Mr. Stellwaren Mr. Stellwaren INAUGURAL LEADER. Washington Banker Selected Chair man of Big Committee. man of Big Committee. WELL QUALIFIED FOR GREAT TASK. Member of Previous Body and Favored by Taft and Hitchcock. Edward J. Stellwagen, of this city, has been appointed chairman of the inaugural committee, which will have charge of all the details attendant upon the inauguration of President-elect Taft next March. He was notified of the appointment today by Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee. The position is one of the most conspicuous that is conferred upon a resident of Washington, and bears with it national honor. Mr Stellwagen, who is president of the Union Trust Company and of the firm of Thomas J. Fisher & Co., was treasurer, of the last inaugural committee, and is thoroughly conversant with the duties of the position to which he has been appointed. He also has records of previous committees in his possession, and these are of utmost value. He is regarded as being able to act as chairman of the inaugural committee, with a full knowledge of the social as well as the business side of Washington. Others Retire From Race. It is understood that Chairman Hitchcock talked with Judge Taft at length, as to the merits of different possibilities for the position now awarded to Mr. Stellwagen, and that the last named was the choice of the President-elect. Charles C. Glover, and Gen. Henry C. Corbin, retired, were prominently mentioned for the place. The inaugural chairmanship is considered by both Judge Taft and Mr. Hitchcock a position charged with great responsibility, and the selection came only as the result of the most careful thought and a desire to secure the services of a most valuable man. The post was filled four years ago by Gen. John M. Wilson, retired, who discharged his duties in a manner which set a new record in the matter of holding inaugurations. Prominent in Washington. Mr. Stellwagen has for long been associated among the leaders in the business life of Washington. In his capacity of banker and also of operator in real estate, he has been in close touch with business and social conditions here; and also with the growth and civic development of the city. Recently he became a member of the committee of twelve men who are carrying out the project of having a great auditorium constructed in Washington, and for this purpose are about to incorporate the National Auditorium Company of Washington, D.C. Congratulated by Friends. The news of Mr. Stellwagen's appointment spread through the city with remarkable quickness, and it was but a short time after Mr. Hitchcock made his announcement until the former was receiving congratulations of scores of business associates and friends. Mr. Hitchcock made no formal statement in regard to the appointment this morning, as he thought none was necessary. He will on Saturday name the secretary of the committee and it is likely that some other young business man of the Capital will be found in that position. "The appointment came to me as a surprise," said Mr. Stellwagen this afternoon. "I am glad to receive it, though, and appreciate the honor very much. I have not been a candidate, and I don't think that my name has ever been put forward. I was more surprised than any one else when I was told by Mr. Hitchcock today that I had been selected." "I do not think I will have any more trouble raising the funds for the inauguration than is usually the case. In fact, I know that we won't have any trouble in this respect. The task does not strike me as being a difficult one, not at present at least. "I haven't made any plans yet, and don't know what I will do. I suppose I will start to work immediately, but THE BEE CONERESSIONAL LIBRARY. WASHINGTON just where I will begin it is impossible for me to state. I intend to make this the greatest inaugural in the history of the city, and I am glad of the opportunity. "I cannot tell you yet how anything will be worked out. I have never before thought of it. There was no formal notification or announcement of my appointment, so far as I know. Mr. Hitchcock sent word that he would like to see me, and I immediately made an appointment. I thought possibly he wanted to ask me something about raising funds or some other of the many questions, and I did wonder for a moment what it could be, but it never for an instant struck me even then that he wanted to inform me that I was the chairman." Chosen for His Ability. Chairman Hitchcock, who called at the White House this afternoon, said Mr. Stellwagen had been chosen because of his ability as an organizer and his familiarity with inaugural committee work. Mr. Stellwagen was a member of the inaugural committee four years ago, being chairman of the finance committee and winding up its affairs after the inauguration. This is not the first time that a Washington bank president has been selected as chairman of the inaugural committee. John Joy Edson, president of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, and Charles J. Bell, president of the American Security and Trust Company, having been chairmen at previous inaugurations. STELLWAGEN CONSPICUOUS IN WASHINGTON BUSINESS. President of the Union Trust Company, of the firm of Thomas J. Fisher and Co., of the Terminal Storage Company, and of the Williard Hotel Company, and vice president of the Raleigh Hotel Company, Edward J. Stellwagen is one of the biggest business men in Washington. He has since he started in business as a young man, been prominent in business and social circles in Washington. His name carries with it a prestige that will undoubtedly be a boon to the inaugural committee. His pleasant personality has made for him a host of friends. Mr. Stellwagen is a native born Washingtonian. He is the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles K. Stellwagen. He received his education in the Washington schools, having been graduated from Columbia University law school in 1875. With Thomas J. Fisher, he organized as a partnership the real estate firm of Thomas J. Fisher & Co. As the real estate business progressed, Mr. Stellwagen broadened his activities, aiding in the organization of most of the other business interests with which he is identified today. Eight years ago Mr. Stellwagen was the principal mover in the organization of the Union Trust and Storage Company, now the Union Trust Company Mr. Stellwagen was made president and under his guidance the business grew rapidly. The new and magnificent building at Fifteenth and H streets, which it erected a little over a year ago, was the proposal of Mr. Stellwagen. CHIEF GRIFFIN'S FATHER DIES. From the Richmond Reformer.

Mr. Bryce delivered a formal address in the Tuskegee Institute Chapel on Tuesday, at 2:30 o'clock. Ambassador Bryce said in part: "It is interesting to me to see that you have a number of students from the British empire, and I thank them for their welcome. We have within that empire many millions of the Negro race, in eastern, southern, and western Africa, and of course, also in the West Indies. We are profoundly interested in what is being done here. We hope to obtain suggestions by which we can be benefitted, and we are very glad that colored people from British Africa and the West Indies should be among you. "I have long been convinced that the idea which your principal put forward, and which is here being worked out, of the importance of industrial training is a sound, fertile, practical idea. It is grounded in the history of the human race, every family of mankind, whatever its color, has to begin, and the white race did begin by acquiring habits of steady ad constant labor, and by working out for itself a knowledge of the industries and arts on which civilization even in its simplest and rudest forms, must rest."

"BOSTON NO HUNTING SUMMER DEAL ROTTER BLEISON USE "KNOCKERS" OUT EM IN. "BOSTON GUARDIAN." The Bee has made an investigation of the teaching ability of Prof. Lewis and every teacher of standing states that he is one of the best eighth grade teachers in the public schools. The Bee interviewed a teacher highly connected in the public schools of this city, last Monday evening, and among other things he complained that, there are prevalent rules which keep the teachers hustling from morning to night. The teacher says that very often the special teacher will report a teacher if he sees a piece of paper upon the floor. Teachers must visit certain schools each week, and sit all day and observe. The rule is so, said the teacher, that you must criticise a teacher's school whether or no.. If there is nothing to criticise it is not appreciated. The teacher says this is what is called "official tattling," to which many don't subscribe. This system was inaugurated by the supervising principals. It is not believed that the superintendent knows anything about these silly rules and childish regulations. There is a feeling of discontent throughout the entire corps of teachers. Many of them don't know where they stand. Every day, more or less, there is a new rule. Many of the supervising principals may have a dislike for a teacher and if they do, an adverse report will go to the superintendent, against the school. Then here comes a letter from the superintendent that the alleged supervising principal, who doesn't know half as much as the teacher he has reported, telling him that Mr. Doe, supervising principal, has informed me that your school is not up to the standard, and that you are deficient in "enthusiasm, etc." Some few weeks ago The Bee briefly mentioned the fact that a supervising principal had entered Prof. W. H. Lewis' room and severely criticised an example he had placed upon the black-board. It turned out that the supervisor was Dr. Baily Upon investigation it was discovered that Prof. Lewis was right in his explanation of the example; he having been sustained by supervising principal John C. Noll.. Prof. Lewis called the attention of Principal Noll to the method that he adopted and he said that it was correct. Prof. Lewis was summoned to the superintendents office for an explanation. Prof. Lewis made a manly defense. To the surprise of Prof. Lewis he received a letter from Superintendent Bruce, informing him that his school was deficient in everything, even in music. The consensus of opinion is that the entire business is spite work which The Bee understands the Board of Education will investigate, and if necessary, the entire matter will be presented to the Senate District Committee. MORE BURDENS Of course the superintendent gets his information from John Doe, supervising principal. If you talk back to his "highness," it is an insult, and such is sufficient cause, for your dismissal, no matter how wrong John Doe may be. He is your supervisor, here, and his word goes. Prof. Lewis and Supervisor Baily got together Tuesday and settled their differences. It was admitted that both were wrong. Dr. Baily was wrong in criticising Principal Lewis, because Mr. Lewis was correct and principal Lewis was wrong because he didn't admit that Supervisor Baily was right when he was wrong. Rumor has it that they both talked two hours and one was as glad as the other to close the incident. There is no report of a lunch having been served or cold tea partaken of. It is believed that they are both happy and contented. Superintendent Bruce is enjoying the contest between the two teachers who are casting suspicious eyes at each other. THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The meeting of the local Negro Business League, at Reformers' Hall, in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., was largely attended last Tuesday evening. President Pittman called the meeting- to order and briefly stated that it was his purpose to build up a large local organization in this city. He then introduced Mr. J. B. Anderson, who is in the grocery business in this city. His subject was "How to conduct a grocery business." His address was brief and interesting. Dr. J. R. Francis addressed the meeting on the importance of having a banquet. The doctor didn't know of a better method of bringing out our people. We can know one another better. I think the white people are good enough to follow, said Dr. Francis. Rev. White was the next speaker. He favored the plans suggested by Dr. Francis. On motion of Rev. White it was decided to set apart a certain day to give an annual banquet. Mr. Scurlock spoke on the importance of having an annual fair. He thought that an annual exposition would be a nice thing. We could display our goods to the people. By such means you would more firmly control the colored trade of the city. Addresses were also made by R. L. Pendleton, Judge E. M. Hewlett, Robt. Lewis and others. THE Y. M. C. A. The laying of the corner stone of the Y. M. C. A., 12th between S and T streets, northwest, last Thursday, was largely attended. Exercises began at 3:30. President Roosevelt was of course, the central figure. There were more than 12,000 contributors to the Republican campaign fund, and the amount contributed was $1,655,518.27. PARAGRAPHIC .

