CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE TO BE HELD AT LOUISVILLE, KY.-AUG. 18, 19 and 20, 1999 Fine Programme—Side Trip to the Mammoth Cave The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Louisville, in "old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18. 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this League has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the League's constantly increasing membership. The League welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise, and only a nominal charge of $2.00 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2.00 also procures for each delegate a Lodge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admisssion and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the Local Committee for the Benefit of delegates. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a fare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for—all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the League and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the State of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that State since the emancipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia: printed copies will soon be available. Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville City Council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles, from Louisville.) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world. FRATERNAL VISIT TO THE G. U. O. of O. F. at UPPER MARLBORO, MARYLAND Sunday last Past D. B. Master, W. C. Martin, District Grand Master of District Grand Lodge No. 20, District of Columbia, and P. N. F. Joseph Queen, of Bloom of Youth Lodge, No. 1368, D. C., made a fraternal visit to the members of the Forrestville Lodge No. 2835. of Forrestville, and the Upper Marlboro Lodge No. 6725, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. On their arrival at Upper Marlboro they went to the residence of Mr. Edward Clarke, where they were entertained by him and Messrs. W. S. Swann, William Curtis of Lodge No. 6725, and J. H. Dockett of Forrestville Lodge No. 2835. After enjoying the splendid dinner prepared and served by the good wife of Mr. Clarke and his interesting daughters, at 2:30 p.m. the visiting brethren were escorted to the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Boothe, pastor, where a large number of fratres had assembled to meet and greet them. The meeting which followed was an informal one, and at the special request of Mr. Thomas Young, Grand Master presided. After singing and prayer and several short addresses by members of the local lodges welcoming the visiting brethren, and an appropriate response by Grand Master Coleman, the latter introduced Past D. G. M. W. C. Martin, who delivered the principal address, in which he explained the law and principles which governs the Order. At the conclusion of the Master's address, short addresses were made by a number of fraters, all of whom declared that the fraternal visit and meeting had not only been instructive and interesting but that the results would prove of lasting benefit to the members of the local lodges. Among the members of the Order present were—Messrs. Edward Clark, W. S. Swann, William Curtis, George W. Hampton, Paul Hamilton, R. C. Colbert, James Holland, George Cole, John Pinkney, William Spriggs, J. W. Ford, Samuel Burley, Philip Burley, Thomas Young, W. H. Tolson, William Wilson, Lorenzo Young, of Upper Marlboro Lodge No. 6725, and Messrs. J. H. Duckett, Pinkney Belt, Charles Lewis and C. B. Morse, of the Forrestville Lodge No. 2835. A unanimous vote of thanks was extended the visiting brothers for their wholesome instructions in the laws and principles of the Order. Mrs. W. C. Robinson, accompanied by her two sons, Joe and Burnett, have gone to Herdon, Virginia, to spend ten days. "GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE THE POLLS Annapolis, Md.. July 12.—The Democrats won a clear-cut victory in the municipal election held here today, electing a mayor, counselor, and six aldermen, two from each of the three wards. The following will compose the new city corporation as the result of the election: Mayor—James F. Strange. Counselor—Ridgely P. Melvin( incumbent.) Aldermen—First Ward, Elmer E. Parkinson and Thomas H. Linthicum( incumbent.) Second ward, Dr. Frank H. Thompson (incumbent), and J. Henry Zeller. Third ward, Richard G. Chaney and Charles E. Myers. Mayor-elect Strange carried the city by a majority of 370 over Samuel Jones, Republican, the largest by which any mayor of Annapolis was ever elected. Counsel Melvin obtained an even greater majority than this over Frank H. Stockett. But the most notable result of the election was that it clearly demonstrated the havoc wrought among the Republican vote by the recent new registration law applicable to the city, and by which the great proportion of the Negro vote was disfranchised, under the "grandfather" clause. Only forty-six. Negro voters are now on the books, against 1,000 in previous years. Under the new registration the total vote registered was 1,085, against 2,100 as formerly. Now the vote is pretty evenly distributed. BUSINESS LEAGUE William F. Gude, President of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Negro Business League of the District of Columbia last Monday night in Zion Baptist Church at the installation of the league's officers. The aim of the association is to promote the business interests of Negroes in the District and to aid in building up the Negro race in America as a whole. Mr. Gude in his address pointed WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 17, 1909 out that the Negroes in Georgia now own 2220 square miles of land, which is more than is comprised in the entire State of Delaware, and he said he could not see why the Washington Negroes could not do proportionately as well. He advised them to help themselves and to educate their children along the various trade lines rather than give them expensive and many times useless courses in the high schools and universities: In conclusion he called to their minds what Lincoln said to the Negroes of the country after the war: "It is now up to you, boys. It is a case of root, hog, or die." Others who spoke were Thomas L. Jones, W. Sidney Pittman, President of the League, and R. W. Thompson, master of ceremonies. Rev. W. J. Howard gave the invocation and Rev. W. A. Ray the benediction. The officers installed were: President, W. Sidney Pittman; First Vice President, Daniel Freeman; Second Vice President, Alexander Underdown; Recording Secretary, Charles Hemans; Corresponding Secretary, George F. Collins; Treasurer, Joseph Manning; Sergeant-at-Arms, John W. Lewis, and Chaplain, Dr. J. F. mooreland. GIFT FOR COLORED BISHOP Dr. Smith of This City Presented With Historic Gavel Bishop J. W. Smith, D.D., of this city has been presented a historic gavel made from wood taken from Culp's Hill and Little Round Top, following the battle of Gettysburg, May 1, 2 and 3, 1863. It is lined with silver containing the inscription. "Presented to Bishop J. W. Smith by Samuel F. Hall, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, May 22, 1909." The donor is a layman in Wesley Union Church of Harrisburg, who is a great church worker and money raiser. Bishop Smith once held this charge as pastor. Its pulpit is now filled by the son of the late Bishop Singleton T. Jones, who was elected to that position while he was at John Wesley Church in this city. Accepting the gift, Bishop Smith said: "I prize this gavel very highly, first, because it is a gift from a true friend, and secondly, because the wood is historic, coming from the greatest battlefield of the Civil War, which, in three days on free soil, reached the high water mark of the tide of rebellion." Bishop Smith is the presiding bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church of the Conference in which this city is embraced. He resides in a commodious and beautiful residence on R street, northwest, between 13th and 14th streets. PLAN TO BUILD, A HALL Local Lodge of Colored Elks Discuss Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, at its meeting at True Reformers' Hall Tuesday evening discussed the proposition to build a hall for the use of the order. The Secretary, H. Clay Smith, and William H. Walker were designated to select a suitable site that can be bought for that purpose. The following were elected as delegates to represent the local colored Elks at the annual convention of the order at Detroit in August; H. Clay Smith, Thomas F. Harper, Albert B. Rice and W. H. Walker. The order has heretofore sent six delegates from the District to represent Morning Star Lodge No. 40, and Forest Temple No. 9, but the number was reduced in the interest of economy and a new hall. The Elks are a comparatively new organization in the District; it has grown rapidly both as to numbers, influence and material interests. It is a most worthy organization and is doing excellent work in the matter of upbuilding our people in this city. SOCIAL NOTICE The Society Editor of The Bee solicits social and local notices from the friends and patrons of the paper.

