The Guests Represent the Highest Thought and Most Substantial Achievements of the Negro—the Ladies' Auxiliary Brings Joy to the "Inner Man"A Gala Occasion. The fifteenth anniversary of the National Colored Personal Liberty League was celebrated in magnificent style on Wednesday evening, June 16, at the handsomely appointed cafe of Mr. S. Johnson in the Odd Fellows' Hall building, M street, northwest. The attendance was large and representative, the company embracing Negroes who have achieved success along substantial lines, some in the professions, other in the federal office and many in the walks of business and the industries. In the body were men who stand for the highest ideals of the race and nation, and the spirit of "personal liberty" for man, woman and child—the keynote of the organization was pleasingly in evidence. At the appointed hour, President L. A. Wiles, of Iowa, the very capable successor of the late Henry Clay Hawkins, rapped for order and after a fervent prayer by Mr. L. C. Moore, of Mississippi, the "feast of reason and flow of soul" began. Mr. Wiles made a happy speech, in which he emphasized the broad principles of the League and bade the invited guests welcome to the hospitalities that had been provided for the occasion. Mr. Wiles plead earnestly for freedom of speech, freedom of thought and hoped the day would come when every citizen's personal rights would be respected and due credit would be given honest differences of opinion on the great issues that rivet the attention of the country. He was liberally applauded. MR. L. C. MOORE. HOW THE LEAGUE CAME INTO BEING Mr. Charles C. Curtis, founder and national organizer of the League, was then introduced in felicitious terms, and the audience was treated to a comprehensive and intensely interesting story of how the Colored, Personal Liberty League came into being, paying a just tribute to the late President Hawkins and to each distinguished gentleman who had been the guest of honor at the various annual functions. This occasion, he pointed out, represented a slight change in the usual order—this banquet was given in honor of the ladies Auxiliary, to whose loyalty, devotion and untiring industry a large measure of the League's success is due. Mr. Curtis spoke as follows: ADDRESS OF CHARLES C. CURTIS, NATIONAL ORGANIZER OF THE NATIONAL COL Delivered at the 15th Anniversary of the League, June 16, 1909 Mr. Curtis said in part: "Mr. President, members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League. It has been the custom of our organization to celebrate its anniversary by giving a banquet in the honor of some distinguished citizen, and we have had the honor of having our distinguished guest some of the leading colored citizens of the country, and we are proud to say tonight that several of these distinguished gentlemen are present to celebrate with us tonight. Some of these gentlemen have been our guest of honor and others have acted in the capacity of toast masters. Mr. President I would not be do MR. C. C. CURTIS, NATIONAL ORGANIZER ing justice to this organization if I did not pause for a moment and make a brief statement as to those who have passed away since our last anniversary. It has pleased the Almighty God to take from our midst our most highly honored president, Mr. H. C. Hawkins, of West Virginia, who filled the office of president of this organization with credit and dignity for twelve consecutive years, and words cannot express my feeling at this time when I see this vacant chair. We have also lost another of our good and faithful members and officers, Mr. Samuel Tinney, who was Sergeant-at-Arms for several years, and was one of our most faithful members. Now Mr. President we will let the dead bury the dead. I now wish to call your attention to one of the most distinguished gentlemen whom this League had the honor of giving its first anniversary in his honor, and who has always been a true and loyal friend to Personal Liberty and has did a great deal to keep this organization alive, and I point proudly to his name, the Honorable W. C. Chase, Editor of the Washington Bee. The National Colored Personal Liberty League was organized in 1894 with a membership of only 300 in the District of Columbia with the following officers: H. C. Hawkins, of West Virginia, President; James Edwards, Pennsylvania, Vice President; L. A. Wiles, of Iowa, Secretary; MkKenzie Scott, District of Columbia, Treasurer; Charles C Curtis, of Iowa, National Organizer and Financial Secretary; Charles Vessels, of Virginia, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Executive Committee: W. F. Everett, Pennsylvania, Steven Johnson, Nebraska; J. H. Anderson, District of Columbia; P. C. Hall, New Jersey; B. H. Baggett, New York. The League was incorporated in 1902. Following are the present officers of the League; Mr. L. A. Wiles Iowa, President; L. C. Moore, Mississippi, Vice President; J. H. Jones District of Columbia, Secretary; J. H. Ellis, Georgia, Treasurer; Charles C. Curtis, Iowa, National Organizer and Financial Secretary, and Charles Vessels, Virginia, Sergeant-at-Arms. This League has grown for fifteen years until we now have a membership of over 600,000 members in the United States, representing every State in the Union. Some one may wonder how this organization has made such a rapid progress in such a short period of time: my answer is that nine-tenths of the American Negroes are in favor of personal liberty, and any one twenty-one years of age of moral character and in good standing in the community in which they reside may become an honorary or an active member of the Personal Liberty League by paying the sum of twenty-five cents per year. This is not a beneficial organization, but it is the aim of our members to make it so January 1, 1910, and our books are now open for the enrollment of names, anyone paying the sum of twenty-five cents will receive an honorary or active membership certificate for one year, and now after haw- WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JUNE 26, 1909 MR. L. A. WILES. PRESIDENT ing made this brief statement as to the history of this organization and its object I now take great pleasure in presenting to you our President, Mr. L. A. Wiles, of Iowa, who will now preside. Miss L. Beatriz Chase, an accomplished musician and a young lady who is making a brilliant record as an instructor in music in our public schools, rendered a piano solo, "Fra Diavolo," by Sydney Smith, winning an enthusiastic encore, after