Boer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots On the African Veldt. Three lions were killed near Pietersburg. Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Boer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kafir Roy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the lions lying around one of the donkeys. He fired and killed a big lioness. The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) lioness. The young lion which was left ran behind some brushwood. Erasmus first collected his donkeys and brought them into safety and then once more carefully approached the scene of the fight. In order to find out if the two lionesses were dead he fired another shot at one of them. This disturbed the surviving lion who thereupon came forth roaring. Erasmus was again ready and shot him dead on the spot. Asked by the Volkesstem correspondent whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom,' I had my little Kafir boy, with me."—The skins were sold in Pietersburg.—Pretoria Volksstem. Potsonous Brazilian Vipers Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know reptiles," brought from Brazil to New York for the purpose of an operation which will give a serum that is practically extinct. There are several singularly interesting snakes in Brazil. The suru cucu is supposed to cause death in six hours. It is sometimes found nine feet long. Its skin is a dirty-tawny yellow, with dark brown lozenges on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The fiercest of the lance-headed vipers is the Jararoca, and it, also, it a dirty yellow, but it is brown-black about the tail.—Boston Herald. Birds. Fruit. Dead Leaves. The Moki Indian women of Arizona have an ingenious and romantic form of culture. When young these women coil their tresses at the sides of their heads, so as to represent the buds of a native plant. This signifies that they themselves are in the flush of youth and of marriageable age. When they are married their hair is arranged to represent the fruit of the plant; while in old age their jocks hang straggling down their backs, typical of the withered stalk of the dead or dying plant. viz old gal.

There are still to be found in Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island, and that it was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for a fire a viper fastened on the Apostle's hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans, in which character they suppose them serviceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. They are found in St. Paul's Cave, imbedded in clay, and are set in rings and bracelets, and when found to be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally, dissolved in wine, which method is attended, according to some people, by more immediate results. An Air with Real Air. During one of the political tours of Mr. Cleveland, in which he was accompanied by Secretary Olney, he arrived during a severe storm at a town in which he was to speak. As he entered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the station the rain changed to hail, and immense stones battered and rattled against the vehicle. A brass band, rather demoralized by the storm, stuck bravely to its post and played. "That is the most realistic music I have ever heard," remarked the President. "What are they playing?" asked the Secretary of State. "Hall to the Chief'—with real hail!" rejoined Mr. Cleveland. White Skill. In Hawaii the Japanese children outnumber the whites and natives combined; the Chinese children are as numerous, and the Portuguese, who are in a class by themselves, more than equal the number of American-born children in Hawaii; yet it is the white children only who have successfully mastered the Hawaiian sports. I was more than amused when learning to ride the surf-board to notice that the Japanese seemed never able to acquire the difficult knack, while the small white boy very quickly became more adept than the native himself.

One of the seven fine old oaks in Salcey forest, Buckinghamshire, England, has been burned to the ground. It is surmised that visitors to the forest made a picnic fire in the hollow trunk, and the result was the complete destruction of the tree, which is said to be 300 years old. Salcey is the second great royal forest and has belonged to the crown since the conquest. Modern Conveniences. A plious man, entering business, was careful to say: "Remember, now, I cannot tell a lie!" To which the general counsel of the concern, rubbing his hands unctuously made answer: "Oh, certainly not! Really, it isn't in the least necessary in modern business. We form a subsidiary corporation to attend to all that sort of thing." Handy Pruning Tool. A Tennessee reader say she has made a handy pruning tool by attaching a chisel to the end of a long pole. Not the tool against the limb and hit the end of the pole with a hammer. If the tool is kept sharp it will remove the limb close to the branch and leave no ragged edges. No need climbing the trees with this instrument After Us the Delure. The remark is generally ascribed to Madame Pompadour, though it is attributed by some authorities to Prince Metternich.

There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen. Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5.499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington it's what advertising pays you; not what it costs. J H.

