THE BEE WASHINGTON 84728 OUR AMERICAN MINISTER TO HAYTH Dr. Henty W. Furniss, American Minister to Haryt, was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1868. When quite young, his parents moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, which has since been his residence. He is a graudate of Indianapolis schools, Howard University, Washington, District of Columbia, in Medicine and Pharmacy, and has taken post graduate courses in medicine at Harvard and the New York Post Graduate School of Medicine. He served a term as interne in the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington District of Columbia. 806-60 He is an honorary member of the Marion County and Indiana Medical Societies; is a member of the American Medical Society; American Microsurgical Society; American Society of Public Health and Hygiene; and American Society of International Law. He is a 33rd degree Mason and a member of the Odd Fellows. along member of the Oud Peninsula. Dr. Furniss was appointed American consul to Bahia, Brazil, in 1868 and served with such distinction that he was rewarded by being promoted by President Roosevelt to his present position. During the time he has been in Haiti he has been confronted with many complicated diplomatic problems which he has solved to the satisfaction of the Department of State. A point in instance is the able way in which he safeguarded American interests during the revolution of a few months ago and by maintaining strict neutrality prevented internal complication. sidle countries has travelled extensively, having gone over the greater part of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentine Republic and Chili. He has also toured extensively throughout northern Europe. He has been from town to town on horseback over practically all of Hayti, thereby thoroughly familiarizing himself with existing conditions of the different sections and becoming acquainted with the prominent men throughout that Republic. Other than being a diplomat and a doctor of medicine, he takes considerable interest in various branches of science, more particularly microscopy, geology and botany, to which he devotes a considerable part of his leisure time. Photography has been his hobby for a number of year and he has a very large collection of interesting photographs which he has taken during his travels. His private collection of Haitian scenes is particularly valuable. Minister Furniss was in Washington several days last week, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. West. He sails for his post on the roth instant. Mr. Moore: We assemble in love frast tonight to perpetuate the memory of he Personal Liberty League. Human bondage is a violation of hu- MR. L. C. MOORE. an and Divine rights; a curse, a sgrace to society, and a stumbling rock to the progress of a Christian nation. God in his omnipotent time card the petitions of an humble people caused a disunion, state against state; father against son, brother against brother, enveloped in dry wdder and hot shot. It became acessity for one side or the other to unlock the door of bondage, and over seven million human souls came out showing, dancing and clapping their hands for joy. It required an amendment to the American Constitution to make these slaves full fledged citizens enjoying the rights and privileges accorded to all Americans: but only a few years after the restoration of peace, we see our once benevolent and best friends boxing up the amendments and slowing marching to an unholy graveyard. If Congress is not able, and if the President's arms are too short to blockade the unrighteous procession and stop the funeral, we the new born citizens of America do request that a settlement be made and the Congress, of the United States, pay the ex-slave holder, or the lawful heirs, the sum of five hundred dollars for each and every slave set free. We also request that Congress pay the ex-slaves, or their lawful heirs, the sum of five hundred dollars and a free transportation to any country outside of the boundary lines of Jim Crowism.