which Mr. L. M. Hershaw, of the General Land Office, Interior Department, spoke of "The Responsibilities of Personal Liberty," showing that while personal liberty was the just portion of every citizen, each citizen was charged with the responsibility of using that liberty with due discretion, and that self-restraint and culture should always be modifying accompaniments to intellectual, moral, religious and industrial freedom. He told some witty stories and put everybody in a good humor by his effervescent personality. THE "JOY-SIDE" OF AFRO- AMERICAN LIFE MR. R. W. THOMPSON. The next speaker was Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Indiana, who has been for many years identified with the journalistic life of the Negroes of the nation. His theme was the "Joy Side of Afro-American Life." He told of the wonderful progress the race has made since emancipation, and gave statistics illustrative of the advancement of our people in law, medicine, educational endeavor, agricultural pursuits and the ownership of property. "This is the bestage the Negro has ever kown," declared Mr. Thompson, "and the future holds possibilities now undreamed of. The sky may appear cloudy sometimes, from certain points of view, but if the sunlight is sought, the bright side of our life can be discerned. From Valley Forge to Yorktown, from the Dred Scott decision to the emancipation proclamation, and from Bull Run to Appomattox were but a narrow span of years, as time is measured, and the Negro's seemingly darkest hour is but the forerunner to the dawn that is to come." Mr. Thompson spoke in complimentary terms of the absent Editor, W. Calvin Chase, who had been the League's special guest on two occasions in the past fifteen years, and referred to his two well educated and talented children, W. Calvin, Jr., and Miss Beatriz Chase, of whom he and the race are justly proud. A BELOVED SON OF IOWA Mr. J. Frank Blackburn, the first Negro to practice pharmacy in the State of Iowa, and who at one time JOHN H. HARRIS field the office of market master in the City of Des Moines—the first of his race to be elected by the people, was next introduced. Mr. Blackburn's speech was one of the best of the evening, and dwelt upon the necessity for optimism in the solution of the problems that confron us year by year. Since 1903 Mr. Blackburn has been an attache of the Office of Pecorder of Deeds, frequently acting as Chief Deputy. He is one of the most efficient men ever connected with this important office. He spoke in the place of Recorder John C. Dancy, who was unavoidably absent on account of a call out of the city. "The Judiciary," was the theme assigned to Honorable Thomas L. Jones, of the District Bar, and "Our Constitutional Rights." was ably handled by Mr. John A. Lankford, M. M. S., the well-known architect. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., contributed a lively cornet solo, being recalled, and the exercises in the main hall were brought to a close with an original poem, "Just Keep on Climbin," by Lieutenant Richard E. S. Toomey. 'AT THE FESTAL BOARD At the table, following a delightful repast furnished by the Ladies Auxiliary, to whom reference has been made above, the principal address was delivered by Honorable L. U. Moore, formerly a member of the legislature of the State of Mississippi. Frequently interrupted by hearty applause, Mr. Moore spoke as follows: Moore's Speec Other addresses were delivered by Messrs. R. C. Scott, Sergeant Hayman, C. C. Carter, A. W. Samuels, George McKenzie and others, all of whom were enjoyable. Mr. R. W. Thompson expressed the appreciation of the efforts of the ladies to make the eveing a happy one. The officers of the Ladies' Auxiliary are as follows: President, Mrs. L. C. Moore; Vice President, Mrs. M. C. Curtis; Secretary, Mrs. J. H. Jones; Treasurer, Mrs. L. A. Wiles; MR LI BLAYBURN Chaplain, Mrs. Susan Cornish. Letters of regret were read from Honorable J. S. Sherman, Vice President of the United States; Captain J. F. Oyster, President of the Board of Education; Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland; Messrs. Samuel Pe-Nedrey, of the Central Labor Union, Senator Guggenheim, of Colorado, Honorable M. E. Olmstead, of Penn- MRS. MARY F. MOORE. sylvania, Honorable J. W. Norris, Cotter T. Bride, Congressman W. B. McKinley, Governor Judon Harmon, of Ohio; Congressman J. T. Lloyd, Governor T. R. Marshall, of Indiana, and many others. The grand celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the National Personal Liberty League will live long in the memory of every one who had the pleasure of sharing its bountiful hospitality. TIME AND PLACE TO GET A HOME The time is now! The place is Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama! Every man who is at the head of a family or plans to have a family should buy a home, either a lot in a village or a farm. Colored people can find no better place in which to permanently settle than in Macon County, Alabama, in which the Tuskegee Institute is located. In the first place, the white people in Macon County are among the finest and fairest in the world. No racial friction exists, justice is meted out to black and white alike. In the second place, there are ten thousand acres of farming land in Macon County, which can be bought for cash or on easy terms. Third, if persons do not wish to buy but wish to move into the County, and rent, and work by the day, they can easily arrange to do this. Fourth, Aside from the land scattered in other sections of Macon County, there are fourteen hundred acres of land in small tracts for sale within sight of the Normal School. Fifth, the public schools for colored people in Macon County are the best, in our opinion, in the South. Sixth, Aside from the Tuskegee Normal Industrial Institute, the town schools, as well as the county schools throughout the county are in session from eight to nine months in the year These schools are taught in first-class buildings, nicely ceiled or plastered, and whitewashed or painted on the outside, and nothing but the best teachers are employed. Seventh, the churches in Macon County are among the best in the South, and the ministers are improving every year. OUR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN FROM COLORADO We the members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League, representing over 600,000 colored voters in the United States; an organization that rendered valuable services in the recent campaign in behalf of the Personal