known as "The Banana King of Jamaica,"died last Sunday at the age of sixty-three years at the Parker House, Boston. The wealth of W. B. Leeds, who died suddenly at the Ritz Hotel, Paris, last Tuesday morning, is estimated at $25,000,000. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the President's son, it is understood, will get that experience as an employee of the United States Corporation this summer. "Christianity and Socialism" was the principal topic before the Pan-Anglican Conference at London last Monday. More than six thousand persons were present. The new switch connecting the two principal railway lines with the Union Station railway station was put into operation last Wednesday morn- FRUIT SALADS NOW DAY OF DELICIOUS COMBINATION IS HERE. Strawberry Makes Excellent Combination with Nearly Every Other Fruit on the List—Apple with Celery and Mayonnaise. The strawberry brings to the mind of dainty cooks the delicious fruit salads that they have loved long since and lost awhile in favor of vegetable and meat concoctions. The English do not combine the fruit and vegetable salads as the French chefs do, and the best American cooks are tending to keep the fruit salad as a dainty dish by itself, which can almost take the place of ices or sweets on the spring and summer lunch table. Strawberries are delicious in fruit salad, and strange as it seems to meet this familiar fruit on the table without the usual accompaniment of cream and sugar, it is very popular in the new form and is combined with nearly every other fruit in the list. A grapefruit is especially good with strawberries. The core and fiber of the grapefruit is removed after the fruit has been halved, the pulp being loosened from the sides in the usual manner. The berries are then placed in the center and the whole is allowed to remain on ice until very cold. A French dressing is added at the table. Apples combine with nearly every other fruit, but are best with celery and mayonnaise, this being one of the first fruit salads to win favor several seasons ago, and known as Waldorf salad. A pretty way to serve it is to scoop out the inside of a red-cheeked apple without injuring the outside form of the fruit. Then replace the apple chopped with celery, the core parts being entirely removed. When apple blossoms are procurable they form a dalty decoration for the open part of the apple. Cucumbers may be opened carefully and filled the same way, with a mixture of apple and chopped nuts, the cucumber pulp being used and the shell neatly reclosed so as to present the appearance of being untouched. The cucumbers should be packed in a bed of fresh cresses and chopped ice. Fruit salads can be effectively served in glass punch cups, packed in shaved ice in the high glasses sometimes used for grapefruit. A geranium or mint leaf is rubbed on the glass by some cooks, and in fact, their fancy has free play in concocting these dainty dishes. Calf's Foot Jelly. To four calf's feet, carefully scraped and prepared, allow about two quarts of water and boil about seven hours, skimming well. When done, set aside to congeal, then remove all the grease. From the four feet there should be about three plats and a half of jelly. Pour on this one quart of sherry, the juice of six lemons, a pound and a half of granulated sugar, the thinly-peeled yellow rind of two lemons, one bunch of raisins and two blades of mace. Wash eight eggs clean, beat the whites to a froth and crush the shells. Put with the jelly. Set on fire, stir until the jelly is melted, then remove the spoon. Let boll just 20 minutes from the time it commences to boil. Pour into a coarse cotton bag and drain. If not perfectly clear, repeat the straining until transparent. Inexpensive Cream Cake. Cream one rounding tablespoonful of butter with one cupful of sugar, add one beaten egg, one cupful of milk and two cupfuls of flour sifted twice with four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in three layer cake tins. Spread with a cooked filling, for which beat one egg and one-half cupful of sugar together; add one-quarter cupful of flour made smooth in a little milk to one cupful of hot milk and cook six minutes. Stir in the egg and sugar and when it thickens add flavoring. Cool before using. Bundkuchen. To one pint of milk add a cake of compressed yeast and dissolve thoroughly. Sift 1½ pounds flour, make hple in center and pour in milk and yeast. Stir into a stiff batter, throw a handful of flour over it and set aside to rise. Take one-third pound butter, four eggs, one cup sugar, one cup raisins and a pinch of grated nutmeg, teaspoon of salt and grated rind of a lemon. When the sponge is light put in the butter, warmed, and the rest of ingredients in order given. Mix well with large spoon. Put in pans and let rise. This will make two small loaves. Sweetbreads with Mushrooms. Boll the sweetbreads carefully for three-quarters of an hour; pick them apart, rejecting the membrane; drain and chop fine and take one can of mushrooms, mash together and let them stand in the refrigerator for two hours. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour in a chafing dish, add one pint of milk and stir until the sauce thickens. Add to the sweetbreads and mushrooms a teaspoonful of salt and a half-spoonful of pepper. Serve when hot. Cake Without Egg. One cup sugar, one cup flour, one cup lard, one cup buttermilk, teaspoon nutmeg, teaspoon clammon, teaspoon soda. Bake in four layers with apple butter between or may be baked in a loaf. FOR LOVERS OF GCOD THINGS. Three Recipes That Will Be Certain to Please Them. Washington Ple.—Six yolks of eggs, three light cups of sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, two cups of sifted sugar, all mixed thoroughly; add the whipped whites of six eggs, and just as the cakes are to be baked add four teaspoonfuls of sweet milk, with one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in it; bake in jelly cake pans in a quick oven. The mock charlotte for filling between the cakes is: One pint of sweet milk in a double boiler and when it begins to boil put in two eggs, whites and yolks well beaten, one cup of sifted sugar, one cup of sifted flour, and stir until thick. Flavor with vanilla and mix chocolate with it, or keep it plain, and spread between cakes and sift powdered sugar on top of cake. Marshmellow Souffle—Whites of 12 eggs, 12 tablepouffels of gelatine dissolved in half a cup of warm water, one tablespoon of vanilla and half of the juice of a lemon, all whipped stiff and put on ice. Serve this with mama cherry cherries on top and yellow berry custard, or whipped cream around it. Lady Baltimore Cake.—A big cake, or four layers; one cup of butter, two cups of sifted sugar, three and one-half cups of sifted flour, one cup of sweet milk, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, whites of six eggs whipped stiff, one teaspoonful of vaillau, and one teaspoonful of rose water; add the whites of eggs last. Filling and icing: Three cups of sifted granulated sugar in one cup of boiling water, whites of four eggs whipped stiff. To this icing add one cup of chopped raisins and one cup of grated pecans, and six 1/2 cups, cut in small pieces; mix thoroughly, then put between the layers of cake, and ice on top and sides of the cake. ORDERLY WAYS THE BEST. How Much Time Frequently May Be Saved in the Household. As careful as housewives are, they sometimes neglect to keep the dresser drawers in good order and the handkerchiefs, sheets, stockings and the like are thrown in any place which will conveniently hold them. One would have far more room and would have much less bother if the articles were all placed together. After the laundry comes home put all sheets together, all pillow cases and articles of like kind in one pile, tie with white tape and give them a place in the drawer where they will always be found. There is quite an art in folding clothes to make each piece small and easily packed. It is nice to have all articles arranged like this. Place between the various packages the little envelopes of sandal wood. It has a lasting and delicate odor that is pleasing to the most refined taste. Canning Rhubarb. If one has canned rhubarb it can be used during the winter to mix with other fruits for pies and the "filter" is never detected. It can be mixed with apples for pies, is delicious when added to berries and cranberries are more delicate when mixed half and half with rhubarb. One way of preparing rhubarb is to cook it until done without adding sugar, though often persons find it keeps better if preserved in the ordinary manner, with less sugar than is needed to completely sweeten it. Add but little water, for the rhubarb contains a great deal of its own liquid and needs only enough to start steam. There are so many uses for this cheap article of food that a dozen or two-dozen jars will not come amiss when fruit is needed in the winter. A Valuable Tip. With many washings blankets are apt to shrink, and weary folk know the discomfort of using one too short for the bed. Here is an excellent remedy: Obtain a strip of stout, unbleached calico or sheeting the width of the blanket, the depth depending on how much additional length is needed. Machine this securely on to the end of the blanket. Place this end at the foot of the bed, tucking the calico well under the mattress. The outer edges of old sheets worn in the middle can be utilized, in this way instead of new calico.