With peace on earth, good will among PROFESSOR KELLY MILLER DELIVERS LECTURE From the Chicago Conservator The Masses and Classes Turn Out to do honor to the Noter Scholar. He was Highly Entertained. Professor Kelly Miller, Washington. District of Columbia, Professor of Mathematics and Dean of the Literary branches of Howard University after having been heralded far and near by press and pulpit, came to Chicago, saw and conquered. The most progressive people of his race greeted him very cordially and entertained him in a manner fitting to his high station in life. The distinguished scholar made a most favorable impression upon all who heard him at his lecture on "Race Loyalty" at the Institutional Church. June 11. He easily sustained his reputation as a thinker. The Institutional Church, one of the largest auditoriums in the city was moderately filled and considering the kind and quality of the audience it was enough to inspire the most eminent visitor. The leading lawyers and doctors and quite a number of our eminent ministers were present: Honorable S. Laing Williams was master of ceremonies and Bishop C. T. Shaffer offered prayer. The lecture was promoted by the Douglas Centre. The Banquet The banquet and smoker complimentary to Professor Miller Saturday night, by a number of Chicago's professional and business men was an occasion that delighted the distinguisher scholar. Rogers and Cary's restaurant, 351 East 33rd Street, was the scene of this gathering of our notables assembled to do honor to this famous man of letters. The proprietors in furnishing the delectable menu set a hot pace for the caterers of Chicago. Dr. George C. Hall was toastmaster. There were no set speeches, but the sentiments were brilliant and witty. Pleasure and good-fellowship;—the only kind apparent when "good fellows get together was evidenced throughout the evening." Those who attended the banquet were:—S. Laing Williams; Assistant United States Attorney: F. L. Barnett, Assistant United States Attorney; Attorneys B. F. Ioseley, J. G. Lucas; White; W. M. Farmer. The physicians present were:—J. W. McDowell, Spencer Dickinson, M. A. Majors, H. Reginald Smith. The others present were:—W. D. Neighbors, Lawrence Ferribee, Jos. Webb, Flavious Wispertal, Mr. Buckner, Thomas Wallace Swann, advertising manager of the Conservator, J. H. Garnett, Mr. A. F. Perry of Evanston, Noah D. Thompson, J. C. Puckner, W. R. Sobers.

