Pelham Wins His Case Against Bumptious Policeman A Victory For The Race The sessions of the Police Trial Board in the case of Robert A. Pelham, against Officer "Jack" Watts, attracted large audiences to the police court at each of the three hearings. In the throng were men of the greatest prominence in legal, medical, journalistic and business circles in Washington, and the proceedings were watched with the deepest interest. After a hard-fought battle between Lawyer W. H. H. H. Hart, chief counsel for Mr. Pelham, and Lawyer Cusack, who made a feeble attempt to ustify the actions of his client. The Board found Watts guilty of "conduct unbecoming an officer and prejudicial to the good name of the Metropolitan Police Force of the District of Columbia," and assessed a fine of $20 against him. Watts was severely reprimanded for his ignorance and brutality in connection with the matters involved in the case, and has been assigned to an outlying district where he will not be liable to arrest orderly and respectable colored men for the purpose of humiliating them before the public. The inside history of the case is familiar to the country. It will be remembered that on the evening of April 17, Mr. Pelham was one of a crowd which witnessed the cowardly assault made by Officer Watts upon a colored woman whom he was endeavoring to place under arrest. As an act of humanity, he interested himself sufficiently to take the names of a few of the bystanders who had also witnessed the incident. While complying with the officer's request to "move on," Mr. Pelham's activity was noticed by the offending policeman, and he, without the color of justification, insisted upon taking Mr. Pelham to the 8th precinct station. The later went without any show of resistance, preferring to carry his protest to a higher and more intelligent tribunal. At the station, in the presence of a score or more of personal friends who had come on to render .any assistance that might be needed, a charge of "disorderly assemblage" was entered against Mr. Pelham's name and he was released upon depositing $5.00 collateral. Had Mr. Pelham needed $200, the amount would have been immediately forthcoming, for before the sum was fixed, greenbacks were flourished from every pocket in the indignant group. In the police court, Mr. Pelham scored a clean-cut victory. Not only was he triumphantly acquitted of the officer's charge, but he surprised Judge Kimball and all the persons present by bringing forward as his counsel, no less distinguished an individual than United States Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, who handled Watts without gloves, and testified in the strongest language to the high character, veracity and law-abiding disposition of Mr. Pelham. The latter then preferred charges against the officer before the police trial board, with the result above noted. Mr. Pelham was sustained at every point, and he is being warmly praised from one end of the country to the other for his manly stand, not only for his own rights as a citizen, but in behalf of the race as a whole. The capital police have been treated to a much needed object lesson, and they will now be extremely careful how they handle colored people, be they of high or low degree. It will be remembered 'also that Watts is the same bumptious policeman who arrested Former Register Judson W. Lyons, and Receiver of Public Moneys H. V. Cashin, some months ago, but was "let off" by Mr. Lyons because the officer pleaded that his family would suffer if the case should be pressed against him in such a way that he might be dismissed from the force. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., S.A. EUGENE MANAGER TH MESSRS. VERNON AND HOUSTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MAY 22, 1909 Washington, D. C., May 17, 1909—On Thursday afternoon, March 13, the Honorable W. T. Vernon, and Mr. W. L. Houston, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, visited the Capitol on business. While there they entered the dining room of the House Office Building, which is opened to the general public and took luncheon. On the followin- day an Associated Press dispatch appeared in the daily papers throughout the country to the effect that five Southern Congressmen seated at a neighboring table in the dining room, became so incensed at the appearance of Messrs. Vernon and Houston, that they at once cancelled their order and informed the proprietor of the dining room, that he would either have to exclude colored men from the place or they would organize a boycott of Southern Congressmen against his establishment. The dispatch further stated that these gentlemen appealed to Speaker Cannon, laid the matter before him, and insisted that he take the necessary steps to exclude colored men from future entertainment in the place. A later notice appeared in the Washington Times of Saturday, March 15th., which asserted that these gentlemen were informed by Speaker Cannon's secretary that the dining room in question was not reserved exclusively for members of Congress and their friends. It now appears that these irate Southerners realize that they simply created a tempest in a tea pot, and that their colorophobia led them into making themselves ridiculous. Mr. Vernon had been time and again in the same cafe, as have other colored men, and as citizens they have a perfect right there. One Southern Congressman whose name was mentioned as being among the number involved in the incident, denied in the public prints that he was present, all of which shows that he did not care to be mixed up in such silly business. Strange to relate, neither Messrs. Vernon nor Houston knew anything about the commotion their presence created until the story appeared in the newspapers of Washington. COMMENCEMENT TIDE Howard University has just experienced the most prosperous and successful year in its history. Over twelve hundred students have been in attendance, and there has been a quickened interest in all the departments of University activities. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given a Library Building costing fifty-five thousand dollars, which will accommodate the fifty thousand books and pamphlets already on hand, and also make room for future growth and expansion. Congress has been most liberal in its provisions for the institution. The total appropriation for the year will amount to one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. This includes ninety-thousand dollars for a new Science Hall, with laboratory accommodations for the departments of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The Alumni Association has agreed to raise funds for a much needed SATURDAY MAY 22, 1909 E KERNAN THE NEW LYCEUM gymnasium during the coming year. The Commencement takes place on the 26th of May, and promises to be an extraordinary occasion. At this time the cornerstone of the new library will be laid. President Taft will deliver the Commencement Address to one hundred young men who will take their degrees in Arts and Sciences, Theology, Medicine, Law and Pedagogy. Besides these there will be about sixty graduates in the several branches without a degree. During the next school year President Thirkield expects to have completed the New Library, the Science Hall, and the Gymnasium, adding over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the permanent plant and equipment of the institution. "AT THE GATE" With apologies to Mr. T. Shirley Nelson, A. B. Far be it from me to set myself up as a literary critic, but I like not the idea that when we black folk are done toiling and suffering here, that we shall be met at the entrance to the golden city by the keeper of the gate with the somewhat doubtful welcome, "You are a Negro, but I'll let you in." There came to the gate of the City where God and His angels dwell A soul let loose from earth's burden, a soul with a story to tell; Quoth he as he gazed at the Keeper, are you collecting the fares? I hope that I have the right ticket, I hope that I have the right ticket, I am weary of earth and its cares. His bearing indeed was pathetic, he looked so downcast and sad, His garments were threadbare and ragged., but they were the best that he had; St. Peter came close to the Pilgrim, and looking with sorrowing eyes Said, friend can you give me your Hath thou a right to admittance, if so wilt thou kindly state Or else present thy credentials, before thou canst enter the gate; Hath thou been true to thy brethren, The laws of thy land, hath thou kept them, as best as thou could from thy birth? Credentials! I have sorrowed, I have suffered down below I have borne the white man's burden, I have felt his cruel blow; I have helped to fight his battles, kept his loved ones safe from harm In those days my humble presence did not cause the least alarm. For the country where I came from, if was called the "white man's land." And he rules his darker brethren with a cruel relentless hand; For long hours I have to tell on For long hours I've had to toil on, sometimes night as well as day, Tho' I've had some peace and pleas- I have had so many hardships, tossed and driven to and fro That at times I almost gave up, hardly knew which way to go; Through it all I have been patient, for I trusted in a God Who will see that all get justice, tho' they sleep beneath the sod. Enter in. O worthy brother! good St. Enter in, O worthy brother! good St Peter then replied Just cast off thy ragged garments, for thy robe is just inside; Every soul's alike in Heaven, who hath let their light so shine For beyond these pearly portals, there can be no line line. —James Conway Jackson. From the first I have been the butt of malicious and libellous stories from the tongue of one who in his eagerness to gain the colored man's favor, likewise his money, has left all scruples behind. He has even gone so far as to say that the steamer River Queen has been made at different times, a cock pit, and a prize ring. That is a lie out of the whole cloth. Since I have had her nothing of the sort has ever taken place on board of her, or at Washington Park. The man who will sink to maliciousness and lying persecution in order to down his business-competitor, is no man at all. In all my experience I have never deceived my friends, by attacking them behind their backs, then grasp them cordially by the hand when I meet them, nor have I ever been unreasonable in any way with various parties who have from time to time chartered my boats. Can you picture me with a gun in one hand and blackjack in the other calling upon the Captain of my vessel to help quell an-affray? Or knocking down a woman and dragging her about the deck, or asking the local police for their aid? I have never written to the local and Maryland authorities telling them that the river resorts were being used as a dumping ground for the roughs and riff-raff of Washington, yet those things have been done, and that, by one who calls himself your friends. (To be concluded next week.) Much interest has been manifested in the case of Attorney P. W. Frisby that was tried in Criminal Court No. 1, last week. The case was hotly contested by both the government and the defense. Messrs. Turner and Atkins represented the government, and Mr. Harry Davis the defense. The defense will appeal. The conviction was a great disappointment to the friends of Mr. Frisby.