OUR POPULAR CONGRESSMAN FROM PENNSYLVANIA The Colored Man's Friend The members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League, representing over 600,000 colored voters in the United States, and a large membership in Pennsylvania, take great pleasure in presenting to the colored voters of Pennsylvania and the readers of the Washington Bee the Honorable Jonathan Nicholas Langham, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, member of Congress from the 27th District, whose cut and biography appear in this week's issue of the Washington Bee. Mr. Langham is serving his first term in Congress, having been elected by an overwhelming majority. Mr Langham is, and always has been, a true and uncompromising Republican and a true friend to the colored race, and believes in giving a square deal to all men, regardless of creed or color. Mr. Langham is making a great many friends since he came to Congress both among Democrats and Republicans on account of his kind and business disposition. Mr. Langham stood loyal by the Speaker of the House on the organization of the extra session of Congress. He was a great admirer of ex-President Roosevelt and is an original Taft man, and The Bee feels safe in saying that the voters of the 27th District could not have made a better selection than they did when they elected Mr. Langham to represent them in the 61st Congress, and it is to be hoped that he will be re-elected to the 62nd Congress by an increased majority. OUR POPULAR CONGRESSMAN FROM THE STATE OF IDAHO The Colored Man's Friend The members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League take great pleasure in presenting to the colored voters of Ohio and the readers of the Washington Bee the Honorable Thomas Ray Hamer, of St. Anthony, whose cut and biography appear in this week's issue of the Washington Bee. He is now serving his first term in Congress, having been elected by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Hamer is a true and uncompromising Republican and a loyal friend to the colored race. Mr. Hamer served in the late Spanish War and made a splendid record which speaks for itself. He has made a great many friends since he came to Congress on account of his kind and business disposition, and The Bee feels safe in saying that the voters of Idaho could not have made a better selection than they did when they elected Mr. Hamer to represent them in the 61st Congress, and the selection of such men as Mr. Hamer means a great deal not only to the colored voters of Idaho, but of the entire country, when the Democratic party is doing all in its power, to disfranchise every American Negro in the Southern States and to take from them all their inalienable rights given them by the Constitution, and it is to be hoped that the voters of Idaho will see that Mr. Hamer is returned to the 62nd Congress with an increased majority. FUNERAL OF DR. E. D. SCOTT Dr. E. D. Scott, a practicing and well known physician of this city, died Friday the 9th instant, at his residence, 903 9th street, northeast. Dr. Scott has been in delicate health for several months, but was not confined to his bed until within a recent period. Funeral services over his remains were held at the Berean Baptist Church, Monday afternoon, the 12th instant, Rev. D. P. Rivers, pastor of the church officiated, assisted by Reverends Walter H. Brooks, of the 19th Street Baptist Church, and William Howard of Zion Baptist Church, in South Washington. The pallbearers were Drs. E. D. Williston, H. S. Smith, F. W. Price, John W. Mitchell, and Professor Sherman Jackson. Deceased was a relative by marriage of the Honorable Emanuel Hewlett, attorney-at-law. A widow and two sons survive him. Interment in Harmony cemetery. A.