From the rendering of the difficult pieces, it showed the Sisters of the academy had spent untiring efforts in the training of the children. Mrs. L. N. Matthews, one of the assistant instructors of music there, labored hard also to make the musical part of the program a success. Trial Board Took a Different View After being acquitted in the Police Court of assaulting a teacher and the janitor in the Lanston School, C. C. --- Coomb, before the trial board was fined $50.00 and warned against a repitition of the offense. It will be remembered that this is the case in which a white officer ran amuck in the above school early in May. Owing to the fact that there was a man on the scene able to cope with the situation, this man, (police-man, as was later discovered) nearly caused a panic in the school. This officer, dressed in citizen attire, was avenging himself for his hat having blown off his head by kicking it up and down the street. Some small boys, pupils in the above school being so unfortunate as to see the humor of the situation were also so disrespectful and thoughtless as to laugh. This so enraged the "Knight of the Pigskin," that he immediately abandoned his drop-kicking to secure as a football one of his riders. The one selected ran in the school hall, where a rehearsal for a concert was in progress. The boy was caught and was being mauled by his captor, when Mr. L. H. Bradley, a teacher in the school, pulled the man off the boy. The officer then gave most of his time and attention to the boy's savior, in a hand to hand encounter, from which Mr. Bradley emerged unscathed, whereas Mr. Coombs had lieen forcibly invited to leave the building and remained in the boys' yard under Mr. Bradley's arrest, until the patrol could be called. It was not until the station was reached that even the officer who escorted this disturber of the peace, knew his prisoner was a fellow officer. The upshot of the whole affair being the dismissal of both charges preferred against the officer. Later the case was carried before the Trial Board, with the charges of intoxication, conduct unbecoming an officer, etc. This time the prosecution was handled almost entirely by the teacher's personal representative. Realizing the import of a conviction, they even went further than was demanded of them by paying out of their own pockets for the services which the government was supposed to furnish. After a masterful handling of the case by Lawyer J. E. Collins, the above mentioned fine, and reprimand were handed Officer Coombs. It may be that this and the Pelham case will act as a determent to these officers who are self constituted judges, juries and administers of their big clubs. Much credit should be given Miss E. D. Barrie, and her excellent corps of teachers who so enthusiastically rallied to her support with their intelligence on the witness stand and to the material support by their voluntary contributinos to assist in paying the attorney's fee. Mr. Bradley's part in the whole matter is highly commendatory. His assistance to the principal throughout, has been such that it is doubtful if the case would have been pushed to a satisfactory close, had it not been for his aid. That the Board of Education will be doing itself proud by moving upward a man of Mr. Bradley's worth and ability is a settled fact. year PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. Dr. Furniss, the American Minister to Hayti, has made a record. Dr. Charles I. West is classed among the most eminent surgeons in this city. President Taft will uphold the Constitution. The Woodill tradegy at St. Michael, Maryland, has startled the country. Rev.W. Bishop Johnson delivered a fine address in Boston, Massachusetts, last week. The attack on the colored people's schools is without warrant, says the citizen. Dr. Samuel M. Pierre won his suit in the Equity as well as in the Juvenile Court. Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, will make a reduction in his force. There will be a few changes in the colored schools this year. There are several candidates for the judgeship in the municipal court The Senate holds up the nomination of D.E.B. Perrin, of the northern district of California. President Fait will make an appointment of a new District Commissioner after the adjournment of Congress. Dr. Simon P. Drew will celebrate the 4th of July at Madras Park. It is reported that Leon, the murderer of Miss Siegel is slain. Telephone office in Chicago was bwn up by strikers. The horse of Rev. W. Bishop Johnson was accidentally killed a few weeks ago. Eastman was buried near the seat of crime. There was only one to mourn his death. The report is there is to be a revolution in the public schools. There will be no changes among the Negro office holders at present. The latest sensation is an attempt being made to industrialize the Negro schools. There is a seditious movement against Howard University. There is a movement on foot to organize a new Negro Business League. Its object is to solicit men who are really in business. Honorable J. B. Devaux, Collector of the Port of Savannah, Georgia: who died recently was one of the leading men in the state. All applicants for office are requested to file their applications on or before July 15th as the number of vacancies are limited. t The Board of Trade has a candidate for Judge of the Police Court. It is rumored that it is Assistant Corporation Counsel Sinclair. POLICEMAN COOMBS FINED Trial Board Imposes $50 Penalty for Policeman C. C. Coombs, of the Fifth precinct, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $50 by the police trial board, on the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer. The charges were preferred by Miss Ella D. Barrner, principal of the Langston Public School, in P street, who testified that the policeman, in passing the school building some days ago, and while in an intoxicated condition, assaulted one of the pupils who laughed at his condition. According to Miss Barrier the policeman chased the pupil into the building and would have injured him had not Mr. Lawrence Bradley, one of the teachers, and Janitor McKinley interfered. Coombs was warned against a repetition of the offense. Gets His Child DR. S. M. PIERCE WINS Dr. Samuel J. M. Pierce, one of the most prominent physicians in this city, swore out a writ of habeas corpus this week against his wife for the custody of his boy child, Samuel M. Pierce, Jr. Mrs. Pierce left her home, 2124 L. street, northwest, and took with her the boy and girl and went to the home of her brother-in-law, Mr. Walter J. Singleton, where her mother is also stopping. On the return of Dr. Pierce to his home last week, after having finished making his professional calls, he found that his wife had taken the two children and gone to her mother. It will be remembered that this is the fourth time the court has turned the boy over to his father. The case came up before Chief Justice Clay-baugh last Tuesday. It was shown by Dr. Pierce's attorneys, Messrs. T. L. Jones and M. T. Clinkscales, that Mrs. Pierce left her home without cause or provocation; that Dr. Pierce has always been a good and kind husband to his wife and that the law sustains Dr. Pierce in his contention that he has a right to the custody of his childl. After an argument by counsel, Judge Claybaugh gave Dr. Pierce the custody of the boy with the privilege of allowing the boy to visit the mother once a week. Having become dissatisfied with the decision of the court, Mrs. Pierce went to the Juvenile Court and swore until a warrant against her husband, charging him with non-support of herself and two children. The case was heard in the Juvenile Court on Thursday afternoon: Attorney Jones who represented Dr. Pierce, stated to the court that Mrs. Pierce was employed in the Beureau of Engraving and Printing, drawing a good salary, and furthermore Dr. Pierce has been given the custody of his child three times by the upper court and as the case was pending in the upper courts and as Dr. Pierce has decided to file a bill for divorce, he would ask for the immediate dismissal of the charge against him. Judge De Lacy took that view of the case and promptly discharged, Dr. Pierce. . IS IT SEDITION? It is reported upon very good authority that the students of Howard University were asked to rebel against Dr. Thirkield, the Presidetn of the University. A similar movement was inaugurated against Dr. Patton some few years ago, which resulted in his removal. The present movement, it is said, is being instigated by one of the professors in the institution, who is inimical to the president. It is claimed by many in the institution that there is an autocratic and one man rule in the University; that the colored trustees are nothing more than figureheads and do not enter their disapproval against the action of the president. The charge is, there is a tendency to place white men and women over colored teachers and professors. Many of the colored students have stated to their friends who the professor is that wants them to rebel against the president. Many of them have been advised to take no stock in the movement, and it is believed that they will follow the advice given. PHIL WATERS ON SICK LIST Phil Waters, who holds a responsible position in the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court of Appeals, is laid up with typhoid fever at his home on the West Side. Phil is unusually liked by the court, the clerk, the lawyer and all who have business in the high tribunal, all of whom hope to hear of his early and complete recovery. ATTORNEY W. L.

