VOL.XXIX NO41 THOUSANDS TO STATE FAIR One of the Most Notable Addresses Ever Delivered Here by a Color- Tampa, Florida, Feb. 26-With thousands of people, white and colored on the grounds, yesterday, Negro day proved the biggest day of the Florida State Fair with the exception of Bryan day. For the first time in the history of the state the Negroes were given an opportunity to demonstrate their progress along all lines, as the day was especially set apart for them by the fair management. Everyone pronounced the day a success from every standpoint, and it reflects considerable credit to the fair management that everything went off so smoothly and with so much enthusiasm. The weather was ideal for the occasion, and this guaranteed a much larger attendance than would have otherwise resulted. In the morning a parade of the school children was formed at the Odd Fellow's hall, Scott street and Central, which marched to the fair grounds reaching there about 11 o'clock. This was the signal for a general gathering at the grounds, and thousands gathered at the grandstand where an address was delivered by Dr. John C. Dancey, recorder of deeds, who came to the city from Washington, District of Columbia, especially to be present at Negro day. In his address Dr. Dancey expressed his gratification for the opportunity of addressing the colored people of Florida and reviewing with them the progress which has been made by the Negro race in the forty-four years since emancipation. He declared that Florida, the "Land of Flowers" to which the people came from all over the world for the purpose of regaining their health, still possessed the fountain of youth for which Ponce DeLeon sought. He reviewed the growth of Florida in the past few years and commented on the improvements made at Pensacola, Jacksonville and Tampa. He spoke of Tampa in particular, declaring that no city in the south has made greater strides forward than Tampa, the greatest cigar manufacturing city in the world. Have Done Their Duty Speaking of the enormous part which manufacturing has played in the development of the South since the war, the speaker declared that the colored people had done their full share in the development. Tampa, he stated, is a more cosmopolitan city than any other in the South, embracing every important nationality of the world, each of which is doing its part towards founding the future greatness of the city. In speaking of the rapid strides made by the colored people, the speaker related an anecdote about a Georgian who had never seen a locomotive. He would not believe that it would go even after examining it. Finally the engineer started it off and the engine rapidly went out of sight. The farmer then expressed his views that "the blame thing would never stop." Dr. Dancey declared that it is the same way with the colored people. Dr. Dancey then highly complimented the fair association for the opportunity they so generously gave to the Negroes of Florida to show the world what they have been doing the past forty-four years; the large crowd present enthusiastically attesting their approval for the opportunity afforded. The interests of the two races, the speaker contended, are identical; harm to one means harm to the other; help to one race means a corresponding benefit to the other race. He compared the situation in this regard to that presented by capital and labor, the latter feeling the benefit of a prosperous season experienced by the others; a slump of labor means a slump for capital. Pay Much Taxes The Negroes, since the civil war, the speaker declared, have contributed millions of dollars annually to the ) nation's prosperity He stated that the Negroes have contributed more to the nation's wealth under freedom than under slavery; when there were four millions of them, they produced only four million bales of cotton; now they are ten millions of them and they produce twelve million bales annually. The Negro is helping himself in the erection of homes, the cultivation of farms, the establishing of banks, the building of churches and the improvement of schools, developing the industrial resources of the entire nation. Beginning at nothing in 1865, the census of 1900 showed a wealth of $100,000,000, with 18,000 teachers in schools, instructing 3,000,000 children. Where there were only untrained men in the pulpits at the close of the war, now there are 5,000 trained ministers; there are 1,000 lawyers who have been trained since the war and 1,500 physicians where there were not a HE ADDRESSED THOUSANDS A dozen in 1865. One of the largest silk factories in the world, at Fayettville, North Carolina, is manned, controlled and operated by colored people. This factory employs 5,000 people. In illustrating how closely the colored people are following in the steps of progress made by the white race, Dr. Dancey told a story about two men who went to a haunted house, neither believing in ghosts. When something actually appeared, both took to their heels and ran as fast as they could a distance of a mile and a half until a house was reached. One of the men had a wooden leg, but he reached the house right after the other man and in time to prevent the door being closed in his face. The Negro race, the speaker contended, is following right behind the white people, and doesn't propose to have the door shut in its face. Takes Hard Work In the development of the inexhaustible resources of the greatest country on earth, it takes constant, unflagging hard labor at the hands of all the people, and every race must be given an opportunity to aid in the great work. The colored man must play his part. Every people's greatness, according to Dr. Dancey, must be largely judged by their aptness and skill at the arts, which are now being largely taught in the public schools. In its claims to greatness along this line, the race can present such names as Paul Lawrence Dunbar; the poet; Douglas Price and Booker Washington, orators; Tanner, the painter; Taylor, the musician. Dr. Dancey declared that the Negro exhibits at the state fair attest the great skill of the colored-people along all lines, and that this is only a beginning, a mere phophecy of what is to come hereafter. The people's actions are the result of previous thought, and what achievements are now evident are the result of past thoughtfuiness. Speaking of February, the speaker declared that the month has ben honored by the birth RECORDER J AT TAMPA, FLORIDA. — THE of three great men, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Fred Douglas. All of these were products of the soil. Complete development must come from such cultivation. The factory and the farm and industrial life generally is the great arena of the future for the colored race in which its greatest triumphs will be made known. At ten o'clock last night a banquet was served in Dr. Dancey's honor by leading colored citizens at the Odd Fellows' hall, Scott and Central, where several hundred people attended. Merriment was carried on until a late hour. The following toasts were proposed: The Florida State Fair, G. S. Middleton, president of the Negro department; the Clergy, Rev. J. B. Green; the Layman, G. H. Sheehy; Our Teachers, Mrs. M. C. Meacham; Our Professional Men, Dr. M. J. Anderson; Our Young People, Miss B. M. Armwood; Our Guest, J. N. Clinton; Our Government, Dr. John C. Dancey; the Ladies, J. T. Kling. The toastmaster was A. J. Ferrell, who performed his duties to the satisfaction of all. Dr. Dancey expressed himself as being much impressed with what he had seen in this city and with the cordial reception which he has received from the colored people. "I am much pleased,' he said last night. "I have been wined and dined and shown a good time ever since I arrived. I meant just what I said about Tampa in my speech. The city certainly has a great future." Dr. Dancey will leave over the Seaboard this morning for Washington in order to be present at the inauguration of President-elect'Taft.