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

When down the street she'll piu mosso. gai-ly walk, You'll see the chap-pies stare and talk, And this the chorus they re-peat: "Now she's the girl I'd like to meet."

The vital statistics prepared by City Clerk Entwisle of Salem shows that during 1907 there were 479 marriage licenses issued and 306 solemnized in the city, which is 18 fewer than the previous year. The oldest bridegroom was 68 and the oldest bride 50, while the youngest bridegroom was 16 and the youngest bride 15. Seventy-one brides were older than the bridegrooms.—Boston Transcript. Vegetable Milk. "Vegetable milk" is used in Japan. It is made from the soja bean. The liquid is exactly like cow's milk in appearance, and in taste can hardly be distinguished from it. To make it the beans are first soaked and then boiled in water. Some sugar and phosphate potassium are added, and it is boiled down till it has the consistency of condensed milk. Valuable Bellcs. At an auction sale at Christie's in London of the late Marchloness of Conyngham's art collection a silver ewer and dish, weighing together 90 ounces, a gift of George IV to an ancestor of the Marchloness, sold for $21,000. A Vencrable Turtle. A Massachusetts boy, Nathan Sampson, has found a venerable turtle which bears markings made by his grandfather, now 81 years old, which were put on in 1840, and by his great-grandfather, who marked the same turtle in 1S16. Slightly Mixed. The story is now going the rounds of the country papers about a man who visited the paying-teller's window in a bank and asked for one of the new coins with "God, Bless Our Home" left off. A Healthful Occupation. Bull fighters receive $417 per hour, and the occupation is so healthful that unless killed by accident its followers invariably reach a green old age. Newspapers in Persia Persian newspapers are reproduced from handwriting by lithography, no types being used. Vienna has 32,000 street beggars, and many of them make a better living than workmen. It has been estimated that a London fog weighs 3,000,000,000 tons. NO MONEY REQUIRED until you receive and approve of your bicycle.

"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 ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Bwaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall or an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily swayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the horrified expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solemnity, if the boss is not around that the swaying of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered a considerable shock. N. Y. World. Odd South American Animals Many curious animals haunt the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the ceypahara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge coypu rat and the swarthy piglike tlprl are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabiru, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoons, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prospection.—Scotaman. The Ginsko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oollite series, at Borea, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Pressing Plaiter. 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 fo. **Solen skirts** especially: Before the skir has become badly creased or rumpled run a hasting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plats. 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 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. Quill Teothplicks. 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. A Beautiful Hair Dressing and Tonic for the Hair!

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 vain attempt to find the girl. The girl was condemned to death in the tomb because she eloped with one of her father's servants. She was engaged to the son of a wealthy Tartar, and all preparations had been made for the wedding. She was caught with the servant after a two days' chase, and was tried at a family council. It was decided to build a wall around her and leave her to her fate. Kavulitch was kidnapped, and he was taken into the mountains to find the whole tribe drawn up to witness the living burial of the girl. The man protested against the work, but his life was threatened unless he obeyed. Tife girl was tied hand and foot to a stake. She implored mercy, but her cries were heeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to follow it with a wall two feet thick. wollen's head, and a small opening was made for air, so that her sufferings might be prolonged. As soon as his work was finished Kavulitch was blindfolded again. He was set at liberty with 100 roubles in his pocket. He came to Odessa and went mad in the street. He was taken to a hospital in a straitjacket. A LOAF OF BREAD PUT IN TWO COFFINS. Half Burked with Wife, Hubbard's Grave Now Contains Other Parts 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 coffin. The other half was preserved in a tin box; the neighbors having been instructed to put it in their coffin. ANGE SIX AFTER MONTHS USING. A hair that is not naturally straight.

