VOL. XXIX NO22 The Black Rossius The Black Rossius THOUSANDS HEAR RIM. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury is now filling assignments throughout the West and middle West States. His itinerary beginning in New York and New England has taken him through Pennsylvania, Ohio and out through Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Dispatches state that he is now filling assignments through Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, speaking nightly to large crowds and having successful meetings. The National Committee has not been able to send him to many sections of the country which have desired his servicse. His efforts in this campaign have been most effective and he is contributing greatly to the success which is sure to come to the national ticket. From the St. Louis Daily Globe. The largest and most enthusiastic Republican rally for colored voters in St. Louis in many years was held last night at Abyssinia Hall, 16 South Tenth St., where not less than 6000 colored citizens assembled. The gathering filled the street around the hall for a block in each direction. An overflow meeting was necessary before the main meeting was begun in the hall, which was unable to hold one-third of the crowd that sought admission. The occasion was a reception to and an address by Rev. Dr. William T. Vernon, the colored register of the United States treasury, who is making a series of speches in the West, in ealf of the Republican party and its candidates. The meeting was opened by C. K. Robinson, president of the Missouri Negro Republican League Club and Precinct Organization, under whose auspices the meeting was held. Mr. Robinson introduced Rev. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church, colored, who presided. REGISTER W. T. VERNON. Dr. Harris made a rousing speech, in which he said, in explanation of his action as a minister in taking a leading part in a political demonstration: "There are crises in the life of the people that call for every man who has a spark of manhood or self-respect to align himself with the masses of the people for the common let me make a comparison: Two years my people as to their political status in Missouri to-day. My heart and soul are enlisted in this campaign on the side of justice and righteousness. I have a solemn duty to perform, and I do not apologize to any man for daring to do it. I never before made a political speech in my life, or have received a dollar of compensation for the discharge of a political duty, but mean to do my share to bring victory to the Republican party in this campaign." Vernon Is Cheered. The entry of Dr. Vernon into the hall was the signal for wild applause and cheers that lasted ten minutes, pathetic touch with the local and When it was announced that, owing to the large crowd on the street unable to gain admission, Dr. Vernon would address an overflow meeting first, many tried to get outside to hear this speech, but were prevented by the crowd. William T. Findly, Republican candidate for Congress in the Eleventh District, was introduced while Dr. Vernon was outside and delivered a stirring address on national issues. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library. While Mr. Findly was speaking, Dr. Vernon returned to the platform and the demonstration in his honor was renewed, and was kept up until he was introduced and began his speech. Dr. Vernon spoke for two hours, covering all the national issues in a detailed account of the doings of the leading political parties for the past fifty years; comparing the history of the Republican and Democratic legislation and showing that what has affected the interests of the white man has also affected the interests of the black man. He compared the personal character and career of Taft and Bryan, and quoted from each to show their exact attitude toward the Negro race. He compared the silence of the Democratic platform with the encouraging expression of the Republican platform, which demands justice for all men, regardless of race or color. He paid a high tribute to the character and public services of Herbert S. Hadley, whose election as governor of Missouri, by a handsome majority, he predicted. In conclusion, he said: Praises Taft and Roosevelt. Judge Taft stands squarely on the Republican platform. True to his family tradition, true to his early environment, true to his broad comprehensive method of dealing with all men, regardless of race or color, he has declared for equal and exact justice to all our citizenship with his party committed to the guaranteeing of the fullest opportunity to the race, with his great personality, judicial temper, and ideals of justice, with his specific declarations of friendship to the Negro and his sympathy for us in our efforts to rise, we will serve our country and preserve our race by placing him in the White House to guide the affairs of the Republic. He will continue the great work of Theodore Roosevelt, who has found time in the midst of his great achievements to make innovations by the appointment of Negroes to places of responsibility and trust throughout all sections, to persistently give opportunity to Negroes to demonstrate their capabilities along the higher lines. To continue this era of unprecedented prosperity let us elect as his successor, the great lawyer, just judge faithful public servant and friend of all mankind, Judge William H. Taft. Associated with him in the highest type of American citizenship is James Schoolcraft Sherman. With unbounded faith in the patriotism, integrity and sound common sense of the American people, I predict a triumph of these distinguished citizens at the polls in November. Pushing The Work BUSINESS LEAGUE ACTIVITIES Visible Success of President Pittman's Campaign The Bee has already referred in its last week's issue to the meeting of the local Negro Business League, which was held on the evening of Oct. 21st, at True Reformers' Hall. This meeting was very largely attended, and many names were added to the new financial list which the executive committee has authorized the president to establish in an effort to determine and maintain the exact status of every member in good standing. It seems that PresidentPittman has determined to follow out the spirit and letter of that part of the Constitution that provides for regular monthly meetings of the League, and he is going still further in many other ways towards making the meetings of great interest and usefulness to its members and to the community at large. Each month he is bringing in some prominent and successful business man of our race, and at the same time is developing great enthusiasm among the more successful of the local business men. At the last meeting the League was very highly entertained by Col. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Virginia, the man who successfully wrung from the United tates Congress an appropriation of $100,000 for a separate race exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. Col. Jackson speaks as a man of broad experience; every word was helpful. We listened to a very timely and enthusiastic discussion of the TO HELL WITH THE LAW WE KILLED THEM WE SHOT THEM WE STUFFED THE BALLOT BOXES I WILL NOT SAY BABOONS I BELIEVE, THEY ARE MEN BUT SOME OF THEM ARE SO NEAR KIN TO THE MONKEY THAT THE SCIENTISTS ARE YET LOOKING FOR THE MISSING LINK I TAKE MY SHOT GUN AND KILL ANEGRO ANY TIME I AM A CIVILIZED MAN THE MORE CONSERVATIVE AND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE HURCHY MURDER AND DEMOPOLITICS FAMOUS SHOT GUN SOCKERS MONEY F.M.C.

Francis, one of the leading physicians of the District. Among others who were out-spoken and urgent in their desire for mutual interest among colored people, were Rev. Dr. William Howard, minister of one of the largest Baptist churches of this city, Dr. Chas. H. Marshall, Geogretown's leader of prominence, John W. Lewis, President of the Laborers' Building and Loan Association, Mr. Joseph Manning, contractor and many others. Each month it is the purpose of president Pittman, as outlined in his talk at the meeting, to have one or TAKE A LOOK TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIRUM TREMENS—T WHETHER THE DE FRIEND OR NOT. more of the local men appear on the program at each meeting and lead in the discussion of some feature of the great problem of business cooperation. Chief W. R. Griffin of the True Reformets', the financial secretary, was on the job and made good time with the generous-hearted. It is the greatest hope of the Bee that our local Negro Business League lead by its new president, W. Sidney Pittman, continue in this new move, and make for the city of Washington a record which all other Leagues, affiliated with the National Negro Business League, would enviously follow. Let all the business men and women and all well thinking people lend him assistance. He is trying to give us what the people need. The Bee is with the president in his strenuous effort to keep the League up to its highest standard, and every officer connected with the League should feel it his or her highest duty to do his or her part and more. IN NEW YORK. Brooklyn N. Y. Oct. 22.—One of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Brooklyn was that held last night at which Judge Robert H. Terrell, James A. Cobb and Auditor R. W. Tyler, were the principal speakers. All made telling speeches and were applauded to the echo. The enthusiasm was great, and at every mention of the names of Taft and Hughes the great audience of two thousand people fairly went wild. Attorney Alfred Cowen, who presided stated that there never was such an enthusiastic colored Republican meeting held in Brooklyn before. When the meeting was over the people crowded around the speakers, and showered them with congratulations. Booker Washington THE NEGRO AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE SOUTH. To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education of our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 per cent. of our people live. In a recent trip through the TO HELL WITH THE MONKEY WE KILLED THEM WE SHOT THEM WE STUFFED THE BALLOT BOXES I WILL NOT SAY BABOONS I BELIEVE ARE MEN BUT SOME OF THEM ARE SOME KIN TO THE MONKEY THAT THE SUN ARE YET LOOKING FOR THE MISSING I WILL TAKE MY SHOT GUN AND KILL ANY TIME I AM A CIVILIZED MAN GUN F.M. G. THIS UGLY MONSTER IN HIS THEN PASS YOUR OWN JUDG DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE NE state of Maryland I was surprised to find, for example, that there were rural communities almost within sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-half months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole, it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouses, or no schoolhouses, little apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know counties where Negro teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and out of this they must board themselves. This means practically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind weal, and such a crisis exists among and with what remains to be done, ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Negro child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such rate does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents --- and leaders get into close and sym- county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and another. You, yourselves, must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you. We must in a firm, conservative and yet polite manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. LAW THEM ES WE THEY NEAR Scientists MING WITH NEGRO AN THE MORE CONSERVATIVE AND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE HIRCHY MURDER AND DEPOPULATION SUSKERS MONEY GONAN IS DE- GMENT NEGRO'S In some way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teachers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organizing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also the season of the year when they are tempted to throw away thousands of dollars in unwise directions. I urge you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education of our children. Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate county. Booker T. Washington Tuskegee Institute, Ala., October 1, 1008 JUDGE HEWLETT Wilmington, Del.—Judge E. M. Hewlett of Washington, D. C., is delivering some very effective speeches in this state. He declared in a meeting of white and colored Republicans this week that the state would go Republican notwithstanding the oratory of colored Democrats. Read The Bee. Mr. J. E. McGirt says that his magazine will be published quarterly hereafter, instead of monthly. Miss E. Glenn, who was suddenly called to the bedside of her mother in Taft, Ohio, had just begun her studies at Howard University. It is rumored that Bishop Walters had a private car to make his tour of Kentucky in the interest of the Democratic party. Bishop Walters needs a private car to protect himself from the very people who form a large percent of the Democratic party, the party the Rev. Bishop is trying to represent. The Bishop has had presumably three births: into the world, into the Church of Christ, into the Democratic party. Wonder what will be his next, and when! Colored Republicans travel through the South in special cars; but why should colored Democrats? Women have comparatively little or no influence in State or religious affairs of today. It can be no longer said that the "hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" for cradles have gone out of fashion. The Kansas Apreciator states that Rev. Douglass of this city is conducting a very successful meeting at the Ninth Street Baptist Church at Fort Smith. The Chicago Defender calls Mr. W. Allison Sweeney the "present day Frederick Daugloss." President Roosevelt was the recipient of many congratulations last Tuesday, which was the fiftieth anniversary of his birth. The Postmaster General has issued a fraud order against Rev. William E. Rutledge, East St. Louis, Ill., for failure to comply with advertisements which he published in his paper, the Weekly Message. Union workmen will be employed to complete the million dollar home of Mr. O. H. P. Belmont, in this city. Mr. Belmont supposed only such had been employed. A committee which has been for the past six years working with the Associated Charities formed a new organization last Monday night, to be known as the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in the District of Columbia. Lawyer B. Marshall called at the White House the first part of the week in search of information concerning the case of his client, Mingo Sanders who is night watchman at the new Senate annex. The National Headquarters Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, located in Philadelphia, cost $120,000, and is said to be one of the finest in the world. Gipsy Smith has been laboring in Convention Hall for the salvation of the white folk of Washington, but had to visit a colored church to work for the salvation of the colored sinner. FOR THE GOOD OF IT is the opinion of the Bee that John C. Nolle and W. L. Baily should be removed from the supervising principalship for the good of the service. There are too many complaints made against them by the teachers to be passed unnoticed. MR. PATTISON IN DELAWARE John W. Pattison, the well known colored orator of Maryland, who has been stumping Delaware for Taft and Sherman, declares that the colored voters of that state are right in line. The talk of their supporting Bryan he labels pure nonsense. "There was some talk of an independent movement in Delaware and for awhile those who started it appeared to be accomplishing something. But the level headed colored men of the state saw how foolish it would be for our race to vote the Democratic ticket and their influence was dominated. Now the colored Democratic forces are rapidly growing smaller and a child will be able to count their votes on Election Day." Maryland, Pattison says, is safe for Taft. Hardly a colored man in that state; in his opinion will vote the Democratic ticket. Music by Mona Davison. 1. You tell of your sweethearts in song and in story. Give me a chum... If you're 2.