ROOSEVELT Identified With the Outgoing Administration, the Colored Collector at Charleston Declares He Desires to "Retire With His Chief"—No Charges Against Him, but Confir- J. C. DANCY GREATEST SPEECH EVER DELI mation Is Again Held Up. Charleston, S. C., March 1.—With the resignation of Dr. William D. Crum as collector of customs at this port, the resignation to take effect March 4, a situation which threatened to cause President-elect Taft considerable embarrassment is avoided No appointment made by President Roosevelt during either of his administrations has given rise to as much discussion as that of Dr. Crum., and whose appointment at Charleston was vigorously opposed because of the fact that he is a Negro. A long and hard fight against his confirmation was made by Senator Tillman and others when he was first named for the position by President Roosevelt in 1903, and within the last few weeks, following his reappointment, Senator Tillman has conducted a successful filibuster against his confirmation by the Senate. Resignation Voluntary. Dr. Crum says that no pressure has been brought to bear upon him now to cause him to resign, but that he does so in part because he wishes to save Mr. Taft, for whom he enter- tains great respect, from any possible embarrassment as to his reappointment, and chiefly because he feels that he has been especially identified with President Roosevelt's administration and he wishes to retire with his chief. In his letter to President Roosevelt, after thanking the President for appointing him six years ago, and for renominating him recently for a second term, he says: "Since assuming the duties of this position I have striven diligently, to justify the confidence imposed in me. During all these years, so far as I know, not a single charge has been brought against my moral character or a single adverse criticism made in regard to the performance of my official duties. "I wish further to add that those employed in this office under me, composed of both races, have been at all LIVERED BL HIM. times courteous, kind, and interested, and we have all worked together to make the office work successful and satisfactory. Godspeed to the President. "Before closing, I feel that I should add that during all these years I have been treated with kindness and courtesy by all those who have had official business with the office, and have not had unpleasant contact with anyone in the city. "In conclusion, permit me to thank you again for the trust imposed, and to wish you as you end your official career, a hearty godspeed and long life." A GREAT SERMON Every available space in the 19th Street Baptist Church was filled last Sunday morning with a distinguished congregation to listen to the eloquent Dr. Brooks who delivered the most eloquent and scholarly discourse that one would desire to hear. This well known pastor never fails to interest his congregation. His sermon last Sabbath was one of the best that has been delivered for some time. There are still many visitors in the city who were here to the inauguration. The committee in charge of the festivities in connection with the inauguration of Mr. Taft, deserves unlimited praise for the success. The St. Luke organization held an enthusiastic meeting last Tuesday evening at Second Baptist church. Mr. Roosevelt may not have pleased everybody, but if his conscience is at ease, he did his duty. Mr. Taft is President of the entire union and should not be censured for doing all he can for the betterment of all sections. Superintendent William A. White, of the Government Hospital, has asked Congress to change the name of the institution because many persons dislike the publicity given their family connections, in sending letters to an "Insane Hospital" through the mail. The parents and their friends of North Newport News, Virginia, have formed an organization for the purpose of raising money to extend the length of the school term. May success crown their efforts. Mrs. Anna B. Jones, the grandmother of Bishop Lampton, who died quite recently, was, according to reports, a centenarian, being 101 years old at the time of her death. The English authoress, Charlotte Mansfield, in her journey from Cape Town, South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt, about 5000 miles, expects to meet Mr. Roosevelt somewhero in the jungles. She will be accompanied by native guides. The institutional department of the First Congregational church, Atlanta, Georgia, has been intrusted to Miss Marie Woolfolk, a graduate of Howard University. The Nashville Clarion says hundreds of men lose their right to vote, not on account of the laws of disfranchisement in Tennessee, but because they will not pay their poll taxes nor will they register. Thomas Ford was killed last week in Chicago by Jenks Parker. Both men are descended rom Ham, and the woman in the affair is a Caucasian. j. Franklin, white, and R. Ford, colored, shot each other to death last week in El Dorado, Arkansas, and the woman in this affair was a Negress. Two of a kind. Take your choice. Among the subjects discussed at the Farmer's Conference, held at Tuskegee, last month was the following: "How can we succeed in keeping our women who are not engaged in business off the streets and away from public places?" Notwithstanding it was not permitted on former occasions, it seemed quite the proper thing for the wife of the President and the wife of the Vice President to be in the carriage with their husbands to and from the Capitol last Thursday. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani paid her last call on Ex-President Roosevelt last Tuesday and gave him a new book written by her entitled "Hawaii by Hawaii's Queen." It is stated on good authority that George Walker, of William's and Walker's show, has been placed in a New York sanitarium, in a demented condition, to receive treatment. "Bandanna Land" was being played in Dayton, Ohio, at the time of the break down of Mr. Walker. Health Officer William C. Woodward has issued a warning to women against using mixtures for dressing the hair, "containing a large percentage of naptha." REV. MASON There was a large and representative audience present to greet Rev. James E. Mason of Rochester, New York, at True Reformers' Hall, last Sunday afternoon, the occasion being the regular meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association. Rev.

Hoe $3.00 A YOUNG LION SLAYER. 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 kamir boy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus selzed 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 whetter 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. Poisons Brazilian Vipers. Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know mottiles," 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 cueu 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 Mokl Indian women of Arizona have an ingenious and romantic form of coifure. 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 locks hang straggling down their backs, typical of the withered stalk of the dead or dying plant. fati gent..... than thine. her lich..... an Macht.

Vegetable Milk. "Vegetable milk" is used in Japan. it is made from the soja bean. The liquid is exactly like cow's milk in appearance, and in taste can hardly be distinguished from it. To make it the beans are first soaked and then boiled in water. Some sugar and phosphate potassium are added, and it is boiled down till it has the consistency of condensed milk.

"One of the latest schemes of the counterfeit money swindlers is to show guillible people a machine with which they can print for themselves large size bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Khodes, formerly of the secret service. "This money producing machine has a smooth demonstrator who will, after getting a prospective victim interested, turn the crank and grind out a $20 note, which, it is needless to say, is genuine. The victim shows the bill to a bank cashier, and bears it pronounced good, and his mercenary nature being aroused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharper $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall o. an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the horrified expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solemnity, if the boss is not around that the swaying of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered a considerable shock. N. Y. World. Odd South American Animals. Many curious animals haunt the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to, making vicious springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copu rat and the swarthy pliglike tapir are frequently seen. A'eng the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabiru, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoons, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prospection.—Scotsman. The Gingko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oollite series, at Brora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Platter Skirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is for woolen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each lest can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balzac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on rayer meeting night felt a little bit shamed when she asked for the cook, but the sexton assured her she did not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole it less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a orange grist of forgotten or disrupted articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Jenna a bear deliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his age so as to draw a piece of floating bread within his reach. These actions of the bear could hardly be attributed to instinct or inherited habit, as they would be of little use an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothpicka.