—Home Chat. Tomato Pie. Chop fine any bits of cold meat, several different kinds will make the dish more tasty. Line a dish with bread crumbs, then put in a layer of the meat, well reasoned, and a few bits of butter; then a layer of tomatoes. Then more crumbs, meat, tomatoes, etc., until all materials are used. Add any gravy left over, or molsten, or make a little stock from the meat bones, as the pies should be as moist as a scallop. Fake in a hot oven until nicely browned. A Popular Dish. A popular dish served in one of the restaurants consists of half a baked potato, unpeeled, with enough of the inside scooped out to make a cup, which is filled with a shirred egg dressed with white sauce flavored with cheese. The potato makes an excellent ramekin for the purpose, and it retains the heat well, and makes the dish more appetizing. Pumice Stone for Pans. When washing kitchen utensils, such as skillets, frying pans, etc., scour with a flat piece of pumice stone, which can be procured at any drug store for a few cents, and lasts for some time. You will find it a good help in keeping such articles bright and clean. LIGHT FOR SUMMER HIGH TIME TO DISCARD HEAVY DRAPERIES. Heavy draperies should be replaced by lighter weight cotton or silk fabrics that are cool and cheerful in appearance. Curtains of Calcutta net are reasonable and suitable for various purposes. The net comes in all colors and in several meshes. It is 48 inches wide and 50 cents a yard. The green and tan shades are good. The white and ecru wash well, and to avoid shrinking, pull it gently into shape when nearly dry. Calcutta net is also used extensively for den and living-room pillows. The cushions first have a slip of a plain color and over this a cover of the net in a suitable shade. This gives a lattice effect to the pillows which is quite pleasing. Then there are silkolines, taffetas, soft silks and dimities, as well as denims and cretones. Silkolines are soft and pretty, but are most too flimsy for satisfactory curtains. Scrim increases in popularity and great improvement in weaves has been accomplished the past few years. Linen taffeta is very popular, and burlap is particularly well adapted for stencil effects, and is available for walls as well as draperies. Dimity lauders well and can therefore be kept fresh and clean. Priscilla silk; coming in every shade at 90 cents a yard, can be used with cream Calcutta net to give color tone to a room. This silk resembles the heavier raw silk used for draperies, but which costs $1.50 a yard. The silk curtains should hang straight down, and not reach more than four inches below the window. Many prefer curtains only to the sill, but allowance must then be made for shrinkage of the washable under curtain, as at all times both net and silk curtains should be the same length. Of course the domestic and imported cretonnes are handsomer each year and still lead in cotton fabrics for hangings and furniture coverings. Exquisite designs in domestic cretonne can be had as low as 28 cents a yard, and are shown side by side with the imported, which retail from 30 cents to $3.50 a yard. The higher-priced imported cretonnes are double width. The demand this season is for the single width grades, which cost from 30 to 50 cents a yard. As over draperies, cretonnes are effective. They should not be hung next to the glass, for they will fade rapidly. Plain net or scrim, between them and the light, protects the draperies. Some of the large shop windows are showing the effect of a room done entirely in cretonne. Where it is employed lavishly, there is danger in overdoing it. This season the cretonne in floral pattern is preferred, and although blue, mauve and pale yellow are in demand, pinks and reds are used to a greater extent.—N. Y. Post. Sniced Salmon. Select a flat can of salmon—the kind usually put up as "salmon steaks," as this makes a better appearance when served. Open carefully, drain off the liquid, and remove the skin and central bone, keeping the fish as whole as possible. Place carefully in an agate or earthen dish of sufficient depth to allow of its being covered with liquid. Take as much good vinegar as will be needed and to each quart add one teaspoonful of peppercorns, a half teaspoonful of whole allspice, a dozen cloves, one small white onion, one-half a bay leaf, and a half teaspoonful of salt. Heat slowly, boll for five minutes, then pour immediately over the dish. Let stand for at least 12 hours before serving. It will keep well for four or five days. Prevent Line Twisting. One of the greatest annoyances and bothers which one has to put up with on washday is a clothes line which is constantly twisting, and if the line is a stiff one the trouble is increased fourfold. To prevent the line from twisting hold the ball of rope in the left hand and wind with the right hand until the twist appears, then change the ball to the right hand and twist with the left hand, and the twist will disappear. As soon as another twist appears change back to the left hand. Continue to wind in this manner until the line is all wound up. Quick Coffee Cake Take three tablespoons of batter before you mix your bread. Break into this two eggs, one tablespoon and a half of melted butter, one cup of sugar, and a scant cup of milk. Beat this until well mixed. Then add a cup and a half of flour and two teaspoons of baking powder. Stir up again and spread in pan to bake. On top sprinkle cinnamon and a half cup of sugar. Apples or raisins may be added if liked. Bake in quick oven at once. Fresh Doughnuts. Try placing doughnuts in a hot oven for a few minutes before serving. Then put them, one at a time, in a small bag containing a little powdered sugar and shake well. In this way doughnuts several days old seem nearly as fresh as those just made. Juicy Steak Cut beefsteak in large pieces, dip in cold water, flour, and fry in hot lard. Try this and you will taste a delicious piece of 'julcy steak. Guaranteed to Drive Away Enemies of Domestic Peace. Dissolve two pounds of alum in three quarts of water. Let it remain over night until all alum is dissolved. Then with a brush, apply boiling hot to joints or crevices in the closet or shelves where croton bugs, ants, cockroaches, etc., intrude; also joints and crevices of bedsteads, as bedbugs cannot live where this solution is applied. To keep woolens and furs from moths, be sure that none are in the article when put away; then take a piece of strong brown paper, with not a hole through which even a pin can enter. Put the article in it with several lumps of gum campher between the folds; place this in a closed box. Cover every joint with paper. A piece of cotton cloth, if thick and firm, will answer. Russian leather, tobacco leaves, whole cloves, also are used to preserve furs or woolens from moths. Mice never get into trunks or drawers where gum camphor is placed. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If pecan nuts are soaked over night in water when cracked the kernels will come out whole. Sun blinds and shades should be unrolled and examined to see if they require mending or cleaning. The best way to mend a tear is to coagulline a piece of the same material on at the back. A garment made of almost any material may be creamed with tea. Make the tea strong and soak the garment will in it. Iron the garment before it dries and the color will be a pretty cream. The tea does not streak the goods as coffee does and is a prettier color and less expensive than the creaming substance that is bought. After cooky dough has been prepared instead of using a cutter in the old way turn out part of the dough at a time on bread board and with the hand roll a long round roll about five inches thick. Then with a sharp knife cut off in small pieces about one-half inch thick; place in baking pan and give plenty of room to swell or spread. Will bake in perfect shape and is much quicker. IN THE HOME. An open fire is certainly a happy feature in it. Chairs that can be sat upon are a more necessary essential than some housewives think. In the living room there must be a softly shaded light placed low for reading and sewing. Readable books and magazines lying around loose are one of the important things. A carpet that can be walked on by the family is much better than one preserved for the sacred feet of strangers. Stilted "suits" of furniture are a good thing to avoid; also loud papers and highly colored pictures. As to tebacco smoke and dust—well, there have been homes with them and places without them that utterly failed to be homes. Cheerfulness and love and mutual accommodation as to tastes go further to make a real home than over-zealous spotlessness and everlasting oversight. Pan Stew Take pieces of cold beefsteak, cut in small pieces, place in a frying pan until the bottom of the pan is covered. Dredge with flour, a little salt and pepper, and one onion chopped fine. Then slice cold potatoes and lay in layers on the meat; cut up a few tomatoes and place on top of the potatoes; season all with salt and pepper. Cover all with water, put the cover on and cook 20 minutes. Boll potatoes with the skins on the day before using. When the meat is boiled save some of the stock and put in when the meat and potatoes are mixed. Corn Starch Blanc Mange Stir into one quart boiling milk or fruit juice of any sort (that from stewed raspberries or cherries being best) four rounding tablespoonfuls corn starch dissolved in a little of the cold milk or fruit juice. Stir until smooth and thickened, sweeten and flavor to taste, then cook in double boiler for an hour. Pour into small molds wet with cold water and set away to cool. When ready to serve turn out on individual dishes and serve cold with cream and sugar. A pretty addition to the service of this pudding is to encircle each mold as turned out on a glass or china dish with a row of strawberries, raspberries, sliced bananas or peaches. This makes an extremely decorative and inexpensive dessert. To Prepare Duck. To dress a duck so that it will not be an all day task, as soon as killed and while it is still warm, pick off the fine feathers, providing you want to save them for pillows. Then pour scalding water over it and wrap it promptly in a piece of old blanket or flannel and allow it to steam in this for fully ten minutes. Unwrap and pull off the coarse feathers, and with a coarse cloth (a piece of burlap is best) rub the small feathers and "down" off it with almost no trouble. Egg Dressing. One egg well beaten; add a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoon of prepared mustard, one-half cup of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and pepper, if desired. Beat all thoroughly, then add one cup of cider vinegar. Boil—stir constantly, or cook in double boiler—till thick, and add heaping tablespoonful butter. Wm. Cannon, 1225 a11, 1227 724 Stree, N.

Baked Salt Cod Soak salt codfish several hours in plenty of cold water, put into cold water, and simmer gently about 15 minutes. Pick into fine shreds and add the same amount of mashed potatoes. To one quart of the mixture add two rounding tablespoons of butter, one beaten egg, and hot milk to molsten. Put into a buttered baking dish, brush over with soft butter, dredge lightly with flour, and bake until brown on top. Serve with a sauce made from two level tablespoons of flour, four of butter, one cup of milk, and salt and pepper to season. Add a hard boiled egg chopped coarsely and heat well, then serve. A Substitute for Spinach. The tender leaves of young beet tops or turnips may be used instead of spinach and make a pleasant change for the lover of greens. Thoroughly wash leaves to remove grit and boll until tender. Drain, press out the water and dress with butter, salt and pepper, stirring in a saucepan until thoroughly heated. The flavor is much improved if a little vinegar and oil are added on the table. This is better than serving it with the greens as many persons prefer the butter dressing.

PRINGE TURNS MONK HEIR TO THRONE OF MEXICO FORSAKES WORLD. Renounces All Political Ambition and Will Devote Life to Literature and Writings—Chosen by Maximilian as Successor. Washington.—Prince Augustine de Iturbide, grandson of the great liberator of Mexico, heir to a throne, man of the world, educated, widely traveled and a member of the jeunesse doree of many European capitals, has forsaken the ways of the fashionable world and joined the Third Order of SL Francis. In Washington fashionable society Prince Iturbide was widely known for many years. Suffering recently from a severe illness, he has of late spent many months in the hospital. Prince Iturbide now asserts that he has renounced all political ambitions and that he will never make any attempt to regain his claim in Mexico. He expects to devote his life mainly to literature and writings of a theological character. Interwoven with the life of the prince is the romantic history of the land of the cactus for the last hundred years, and the melancholy fate of the Austrian archduke, Maximillan. By right of descent from the Emperor Iturbide, as well as from the fact that he was declared heir by Maximillan, Prince Iturbide would be entitled to the throne of Mexico were that country to again become an empire. The Emperor Iturbide was born in 1733 and led the revolt of the colonies, then known as New Spain, against the mother country. This war began in 1821 and lasted seven months, ending in the success of the colonies, the PRINCE ITURBIDE leader of the army, Iturbide, becoming emperor This state of affairs was concluded in about a year by the abdication of the emperor, who sailed for Europe, where he made his home some time Learning that his native land was to be made the object of an attack by the European powers, Iturbide returned to Mexico only to find the republic which had existed during his absence had made a law that his life should be forfeited should he again set foot on Mexican soil. He was selzed and put to death. This was in 1824. The family of the emperor came to this country, settling in Washington and Philadelphia. It was in Washington that the emperor's son, Angelo, met Miss Greene of Georgetown, and after their marriage they went back to the City of Mexico. It was there, in 1863, that the present Prince Augustine de Iturbide was born About a year later Maximillan, archduke of Austria, was called by the Mexican monarchistic party to come to this country and take possession, the monarchists offering him the throne of an emperor. Maximillan, who was aided by Napoleon III., accepted the invitation, landed in Mexico and was, for a time, an unhappy and poverty-streken monarch. The native Mexicans, however, revolted against a foreign sovereign. Maximillan was defeated, tried for treason, sentenced and shot. Maximillan, shortly before his death, declared that the young boy Augustine de Iturbide, was to be his heir, as he could thus combine in one person both native and foreign claims. After the death of Maximillan and the establishment of a republic for a second time, the Iturbides returned to Washington. Young Augustine was placed at Catholic colleges and also traveled abroad extensively. A man of wealth the most exclusive society of rat was his own and for many years he enjoyed the life of a social bristle. When the young man he returned home, he was incarcerated, entered the Macedonian prison, having issued a proclamation which was regarded as detention to the government, he was put in prison and sent so that now, while he had finally forbidden to set foot in his land, it would be unlawful to do so. The Third Order of St. Francis controls the military known as the Minutia of Saint Lukehro. While the priests were more rebellious, his life will be set and devotion and for all timely amusements. This order was founded in the Thirteenth century by St. Francis of Assisi, and numbers many thousands in its ranks, some of the members belonging to the mendicant orders. Growth Under Which Cortez Wept Has New Lease of Life. Kansas City, Mo.