Millinery ranks fourteenth among the pursuits in which women are engaged as breadwinners. It is a distinctly woman's occupation, 94.4 per cent. of all milliners in the United States being women. Only two occupations have a larger proportion of women: dressmaking, with 97.5 per cent., and housekeeping with 94.7 per cent. Seamstresses are 91.9 per cent. of them women. These four occupations were the only occupations in which women constitute over nine-tenths of all persons employed. Almost nine-tenths of the women milliners are native whites. In large cities more than half the milliners were under 25 years of age. Probably when they exceed that age they marry and if they remain in business it is done in the husband's name and the census credits him with being a merchant. In 1890 there was one milliner to every 323 women 15 years of age and over. In 1900 one to every 285. This change is thought to reflect the advance in the prosperity of the country, since millinery to a certain extent is a luxury, and in family budgets forms an item that probably responds quickly to fluctuations in income. If the manual training schools and technical institutions continue to run out milliners in the next ten years as they have in the last decade there will be one milliner to every hundred women, and in the not far distant future. Lifting Power of Plants. Experiments of a peculiar character have just been carried out at several of the noted agricultural colleges of the United States, the object being to ascertain the lifting power of growing plants of different species. Farmers are well acquainted with the fact that the roots of trees will disrupt and sometimes overturn a stone wall, but the lifting power of tender vegetables is equally surprising. The one result which has, perhaps, attracted the greatest attention is the discovery that a weight of two and a half tons can be lifted by the common American pumpkin in the course of its development. Dr. Carpenter relates the story of a paving stone, weighing eighty-three pounds, that was raised from its bed (when joined by others on all four sides) by such a soft piece of fungi as the common mushroom. And still another and more remarkable instance is recorded. A man, having a cask of sweet wine, placed it in an empty cellar to mature. When examined several years gives you his hand, and you face it together, Your good old chum! ... Chum of hand-clasp will soothe all the pain and the aching, Your dear old chum! ... Chum of mine, dear old pal of mine, ... He never will falter, He never will alter, What ever the weather, in cloud or shine ... And what will may come, let misfortune come, What ever be tide He will stand by my side, And we'll face it to gether, my dear old chum... later it is risen from the floor of the cellar to the ceiling, having been borne upward from the tender shoots of a vine fungus with which the cellar was filled. Fits Them All. Once when Rudyard Kipling was a boy he ran out on the yardarm of a ship "Mr Kipling!" volle! a scared sailor.

Blondes, catch everything, but brunettes get off easy." Natural Advantages. At an evening party they were playing a game in which everybody in the room makes a face, and the one who makes the worst face is awarded a prize.

Hershaw has discovered that Booker T. Washington is a statesman and that he can be "courageous, strong and clear" on problems affecting the Negro people. We thought there was hope for Mr. Hershaw when he broke with Monroe Trotter. A democratic victory in West Virginia, where some of our best and thriftiest colored people live, would mean the enactment of a jim-crow car law and the passage of an amendment to the constitution abridging the suffrage of the Negro. With this fact staring him in the face, how can any self-respecting Negro vote the Democratic ticket? Col. Matt. N. Lewis, than whom BEE LINERS. Senator Foraker had no more loyal champion, is pouring out come good old Taft doctrine at Newport News, Va., through the twinkling Star. William Jennings Bryan denies that he made any promise to that colored delegation, looking to a division of the federal patronage in exchange for Negro votes. He says he is sticking close to the Denver platform. The Denver platform is silent on the subject. Mr. Bryan is bound in honor to respect the things which the p'atform omits as we'll as things that it promises. Charlie Anderson's resolution endorsing Taft was passed with a whoop by the New York state convention at Saratoga Monday, and the congratulations extended in recognition of his fifty-first birthday was a neat compliment to the Republican nominee which the entire country, regardless of race, will heartily approve. Mr. Anderson's voice was the voice of the Negro masses of the Empire State. The reduced Republican plurality in Maine need alarm no one.

Davis, The Brownsville issue is the propon just and equitable lines by the Republicans in that body. The Republicans are the soldier's friends; the Democrats are against them root and branch. The Negro press is practically a unit for the Republican ticket. The majority of the race papers are carrying the names of "Taft and Sherman" at their editorial mast-heads. 'Tis well. The Western Enterprise, published at Colorado Springs, Col., by the brilliant E. P. Booze, is giving Judge Taft some very effective support. So is the Omaha Enterprise, the Topeka Plaindealer, and the Mosaic Guide, of Little Rock, Ark. Senator Foraker's loyalty to the Republican cause is unquestionable. He will do his whole duty by Judge Taft in the campaign. Will the colored men who profess to be his friends desert him and follow Bryan into the camp of the party that would nullify everything the Ohioan has tried to do for them. The guns of the Negro Democrats have been "spiked." There will be no fight, for the ammunition of the enemy has been watered by the Niagara of truth. The Mosaic Temp'ars, one of the strongest fraternities of the race in the Southwest, in national convention assembled at Paducah, Ky., adopted resolutions favorable to the candidacy 01 William Howard Taft. The unanimity of the endorsement among the delegates representing a constituency of more than 100,000 thrifty and industrious Negroes is an indication of Judge Taft's firm hold upon the confidence of our people. The Bishops of the Methodist churches are practically a unit for Taft. They are not office-holders or office-seekers. Their positions are assured for life. They have no selfish purpose in view when they advise their followers to stand by the Republican ticket. They can afford to be patriots and their sage counsel will be heeded in preference to that of men who advocate Deimocracy for a price. The "Campaign of Education" is going on with a rush. In naming Harry S. Cummings as the representative of the State at large at the National Negro Fair, at Mobile, Governor Crothers of Maryland pays a just tribute to one of his most reliable constituents and gives honorable recognition to a movement that promises to be the best exhibit of Negro genius and material advancement that the country has yet seen. Councilman Cummings, President H. N. Newsome and Governor Crothers are all to be congratulated over this very gratifying episode. The "strictly business" methods of Chairman Hitchcock and his advisory committee are giving no comfort to the professional grafters who have heretofore held up the Republican campaign managers and made them "cough up" money for the goods they a quarter of a century—there has lixir Babek for Malaria and such have used it with most gratifying v.