If the pres- “ent, so-called leadership would adopt and argue the doctrine of Dr. B: T. Washington, conditions would be better. The great trouble with some of the present leadership, is its tendency to get away from the colored race. Some white people may appre ciate an amalgamated off-spring. The Bee means an off-spring that crows for white association. The sensible white man recognizes merit and ability to be able to do. The question now is, “What is the power of the present leader- ship? Where does it begin and how does it exist?” ‘The President has given color- ed Americans some good advice. Will colored Americans follow it? So far as the Southern pfo- ple are concerned, they will not remain so vicious and so inimi- cal to the Southern colored American, if he will make poli- tics an incident and not the di- rect object of his citizenship. Throughout the entire South, or at least some parts of the South. colored Americans are making remarkable progress. “In the state of North Carolina, colored citizens have started businesses thgt commend them to the better and more conservative element of white citizens. The colored man in business is the key note of the race's progress. ° Washington, District of Co- lumbia, is the Capital of this great and powerful republic. There are from eighty to_eighty- five thousand colored ‘Ametigans. What have they done and what are they doing? Social functions are the predominating features of their ambition, If they were as successful in conducting” a legitimate business as they are organizing social clubs and social functions, what a succes$ this people would make. The Bee doesn’t object to so- cial functions; it merely points out the prevaiing ambition of many of the leading colored citi- zens of Washington. _In many instances character is a second. ary consideration. A man whe drinks whiskey is often excludec from many a social function while the thug and libertine are given boss parts, At a recent meeting of a socia club the name of a very distin guished and well knowg citizer from one oj the Icading families was rejected because it wa claimed that he got drunk, Man; of those who voted for his re jection could not stand muste in a defunct garbage associatioz and yet the young man was no permitted to attend the socia function given by the club. 1 turned out that the man whx made the strongest protest woul not be admitted to respectabl society. There may be a fev young men connected with thi association, who can stand thi tays of the calcium light and they made the least objection. The man or woman who finds so many immoral imperfection: in others is himself or herself a suspicious character. Leadership, political ‘and so- cial, needs’ reconstructing. es a ee It has been proposed by the department of state to send a Commission to Liberia for the purpose of investigating the con- ditions of ‘that black republic. The question now is, what character of men shall go? The Bee is of ‘the opinion that the state department will select men of the highést character and pos- sessing unquestioned ability. Can such men be! fond? Men who will do credit to the colored Americans? The Bee feels con- fident that this country can pro- duce meh who will reflect credit upon the nation. Every nationality has no doubt been assisted by this country in some way. Nationalities that have been of no service to tiie country, but more of a draw- back. The colored American has been loyal and patriotic and have given up their lives to uphold this republic. | The Bee would suggest Dr. Booker T. Washington, as chair- man of that commission. He is a man of broad and national ex- perience, who knows the needs of the colored people. Dr. James E. Sheppard, of North’ Carolina, should be the second member of that commission, Dr. Sheppard has travelled through many parts of Africa. and other places of importance, and he also knows the colored man's needs. Dr. Sheppard is highly educated and a gifted writer. & Bishop Abrahanvy Grant, of In- dianapolis, Indiana, should be the third member of the comrhission. Bishop Grant knows the colored man’s needs in Africa. He would no doubt, give the true condi. tions as they exist in the blact republic. . . _ With such a commission as The Bee has named, there is no doubt of general satisfaction be- ‘ing given. 5 DR. CRUM RESIGNED | Drs W. D. Crum, of Charles- ba South Carolina, has done what he was told’ to do several months ago. He was told not to make a fight for reappointment, but to remain quiet. Not taking the advice of friends, he persist- ed in asking President Roosevelt for reappointment, with the re- sult of being turned down by the Senate. * | The advice of The Bee is now, for Wr. Crum to retire from poli- tics and pursue the practite of his profession because politics and medicine are bad combina: tions. Nothing is more injurious to the human system than poli: tics and medicine. It has been rumored that Dr. Crum will seck another appointment. Why should he? What goor has he been to those who helpec him before? What good is he to his people? The suggestion of The Bee is that he retire from politics and practice medicine The people have betome sick 9 the whole business, ‘Two term: in any office should suffice th appetite of anyone. : * GRAFTERS There are individuals in this community who are without visible means of support, who may be seen inaugurating differ- ent schemes to fleece people out of money, Thgre is a great need of a strong vagrancy law in this city which would’ put every in- dividual to work. The most dangerous vagrant is the “pimp,” or that class of individuals that make whiskey and other cases against citizens. There ‘is gn- other class of individuals equal- ly as‘ dangerous ;the “Capper.”. No individual should be per- mitted to walk the streets with. out visible means of support. IMR. SCOTT DEAD The father of Attorney Ar- mond W. Scott, who died at his home jn North Carolina this week, was one of the best known business men in North Carolina. No man was more highly re- spected by all classes of people ‘more than Mr. Scott. A wife and several sons survive him. The Bee extends its, sympathy to the family of its friend, Law. ‘yer Scott. THE EDITOR'S 49th BIRTHDAY | The Editor of tlie Christian Index, Lad his 49th anniversary at “Evyer- green” on Monday night, February 15, 1909. There were several distin- gished friends present beside the em- ployees of the Publishing House, and several valuable presents presented. His birthday came on February 14, (Sunday) so it necessitated him te have his anniversary’ on Monday night following. This was his first time to celebrate such an occasion. He is not a novice, and at this age has some experience, From the Christian Index « RACE NEEDS RELIANCE ‘The movement to establish a na- tional industrial school in the District, with an agricultural school in Mary- land adjoining the District, obtained much impetus at two mass meetings held Sunday afternoon and last night at Convention Hall. Senator Hey- burn, who is especially interested in the moyement, made the talk of the day, in which he spoke of the neces- sity of such a school for elevating members of the colored race, The, movement to establish such a school for colored boys anti girls was launched June 30, 1907, by the Rev. Dr. S. Geriah Lamkins, who presided at yesterday's meetings. Dr. Lam- kins announced that he had. sucleeded in haying three acres of land donated for the trades building, and had pur- chased 77 1-2 acres of ground in the same district for the agricultural or farm school, to be located at Tuxedo, Maryland. It is improved by an eleven-room house, barn and poultry house, he said; has a number of fruit trees and plenty of woodland, and is well drained. , Easy of Access. The presiding officer explained that the tract is located on the Pennsyl- vania and Baltimore and Ohio rail- roads, and is within fifteen minutes walk pf Kenilworth car lines. Henry Williamson, who for nine years had had experience in gardening in North Carolina, he said, has been put in charge of the truck garden, ~ Dr, J. Anderson Taylor and Thom- as L, Jones also made addresses, after Senator Heyburn had spoken. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN AS. SOCIATION IN URGENT a NEED OF FIINDS Plans Laid to Collect in Subscriptions in order that the erection of the Colored Young Mens’ Christian As- sociation building may proceed rapid- ly, and without interruption, and in order that the everlasting disgrace of not being able to receive the promised $25,000 of John D. Reckefeller, the officials of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association has organized a plan to collect in subscriptions giv- en by colored men two years ago to ‘the $25,000 fund: Only half of this ‘subscribed fund has been paid in, and th’s amount was paid without solicita- tion. It is now necessary to ask the subscribers to pay in, and to this end an organization, known as the Re- demption Regiment, with Dr. Caban- niss as colonel, has been organized. There are ten companies in the regi- ment, each having a captain. Ralph W, Tyler was selected as campaigr rvdnager, with title of Secretary of War. Numerous prizes have beer offered byDr.Cabanniss to the captair and >rivate who collects the greates' amount of money in. It is to, b Loped that the friends of the Youn; Men's Christian Association, who s« generously subscribed, will now pa} promptly when the collectors call o1 them. The money is needed, ani needed badly. Don’t let the awfu disgrace of failure, in this grand ef fort to erect a Young Men's Christias Association building, be charged w Jagainst the Negroes of Washington The eyes of the country are now ot the colored citizens of this city. » RACE PROGRESS What have we done to earn our citizenship? Education for us began with the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863, up to which time the illiteracy of the Negro race may be admitted to have been total, This illiteracy had been ‘reduced to 445 per cent., OF Over one hall, up to the faking of the last census in 1900, the| jargest reduction of any one decade was from 1850 to 1900, during which time the reduction was from 57.1 to, 44.5 per cent, During the period from the Emancipation Proclamation to January Ist, 1900, in the state of Ohio, where the first steps to educate the Negro were taken, illiteracy of the race was reduced to 17.9 per = which shows the rapidity with which we are advancing along educational lines as compared with other coun- tries in which the inhuman institutoin of slavery never existe Italy has today 38 per cent. of il- literacy, Spain has 68 per cent., and Portugal 79.2 per cent. These are white countries with centuries of civilization behind them; yet the re- duction of illiteracy in the Negro race in the United States during only 45 years of freedom from the master’s Izsh and chains has been much great- er than with the people of the coun- tries named. As an illustration showing the great interest manifested by the Ne- gro race in the United States in ed- ucational advancement, I would men- tion the fact that there are now 40,000 Negro students in higher, institutions of learning, pursuing all branches of industrial, classical and scientific courses of studies. Forty thousand colored youths have graduated from secondary institutions of learning and 4,000 from colleges, The race has developed 30,000 teachers, more than 16,000 clergymen, 4,000 musicians, more than 2,000 actors and showmen, mote than 1,700 physicians and sur- geons, about 15,020 lawyers, 300 journalists, 250 dentists, 236 artists and art teachers, 100 literary persons, 120 civil engineers and surveyors, 82 bankers and brokers and 52 archi- tects. The race has about 200 insti- tutions for higher education in the United States. . In 1904 we owned property amounting to $1,100,000,000, We were operating 746,715 farms and owned 187,797 farms, or 25 pet cent. of the total, In the same year we were reni’ng $57,174 farms, or 74.6 per cent. of the total, This is not 2 bad showing for a race which the South has declared unfit to exercise its rights of citizenship and which is claimed to be a purchasable quantity when it comes to the exercise of suffrage. ' In 1900 the farm property. belong- ing to us was valued at $20,000,000, almost $300 for each Negro family. In the state of Georgia we owned, in 1901, 1,200,0co acres of land with an assessed valuation of $15,269,181. The auditor for the state of Virginia, in his report for 1904, says the colored people increased the value of eheir property in one year $1,054,626, mak- ing the value in that year of their total property -$19,554,884. More than one-fourth of all the farms in the South are operated by our people. It is an acknowledged fact, that the real backbone of our country is agri- culture, We bave recognized that fact and more than 2,000,0co of our people are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Nearly 1,500,000 are en- gaged in domestic and personal ser- vice, 275,0co are engaged in manu- facturing and mechanical pursuits and 47,324 are engagtd in profession- al pursuits, We have 20,000 churches, valued at many millions of dollars. What is there in the progress of the race that gives rise to unfavorable comparison with the progress of any people similarly situated? Where is the Negro problem we hear so much about? We have, from the time we were given the right to use our tal- ents, endeavored to be and have been self-supporting and progressfve. about? We have, from the time we were given the right to use our tal- ents, endeavored to be and have been self-supporting and progresstve. Many of us have attained the high- er branches of business and profes- sional life, Others have made mark- ed success in agricultural and mechan- ical vocations; all of which indicates that our aim and progress has been in the direction of independence and good citizenship. No class of men having been given right of suffrage have chérished more affectionately that privilege or used it more patriot- ically. Compare us with any race and you will find that our progress has been remarkable. ‘With all, we have never demanded that to which we were not entitled. We have asked to be given an opportunity to develog and become good citizens because we are men. Where that opportunity has been given us we have taken ad- vantage of it and proved ourselve: to be industrious and patriotic citi- zens. We admit there are some bad col ored people; but the same rule applies fo all other races, There is not a racé of people on the face of the earth without its criminal classes. Thera is pne characteristic that stands out above all others as to our race, and that is “the Negro by nature is not vicious like other races.” In fact, all the bad traits, and many of the good possessed by our people, were taught us by the white man. However, the great majority of both races are respectable, law-abiding and patriotic citizens. We have much to be proud of as a race; but ‘our greatest and noblest achievements are in the coming years. - | W. H, Grimshaw. LINGOLN PARK FOR THE , i MEMORIAL The art commission appointed by the President has reported that the site suggested by some of our citizens on the Union station plaza for the Lincoln memorial would be an artis- tic misfortune. In this, I as a citizen of Washington, heartily agree,, but I understand the commission has recom- mended that the memorial be placed somewhere near the. Washington monument, or at least in that section of the city. I must take issue with the commission, and say that, in my opinion, there is no spot in the Dis- trict so suitable or appropriate for the location of the Lincoln memorial as our present small but beautiful Lin- coln Park, rth and East Capitol strefts, The present statue there is not a fitting memorial, It is so small that it can scarcely be seen a blocl. without glasses, I would suggest that it be'moved to cover along with the statue of Washington, which was Io- cated for so many years at the east front of-our national Capitol, and that a memorial that would’be a fit- ting tribute to the name and memory of Abraham Lincoln be erected in its place, If we are to look forward and plan an even’balanced and harmontous city for those that are to come, then let it not be said that we who are here now were nearsighted in the proper distribution of our statuary, parks and public buildings. Lincoln Park would act as a sort of a balance to our Washington Monument on the west, and in direct line with the Cap- itol. For thirty-five years I have longed, watched and waited to see East Washington get something of mention, but up to the present, I am sorry to say, that I have almost wait- ed in vain. | The old Goddess of Liberty mus be very weary by this time looking at the Washington jail and the small- pox hospital. There is scarcely any- thing she can look at of a historical nature since the ‘Washington statue in its nakedness has been removed. Tames N. Bradley. T, M. GREGORY ON THE HARVARD DEBATING TEAM Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 28—The following men have been chosen by Harvard University to compose the ‘debating teams which will meet Yale and Princeton on March 26: T. M. |Gregory, ’10, of Bordentown, New | Jersey; D. Haar, Sp., of New York city; H. von Kaltenborn, '09, of Mad- ison, Wisconsin; I, K, Lewis 3L., of Rockland, Wisconsin; H. L.