Boer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots On the African Veldt. Three lions were killed near Pietersburg. Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Boer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kafr Roy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the lions lying around one of the donkeys. He fired and killed a big lioness. The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) lioness. The young lion which was left ran behind some brushwood. Erasmus first collected his donkeys and brought them into safety and then once more carefully approached the scene of the fight. In order to find out if the two lionesses were dead he fired another shot at one of them. This disturbed the surviving lion who thereupon came forth roaring. Erasmus was again ready and shot him dead on the spot. Asked by the Volkstem correspondent whetaer he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom," I had my little Kafr boy, with me."—The skins were sold in Pietersburg—Pretoria Volksstem. Poisonous Brazilian Viper Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know reptiles," brought from Brazil to New York for the purpose of an operation which will give a serum that is practically extinct. There are several singularly interesting snakes in Brazil. The suru 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 losenges on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The fiercest of the lance-headed vipera is the Jamaica, and it, also, it a dirty yellow, but it is brown-black about the tail.—Boston Herald. Birch, Eru? Read Leaves Birds, Fruit, Dead Leaves.

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 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 Belics.

How the Smooth Demonstrator Gets His Victim's Coin. "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. 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 acused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharper $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall o. an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the lorried expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solenity. 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 North America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the sapybara, a cary "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge coypu rat 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 stock with a preference for the desolate lagoons, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prosecution. -Scotsman. The Glagko Trec. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the ginkgo or maldehair 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 ginkgo, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oolite series, at Bhorra, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the coils reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Plaitor Skirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is to **solen 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 leaf can readily be determined, and the pressing dene 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 saxton 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 yield a strange grist of forgotten or discarded 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 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. Until Teothicks.

Odessn.—Peter Kavulitch, an Austrian mason, went mad here as the result of brooding over being forced to wall up the daughter of the chieftain of a Tartar tribe in the Caucasus in a living tomb. He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken blind folded into the mountains, compelled to build the wall around the girl and then was turned loose outside Paku. 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 cloped 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 unbeeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to follow it with a wall two feet thick. him's beed, and a small opening was made for air, so that her suffi- tures might be prolonged. As soon as his work was finished Kavul- itch was blin-folded again. He was at liberty with 100 roubles in his ket. He came to Odessa and went mad in the street. He was taken to a hospital in a straitjacket. A LOAP OF BREAD PUT IN TWO COPTINS. Half Burked with Wife, Husband's Grave Now Contains Other Part. 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 Ludcubach, Germany. They purchased a farm in what is now Flatlush, 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. Road 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. Rarely Seen in New York But Plenitiful in Philadelphia.

To the King of Portugal belongs the Star of the South, valued at £3,000,000; while in the Russian receptre 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 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 wailing sound, are fixed to the tall feathers of the dispatch-bearing pigeons of the German army, For the Kneecker.

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 filaments 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 jeal and half in earnest, but I will gladly perform the ceremony for any unfortunate couple that might have sinned, free of cost, if they apply to me and give evidence of good faith. It is a pititable sight in a large city to see a young girl carrying a habe 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 aid 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 suapleion 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 droman 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 size of the guilty." ```markdown ``` 1 THE REE PUBLISHED Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D.