One copy per year in advance.....$2.00 Six months .....1.00 Three months .....50 Subscription monthly .....20 GO MEASURE YOURSELF. Now that the presidential contest has been fought and won victory perching on the banners of Judge Taft there is a hustling on the part of colored patriots for place. Out through the West and MiddleWest, and down in the land of Dixie, there are not a few who are sighting,thru their political field glasses, at places held in Washington by "Sons of Ham." And around here in Washington there are a few who are willing to offer themselves upon the altar of ambition as a willing sacrifice to political preferment. The Bee has some advice,however, to give to these patriots. First, not all of them who say "Ye" will be called. And those who only sighted the band wagon after it turned the corner of Victory street, and who spent the time previous throwing stones at the Taft band wagon, and heaping anathemas upon President Roosevelt, ought not to expect to be among those first anointed. And here's another bit of advice: Go carve out a place for yourself. Don't become possessed with the idea that you are only large enough, or just small enough, or just jealous enough, or just so much of an iconoclast that you can only hold some position already being filled by another colored man with credit to the service and with credit to the race. If there is a colored man who is holding office who is unsatisfactory because he is incapable, or because he is not rendering proper service, you violate no race interests by going after his position, providing you are big enough yourself. And always bear in mind that your estimate of yourself may be about one hundred percent higher than the public's estimate. Another bit of advice. It is not reasonable to presume that President-elect Taft is going to remove from office colored men who were with him loyally and energetically from start to finish for no other reason than to make room for some other colored men simply because these some other colored men just want place. Go measure yourself, and then go measure the office and measure the man now holding it, and you may have occasion to save yourself an unnecessary amount of wasted energy in office-hunting. OUR SCHOOLS. Just why there are so many complaints against the supervising principals in the colored schools The Bee is unable to state. The white schools are all running smoothly and apparently without friction. The Bee is informed of a certain male principal of inability to properly manage his school, and yet this individual is kept in his school over more deserving female teachers. If this favoritism is to continue in the colored schools it would be better to place them under white supervision. The Bee is of the opinion that the superintendent of the colored schools is being imposed upon by certain ones of his subordinates. The Bee does not want to believe that Mr. Bruce is sanctioning the action of certain supervising principals. The Bee does not want to believe that Mr. Bruce is blindly reading the marking in the Lewis case, and many other cases of which The Bee has data and knowledge. If Congress is called upon to investigate the colored schools, and radical changes are recommended, the colored school officials can blame no man but themselves. The citizens are preparing for a fight, which is very much to be regretted. The appointment of Miss Martha Shadd as one of the supervising principals is unanimously indorsed by the people. Miss Shadd is a young lady of high cultre. She has the love and respect of every teacher under her supervision. She has no prejudices. She has no favorites. The school that was made vacant by the resignation of Dr. Beckley continues to wait for the gentleman from the South. There are hundreds of Normal School graduates knocking at the door of our public schools, asking for permission to teach. Hundreds of our washerwomen are today decrepit and broken down because they spent the best portion of their life to educate their daughters — and for what? For some outsider to be imported and appointed to places that their daughters should fill. It should be stopped, and at once. It should be gratifying to the colored Americans to know that they have a representative that stands so high in the estimation of every nationality in this civilized world, and is doing so much for humanity. The work of Tuskegee under the principalship of Dr. Booker T. Washington is to be commended by colored Americans especially. Dr. Washington is doing for his people what no other colored American has ever done or will ever do in the next generation to come. There must not only be something in Dr. Washington, but in his great work for his people, that educators, philanthropists, statesmen and the dignitaries of the world respect and honor. In another column of The Bee will be seen a report to The Bee of a visit to Tuskegee by some of the greatest men in the civilized world. If such people as these honor this great man, certainly the colored Americans should do likewise, and show their appreciation by presenting to Tuskegee at least five or ten scholarships. Why not? Doesn't Dr. Washington deserve it? The Bee thinks so, as well as other fair-minded men and people. Tuskegee deserves a national testimonial from the colored American race, and The Bee hopes that every race loving individual will see the importance of tendering to Tuskegee some token of appreciation. Who will begin the movement? WHQ IS TO BLAME? Complaints continue to be made by many of the teachers in the public schools. Some time ago the Superintendent, Mr. Stewart, was informed that the colored teachers had been requested to attend certain special lectures on a special model school tonight, by young graduates or certain teachers who don't know as much as the teachers who are being taught. Many teachers are forced to attend supervisors lectures after they have been teaching all day, and at the conclusion of the lectures the teacher does'nt know as much then as he did before he attended the lectures. tures. The Bee would like to know who is to blame for all of these unnecessary meetings? It would seem that a teacher is entitled to some rest after he has taught all day. Just what benefit is derived from these special lectures the teacher is unable to state. The school authorities should attend a few of them and witness the farce. AUDITOR- TYLER. The Bee suggests the name of Auditor Ralph, W. Tyler as the man to arrange for a suitable testimonial to Tuskegee Institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is principal. There should be at least ten scholarships given to Tuskegee by colored Americans. These scholarships will not only be a benefit to Tuskegee, but to the colored race. Auditor Tyler would be the proper person to place at the head of this great testimonial. It is believed that every city in the United States would contribute to a scholarship for some worthy boy or girl. A GOOD SELECTION. Mr. Edward J. Stellwagen, who has been appointed chairman of the inaugural committee by National Committeeman Hitchcock, is the very best selection that could be made. Mr. Stellwagen is a Washingtonian pure and simple and a man in whom the people have confidence. The Bee congratulates Mr. Stellwagen and commends Chairman Hitchcock. OUR SPECIAL. A special holiday edition of The Bee will be issued on or about December 15th. Those who desire to take advantage of this special edition should send a card and have our advertising representative to call and give them an estimate. Some of the special features of the special will be social, political, religious, etc. Tribute From Board of Trustees of Social Settlement Workers—Felicitations Exchanged. The board of trustees of the Colored Social Settlement tendered a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Weller, former members of the board, last Saturday night, at the Lincoln Temple, 1th and R streets northwest. Mr. Weller, who was formerly secretary of the Associated Charities of this city, and who holds a similar pocity. The reception last night was a recognition of Mr. Weller's contribution toward higher standards of civilization in this city in establishing the colored conference class of the Assosition in Pittsburg, is visiting this ciated Charities, which instituted the Colored Social Settlement and established it in its quarters at 116 and 118 M street southwest. The exercise opened with a selection by the temple choir. Rev. Dr. Grimke offered prayer. Rev. S. N. Brown delivered the address of welcome, after which he introduced Commissioner Macfarland, who said: Commissioner Macfarland's Remarks. "No one has done more than Mr. and Mrs. Weller for the Colored Social Settlement work of Washington, and you do well to honor them tonight. As pioneers in social settlement work in Washington they drew to its support many of our best citizens and greatly increased the general interest in it. All the settlements have profited by the stimulus they gave to the public mind and conscience. "By neighboring all whom they could help in the spirit of the Good Samaritan they stirred us all to new endeavors in social service. We shall miss them greatly, although we shall rejoice that Pittsburg is to have their leadership in its social activities of the higher order; but their work here will remain because it was laid on sure foundations and honestly constructed. Nothing would please them more than to see the Colored Social Settlement undertakings given permanent housing and adequate facilities. "Those of us who share their deep interest in the brave and self-sacrificing labors which you represent are hoping that one of their memorials may be of this character. No philan- thropist could do better social service to the National Capital than by helping in this splendid enterprise." Mr. Weller's Address. Following brief addresses by Prof. Kelly Miller of the Howard University, Rev. W. J. Howard, Prof. R. C. Bruce and a selection by the choir, Mr. Weller delivered an address, in which he said, in part: "The Colored Social Settlement at 116 and 118 M street southwest, in my judgment, is one of the most important philanthropies of Washing-icise the colored race for the faults of some of their members or to feel that the colored people have accomplished notable results in their forty-three years of freedom, we must all agree in commending a work which teaches thrift, inculcates habits of industry and raises moral standards in the neighborhoods where such lessons are most needed. The social settlement places in the midst of the poorest and most undeveloped community a model private home, the residence of people who have had education and other cultural advantages which they desire to share with those who have been less fortunate. "This residence, with its family life, becomes the center for neighborhood gatherings and for clubs, classes and educational work. Volunteers are enlisted to aid in carrying on the many