Raymond, 10, of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, were chosen alternates. - Each man made a twélve-minute speech and gave a five-minute rebut- tal on the question, “Resolved, that al corporations engaged in interstate commerce should be compelled to take out a federal charter.” The speeches in genera] were re markable for the clearness of their arguments and for their thorougt treatment of a difficult subject. Th delivery was unusually forceful, anc «et wae natural at the same tinie. SCHOOL FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS A great educational mass meeting will be held at the 19th Street Bap- tist Church, Sunday, at 3 p. m, March 7, in the interest of the Na- tional Training School for Women and Girls.

Walker, Augusta, Georgia; A. S. Jackson, Texas; Mrs, M. T. Walk- er, Richmond, Virginia; Dr. A. R. Griggs, Texas; Mrs. M/C. Terrell W. Calvin Chase, Mrs. E, Mf. Jacke son, Miss Mattie Bowen, Districts Mrs. Lawson, Dr. D, Webster Davis, Richmond, Virginia; Miss M. M. Trimball, Texas; et al. Our own Miss N. H. Burroughs, who' has the supervision of this great movement in charge, will deliver the Principal address, Special music will be furnished by the 19th Street choir, assisted by other local and out of town talent, : The public is cordially invited to be present and take part, This will be one of the most in- teresting and instructing meetings ever held in the District of Columbia, and every one should avail himself of the opportunity to attend. To stay away is to miss a rare treat. DON’T CRIPPLE YOURSELF WITH, FALSE tInrac | There's a class of people who always hesitate to use their credit because ‘they imagine it stamps them as necd- ing help, = ‘ This may not come from a false pride, but surely shows a mistaken idea of the greatest factor in the busi- ness of the world. Statistics-show that ninety-five per cent, of the world’s business is done on credit. i A well known writer tells is that “It is impossible that the entire debt of a community could be paid at once.” And again, “A great advan- tage of a capitalist is not altogether his cash but the credit his capital commands.” This Jast applies as well to the regular income of the workingman. He has just the same right to credit, and the amount is in proportion to his ability and promptness in meeting ob- ligations. No man need feel ashamed to buy without using cash; rather “he may take pride in the fact that his credit allows him to do so. But remember that his credit is a sensitive com- modity and will not stand abuse. It always carries a promise on your part and thrives or dies accordingly as that promise is kept or broken.

TWO BEAUTIFUL woven Two noted beauties of New York sat together in the same box at the Opera recently. One had very white skin with pink cheeks and brown hair, The other had light brown. skin, pink cheeks and black, glossy hair, Most people thought the light brown woman had the advantage. Both of these women used Complex- ion Wonder Creme, No. 1, to make the skin lighter and’ No. 2 (Shell Pink) to give healthy, reddish tint to the cheeks, Every woman who uses this Wonder Creme will be improved if she follows the instructions of M.

No intoxicating liquors stimulate our brains and darken our councils. Our meetings lare sober, yet not grave; enjoyable, but not boisterous. No nightmares throttle our repose and no “morning after” checkmates our toil. After ‘the campaign is over, when the “tu- mult and the shouting cease,” we meet here and talk it over. And yet, if I must tell the whole truth (after the’ usual custom of lawyers) we sometimes exchange compliments that are out of season, But all profanity is confined to election nights and even {then expressed in tones inaudible. | Tonight the politician is abroad Here at the nation’s capital you are | avy welcome, As no man has ever been wise enough to distinguish between the people of Washington [asi the politicians of Washington, fin this city you must inevitably meet your kind, So in this parliament of congenial spirits, forget the jibes and icc the slings and affows, the as- ipersions of malcontents and the dis- gruntlements of defeat, all incidental to your labors of loye in the public service.

Inherent- ly great, it is great also in the eyes of the people. It is entitled to and should receive the respect and con- sideration of all the people, whatever their attitude toward its occupants, present, past, or to come, may be. Earnestly do we pray that our new Chieftain brings to hig exalted station a clear head and honest heart. In practical achievement, may he surpass all that have gone before,’ From the hut of the backwoodsman, where the simple life is led and simpler virtues abound, to the stately capitol, where justice is decreed and laws are made; from the lofty pines of the ‘Fishery State” to the glittering sands of the Golden Gate, may this man embody, typify, reflect and incagnate the loft- iest ideals of American fairness and American manhood. is Finally, in behalf of our country itself, of which, as citizens we’ are bone of the bone and flesh of the flesh, in whose expansion we develop and under whose great aegis we seek protection, we welcome you at its seat of government. Though our in- stitutions are still on trial, there is no room for doubt or pessimism in out economy. Mindful always of the gardinal virtues, our course is steadi. ly toward the sun-lit heights and in our minds’ eye we see vistas of fu: ture glory, Evolution and revolution make more certain these ample foun. dations of liberty.

Walker, a practic- ing physician, The petition alleges that she and the defendant were mar- ried in this city, August 27, 1890, By Rev. W, Scott, She avers that after their marriage she worked hard and constantly and helped the respondent to accumulate property, both real and personal, and greatly aided him while studying medicine at Howard Uni- versity. © . Among other things the complain- and avers and charges that for nearly three years the respondent has seldom spoken to her, and when he has spok- en, he did so in a rude, harsh manner; that for the same period he has not furnished her any clothing. or other- wise provided for her, according to his station in life; she has been forced to work out in service; that on many occasion the respondent has purposely snubbed and ignored her, and made no attempts to conceal his contempt for the complainant, and his studied efforts to humiliate and torture her in the presence of her friends, and the woman or women in, whose company he would be; that he forbade her the ‘use of the telephorie in their home; has assaulted her on account of the adopted girl, 17 years of age, and not related to either her or defendant; and that at the bottom of all the abuse torture, ill-treatment, humiliation and other acts and things comlained of, is the defendant's avowed purpose, his wilful, inconscionable determination to, force and drive complainant from. their home so that he can charge her with having deserted him, She fur- ther charges that the defendant in no way recognizes or treats her as his wife ,and that although she has a room in the home, to all intents and purposes he has deserted and aban- doned her for more than two years past.