Incompetence and insubordination will be the principal causes for the coming changes in the schools. There will be a few teachers dropped from the rolls for causes stated above. There seems to be some drones in the schools who are too lazy to work. Particular attention will be given to the High School. The Bee is, and has been of the opinion that there should be a female principal in this school and that all the male teachers should be either removed or transferred. Many changes in this part of the public school system are needed, no doubt, if reports are true. There are hundreds of young girls who should have the care of female teachers. Miss Millie Gibbs would no doubt make a fine principal of that school. She is a strong woman and no doubt a good teacher. The Normal School under the direction of Miss Moton, is doing well. Great credit is due Miss Moten for the number of good teachers she is sending out every year. There are several hundred business places in this city conducted by Negro Americans. Many of them have no concentration of action and neither do they believe in connecting themselves with any institution that will benefit them. There is no reason why every business house conducted by colored Americans, should not be formed into one great business enterprise. The Negro business man that wants to succeed should be able to sell his goods, as cheaply as his white competitor. The Negro should not condemn his Negro neighbor because he patronizes the white merchants. He may have a reason for so doing and that reason may be of a financial nature. There are some colored orators, preachers, and agitators who advise their brothers and sisters to patronize the Negro because he is a Negro. Suppose the wholesale or retail merchant says that he will not sell the Negro consumer anything, or the Negro merchant; what becomes of his business? The Negro must be able to stand upon his own bottom and when he can produce as well as consume he will be a factor and not until them should he crow. DR FURNISS On the front page of The Bee is a sketch of our American minister to Haiti. It will be seen that this distinguished young man has made a record in the position to which he was appointed several years ago. Dr. Furniss is an honor to the diplomatic service and the Negroes of this country. There has been no man in the diplomatic service that has made the record he has since his appointment in the service. He is a born diplomat and from all reports the administration is thoroughly satisfied with him. He speaks in glowing terms of the present government of Haiti and he believes that its new president will do all in his power to advance the interest of his government and the people. The Bee congratulates Dr. Furniss and hopes that he will continue to add laurels to his record. He is in this city, the guest of that distinguished surgeon and physician, Dr. Charles I. West. TEACHERS PENSIONS What patriotic citizen will be the first to subscribe $100 for the benefit of the teachers' fund? There are dozens of worthy teachers in the public schools, who no doubt would gladly welcome the passage of a pension bill by Congress. Negro citizens take very little interest in the care of their teachers. This is where the Negro shows ingratitude. The teachers should receive the undivided support of the people. Every Negro should support and urge Congress to pass this pension bill. The teachers deserve it. There is one thing about the white teachers; they have an organization and it is well supported. The people rally to its support. Let every citizen rally to the support of our teachers. MR. ANDERSON'S SPEECH Much criticism has been indulged in by would-be-critics against the speech of Mr. Charles W. Anderson, that was delivered to the graduates of the colored schools a few days ago. Mr. Anderson made a practical talk and what he said was both interesting to the graduates as well as the parents. He complimented President Taft, it is true, and what of it? Any other person would have done the same thing. He said no more about Mr. Taft than ought to have been said. Mr. Anderson is a politician it is true, and if he took advantage of the occasion to assist himself, he was only compensating himself for services rendered. The President of the Board of Education has no favorites and if Mr. Anderson's address was too long, which caused Captain Oyster to comment. The Bee is confident that the captain meant no disrespect to Mr. Anderson. The President of the Board of Education speaks what he thinks always. HOWARD UNIVERSITY There is a growing sentiment against the management of certain departments in Howard University. It is stated on authority, apparently reliable, that there is an attempt to discriminate against colored Americans. Colored teachers stand little chance for appointment. The law school is on the downward road because the students are charged a tuition in violation of the stipulation of Congress. At any time this branch of Howard University may be abandoned. The institution, it is claimed, is not controlled by the Board of Trustees, but by one individual. The Bee would suggest that some action be taken at once to get rid of this autocratic ruler. The Negro who is interested in Howard University should act. IS IT A FACT? Mr. F. R. M. Murray, one of the Editors of the Horizon, has made an attack on the public schools of this city. He declares among other things "that Mr. Bruce, the assistant superintendent of the Negro schools is endeavoring to industrialize the schools. Is it a fact? How can Mr. Bruce change the educational system in our schools without the consent and co-operation of the Board of Education? Has Mr. Bruce attempted what Mr. Murray charges in his letter? If so, will the gentleman point them out? Will Mr. Murray point out these changes? SUICIDES kills him or herself, it is quite evident that he or she is a coward. A brave man will stand and fight, it out, no matter what the ailment is. It is to be regretted that a person should allow worry to overcome his better judgement so that it causes him to kill himself, unless he is crazy or temporarily insane. It is the weak or cowardly mind that gives way to self destruction. In some cities there are suicide clubs organized, but in the State of New York, if a person attempts self destruction he is tried and punished. To escape the punishment he must make a good job of himself at self destruction. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? It is surprising to the more fortunate people in this country why Negroes cannot and will not write. The Bee doesn't mean to write against any class of individuals, but to write to assist one another. to advance. Negroes seem to be divided. There is too much jealousy among them. The Negro. politicians, the quasistatesmen and other semi-dignitaries, seem to have their knives drawn for one another. President Taft looks on and gives a bland smile and says: "What fools these mortals be." DR. L:E. SHEPARD Durham, North Carolina, it is said, will have the greatest industrial school in the South. Dr. J. E. Shepard, no doubt, one of the most enterprising men in the South, is at the head of this new enterprise. He has made a new departure on the lines of industrial pursuits for the Negro, Dr. Shepard has been on extensive travels in the dark continent. He knows the needs of the Negro and there is no doubt of his success in this new propaganda. GALBRAITH Children's Day at Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, was celebrated last Sunday. Dr. Corrothers, the pastor, delivered a sermon in the morning on the "Influence of Mothers.' At 3 p. m., the Sunday school, under the direction of the Sunday school Superintendent, Miss S. J. Janefer, rendered an interesting program, after which Dr. W. S. Montgomery delivered an able address. At 8 p. m., Professor L. M. Hershaw and Honorable John C. Dancy, both spoke in highest terms of the work being done by Negro schools. On Sunday, July 4, at 11 a. m., Bishop Smith, the resident Bishop of Washington, will preach. Those failing to hear this sermon will miss a treat. Galbraith is one of the best known churches in this city. They are now working on a three thousand, dollar rally. The pastor is one of the best known in the Negro pulpit; a man of real courage, whose voice can be heard in the defense of his race at all times. The marriage of Miss Ethel Storm and Mr. Felix Weir, took place last Monday evening at the bride's residence. They left the city immediately after the wedding on their bridal four. Miss Nena J.