-The famous Noche Triste tree at Popotla, Old Mexico, has been given a new lease of life and it may survive for a few more centuries. It was on the night of July 1, 1520, that Cortez was driven with his army of Spanards out of the city and down the long causeway that leads to what is now Tacubaya. It was a night of sorrow for the great conqueror. It seemed that disaster had finally overtaken him and that his Beneath This Tree Cortez Wept Over His Defeat. plans for making a great empire in the new world must fall. His fleeing army was panic stricken. It is related that Cortez was unable to calmly bear the burden of his defeat and that when he reached the overspreading branches of this great-cypress tree, which even in that day is said to have been a giant among giants of the trees in the valley of Mexico, he sat down and wept. From that day to this the tree has been known as the tree of the sorrowful night. The age of the tree is problematical. It probably was hundreds of years old when Cortez made it a historic landmark. That happened nearly 400 years ago. The first evidence of decay of the tree was apparent about 30 years ago as a result of a fire which swept through the forest where it stood. Its trunk was seriously burned and its branches began to decay. The ancient tree gradually lost life and it was nearly dead when it was decided two years ago to make an effort to resuscitate it. A great hole had rotted in its trunk as a result of the burns which it had received at that spot. This cavity was scraped clean and was filled with cement. The dead wood on the upper trunk and branches was removed and careful treatment given every part of the big tree. In order to still further protect the historic tree an iron fence was built around its trunk to keep the vandals away from it. The tree began to put out new foliage and twigs last year, and this spring it is showing evidence of a complete rejuvenation. It seems to have begun a new growth in all of its branches and there is much rejoicing on the part of the people, who revere its age and wonderful history. CHICAGO PREACHER A BISHOP. Rev. Dr. W. A, Quayle Honored by Methodist Conference. Baltimore, Md.-Rev. Dr. William A. Quayle, who was elected a bishop of the Methodist church at the recent general conference held in this city, was born at Parkville, Mo., June 25, 1860. His parents were both of Manx birth. Dr. Quayle's early life was passed in Kansas, then in its pioneer stage. REV. W. A. QUAYLE and he received his education at Baker university at Baldwin City, from which he was graduated in 1885. Prior to his graduation he served as a tutor and in 1886 became adjunct professor of languages at that institution. In 1887 Dr. Quayle was appointed pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Osage City, Kan., but in the year following returned to the Baker university as a professor of Greek, a post he held for three years, when in 1890 he was elected president of the university. Dr. Quayle resigned the presidency of Baker university to accept the pastorate of the Independence Avenue Methodist Episcopal church of Kansas City, Mo., where he remained until he went to Chicago as pastor of St. James' Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Quayle is a well-known author and lecturer. He married Miss Allie Hancock Davis in 1886. NATIONAL CEMETERY ARLINGTON, BURIAL GROUND FOR COUNTRY'S HEROES. Site Once the Home of Robert E. Lee —Taken Possession of by United States at Outbreak of the Civil War. Washington.—The story of Arlington is interwoven with the story of America. The beauty and the solemnity of that national necropolis make a touching appeal to the thousands of pilgrims that annually visit it. The builder of Arlington house and its first occupant was George Washington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington. The wife of George Washington Parke Custis was Mary Lee Fitzhugh of Virginia and this lady was the first mistress of Arlington house. The daughter of George Washington Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitzhugh was Mary Ann Randolph Custis, who on June 30, 1831, was married at Arlington to Leut. Robert E. Lee, Engineer corps, U. S. A. Lieut. and Mrs. Lee continued to reside at Arlington and on the death of her father, March 26, 1855, Mrs. Lee inherited the estate. It was the home of Robert E. Lee and his family until April 22, 1861, when he left Richmond and it was on that day that Gov. Letcher and the convention of Virginia appointed Lee commander-in-chief of the military forces of Virginia. It was in December, 1778, that John Parke Custis of Abingdon bought from Gerald Alexander 1,100 acres of land opposite Georgetown, now a part of the city of Washington. The price paid was 1,100 pounds sterling. He called the new place Arlington in memory of the old Custis seat across Chesapeake bay. The Alexander family (hence the name "Alexandria") had bought 6,000 acres of land, including Arlington, for six hogsheads of tobacco from Robert Howson, who had ```markdown ``` Temple of Fame at Arlington. obtained the land from Sir William Berkeley, governor of Virginia, as a recompense for bringing immigrants to the colony. It was not long after the resignation of Robert E. Lee from the United States army and the withdrawal of the Lee family from Arlington that the United States government took possession of the place. The heights commanded Washington and their occupation by federal forces was loked upon as a military necessity. During the war camps and hospitals were scattered over that high country and on the Arlington estate. Men who died there were at the outset buried in the Soldiers' Home cemetery in Washington. However, in the spring of 1864 Gen. Rucker and Capt. James M. Moore reported that Arlington was a most eligible site for a national cemetery, and Gen. Montgomery C. Melgs, on May 13, 1864, ordered that interment be made there. On that day a number of men who died in the Arlington and surrounding hospitals were laid under the sod at Arlington. It is said that the first interment made at Arlington was that of the body of a confederate prisoner, L. Relnhardt, Twenty-third North Carolina infantry, who died of wounds received in battle. At the close of the civil war bodies were gathered from the battlefields of northern Virginia and from the old camp sites, and reinterred at Arlington. The graves of Arlington have been growing in number till there are now about 30,000 of them. More officers of the army and navy are buried there than in any other cemetery, perhaps in all other national cemeteries, in the United States. Soldiers and ex-soldiers and sailors have the right of burial at Arlington and beautiful grave sites are provided by the quartermaster's department of the army for officers and their wives. Early in 1814 Arlington was ordered to be sold for taxes and the place was bought by the national government for a toll fee. Mrs Lee died in 1873 without consigning the government's title but he, George Washington Curtis Lee, and he have the sale set aside as a will. The case finally was decided by the supreme court of the United States in favor of Lee. He then sold the estate to the government for $150,000. In the west part of the grounds are the mansion of Curtis, the builder of Arlington, and his wife. Over these graves are two marble monuments erected by their daughter, Mrs. Robert E. Lee. The memorial exercises held at Arlington May 30 every year are imposing and impressive. WOULD ACOLISH CONSTITUTION. Chicago University Professor Declares It Is Behind the Times. Chicago.