FELL FROM A WINDOW On Saturday morning, May 15, John Edward Colbert, departed this life at his residence, 1724 Vermont avenue, after a brief illness, caused by an accident for which he was wholly irresponsible... Shortly after reaching his place of employment at the George Washington Law School, he was seized with a severe nervous attack, and on go- ing to the window to inhale the fresh air, he lost his balance and fell to the concrete pavement below. The deceased was buried from the Plymouth Congregational Church, Rev. Garner officiating. RETURN FLAGS Cincinnati, O., May 11—Nine veterans of the civil war, two of them official representatives of the state of Ohio, left last Monday night for Selma, Alabama, to return, with proper ceremony, the Confederate flags captured by the 4th Ohio Cavalry on the battlefield near that town. Those in the party were Chairman John A. Pitts of this city, and Major W. W. Shoemaker, of Dayton, Ohio, appointed by the last legislature to arrange for the return of the colors, and the following volunteer commissioners: Captain Thomas H. Osborn, M. H. Richardson, W. H. Hendy, James I. Quinton and L. C. Brankamp, of this city, Joseph A. Goddard of Muncie, Indiana, and T. C. Lindsay, of Dayton, Ohio. The flags belonged to the Rifle Scouts, which was a part of General Forrest's command. MANAGER KERNAN Mr. Eugene Kernan, manager of the New Lyceum, is determined to make his house agreeable to those attending the performances, and there is no manager more willing to please the public than he. GOOD WORK Mr. Miles C. Maxfield, one of the most prominent musicians in the city, is doing good work among all classes in the city. His work is very effective. He spoke last Sabbath at Ebenezer. DR. SHEPARD From the Durham Reformer Dr. Shepard has a national reputation as an orator and fluent speaker. He is popular, very useful and his services ever in demand. The Raleigh Evening Times speaks thus complimented before the literary society. "The address before the literary societies of Shaw University will be delivered tonight by Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham. Dr. Shepard is regarded as one of the ablest orators of his race. A man of wide experience and varied ability. He has traveled extensively in the old world and was the only colored speaker on the program of the World's Sunday School Convention, held in Rome, Italy, in 1907. "Dr. Shepard enjoys the confidence and respect of the white people of the south to a remark- The Metropolitan Baptist Church on R street, northwest, closed a two-week double anniversary celebration with a tally and collection which amounted to $1,200. It was the forty-fifth anniversary of the church and the fourth of the pastor, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D. D., LL. D. May 10 the pastor held a reception in the main auditorium of the church, after which the church gave a banquet in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Norman. More than 500 persons met around the tables. The reports show that the pastor's four year service has been marked by continuous and unusual success. The church has collected $27,500, the Sunday school more than $6,000 and over 800 members have been added to the church. Among the pastors of the city churches who attended and took part in the exercises were Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. J. T. Clark, Rev. S. G. Lamkins, Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Rev.J. I. Loving and Rev. G. W.