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS. In former times it was a common notion that, if a sick person, could only touch the hand of a suicide, he or she would be cured. This superstition was especially common in the west of England; in Cornwall, touching a suicide's hand was said to have once cured a young man who had been afflicted with many tumors from his birth. A similar superstition, regarding the touch of executed criminals has been widely prevalent and has often been recorded. Robert Hunt, in his "Romances of the West o. England," says that he once saw a young woman led to the scaffold at Newgate to have a wen touched by the hand of a man who had just been executed. At Northampton of old the hangman is said to have had a regular fee for according a similar "privilege" to the sufferers from like disorders. Even the coffin of a suicide may have curative value. There is a Devonshire belief to the effect that, if any one suffering from disease can manage to throw a white handkerchief on such a coffin at the time of its interment, the disease will vanish as the handkerchief decays. Much superstitious value has been attached to the knots of the ropes used either by a suicide or in the execution of a criminal. Clean Your Glasses. You who wear spectacles must understand that you cannot see to advantage through greasy lenses. The common habit is to wipe eye-glasses or spectacles with a silk handkerchief carried in the pocket. The finger tips always exude a delicate oil. This gets on the handkerchief and from the handkerchief goes on to the lenses. Presently there is a smear of grease and people complain of dimness of vision. Drop the handkerchief; get some very fine tissue paper cut into small sections, wipe your glasses with two or three pieces and throw them away. Shoddy. Shoddy! The word stands for everything that is mean and contemptible, false, and make-believe. Yet the product known in the world of business as shoddy is one of the most useful inventions of the nineteenth century, and deserves to rank with steam and electricity, anesthetics, the bicycle and other discoveries that have made life worth living, improved our health and lengthened our days.—World's Work. Newspapers In The U. S. In 1810, nearly a century ago, there were 351 newspaper in the United States. In 1905 there were 26,422 printing and publishing houses in the country. These represented $385,008,604 of invested capital and turned out products valued at $496,061,137. The growth for the five years since 1900 doubled the growth of the ten years previous. Right Handed Men According to authorities from 85 to 95 per cent of the men in civilized lands are right-handed and have developed the low right shoulder. This, however, is no new phenomenon, for even the ancient Greek sculptors had noticed it and posed their subjects so as to make them appear more symmetrical Peat as Fuel. There is a strong organization at work in this country developing the use of peat as fuel. It is now utilizing many acres of swamp lands which are being reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The bi-products of the industry are very promising.