Rarely Seen in New York But Plenitiful 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 Orlof 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. Singling 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. A new method by which the audience at a theatre can show its approval or disapproval of a play without disturbing the performance is being introduced by the Italian dramatist, Traversi. Before leaving the theatre every person is to drop a ticket into one of three boxes marked "good," "indifferent," and "bad." A Fine Distinction. While a small boy was fishing one Sunday morning he accidentally lost his foothold and tumbled into the creek. As an old man on the bank was helping him out, he said: "How did you come to fall into the river, my little man?" "I didn't come to fall into the river. I came to fish," replied the boy.—The Argonaut. The Languages. According to Mulhall's estimates 130,000,000 persons speak English, and 84,000,000 German. Russian is spoken by upwards of $5,000,000, but these numbers are far exceeded by the 360,000,000 to 400,000,000 Chinese and 140,000,000 or more Hindustani. Shoo Fly! You can put a mat in front of every plate but you can't make a fly wipe his feet before he walks on your food. The only safe course with regard to the fly is to exclude him from the house.

John Utterances on Subject of Ill-Advised Marriages. POVERTY MARRIAGES DISAPPROVED Boston Pastor Discourrages 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 sinned, 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 practi- bility 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 unfitted 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 sin of the guilty." ```markdown ``` THE REE PUBLISHE 1109 Eye St., N.