Liberty League take great pleasure in presenting to the readers of the Washington Bee the Honorable John A. Martin, of Pueblo, Colorado, who is serving his first term in Congress, having defeated the Honorable W. A. Haggett, the Republican nominee. Mr. Martin is a self made man and is a true friend to the colored race, not only in his own state but of the entire country. He has made a great many friends since he came to Washington, both among Democrats and Republicans, on account of his kind and business disposition. He believes in a square deal for all men, regardless to creed or color, and he is now giving his attention to a bill that is before Congress known as the Old Folk's Home and Freedman Bank Bill, and he is making a careful investigation as to the merits of this bill, as he has received a great many letters from colored citizens all over the country and he has stated that if there is any possible chance to give the surviving heirs of the Freedman's Bank their just dues, that he for one will vote for such a bill. Mr. Martin has a great many friends among the leading colored citizens of his district, such men as Dr. S. A. Huff, one of the leading colored physicians of Pueblo, and Mr. M. S. Trailor, another leading business man of Pueblo are among his best friends. We feel safe in saying that the voters of his district could not have made a more wise and better selection than they did when they elected Mr. Martin to represent them in the Sixty-First Congress, and it is to be hoped that every liberty loving and thinking colored man in Mr. Martin's district will see to it that he is re-elected to the Sixty-Second Congress by an increased majority. The presence of Honorable Charles W. Anderson, Internal Revenue Collector at New York, in the city last week, as the commencement orator for the public schools, was the occasion for an outing to Washington Park, followed by a dinner in the evening at Gray's cafe, last Saturday. The outing was thoroughly enjoyable, and Mr. Lewis Jefferson, proprietor of Washington Park, comes in for much praise for the-courtesy he showed to the party. The dinner in the evening was one of the handsomest and most enjoyable affairs of its kind ever given it this justly famous cafe. It was a genuinely sociable and congenial party of gentlemen, proud of the opportunity to show Mr. Anderson honor. Mr. R. R. Horner, Judge M. Gibbs, Honorable W. T. Vernon, Honorable J. C. Dancy, Professor Garnet Wilkinson, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, Professor W. B. Evans, Mr. Lewis Gregory, Mr. R. W. Tyler, and Mr. James A. Cobb, and Professor Roscoe C. Bruce responded to toasts, the latter to "Our Guest" the response be made by MR. CHARLES W ANDERSON. Honorable Charles W Anderson, in a speech that was replete with brilliant passages and sane advice. Others present to partake of the feast of reason and flow of soul, and to do honor to Mr. Anderson, were; Dr. E. D. Williston, Dr. Sumner Wormley, Mr. Arthur Newman, Mr. James E. Walker, Mr. Thomas Clark, Dr. A. M Curtis, Mr. Wyatt Archer, Mr. William Beverly, Mr. L. A. Brown, Mr. James W. Gray, Drs. Charles I. West, Mr. George Scott, Mr. Whitfield McKinlay, Mr. John Bruce, Mr. Thomas L. Jones, Mr. W. L. Pollard, Mr. W. H. Clifford, Mr. Saunders, Professor John Nalle, Mr. H. C. Tyson, Mr. Edward Williams, of Cleveland; Mr. Arthur Gray, and Mr. Z. P. Moore. Judge R. H. Terrell acted as toastmaster in his own inimical way. The Editor of The Bee, who was confined to his home by illness, sent a felicitous letter, regretting his ability to be present. Mr. Anderson was deeply moved by the honor extended him. Sunday evening Dr. and Mrs. Williston entertained a small company of gentlemen at their home in honor of Mr. Anderson. . = ° Ss a” 2 is - spe Loo ase ie aoe M9! oat ae PS eee w NE gp eBetanceent, carts eee Ze eet Saeats cw GO oof h ly bbb eee q é - DAYS GONE BY.’ .. : .

COUNTERFEITERS NEW SCHEM How the Smooth Demonstrator Gets His Victim's Coln. "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 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 ignorantus 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 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 lorried 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 cary "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copypat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. A long 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 regions, where it may often be obed statuesque on one leg and used in prospection.—Scotsman. The Gingko Tree. Bodies 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 Oolite series, at Broma, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that it first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Platter Ektarts. 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 *Solen skirts* especially: Before the skir 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 leaf 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 not less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or dishearted articles." A Clever Bear. 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 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 to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothpicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,000,000 quills. 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.

Odessa.—Peter Kavulitch, an Austrian mason, went mad here as the result of brooding over being forced to wall up the daughter of the chieftain of a Tartar tribe in the Caucasus in a living tomb. He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken 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 valyntempt to find the girl. The girl was condemned to death in the tomb because she eloped with one of her father's servants. She was engaged to the son of a wealthy Tartar, and all preparations had been made for the wedding. She was caught with the servant after a two days' chase, and was tried at a family council. It was decided to build a wall around her and leave her to her fate. Kavulitch was kidnapped, and he was taken into the mountains to find the whole tribe drawn up to witness the living burial of the girl. The man protested against the work, but his life was threatened unless he obeyed. The girl was tied hand and foot to a stake. She implored mercy, but her cries were unheeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to follow it with a wall two feet thick. ME-LANGE BEFORE 6IX AFTER USING. MONTHS USING.