"Prof. DuBois" may know all about sociology, anthropology and mythology and no doubt has more than a speaking acquaintance with Greek roots and Latin idioms, but when it comes to politics, he is as much out of place as a whale in the desert of Sahara. No amateur can begin after forty with a hope of successfully "playing the game" with seasoned veterans as opponents. The clever politician keeps his business to himself.

A vote for Bryan is a vote for Lynching and Disfranchisement. Northern Negroes who may be inclined to vote for Bryan, lynching and disfranchisement, ought to be interested in the dispatch from Mississippi telling how a mob would not permit the bodies of two negroes who had been lynched to be cut down until a train bearing Booker T. Washington had passed and the celebrated Negro educator had been a witness from a car window of the cruel spectacle. Booker T. Washington is noted for the moderation of his utterances, and it cannot be claimed that he has ever given provocation violence. His abilities and energies are devoted to the uplifting of his race along educational and industrial lines, and he is esteemed by intelligent whites as well as blacks. Yet the prejudice which aims to keep the Negro down politically and socially could not spare Booker T. Washington, and the object of theMississippi lynchers, every one of whom no doubt will vote for Bryan, was evidently to distress and humiliate that famous and talented Negro. The colored man in Ohio, New York or any other state who votes for Bryan and against Taft and a Republican administration, indorses the crimes of lynching mobs and helps to make it harder than ever for the southern colored man to maintain his self-respect and escape insults and violence. World Record Established. The intelligent Negro does not worship false gods. He is thoroughly familiar with the condition of his brother in the south, where Democracy is in the saddle. He knows that at heart the leaders of the Democratic party do not wish his association in politics, but only hope to use him and disgruntle him against the Republican party, in order that they may, without benefit to him, be elevated into power. It does not need the declaration from the Democratic party tht it is a white man's party, to convince the Negro with any brains that his interest and future welfare and that of his race lie in the hands of the Republican party. In Uncle Sam's Service. Under the kindly fostering care of the Republican party., that wiped the stain of slavery from the Stars and Stripes, with the blood of statesmen, the colored race has established a world's record in the progress of civilization and enlightened, aggressive citizenship. Today colored men and women, to the number of 13.978 are occupying positions in the Government service under Republican administration, and draw in the aggregate, the sum of $8,032, 355 annually from the public treasury. They are to be found in every position, from that of common laborer to that of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Their salaries range from $600 to $10,000 a year, the latter sum being paid to our colored EnvoyExtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Haiti. Perhaps few colored people are aware that the number of Afro-Americans in the service of the Government, exclusive of the Army and Navy, has more than doubled in the last four years, under a Republican administration. Their aggregate pay has been increased from $3,000,00 in 1904 to more than $8,000,000 in 1908. Plank in Republican Platform. The present Republican platform contains this plank: "The Republican party has been, for more than fifty years, the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. "We demand justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement, in letter and in spirit, of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American, and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." The Hon. William H. Taft, in a speech in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, recently said: "What the Negro and his friends demand is equality of enforcement of the law under the Constitution." Contrast these kindly sentiments of Republicans with the following from Democratic sources. W. J. Bryan in his speech at New York, 1908, said: "The white man in the South disfranchised the Negro in self-protection; and there is not a Republican in the North who would not have done the same thing under the same circumstances. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary, to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpet-bag rule." Hoke Smith, who was a member of Cleveland's cabinet, and who is at present Governor of Georgia, said: "I favor the elimination of the Negro from politics, and if I am elected I will urge this with all my power." Senator Tillman, in a speech in the 59th Congress said: "Some of the Negroes are so near akin to the monkey that scientists are still looking for the missing link." With defeat staring it in the face, without a real, virile issue except those embodied in the "Peerless One," Democracy is struggling to win in this present campaign, with the Negro vote in the North and without the Negro vote in the South. This seems to be the crowning climax of political idiocy. The Negro, disfranchised in the South by the Democratic party, is expected to lick the hand that smites him, execute an about-face movement, and aid the Democrats in swinging Republican states of the North into the hands of his Democratic oppressors! From the day of its birth, the Democratic party has not only halted its boasted Democracy at the color line, but has bragged about it. There is not a law on the statute books today for the benefit and protection of the Negro that was not placed there by the Republicans in spite of the opposition of the Democrats. World's Record of Progress. Under the Republican policies the Negro race has flourished as no race ever flourished before in the history of the world. The illiteracy of the race at the time of emancipation was almost complete. When the census of 1900 was taken, it showed that this illiteracy had been reduced to about 44 per cent. Italy today has 38 per cent. of illiteracy; Spain 68 per cent.; and Portugal 79 per cent; These are all white countries with centuries of civilization behind them. There are 40,000 Negro students in higher institutions of learning, pursuing all branches from trade to classical and scientific courses. Forty thousand colored youths have graduated from secondary insti from colleges. The race has developed 30,000 teachers, 16,000 clergymen, 1,700 physicians and surgeons, 1,000 lawyers and 400 journalists and literary people. It has 200 institutions for higher education in the United States. In 1904 it owned property amounting to $1,100,000. In 1900 the farm property belonging to Negroes was valued at $200,000,000. It operates 746,715 farws and owns 187,797 farms, or about 25 per cent. of the total. This is not a bad showing for a race which the Democrats declare to be unfit for citizenship. The instincts of self-preservation demand that the American Negro vote for Taft and Sherman and a continuance of the Republican policies. NOTHING TO OFFER. William J. Bryan and his national Democratic campaign committee are covertly attempting to secure the support of Negro voters. In this extremity to force Mr. Bryan's election upon the country, his campaign managers find themselves close to a powder magazine. They fully understand the attitude of Democrats in southern states on the Negro question, and know that these Democrats would rebel against affiliation with Negroes. Mr. Bryan and his managers, however, are hopeful that they may utilize a certain portion of the Negro votes in northern Democratic states, and even in Northern Republican states, without it being discovered by the Democratic voter of the South. It would be interesting to know in detail just whatMr. Bryan and his managers are offering Negroes in exchange for their votes. If it be patronage, the Southern Democrat will have a reckoning on that score at a later day. If patronage has been promised with no intention of keeping the promise, Mr. Bryan and his managers would stand discredited as tricksters and political swindlers. If not patronage, the only other offer would be money, and it cannot be believed that Mr. Bryan would indulge in that kind of thing. The truth is, Mr. Bryan and his managers have nothing to offer the Negro in exchange for his vote. They cannot give the Negroes office, and they would not dare to give them anything else, even if the Negro would be willing to accept it. Bruce L. Keenan, of Talequa, nominee for presidential elector on the Republican ticket in Oklahoma, addressed not long ago a letter to Mr. Bryan that put the latter's sincerity to a severe test. Mr. Bryan received the letter, but did not reply to it. Keenan pledged himself to vote for Mr. Bryan if the latter would make public his views on any of seven proposals. Mr. Keenan's offer was as follows: No.1. State if you approve in a general way the course of southern sentiment on the race question, as indicated by constitutional and legislative enactments on the suffrage question respecting franchise, and if you would approve of a change in the national consitution so that this program could be said to be within and not without the constitution. If you approve of this course of your southern allies, I will support you for having the courage to say so; if you do not ap- prove of this course of the "solid south," and will say so, I will support you for having the courage to tell them wherin they are wrong. The thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution abolished slavery; the fourteenth gave civil rights to the freed people; the fifteenth prohibited suffrage disqualification on account of race. No. 2. If you believe these amendments incorrectly prescribe the political and civil rights of the Negro race, and will indicate the error, I will support you for having the courage of your convictions to speak on the subject. On the other hand, if you believe that these amendments correctly define the civil and political rights of the Negro race, then I will support you for having the courage to say so. No. 3. If you will give your approval to Oklahoma Senate Bill No. 1, declaring that the immediate safety and peace of the state of Oklahoma depends upon separating the Negro from the white man and the Indian in railroad waiting rooms and passenger coaches, then, I will support you provided you will have the courage at the same time to say why you never thought it necessary to advocate the "Jim Crow" railroad law and separate schools in your own state of Nebraska. No. 4. If you believe there is a Negro issue in the south and define what that issue is so that there may be a moderately fair understanding of the issue, then I will support you for the courage you may have in such a task. No. 5. If you will make clear that there is any national political issue on the Negro question, pointing out where the northern and southern Democrats are united, and that this issue is opposed to a like issue of the Republicans, then I will vote for you for your discernment in being able to find such an issue in national politics. On the other hand, if there is no definite national issue between the parties, marking a living and distinct national policy, and you will tell your southern adherents that such is the case, I will support you for this act of courageous candor. No. 6. If you will come to the south and make speeches to the Negroes on the issues of political economics; or if you will have published addresses along the line of your interview, appealing to the Negro for his support on the question of the tariff, for example and will circulate these political documents, among the colored race, to influence his vote by "appealing to his intelligence as well as his partiotism," then I will vote for you for this act of high devotion to duty. No. 7. Men like Senator Tillman, who say that the Negro has no right to any franchise, and that to control the Negro it is necessary to use the shot gun, the bull whip, and the educational and grandfather restriction, and that when these fail other means will be invented to prevent the Negro from voting, certainly must be facing an issue that requires the use of such measures. If not, they are attempting to overthrow the liberties of a race of people. In view of the fact that Senator Tillman is an aggressive and outspoken leader in the south, representative, and not exceptional, and a devoted adherent of yours, will you say just to what an extent you share his views on this question? If you will be explicit wherein you agree and wherin you disagree with Senator Tillman, I will support you. This would involve your saying just what franchise a Negro is entitled to, if any. To all thinking Negroes the following estimate of Judge Taft by J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, is commended. Writing to the edi- tor of the Nashville Clarion on the present political situation. Mr. Napier expresses himself as follows: "To begin with, he comes from old abolition stock, and the traditional attitude of his family has been one of cordial friendship for the colored people. "His course in Cuba and the Philippine Islands shows that he is a believer in the rights of the dark races. He believes in the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution and has said over and over again that the suffrage law should apply equally to both races. "Such mistakes as the colored people made in the early days in voting he sought in some Southern speeches to explain philosophically, and to show that they were errors out of which the colored people could grow. This was done to offset the claim of those Southern whites who hold that reconstruction experiences should serve as an eternal bar. These efforts of Secretary Taft to trace to natural causes any shortcomings of the race as voters, have been seized upon by his enemies as indications that he does not believe in equality of citizenship. "But I challenge any one to produce a speech on the race question wherin Mr. Taft has not declared for equality of citizenship. "As the Republican party of the North seems hopelessly divided on the question of federal interference with Southern elections Secretary Taft believes in trying moral suasion, in trying to win over white men in the South to the Northern view of the suffrage question. "If made President it is my earnest belief that he will use the whole power of his position to influence sentiment in the South favorable' to the acceptance in good faith of the fifteenth amendment. "He says that he is with Prof. Booker T. Washington. On the question of equality of citizenship Prof. Washington thus expressed himself in a letter to the Constitutional Convention of Louisiana: "Since the war, no state has had such an opportunity to settle for all time the race question, so far as it concerns politics, as is now given in Louisiana. Will your convention set an example to the world in this respect? "I want to suggest that no state in the south can make a law that will provide an opportunity or temptation for an ignorant white man vote, and withhold the same opportunity from the ignorant colored man, without injuring both men. No state can make a law that can thus be executed, without dwarfing for all time the morals of the white men in the south. Any law controlling the the ballot, that is not absolutely just and fair to both races will work more permanent injury to the whites than to the blacks. "The Negro does not object to an education or property test, but let the law be so clear that no one clothed with state authority will be tempted to perjure and degrade himself, by putting one interpretation upon it for the white man and another for the black man. "Whlie I do not presume to advise you, yet it is in my heart to say that if your convention would do something that would prevent, for all time, strained relations between the two races, and would permanently settle the matter of political relations in one state in the south at least, let the very best educational opportunities be provided for both races; and add to this the enactment of an election law that shall be incapable of unjust discrimination, at the same time providing that in proportion as the ignorant secure education, property and character, they will be given the right of citizenship! Here we have Mr. Washing- ton's creed, the ideals toward which he is striving, and to this creed Secretary Taft subscribes. "I have stated above my reasons for not severing my allegiance to President Roosevelt on account of the Brownsville affair. In the main they apply with equal force to Secretary Taft. He avows that the question of race did not enter into the matter with him, and his avowal taken in connection with the whole history of the man, is sufficient for me." What may be expected from a Democratic Administration with regards to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments is clearly brought out by an editorial appearing recently in the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal. Those Afro-Americans who are in doubt as to how they shall vote will probably make up their minds as soon as they read it. The editorial is as follows: Bryan's Election Assured and the Repeal of the 14th and 15th Amendments Now a Forgone Conclusion. Verily things are coming our way in the South. Crop prospects were never so promising and the farmers are practically on easy street. This year's cotton cropis already estimated at something like $750,000,000 aside from all other resources. Cotton mills and other manufacturing enterprises are dotting the hillsides and valleys of Dixie as never before, and the tramping footsteps of the march of progress is heard in the land. In fact, manufacturing industries are daily multiplying all over this land of ours, and the day is not far distant when the South will be in the saddle again. Bryan's triumphant election in November is now freely predicted by those in a position to know. Let the stalwart sons of the Anglo Saxon race rally round the colors of the Nebraska statesman, for with his election will come the certain repeal of the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, disfranchising the Negroes of the North as we have disfranchised them by states here in the South. Democrats, North, East and West ars a unit in favor of such legislation, and with Bryan in the White House, Sambo as a voter will be a thing of the past. The Republicans of the North have prevented for forty years the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amdments, but after Bryan's election they will be powerless to brush back the tide of public sentiment, for Mr. Bryan, when elected, would not dare to ignore this one cherished ambition and desire of the Southern people. to whom he is chiefly indebted for his nomination at Denver and his victory if elected next month. For Sambo, however, there is no room in the Democratic camp, and every Negro vote cast for Bryan will lose him two white votes. Let us be understood, this is a white man's country, and in due time the Negro will be relegated to the position of servant, where he rightfully belongs, and for which place an all-wise God in the creation of the world originally designed him. To your tents, O Israel, for the battle is on. The present is our opportunity to establish forever and perpetuate the rule of the Anglo Saxon race in this country, advance forward in the march of civilization and hand down to posterity this benediction for which they will rise up and call our names blessed in years to come."