Three lions were killed near Pietersburg, Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Beer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kaffr boy 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 Volkestem correspondent whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom,' I had my little Kaffr boy, with me.'—The skins were sold in Pietersburg.—Pretoria Volkestem. Petronous Brazilian Vipers. Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know snakes," 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 losses on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but soldom to injure travellers. The fiercest of the lance-headed vipers is the Jarareca, 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 coifure. When young these women call their treasures 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 deed or dying plant. Bridal Chorus. 2 pp—2d p. Brides Older Than Bridegroomes. The vital statistics prepared by City Clerk Entwisle of Salem shows that during 1907 there were 479 marriage licenses issued and 306 solemnized in the city, which is 18 fewer than the previous year. The oldest bridegroom was 68 and the oldest bride 50, while the youngest bridegroom was 16 and the youngest bride 15. Seventy-one brides were older than the bridegrooms.—Boston Transcript. 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. Valuable Relics. At an auction sale at Christie's in London of the late Marchioness of Conyngham's art collection a silver ewer and dish, weighing together 90 ounces, a gift of George IV to an ancestor of the Marchioness, sold for $21,000. A Venerable Turtle. A Massachusetts boy, Nathan Sampson, has found a venerable turtle which bears markings made by his grandfather, now 81 years old, which were put on in 1840, and by his great-grandfather, who marked the same turtle in 1816. Slightly M.xed. The story is now going the rounds of the country papers about a man who visited the paying-teller's window in a bank and asked for one of the new coins with "God Bless Our Home" left off.

"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 also bills, imitative of Government currency," said Capt. S. F. Rhodes, 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 hears 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 best 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 on 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.—M. Y. World. Odd South American Animals Many curious animals mount the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frog big and ferocious, given to making violent springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copu rat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along 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. -Scottsman. The Gingko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maidenhair, 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 Oolite series, at Brom, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the calls reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Preasing Plaiten Ekirts. 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 so. Dolen 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 prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the sexton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yleld a strange grist of forgotten or discarded articles."

A noted ethnologist observed in Vienna a bear deliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his cage 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 to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Tcothpicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,000,000 quilts. The factory was started to make quill pens, but when these went out of general use it was converted into a toothpick mill. KINK A Beautiful Hair Dressing and Tonic for the Hair! PROF.