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 encroached upon their farm land they cut it up and sold it until they were soon able to retire comfortably. There is an old German custom of making a wish whenever a fresh loaf of bread is cut. On September 7, 1904, Mrs. Raad had just made the customary wish, and was about to cut a loaf when she dropped dead. The husband cut the loaf and put half in his wife's corn. The ether half was preserved in a tin box, the neighbors having been instructed to put it in his corn. THE WINDOW SILL MIRROR Rarely Seen in New York But Plentiful in Philadelphia. Every once in a while you see one of them in New York but not often. They're commoner in Brooklyn, but are nowhere seen in the profusion that you find them in Philadelphia. Meaning of course, those mirror devices people have on the sills of the second floor windows to give a tip on who is coming up the street or down the street, or more important, who is at the front door. They strike the average observer as rather provincial in idea because he thinks instinctively of the shut in person who's only pleasure is in seeing who's on the street. But they're very helpful in telling when a caller is getting near, so that the woman of the house has time to make a hurried toilet and be calmly waiting in her very best when the visitor comes in. Also they give a chance to sound the not at home warning to the servants. New York Sun. Some Valuable Stone The Emperor Francis Joseph owns the Florentine, which has an eventful history. To the King of Portugal belongs the Star of the South, valued at £3,000,000; while In the Russian sceptre is the Orloff which once adorned a Brahmin idol, says Home Chat. Such stones as these are so large that they are practically unsalable. No one person is rich enough to purchase them. Again the expense of cutting is enormous. The Cullinan diamond will require at least £10,000 to be spent on it for this alone. Even then, the gem now 3,024 carats, will weigh some 1,200 carats, while the sections cut away will themselves form valuable stones, ranging from twenty carats downward. Singing Pigeons The queer Chinese change pigeons into song-birds by fastening whistles to their breasts. The wind of their flight then causes a wierd and plaintive music that is seldom silenced in the pigeon-haunted cities of Pekin and Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon-flyers, fasten whistles beneath the wings of the valuable racing carriers, asserting that the shrill noise is a sure protection against hawks and other birds of prey. As a similar protection, reeds, emitting an odd walling sound, are fixed to the tall feathers of the dispatch-bearing pigeons of the German army, For the Knocker.

Johnson's Strong Utterances on Subject of Ill-Advised Marriages. POVERTY MARRIAGES DISAPPROVED Boston Pastor Discourages Mating on Insufficient Earnings.Those with Communicable Diseases, Inherited or Acquired, Should Remain Single. Boston, Mass.—"I will refuse to marry persons afflicted with consumption or any hereditary or communicable disease if I have personal knowledge of such alliments existing, and I am also opposed to marrying divorced people, except in the case of the innocent party," said Rev. Dr. Herbert S. Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist Church, in this city. "I do not think it advisable to marry young couples who are in poor circumstances. I believe, through observation and consultation, that a prospective bridegroom should have an earning capacity of at least $15 a week before he should consider the matrimonial venture. This statement, of course, does not apply in all cases, for there are always exceptions, but I think the union of persons in the middle class in this country, who are in poor circumstances, creates nothing but a hell on earth. "When I made the statement some time ago from the pulpit of my church that I would marry any couple that wanted to get married if they did not have the marriage fee, my remark was a facetious one, made half in jest and half in earnest, but I will gladly perform the ceremony for any unfortunate couple that might have slinned, free of cost, if they apply to me and give evidence of good faith. It is a pitiful sight in a large city to see a young girl carrying a babe on her arm without a husband to show his love, or a father to provide for her and her offspring. "I was, perhaps, led to make the statement that I would marry all such couples that applied to me through a case that came to me not long ago. Our church is so situated in the heart of the city that practicability is our chief aim. I became interested in a young girl who had sinned, and I appeared in court in her behalf. She was dressed in mourning and carried her babe on her arm. It developed that when her aged mother learned of the sin and disgrace of her daughter, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. And that is why I stand ready to help uplift the sinners that are making a struggle to live an upright and honorable life, and our church will assist them in every reasonable manner, such as finding employment for the husband, etc. "Now as to the marriage of young girls and fellows in meagre circumstances. There has been and is constantly being brought to my attention cases of hasty marriages when neither person is in a financial condition to warrant their marriage. Fifteen dollars a week is little enough to defray the expenses of a home with its furnishings, its doctor's and nurse's bills, the support of children and the mite that should be given to charity by all Christians. Of course, when I place the weekly salary at $15 I refer only to the middle classes, that is Irish-Americans, or those of Anglo-Saxon extraction, and so forth. I don't refer to the lower class of people from Europe who can exist on much less. "And in regard to persons afflicted with tuberculosis or other diseases of a hereditary nature to which man and woman are subject, it is my belief that a man or woman unfortunate enough to be effected with communicable diseases should be unselfish enough when they are aware of these diseases existing to be content to merely love the man or woman and not ask one to have whole lives blasted. It is a terrible thing to have children born into this world with the taint of disease upon them. Yet there are a great many marriages in this country in the course of the year when one or the other of the contracting persons is a victim of some communicable sexual disease, and is the cause of much misery and the loss to the United States of millions of dollars. "I will not marry persons whom I know are afflicted thusly, and if there is any suspicion in my mind I will ask them frankly about the matter. A man should be as unselfish and sacrificing in such matters as the soldier or the fireman or the hundreds of other heroes, and it is their duty to humanity as well as to their country that they cast aside all thoughts of marriage when they know they are unfit to become husbands and fathers. "I have steadfastly refused to marry divorced persons, unless in the cases of the innocent persons. There are innumerable cases of innocent persons being divorced through no fault of theirs and they should not be compelled to suffer for the sins of the guilty." --- --- 6 THE REE PUBLISVED A 1109 Eye St., N.