—A revolutionary revision of, or even the abolition of the constitution of the United States was advocated by Prof. Charles Zuebilln of the University of Chicago at the recent annual banquet of Psi Upsilon alumni. His topic was "The Fundamental Fallacy of Our Government." Next to the foolishness of our institutions, he viewed with disgust the lack of intelligence of the electrate, declaring that the average Swiss PROF. CHAS. ZUEBLIN Ferdman is "thousands of feet above the average American college graduate or business man in political intelligence." "We have a habit of proudly applying to ourselves a phrase about 'government of the people, for the people, by the people,'" said the speaker. "We really think that it applies to us. We think that, we elect our president, but we do not. We think we are governed by a congress which we elect. In reality we elect the members of a pleasure club which meets in Washington and selects a speaker. Czar is a modest, inadequate term to apply to the speaker of the house. "Then there is the senate. The senate will be soon elected by popular vote. But why should they be elected at all? The senate is a sort of verform appendix to the body politic. In short, we are the most hide-bound unthinking people that ever were so conceited as to attempt self-government." He prophesied the coming of woman suffrage, and declared that workingmen now are practically as much disfranchised as women. Prof. Zuehlin urged home rule and the referendum as an eighteenth century document that by its influence is keeping our laws in the same century. He advocated its radical revision or its abolition and the substitution of an unwritten constitution, such as England works under. NEW CENTRAL RAILROAD OFFICE. Where Stockholders of Southern Pacific Hold Annual Meetings. Louisville, Ky.-The Southern Pacific Railroad company, a $300,000,000 corporation, has just completed a new central office, which is shown in the accompanying cut. This edifice, where the annual meetings of the stockholders representing hundreds of millions is held, was erected at an approximate cost of $100. It is situated Central Office of a $300,000,000 Corporation. just outside the city limits of Louisville, Ky., in the suburb of Beechmont, where J. B. Weaver, assistant secretary of the railroad, lives. The Southern Pacific company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Kentucky, and is required to maintain its main offices there. For years the state revenue agents of the state and of Jefferson county have sought to collect taxes from the Southern Pacific on its immense valuation, and even now suits for millions in taxes are pending against the road in various courts. Flight on Opium Traffic. An imperial decree issued by the Chinese government points out the evils of opium, and states that the British government has agreed to decrease its exportation for a trial period of three years in order to see whether the cultivation of the poppy and the number of opium smokers is lessened. Should such be the case, importation into China will be further decreased gradually. The decree orders the enforcement of existing regulations and the elaboration of further measures to deal with the evil. ```markdown ``` WILEY'S GREAT WORK HOOSIER SCIENTIST WHO HEADS BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY. Has Done More Than Any Other One Man to Place American Agriculture on Scientific Basis—Father of Pure Food Laws. Washington.—No branch of applied science has made greater progress during the last 25 years than agricultural chemistry and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, present chief of the bureau of Chemistry in the department of agriculture unquestionably has accomplished more than any other living man in the work of placing American agriculture on a more scientific basis, thereby adding enormously to the productiveness and wealth of the country. Scientific agriculture, or as it may otherwise be termed, agricultural chemistry, is a science of comparatively recent origin, and the Indiana man has been the leading spirit in it for nearly a generation. Prof. Wiley's interest in scientific agriculture began with his connection with Purdue university as professor of chemistry, in 1874, a year after his graduation at Harvard, when he was also appointed state chemist of Indiana. He remained at Purdue nine years. Dr. Wiley's connection with the government work began in 1883 when he was offered the position of chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture. The offer was accepted, and from that time the development of that bureau and its activities became Dr. Wiley's life-work. Today he is recognized as one of the world's great chemists, with a membership in many foreign and American scientific societies. Arriving in Washington to take up the duties of his new post, Dr. Wiley found his quarters confined to a laboratory in the basement of the antiquated agricultural department building and a little, office upstairs. His full working force consisted of four assistant chemists and a dishwasher. The first year's appropriation for the work of the bureau was $15,000. Dur- Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. ing the fiscal year which will end on June 30 of this year. Dr. Wiley finds himself in charge of a corps of 350 persons, 200 of them chemists, and the budget of the bureau will total $800,000. To-day the government also maintains 60 experiment stations which are now in operation in every state and territory, including Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Mere growth in expenditures would not necessarily argue increase of usefulness, but in the case of the department of agriculture its benefits to the farming interests and to the country at large have been immeasurably enhanced during the last 25 years. To these increased benefits the bureau of chemistry, of which Dr. Wiley is chief, has made large contributions. By the analysis of soils and the investigation of the effect of environment on the chemical composition of plants the bureau of chemistry was able to define the limits of sugar beet growing territory in the United States and open the way for the establishment of the beet sugar industry, which promises great results in the near future. In 1880 there were only four beet sugar factories in the United States, with an invested capital of $265,000 and an annual product valued at $282,572. In 1905 the factories numbered 51, the capital invested was $55,923,459, and the value of products was $24,393,794. From 1900 to 1905 the number of beet sugar factories increased 70 per cent; the capital invested in the business increased 177 per cent, and the value of the yearly output increased 233 per cent. Another service of inestimable value rendered to the country by the national bureau of chemistry is in starting and promoting the pure food and drug movement. If Dr. Wiley is not the father of that movement, he has been the head and front of it from the beginning. When he began work on that line, upward of 20 years ago, not a state in the union had a pure food law; now most of them have laws on the subject and commissions to enforce them. Dr. Wiley was the pioneer of the movement in America and he made chemistry a most effective instrument in promoting it. It was mainly through his efforts that the analysis of foods, drugs, spices, edibles and beverages showed adulteration to be an almost universal practice, and started a movement that has resulted in widespread reform. He is the father of the national pure food law, which took effect January 1, 1907, and chairman of the national commission for construing and enforcing it. SEEKS GEORGIA GOVERNORSHIP. Joseph Brown Conducting Gumshoe Campaign for Office. Atlanta, Ga.—Gov. Hoke Smith, who swept the state two years ago by an overwhelming majority, will not be reelected if Joseph Brown who, by order of Gov. Smith, was recently dismissed from the railroad commission, can prevent it. Mr. Brown's father was once governor of this state. Brown wants the governorship for himself and is conducting a gumshoe campaign that is increasing his following everywhere throughout Georgia. Not a single address has he made to the people he asks to make him JOE. BROWN governor. Ever since the fight started he has been spending his time in his apartments receiving reports, writing cards and consulting with friends. He would be no match on the stump for Hoke Smith, whose powers of endurance are the marvel of Georgia. All the attacks made upon Brown, all the shouts for him to come forth and give the public a view, have failed to bring him into sight, have failed to cause him outward irritation. Joe Brown is a man of about 55. He was born in Canton, Ga., was given a fair education in grammar schools and was then sent to the University of Georgia, and afterward took a legal course at Harvard. His education completed, he came home and went to work, at times aiding his father in his political fights. He began his railroad work in 1877, when he was hired as a clerk in the freight department of the Western & Atlantic road. He became general freight agent in 1881, general freight and passenger agent in 1884 and traffic manager in 1889. In the succeeding years he filled various railroad positions of responsibility. Mr. Brown was appointed a railroad commissioner and was ousted by Gov. Smith as the result of an alleged threatening note. Wonderful Feat of a Young New York Photo-Engraver. New, York.