activities, and the settlement reaches out its influence into the homes of its neighbors. At the Colored Social Settlement, for example, there are classes in housekeeping, including cooking and chamberwork. There is instruction in carpentering and other branches of manual training. There are Sunday meetings and frequent gatherings through the week, when the boys and girls of the neighborhood absorb, often unconsciously, the ideals of the club leaders. "A branch of the City Library is a type of the many useful activities which naturally come to center in such a social settlement. "Since I removed from Washington to Pittsburg, I have kept closely in touch by correspondence with the work of the Colored Social Settlement. Nothing in Washington has seemed to me more brave and more devoted in spirit than the work which Miss Eloise Bibb, head resident of the Colored Social Settlement, has done to collect funds for the running expenses of the work and of making possible the erection of the new building which has long been greatly needed. "For six years the settlement has demonstrated both the fact that it is greatly needed and the fact that the methods which it employs are eminently appropriate and effective. It has now outgrown its quarters, and it has undertaken to build a very plain, modest looking building, which it is securing at remarkably low cost. Two contributions, one of $500 and one of $800, have been received, together with smaller gifts. John Joy Edson is treasurer of the building fund, and I know of no other work in Washington which is more worthy of generous support." District Suffers by Contrast. District Suffers by Contrast. Washington has about 20,000 Negroes, it was declared, who live in alleys, shacks and shanties. As a contrast with the efforts made in other cities for extensive "settlement" and "neighborhood" work, Washington has but this one settlement for Negroes, which occupies two adjoining small dwelling houses, and with very limited equipment influences 600 families in its vicinity. Early next year the work will be moved into a new building near by. The reception was held at the close of the exercises. Besides Commissioner Macfarland, the other members of the advisory council are Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Mrs. John Hay, Miss H.e. E. Crippen, Judge William H. DeLacy, John W. Douglass,, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Hobson, Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, Mrs. John R. McLean, Dr. W. P. Thirkield, John B. Sleman, jr., and Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick. Henry E, Williams, assistant chief of the weather bureau, is treasurer of the board of trustees, the other members, of which are as follows: Dr. Sara N. Brown, chairman; Miss Eloise Bibb, headworker; Roscoe C. Bruce, A. U. Craig, Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, Rev. Alexander C. Garner, Rve. F. J. Grimke, Rev. J. W. Howard, Samuel Middleton, Mrs. Everett Wallace Smith, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Ralph W. Tyler and James E. Walker. CLEVELAND THEATERS. From the Cleveland Journal. It is a well known fact that Cleve- land for a long time was affected by the distasteful practice of studied discrimination in the majority of the local play houses. Of all places in America, Cleveland, the banner city of the great Western Reserve, should be the last place to draw the line. The managers are to be congratulated that Cleveland is among the first of the larger cities to set an example worthy of emulation. COLORED MASONS The recent decision of Judge Wright in the case of the two factions of colored Masons has thrown consternation into their ranks; that is, the 19th Street faction. The entire matter could have been settled among themselves, thus saving several hundred dollars. The 19th Street Masons were appealed to and advised to harmonize the differences that existed, but nothing could convince the brethern that harmony would make them great in the eyes of the world.. Nothing would convince them but a law suit; hence both sides prepared for the fight. The Virginia Avenue Masons under the direction of Mr. W. H. Grimshaw, one of the oldest and best known Masons in the United States, declared that his side would expend thousands of dollars to maintain their rights and convince the world they are the legitimate body of Free Masons in the United States. There is an interesting history connected with this fight. For several years the 19th Street Masons have been fighting for supremacy, and went so far as to declare, the defeat of the Virginia Avenue body. As time rolled on, the fight got hotter and hotter. The Virginia Avenue Masons retained four lawyers, two white and two colored. The pleadings in the case were mostly prepared by Attorney James H. Stewart and Assistant United States Attorney James A. Cobb. The 19th Street body selected all white Attorneys although there were several brilliant colored Attorneys connected with the organization. Both Cobb and Stewart made a good fight and finally Judge Wright. Equity Court, a few days ago, declared that the 19th Street body of Masons were operating with legal authority and all documents and other instruments must be turend over to the Virginia Avenue body. The 19th Street Masons have about exhausted all of their funds. M STREET HIGH SCHOOL BOYS MAKE GOOD. Two colored boys of M Street High School have attracted much attention in college foot ball circles this year. Edward Gray of M street,'08 and John Pinkett of M street,'07, both captains of Company A of '07 and '08 and winners of the annual competitive drills, of those years, are stars of first rank on the Amherst College foot ball team this year. Gray has played right end and right half-back. Pinkett has played center. Gray has been the star in all of Amherst's games this year. In the Dartmouth game Gray was rushed three and four times in succession, and twice the ball was carried to Dartmouth's 10-yard line. Here Dartmouth held and the ball was kicked out of danger. The New York Tribune says about the Cornell game: "Gray, Amherst's Negro right halfback, ripped Cornell's line from tackle to tackle for gains averaging 5 or 6 yards, and when not plunging wormed his way through the line for big gains." The Boston Globe says of Pinkett: "He is one of the fastest centers for a big man among these colleges years. His great strength is in getting there on defense and breaking up plays before the interference gets to going." At M Street High School John Pinkett did well as a track athlete. He captured places in all the weight throwing events in the track meets of Amherst last year. He went on the annual competitive drill field two days after breaking his right wrist during athletic training and came off victorious. Edward Gray, for four years was M Street's best football player and a star all around athlete. His company put up a splendid drill last June and won. This is not the first year that Amherst has been represented by colored boys. W. H. Lewis, Harvard's center was captain of Amherst's team back in the 90's. Mr. W. T. S. Jackson, principal of M. Street High School, from which these boys grad- uated, was right halfback on Amherst's team and held the 880 record for seven years. ORDERS BY PIGEON POST. Messengers Used By English Butchers for Country Trade. "Orders executed by post" is a common enough phrase nowadays, but "orders by pigeon post" is something new. The "pigeon post" has been recently instituted by Don Harris, son of a butcher at Herne Bay, who regularly employs homer pigeons to carry orders from outlying districts to his father's shop. Mr. Harris, Jr., when he goes to collect orders takes six of his fastest birds in the trap with him. After he has gone a couple of miles and collected a dozen orders he librates a pigeon with the orders enclosed in a little metal case attached to the bird's foot. Before five minutes have elapsed these orders are in the delivery trap on the way to the customers. At various stages of his round (which usually takes three hours) Mr. Harris liberates the other birds with more orders, and by the time he returns to the shop all the orders received by pigeon post have been depatched. "Sometimes my rounds take me more than three hours," said Mr. Harris, "and formerly customers who lived any distance out did not get their joints until too late for the midday meal. Now my pigeons have solved the difficulty. The birds will often travel at a speed of more than a mile a minute, so you can guess the time they save. I have never known a bird to go astray."—London Daily Mall. The Towna of No-Good. Kind Friends, have you heard of the Town of No-Good, on the banks of the River Slow, where the Some-time-or-other scents the air and the soft Goesles grow? It lies in the valley of What's-the-use, in the province of Let-her-slide. It's the home of the reckless I-don't-care-where the Give-it-ups ablade. The town is as old as the human race, and it grows with the flight of years; it is wrapped in the fog of the Idler's dreams; it's streets are paved with discarded schemes, and are sprinkled with useless tears. Admission By Ticket Mandy was a young colored girl, fresh from the cotton fields of the South. One afternoon she came to her Northern Mistress and handed her a visiting card. "De lady wha' gib me dis in de palor," she explained. "Dey's anoder lady on de doestp." "Gracious, Mandy!" exclaimed the mistress. "Why didn't you ask both of them to come in?" "Cayse, ma'am," grinned the girl, "dc one on de do step done fo'g't her ticket."—Judge's Library It is said that Vice President Fairbanks will resume the practice of law after the fourth of next March. THINK ABOUT THIS. Your home may be made to correspond to a good bank-account. Its furnishings may be added to a little at a time until you have accumulated a handsome nest-egg right there. And such a thing is not hard to do if you go about it in the right way. We, know of no firm in Washington which will help you to such an extent in this direction as the Peter Grogan and Sons Company, of 817- 823 Seventh street. A person who is at all responsible may go to their store and buy a bill of housefurnishings without being required to make a cash payment at the time. They simply ask you to pay a small amount weekly or monthly. The goods are delivered to you without a contract, lease or note, and they are yours. You have an open account with them, and by keeping it in good standing you can add to it just as you need more goods. Payments will be arranged to correspond with your income, and a little careful planning will keep you from feeling them at all. It's a good way to save. When the bill is paid you have something to show for it, and you've had the use of the goods while paying. Make your home comfortable. Make it attractive. You'll be a lot happier, and you'll take a pride in having your friends with you there. The Bee can be purchased at the following places: W. H.