The Bee doesn't mean women who are unworthy of support, but worthy wives who have been deserted by husbands without cause or provocation. The Bee is of the opinion that Congress intended that such a law should be enforced by the Juvenile Court, but Justice Stafford thinks to the contrary. If the government appeals the case and no doubt it will, whatever the higher court decides the Juvenile Court must abide by. WE SOON FORGET "Ingratitude is stranger than traitor's arms," is an aphorism too true. Those who have been of service to us and have sacrificed all are soon forgotten. We soon forget those who aid us and elevate us to the topmost round of the ladder. There is a day of retribution however, and when it comes, it comes hard and strong. The child falls, the wife falls, the father, husband, brother, sister, and down as far as we are able to count. It is always best to be thankful to those who are good and kind to us. That we may not forget, remember the good deeds of those who are kind to us. Editor Chase of the Washington Bee knows but little about the educational conditions in Florida, Editor Chase says: "If this is an Agricultural and Mechanical school for colored youth, the students have no business being on military and dress parade. They should wear uniforms in keeping with their school." Mr. Chase seems to be ignorant of reasons why the system of wearing uniforms is so very prevalent with the higher educational institutions of the country. Uniforms worn by students in academies and colleges are more for the effect of discipline and teaching obedience. The aspiring student would in all probability prefer to be a ranking officer than a private, and to reach the position he must fight to lead his fellows in all the departments incident to a successful student's life. Then too, uniformity of dress tends to inspire equality. It greatly dissipates the air of superiority, /which at times shows itself among those who are more able to wear finer clothing. State Senator Cone's jackassical attitude toward the agricultural college of Florida for colored youth was a direct blow at the ambitious Negro youth of the State and to cripple the only institution in the State wherein the Negro boy has an opportunity of acquiring an academic and industrial education. Editor Chase is absolutely ignorant of conditions in Florida and knows nothing of the struggles of the race in an effort to acquire a knowledge of the common branches of an English education or industrial training. --- THE LOGICAL END OF LYNCH LAW From a Washington Daily The trouble with the lyncher is that he keeps his every apologist forever fashioning fresh excuses for illegal executions of criminals or suspected criminals. That is to say, that is one trouble with him—one among many. The logical end of lynch law is contempt for all law and reckless disregard of it entirely and in all forms. A Negro was recently taken from a Florida jail and lynched, notwithstanding the fact that he had been tried for the murder he was alleged to have committed, found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. Moreover, his sentence was to have been executed within five days. There was no fault to find with the conduct of his trial. He was promptly arraigned when caught, tried in order and with due regard to decorous and decent procedure, and would have been in his grave and out of the way within ninety days of the time the crime was committed—and, mark you, the crime was not even the "usual" one; it was murder. What, consciously or unconsciously, was the isolated motive behind this mob's dastardly work? It had no excuse whatever along the usually proclaimed lines. Therd was surely no unseemly delay of the law to complain of. No further appeal to the courts was contemplated; the governor had even announced that he would not seek to interfere with the execution of the death sentence, scheduled to be carried out within less than one week's time. The one lone motive in it all was the mob's inclination to show its contempt for the law—its willingness to repudiate the law's authority upon the slightest pretext. That is what moved it to lynch this Negro. Split hairs as one may, and seek for other and better reasons, if one will, there stands the truth of the matter in all its hideousness. And it is the logical culmination of lynch law. Lawlessness feeds upon itself and waxes fatter and fatter as the diet is supplied in even more generous measure. It cankers the soul of the rich and the poor impartially. It produces a lyncher in Florida and a millionaire thief among the sugar trust kings in New York. The one breaks one commandment by taking human life without undisputed justification, the other breaks another commandment by employing false weights and measures in dealing with his fellow-man and supplying his bodily wants and necessities. And both are the victims of themselves and the taint of disrespect for the law of the land. MR. TAFT'S OPTIMISM AND THE TROUBLE IN GEORGIA In his Hoawrd University speech Wednesday night President Taft made several optimistic statements regarding the Negro problem, which are particularly interesting because of the present trouble on, the Georgia railroad. The President said that never before has the future of the Negro seemed so bright, so hopeful. Conditions in the South are more favorable to the Negro than they have ever been. Southerner's of the better class are coming to regard the Negro as one of their most valuable assets. Of course, much depends upon the industry and perseverance of the colored man himself. He can make himself valued if he takes wise advantage of his opportunity. Thus argued Mr. Taft, A week ago the President's speech would have been taken as a matter of course. A week ago there was no quarrel over the colored men employed on the Georgia railroad. Negro firemen have been working for years on the Southern railroads. But since the Georgia strike began the Negro question has been used to gather sympathy for the strikers. It has been given out that the strike is due to the discharge of some white men and the appointment of colored men in their places. "It is generally believed," says a dispatch from Atlanta, "that if the firemen win this strike, the movement will grow into a demand for the elimination of Negro firemen on all the Southern railroads." At any rate, the situation in Georgia furnishes a rough idea of the difficulties surrounding the progress of a race toward the best things that civilization affords. No doubt the President speaks with authority when he says that the better element among the Southern white people are inclined to regard the Negro as an asset. But it is clear that wide difference of opinion may and does prevail in the South as to the proper means of developing and realizing upon that asset. THE COLORED MAN'S FRIEND We the members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League, representing over 600,000 colored voters in the United States and a membership of over 5,000 in the District of Columbia take pleasure in presenting to the readers of the Washington Bee Mr. H. H. Flathers, who represented the District of Columbia as a delegate to the Chicago convention. Mr. Flathers is and always has been an original Taft man, although his colleague was known as a Foraker man, Mr. Flathers declared in all his speeches that Mr. Taft would be nominated on the first ballot, and the result of the Chicago convention speaks for itself. He is one of the most able young bsuiness men of the District and is very popular among the very best class of citizens, regardless of creed or color. He is a true friend to the colored race