—The Lord's Prayer engraved in perfectly legible letters on the head of a common, ordinary pin—it doesn't seem possible, yet this is a feat that has been performed by William Stuart, a young photo-engraver, of this city. Mr. Stuart succeeded in putting the entire Lord's Prayer on the head of the pin, together with his name and the year, making a total of 267 letters. Even then Mr. Stuart did not "stretch" himself, but was content to stop when he had finished with the prayer and his name. By crowding Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name. The Kingdom come, thy name be gone on earth as it is heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debt's as we forgive our debts Lead us not to temptation but deliver us from evil For Thine is the Kingdom The Power and the Glory for ever and ever Amen W. STUART 1908 -N.Y. Pin Head Enlarged 784 Times. and filling up small gaps he could have cut in many more letters. The pin, looked at with the naked eye, seems merely to have a slightly roughened head. The letters can be read only with a magnifying glass. The work was done at odd times during a regular week's work. It would be supposed that such a feat required specially prepared tools of a very fine and expensive make. On the contrary, it was done with a common wood engraver's tool, known as a "No 1 elliptical picture tint" and costing ten cents, and an ordinary finder magnifying glass, such as is used in examining linen cloth, and which costs 25 cents. Mr. Stuart does not consider the Lord's Prayer engraving a remarkable feat as he once succeeded in putting 264 letters on a bank pin, which is smaller than the ordinary. Several years ago it was quite a fad to wear as watch charms gold dollars on which were engraved the Lord's Prayer. This was considered remakably fine work at the time, but the pln used by Mr. Stuart measured only one sixteenth of an inch in diameter. The photograph of the pln head presented here has been enlarged about 784 times. —————— ss a € ; | oaevian s PURLISERL <3 7 1109 Eye St, N. W., Wasnington, D. See W. €ALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

WHS OF IC MIVSL BULUEIOUS dali vindictive schemes of marking tha! ever existed now obtains in the colored schools, and will undoubt- edly demand an investigation by Congress next year. _ Whoever in- augurated stich a diabolical scheme certainly had,in mind to get even with teachers who have been ob- jectionable to the Administration of certain officials formerly con- nected with the public schools. The scheme of marking is a very treacherous one. The markers are supervising principal, colored, and assistants, in the colored schools. Supervisors who very seldom visit the schools of teachers sit in judg- ment on teachers whose schools they never visit. There are two supervisors who called at a certain -school and directed the teachers to mark them having made seven vis- its to the particular schoo} when they had not made but two. They ignored the principal of the build- ing entirely. Those two supervis- ors sit in judgment on this particu- Yar principal, and voted to mark her down. This is what teachers must contend with now. Another supervisor recommend- ed the promotion of an eight grade principal: to a large school, over the heads of those who are more deserving. This particular princi- pal is a pet of the supervisors and the individual who has been domi- neering over other eighth grade principals, = The Board of Education is in duty bound to call a halt to this wholesale favoritism in the colored public schools. The last Congress came very near abolishing the en- .tire system. The great trouble in our schools seems to emanate from certain officials in the colored schools and especially the super- .visitig principals, who could well be spared. The Bee has every reason to be- ligve that the next Congress will place the colored schools under one supervisor and abolish the offices of superrisors, The Bee is of the opinion that it would be best for the schools. ‘There is uv doubt of it. DR, WASHINGTON AND WHAT MORE? . The renegades among the vam- Pires of the colored American race have been charging Dr. Booker T. Washington with disloyalty to- ward his people. The Bee is thor- oughly convinced that Dr. Booker T. Washington is the greatest col- ored American living today. There may be men of his race who pro- fess loyalty and will fleece him if they can, but Dr. Washington has deen broad-gauged enough to for- give his enerhies for the benefit of his people, . That he is honest with his people cannot be denied. That he is do- ing and has done more for his peo- ple than any other colored Amer- ican cannot be denied. Hie is more loyal than many he places in high and honorable positions cannot be denied. Dr. Washington advo- cates equality of citizenship. What 1ore? He condersns the disfran-.. chisement of colored Americans. What more? He is a larger and more constant contributor to his people than any other colored Am- erican. What more? He advises colored Americans to establish business enterprises and save their money? What more? He has greater love and admiration for the dead heroes and statesmen of his race than any other colored American, What'more? He has pity for the knave, the sycophant, the grafter, the liar, and the scoun: ‘drel. What more? He advocate: industry and frugality. What more? He has built a monumen to the colored American race. What more? He elevates his deserving friends. Have other colored Am: ericans done likewise? If so, whe and where are they? Hasn’t he been hounded by suckers and _po- litical vampires? Oe The question has been asked Was, Senator J. B. Foraker be: trayed? Those who preteyded ‘friendship for Mr, Foraker and voted for Mr. Taft will certainly be regarded .as traitors. Men ought to be honest in pot: itics. Men should not pretend that they intend to do a thing, and then do something else. The question is, Was Senator Foraker betrayed? Will someone answer the question? . Since the Boston Guardian is the paid renegade of political vampires The Bee has no apology to make to The Star of Newport News, whose occupation is gone. The Guardian, like The Star, has been living upon the filth of humanity. Today both of them have played their final acts. - IS IT CHANCELLOR’S HAND? ‘There is an apparent revolution going on in the ‘colored schools. Some of the oldest and most faith- ful colored teachers have been de- moted and many of the favorites of supervising principals have been elevated to high positions. Some seem to think that it is the hand of Chancellor, formerly - siiperintend- ent of schools. Senators Burkart and Dolliver will certainly have something to do next December. The Colored High School should be investigated at once. - Tramps continue to be numerous in and around the police Court. Prof. H. M. Brown, of the Che- ney Hjgh School, is the coming man. . There are some people who are of the opinion that they own the schools, é Nothing has oeen heard of Trot- eer & Co, since the nomination of Mr, Taft. The colored contingent in the schools will hear something fall in a few weeks, , Perhaps the last District election will be ah eye-opener to disgrun- tled politicians. Perhaps the Negro National (?) League will retire to Aflantic City for the summer, Recorder J. C. Dancy never fail- to commend his chief. He never played under cover. Mr. Sidney Bieber is the Repub- fican member of the National Com- mittee. . Will the Board of Education continue to allow a few irrespon- sible individuals to run our public schools? The Democratic National Con- vention will no doubt name Mr. Bryan and uphold Southern dis- franchisement. Let the race produce just twelve more like Booker T. Washington, and it will be a moral, financial, nd political factor. : ‘cing THE BEE. , - ‘rom the Rock Hill Messenger, The Messenger congratulates ane WashingtonBee upon its entrance in- to its twenty-ninth year of existence.

Editor Bee: Dear Sir: i Let all of us second Mr, Wash- ington’s suggestion that next year the colored people of this country unite in holding a John Brown cel- ebration.