The Woman's Day Exercises which was celebrated unday evening Oct. 15th inst. at the Metropolitan A. M. . Zion Church, D St. between 2nd and grdSts., S. W., under the auspices of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of that Church was a success in every particular. Mrs. Lizzie Scott Jones, the President of the Society, and who acted as mistress of ceremonies, presided with her usual amount of dignity, and the programme which was very elaborate was carried out with great satisfaction to all present. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Ray, D.D., preached a very touching and interesting sermon, defining the work of Missionaries; he used for his subject: "The world for Jesus." Solos were rendered by Mrs. Jennie Shelton, a member of the choir and also of the Society, and Mrs. Georgie Mackall Robinson. Papers were read by Miss Katie J. West, of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, and Mrs. Wm. B. Harris, of the 19th st. Baptist Church; the subject of Miss West's paper was "Woman" which was a good paper, Mrs. Harris reading one on "Missionary work, etc." Mrs. M. C.

Shoemaker, a member of the Board of Charities and a leader of the anti-Saloon League, who was present by invitation. Mr. Shoemaker commented highly upon the work of the women and especially upon the impression made upon him at the above meeting; he said among other things that, he was pleased with the success the Society is making with all nations, and the activity of our race: He said that, the more Christians we have the less use we will have for Jails, Workhouses, and Police Officers.

Paynter, an efficient clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has been promoted from $1,000 to $1,200 per annum, to take effect at once. Mr. Paynter hails from Colorado. He is an author and journalist of national repute. The promotion contes as a reward for his meritorious service, but happens at a time when it will have a vital effect upon the colored Republicans of the Far West, among which Mr. is deservedly popular by reason of his genial fellowship and widely circulated literary productions. His "Joining the Navy" is regarded highly by the best critics, and he has in preparation a new book dealing with an interesting phase of folk-life in the South. Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and California will feel the invigorating impulse growing out of the promotion of so useful a young man. The happy result came through the influence of Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, the race-loving Auditor for the Navy Department. He has come to known as the Negro's special member of Congress, and has broken all records in helping worthy colored men to desirable promotions, appointments and transfers. ASKS COLORED MEN TO VOTE FOR TAFT. Dr. J. E. Shepard of North Carolina Pleads With Race to Remain Republican. CENSURES BRYAN'S ADVISERS Points Out Danger in Democratic Demagogues Who Thrive on Prejudice. From the Indianapolis, Indiana Star. Dr. James E. Shepard of North Carolina, one of the most distinguished colored men in the United States and formerly superintendent of the work among his race for the International Sunday School Association, is in the city. In discussing the political situation he said: "This election means more to the colored man than appears on the surface. I concede to every man the right to cast his ballot as he thinks best for himself, his family and his country, but this should be done after careful and mature thought and should not be governed by mere sentiment nor passion. "I was opposed to the nomination of William H. Taft prior to the national campaign and favored the nomination of Vice President Fairbanks. I regarded Mr. Fairbanks as the most logical candidate and representing those views that would give the country the greatest rest. But a regular national convention decided otherwise. "I am not a politician, nor do I ever expect to be an officeholder, but I am interested in the welfare of my race and country. After a careful consideration and in this, my first public utterance, I am convinced the success of the national Republican ticket will be best for the country at large, and the colored man in particular." Gives Reasons for Support. Gives Reasons for Support. "My reasons for these conclusions are summed up as follows: Whatever may be Mr. Bryan's personal views concerning the status of the colored man in America, his closest political advisers, men like Tillman, Vardaman Heflin, and Governor Hoke Smith, believe in disfranchisement of the colored man; believe in "Jim Crow" cars and the most humiliating treatment in public conveyances, where all pay the same fare; believe in insulting colored women; believe in a four months' school system; believe in lyuchings, burnings and the shotgun policy, and this, too, not for the colored one who is guilty of crime, but for the one who respects the law, seeks to give his children education and acquire property. This can be amply proved by the recent outrages near Albany, Ga., where the homes, school houses and churches of inoffensive persons were burned. The only thing charged against them was that they believed in doing the best thing they could and obeying the law. Instead of Governor Hoke Smith seeking to punish these outrageous criminals he has left the state, carrying his message of prejudice and hate in other states. With such men close to Mr. Bryan and in power what can the colored man hope from the success of Mr. Bryan and the Democratic party? "You ask about Brownisville. I do not uphold the act of the President in discharging, without ample proof, the soldiers who have never faltered on the field of battle, but always responded to their country's call. Mr. Roosevelt's act was the act of one man, acting as he saw fit, and was not the act of the Republican party, nor do I believe the act was approved by Mr. Taft. The evidence is all to the contrary, but he had to carry out the orders of his superior. Continue Fight in Ranks. "Now, will it not be better for the colored voters of the country to continue their fight within the ranks of the party, rather than seek to put in another party whose record is opposed to colored soldiers entirely? Congressman Slayden of Texas, and Senator Overman of North Carolina, both introduced bills in the last Congress directing the discharge of all Negro soldiers and forbidding farther enlistment. Senator Foraker's bill for their reinstatement has not finally been acted upon, and I family believe that when Congress meets again the whole matter will be settled in a way satisfactory to all." "The success of the Republican party means more to the laboring man white or colored, than it does to any other class. Nniety per cent of colored voters are laborers and must depend upon their daily toil for the education of their children and the support of their families. With the cessation of work will come panics and starvation. Can we afford it? Under the auspices of the Woman's Guild of St. Luke's P. E. Church.