Some of the demoted and transferred teachers claim that it is all prejudice. Meetings are being held by both sides in private house for the purpose of strengthening their fences. It is also rumored that Superintendent Stewart refused to agree to all the recommendations made Mr. Bruce. Can the rumor be true? The feeling among members of Congress is intense and their is no doubt but that Congress will whip out the entire school management at its December session. Mr. Bailey, it is claimed, called to see Mr. Bruce and asked him why he was demoted and transferred. He got no satisfaction. Mr. Bai'ry also wanted to know why'he was not told that he was not giving satisfaction. The Bee would like to know from Mr. Bailey why he didn't tell certain teachers under him that they were not giving satisfaction. Nobody regrets the removal of Messrs. Bailey and Nalle. It is a good thing sometime for a person to be fed with their own medicine. If their medicine is as bitter to them as it was to the teachers under them they can appreciate their condition. There has been too much treachery in the schools. If existing conditions continue the Negro schools will be object lessons of the past. The promotion of some of the teachers has not been fair to older and more deserving teachers: why should Messrs. Stafford and Jackson be appointed over the heads of older and more deserving teachers? The Bee doesn't claim and neither does it charge that either man is incompetent. It does mean to say and be understood as having said that there are teachers in the schools among the females more deserving than either Jackson or Stafford. There are certain conditions in the High School that should be remedied. An investigation of the High School would disclose some startling facts. Then again their is a disturbing element in the schools that should be removed. The Board of Education should go further and remove from the High School an element that is dangerous. The most amusing charge that is being made is that Messrs. Nalle, Jackson, Bruce and Bailey are prominent Negro Masons and for that reason they should live and work in harmony. From the standpoint of The Bee there is little sincerity in Negro Masonry. Of course ther are a few honorable exceptions. The schools are in a muddle and they should be remedied. IS IT CONSISTENT? There are some preachers, who are never consistent. They take every cent they can obtain from a saloon keeper and at every opportunity they make an attack on saloons from their pulpits. The Bee has the highest respect for Rev. Waldron, because it believes that he is a conscientious man. But is he at all times consistent? He preached a very eloquent sermon last Sunday morning, but his attack on the saloons was uncalled for and inconsistent because when he entered the campaign against Judg Taft, Rev. Mr. Waldron solicited the aid of the Personal Liberty League If saloons are objectionable to him, why would he appeal to the national organizer of the Personal Liberty League and to the League itself to aid him in his political fight against the nominee of the Republican party. Will Rev. Waldron explain? Will he state to his congregation the difference between the National Personal Liberty League and saloons? Of course Rev. Waldron is a temperance advocate, and against the saloons, but would his church refuse five hundred dollars from his neighbor, Mr. Luke Karney, if he should offer it to the church? There are some people in the world who like whiskey and at the same time preach against it. Of course Rev. Waldron is not one of these preachers. The Bee has the highest respect for his honesty and integrity, but it believes that he is wrong on the whiskey question. MR. JEFFERSON'S BOATS It is surprising to The Bee why colored churches and other colored organizations should so soon forget the man who has made it possible for colored people to enjoy themselves on the river. Mr. Lewis Jefferson has spent a fortune to give colored people that which they don't seem to appreciate. Many run after new "gods," because the god has a white face and who cares but little for them. The Negro who cries the loudest for race enterprises is the most deceiving and less race supporting. Some of the most intelligent Negroes and many of the representative organizations seem to run to their enemies and give them their support. The man who cries "wolf" should himself be watched and chained, because he is more dangerous to the community than any other animal. The so-called intelligent Negro is the first to cry out against "Jim-Crowism," and the first to "Jim Crow" his own race and discriminate against himself. UNMERITED POWER Some times a person suddenly springs into power and then he becomes a tyrant. The innocent and the weak are soon made victims of humiliation and degradation. Unmerited power makes wise men egotists and bombasts. Many of them betray friends and go so far as to place a halter around the necks of their brothers and sisters. A small man suddenly appointed to a large position will often cause his head to swell larger than the hat he wore before he was appointed. A Negro especially imagines that a position makes him a leader and gives him power over his associates. This idea obtains among Negroes who soon become intoxicated by a sudden imposition of power. There is nothing more dangerous in a community than a man or woman possessing unmerited power. A Negro is more dangerous than a white man with such power. WHAT IT HAS CAUSED The recent upheaval in the schools has resulted and will result in Congress investigating them. If Congress should investigate the Negro schools some injured. Not since the establishment of the colored schools has there been such as upheaval and consternation. No teacher seems to be satisfied or contented. The Bee's charge against the school management will be laid before Congress and what will the result be? The end of Negro supervisors of the Negro schools. The Bee is opened to the die The Bee is opposed to the dis- placement of worthy eighth grade teachers and the appointment of incompetent men in their places. Why should worthy female teachers be removed? Great stress has been placed on college graduates. The Bee has seen but few competent college graduates. Certainly there are but few in the Negro schools. DEMOCRATS WIN By unfair political methods the Democrats of Annapolis, Maryland, won in the local fight by disfranchising over 1000 Negro voters under the grandfather clause. The Democrats of Annapolis may be happy, but they should not forget that a day of retribution is coming. The Bee believes that some of best and most conservative Democrats in Maryland are against the disfranchisement of the Negro. The day may be dark for him, but he need have no cause to dispair. NOT J. C. CAMPBELL The communication that appeared in The Bee last week, signed J. C. Campbell, stating that a change would be made in the Recorder of Deed's office, was not the J. C. Campbell of the Census Office. Politics eliminated from the Negro Business League, Negro lawyers united for once. Perrie W. Frishy given one more chance to vindicate himself, The merits of Attorney Peyton recognized. Attorney L. M. King elected Grand Chancellor. E. M. Hewlett placed upon the bench. The Negro schools get down to business. R. R. Horner watch every movement. What the next move in the schools will be. If Dr. James E. Shepard is not the "it" of the South. If attorney L. M. King is not making his mark. If some people don't make grave errors that they can't recall. By Miss Gonevia Blyden Maxfield. The Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia has adopted a new constitution which it is thought will greatly add to the efficiency of the organization. They are now planning for a large campaign. The Chicago Tribune Independence Day casuality statistics showed total of fifty-two deaths directly attributable to the celebration of the 4th and the careless use of fireworks and other explosives. It would be well for all thinking Negroes to read the series of articles which appear in Hampton's Magazine, "The Unknowable Negro," by Harris Dickson. Judge Dickson claims he has studied the Negro problem North and South with an unbiased judicial mind. It would pay you to read the articles and judge for yourself. At the corner stone laying of the Ingram Memorial Congregational Church, of which President Taft was the principal speaker, among other things he said: "Religion should be a part of our daily