Will you please be very kind to the dumb animal entrusted to your care, remembering that God created them for our use, and not abuse? You all know hd® faithful and patient they are, taking everything that is heaped upon them, without a murmur; and they will toil for us until they drop dead in the harness. Many of them are in torture all day from ill-fitting harness, double bits, the high check; and those horses with docked tail: have no redress against the cruel flies. Then, add to all this the lash- ing of the whip, and sawing and jerk. ing of the mouth, These creatures sense suffering a: much as we do, and if any who read this are.cruel to animals, just put yourself in the animal’s’ place and think what the suffering would mean to you. As you hope for a happy hereafter, I beseech you to be mer- ciful to the dumb beasts. CC. es WITHOUT AUTHORITY, Attorney AW ,Scott Repudiates Him. Washnigton, D. C., June 24, ’08 Hon. W. Calvin Chase, Editor of The Washington Bee. Sir: I was surprised to receive through my mail today a letter from Mr. ‘W. C.Payne (postmarked Chicago) which contained a call for the “National Convention of the National Liberty Party” to ineet at Wheeling, W. Va., on August 3 nexf, for the purpose of nominating a ticket to be placed in the field against Secretary Taft. Permit me to, say through your paper that I have never authorized anyone whatsoever in any manner to use my name in connection with this movement. I have never even heard of such a movement until I received this letter. As you are well aware personally, I desired to see someone other than Secretary Taft nominat- ed for the presidency upon the Re- publican ticket; but now that he is nominated for the presidency, I, like all other good Republicans, am ready and willing to roll up my sleeves and do what little I can in my feeble way for the success of the ticket. And I . Tey Vie is ses og ee see a Ey ese iy ere q ie >. , ee. , Sie ee ee ES ES Ree Road mh 2h # i iaxe, Se be eS. eee Rains ote : ae Sos i “ATTORNEY A, W. SCOTT. desire to have it thoroughly under- stood that I have no sinister motive in taking this position. As you are well aware, I am no officeholder. I have a profession, and I thank God and my own push that have been fully able to live inde- pendently by it. But I have become so thoroughly disgusted with the par- ty of Heflin, Tillman, Vardaman and John Sharpe Williams that I do not see how any self-respecting Negro can do otherwise than support unre- servedly all of the Republican nomi- nees for whatever office they may be running and whoever and wherever they may be found. And certainly there is now fgthing else for the colored people of this country to do, since our idol, Senator Joseph B. Foraker, was one of the order requiring muzzles on dogs run- ‘first. to: congratutale, Secretary Taft upon his nomiantion and assured him that he is now his candidate and that he is now ready to go into the field and work for his success. I have, therefore, this day written to Mr. Payne a letter, a copy of which is as follows: Mr. W. C, Payne, My Dear Sir: I was uqite surprised today to receive a letter from you with my name upon the letter-head, and also upon a call for a convention to mect at Wheeling, W.” Va., on August 3 and 4 of this year. I take this means of informing you that I cannot affili- ate with this movement, and I hope that you will not further use my name in any form or manner whatsoever. I was very much opposed to the nom- ination of Mr, Taft, but’ now that he has been regularly nominated by a regularly assembled Republican Na- tional Convention, I see nothing else that we can do except to support the regular Republican ticket. You are certainly mistaken when you say that I gave you verbal permission to use my name in this manner. I remem- ter seeing you in Chicago at the band concert and dress parade of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, and on that occasion I met you and your wife in the hall and exchanged a few pleas- antries with you, and probably spoke of the heated contest which was then being waged in Chicago; but I cer- tainly did not discuss any such move- ment as this with you; neither did I in any manner authorize you to use my name in this connection, You know that I am in the law business, and I have practically no time to fool with politics. But I have long since concluded that even though the Republican party has nét done full justice by us, yet we cer- tainly have a great deal more to hope ‘for from it than we have from the Democratic party. .Of course, I have nothing to do with anything which you may do along this line. I believe in free thought, and I believe that every man has the right to think, act and vote as he chooses; but “as for! me and my, house,” I intend to stay with the Republican party. I shall, therefore, expect you to immediately correct this mistake and to withdraw my name from any connection with this movement. a Very respectfully, Armond W. Scott. IS THIS FAVORITIS*I? ‘there is a great deal of dissatis- faction among the teachers’ corps of the public schools on account of. the apparent favoritism. The question is, Will the supervising principals ex- plain? “John Nalle, the supervisor of the Thirteenth Division, has had assisting him the following teachers: Miss M. L. Washington, J. Walker, J. C. Brown, Miss J. C. Page, Miss Shor- ter, recently promoted. Dr. Bailey has been assisted by Miss Hebron and Miss A. E, Thomp- son. Dr. W. S. Montgomery has been assisted by Miss M. E. Gibbs. All of the above have been recom- mended for promotion, Miss Wash- ington has done no community work at all, but the superintendent, Mr. Bruce, informed a lady a few days ago that he would recommend her for the Mott School. Congress will, of course, investi- gate the above recommendations, It will be seen that these particular teachers who have been assisting the supervisors have been recommended for promotion over teachers of long- er standing and who have done great good in the schools and the commun- uty, as the people will testify. WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR. Among the remarks made by the Governor of North Carolina at the memorial services over dead Confed- erates at the Arlington, he said that we of the South did what any brave community would have done; we did that which we are proud of,and which we would do again for what we thought was right. (Secession.) He then added that the South had been wrongfully accused of treating Un- jon prisoners in an inhuman manner. The South cared for its prisoners the best it could. (We wonder if the Governor has forgotten Libby, An- dersonville, Castle Thunder and oth- er notorious Hades holes used by the rebels for their Union prisonecs.) Representative Sims of” Tennessee, the gent who wants the District of Columbia to have suffrage without the Negro, says let not the Southern people strive to attain wealth; rather seek and acquire the ideals of the Old South; these cannot be improv- ed upon, They say we erred in se- ceding, but there was not in the Con- stitution of any State a word against secession prior to 1865. At these nice remarks on a delicate matter ee observed that the President sent Aowers, and the Government fur- ‘nished the music. If these gentle- ‘men were in any other cemetery but the United States, it strikes us that their heads would pay the damage. If they were colored they would be put in prison. The youngest soldier in the Civil War was the Rev, A. C. White, of ‘the Universalist Church of Massa- chusetts. He, was born November 15, 1853; he enlisted as a drummer boy in Company D, Sixty-fourth Ohio Volunteer LInfantry in the fall of ‘61, aged eight years. The next was Eli Wright, of Youngstown, Ohio, who enlisted when he was but twelve years old. The organized militia as it now stands is a reserve force for the reg- ular army. The law also provides that all citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years who are not members shall be liable to military service. An order for a new election of pastor, deacons and trustees and clerk of the Colored Baptist Church of Georgetown on June 26 has been signed by Justice Clabaugh.

A great struggle is going on among the European powers for the Possession of Africa, which is be- ing sought after because of its time ber, mineral wealth, rubber, and age ticultural capabalities.

This goes to show that white is not the correct color in the eyes of the Almighty. The proper terms for the colored man of the United States should be Afro-American, colored Aemrican,or citizen, or colored man; but not Ne gro, as designed by the white press.

To clean osprey, a lather is made of white soap and tepid water. The feather is then taken in the left hand and dipped into suds. The right hand is drawn down from stem to tip time after time, till the osprey is quite clean. If black or white, it is then rinsed in clean tepid water tinged with blue. It must be constantly shaken until dry. HOW TO WASH MIRRORS. Soft Rag Dipped in Alcohol Will Keep Them in Condition. Some persons have a difficulty in keeping mirrors in proper condition, but a soft rag dipped in alcohol and wiped over the glass, that is afterwards rubbed dry, is all that is necessary when the mirror appears dim or spotted. For this purpose cheese cloth is best. When spots appear at the back of the mirror on the quicksilver it is generally for the reason that the glass is hung where a strong sunlight can rest upon it. At first tiny specks no larger than pin points make their appearance, then they spread, becoming larger and finally meet in a cloudy effect which cannot be remedied except by a repetition of the quicksilvering process. Damp walls are another source of damage to mirrors, for they, too, destroy the quicksilver. Frames can be kept in good condition by wiping often with a soft rag. If the frame is a good quality of gilding it may be washed with soap and water when necessary, but the cheaper, ordinary gilt frames should never be touched with water. When they begin to blacken a rag moistened lightly with turpentine will usually restore the gilding. TO REMOVE SPOTS FROM SILK. Combination of Gasoline and Talcum Powder Effective. It is said that spots on silk can be cleansed with gasoline and no mark will be left if the dampened spots are covered with talcum powder and brushed when perfectly dry. One might make the experiment on a piece of cloth, for it is always best to understand cleaning methods before risking the art on fine material. One thing is quite certain: Fuller's earth if sprinkled over grease marks on delicate silk will clean the blemishes and leave no marks. It should be allowed to remain on the material for several hours. A good way to clean a net or lace waist is to put it in a heavy pillow case and sprinkle it quite lavishly with flour and cornmeal. Take the bag into the yard and shake it vigorously, but not enough to injure the lace. It can be left in the bag for several days. Take out the waist and shake free from dirt and flour mixture. In most cases the waist will not only be perfectly clean, but the lace will be light and fluffy looking. Furs can be cleaned in the same manner if they are of light color, though the dark ones will look better if cleaned by a hot cornmeal process. THE Bee. To Clean Osprey. St. Lukes P. E.