I certainly would rather see a Republican panic than a Democratic one. During this panic, which most largely affected the rich, we have seen no empty dinner pails, no starving children, and no Coxey's army marching upon Washington. God forbid that this country should ever see another panic like the one under President Cleveland. "You ask, are not some of the Southern Democrats favorable to the colored man? Emphatically, I answer yes, but unfortunately this class, which is growing daily, is out numbered by the Democrats of the Hoke Smith - Tillman - Vardaman - Heflin class. Demagogues who thrive on prejudice and hypocrisy. It is this class which would be in the ascendancy in the event of the election of Mr. Bryan. The old saying of Fred Douglass,"TheRepublican party is the ship, all else the sea," is more true now than when it was uttered, and unless the colored man abide in the ship he cannot be saved. I deplore the short-sighted policy of those who are advising a contrary course. "One word, please, about prohibition. If any class of people in the world should be temperate it is the colored man. In my own county in North Carolina, where we have prohibition, the people are happy and thriving and have more wealth than in any other county in the state—and in no part of the Union is there a better spirit between the races." GREAT EXCITEMENT CHURCH OFFICERS DISAGREE. The was much excitement created at Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Monday evening October 26th. Mr. J. C. Overton had published a prize debate of a political character to take place Monday night, and the trustees of the church had published a concert to take place in the lower part of the church On the arrival of Mr. Overton at the church, he found about three or four hundred people on the outside of the church, barred from entering the church where the prize debate was to take place, and the church dark. Mr. Overton made his way to the trustees room and declared that it was a case of jealousy on the part of the trustees. Finding that he was not permitted to proceed with his prize debate he called it off. The people demanded to know the cause, but the trustees who were stationed at the door were insulting and refused to give any satisfaction The proceeds of the debate were for the benefit of the church, but the officers didn't seem to appreciate the past and present good services of Mr. Overton who has always taken an active part in church work and especially the work in the Union Wesley church. The prize debate advertised by Mr. Overton seemed to draw the crowd away from the old folk's concert, this of course made the trustees jealous Women's Guild St. Lukes P.

The typewriter who has learned to typewrite by the touch method does not need to look at the machine in working it. By this method the learner begins and practises on a machine whose keys have no letters on them, simply blank tops, while in front of the learner is placed a reproduction of the keyboard, with all the letters and characters printed on a sheet of paper. The beginner learns the keyboard of the machine from the printed keyboard, and when she has once mastered this she is able to keep her eyes on the notes or copy she is transcribing and keep all the time pounding away on the machine without looking at the keyboard at all. The training that she has received prompts her every time to strike the right key. It is a very familiar fact that people play on a piano without looking at the keyboard. With our eyes on the music in front the fingers instinctively seek and find the right keys. It is precisely the same in playing a typewriter. On The Ocean Bottom. Sitting inside a submarine on an ocean bottom you would be no more conscious of the enormous water pressure without than if you were going to sleep in your own bed. You might remain twenty-four hours under water without coming up, using only the natural air supplied in the boat without feeling the least uncomfortable. If you wished, you might remain down four or five days, tapping the air tank as you needed a fresh supply of air. In the meantime you would bunk over the torpedoes and torture yourself by letting your imagination run loose to your heart's content, or you might read by electric light or play cards or dominoes or checkers, the cook serving you with coffee and canned things that can be heated on an electric furnace without causing too much smoke, and making the air disagreeable to breathe. Desert Talks to Outside World. Desert Talks to Outside World. Before the year closes Southwest Coast cities will be on speaking terms with Needles and other desert points, including Searchlight, Nerv. The first link in this immense telephone system was completed between Manvel and Searchlight Saturday. The main trunk line is now building out from Salt Lake City, eventually to connect with Los Angeles, and will be a link with the Needles-Arizona system connecting most of the desert mining towns That actual construction of the big trunk line is under way is news to Coast people, but it has actually been completed between Salt Lake and Wells, Nev., the first message going over the line last Monday. Gangs are now rushing to completion the line to Ploche. From there it will be a small matter to connect with Searchlight, across the State line, and when this is done Coast counties will be able to talk with Salt Lake Beauties of Gorse. No one who sees a common or hillside covered with, gorse in full flower can fall to appreciate its beauty, and we can well understand such plant lovers as Linnaeus and Dillenius going into ecstacles of delight, as they are reported to have done, when such a sight first burst on their view after being acquainted with the plant from botanical material only. Biding Her Time. A Boston child not yet in her teens and unusually precocious, with exceptional penetration, asked her mother the other day. "How long, mother, will it be before I get old enough for you to say that I am nervous and not naughty when I do so and so." She Grew. A teacher, after patiently defining words in a spelling lesson, gave the word "grewsone" from among them, to be put into a sentence, with this result from the brightest little girl in the class: "I cannot wear my last Sumurr's dresses, because I grew some. Changed His Mind. Once there was a bachelor man who said that talk was cheap, but one day he got married, and then he learned a heap. For when his so-called betterhalf doth speak of gowns and such he finds her talk is different—it costs him mighty much. That Sawing Motion. That Sawing I was "Some people do dislike work," remarked the Observer of Events and Things; "and yet it takes about the same number of motions to play one of Schubert's sonatas on the middle as it does to saw a cord of wood."

In certain towns in Germany householders are compelled by law to sort out their house dust. They have to provide three receptacles—one for cooking refuse and one for rags and paper.

In English towns, a Canadian visitor declares in the "Queen," the foreigner runs out to the pavement just to see that glorious chariot called a milk float go by—that gay bit of a two-wheeled thing, white and yellow, white and blue, or red, white and blue, with the shining brass churn erect at the side, the reins coming over the shining brass rail in front, the little square seat inserted at the rear, and the charioteer standing at the back like Ben Hur and driving as much like that hero as—in a modern town where even motor cars are not unknown—is practicable. Then the English, milkman who comes on foot, with a modern yoke on his shoulders, and swinging at each side a brass bound tin pail, in which is a queer little measuring dipper. Who could wish to have milk delivered in glass bottles, with a paper sealed top, when he can have it measured out at his door into his own jug in this quaintly curious fashion? What do microbes amount to compared with the joy of the mediaeval! Highest Restaurant in World. What is probably the highest restaurant in the world has been opened at the Elsmeer station of the Jungfrau railway in Switzerland, says the "Sphere." It is situated 10,000 feet above sea level, close to the summit of the mountain. The food is not cooked by means of ordinary fuel, but by electricity generated by the Lutschine waterfall, deep down in the valley below. The cooking is done on the principle of the so-called "Papifian digester," as, owing to the rarefaction of the air at that great altitude, water bolls much more quickly, and would evaporate before cooking the food. With an expenditure of thirty kilowatts of electrical energy it is possible to prepare a five-course dinner for a party of one hundred persons in a very short time. The guests are accommodated in a large hall hewn out of the solid rock and heated by electricity. The view from the huge windows comprises mountain scenery which for grandeur has perhaps no equal in the world. Before the Day of Matches. Before the Day of Matches. Sixty years ago the use of flint and steel to produce a fire was not wholly unknown. The late William E. Stone, of Peorla. Ill., lived at Beaver, Pa. His father one warm August night was striken with apoplexy. The fire was out in the kitchen hearth and his mother in her distress, unable to find the tinder box, was obliged to send his brother Marsh two miles and a half to a neighbor. She gave him a handful of tow, which he put in his pocket. Arousing a neighbor with some difficulty, she gave him a live coal, which he wrapped in the tow, and putting it back in his pocket, ran home. When he arrived there he swung the tow around his head, thus fanned the coal and produced a fire which lighted a candle. In the meantime relief had been so long coming that the father was past all surgery. Milder Definition. At Emerson's dinner table one day there was mention of a woman well known as a lion hunter; and, in speaking of her, Mrs. Emerson used the word "snob." Mr. Emerson objected, the word was too harsh; he didn't like that ugly class of words beginning with "sn." His wife inquired how he would characterize the lady. "I should say"—very slowly—"she is a person having great sympathy with success." Peculiar Teeth of Fish Teeth of the fish vary more greatly than those of any other known creatures.