THE STYLE OF MORE EXPENSIVE SHOES AND GOOD SOLID VALUE ARE FOUND IN OUR SCHOOLS ARE INTRODUCING FORESTRY Forestry is attracting wide attention among the schools of the United States. Not only have many colleges and universities introduced courses and even professional schools of forestry, but elementary phases of the subject have been introduced into hundreds of the graded and high schools, and teachers give enthusiastic reports of the success which is attending the new study. Public school teachers say that they have found in it a subject interesting to children, and one which furnishes much attractive, tangible material to work upon, developing the child's observation, and being at once acceptable to the young mind, and most practical. The public schools of Washington, District of Columbia, and of parts of Iowa are in the vanguard of this movement. Every graded school in Washington, and a large number of the rural schools of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, are now teaching the elements of forestry. In Iowa the subject is being taught as a commercial course in connection with home geography and agriculture, while in the Washington schools it is used in the nature study courses. The four upper grades of the Washington schools are studying the forest and this year all are following practically the same outline; next year this outline will be confined to the fifth grade, while the other grades will follow an outline one step advance- ed, and so on until by the fourth year a four-year course will have been introduced. As a preparation for this work, forestry has been taught in the Normal School of the District of Columbia for several years past, and when the young student teachers take up the actual work of teaching they are already familiar with the details of elementary forest study. Prominent among the other normal schools of the country to take up work of this kind are those of Cleveland, Ohio, Rochester, New York; and Joliet, Illinois. There is a section in the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture which works in cooperation with the schools in teaching forestry and its related subjects. This cooperation is not limited to technical schools of forestry; it is equally open to primary and kindergarten grades; it is as willing to help teach tree study in a first year nature-study class as to assist in the establishment of a professional forest school. This section of education, as it is called is now working out model courses of study for graded and high schools, in cooperation with the public schools of Washington, District of Columbia, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The work in Philadelphia is being conducted by W. N. Clifford, head of the Commerce Department of the Southern High In Washington, the Section of Education is directing a similar work for graded schools in four of the public schools of that city. Besides special lessons in the class room, the pupils collect and mount specimens of leaves, twig, bark, and seeds, and, in connection with wook-working, wood specimens of different commercial trees are prepared and placed in cabinets. Opposite each wood section is placed the name of the wood, its qualities, and uses. Extensive field work is planned for the spring months, and the different classes will be brought out into the woods, there to study the trees at first hand. As these courses are built up and tested, they will be published from time to time for distribution among teachers, and it is expected that the practical line along which the courses are being evolved will win for them a wide application in other schools. Most of the schools now teaching forestry are using as text books several of the publications issued by the Forest Service, including Farmers' Bulletin 173, "A Primer of Forestry." The Service also issues many circulars dealing with local conditions, which teachers in the localities dealt with might find very useful. By writing to the Forest Service, Washington, District of Columbia, as many copies of these various publications as are needed for class room use, as well as other helpful material and information may be secured free of charge. ALLEY DENIZENS ALLEY DENIZENS The annual census, taken by the police, for Washington, has just been completed, and in it may be found one potent reason for the prevalence of crime and disease among the colored people. According to this census, the number of white people living in alleys is but 1,608 in the entire city of Washington, while the number of colored people living in the alleys reaches the stupendous figure of 13,410. In the case of the white dwellers in the alleys, they are either there from choice, or because, possibly, they are unable to pay street rents. In the case of the colored dwellers in the alleys, however, they are forced to dwell in filthy, disease-infected, crime-breeding alleys, just because their skin is dark. We hear much, in the white press, and from the business and professional white men in this community about criminal colored people and about their spreading the germs of the white plague, and yet if they would but investigate they would find that, if this be true, and we are not saying it is not, the white men of this city are to blame. These people, because of the refusal of white landlords to rent them decent dwellings, are forced back into the alleys, forced into houses that are so unsanitary that they are but hovels, and back in these alleys, the good and bad, the moral and the criminal element of the race, are forced to reside together; the moral mothers and fathers witnessing daily the corruption of their children by those old crime. It is an awful picture, this picture of the black dwellers in the germ-infested, crime-breeding alleys of the Capitol City of the Nation, the "city of magnificent distances," the city that should be the example in cleanliness and morality for other cities to follow. The selection of Dr. Tunnell, of Howard University, to succeed Mr. John F. Cook, as member of the Board of Education, is a wise one, and The Bee congratulates the new member, and bespeaks for him success. There are some who question the propriety of a member of the faculty of Howard University being chosen as a member of the Board of Education in charge of the Washington schools. This, however, is not a new precedent, though it may be for Washington, for there have been many instances where school board members have been taken from the faculty of some college. Let all assist Dr. Tunnell to make a splendid record, as a conscientious worker for the betterment of our schools. "THE SMART SET" The "Smart Set," which was at the New Lyceum last week, played to a packed house at all performances. This of itself is proof of the ability of the troupe. Every character in the comedy was great and good, and Dudley and his donkey can not be excelled. Mr. M. J. Joyce, the agent, was pleased with the reception given the troupe. Mr. Eugene Kernan, manager of the Lyceum, did everything in his power to accommodate the rush, and the people expressed general satisfaction. This week the Octoroon Burlesquers have been playing to a full house at every performance. SCHOOL NOTES Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, and Mr. William D. Hover, members of the Board of Education, were reappointed to succeed themselves. Mr. W. V. Tunnell, a professor of Howard University, was selected by the Supreme Court, District of Columbia, to succeed Mr. John T. Cook, whose term expires July 1. Mr. Tunnell was graduated from Howard University, class of 1885, and from the General Theological Seminary in New York, class of 1889. He was called to the pastorate of a Brooklyn church. In 1893 he was appointed Professor of Belle Lettres, at Howard University, where he had studied. He was a trustee of Howard, and was appointed Supervising Principal of the 13th division of our schools, which he gave up to return to the University in 1905 to take the chair of history. He is identified with everything pertaining to the betterment of the schools and education, and ranks deservedly high as an orator. The members of the Board of Education, under the leadership of Captain James F. Oyster, are working nobly in the shaping and uplifting of our educational system. In the course of a few years, after Congress shall have passed the bill to pension the teachers who have made the schools what they are, the schools of Washington will take their places in the foremost ranks of an ideal system. The many knotty problems which were piled as obstacles, montain high, in the path of this board, are being reduced to mere foot hills by their wisdom and scund judgment. It is regretted that Congress did not pass the bill this year, but it is hoped that it will be one of the first items placed on the cal- The Andamanese are particularly interesting to the anthropologist as they seem to furnish an example of a people of pure descent. Since the stone age they have remained secluded from the outer world, and to this isolation is due the uniformity they exhibit in their physical and mental characteristics. They belong to the Negrito race, and are small but remarkably well formed. A series of measurements made by General E. H. Man gives the average height of the men as 4 feet 10% inches, and of the women 4 feet 7% 1iches, while their average weight is 98% pounds and 93% pounds respectively. Neither sex wears anything that can be called clothing as we understonahtttaau-o for q3A.o SEvderstand the word—usually a girdle about the waist from which is suspended one or more leaves. They further adorn themselves with necklaces, armlets, and bands about the legs, made of bone, shell, and wood. The men often wear a bunch of pandanus leaves hanging down behind from the the girdle, which custom is supposed to have given rise to the story, commonly believed in olden times, that they had tails like horses. It was also said that their heads grew from below their shoulders. This belief probably arose from their custom of wearing the skulls of their ancestors suspended by a strap from their neck.—Charles W. Mead in the May Southern Workman. 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 hall, and immense stones battered and rattled against the vehicle. A brass band, rather demoralized by the storm, stuck bravely to its post and played. "Hall to the Chief"—with real hall!" 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.