and has done inany a charitable act to further their cause, and we feel safe in saying that we voice the sentiments of the majority of the colored citizens of the District of Columbia when we say that it is their best wishes and hopes to see Mr. Flatathers elected National Committeeman in 1912, believing as we do that a better selection cannot be made. NEGRO WINS New Orleans,—Frank Walker, a white man who had been named as legatee of a $25,000 estate by Virginia R. Davis, a mulatto woman, was today dispossessed by a decision of the Civil District Court, which upheld a contest of the will made by George Campbell, a Nashville Negro, who is a natural son of the woman. The court handing down the decision condemned Walker in terms exceedingly severe and emphasized the fact that his association with the Negro woman was in violation of the State law, adding: "And the public policy of the Southern civilization, the integrity of the white race in the South, demands the enforcement of the law." "The exhibition of the industrial training features of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial School for Colored Pupils, as described in the news of the past week, is most interesting, and speaks well for the management and the instruction of the school. Schools like this offer a solution of a great problem in making the Negroes a self-ridiant and self-sustaining people, and the leaders of the race can do no better for their young than to urge and aid them to attend these schools and receive the benefit of their training, to the end that they may become valued members of the citizenship. "There is work in this country for all who will work and know how to work, and the worker is the man who is respected, the drone never. The Loy or girl who starts life with an industrial training has a capital that cannot be taken from him, and if his character is good he will make a place for himself. The pupils of Prairie View school who go out into the world with this class, if they remain self-respecting and loyal to the teachings of their school, will take their place among the State builders and will be accorded full respect." The Enterprise is one of the best of the smaller dailies of the South. It is not printed in a great city—or, at least, not a large city, for all cities in grand old Texas may be great—and it assumes no metropolitan airs. What it says of the colored graduates of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial School, therefore, we take to be sincere, and to be accepted by the pupils about to go forth into the world to make an honest living as a genuine expression of a representative Texas paper's faith in the future and the story it will tell for them. We think the people of the South may well pause in somewhat anxious uncertainty the while the State of Georgia determines just how far the Beaumont Enterprise is right in its optimistic conclusions in respect of the Negro and the place he may rea- sonably hope to occupy in the South's scheme of things. Is Georgia going to say he is not to be permitted to shovel coal? And, if so, how long will it be before Georgia will say he shall not be a barber, or a driver, or butler?—occupations he has followed in the South for years, faithfully, satisfactorily, and with credit to himself. The Beaumont' Enterprise's words are fair enough; but unless they find a responsive echo throughout Dixie, what 'shall they profit the Negro and his future existence? Fine words butter no parsnips, and the Negro is very much interested in buttering his parsnips nowadays, or, in any event, being permitted to enjoy the parsnips he is able honestly to accumulate within the confines of his own larder. The Negro politician's ambition is for office and so far as his people are concerned he cares but little. The Negro politician is everlastingly scheming to injure those who may aspire for office. His ambition is for office and nothing more. If he fails to get an office the administrative power is all wrong and the chief executive is inimical to his people. There are some politicians who love politics for the novelty and amusement realized and there are a few others who believe that to the "victor belongs the spoils." This is the sensible politician and there is much wisdom in his philosophy. THE BLACK AND YELLOW PERIL IN UNITED STATES. The white people of the United States has no one to blame for the Black and Yellow Perils but themselves. The Negro as history quotes shows that he was brought to this country against his will and forced to remain in this country until the War of the Rebellion gave him freedom. The Yellow Peril came here by invitation and like a great Roman king, they came, saw, and conquered. The recent earthquake in California gave an outline of the way the Chinks work in this country. Take the Siegel case for illustration: we are not surprised—some several years ago the New York papers came out and condemned the practice of young white women teaching Chinamen. In teaching Sunday School the Chinks require and get one pupil to every teacher—how much better it would be to have one teacher to one or two dozen pupils. If these fine young white ladies would take and instruct young colored men, and in many cases young white men, there would be no necessity for these murders. The great trouble with the American people is that they will take into their bosom any nationality, and all combine to knife the colored brother who has been here for about 300 years. The white people will find out in due time that after the foreign element in the United States gets through performing that the American Negro will be their best friend. Between the Chinks and the Black Hand our American white brother will have his hands full. On the other hand the American Negro is a peaceful citizen of this great Republic and one of the most badiya bused. DR. SAMUEL M. PIERCE There is no young man in this city who has made greater headway in his profession than Dr. Samuel M. Pierce. By industry and perseverance he has been successful in building himself a home and rearing two fine children; a boy and a girl. Dr. Pierce has the respect of the people because he is reliable and honest. The people have confidence in him because they know that he has been a good husband, a kind father, and a true friend. Such eminent physicians as Drs. Curtis, Cabbaness, Childs, Daniels, Sewell and others, speak of this young physician in the highest terms. Any attempt to reflect on him or to impress the public that he is not what he claims to be, will injoniniously fail. ST LUKE'S The Bee has always and has now, great faith in the business ability of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of the Grand United Order of St. Luke's. Miss Walker is the most wonderful woman in the United States, and a person who has the confidence and respect of every Negro in the country. An effort has been made in this city by a few individuals, under the guise of being members of the Order of St. Luke's, to establish a bank in this city. It will fail, or rather it has failed because it had not the endorsement of the people who have money. If the management in Richmond, Virginia, would appoint or send representatives from Richmond Virginia, to this city, giving them the authority to establish a bank among the people and officering the bank officers with reputable and business people, not all St. Luke's, there would be no question of having a bank in this city, such as never before existed. Will Mrs. Walker, for whom The Bee has the highest respect, and in whom it has the most implicit confidence, consider the kindly and friendly suggestion of The Bee?