life." This sentiment was heartily endorsed. The. International Solar Union, which has just adjourned in, Rome, will meet in Pasadena, California, in August, 1910. The convention brings together distinguished scientists and a-tronomers from all over the world. As an "outcome," so it is thought of labor troubles, a suit case containing gun cotton was placed under a pile of steel girders in the factory of Whitehead and Kale's and destroyed nearly the whole plant. In an address before the National Educational Association in Denver, Miss Mary F. Ledyard, Supervisor of Kindergartens and Manual Arts said "The American children are forward, bright, often precocious, underbred, and sadly lacking in respect to the elders or things of sacred nature." A bill proposing to change the mode of legal execution in the District from hanging to electrocution, has been referred to the Commissioners. For five weeks there will be conducted in the Colored Social Settlement of this city a vacation Bible School, the object of which is to keep the neglected boys and girls out of the streets, and at the same time teach them Bible history. A pension of $2.50 per week is being given to the three granddaughters of the late Charles Dickens, the great novelist. There will be at an early date in this city a popular educational massmeeting in the interest of Ferguson and Williams College, of Abbeville, South Carolina. Several members of Congress will make addresses. Rev. E. H. Williams, D.D., and Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, are doing excellent work for the race throughout the country and should be encouraged by all lovers of education. The Hampton Negro Conference will hold its regular session July 14-15 at the Hampton Institute. Because Postmaster Peachy of Williamsburg, Virginia, appointed a colored school teacher, J. I. Greenhow, as mail carrier for rural route No. I, a storm of protest has broken out in the upper part of Jamestown District, James City County. In New York the nation's returns to date from the Fourth of July celebration of 1909 are sixty-one dead and 3,246 injured. The famous Hope diamond, which blazed on the bosom of May Yohe when as Lady Frances Hope she was singing in New York, was sold at auction in Paris for $80,000. Bombs were exploded in two theatres in Barcelona, Spain, and seven persons were seriously injured. Archbishop Farley was given an amethyst and diamond ring by the Pope at the Vatican, Rome. The cutting mill of the Oxford Paper Company at Rumford Falls, Maine, was destroyed by fire started by an exploding firecracker. The loss was $80,000. A new Penny Savings Bank opened the other day at Dallas, Texas. Senator Scott, of West Virginia, addressed the colored Young Men's Christian Association the other Sunday. The new one cent piece bearing the head of President Lincoln will be issued by the treasury department from the mint at Philadelphia, beginning on August 1, next. A patent has been issued to Dr. J. H. Smith for a machinie for stoning cling stone fruit. Dr. Smith is a dentist in Little Rock, Arkansas. The largest flag in the world was unfurled in Pittsburg July 5. It pulled thousands of pounds of tile roofing from the courthouse and many persons miraculously escaped injury. Fire losses in June amounted to $10,057, according to the report of Fire Chief Wagner. This is a contrast to the month of May which was $93,829. Mr. Henry Baker of 2348 6th street, northwest collected $15.00 on Sunday for Mrs. Perry the colored woman who was left destitute by the drowning of her husband and two two sons sometime ago. Contributions are also being taken for her at the Star office. If Dr. L. Duncan Buckley and other specialists associated with him find John R. Early has not the leprosy his pension of $72.00 per month will be stopped. It is said that Democratic members of Congress will urge President Taft to give instructions that only white enumerators shall be employed in taking the census, south of the Mason and Dixon line. In Jacksonville, Florida there are fourteen colored physicians, ten graduated pharmacists, eight drug stores, sixteen trained nurses, two dentists, two banks, two industrial insurance companies, two newspapers six lawyers and 185 churches. This shows that the Negro can do just what the white man can do if the opportunity is given him. The gallant old 24th Infantry took part in the celebration of the discovery of Lake Champlain, by Sieur de Champlain. As they were reviewed they were applauded to the echo. The latest statistics show that there are 5,115,177 regular Baptists in the United States. Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University, has returned from a five thousand mile tour studying industrial and educational conditions of our race. Professor Miller seems to be quite hopeful and says the educationaladvantages are good and there is no unusual criminal element among us. The News-Enterprise says that John Temple Graves has at last been converted at the meeting held in Carnegie Lyceum, New York City, in the interest of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Georgia. He said he was at one time opposed to the education of the Negro, but now is a strong advocate of it. Rev. Dr. Charles E.. Stowe, in telling why his mother, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin," said she had always been deeply affected by the stories of Negro slaves being separated from their children by the auction sales and otherwise, and while in church the story of Uncle Tom Cabin came before her as a vision. Although she expected to get money enough to start a school, she got greater results in the end. A deficit of $115,100,151 for the last fiscal year was reported by the Treasury Department. The Windmere Hotel, one of the largest and best known summer boarding houses in the southern section of Ulster County, New York, was destroyed by fire. ATTORNEY L. M. KING Among the many members of the local bar, Attorney L. M. King is among the successful and most enterprising. Attorney King is also actively engaged in the real estate business and there is no doubt of his success. He is one of the active members to unite the split factions of the Elks, and it is said that he is very influential among the members of that order. TRUE REFORMERS Last evening at 8 o'clock a public installation of the several officers elected for the ensuing year, of the True Reformers' was held at the hall corner of 12th and U' streets, northwest. The ceremonies were very interesting and impressive, embracing that portion confined to the ritual of the order. Address appropriate to the occasion were made by Revs. I. N. Ross, T. W. Longwood, Mrs. S. F. Lewis and Brother W. B. Griffin, the Chief of this jurisdiction. Several hundred members were in attendance. Lemon Ginger Mint. Make an unusually strong lemonade, allowing five lemons and a cup of sugar to each quart of water. To every quart of lemonade add a quart of ginger ale. Put both together in a big punch bowl with a piece of ice. Have ready a number of sprigs of mint carefully washed. Bruise the stems and lower leaves between the fingers to bring out the full flavor of the mint. Half an hour before serving pour into the punch bowl. Chilled Dessert. Chocolate Cream—Into a double boller beat the yolks of six eggs, add to them three ounces of grated chocolate, quarter of a pound of sugar and one pint of rich cream. Stir one way constantly until it thickens. Strain off into a large bowl. Beat half a pint of cream until very thick and add to this an ounce and a half of dissolved gelatin. Mix this very lightly with the chocolate and cream, then pour off into a mold and put on the ice to harden. Pleasant Flavor. One noted housewife says the secret of her delicious raspberry jam is that just before the jam has finished boiling she stirs into it currant jelly in the proportion of a half-pint of the jelly to a quart of jam. The two were stirred thoroughly together and put in sealed jars in the usual way. Pork Salad. One large cupful roast or boiled pork, chopped fine. One boiled potato, mashed with one tablespoonful butter. One teaspoonful dry mustard; two cucumber pickles, chopped; two hard-bolled eggs, chopped; black pepper, salt and vinegar to mix smooth. A picnic and lamb-slaying was held July 4th at Madre's Park under the auspices of the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church. About 6.000 persons were present. Many took part in the athletic contests.