Fine Old English Oak Burned. 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. HOTEL MACEO. When visiting New York City, stop at the Hotel Maceo, 213 West 53rd.

Odessa.—Peter Kavullitch, 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 blindfolded 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. Kavullitch 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 tled 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 COFFINS. Brooklyn.—Adolph Raad, who formerly lived at No. 110 Luquer 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 encreached 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. 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. 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. Coin Found in a Fish's 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 Abym. San Francisco, Cal.-Lazsoed at the brink of a steep precipice, A. L. Banks of Philadelphia owes his life to William Rogers of New York city. With Robert Shea of New York, and James Archer of London, Banks and Rogers were riding in the mountains, when Banks's horse slipped. To save himself Banks grasped a bush. Rogers swung his rope and caught Banks around the waist. The Week in Society On account of the ever increasing volume of business done by the board and McGuire Pharmacy, Dr. L.

Pinchback is e to be out aagin. Miss Goneva B. Maxfield, who has been dangerously ill at her home, is up and out again. 'She will spend several weeks in the country with her mother. Attorney T. S. Jones, who has been sick at his home, is out again. The many friends of Miss Rosa Thornton, of Pierce Place, will be pleased to learn that she is making an excellent recovery from a serious abdominal operation performed on Thursday, May 6th, at the Providence Hospital, 2nd and D. streets, southeast, by Dr. Charles I. West. The teachers of Washington are a studious, thrifty people. By economy many of them have bought their own homes, in which are all the aids to culture and refinement. There are few of their homes without well-selected libraries. Like all large cities, they have their reading circles, culture clubs, and many of them are pursuing courses in the languages. Professor J. T. Layton's Choral Society had a very successful recital on last Friday evening at the Lincoln Memorial Church. The American minister to Haiti, and Mrs. Furniss, who are now spending their vacation in America, were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Charles I. West; 924 M street, north west, last week. They arrived in Washington from Port au Prince, Haiti, Monday morning, and left town Friday afternoon for the minister's home, Indianapolis, Indiana. During their visit to Washington, they were the recipients of numerous attentions. Monday night Dr. and Mrs. West gave an impromptu progressive whist party in their honor. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Francis, Dr. and Mrs. Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. Dowling, Dr. and Mrs. Lofton, Mr. and Dr. Gray, Mrs. B. K. Bruge, Mrs. Holly, Mrs. Keelan, and Miss Perry. Tuesday Mrs. Curtis took Mrs. Furniss through the sanctums of the public buildings; Wednesday afternoon Dr. and Mrs. Francis gave them an automobile ride; at night they attended a circus party; Thursday afternoon the Matrons' Whist Club entertained Mrs. Furniss at the home of Mrs. Pickett; and the same night Mrs. Holly entertained at whist; the remaining hours were filled in receiving hosts of friends who called to pay their respects. Dr. Furniss gave a talk on Haiti to the Armstrong Manual Training School and also to the M Street High School. Mrs. Furniss made a host of friends during her short stay. by her charming personality: she is a brilliant conversationalist, speaking fluently English, French, German and Portuguese. She visited many of our public schools and on Wednesday gave a lesson in German to the pupils, of the Armstrong school. She is charmed with Washington society. On their way retiring to Haiti, they will again visit Washington for a few days. Minister Furniss' conduct of the affairs of his office has been so successful, particularly during the recent disturbances in Haiti, that he has received the highest commendation from the administration.

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 Akl 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 then 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 AGQ. 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 Weldkerchlihohle, at Santis, Switzerland. Dr. Eckehardt discovered this cave and later on Dr. Bachler 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. Peuck in the course of a visit 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. Peuck's calculation, was about 100,000 years ago. Robbed Ostriches. 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. NEW MEALAND'S WHITE ISLAND. Always Enveloped in Clouds of Steam—Its Strange Lakes. 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 egress 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 Antivarl, the port of its present capital. The works, 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. Nuta for Squirrels. 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. Peanuts in India. The cultivation of American peanuts which was introduced into the Kolhapur State some years ago 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 Billiards are dying out—in France, at least. According to statistics of taxes, while there were 94,123 billiard tables in France in 1892, in 1906 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 volteries. 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. 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 28,900 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 1,200,600,000 tons, of which no more than 20,000,000 tons have been touched. Mephants as Sandwich Men.

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 inclining 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 traces 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 celery. 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 erased. 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 diffused holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakix, a prey to introspective torment—who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mile of lips.—London Observer. Hanging Pictures Dangerous. "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 historians. 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 cut 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 like which he looks atrociously bad; a woman's to wear something no other woman can duplicate. A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. At this Place and at Fielschmann's May Be Found the Men in Actual Need—It is the Aim 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 'w was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the scent I had borrowed for the evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were wet 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 knl 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 tencent 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 ain'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 looked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was dml; 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 git your at 12 sharp up there." S we ambled up the Bowery to Elighth 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 muddle. 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 Fielschmann'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.

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.