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd of African elephants—all tuskers! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks; they have miserable little grubbers projecting two or three inches from the upper jaw and inelining downward. Nothing produces either ivory or horn in fine specimens throughout Ceylon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they will not bear a comparison with those of other countries. The horns of the native cattle are not above four inches in length. The elk and the spotted deers antlers are small compared with deer of their size in India. This is more singular, as it is evident from the geological formation that at some remote period Ceylon was not an island, but formed a portion of the main land. It is thought there must be elements wanting in the Ceylon pasturage for the formation of ivory.—Ceylon Manual. Smokeless Coal. A London inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after distillation, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Electrocuting Animals The slaughter of animals for food by electrocution is being experimented by Dr. Leduc, a French scientist, who has been conducting his investigations in the French abbattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is painless, the central functions of perception being first destroyed and then those of circulation and respiration, so that there is neither suffering nor reaction in the animals thus killed. The doctor is endeavoring to devise some piece of apparatus by which the killing of cattle may be accomplished by electricity with economy and cateary. The Shy Man. Women show no mercy to the shy man, for he stands outside of the compass of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently on fire. But he cannot. He has been brought up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of diffid-ness holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quaking, a prey to introspective storm—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant smile o his hip.—London Observer. Hanging Pictures Dangerom. "Railroad casualties receive such wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common belief on the part of the public that one is more liable to accidents while traveling than when living the simple life in the confines of his home. "As a matter of cold fact, statistics show that accident insurance companies pay more money to people who get hurt hanging pictures or taking stoves apart than they do to the victims of head-on collisions. It sounds strange, but it's the truth." —Kansas City Journal. Three Men to Move Book. There lies in the British Museum the largest book yet printed, a colossal atlas of engraved ancient Dutch maps. It takes three men to move it from the giant book case in which it is stored in the library of the museum. It is bound in leather, magnificently decorated, and is fastened with clasps of solid silver, richly gilt. It is nearly seven feet high and weighs 800 pounds and was presented to King Charles II. before he left Holland in the year 1660. Valuable East African Forest. The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 287 miles long by eight miles broad, and comprises 1,000,000 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 2 1/4 d. per cubic foot, this works out to £23 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £23,000,000—London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historiana. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine cases out of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an older writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman. A man's idea of being stylishly dressed is to wear something in which he looks atrociously bad; a woman to wear something no other woman can duplicate. A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. THE BOWERY MISSION At this Place and at Fleischmann's May Be Found the Men in Actual Need—It is the Alm of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery as I approached them looked me over when they saw I was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the coat I had borrowed for the event I was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were not waterproof. If my object poverty was assumed, I felt a semblance of the real thing, for I was cold and tired after tramping up and down two muddy streets for an hour. "Where kin a feller git a cup o' coffee 'r a handout?" I asked. One of the officers smiled affably. "Two doors up," he said, indicating one of the numerous five and ten-cent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in this neighborhood. "I didn't mean that kind," I replied "I've got to find a place where there isn't a price on the 'grub.'" "I guess the bread line at Fleischmann's or the Bowery Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said the officer as he turned his back on me. So I slouched along to 55 Bowery, where a sign in the window, reading, 'Bowery Mission—Services Every Evening,' indicated that I had found the right place. I locked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was dimly lighted, and on the platform at the far end, a man was moving some chairs around. "Nothin' doin' yet, bo," said a rough-looking fellow. "They don't give ye no grub until 1 o'clock." This was disheartening, or would have been, had I really needed the food, for it was only a little after eleven. "I'm goin' up ter the bakery," the tramp continued. "Ye gift your at 12 sharp up there." S we ambled up the Bowery to Eighth street, and from there to Tenth street and Fourth avenue. Already the waiting line extended from the rear door of the bakery around the corner to the entrance of Grace church. I dropped into the procession which in a few moments reached up Broadway to Twelfth street. I had been in the line but a short time when a clock nearby sounded for midnight. The line began to move along and the waiting men on either side of me cheered up a bit. There was very little conversation, however. Now and then some of them muttered curses, and once when a sightseeing automobile stopped at the corner the curses became quite audible. After the line of waiting men—over 600 in number, as I ascertained—had had their bread and coffee, most of them dispersed, though a few "repeated" in order to get a second helping. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowery Mission—sometimes more. It is the aim at both this place and at Fleischmann's to send no one away hungry, but just now the demand is much in excess of that usual at this time of year. One sees at these two places the men who are in actual need of food and drink. The street beggars are in nine cases out of ten unworthy of notice. But the man or woman who doubts the distress—the real need of food among the unemployed—should spend a couple of hours at the two places I have described, and he or she will be convinced that there is no lack of opportunity for the offices of the Good Samaritan, and no excessive crowding in the ranks of helpers of unfortunate humanity. Bronze Statue of Schiller. The bronze statue of Schiller by Hermann Matzen, which is to be erected in Cleveland by German citizens, has been completed in Berlin. The poet is seated in an arm chair. A Berlin paper is quoted as remarking apropos that "the German who goes to America becomes an American in all that the word implies, but even unto the third generation he is loyal to German poetry and German song." Good Roads. Out of the 900 towns in the State of New York, 600 have voted to have their roads built under the Fuller-Plank Act, or, as it is generally called, the money system. The matter is now optional with the towns, but in the opinion of persons who have given the matter considerable attention the idea of making it compulsory is favored.—Good Roads Magazine. The Erzberg, Austria's iron mountain, will furnish ore for 1,000 more years. 100 LYNCHINGS IN 1908. What the American Negro Suffers and Yet Continues a Good Citizen— All Victims Negroes Except Seven —Record by States. The Chicago Tribune which keeps a reliable record on affairs in this country, gives out the following on the number of victims who met death at the hands of mob and lynch law; it is a detailed report of the work of Judge Lynch, and shows that he executed 100 victims in 1908, as against 63 in 1907, showing that his stock is still moving upward and that at all times he is ready for business. Ninety-three of his victims were Afro-Americans, and 7 were composed of white men. The following makes interesting reading and shows that the South is still the hotbed of mob and lynch law, and that only a very small per cent of thetaromftaofwya small per cent of the colored men who are put to death by Judge Lynch are quilty of criminally assaulting white women. The number of lynchings in 1907 was the smallest in 20 years, being but 63. It is not encouraging that the number in 1908 was 100, the largest number since 1903. As the lynching evil is a problem of national interest, the following is appended, showing the annual number for the last 24 years: The number of lynchings in the vavious states and territories was as follows: Alabama, 4; Arkansas, 1; California, 1; Florida, 4; Georgia, 16; Illinois. 2; Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 1; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 8; Texas, 21; Virginia, 1; or South, 97; North, 3. Of the total number 93 were Negroes, and 7 whites. The crimes alleged were as follows: Murders, 34; criminal assault, 12; arson, 5; murderous assault, 6; making threats, 4; expressing sympathy with murder, 4; a colored entertainment, 1; mistaken identity, 1; conspiracy to do violence, 2; race rioting, 2; disappointment at Complicity in murder, 3; suspicions of arson, 3; by night riders, 2; robbery, 1; offensive language, 1; highayman, 1; unknown, 1; insulting white woman, 1; MORE RACE HATRED Omaha's race riot discloses to the country at large a hitherto unsuspected source o trouble in the states. In the South the black people are perennially the objects of attack as events bring them into the unfavorable attention of the mob, Out on the coast the racial animosities center on the Japanese and the Chinese. Down in New Orleans on one occasion, now historic, Italians were hunted down like rats by a posse of people, maddened by the murder of a police official. There have been anti-Polish rows here and there and various other nationalities have come in for such unpleasant attentions. Now it is the Greeks who suffer. Considering the cosmopolitan character of our population, the possibilities of race-line cleaveage become seriously extended with each such manifestation of passion. One of the most sinister features of this Omaha affair is the fact that the riots immediately followed a mass meeting, in the course of which the murder of a policeman by a Greek prisoner was denounced by two of the state legislators and an appeal was made to the race prejudices of the mob. These men, representatives of the community in the law-making body, addressed themselves to the worst passions of their hearers. They are guilty of the most despicable crime in the calendar, that of inciting others to bloodshed and arson. Will Nebraska tolerate such a performance? The Greeks of South Omaha, according to the dispatches, have been prosperous. They have built up business establishments and have maintained themselves generally in a quiet manner. The news reports mention the employees of the packing houses as being conspicuous in the ranks of the rioters. This suggests that there are labor jealousies behind the race prejudice.—The Washington Daily ```markdown ``` PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO. FIFTH I and G Streets N. W.