We feel that the Board of Education will give the schools of the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th divisions its earnest attention, as it has done in all other matters connected with the schools. The Board cannot be expected to know every evil that exists until it is brought under its observation. It passes lightly over nothing, gives everything fair consideration and justice. An extract of the parting address of Dr. W. S. Montgomery, to the teachers under his supervision, June 21, 1909. "The session about to end, in keeping with the present policy, severs my relations with you as Supervising Principal. I therefore, before the tie is sundered, desire to give expression to the feelings of gratitude and good will for the unfailing courtesy and cooperation which have characterized our entire course. In no instance have the most cordial or pleasant relations suffered interruption by misunderstanding and ill will. My labor with you and for you has been one of love, as well as one of duty, and although absent in body, there will remain for me the delightful memory of a year passed among you. If my sojourn with you in any way rendered the yoke of service easy and its burden light, then I have my reward. If in any way I have caused pain by word or act to any, I crave forgiveness from Heaven's just Judge." It is hoped that in the disposition of the high places in the schools, that those who have rendered long and efficient service will be remembered also; we would think it just recognition if Miss M.

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 hard 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 inlining downward. Nothing produces either ivory or horn in fine specimens throughout Ceylon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they will not bear a comparison with those of other countries. The horns of the native cattle are not above four inches in length. The elk and the spotted deers antlers are small compared with deer of their size in India. This is more singular, as it is evident from the geological formation that at some remote period Ceylon was not an island, but formed a portion of the main land. It is thought there must be elements wanting in the Ceylon pasturage for the formation of ivory.—Ceylon Manual. Smokeless Coal. A London inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after distillation, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Electrocuting Animals. The slaughter of animals for food by electrocution is being experimented by Dr. Leduc, a French scientist, who has been conducting his investigations in the French abbattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is painless, the central functions of perception being first destroyed and then those of circulation and respiration, so that there is neither suffering nor reaction in the animals thus killed. The doctor is endeavoring to devise some piece of apparatus by which the killing of cattle may be accomplished by electricity with economy and 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 curred. But he cannot. He has been brought up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of diffidence holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakit, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mile of hairs—London Observer. Knitting Pictures Dangeron. "Railroad casualties receive such wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common belief on the part of the public that one is more liable to accidents while traveling than when living the simple life in the confines of his home. "As a matter of cold fact, statistics show that accident insurance companies pay more money to people who get hurt hanging pictures or taking stoves apart than they do to the victims of head-on collisions. It sounds strange, but it's the truth." —Kansas City Journal. Three Men to Move Book. There lies in the British Museum the largest book yet printed, a colossal atlas of engraved ancient Dutch maps. It takes three men to move it from the giant book case in which it is stored in the library of the museum. It is bound in leather, magnificently decorated, and is fastened with clasps of solid silver, richly gilt. It is nearly seven feet high and weighs 800 pounds and was presented to King Charles II. before he left Holland in the year 1660. Valuable East African Forest. The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 227 miles long by eight miles broad, and comprises 1,000,000 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 2 1/2 d. per cubic foot, this works out to £23 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £22,000,000.—London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historians. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject.

In nine cases out of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an older writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman.