PATIENT'S FATHER CLOSES DEAL Transfusion Operation is Made as Soon as the Bargain Between Buyer and Seller Was Struck—Man and Boy Eyed Each Other During Operation. New York City.—Human blood went at bargain-counter prices in Bellevue Hospital when for $10 a guest of Mills Hotel No. 3 sold fifteen ounces of his life fluid, thereby probably saving the life of John Dennison, 15 years old, a patient suffering from malignant growth on the right leg. There was nothing heroic about the manner in which the man sold his blood. It was purely a business proposition. The Mills Hotel man needed the ten-spot and felt he could spare the blood. The father of the patient, though poor, felt he could spare the $10 in view of his son's need for the fresh blood. Striking a bargain between buyer and seller was easy. Dennison's father went to Mills Hotel No. 3 and announced he was in the market for human blood. He explained that his son was in Bellevue Hospital and that the surgeons' were anxious to transfuse the blood of a healthy person into the body of the boy. "The doctors want a strong man who is healthy in every way," the father explained. A guest registered as Mark Owen, who refused to tell anything further about himself, stepped forward, and remarked he would like to know more about it. Big, broad-shouldered, with the glow of health in his cheeks, he looked as if he would pass the test of the physicians. "I guess you'll do," said Dennison. "How much blood do you want?" asked Owen. "Fifteen ounces." "How much do I get?" "Ten dollars." "I'm your man," and the bargain was struck. The rate was 66 2-3 cents an onuce. Up to Bellevue Hospital marched Dennison and Owen. The surgeons examined the man who was willing to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for $10, and told him he would do. The nature of the operation then was explained to him. He was told that the patient was suffering from what is known as sarcoma, a malignant growth. To save the boy's life it was necessary to take from his body about sixteen ounces of the impure blood and transfuse in the body about fifteen ounces of healthy fluid. "I don't want to be chloroformed during the operation," Owen said. "No anaesthetics will be given," replied one of the surgeons. "We'll deaden the pain by an injection of cocaine." "Go ahead," said Owen. "I'm ready." Dennison was placed on the operating table and Owen was laid on another table. Between the two was a narrow table upon which the boy and the man each placed an arm. The surgeons made an incision in the boy's upper arm and blood was permitted to flow from the upper part of the median vein, while the lower part was closed. In this way the boy was relieved of about sixteen ounces of his impure and unnourished blood. An incision then was made in the forearm of the man. The surgeons rapidly connected the lower ligament of the man's radial artery with the upper vein of the boy's arm, and the blood of the man began to pass into the body of the boy. Dennison and Owen watched each other coolly throughout the operation. Not a whimper came from the boy, not a groan from the man. When the operation was over the boy's temperature showed marked improvement. Owen was weak after the operation. He took a stimulant and then left the hospital, not forgetting, of course, to collect his $10 before leaving. BURGLARS' GAZETTE IN RUSSIA. "Trades Paper" Contains All the News of the "Craft."

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.

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. --- DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS. Lighthouses on the Maine Coast Attract and Kill Thousands. One of the keepers who came ashore from Boon Island recently tells the story of the strange death encountered by thousands of the migrating birds every spring. Flying along the coast at night they are instantly attracted by the powerful light from the watch tower as moths are drawn to a watch tree. Thousands of these birds in their passage north fly with full force against the thick glass of the brilliantly lighted lantern. Stunned to death they fall to the rocks below or scale away for a little distance and flutter helplessly into the water. The light of morning sometimes reveals the rocks covered with the little creatures whose journey to their summer homes has met this sudden and fatal termination. Hundreds of species are found among the unfortunate little tourists. Most of them are easily recognized as belonging to the various common classes of song birds. But very often large birds of beautiful plumage come to their final resting place in this manner upon the bleak rocks, of Boon Island. On one occasion several years ago the thick glass of the lantern was shivered to atoms by the impact of some strange bird of powerful bill.—York Transcript. Fires Started by Moths. Moths and flames are universally connected, yet few people suspect that danger could arise therefrom. The insects are of such trail structure that generally they get destroyed before it is possible for them to inflict injury, and it is hardly creditable that the wings would ignite and retain the flames long enough to enable the moth to fly to its surroundings. That, however, has occurred. The moth was a very large one and its wings must have been very dry, so that when it floundered through the flame it set fire to one wing and darted out to a curtain nearby which at once flared up. It is possible that many summer evening fires in the country could be attributed to a source of this kind. It is notorious that mysterious fires often arise at sunset in the hot months.—Strand Magazine. As History Might Be Taught. Another way of teaching history which the schools might adopt has apparently not appealed to them. A good newspaper, if the teacher knows how to interpret its daily record, may stimulate an interest in history itself. If the pupil can be taught the continuity and relation of events, an awakened interest in the daily happenings will arouse a desire to trace them back through preceding stages. It is the break in continuity between the past and the immediate present that deadens enthusiasm. By studying history backward from the immediate present this chasm would be bridged and the passion for tracing to cause stimulated.—Boston Transcript. --- here in Washington by the Negroes draw salaries aggregating millions of dollars are spent right among the hundreds of tradesmen adding for?

Massachusetts has a town of 600 inhabitants which receives $2,670 annually from a single hotel for license to sell liquor. This is believed to be the highest license fee paid in the United States. The fee is nearly double the amount paid in Boston and other large cities. The Fastidious Burglar Visitors at a Paris hotel were disagreeably surprised one morning to find that the boots they had left outside their doors had been stolen by a burglar. Only one pair was left, on which was a paper with the words: "Not good enough for me." Value of Three Grains. The Vienna Academy of Science has spent nearly $9,000 in working 10 tons of uranium ore for radium. The yield was three grains of pure radium, the largest amount ever secured at once, the value being $320,000. Cure for Sleeplessness. Sleeplessness is often caused by the head being exposed to the cold, while the rest of the body is warm. In nine cases out of ten if the head is covered with a silk handkerchief. It will induce sleep. The population of the world is now estimated to be about 1,502,000,000. Of this number 150,000,000 are black, 600,000,000 yellow and 755, 000,000 white. Mme.