SOUTH AMERICAN INVIGORANT How Coca Is Cultivated—Used as Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue. Coca is the South American invigorant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under favorable conditions to a height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Bolivia. At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in beds, when they germinate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about a foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish, small and thick. This is the kind of leaf that is preferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and preventive of sleep and fatigue in the performance of arduous work, inasmuch as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when working in mines that contain much water. Indians who masticate the leaves of this plant can work twenty-four hours without eating or sleeping. Coca leaves are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatiguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia, either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years. Run By the Tide of the Elbe A 14,000-horse power plant operated by tidal energy is to be established on the south bank of the Elbe, near Cuxhaven. This is by far the most ambitious project of this character which has ever been contemplated. Electrical energy is to be delivered to the town named for various commercial purposes, but the greater part of the product of this great power plant is to be made use of by factories which are to be established in the vicinity. Hamburg capital is mostly interested in the scheme. Weekly Holiday Enforced Weekly Holiday Enforced. In New Zealand everybody is bound by law to take a weekly half-holiday, and there must be no shirking the obligation. The Grand hotel, Auckland, was recently crowded with guests, and several walters, instead of obeying the law and taking their prescribed weekly half-holiday, remained at work on the promise of extra pay. But the authorities came to hear of it and the proprietor of the hotel had to appear in court, where he was convicted and punished. Japanese and Their Prisoners Japanese and their prisoners. The Japanese have a rather kindly way of treating prisoners who have not been convicted. The regulation prison dress is a kind of strawberry-red-colored kimono, but many wear light blue, as a sign that although under suspicion, they have not yet been found guilty. When prisoners in this class have occasion to pass through the public streets curious extinguisher-like baskets are placed upon their heads. Emeralds. At the present day most of the emeralds that come into the market are obtained from the famous mines of Muzo, in the Columbian province of Bayaca. These workings are situated on the eastern slope of the Andes, about 70 miles to the northwest of the town of Santa Fe de Bogota. There is another mine, called Lasquez, two days' journey by muleback from Muzo. Worries of Modern Life. Nowadays we must not drink spirits nor eat meat; we must not smoke; the air of cities is poisonous, the air of country too strong the light ruins our eyes and the nose racks our nerves; shaking hands is a means of collecting microbes and kissing is pure suicide. Life is indeed growing dull and difficult Madrid Dilaro. French Illiteracy. Although France has had compulsory education for about 25 years, the percentage of illiterates reaches the high figure of 40 per 1,000 men, and 60 per 1,000 women. In this regard Germany appears to great advantage, as she has only four illiterates per 1,000 of population. Art of Eating.

Man Who Was Once a Walter Considers Other's Standpoint. "Somehow I don't approve these wholesale kicks on the tipping system," said a business man who is fairly prosperous. "I was a walter myself once and know how it seems from the other side. "Oh, no, I wasn't a regular professional, merely one of the college brand. Many college men, of course, help themselves through college by working as waiters and bellboys and boatmen and other things at summer resorts, and if they are squeamish about taking tips, why, it isn't worth while taking such jobs. "It came hard at first to take tips; gave me a sort of a feeling that I was unclassing myself. But it wore off. In fact there was a certain amount of satisfaction, after a while, in getting a tip that had been earned by giving more careful service than the job really demanded. I remember now the pleasure it gave me to receive a gratuity, and the "thank you" was always meant. "So now when life lies in less arduous places I find pleasure in giving a tip. I do not regard it as an overcharge or an extortion, merely a little reward that I can well afford to give to one who will appreciate it. "If more persons would only look on that side of the question, the pleasure that a gratuity gives the recipient, I am sure there would be less kicking. Surely there is joy in kindness, at least I have found it so." Poor Material For British Army. Fool Material For British Army. If there be any doubt that physical deterioration in the submerged classes is more serious than it used to be the report of the Army Medical Department pins one down between that opinion and the conclusion that the army is recruited from a lower social stratum. "Average British recruits," the report states, "are not only the youngest but in the poorest physical condition of those in any civilized army. They cannot stand work which did not injure well fed conscripts of twenty years of age; still less can they face exercises which would do harm to robust men." They are in fact from want of food and from cigarette habit such miserable specimens of humanity that it takes two years to make men of them. The report confirms what we said the other day, to the effect that a British army is painfully produced from the army of the British unemployed; as many as 95 per cent. of accepted recruits are hopeless "out of works." There is a good deal amiss with the conditions that make these degenerates and the report gives one to think furiously; but the larger question raised by it is whether any amount of training and selection can produce an efficient army out of such material. Doomsday Book. A book of the general survey of England, commenced in the reign of William I. (the Conqueror), about 1080, some say about 1086.