When the jelly season comes—and it will soon be here—make many small wine glasses of jelly. These glasses can be bought for five cents apiece and the small glass of jelly is very useful. One may want to take a glass for individual purposes with a luncheon while travelling, a glass can be put into the luncheon basket for the schoolgirl or boy and a dainty wineglass of jelly is always acceptable to the invalid. One of the most appetizing jellies is grape, though currant is well liked for its mild acid flavor and berry jellies are delicious. There is a fruit preserve, very delicious, for filling these tiny glasses, too. It is made by making a thick candy and when it is of the same consistency that one makes candy fondant, drop the berries in it, leave for a few minutes, but not long enough to separate the berries, then hastily fill the glasses and cover with paraffin. Do not attempt to make more than a quart at a time, for the work must be watched and carefully done. Red velvet berries will preserve whole in this manner and will not lose shape. AGAIN THE YORKSHIRE PUDDING. Directions for Its Preparation In Still Another Way. Yorkshire pudding is a hallowed dish in many English families. It is often an accompaniment of roast beef, and in response to a request for a recipe the following is reported from a century-old note left by a cook: Take six tablespoonfuls of flour, with three eggs, a teaspoonful of salt and a pint of milk, so as to make a middling stiff batter, a little stiffer than you would for pancakes; beat it up well and take care it is not lumpy; put a dish under the meat and let the drippings drop into it till it is quite hot and well greased; then pour in the batter. When the upper surface is brown and set, turn it, that both sides may be brown alike. If you wish it to cut firm, and the pudding an inch thick, it will take two hours at a good fire. 'The true Yorkshire pudding is about half an inch thick when done, but it is the fashion in London to make them full twice that thickness. Caramel Custard. Put one-half cupful of sugar in a smooth frying pan and stir until it melts and becomes a rich cinnamon color. Pour it into a pint of rich milk or thin cream that has been scalded, add a teaspoonful of vanilla, a salt-spoonful of salt and a half cup of sugar and let it simmer until the col- hear then her words... so ten ... der, Near bar in the grave, in my home. trägt man auch mich bin rum Fried - bef, Soakt in die Gruft mich bin - zh. smorz. colla voice. sugar is absorbed. Set away to cool. When cold add the beaten yolks of eight eggs, strain to be sure it is smooth; pour into baking cups and set in a pan of hot water and bake until firm. Serve cold. This will make eight cups. Or make a plain custard, using less sugar than usual; then stir in two or three tablegpoonfuls of caramel made in this way: Put two cups of granulated sugar in a clean saucepan, set on the back of the range and stir until it browns. Pour into it slowly one cup of boiling water, and when dissolved put into a can for future use. It keeps indefinitely. It is nice served as a sauce with the custard or with apple dumplings. Venice Pudding. Five ounces of stale bread cut into small pieces, three ounces of lea peel, three ounces of sugar, three ounces raisins. Pour a little orange juice over this and stew awhile. Put a little butter into a pan with a little milk, three or four lumps of sugar. Stir until turned a light, brown. Take four eggs and beat, then make a custard with these, and the buttered milk, also the remainder of a pint of milk; mix these well with all the others, put into a buttered mould, and stand in a saucepan of boiling water. Boil for three or four hours until firm in the center. Turn out and serve with a good sauce. Orange Cake. This is a good orange cake: One cup sugar, two tablespoons melted butter, two eggs, one teaspoon soda, two teaspoons cream tartar, two-thirds cup milk, two cups flour, juice and rind of one orange; bake in square pans; when done sandwich together with white of another egg, one cup powdered sugar, and rind of one orange and frost with the yolk of the egg and five heaping tablespoons powdered sugar and orange juice stirred together; frost cake while hot. Apple Popovers. One cupful of flour, one-fourth level teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of milk, one egg well beaten, one-half teaspoonful of melted butter, apple sauce. Stir together the flour and salt and add the milk, egg and butter. Beat for two minutes with an egg beater. Pour into hissing hot buttered iron gem pans and bake for 35 minutes in a hot oven. When done make a small opening in the top of each and fill with apple sauce, which has been gifted. Serve with lemon sauce. Lemon Jelly. Two lemons, two eggs beaten separately, one and one-half cups sugar, two teaspoonfuls of flour; boll, taking care not to burn it; best way is to boll in double boiler. Serve cold with cake.

To Cleanse Knives. A new knife washer is designed to Jessen the work of the housekeeper or the maid and to make this part of the housework a little pleasanter than it has been. The washer {s easier on the knives than the old method of im- guersing them in hot water. The In. genicus device has a removable Inside frame. which holds two dozen Enives in an upright position. The skeleton frame fits inside a cylindrical tn, and into this ts poured the water, to which should be added a little washing soda.

Precautions Necessary When Disinfecting Room—Simple Method of Breaking Cold Quickly—Easily Made Poultry. In entering a room in which a disinfectant has been burning for several hours one should cover the mouth and nose with a wet cloth to shut out the fumes. Care should be taken that the windows were not locked before the sulphur is started, as otherwise they cannot be opened quickly and it is dangerous for a person to remain long in the stifling atmosphere: If the windows are on a porch or roof they should be opened after disinfecting from the outside, thus avoiding all danger to the opener. To Break a Cold Quickly.—In addition to the ordinary precautions to break a cold, such as taking a few grains of quinine when first felt, or six or ten drops of camphor on a lump of sugar if the cold be in the head, it is well to live carefully till the disease is conquered. Drink plenty of water, eat sparingly, avoid coffee and other stimulants and be careful not to overfatigue yourself or expose yourself to draughts. This does not mean, however, living in hermetically sealed rooms, as colds usually flee more quickly if one has plenty of fresh air. A Convenient Poultrice.—When for any reason, a poultrice is necessary, one made of potatoes is excellent, as it retains the heat so long; moreover, it is very simply made. Make two square bags of muslin of convenient size, according to the part afflicted. Half fill these bags with potatoes that have been freshly peeled and put them on to boll. When tender mash the potatoes in the bag and apply it to the patient, using it as hot as it can be stood without blistering. While the other is cooling crush the potatoes in the second bag and have it ready to use when the first is taken off. This should be returned to the boiling water to heat up again. TRY THIS NEW METHOD. Cooked Salad Dressing as it is Made by an Expert. While every housekeeper has her own way of making a cooked salad dressing, here is a little different way of combining it, as advised by Miss Barrows of Teachers' college: It has two parts, one a soft boiled custard.