TYLER. One Hundred and Twenty-two Negroes Murdered in Cold Blood by American Savages — Decent Southerners Stay Not the Hand of Their Criminal Neighbors. Excuse of Rape Seldom Alleged—Lynchings for Trivial Offenses, and Little Attempt to Sustain Charges — An Insatiable Appetite for Blood of Negroes the Controlling Impulse — Democracy Responsible for Red Record — Of One Hundred and Twenty-two Lynchings Not One Was Committed in a State Under Republican Rule. BURNING OF INNOCENT OR UNTRIED BLACK MEN A DEMOCRATIC ASSET. CAN NEGROES OF INTELLIGENCE SUFFER SUCH A PARTY TO RETURN TO POWER IN THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT? RECORD YOUR ANSWER AT THE POLLS ON NOVEMBER THIRD. IT WILL BE "NO." BY RALPH W. TYLER. During the past two years—1906—1907—one hundred and twenty-two Negroes were lynched—murdered in cold blood, and many of them in the most fiendishly, uncivilized manner. And that, too, without the least semblance of a trial. So unduly was the haste that marked the murdering of these unprotected black citizens that 61 percent of them had not so much as a hearing, 46 percent of them were just suspected — without even circumstantial evidence, and 72 percent. of them, had they been given a fair trial, and the guilt for which they were accused been established beyond any question of doubt, they would only have been guilty of crimes the penalty of which is a jail or penitentiary sentence from six months to ten years. And, horrible as it is, five of them had their innocence clearly established after the mob had performed its inhuman work. Of these 122 Negroes lynched in two years, one was just accused of being the father of a boy who happened unintentionally to jostle a white boy; one was just accused of expressing sympathy for a brother lynched; one juse accused of carrying a pistol; one just accused of marrying (with her free consent) a white woman; one just accused of being the wife of an assailant; three just accused of insulting, by word, an able-bodied white man. The qualifying term "just accused" is used for the reason that not one of these had been regularly accused by an authorized officer of law or by a court of law. They were simply "accused" by an irresponsible, in-defiance-of-law, bloodthirsty mob. Rape is the one crime which boasted Southern chivalry and protection of women holds as justifying lynch law; though the law of not a single State, passed in calm deliberation, and without the spur of violent passion, provides for lynching for even this most heinous of crimes. And yet of all those Negroes—122—that were lynched during the past two years, only 31 were even as much as accused of "attempted rape." Thus it is seen that out of the 122 Negroes lynched there were 79 black victims of race hatred hurried to their Maker without hearing or tial, for alleged crimes other than that particular one some of the white South holds must be punished by death administered by a frenzied, half-civilized, and more than half-brute mob of beings who boast of civilization and of living in civilized communities. It seems to be well established that race hatred and race discrimination breed crime, and that, too, even among that class which upholds and practices it, as well as among that class which is the victim. Witness these 122 lynchings in two years in boasted civilized Southland. But there is another side to this question that is at least interesting for study. Of all these 122 Negro lynchings not one was committed in States governed by Republican officials and Republican sentiment. Every one was committed in States where the Negro is denied those rights which the Constitution vouchsafes; every one was committed in States where Democratic control is absolute, from Governor down to the petty township official. Had the 122 Negroes lynched been accused, tried fairly, and found guilty of the beastly crime of rape, it might have been possible, by smothering respect for law, to have almost justified the taking of the law into mob hands, if the punishment prescribed was not such as to fit the crime. But only 79 bits of humanity with black skin who were accused of crimes the penalty for which yaries from a judicial reprimand to a prison sentence, or a sure law-prescribed death. In considering these lynchings of Negroes by States, Mississippi leads the horrible roll with 25, and Mississippi, the home of Vardaman, rolled up a majority of 50,189 for the Democratic candidate for president, and is represented in Congress by a solidly Democratic delegation. Alabama is second with a total of 18 Negroes lynched in two years, and Alabama is proud of the fact that she gave the Democratic candidate for president 57,385 majority, and points with pride to her Congressional representation, because it is not marred by a single Republican to dwarf Heflin by contrast. Louisiana comes a close third, with 17 Negroes lynched, and Louisiana gave the Democratic candidate for president 42,542 majority, and has a solidly Democraatic representation in Congress. publican in Congress, and of a Democratic majority that makes Republican hopes fruitless. Texas follows fifth, with 9 Negroes lynched, and Texas is so loyally Democratic that she gave that party 201,773 majority at the last election, and preserves an unbroken line of Democrats in Congress. Arkansas looms up with 7 Negro lynchings, and, as a companion to these 7, she records 61,784 majority for the Democrats at her last election, and boasts of nine Representatives and two Senators in Congress, including Jeff Davis, all of whom are Democrats. South Carolina, the home of Tillman, follows with 6, and the Palmetto State gave 50,000 majority even for Parker, four years ago, and has a solid Democratic representation in Congress. Oklahoma and Indian Territories, now the State of Oklahoma, has 5, and Oklahoma signaled her admission into the Union as a State by electing a Democratic Governor and Legislature, and by passing Jim Crow laws to restrict and circumscribe a law-abiding, industrious, progressive black yeomanry. Florida sent 6 Negroes to an untimely death by the lynch route. Wm. Cannon, 711 Street, N.W.

AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C and the Peninsular State gave 18,722 majority for the Democratic candidate for president, and takes pride in the fact that she has eight Congressional districts (and two Senators) represented by that many Democrats. Kentucky, under Democratic Governor Beckham, had 4 Negro lynchings. And Kentucky maintains Democratic supremacy in Congress, and has uniformly voted for a Democrat for president. Maryland, under Democratic rule, and with her agitation to restrict the Negro's right of suffrage, lynched 3 Negroes. North Carolina had 5; and in North Carolina Republican representation in State, county or Congress has been but an iridescent dream. Missouri, under a Democratic Governor, exploited for his enforcement of law, lynched 3. Tennessee, a State that has consistently cast her electoral vote for any and every candidate the Democrats named, remained in sympathy with her sister Southern States by lynching 3 Negroes in defiance of law. The question that naturally arises, in the mind of every Negro, is, If all the Negroes lynched, without hearing or trial, and many for but petty crimes, and some for no crime at all, were lynched in States that deny the Negro the right of suffrage, and the privileges native-born American citizens are entitled to, and in States only that are Democratic, if the candidate of the Democratic party is elected, how soon will it be when the same spirit of Democracy, as represented by Bryan's Southern allies: influences the rest of the country into restricting Negro suffrage, and lynching of Negroes, without hearing or trial, at the proportionate rate of 122 every two years? One hundred and twenty-two Negroes in rock-ribbed, steadfastly Democratic States! What an appalling number of brutal, unjustifiable murders! And the mob did not stop at lynching men alone, but mere boys, and women too, whose skin was black, were crushed bleeding, lifeless by this bloody, heathenish and accursed juggernaut that Race Discrimination incites, and Democracy preserves as a tribute to fealty to that party's belief in the nullification of the Negro's rights.