Baltimore, Nov. 18.—Miss Sara E. Clements and Mr. Daniel H. Murphy, assistant manager of the Afro-American Ledger, were the principals in a fashionable wedding tonight, at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. The bridesmaids were Misses Cora Fry, a cousin of the bride; Aldina Hawkins, Marie Coleman and Augusta Rohobet. The maid of honor was Miss Violet Clements, a sister of the bride. The ushers were Messrs. Carl Murphy, a brother of the groom; John Howard, John Hampton and Roscoe Price, Mr. John H. Murphy, jr., a brother of the groom. A reception followed the ceremony at 1923 Division street, the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Clementine Clements. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy will reside at 539 Laurens street. The groom is a son of Mr. John H. Murphy, managing editor of the Afro-American Ledger. Friday evening, November 20th., under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association, a beautiful Japanese operetta was rendered at True Reformers' Hall, by a unmber of little folks. The star of the occasion was Master Merrill Curtis, the eleven year old son of Dr. A. M. and Mrs. Curtis. The little fellow was well trained and he demonstrated remarkable ability for a child of such tender years. He took the character of the Emperor of What for Whi. His gestures, singing and acting showed that he had been under a competent tutor. Miss Louise Whitby assumed the character of Princess Chrysanthemum. While Miss Whitby was good, she didn't throw enough life into her character. She was just a little too stiff. However, she will do better the next time. She read her lines correctly, which was a commendable feature in her character.. Prince So True, Master John Nichols; Prince So Sli, Master Earl to be all right, and for amateurs the Hynor; were very good. They seem little fellows are entitled to great credit. Saucer Eyes, Miss Mary Craft; Top Not, Master Julius Dixon. Miss Nita Hope, Miss Dorothy Young, Miss Thelma Watson acted well. The operetta was in three acts, and every participant is entitled to the highest praise. Miss Bettie G. Francis, president, and Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, chairman of the building fund committee, had the entertainment in charge, and the ladies of the association are to be complimented for having presented such young talent and such beautiful and accomplished children to the people of the city. The children, some as young as four years old, showed careful training, and the tutor deserves credit. There was a fair audience present at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Friday evening, November 20th., to listen to the recital by Mr. Richard B. Harrison, of Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Harrison has a good memory and he reads his lines quite well. There were many of his recitations that were faulty; especially his "Merchant of Venice." He didn't portray the "YOU WANT WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT" We make no claim to having originated this truthful saying, but we do claim to have originated the only credit system by which Here is a great store, filled from top to bottom with everything you can possibly need in furnishing a home.

Shylock's address to the court after it had decided that he should have the pound of flesh, never ranted nor did he beat his chest. The old Jew was calm and cunning, and very determined. Mr. Harrison failed to articulate distinctly and neither did he portray the character of the Jew. He didn't have the Jewish accent. The same criticism may be made of Dunbar's poems. Their recital lacked the Negro dialect. There is no occasion to perspire and true as the reader says, that on one occasion he was told that he saw Irving Booth and many other great actors in Shylock but he perspired more than all of them combined. There was no occasion for ranting in the least. Throughout the entire play of the Merchant of Venice, Shylock is calm and cunning; his voice ranty, and it lack music. He would make a very good assistant to a star, but he has not reached the point where he can class himself as such. Of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, was celebrated last week with appropriate ceremony, comprising a series of concerts and literary exercises, under the management of Prof. Wm. Jennifer, Ph.D. More than one hundred dollars clear were realized to the church. Prof. Jennifer never. "does things by halves," and the fact that he was manager was synonomous of success. The Church was filled with an appreciative audience that remained throughout the exercises. The Lawson's Woman's Christian Temperance Union of South Carolina, held Greenwood, S. C., and Newberry, S.