The Philosophy of Folly "They say," observes the Philosopher of Folly, "that it takes nine tailors to make a man. I always acknowledge the truth of this old proverb when one of these dudes boasts 'that he has patronized the same tailor all his life.'" Simply Impossible. Big with the importance of a new discovery, a London preacher says. "Never check the flowing tide of woman's talk." We never heard of anybody who ever did. The Philosopher of Folly The Philosopher of Folly. "I wonder why it is," muses the Philosopher of Folly, "that when a fireproof building catches fire, they ways send in three alarms." HOTEL MACEO.

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 tus- kera! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part’ of the world where the malo elepbaats bave no tusks; they have miserable little srubbers projecting two or three inches from the upper jaw and in- clning downward. Nothing produces elther Ivory or horn in fine specimens througout Ceylon. Although some of the but- taloes have-tolerably ‘ine heads, they will not bear comparison with those of other conntrles. The horns of the native cattle are not above four {nches tn length.» The elk and the spotted deers ant- lers are small compared with deer of thelr size In India. This is more tingular, as-it {s evident ftom the geological formaton that at some re- mote period Ceylon was not an {s- tand, but formed a portion of the main Jand.

COMPAMES DISGBEYED 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 paid, 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 turnpike 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 ret a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll gates 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 impassible. The owners of the turnpikes 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 travellers. 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 organized. 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 flogged. In ninety-nine cares out of a hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up his job and for 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 stop the law to take its never endured course the chances are that toll gate would still be holding up travelers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Knights roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not many of dollars of water stock which to pay interest and the has improved the land it possible for all of them to be sprinkled with of the summer dust.

If a list of the original body of Night Lovers could be had the chances are that the names of many men who suffered in the operations of the old Nu-Klux gang would be found and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property owners and men of promiscuity had resorted to violence because of the belief that action was their on' of guard against ruin, and that a defence of law had to be met by a life defence. Psyche Knot Life Saga Altoone, Ia.—Having washed and drilled her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-one, did it up in a Payche knot and walked out on the front porch. When she leaned against the rolling it to way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the silenalk, alighting on her head. The colfure broke the impact of her head against the flagstones, but she did not entirely escape injury. She suffered a slight concussion of the brain, but recovered consciousness a few hours later. Old Age Common in Rochefort. Paris, France.—Rochefort seems to be a great town for longevity.

Two of these were centenarians, one reaching the age of 107, and the other dying at 104. 2 GREAT OFFERs This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, if I could only find 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 byman 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 thirty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and begun 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 gone," 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 Oroville and Brewster in Okanogan County, Wash. connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse power cars, 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 Marous and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokakane, 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 & RABBIT PLAGUE Bold Cottontails Destroy Crops on California Ranches San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce 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 Oceohannock 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 Marais, Gustav Herbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Cairns, of Grand Marais, 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 THE MARINER'S COMPASS Influences That Draw it From Its Allegiance to the Magnetic Pole. Nothing in the navigation equipment of a ship has been the subject of more anxious scientific research or receives more fealous care than the mariner's compass. The popular notion of the compass needle always pointing north and south is—well, more accurate than even popular notionally 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 st opped or extracted, and if their claws protrude too far they can be daintly 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 healing cannot be over estimated, and, apart from consideration of health, it is a well-known trulism 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 Progressive Chinese The Chinese are getting interested in the method of raising water by means of windmills for irrigating purposes.