PARENTS—TEACHERS Flag Day was observed at the Alfred Jones School with the following program: Following the children's patriotic exercises, addresses were made by Mr. J. H. Myers, whose address was eloquent; Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas, of Fort Stevens, President of the Citizens' Association of Brightwood, District of Columbia, who told the children of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, with whom she had walked and talked when he was defending the flag while shot and shell fell thick and fast' around him at her home; Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, Principal of the Ferguson and William's Normal and Polytechnic College. Abbeville, South Carolina. Mrs. A. Dean, President of the Original Citizens' Association of Patrons of Schools, in response to her plea for a greater union, a federation of parents and teachers was formed with the following officers: President, Mrs. J. M. Layton; First Vice President, Miss Nettie Grant, Brightwood, District of Columbia; Second Vice President, Mrs. Hattie L. Green; Third Vice President, Miss R. E. Bell; Secretary, Mrs. D. Cardoza. About three hundred new members were enrolled, representing the different parts of the city. Mrs. J. M. Layton, Secretary of the Grand Army of the Republic, presided. Mrs. J. B. Richardson is meeting with success in her efforts for the summer outing at Camp Pleasant, for mothers and children. We think it would be a good plan in the reorganization of the committee to concentrate the fund as is done with the Childrens' Playground and other funds, making one of the subcommittees alone responsible for the soliciting of funds to help the general committee—placing at its head a person of influence in whom we have confidence. AN APPEAL AN APPEAL Almighty Bod the uler of this great universe, Teach us to be men in deeds as well as name— Infuse our hearts to hatred towards our fellowman— And all other kindred deeds that blot man's soul, And makes it a fit subject for that bad abode— Let our love for mankind be measured not By his earthly possession nor the color of his skin, But from the nobleness that dwells within— Into all pathways scatter light For those who walk at night, Let our motto be: "Let Light Shine," Thus we lift up all mankind. NEWSY CORNER It does seem that since special occasions for celebration are a part of the public school system, that we should have an assembly hall in very building. The grim monster, death, seems to have played havoc with our teachers this year. We are pained to record the seventh death among them: that of Mrs. Helen Johnson Cheeks, the late wife of Frank W. Cheeks and a former school ma'am whose health began to fail a little more than a year ago from the great strain of the work. The deceased was the daughter of Mrs. Henry Johnson. She was buried from St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, on last Saturday, June 12. The closing song service of the season, of the Lincoln Memorial Choir was held in the church, corner of 11th and R streets, on last Sunday evening. The same question is being asked about commencement tickets as were asked concerning drill tickets. Most of the Time Out of Doors. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer. They camp out on islands, in the forests, and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are very merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing, they dance, they aling, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics; they all become like children and are the very happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. The Longest-Lived If you would enjoy a long life you should become a minister (of any religious denomination), or, falling that, a gardener, a gamekeeper, a farmer or a railway engine driver. These, according to Dr. John Tatham's report to the Registrar-General on the mortality in certain occupations during the three years from 1900, which was issued last night, are the callings which offer the best prospect of longevity. At the other end of the scale come the general laborer, the tin miner, the hawker and the hotel servant, and about midway are the physician, the undertaker and the tobaccoist. As compared with lawyers, Dr. Tatham records, medical men die more rapidly at every stage of life, while as compared with the clergy their mortality is enormously in excess.—London Daily Chronicle. Work Uplifts. All business and all work should lift up, and not hold down; it should make free, and not enslave: It should ennoble, and not degrade. It is as honorable to make shoes or anchors as it is to paint pictures or write books. The shoemaker should learn the secret through his work of finding the sandals of manhood for his own feet. The blacksmith should learn, through the making of anchors for his great ships, to find the anchor that is to hold his own soul to the truth amid the storms of life—Rev. J. W. Lee, D. D. Where the "Good 'Uns" Are. An American actor was once seeing London from the top of a 'bus. As they swung down the Strand he asked the driver to point out the places of interest. "Right you are, sr!!" agreed the driver, touching his hat. "There's Luggit 'ill, where they 'ang 'em." A little later: "There's Parliament 'ouses, where they' make the laws wot does it, across the way. An' there's Westminster Habby, where they burried the good uns wot didn't get 'angled!" Has Found River's Sources. Dr. Sven Hedin, the Swedish explorer, states that he has discovered the true sources of the Brahmaputra and Indus. The Brahmaputra, he says, is the Kubitsampso, which rises from an enormous glacier on the northern side of the northern-most parallel range of the Himalayas. The Mariumchu, which has hitherto been regarded as the source, is merely a small tributary flowing in from the west. Mahomet's Dove. Some of the older historians tell us that Mahomet had a dove which he used to feed with wheat out of his ear. When the dove was hungry it used to alight on the prophet's shoulder and thrust its bill into his ear to find its meal. Mahomet, it is said, thus led the Arabs to believe that the bird was a messenger from God with inspired truths for him. The Bad Fellows. As bad as the man who parts with you with a "S'Long," twice as bad as the geek who shakes your hand and says, "Bye-bye, old man, don't take any wooden money," is the Bromide who greets you with a hand like a ham, and gleefully ejaculates "Howdy do; looks like the good old summer time, huh?" -Buffalo News.

Ceylon the Only Part of the World Where They Exist. 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 froy—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 abattoirs. 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 celestial. 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 owed. But he cannot. He has been bro ghd up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of dildoe holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakls, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mille o his lips.—London Observer. Hanging Pictures Dangerous. "Railroad casualties receive such wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common billed 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, v. 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 1,000,900 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 2½ d. per cubic foot, this works put 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 historian. 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 these 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 in which he looks atrociously bad; a woman's 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 Aim of These Places to Eend Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bower as I approached them looked no 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 evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were lot 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 the muddy streets for an hour. "Where kin a seller gift 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 Bowyer Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said tue officer as he turned his back on me. So I slouched along to 55 Bowyer, where a sign in the window, reading, "Bowyer Mission—Services Every Evening," indicated that I had found the right place. I looked 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 in 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. SELLS HIS BLOOD AT BARGAIN RATE Man Charges $10 to Give Up 15 Ounces of Life Fluid to Save Boy's Life. 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 Bellvue 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 ounce. 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." St. Petersburg.—A "trade paper" for burglaries is now published in St. Petersburg. It is called the "Bostalska Gazette," or the "Barefooted Gazette"—the title being apparently an illusion to the stealthy ways of its readers. The paper contains full reports of the latest thefts and burglaries, articles by experts on the art of burgury and what to avoid in pursuing it, and columns of advice and hints to help the beginner. Naturally the paper is published in strict secrecy, but the police will sooner or later discover its printing office and suppress it. Parla Abates a Nuisance The Paris prefect of police has decided that in future no more licenses to play barrel organs in that city will be granted.