AN UNUSUAL SCENE Conducted by An Eastern Patriarch —First Function of the Kind Attended by a Pope Since 1438— Without Precedent in Other Respects—A Historical Review. The Service in honor of St. John Chrysostom held in the hall of the Beatifications at the Vatican on February 12 was unusual in many ways. Never before did any Pope take part in a religious ceremony in which the Greek instead of the Latin liturgy was followed; nor has any Pope attended a similar function since the time of the union between the Latin and Eastern churches after the Council of Florence in 1438. It was the first time in the history of the papacy that a capilla papale, as the function held in one of the chapels or churches of Rome in the presence of the Pope is generally called, was altered in ceremonial, decoration and liturgy to suit the requirements of the Greek rite, and the first time that the Pope used Greek instead of Latin. A special altar was erected at one end of the hall with three icons in front of it arranged in such a way as to form the three entrances, or doors, through which the celebrants and servers pass during the mass. P. PCPE PIUS X. On the altar were six gold candlesticks and a crucifix, while rare Oriental carpets covered the steps, below. To the right was the papal throne, and at each side of the alsle were benches for the Cardinals. Bishop and prelates of the papal court. The body of the hall was crowded with people eager and interested even in the slightest incident. The number of applicants for tickets was so great that the majordomo was forced to issue permits to many allowing them to stand in the corridors. About the time appointed for the ceremony the murmuring of many volces in the hall was silenced by the sound of the Greek hymn sung in the distance, which meant that the cortege had left the Sistine Chapel and was wending its way through the Sala Regia. Three Greek priests carrying a golden cross and two flabelli then appeared, followed by a procession of Greek student priests, Bishops in gorgeously embroidered vestments with the characteristic black biretta and flowing vell, patrilarchs in capes of cloth of gold and Phrygian mitres studded with gems, and deacons carrying lighted candlesticks. In the centre was the Patrilarch of Antioch, his Beatitude Cyril VIII., the celebrant of the mass and on either side walked Bishops carrying symbolic candlesticks. As the procession approached the altar there was a hush and a pause. The singing stopped and the papal troops saluted the Patrilarch. The hymn began again, and from the subdued hush everyone realized that the Pope was coming. He wore the triple crown and a white satin cope, and from time to time he blessed the people, recognising even in the crowd, some of his devoted friends. At the altar steps he alighted, prayed and blessed the Greek celebrants. Then the celebration of mass according to the Greek liturgy began. It was most impressive and solemn. The Pope followed the mass from the throne, where from time to time he was incensed by the celebrants and exchanged with them the embrace of peace. The mass lasted two hours, at the end of which the Pope imparted the apostolic benediction and the ceremony was over. 15 YEAR GAME OF CRIBBAGE. It is for a Million Points and will be Finished in 1915. A cribbage game for a million points, which has already lasted seven years, is being played in Des Moines, Iowa, by Col. John C. Loper and Millo Ward, says the Clinton (Ia.) Herald. The score to-day is 460,234 to 455,234. The players estimate that they will live to finish the contest in 1915. Mr. Loper is sheriff of Polk county and Millo Ward is secretary of the Commercial Exchange. The men play once a week, either Monday or Saturday night, from 7:30 to 11. They have played for 376 consecutive weeks and religiously keep their weekly engagement. The average number of points made each night for the past seven years is 2,150. Just what the stakes are neither of the players will divulge. Both men are over the fifty year mark. The game has been divided into series of 100,000 points each. The men are now on their fifth. During the weekly contests they take half an hour for light refreshments The players have worn out a number of cribbage boards and about twenty-five packs of cards so far in their contest. The men expect on their last series, which will come about eight years from now, to invite their friends and card experts to see the finish of probably the longest card game ever played in the world. A Remarkable Blast. One of the methods of quarrying granite is to dislodge a huge sheet from the surface of the formation through the medium of a powder mine. A large perpendicular shaft is first blasted to a depth of about thirty feet. At the bottom of this and radiating horizontally, like the spokes of a huge wheel, long holes are drilled. The extremeties of these holes, says Popular Mechanics, are then shot with light charges of dynamite in order to create chambers large enough to receive large quantities of black powder. This takes weeks of ever-increasing charges. Then the final charge is loaded. The new chambers at the extremities of the spokes are packed with hundreds of pounds of powder, numerous electric wires attached, and the whole mine tamped with fine material. A mighty roar and rumble in the bowels of the earth and the huge sheet is detached from the ledge. Trail of the Auto. On some of the automobile frequented streets, especially where there are garages, the asphalt pavement is stained with oil and smells in no uncertain sense of the gasolene car. The trace of the auto is nowhere better marked, however, than on the streets with slight upgrades in them. There the oil dripping out of the back of the pan, fairly splashes the street. Some persons who live just about where the street runs a bit uphill are very unhappy because of it in the summer. Every car that runs by leaves its signature written on the pavement, and the sun beating down does the rest. It is a fact that some houses without other defects have suffered in the market from the fact that the street in front is foul smelling from the oil drippings.—N. Y. Sun. Old Miner's Proposal Annual proposals of marriage are made by Bohem. Sharpe, an old miner, to the stenographer of Oregon's Governor, whoever she may be. Sharpe has just made his yearly visit to the State Capitol, and incidentally called at the Executive office and made a formal offer of his heart and hand to Gov. Chamberlain's stenographer. As has been the case many times in the past, the offer was refused, but it is expected the hardy old mountaineer will return next spring to renew his overtures. Sharpe is now over 70 years of age, but is still an active prospector. It is said that he is quite wealthy, but his riches do not help to dispel the loneliness of his isolated home. —San Francisco Chronicle. "Bain" In Moving Pictures Moving picture films are practically spolled long before their usefulness should end because of the "rain" which blots out the clearness. This injury comes from the continuous winding and rewinding of the film through the machine at the rate of a foot a second, forming static electricity. The electricity attracts all the particles of dirt and dust floating in the atmosphere to the films, and in pulling the film up tight these particles scratch, hence the "rain." The Night of Blindness The poets have taught us how full of wonders is the night; and the night of blindness has its wonders, too. The only lightless dark is the night of ignorance and insensibility. We differ, blind and seeing, one from another, not in our senses, but in the use we make of them, in the imagination and courage with which we seek wisdom beyond our senses.—Helen Keller, in Century Peculiarities of the Face A biologist says that the two sides of a face are never alike; one eye is stronger than the other in seven cases out of ten; and the right ear is generally higher than the left. AGAIN TO SEEK THE POLE Peary, Veteran Explorer is Sanguine of Success. A STRANGE SKY LINE Bellews that so Long as the North and South Poles are Unvisited by Civilized Man, They are a Challenge and a Reproach to Manhood. When men reach the north pole what will they find there? The question was put to Commander Robert E. Peary, U. S. N., while he was describing the details of the forthcoming expedition. In reply Commander Peary gave this picture of the landscape at the north pole: "From all the scientists know and from all the inferences to be based upon that knowledge, the first white man to stand at the north pole will not see a scene very different from those traversed by most explorers in the arctic. It is not likely that there will be even a mound of ice to mark the actual pole." "It will be as imaginary and invisible then, as the equator?" "Precisely. The man standing at the pole, though," added the explorer, "will look upon a novel and marvelous scene from the astronomical standpoint. He will see the sun like a wheel of fire, circling the horizon like a wheel instead of rising and setting. From day to day it will gradually ascend higher and higher, in a flattened spiral. "The sun will appear above the horizon on March 22, at the vernal equinox. It will not set for six months On June 22, at the Summer solstice. It will be highest in the heavens. Then it will slowly descend lower and lower until the disk disappears on Sept. 22. "At night, too, the stars will be a curious sight. Only those of the northern celestial hemisphere of course, are visible there. Directly overhead—not precisely, but nearly so—will be the polar star. Only it J. ROBERT E. PEARY. will be fixed. All the others revolve in widening circles. The stars on the horizon will always be there." "Is this the sum total of the landscape at the north pole—the goal of the civilized nation, to reach which countless men have sacrificed their lives?" Commander Peary retorted. "So long as the 2,000,000 square miles of unknown area at the north pole and the 8,000,000 square miles at the south pole are unvisited by civilized men. His voice had the sharp resonance of determination; his square jaw was set. In his gray-blue eyes was the fire that must have lighted the faces of Jason and Columbus. "The general plans of the last expedition will be followed," he said, "with some important variations based on our experiences then. Sailing from New York" in the Roosevelt, in June, or not later than the 1st of July, we should reach Greenland about August 1. "Thence the way lies along the west coast of Greenland, through Baffin Bay, Smith Sound, and Kane Basin, with Ellesmere Land to the westward. This will bring us to Kennedy and Robeson Channels, passing through which we expect to gain our old winter quarters at Cape Sheridan. This is in Grantland, west of Greenland. It is one of the northernmost regions of solid ground known to man. "Early in February we will start from Cape Sheridan for the north. The journey to the pole should be underway in good earnest before the early days of March. Our equipment will be practically the same as in the expedition of 1905-6. I want to have 200 Joge, 25 sledges and 25 men, with Eskimo assistants from Whale Sound, similar to those in the previous expedition. The journey to the north by sledge should consume from 100 to 120 days. We should be back on the mainland some time in June 1909." A Fing Send-off. Col. Jeltz of the "Negro Ledger," a Kansas publication desired to say something nice about the "mention" of J. F. Jarrell of Holton for State Senator, so he wrote the following: "I Jarrell gets into the Senate the thieves and grafters will not plunder the State treasury without his knowledge and consent."