How Coca Is Cultivated—Used as Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue. Coca is the South American invigorant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under favorable conditions to a height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Bolivia. At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in beds, when they germinate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about a foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish, small and thick. This is the kind of leaf that is preferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and preventive of -sleep and fatigue in the performance of arduous work, inasmuch as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when working in mines that contain much water. Indians who mastigate the leaves of this plant can work twenty-four hours without eating or sleeping. Coca leaves are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatiguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia, either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years. Run By the Tide of the Elbe. A 14,000-horse power plant operated by tidal energy is to be established on the south bank of the Elbe, near Cuxhaven. This is by far the most ambitious project of this character which has ever been contemplated. Electrical energy is to be delivered to the town named for various commercial purposes, but the greater part of the product of this great power plant is to be made use of by factories which are to be established in the vicinity. Hamburg capital is mostly interested in the scheme. Weekly Holiday Enforced In New Zealand everybody is bound by law to take a weekly half-holiday, and there must be no shrinking the obligation. The Grand hotel, Auckland, was recently crowded with guests, and several waiters, instead of obeying the law and taking their prescribed weekly half-holiday, remained at work on the promise of extra pay. But the authorities came to hear of it and the proprietor of the hotel had to appear in court, where he was convicted and punished. Japanese and Their Prisoner Japanese and Their Prisoners. The Japanese have a rather kindly way of treating prisoners who have not been convicted. The regulation prison dress is a kind of strawberry-red-colored kimono, but many wear light blue, as a sign that although under suspicion, they have not yet been found guilty. When prisoners in this class have occasion to pass through the public streets curious extinguisher-like baskets are placed upon their heads. Emeralds. At the present day most of the emeralds that come into the market are obtained from the famous mines of Muzo, in the Columbian province of Bayaca. These workings are situated on the eastern slope of the Andes, about 70 miles to the northwest of the town of Santa Fe de Bogota. There is another mine, called Lasquez, two days' journey by mulback from Muzo. Worries of Modern Life Nowadays we must not drink spirits nor eat meat; we must not smoke; the air of cities is poisonous, the air of country too strong, the light ruins our eyes and the air racks our nerves; shaking hands is a means of collecting microbes and kissing is pure suicide. Life is indeed growing dull and difficult. Madrid Diario. French Illiteracy. Although France has had compulsory education for about 25 years, the percentage of illiterates reaches the high figure of 40 per 1,000 men, and 60 per 1,000 women. In this regard Germany appears to great advantage, as she has only four illiterates per 1,000 of population. Art of Eating Eating is not merely an enjoyment; it is a science that must be learnt, as art that must be acquired by intelligent patience. The man who at middle age has not discovered what and how much is suitable for him has not finished his education. Some Big Cities. New York has about twice the population of Chicago. The five largest cities on earth are, in the order of their size, London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Berlin. London has about a third more people than New York. Character by Hat It is a strange fact, but *x* true one; that the kind of a hat a man wears and the way he wears it form a very good writerien of his natural character. Learn This To-Day. Most of the things left undone in this world are left undone because the people that could "am" don't know it.—Tappan Wright. NEW ZEALAND'S WHITE ISLAND White Island, New Zealand, derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it appears to be continually enveloped. Its area is only 600 acres, and its height about 880 feet above the sea level. In form and color it is like a reposing camel, while its interior with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern landing place stands a column of rock closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Capt. Cook. The water of the island is of a pale green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible. On a fine moonlight night a wonderful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron hissing and snorting and sends forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egres appear to be denied by the steep-silent and gloomy cliffs. Japan's Purpose to Rise. The important inquiry with regard to Japan in a large way—is it not?—as to the direction in which the nation is now moving. And in answer to this inquiry I am able to give a most unequivocal and quite satisfactory answer. Never before in the history of the country, and at the present time in the history of no other country, do we find the same intelligent, deliberate and widely prevalent purpose to do away with the nation's reproach and to rise in the scale of national business morality. In saying this I speak what I know to be true.—Charles Vernon. Montenegro's New Capital. Montenegro is building a new capital at Antivari, the port of its present capital. The work, which are in the hands of Italian contractors, were inaugurated this month by the ruling prince, who insisted in his speech on the close ties of interest binding Montenegro to Italy on the one hand and to Russia on the other, while he left Austria out in the cold. It is supposed that the new town is to be the terminal of Russia's Balkan line, and the speech is regarded as having considerable diplomatic importance for that reason. Nuts for Sourels. The New York Park Department asked that visitors feed to the squirrels only hard-shelled nuts as the eating of soft-shelled ones permits the teeth of the pets to grow long and turn under, so that they are unable thereafter to crack the hard nuts they bury in the ground for the winter's store. These hard nuts consequently, rot and the squirrels die of starvation. Here is an excellent object lesson for the human race in the care of teeth. Peazuts in Indi: The cultivation of American peanuts which was introduced into the Kolhapur State some years age by one of the American medical missionaries, has become so popular that they now have become almost the chief crop. Unfortunately the people persist in eating them raw, as they formerly ate the little country nuts and as the American nuts are much richer acute digestive troubles and liver inflammation are the frequent result. Decadence of Billiards Billards are dying out—in France, at least. According to statistics of taxes, while there were 94,123 billard tables in France in 1892, in 1806 there were only 89.-939. It is probably to the success of outdoor sports and of motoring that is due this loss of affection for a game which has had famous volatiles. Value of the Nile. The Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world, but it is not especially valuable as a navigable stream. It's chief benefit to the country is from the immense deposits of mud carried down in the annual floods and which have made the region overflowed one of the most fertile in the world. New York Wear One Shoe No wonder that so many shops in New York City sell shoes and that so many shops sell nothing but shoes, for it is estimated that the pedestrians of the city wear out 28,000 pairs of shoes each day. Big Engineering Feat . One of the biggest pieces of engineering in New England is a 2,500 horsepower dam in the Union river, at Ellsworth, Me. It is constructed of hollow concrete, and cost nearly $500,000. Coal of New Zealand It is estimated that New Zealand has an available coal supply of 1,200,000,000 tons, of which no more than 20,000,000 tons have been touched. Elephants as Sandwich Men Elephants are being employed in Paris as "sandwich men" to advertise a music hall in the Champs Elysees. The Purposeless Man.

How would the schoolboys of today enjoy wearing gayly-flowered vests, fine blue or red stockings and blue plush breeches? This was only a part of the gay apparel worn by schoolboys of two centuries or more ago. There were few public schools in those early days, and the boys who attended "pay schools" were very particular about their apparel. A single example will give a good idea of the contents of one small trunk of a boy leaving home for school. A lad about 10 years old, named John Livingstone, was sent from New York to school in New England in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. An account of his new linen and clothes has been preserved. It reads thus, in the old spelling: Eleven new shirts. 4 Pair laced sleves. 8 Plane Cravats. 4 Cravats with Lace. 4 Stripte Wastcoats with, black buttons. 1 Gray hat with a black ribbon. 1 Gray hat with a blew ribbon. 1 Dousin black buttons. Silk & Thred to mend his Cloathes. 3 Pair silver buttons. 2 Pair Fine blew Stockings. 1 Pair Fine red Stockings. 4 White Handkerchiefs. 2 Speckled Handkerchiefs. 5 Pair Gloves. 1 Stuff Coat with black buttons. 1 Cloth Coat. 1 Pair blew plush britches. 1 Pair Serge Britches. 2 Combs. 1 Pair new Shoes. "Osenbrig" was a heavy linen. Other schoolboys of that date had deerskin breeches. Little boys, just as soon as they could walk, wore clothes precisely like their fathers—doublets, which were warm double jackets; and leather knee-breeches, leather belts. and knit cap.—Philadelphia Record. The Animals Must Sleep The following notice is said to have been posted up by order of the mayor in a small parish in the upper Pyrenees: "Seeing that the young people of the parish are accustomed to assemble every Sunday after mass to dance, and that the noise which they make frightens the hens, cocks, pigs and other domestic animals of the village, and that the result is a falling away injurious to agriculture, we hereby prohibit the dances during the hours that the domestic animals take their repose." Seeds are Food. Tamarind seeds are to be reckoned among the fairly nutritious plant products that have been reported to provide food during periods of famine in India, says Nature. The pulp of the fruit is an esteemed ingredient of certain condiments. The kernels of the seeds when freed from the skin and roasted furnish a not unwholesome flour, suitable for mixing with cereals to make small cakes. Special Test of Timber An example of the progress of the science of forestry in this country is furnished by the co-operation just arranged between the University of Idaho and the United States forest service for festing the timber growing in the State of Idaho: The tests will be specially directed to determine the fitness of these timbers for use as bridge stringers, railroad ties and paving blocks. Sapphires of Different Colors To say that anything is "as blue as a sapphire" is to make use of an incorrect comparison. Sapphires are not exclusively one color. The sapphires of Ceylon vary from a soft blue to a peacock blue, which last is practically a green. There is also a red sapphire, sometimes called a Ceylonene ruby. Further, many fine sapphires are yellow or white. Thoreau's Sensible Answer. When the forest-haunting hermit Thoreau lay on his deathbed, a Calvinistic friend called to make inquiry regarding his soul. "Henry," he said, anxiously, "have you made your peace with God?" "John," replied the dying naturalist, in a whisper, "I didn't know that God and myself had quarreled!" Extend Siberlan Road. A great extension of the Siberian railroad is proposed along the River Amur, and as it has met with hearty approval on the part of the present ministry, it is likely to be constructed. It will open up 40,-000,000 acres of corn land. Australian Country Homes In the Blue mountains, three hours from Sydney, are many beautiful country houses, mostly bungalows with wide verandas, all round, where Sydney people fly in February and March to get away from the heat of the city by the harbor. Showing Folly of Anger A wise man has well reminded us that in any controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.—Carlyle. Shallow Vessels, Etc. Little bantams are great at crowing. Spanish Proverb. THE SIMPLE LIFE IN FINLAND. In the Summer All Classes Spend Most of the Time Out of Doors. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer. They camp out on islands, in the forests, and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds, in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are very merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing, they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics; they all become like children and are the very happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. The Longgate Died If you would enjoy a long life you should become a minister (of any religious denomination), or, falling that, a gardener, a gamekeeper, a farmer or a railway engine driver. These, according to Dr. John Tatham's report to the Registrar-General on the mortality in certain occupations during the three years from 1900, which was issued last night, are the callings which offer the best prospect of longevity. At the other end of the scale come the general laborer, the tin miner, the hawker and the hotel servant, and about midway are the physician, the undertaker and the tobacconist. As compared with lawyers, Dr. Tatham records, medical men die more rapidly at every stage of life, while as compared with the clergy their mortality is enormously in excess.—London Daily Chronicle. Work Uplifts. All business and all work should lift up, and not hold down; it should make free, and not enslave: It should ennoble, and not degrade. It is as honorable to make shoes or anchors as it is to paint pictures or write books. The shoemaker should learn the secret through his work of finding the sandals of manhood for his own feet. The blacksmith should learn, through the making of anchors for his great ships, to find the anchor that is to hold his own soul to the truth amid the storms of life—Rev. J. W. Lee, D. D. Where the "Good 'Ups" Ars: An American actor was once seeing London from the top of a 'bus. As they swung down the Strand he asked the driver to point out the places of interest "Right you are, sir!" agreed the driver, touching his hat. "There's Luggit 'll, where they 'ang 'em." A little later: "There's Parliament 'ouses, where they make the laws wot does it, across the way. An' there's Westminster Habbey, where they buried the good uns wot didn't get 'anged!" Has Found River's Sources. Dr. Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer, states that he has discovered the true sources of the Brahmaputra and Indus. The Brahmaputra, he says, is the Kubitsampso, which rises from an enormous glacier on the northern side of the northern-most parallel range of the Himalayas. The Marlumchu, which has hitherto been regarded as the source, is merely a small tributary flowing in from the west. Mahomet's Dove. Some of the older historians tell us that Mohomet had a dove which he used to feed with wheat out of his ear. When the dove was hungry it used to alight on the prophet's shoulder and thrust its bill into his ear to find its meal. Mahomet, it is said, thus led the Arabs to believe that the bird was a messenger from God with inspired truths for him. The Bad Fellows. As bad as the man who parts with you with a "S'long," twice as bad as the geek who shakes your hand and says, "Bye-bye, old man, don't take any wooden money," is the Bromide who greets you with a hand like a ham, and gleefully ejaculates "Howdy do; looks like the good old summer time, huh?"—Buffalo News. A Dark Outlook. Beggs, Okla., is said to be the place where a minister, marrying a negro couple, asked the woman: "Do you take this man for better or for worse?" She interrupted by explaining: "No, judge, I wants him just as he is. If he gits any better he'll die and if he gits any worse I'll kill him myself." Not So Innocent The Old Lady (as a group of small boys dash past her)—Ah, running races? Been reading about those Olympic games, no doubt. A' Voice—Games be blowed!