It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions tf 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 candle. 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 frail 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. --- ayed here in Washington by the Negroes draw salaries aggregating the millions of dollars are spent right among the hundreds of tradesmenidding for?

The Bee, the newspaper that goesington. Remember, merchants of pays you, not what it costs. 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. Worlds Population. The population of the world is now estimated to be about 1,503,000,000. Of this number 150,000,000 are black, 600,000,000 yellow and 755,000,000 white. Mme. Davis. THE MONSTER BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND CARD READER TELLS ABOUT BUSINESS. 1228 25th St. N.W., Washington, D. C.

A High License 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, it were 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 malden 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-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 like are the mall 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 mall service.—St. Nicholas. Names that Don't Names. 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 polsonous 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 loafing 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 salify the odor as a woman sniffs 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 $35,000,000, 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 then has never opened his eyes. He breathes regularly and swallows his food mechanically, but is insensible to the neverest 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 noticeable in curtains that 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.

' Loulsville, Ky.—There has not Deen, It Is said, a crime of mob vio- ence 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 eccasfonal lynching of a negro By a mob, that hes not been should- ‘red on the Night Riders. Tho Night Riders were an organ- fzeq body back in 1800, when the Riate Legisiature passed o law do- fag away with private owhership of Sate roads. For months the turn- Eg ccrporations refused to obey be siate laws. They eppealed: 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 rucutug thelr toll gates and charging two cents a mile tec every horee er vehicle that passed ever their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became im- passible. The owners of the turn- pikes would mot expend ene cent for tmprovements 28 long es there wae question of their losing their peopecty by a final court decision, but they did not coase to mulct tray- elers, All this while they refused te accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were erganised. The organization spread from Bhelby County to every part ef the Btate, and one night in the late fall men rode from thelr Romes arid Degan burning toll gates. ‘There is no record of a toll gxte keeper being Injured unless he show- ed resistance. Then he was taken frem the house, and if he continued te be defiant he was flogged. 4 In ninety-aine cases out ef a hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up bis job and let the gate bura. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. ‘There was not 2 toll gate left stand- jing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpey- ers and farmers been contented to low the law to take {ts never end- Mig course the chances are that toll tes would still be holding up trax vellers on the State roads to-day, anc that the rosds would have been wore 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 {ut- erest, and the State tax has improv- ed them and even made It possible for almost all of them to be sprin- Kled with ofl 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 char acter when’ the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Com- pany. But out of this last organiza- tion there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang tp, 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 diin’t own so much a8 horse to ride. If a Ust of the orlginal body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured In the operations ef the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and If this list were sifted down it would show that many prop- “erty-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because .of their bellef that action was thelr enly safeguard against ruin; and that a deflance of law had to be met by a like defiance.

Nothing in the navigation equipment of a ship has been the subject of more anxious scientific research or receives more jealous care than the mariner's compass. The popular notion of the compass needle always pointing north and south is—well, more inaccurate than even popular notions usually are. No more unfavorable position could be found for a compass than on board of a modern steamship, which is a complicated mass of steel, all tending to draw the compass needle from its allegiance to the magnetic pole of the earth, warring influences which must needs be counteracted by all sorts of devices which hedge round the instrument by an invisible wall of conflicting currents of magnetism. And as if this were not enough, there are now huge dyamos to be reckoned with, producing electric currents for all sorts of purposes on board. In the midst of these mystic currents the poor little compass needle, upon which the mariner depends, for his guide across the trackless deep, hangs suspended like one shrinking saint surrounded by legions of devils.—Windsor Magazine. The Speed of Steamships. The immense advances recently made in the power and speed of transatlantic steamships have not yet, in the opinion of Mr. J. J. O'Nell, a Scotch engineer, been carried to the limit. Addressing the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland, Mr. O'Nell said that the lengths of the present liners warrant the belief that greater power can be obtained with the same dimensions, the present speeds with shorter lengths. Investigation shows that the variations of form involve relatively small gains, and Mr. O'Nell thinks that if the same attention had been devoted to the development of of the screw propeller that has been given to the form of vessels greater advantages would have been secured. — Youth's Companion. A Club for Dandy Dogs There has just been opened in one of London's fashionable streets a toilet club for dogs. Here the pets of the smart set can have their hair dressed and their coats trimmed to immaculate perfection. For three shillings they can be bathed. If their teeth are imperfect they can be at opped or extracted, and if their claws protrude too far they can be dalntily manicured. Thus groomed according to the Mayfair mode, their coats put on, and their goggles attached, these exquisite creatures are taken for their afternoon ride.—London Tit-Bits. Long Terma in Supreme Court Few members of the Supreme Court have exceeded the time Justice Harlan has served—thirty years. Justice Field served about thirty-five years, Chief Justice Marshall about thirty-four and a half years. Justice Bushford Washington, thirty-one years, and Justice John McLean, thirty-two years. Wise Horses. A writer in the London Daily News, giving some experience during dense fogs, says he was once in a 'bus which stopped suddenly on Waterloo Bridge in a fog. The driver urged the horses to move, but they would not, and when the conductor went to investigate, he found them looking over the parapet. Silence the Healer. The value of silence as a factor in dealing cannot be over estimated, and, apart from consideration of health, it is a well-known truism that the one who talks the least usually accomplishes the most. Health Record. Automatic Cornet. The increasing popularity of the self-playing piano has induced inventors to extend this style of music to other instruments. The most recent is an automatic sheet music cornet, patented by a Chicago man. Like the piano, the music is on a perforated roll. An Ancient 'Industry The industry of flint-making still thrives in Brandon, England. The flints are sent to Africa and other countries where the guns of 100 years ago are still in active service.