WITH THE "BREAD LINE" A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. THE BOWN MISSION At this Place Fleischmann's May Be the Men in Actual Need—It is the Alm of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery as I approached them looked me over when they saw I was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the cont'd had borrowed for the evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were not waterproof. If my abject 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 kna a feller git a cup o' coffee 'r a handout?" I asked. One of the officers smiled affably. "Two doors up," he said, indicating one of the numerous five and ten-cent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in this neighborhood. "I didn't mean that kind," I replied. "I've got to find a place where there ain't a price on the 'grub.'" "I guess the bread line at Fleischmann's or the Bowery Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said the officer as he turned his back on me. So I slouched along to 55 Bowery, where a sign in the window, reading, "Bowery Mission—Services Every Evening," indicated that I had found the right place. I looked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was 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 git your: at 12 sharp up there." S we ambled up the Bowery to Eighth street, and from there to Tenth street and Fourth avenue. Already the waiting line extended from the rear door of the bakery around the corner to the entrance of Grace church. I dropped into the procession which in a few moments reached up Broadway to Twelfth street. I had been in the line but a short time when a clock nearby sounded for midnight. The line began to move along and the waiting men on either side of me cheered up a bit. There was very little conversation, however. Now and then some of them muttered curses, and once when a sightseeing automobile stopped at the corner the curses became quite audible. After the line of waiting men—over 600 in number, as I ascertained—had had their bread and coffee, most of them dispersed, though a few "repeated" in order to get a second holding. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowery Mission—sometimes more. It is the aim at both this place and at Fielschmann's to send no one away hungry, but just now the demand is much in excess of that usual at this time of year. One sees at these two places the men who are in actual need of food and drink. The street beggars are in nine cases out of ten unworthy of notice. But the man or woman who doubts the distress—the real need of food among the unemployed—should spend a couple of hours at the two places I have described, and he or she will be convinced that there is no lack of opportunity for the offices of the Good Samaritan, and no excessive crowding in the ranks of helpers of unfortunate humanity.

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

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 "Bostatska 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 burguary 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. Paris Abates • Nuisance The Paris prefect of police has decided that in future no more licenses to play barrel organs in that city will be granted. AMERICAN HOME INSURANCE BUILDING SICK AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE UP TO $25.00 PER WEEK WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE ON VERY LIBERAL TERMS PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH. AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home, in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pavs 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 vory 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. Fire 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 A High License. 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. K STRATEGICAL USES OF T. LS. The Clever Little Weasel and His Means of Defense. 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. The ermine, as it is incorrectly called in its winter coat, has an easy time of it, sneaking upon the mice and birds upon which it preys, but when a hawk takes after it in an open field in the sunlight or an owl in the moonlight, it would have but short shrift with all its sinuous leaping, were it not that the black tail 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 mail teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mail service—St. Nicholas. Names that Don't Nama. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous exalic 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. Dora 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 hoofs. They salif 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 $85,000,000, while Russia, both in Europe and Asia, Mexico, Canada and several other countries, make up the remainder. A Long Sleep. An astonishing trance case has come to light in Berlin. A clerk, aged 46—a healthy normal man—suddenly fell asleep in June 1904. All efforts to awaken him were unsuccessful and the sleeper since then has never opened his eyes. He breathes regularly and swallows his food mechanically, but is insensible to the severest attempts to arouse him. Lace Curtataz. Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added, before being put into warm suds. This gets out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have 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. Chicago Standard. A Valuable Belle A thirteenth century copper and silk cliborium, supposed to have come from Malmesbury abbey, was sold by auction in London for $30,000. THE NIGHT RIDERS AIDED KENTUCKY Original Organization Did Away with Toll Gates and Brought About Good Roads. COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAW Crimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Association Which Caused the Abolishment of the Turnpike Companies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob violence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Southern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been shouldered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turnip-like corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll 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 impossible. 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 organised. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be defiant he was flogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the toll gate keeper was glad to give up his job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laving the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance. Payche Knot a Life Saver Altoona, Pa.—Having washed and dried her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Psyche knot and walked out on the front porch. While she leaned against the railing it gave way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the sidewalk, alighting on her head. The coiffure 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. Investigation of the records reveals the fact that during the last century from January 1, 1801, to December 31, 1909, 144 persons in Rochefort attained the age of 90 or over. Two of these were centenarians, one reaching the age of 108, and the other dying at 106. 2 GREAT OFFERS This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, If I could only and water! I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I ate some green brush, but I can't go any more. I wonder how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death law from bryman habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go no further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dying. --- "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 3, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water 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, Inye 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 con- tinent is in operation between Oro- ville and Brewster in Okanogan County. Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Vienatchee. 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 Marcus and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokakne, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE 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 Occo'hannock 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 Hesbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calrins, 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 LEGAL NOTICES. THOMAS WALKER, ATTORNEY.

Beginning modestly in 1884 the Arey Distillery has grown until today it is one of the largest in the country. The name Arey is synonymous of all that is clean, honest and skillful—the very acme of the distiller's art. The growth of the Arey Distillery was accompanied by no blare of trumpets—it has been quietly, modestly and steadily forging ahead through the sheer merit of its product. At first they employed the old primitive process of open kettle distillation—honest, but crude of course. But they were careful to adopt every invention tending to improve the quality of their product. Hygienic safeguards, modern filters and the expert skill in selecting materials which comes only with years of painstaking and patient toil, today enables this distillery to make the finest "Old North Carolina Corn Whiskey" in the world.