Of this total no less than 31,744,904 tons represents steam shipping and 17,611,096 tons of the whale is under the British flag. MILITARY HOTEL SICK AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE UP TO $25.00 PER WEEK WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE ON VERY LIBERAL TERMS PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH. AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C IT PAYS TO GO TO CHURCH. If You Are a Young Doctor and Are On Hand When Needed. If you are a young doctor with all the requirements of a successful career except patients, you may find it pays to go to church. This is true, especially if you have a commanding appearance and are on the job when opportunity offers. One young doctor in Brooklyn found this to be true. He attached himself to a church with a large membership, and was assiduous in attending services. As he was good looking, his presence aroused remark, especially among the women members of the congregation. At the morning services on a recent Sunday, a woman who sat in a front pew near the pulpit fainted. There was a call for a doctor. The young man rose up in his place in a side pew, stalked majestically around to and down the centre aisle, and soon was administering to the sufferer in his best professional manner. It was a big feather in the young doctor's cap.—New York Sun. Porpoises at Play. A remarkable photograph of half a dozen porpoises playing under water just ahead of the bow of a steamship travelling at the rate of 12 knots an hour, has been published by a correspondent of knowledge, Mr. C. H. Gale. Mr. Gale calls attention to the singular fact that the porpoises while easily maintaining their position ahead of the ship showed no apparent effort or motion of body, tall or fin. Yet he thinks that they were not carried along by movement of water in front of the vessel, because air bubbles were seen rushing from their backs, and the photograph shows the effects of these bubbles by the white streaks on the backs of the animals. Sometimes they rolled over sidewise, but they always maintained their position. Youth's Companion. Indian Courage. Katherine Beaulieu, a pupil of the Chilocoo Indian School, Oklahoma, had her hand caught in the big steam mangle, and before the machine could be stopped the arm had been dragged in above the elbow. The physician was able to save the arm but in order to facilitate healing it was necessary to graft fifty pieces of skin over the wound. Volunteers were called for and the doctor reported several scrimmages among the other pupils for the privilege of being the first to contribute part of their epidermis.—From the Indian's Friend. European Stationery Hotel stationery must be cheap in Europe. The envelopes are $6 \frac{1}{2}$ by 5 inches, and usually of some green or bluish that, with an inch of heavy printing across the top. Frequently no place is left for the stamp. These receptacles are so wide that they arrive folded over a couple of inches, which reduces them to the size of the ordinary American commercial envelope. The Whole Alphabet. In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes the King, do make a decree to all the treasures which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily."

The "electors" being elected along with the rest of the ticket are, of course, counted for the winning party. But it is possible, and sometimes happens, that the electors in a given district may be elected by the opposition, in which case the electoral vote of the State is divided. Post Office Pens. Mustard manufacturers grow rich, we are told, not by the quantity of mustard consumed, but by that which is wasted and left on the dinners' plates. The saying is recalled by an interesting statement made by the Postmaster-General as to the number of pens supplied for use by the public in the post offices of the country. It seems that last year the total was 1,250,000. Naturalized on the Arm: An Italian went to the civil service commissioners' rooms to be examined for a laborer's position. He answered most of the questions correctly. Finally they asked him if he had ever been naturalized. He seemed a bit puzzled, but at last his face lighted up. "Ah, I know whata you mean. Scratcha de arm. Yes, lasta week." Nightingales Under a Ban It is said that no nightingales sing in Havering, England. Legend has it that the singing of the birds disturbed the devotions of Edward the Confessor when at his Havering palace, and he therefore placed them under a ban from which they have never recovered. Cement Walks. Why not more cement walks, porch approaches, etc., on farm? The farmer can put them down himself as cheap or cheaper than he can use lumber for the same purpose, and when once down they are there to stay.

Danger in New York Woods There is an average of seven car collisions a day on the steam, subway, elevated and surface railways of New York. Like Beef and Very Palatable Cheap, Too-Danger of Exterminating Whales. MANY MERITS OF THE NEW DIET Salted Meat is Sold at the Rate of Two Cents a Pound—Most of it Now Used to Make Fertilizers—Wider Market Sought. Victoria, B. C.—Whale meat as an article of food and the preservation of whale life in the waters of the Pacific are questions agitating the whaling industry on the coasts of Vancouver and in the far East. The many whaling companies of Japan operating steam whalers have formed a combination to enforce a close season, owing to the decreasing number of whales. This news was brought here by the Japanese liner Akı Maru, from the far East. The various companies interested in whaling held a conference, and a resolution was passed favoring the formation of a guild. Whaling in the waters of the Canadian Pacific seaboard is still in its infancy, but the need is clearly realized of protection to the quarry. Roy C. Andrews of the department of mammals and birds of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, who has recently returned home from a five months trip spent on this island for the purpose of studying whale life, said before leaving that the whales are being hunted so extensively that they will soon become extinct. Mr. Andrews during his stay at the whaling station on the west coast was enabled to study the subject at first hand. He himself saw more than 200 whales killed with the harpoon gun, with which the steam whalers Orion and St. Lawrence of the coast stations are armed. From the mast head of the Orion Mr. Andrews has witnessed their last struggles. Some of the whales measured eighty feet in length. From his observations carried on here and at other places he is satisfied that the days of the whale are numbered. Up to this date the two little steamers named have accounted for the lives of more than 500 whales, and in the course of a few weeks another station on the east coast of the island will be in full operation, while the sites for two more stations in the Queen Charlotte Islands have been selected, and by next season these also will be at work adding to the slaughter. An effort is now being made to introduce whale meat as an article of food Already quite a trade is done with Japan in canned and salted whale meat. The new idea is to start a campaign to educate the people of European race on the undoubted merits of the new diet. Samples of canned whale meat have been distributed from the headquarters of the whaling company in this city, and those who have tried it say that the meat is exceedingly palatable, being much tenderer than beef and greatly resembling it in taste. At present tons and tons of whale flesh are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, which are one of the most valuable by-products of the industry, but it takes three tons of flesh to make one of fertilizer, and this latter is sold at the rate of two cents per pound, the price at which the salted meat is sold. For this reason the company is trying to create a larger market for the meat, both salted and canned. MEN 100,000 YEARS AGO Exchange Professor Peck Deduces This from Conditions in Alpine Cave. London.—Prof. Peck, director of the Berlin Deep Sea Institute and American Exchange professor, is to lecture on the interesting anthropological discovery made in a wonderful cave named the Weldkerchlhohle, at Santis, Switzerland. Dr. Eckehardt discovered this cave and later on Dr. Bachier unearthed in it numerous remains of a colony of bears with a quantity of human bones of the prepalaeolithic period The discovery showed that mankind dwelt in the cave and lived on the bears which they killed in hunting Prof. Peck in the course of a visit it to the cave ascertained that this state of things could only have occurred during the last interglacial era. He thereby proved that human beings must have lived in the mountains before the last glacial modification of the Alps, which, according to Prof. Peck's calculation, was about 100,000 years ago. Robbed Ostrichs Tucson, Arizona.—J. H. Blevn, and J. H. Rinehart were arrested, charged with the theft of feathers from ostriches. The feathers show that they have been pulled out of the ostriches and not plucked in the regular way. This is always a damaging proceeding and sometimes results fatally. At any rate, a feather will never grow in the socket from which a feather has been pulled. Blevn and Rinehart were sent to the county jail. MADE TO ENTOMB A TARTAR GIML Austrian Mason Goes Insane After a Horror Among Caucasus Tribe. Odessa.—Peter Kavulitch, an Austrian mason, went mad here as the result of brooding over being forced to wall up the daughter of the chieftain of a Tartar tribe in the Caucasus in a living tomb. He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken blind folded into the mountains, compelled to build the wall around the girl and then was turned loose outside Baku. For a week he led a party of soldiers in a vain attempt to find the girl. The girl was condemned to death in the tomb because she eloped with one of her father's servants. She was engaged to the son of a wealthy Tartar, and all preparations had been made for the wedding. She was caught with the servant after a two days' chase, and was tried at a family council. It was decided to build a wall around her and leave her to her fate. Kavulitch was kidnapped, and he was taken into the mountains to find the whole tribe drawn up to witness the living burial of the girl. The man protested against the work, but his life was threatened unless he obeyed. The girl was tied hand and foot to a stake. She implored mercy, but her cries were unheeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to follow it with a wall two feet thick. The wall was raised a foot above the victim's head, and a small opening was made for air, so that her sufferings might be prolonged. As soon as his work was finished Kavullitch was blindfolded again. He was set at liberty with 100 roubles in his pocket. He came to Odessa and went mad in the street. He was taken to a hospital in a straitjacket. A LOAF OF BREAD PUT IN TWO COPFINS. Grave Now Contains Other Part. Brooklyn.-Adolph Raad, who formerly lived at No. 110 Laquer street, was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, the coffin containing one-half of a loaf of rye bread, the other half of which had been buried with Mrs. Raad four years ago. The aged couple were born in Ludenbach, Germany. They purchased a farm in what is now Flatbush, and as the city gradually encroached upon their farm land they cut it up and sold it until they were soon able to retire comfortably. There is an old German custom of making a wish whenever a fresh loaf of bread is cut. On September 7, 1904, Mrs. Raad had just made the customary wish, and was about to cut a loaf when she dropped dead. The husband cut the loaf and put half in his wife's coffin. The other half was preserved in a tin box, the neighbors having been instructed to put it in his coffin. FORTUNE FOR FAMILY OF SWINDLED MAN. Restitution Puts Impoverished Widow and Children in Affluence. Galveston, Tex. — Mrs. George Overton and family of two sons and two daughters who have been eking out an existence on a small farm near Fort Lancaster, in Crockett County, have been presented with a thousand-acre ranch in Edward County, well stocked with cattle. and $10,000 in cash, by a former partner of the husband and father of the Overtons. George Overton, who died five years ago, was once a wealthy cattleman of West Texas, but entered into a mining project with a man who swindled him out of his wealth and lands. The partner disappeared fifteen years ago and went to Mexico, where he amassed wealth in mining and returned to make restitution. FIRST SEA VOYAGE. Discovery Shows It to Have Been 2-000 Years Before Solomon. Chicago.-Prof. James S. Breasted of the University of Chicago, announced his discovery in Sicily of a portion of a tablet covered with inscriptions, showing that Solomon did not make the first sea voyages. He says that the translation shows that the builder of the first pyramid made a journey with forty ships across the Mediterranean to Lebanon for cedar. This, he says, was two thousand years before Solomon's time. Colin Found in a Fish's Backbone Coin found in a Fish Backbone. Long Branch, N. J.—Nellie Case, a servant in the home of Mrs. Oliver Byron, discovered a nickel imbedded in the backbone of a butterfly while preparing the fish for the Monday meal. The fish was bought at the market of Capt. John Hennessey. Capt. Hennessey was unable to explain the finding of the coin in the bone of the fish. He is confident, however, that the fish must have swallowed it. Lasso Saved Man From Abysia ban Francisco, Cal.—Lassoed at the brink of a steep precipice, A. L.