—Kansas City Star. ICELESS ICE BOXES. Running a Refrigerator or Cold Storage Plant by Electric Motor. Horseless wagons, smokeless powder, noiseless guns and iceless ice boxes! The last item is described in Popular Mechanics. It consists of an electric motor belted to a pump which keeps a cooling solution moving through a set of pipes which are placed in the refrigerator. These pipes are similar to the steam or hot water radiators in the living rooms. only they cool instead of heat the apartment. The machine is automatic and constantly maintainalc whatever degree of cold is selected. The moment the thermometer rises above that point the machine starts up of itself and works until the apartment is sufficiently cooled then it stops of itself. The whole affair is so simple as to require practically no attention, except an occasional oiling, which is no more difficult than to oil a sewing machine. At trifling expense one can also fix up a basement room as a cold storage for large supplies, sacks of potatoes, &c., which it is now impossible to keep in the average residence. In many families the saving effected by purchasing supplies in quantities instead of from day to day would be enough to pay the entire cost of operating the cold storage system; if not, the amount formerly spent for ice certainly would. Set Sea Gulls to Work. From Nannaimo comes the story of an enterprising Government fisheries official who is enlisting the services of thousands of sea gulls in the task of cleaning up the immense number of dead herring dropped overboard by boats at the different wharves where cargoes are loaded on the vessels. While making his rounds one day, this party tied up his gasoline launch at one of the wharves while figuring out the best method of attempting to remove the fish. Neglecting to switch off the power the propeller churned up the water to such an extent that a large number of dead herring came to the surface, thousands of sea gulls immediately swooping down and glutting themselves on the fish. The experiment was made at several of the other wharves and in every case the gulls performed the task which would have entailed considerable expense had it been done by manual or mechanical labor.—Scattle Post-Intelligencer. Breaking In New Men. A large corporation has lately shown its appreciation of the value of giving new employees a thorough general knowledge of the business by publishing a book describing in an interesting fashion all the details of the company's work. A copy is furnished every employee and he is expected to master not merely the portions pertaining to his own work but the entire book. It costs us about $2,000 a year to publish this book," says the president of the company, "but we consider it money well invested. When a man enters our employ he is told to read this manual and do nothing else until he has mastered it. This gives him a general knowledge of the business, and if there are any points he does not understand they are cleared up before he begins work." Sleeping With Shut Windows. A man in a neighboring city who has formed a habit of going out for a mile sprint in the neighborhood of his dwelling during the earliest moments of the cold gray dawn says there is yet work for the ause of the open window. From morning to morning his route is changed somewhat, but it always covers a district inhabited by the well-to-do. Scanning the sleeping apartments as he runs, he finds surprisingly few windows open. His excursions are taken so early that he knows the sleepers are not awake, and that they have slept the night through breathing poor air. These are proofs, he thinks, that many persons intelligent in most matters, are still unaware of what fresh air might do for them.—Boston Transcript. What Yale Men Eat. Some statistics have been published by the Yale Dining Club to show what the 1,068 members of that organization who eat at the Yale commons-manage to get away with in the line of food. In a week, for instance, 6,500 pounds of meat, 900 dozen of eggs and 9,100 rolls and leaves of bread disappear down the Yale throat. The daily consumption is about like this: Nine hundred and twenty-nine pounds of meat, 100 loaves of bread, 1,200 rolls, 50 pounds of oatmeal, 1,200 quarts of milk, 120 quarts of cream, 120 pounds of table butter and a like amount for cooking purposes, as well as 20 bushels of potatoes. Two hundred gallons of soup is prepared daily for two meals. Cornell's Yellow Slickers The distinctive wet weather dress at Cornell is a yellow oller, and practically every student sports one when it looks rainy. The effect is bound to be a little odd, and it gives the person who sees it for the first time the idea that he is in a fishing town, or at least in a seacoast place. To be sure there's water a plenty all around Ithaca, but the slickers and the mountain make a contrast. MRS. EDDY'S ILLUSIONS Her Ideas on Mesmerism Amounted to Monomania. The Greater Part of Her Time Taken up in Talking About it, in Treating and Fighting Against it, and in Discovering and Thwarting Imaginary Plots. Mrs. Eddy's fear of malicious animal magnetism, never let her rest. She was continually complaining that she felt it trying to reach her through the persons about her, and she could not endure the presence of the suspected student. The greater part of Mrs. Eddy's time was taken up in talking about mesmerism. In treating and fighting against it, in discovering and thwarting imaginary plots. She had never loved anyone so well that she could not in a moment of irritation believe him guilty, not only a disloyalty, but of theft, knavery, blackmail or abominable corruption. All the suspicion, envy and incontinent distrust which so often blazed in Mrs. Eddy's eyes seemed to have found a concrete and corporeal expression in this thing mesmerism. Throughout the winter and early spring of 1889 Mrs. Eddy had been complaining to her adopted son that Boston was full of mesmerism, that it was choking her, and that she must flee from it. The adopted son was a small man, with an affectionate disposition, gen- Mary C. MARY BAKER EDDY. tle, affable manners, and very small well kept hands. He had certain qualities which Mrs. Eddy had always found desirable in those who were closely associated with her. This new relationship seems to have caused no little commotion among the faith'ul. Mr. Frye went his silent, inscrutable way, keeping a wary eye upon the new favorite When he was not doing his marketing, he was usually to be found in his own room waiting for orders and working at his accounts—he was always in trouble about them, and they often cost him sharp words from Mrs. Eddy. Although he seems to have been scrupulously honest, he was a poor bookkeeper. Once, during the early years of his service, Mrs. Eddy had his books audited, and finding him a few dollars short, fell into a violent rage. She charged him with trying to rob her, and walled at him so late into the night that the distracted man went out and persuaded another student to come and stay with him till morning. On another occasion Mrs. Eddy took him to task so savagely about his accounts that Mr. Frye told the other students who had come in to pacify her, that he could stand it no longer, and he actually threatened to leave her. The students set about soothing him very promptly, for the prospect that one of them might have to fill Mr. Frye's place was a little terrifying. Mrs. Eddy could be the most agreeable of hostesses and of mothers when she chose—winning, affectionate and considerate, and she knew the power of flattery. From the day she told a young man of Swampscott that if she could put on canvass her ideal of Jesus Christ the face would look like his, Mrs. Eddy never underestimated the human appetite for flattery. She could unblushingly refer to the "touch of fairy fingers," or the "music of footfalls," and could deliver the most threadbare euphisms with a smile that warmed the heart of the recipient and covered him with foolish happiness. After having fretted herself to sleep the night before, she would sometimes arise in a mood almost beatific and would greet the object of yesterday's invective with a benediction and a smile. Angury by a Rabbit. Every year at Arkalgud the local god, Nara.almaswami, is taken in procession to a building outside the town and there a rabbit caught beforehand, is touched by the spectators and set at liberty. If the rabbit turns toward the town it is regarded as an ill omen foreboding some calamity.—Madras Mall. BAN ON RICE AND OLD SHOES. ```markdown ``` Western Railway Says They Must Not Be Thrown in Stations. Young folks living along the line of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway are convinced that it is a mistake to accuse a corporation of having no soul. At any rate that is the opinion of the sender belings who are contemplating matrimony. In the first place the railroad inaugurated a honeymoon special to California some time ago. That in itself was a great bid for popularity with the brides and bridesgooms to be. But it was nothing in general application to the latest move on the part of the road. This is nothing more nor less than an order forbidding the throwing of rice, old shoes and other wedding accessories in or about Chicago and Northwestern trains. "Something simply had to be done," said an official of the road. "Enthusiastic friends of the bridal couples were carrying things to an extreme, and a check was necessary." "Young couples would come down to the train with large satin bows tied on the rear of their carriages, and as they started for the train a terrific storm o rice and old shoes would break loose. Innocent and inoffensive people who were boarding the same train, but had not been guilty of anything, not even marriage, would get most of the missiles. Hence the new order, which will be enforced in the strictest fashion." Ceremony Under Difficulties. Sir Frank Lascelles, our ambassador to Berlin, has had some exciting experiences in the course of his diplomatic career. He was with Sir Edward Malet in Paris in 1870 during the siege and the Commune, and tells the story of an extraordinary dinner which they had at the embassy shortly after a cannon ball had driven in the front wall and reduced the kitchen to rufns. A general retreat was made to the cellar. And here the two Englishmen solemnly arrayed themselves in dress clothes and sat down to dine in as much "state" as possible, amid a hopeless jumble of treasured brig-a-brac, valuables, clocks, china, &c., for not a scrap of the usual ceremony and etiquette was waived, despite the incongruous surroundings.—Tt-Bits. Queen Who Objects to Corsets. Queen Amalia has the most wonderful taste in dress and Paris costumers are never tired of sounding her praises. At the same time her Majesty believes it quite an easy matter for a woman to have a perfect fitting gown without the aid of corsets. When the Roentgen rays were discovered she had a tight laced lady photographed in order to demonstrate scientifically to the ladies of her court, the evils of the practice. She is never tired of preaching the value of outdoor athletic exercises for women. She is a magnificent swimmer a wonderful rider, an untiring cyclist and a good shot. And to such pursuits she attributes the beautiful figure which she possesses. -Tit-Bits. Austrian Icicle Factory. In Austria "ice sticks" are manufactured at a profit. A series of poles is arranged so that the water will fall slowly over each one in the series. Of course, the water in the winter time freezes, forming large icicles. When the icicles have attained the proper size, the employees of the "ice plant" come around with carts, break off the great sticks of ice and haul them away to a place where they are put in storage. Of course it is much easier to handle a large quantity of ice in this way than it is to cut it from some stream and pack it away. There may, however, be a difference in quality between stick ice and lake or river ice.—The Pathfinder. A Cheeky Will. R. W. Hebberd, New York's Commissioner of Charities, showed in a recent address the effect charity has on some people. "An old woman in Utica," he said, "had received a pint of milk and a loaf of bread daily for eight or nine years from a rich young matron. The old woman died the other week, and it was found that she had left a will. In this brief testament she bequeathed her daily bread and milk to her nephew." Jews and Chess Championship. Jews and Chess Championship. The chess championship has been retained in Jewish hands for the last forty-two years. Steinitz held it for twenty-eight years till 1894, and Lasker has been champion ever since. Dr. Lasker attributes this predominance of the Jewish genius in chess to the fact that its rules are entirely based upon those of self-defence in the struggle of life, and the Jews are adepts in this art. Useful Tears. Tears have their use apart from the crying aspect, inasmuch as they refresh and wash the eyes of animals and birds who live exposed to the dust. The eye requires to be kept clear and clean, and tears perform this duty. A striking example of this is shown when the eye is hurt. It at once commences to water, and often this natural method of cleansing relieves the pain and removes the cause of the discomfort. In 100 crimes, 48 are the work of habitual criminals.