Take another of our animals, a fierce little weasel, clad in summer in a coat of brown, in winter turning white, but always with a jet black tip to the tail. Theermine, 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 now 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-avs., 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. Names that Don't Name. 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 pothing 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 hooves. They salve the odor as a woman smiles a rose and they eat the hoof parings as a gourmet eats truffles.—Minneapolis Journal. Supply of Gold. It is mainly 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 auds. 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.

THE NIGHT RIDERS AIDED KENTUCKY Original Organization Did Away with Toll Gates and Brought About Good Roads. COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAWY Crimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Association Which Caused the Abolishment of the Turnpike Companies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob violence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the southern 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 a mob, that has not been shouldered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of state roads. For months the turnover 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 a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll roads and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became impossible. The owners of the turntables would not expend one cent for improvements as long as there was question of their losing their property, by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct travelers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organised. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be defiant he was dogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the safe gate keeper was glad to give his job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll rates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible or almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and drive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of eight Riders could be had the manes are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were siftedown it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance. Payche Knot a Lare Saver. Altoona, Pa.—Having washed and cried her hair, Mary Houser, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Payche not and walked out on the front arch. While she leaned against she rolling it gave way and she was restricted backward, head first, in feet to the sidewalk, alighting in her head. The collure broke the impact of her head against the flag- ones, but she did not entirely espe in injury. She suffered a alight concussion the brain, but recovered conscious a few hours later. Old Age Common in Rochefort Paris, France.—Rochefort seems to be a great town for longevity. Investigation of the records reveals the fact that during the last century from January 1, 1801, to December 1, 1900, 144 persons in Rochefort claimed the age of 90 over. Two of these were centenarians, one meeting the age of 191, and the other dying at 196. 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

ONE TEST FOR PEARLS. Berlin Hotel Porter's Experiment That Was Not a Success. The porter of one of the leading Berlin hotels has just had a curious adventure. Some time ago a dealer in pearls who was stopping at the hotel told him an infallible way to distinguish real pearls from false, which was to put them on the ground and stamp on them. If real they would resist the test, if false they would be crushed. The porter, however, never had a chance of putting this theory to the test until a few days ago. The director of a well known company in Berlin, while dining at the hotel, lost a valuable pearl pin. This was found by the waiter, who gave it to the porter to return to its owner. The porter saw his opportunity had come at last to test the quality of a pearl. He put the pin on the ground, placed his heel on it and ground it to a powder. When the owner arrived to claim it there was a somewhat stormy scene, but he was good natured enough to consent to say no more about the affair on the porter refunding half the value of the pin, 680 marks. In future the porter will submit any jewelry he may find for expert sale.

Pratt, Dead from " hunger and Thirst, Found in California. Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, if I could only and water! I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I ate some green brush, but I can't go any more. I wonder how long it will take to die. These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from brman habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no 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 dying. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 3, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it so often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, Inyo county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I would perish. I thought I could make it, but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk I have brothers, C. H. Pratt, at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt, in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyoming." LONGEST AUTO FREIGHT LINE Cars Will Carry 27 Passengers and 10 Tons of Freight. Spokane, Wash.—What is believed to be the longest automobile freight and passenger stage line on the continent is in operation between Oreville and Brewster in Okanogan County, Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse powercars, which will carry twenty-seven passengers and ten tons of freight, making the run of eighty miles in eight hours. The trip by wagon occupies almost two days. Branch lines will also be established to other points in the Okanogan country. The other line is between Marens and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokakne, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river-man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in deeppair. The animals are becoming so force that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating crops down to the roots. Not content with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invading front yards of the dwellers. Citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a round-up. They put up a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on each side and in short time drove in and killed with clubs five hundred jack rabbits. EAGLE KILLS A SHARK. ship's Crew Witness Desperate Fight in Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore.—A remarkable combat between a large eagle and a shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangler in Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Occohnock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce struggle, the shark pulling the eagle under the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally killed and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its mate, hovering close by, tried to attack them. Shot an Albino Squirrel Marquette, Mich.—While hunting near Grand Marals, Gustav Herbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calran, of Grand Marals, and will be mounted. Albino deer are occasionally killed in upper Michigan, but this is the first time of which there is record that a white squirrel has been bagged I. M.