APPREHENSIONS OF THE BAPTISTS 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 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. In 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 or Washington it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs. The Baptists seem to show some fears concerning the permanence of their denominational integrity. It is noted in The Baptist Commonwealth (Philadelphia) that the pastor of the Lincoln Park Baptist Church, West Newton, Massachusetts, has recently resigned to become a pastor of a Congregational church, and the matter is looked upon as "not a mere incident." Last October this pastor, the Rev. Edwin F. Snell, in delivering his address as the retiring moderator of the North Baptist Association, "advocated doing away with baptism by immersion as a prerequisite to membership in Baptist churches." Mr. Snell, it is said, had already adopted the plan with his own church. But his resignation is looked upon as giving up the issue for which he stood. The Baptist journal thinks "the issue ought to be squarely faced" by the church at large, "and some consensus of opinion or conviction secured." Shall we, or shall we not, it asks, admit to our membership those who have not been immersed upon a profession of faith? LIBERIA A FAILURE From the Cumberland Alleganian Early in the nineteenth century an association known as the American Colonization Society was organized in this country for the purpose of encouraging Negroes to return to Africa. The society was liberally supported by philanthropists the world over. It established a little Republic on the west coast of Africa, and named it Liberia. Many slaves in Maryland, Virginia and other southern states were manumitted on condition that they would emigrate to the little Negro republic that was to test the capability of the Negro for self-government. So long as the society furnished the means, and the government of the United States exercised something like guardianship over it the experiment promised to succeed. But after going it alone and unassisted for nearly thirty years the Republic of Liberia is going to pieces, and the United States has been called upon to interpose to the end that it may be saved from complete disintegration. For many years the colony has been going backward, and the people have nearly lapsed into the surrounding barbarism it was designto overcome.

Journal We have nothing but words of condemnation and blame for the lawless white miscreant who mistreats, abuses and destroys the property of innocent, well-behaved Negroes. The wholesale destruction of their churches and school houses, the burning of the dwellings and barns of industrious, well-to-do Negroes, should not only be condemned and decried, but the perpetrators of these outrages should be hunted down and punished. There is a criminal class of Negroes for whom we have very little sympathy, but punishment, for crime should not be left to the reckless rage of an equally criminal and irresponsible crowd of white lynchers or night riders. The law is for all, white and black, to punish and to protect. Otherwise, what is the law worth? What becomes of our civilization? Upon what can we depend for the safety of life, liberty and property? Mob violence, lynch law, all disregard for the law, must be put down or we will drift into red-handed anarchy, and be at the mercy of the ignorant and criminal mob. Mme.

STRATEGICAL USES OF TAILS. The Clever Little Weasel and His Means of Defense. Take another of our animals, a fierce little weasel, blad in summer in a coat of brown, in winter turning white, but always with a jet black tip to the tail. The ermine, as it is incorrectly called in its winter coat, has an easy time of it, sneaking upon the mice and birds upon which it preys, but when a hawk takes after it in an open field in the sunlight or an owl in the moonlight, it would have but short shrift with all its sinuous leaping, were it not that the black tall tip is so conspicuous that it constantly attracts the eye and allows the pure white of the body to be confused with the snow. Even when we place a dead weasel on the snow and look at it from a distance, we realize how true this is, and how valuable must be the pencil tufts of black hairs to this little vermin who spends his life in hunting or being hunted.—The Outing Magazine. Everyone of Them a Bird. A current newspaper item is as follows: "The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are row two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swan, and another was a Jay; but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. "They live on Hawk-ave., Eagleville, Canary Islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Life. Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession—Alaska. In winter, when the more than 60,000 square miles of territory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are almost the sole means of getting from place to place—in fact, they seem necessary to life itself. The aristocrats of Arctic dog life are the mail teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mail service.—St. Nicholas. Nanies that Don't Nana. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic acid is not an acid but an alcohol. Cobalt contains none of that metal but arsenic. Soda water has no trace of soda, and sugar of lead has no sugar; cream of tartar has nothing of cream, nor milk of lime any milk. German silver has no silver and blacklead no lead. Dogs Around Blacksmith Shops Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loading about every blacksmith shop. This fact is so well recognized that detectives when sent out after valuable dogs that have been lost invariably visit first all the blacksmith shops in the neighborhood. The reason why dogs visit the blacksmith shops is that they love inordinately the odor and the taste of burning hoats. They self the odor as a woman smiles a rose, and they eat the hoof parings as a gourmet eats truffles.—Mincepelle's Journal. Supply of Gold. It is malay from Africa, America and Australia that the world draws its supply of gold, some $400,000,000 worth won regularly every year. Africa leads with about $150,000,000; next comes the United States with about $95,000,000; Australia ranks third with some $85,000,000, while Russia, both in Europe and Asia, Mexico, Canada and several other countries, make up the remainder. A Long Sleep. An astonishing trance case has come to light in Berlin. A clerk, aged 46—a healthy normal man—suddenly fell asleep in June 1904. All efforts to awaken him were unsuccessful and the sleeper since then has never opened his eyes. He breathes regularly and swallows his food mechanically, but is insensible to the severest attempts to arouse him. Lace Curtains. Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added, before being put into warm suds. This gets out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have have been used in a city. Life in Germany. Every one who has travelled in Germany is familiar with the word "verboten"—forbidden. He finds it is verboten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States.

Lewisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is sald, a crime of mob vio- | lence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Bouthern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by & mob, that has not been should- ered on the Night Riders. - The Night Riders were an organ- feed body back In 1900, when the Btate Legislature passed a Jaw do- fag away with private ownership of Mate roads. For months the turn- pike corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get & stay, which made {t possible for them to continue running their toll “gates and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed ever their property. “Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became !m- peasible, The owners of the turn- pikes would mot expend ene cent for improvements as long as there was question of thelr losing their. property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct trav- ellers, All this whfle they refused to accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organized. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from thelr hoines and began burning toll gates. ‘There is no record ef a toll gate keeper betng Injured unless he ghow- @4 resistance. Then be was taken from the house, and !f he continued te be defiant he was flogged. In ninety-nine cares eut of x hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up his job and let the gate burs. Night Ridera undoubtedly brought the turnp!xe corporations to terme. There was not a toll gate left stand: tug In the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpsy- ers and farmers been contented te allow the law to take its never end: ing course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up tra- vellera on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have beer worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now an among the best in the United States ‘There are not milHons of dollars o! watered stock on which to pay int erest, and the State tax has improv ed them and even made it possidit for almost all of them to be sprin kled with oll during the summe: geason, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Rider in the war against toll gates led t an organization of a similar char acter when the fight. was wase against the American Tobacco Com pany. But out of this last organiza tion there grew a body of violen' men, who live on excitement ant thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men ft many of the Southern and Middl Western States, who chose to cal themselves Night Riders, though thi probabilities are that 99 per cent. o the men didn’t own so much as | horse to ride.

To-day I ate some green brush, but I can’t go any more. JT yonder how long ft will take to dia These ented in the notebook of B. T.

He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would’ find food of a sort and water ia abundance, but within alght of his tefuge he gave out and could go mv further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dy- ing.. “Food gave out to-day; guess J can make Argus,” was the entry for August 3, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. “Water gone,” told the story of the follow fig day. \ ee For one whole day he went with- out water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for Augut 6: “Bigns of water about half mile Ahead. There will be green stuf there too. Will reach It early ta the morning.” But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as & so often does by means of a mir age. Two days later came the twe entries quoted first. The Jast entry reads:— 2 “I left Grapeville, Inyo county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I wouM perish.

He Differs from the Followers of Mrs. Eddy In that He Does Not Scorn the Aid of a Regular Physician In Fact Insists Upon a Doctor's Diagnosis. Staid orthodox circles in the United States were not a little astounded by the announcement that Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal Church had become a rival of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, and set himself up as a "mental healer" of diseases. Bishop Fallows, however, differs from all other advocates of "mental healing." "faith cures" and the like. He does not scorn the aid of the regular physician. In fact, he insists that all his patients bring a physician's diagnosis with them, and in all his "treatments" he proposes to have a physician of the recognized school present. Neither does he call his new cult Christian Science. He designates it ab "Christian psychology." He does claim, however, that "Christian psychology" will cure anything that is curable by Christian Science methods, which are, he believes, simply cures by faith on the part of the patient that they will be healed. He declares that this faith cure is practiced by all physicians, and he believes it should be practiced in its highest form by all earnest Christians. "This is not a new or a sudden fancy of mine," said the Bishop with a whimsical mille. "For twelve years I have been lecturing on physiological psychology at the Bennet Epileptic College. For the last three years I have been making a special study of the relations between mentality and disease. "I have arrived at the conclusion that mentality when based upon a trust in religion, is a powerful aid toward the cure of all functional nervous disorders. "I do not go so far as to say that all diseases may be cured by mental suggestion. Organic diseases like cancer and typhoid fever demand the services of a skilled physician. But in every disease the mental attitude of the patient has much to do with his condition, and in all those affections of the mind which might be classified as functional nervous disorders the mental attitude of the patient is the greatest single influence." The bishop then outlined a few of the diseases which he believed he could cure by Christian Psychology. He included in his list the following. Hyphochrondria. Want of self-confidence, irritability, worry, anger, fear, and weakness of will. "The cure of the grip, I believe," said the Bishop, "can be allied greatly, and perhaps entirely effected by the direct influence of what I may call strengthened mentality. One of the chief factors in the potency of grip is the mental depression into which it forces its victims. It was last Sunday evening that Bishop Fallows in his sermon announced his purpose to put his belief into practice. But so great was the confidence of the Bishop that the sick and suffering did not wait for the first Thursday's meeting to receive treatment. On Tuesday afternoon the Bishop treated, his first patient. A janitor named C. P. J. Esnorff could not wait until Thursday afternoon and sought the Bishop in the vestry rooms of the church. He was suffering from a disease of the eye and was anxious for relief. He told the Bishop that medicine had failed to afford him any help. Esnorff sat down and listened while the Bishop told him that he had two minds—the consciosus and the sub-conscious—and how they contained the force that was to drive the stiffness out of his eyes. He then instructed Esnorff and let him go. The patient went away declaring he felt 100 per cent petter—that the Bishop's talk had effected a wonderful improvement. The Bishop hopes to enlist all the churches in the country in this movement. He explained this purpose in the sermon in which he first made his announcement. He said: Christian psychology uses every curative agency in the world of nature as an aid to the powerful influences of suggestion and auto-suggestion for mental and physical health. It unites the physician with the ciergyman in the great work of healing. It aims to give the physician trained men and women to ahsst him in his ministry to the sick and suffering. "It is along these lines that the Boston Emmanuel Church movement has been carried on for more than a year by the Rev. Dr. Worcester and the Rev. Dr. McComb. The ablest neurologists of Boston and New England are heartily cooperating with them. The results have been most encouraging."