Rogers swung his seep and caught Banks around the waist. WEALTHY DOCTOR TELLS HOW HE DIES "I Feel the Soul Fleeing," His Record Ends-A Remarkable Narrative Discovered. HIS YOUNG WIFE FINDS BODY Scientist's Dying Memorandum to Be Added to the Data of Psychical Research—Ill Health the Motive for His Dramatic and Spectacular Suicide. Cincinnati.—Devotion to science dominated Dr. J. J. Blair even in his resolution to die, and after drinking cyanide of potassium, he sat at his desk and wrote a description of his sensations. He chroniclecled the phenomena of dying, as long as he could direct his pen, as faithfully as those of any of the thousands of other cases in his medical experience. It was evident from the memorandum found by his young wife shortly after she discovered his body that the physician to the last was interested keenly in what, perhaps, he regarded only as his final great experiment. The point of greatest interest is that in his last moments he seemed to experience proof of after life. Instead of recording that he felt darkness descending upon him, as might be expected of purely physical sensations, he wrote as if his real self was quitting his body. Coming from a scientist, a man 61 years old, who not only was a successful practitioner, but as a chemist amassed millions in the manufacture of medicines, the final sentence is considered of vital importance. "I feel the soul fleeing," it ran. Dr. Blair was not given to figures of speech. He was intensely practical and noted for calling a spade a spade. It is believed by his associates he meant exactly what he wrote; that he felt, his consciousness not being extinguished, but simply withdrawn from further control of the flesh. They insist if his sensation had been merely the approaching cessation of his material life he would have written, "I feel the end coming," or simply, "I am dying." It is the intention of several of his friends to send a report of the case to the American Society for Psychical Research, in the belief it will be regarded by that body as a valuable addition to the data of the search for spiritual experiences. The pen with which Dr. Blair wrote the story of his death still was in his hand when Mrs. Blair found him dead. His wife was away from him only for a few minutes before and after he died. He wrote a letter early in the afternoon, and asked her to mail it for him. She went directly to the nearest mail box and returned. In that brief interval, however, her husband not only swallowed the poison, but found time to write what he felt. "I have just sent my wife out to mall a letter," Dr. Blair wrote. "She little thinks that when she returns I will be dead. I have taken Cyanide of potassium, and already feel myself going into a strange sphere It is sublime. Five minutes have passed and I feel the soul fleeing." Then followed a blur, showing that the physician had tried to write more, but the poison had taken effect. A few moments later he was found dead. III health was the motive for the sulcide. Dr. Blair chose historical Stony Point, a tiny river peninsula in Riverside, a suburb of this city, as the scene of his spectacular and dramatic sulcide. His magnificent bungalow, on the river bank above, with within his sight and his fast steel launch and boats were moored nearby in the river. BROOKLINE BABIES MAY YELL ALL NIGHT. No Law to Prevent Crying. Wise Selectmen Decided. Boston.—The bables of Brookline, wealthiest town in the world, may yell at the top of their healthy young lungs and as long as they please now. Let nervous old maids go in hysteria and crusty bachelors tear their hair; it makes no difference to the crying bables. Very small Donald Howard, who lives with his papa and mamma, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Howard, at William and Harvard streets, Brookline, has had a pain under his rib recently, and has cried a great deal. Neighbors of the Howards complained to the Board of Selectment that little Donald disturbs their peace by day, murders their sleep and is a public nuisance generally. Very gravely, the Selectment considered the complaint. They decided, and the precedent now stands in Brookline, that there is no law that forbids a baby to cry, and that therefore, cry as he may, he cannot legally be considered a public nuisance. Gets 800,000 for Butterflies Reading, Pa.—The famous collection of butterflies and moths belonging to the late Herman Strecker, of this city, has been sold to the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, by Mrs. Strecker for $30,000. The collection is said to be the finest in the world. Doctor was Worried When His Face Began to Stiffen—Fought Disease St. Louis.—Dr. F. W. Grundmann of Washington avenue, who was pronounced out of danger from lock-jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how he felt during his illness. "In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sure," said Dr. Grundmann. "One day, as I was stepping off a street car, it started permaturely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was ripped in my trousers, and a gash cut in the flesh of my knee, into which earth from the street was ground. "It gave me no trouble, palned me very little and I gave it no further thought. About a week later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Next I observed spasmodic jerking of the limbs. These I knew to be premonitory symptoms of lockjaw. "I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistaken, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I believed I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless I was worried, and when that night the symptoms grew more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them all the more closely. "That night I got a real shock. I observed a growing rigidity of the muscles of the jaws. If it kept on they would become locked beyond all hope of unlocking them. "In one day I had 6,000 units, about a fluid ounce, of the serum injected. My jaws continued slowly to grow more rigid, but we fought the disease with the serum until at last we saw that we had the disease going the other way, and we fought it out. "The germs of tetanus may be in any manner of dirt. If you have a wound in your finger and go out into the garden and stick it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting lockjaw." RELIGION CAUSES NERVE CURES IN EVERY CASE. Rev. Dr. McWilliams of Cleveland Shares No. Cases Has Been a Failure Says No Case Has Been a Failure. Cleveland.—The Rev. Dr. I. S. McWilliams, pastor of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, this city, made public a statement, in which he de- clared that for several months he has had success in healing, both the body and mind by religious influence. He set forth that, he has wrought cures of serious nervous alliments and dipsomania. In not a single case, it was said, has there been fail- ure. "I have wonderfully expanded my sphere of pastoral work by the use of religious therapeutics," said Dr. McWilliams. "I do not pretend to be a faith healer. Instead, I merely try to make the patient know the power of his mind. I have told all the sufferers who have come to me about the sub-conscious mind. I have told him this mind is a reservoir upon which he may draw. I lead the patient to see he has been battling against disease with only a fraction of his force. "I have found that the patient best can reach the sub-conscious mind when the conscious mind is passive and quiescent. I instruct the patient how to relax those muscles which have been drawn like the strings of an overtuned violin. When the sub-conscious mind is reached I suggest ideas to work against the disease. I would not dare to say I myself know all about this method of treatment; what I do know is that it has wrought cures in every instance. The one man who was difficult was a drunkard. I treated him twice before going on my vacation, and I have heard he has taken only two glasses of beer since." A BUFFER STRIP: Victoria Government Sets Aside Land Along American Boundary. Victoria, B. C.-The provincial government has set aside a strip of land sixty feet wide along the international boundary line, which will not be available for pre-emption, and on which a permanent reserve, extending to all mining rights, will be placed. This follows an arrangement with the United States government by the British Ambassador at Washington. Frequent trouble has been occasioned heretofore by the lack of this buffer strip in the arrest of criminals and in the application of mining and other laws. The United States government also sets aside a similar strip, and thus the neutral zone will be 120 feet wide. Royal Donkey Wins Race. London.—A donkey belonging to Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein won the open donkey race, at Windsor Forest athletic sports. The animal, which is named The Sirdar, formerly belong to Queen Victoria. It was almost twice as large as any other donkey competing. Find Fossil Ears. Rano, Nev.—Fossil eggs, some of them as large as a man's head, which were found in the two thousand-foot tunnel at Copperreid, have been pronounced genuine by Horace Chapman, of the University of Pennsylvania faculty. WEDS GIRL WHO IS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE Man Loyal Five Years After Accident and Would Not Take No for an Answer. SWAIN PERSUADES HER AT LAST He Kneels Beside Her Chair Through the Coremony—Her Spine Hurt by a Fall—She was So Lonesome Without Him and He Without Her. St. Louis.--Five years of loyalty on the part of August Mirtzwa of Hannibal convinced his sweetheart he knew what was best when despite an injury to her spine that changed her from a red-cheeked girl to a hopeless cripple, he insisted they be married. The girl held off through all those years, not because she did not love the man more dearly than ever for his devotion, but from a feeling it would not be right to let him sacrifice his life to her. Mirtzwa persisted in his supplementary wooing, however, and at last the young woman accepted his assurance he would be happier with her than without her, terrible though her affliction was. So in the home of her cousin, No 1231 Gratan street, they were wed, and the bridegroom went back to Hannibal to attend to imperative business, leaving his bride in the care of specialists. It was a pathetic marriage. Mirtxwa, big and strong and young, knelt beside the chair in which the girl sat with difficulty. His arm, thick as many a man's leg, encircled her, and most of the time her head was on his shoulder. She was so weak that her responses were scarcely audible. All who saw her except, perhaps, Mirtxwa, thought her death only a question of weeks, if not days. The voice of the clergyman who performed the simple ceremony broke several times before the end of the service, and it was with much emotion in his tones that he wished the couple all happiness. With such a ghost of womanhood the bride, the conventional words sounded almost like mockery. "Gus and I were engaged to be married before I fell and hurt myself," said Mrs. Mirtzwa. "I lived in Oakwood and he lived in Hannibal, three miles away. I never knew what it was to be ill. I had rosy cheeks and was strong, and full of fun, and Gus was a big, strong fellow, too, as he is now. "One day I slipped on the icy sidewalk, and my spine was injured in some way, and I have been ever since as you see me, except that most of the time I cannot even sit up as I can now. "Gus wished to marry me right after I was hurt, but I refused. I did not-wish to burden him with an invalid, and to all his coaxing I would not consent. He sent me to St. Louis to see if I could be cured, but I seemed to get worse. When he came and saw how I looked he said I must marry him right away." Mrs. Mirtzwa's fingers plucked at the fringe of the shawl that covered her shoulders and her face saddened. "I suppose I shouldn't have done it," she continued. "A man so good as Gus deserves a wife who is better than an invalid. But I did think I was going to die; it had been so lonely here without him. So I consented, and he hurried out and came back with the license and a minister, and we were married here. I sat in this chair and he knelt beside me during the ceremony. "I do hope I shall get well," said Mrs. Mirtzwa, as she gazed out of the window. UNEARTHS HITTITE TEMPLE. Fine Sculptures Discovered by Prof. Garstang on Slope of Mount Taurus. London.—Continuing the recent excavations near Alntab on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, Aslatic Turkey, Prof. Garstang has discovered at Sakjegeux the sanctuary of a Hittite temple. There is a massive sculptured lion on each side of the entrance, besides carved reliefs representing Aslatic deities, sphinxes and other religious emblems. In the middle of the floor space is a large altar, guarded by a winged sphinx with a human head. The sculptures are of excellent workmanship and are in good condition. Woman to Manage Mule Farm. Seattle, Wash.—Miss Anna Howard, who has been dean of the department of women in the University of Washington, has left Seattle to become manager of a Kentucky-mule farm. Since 1896 Miss Howard has been engaged in educational work in this State, principally at the university. "Why shouldn't I succeed?" she said. "I have been reared on the farm; I know all about it and am only going on with my father's business." Squash Weighs 74 Pounds. Taunton; Mass.—A Taunton policeman recently grew the largest squash in New England, weighing seventy-four pounds, and measuring 5 feet 11 3-4 inches in circumference. Execution Dispute Dr. Shrady Theory. Gosining, N. Y.—Dr. H. T. Irvine, has been for seventen years prison physical at Sing Sing, takes issue with George F. Shrady, who has been quoted saying that there is a doubt in the minds of scientific men as to whether a man shocked by electricity, as carried on by the State in executions, really dies. Dr. Shrady says the results of autophes held on persons killed, in this man- ner have not been convincing. Dr. Irvine, when told of the statements of Dr. Shrady, said: "I have been present and seen sixty-four persons put to death by electricity in this State, and there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever but what all those men were absolutely killed by the electric shock and that death is instantaneous. The changes produced by the electric shock are such that resuscitation, in my opinion, is absolutely impossible. The amount of fresh blood found in the cranium in all of these sixty-four cases I have seen in itself would preclude any possibility of saving a man. Then you have the patechial hemorrhages in the brain tissues. They change in the structure of the blood after the electrical shock. Any one of these, in my opinion, would prove fatal, but when you have them all in each and every case, as I have noticed in autopsies, death is, in my opinion, unquestionable." Coroner Shrady is quoted as saying: "I do not insist that electrocution, as now practiced, does not kill. I only say that a scientific doubt exists. If life exists in the body and the apparent death is only suspended animation, then the surgeon who examines the body kills that man in the autopsy and becomes the executioner." JURY MELTED BY POEM OF BYRON. Acquita Man-Who Shot Wife After Listening to "Don Juan." Chicago.—Quotations from Lord Byron's "Don Juan," read by his lawyer, brought about the acquittal of Martina Schleyer, on trial in Kendosha. Wis., on a charge of shooting his wife. The defense of Schleyer, as announced by his attorneys, George W. Taylor and Calvin Stewart, was to have been the "unwritten law," but when the case came up a plea of insanity was made, and the jury decided that Schleyer was insane when he shot the woman, but he had recovered his sanity. The jury acquitted him. Schleyer testified to his wife's conduct with a man whom he had shot at the time he shot her. When the case came to argument Taylor discussed legal points and emotional insanity. Stewart paid no attention to the law, and not much to the evidence, but declared that Schleyer had been like the hero of Byron's poem. While the jurymen brushed tears from their cheeks, Stewart read from "Don Juan," and compared the character of Lambro, who had returned only to find his home and fireside wrecked and his children turned against him. District Attorney Baker had made a bitter arraignment of Schleyer, but Stewart had reached the hearts of the jurora through Byron's poetry. Schleyer was formerly a prominent resident of Rochester, N. Y. FOUGHT DEVIL FISH. Diver Killed Monster After Terrific Submarine Duel San Francisco.—Wrapped in the tentacles of a giant devil fish, Martin Lund, a diver, fought for his life in the hold of the wrecked steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty feet of water in Fort Ross Cove, off the Marin County coast: A tentacle four inches in diameter first gripped Lund's legs. Another encircled his thigh. He began to chop frantically at the rubber-like bonds and at the same time signalled to the barge above that he wished to ascend. Unable to free himself in time two more tenacles twined about his neck. The efforts of the men on the surface to comply with his signal threatened to pull his helmet off and he was forced to signal them to desist. With only his left arm free he backed at the tenacles until they were partially crippled, but he was being drawn toward the deadly beak when he saw the outline of the devil fish's body. Plunging suddenly toward it he drove his knife with all his force into the head, repeating the blow until he had slashed it into sections. The dying octopus tightened its tentacles until the diver was almost crushed in its embrace. Lund then cut himself free and was brought to the surface in a fainting condition. Cornstalks for Water Mains Medicine Lodge Kan.—Experiments conducted by the Metropolitan Water Company with the reinforced cornstalk pipes have proved successful, and a company to manufacture them has been organized here, with Hon. Estabrook Aspinwall as president. It is estimated that the pipe can be placed on the market at one-fath of the cost of castiren pipe, and the new material will outwear the iron. The supply of raw material is inexhaustible. The company will be stocked for $6,000-000.
