VOL.XXX NO 7 He Is Honored COMMISSIONER SCOTT Honoring a Worthy Young Man Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Alabama, was the guest of honor last Thursday evening at a magnificent banquet at Gray's Cafe, 1313 E street, northwest, tendered by upwards of a hundred citizens of Washington and representative colored men of the country at large. The function was designed as a compliment to Mr. Scott's very satisfactory service as a member of the Commission sent by the United States Government to investigate the political, social and industrial conditions of the West African Republic and to suggest ways and means by which this nation could intervene in behalf of its struggling foster-child. It was the aim of the Commission to discover, if possible, some method by which Liberia's threatened dismemberment at the hands of foreign powers could be prevented, and how the United States might assist in the development of its vast natural resources and to build up a commerce worthy of the name. Mr. Scott and his associates spent several weeks in Liberia and the bordering countries and their report is now in course of preparation for presentation to the President and the State Department. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department, acted as toast master, and set a new pace in that important office by his witty salies good-humored jibes and satirical references to the current happenings in which the speakers were prominently identified. Mr. James A. Cobb, Assistant United States Attorney, responding to the toast, "Our Guest," paid a lofty tribute to the work and worth of the Commissioner-Diplomat, to which Mr. Scott replied in fitting terms, giving a clear and comprehensive, yet modest statement of what the representatives of the United States had tried to accomplish through their investigations in the "Dark Continent." Without forestalling his official report to the government, Mr. Scott told in an entertaining way of the character of the people in control of Liberia, of their habits and customs, and lauded the open-handed hospitality which greeted the Commissioners from the time they set foot upon the African shore until they regretfully said "Adieu." He painted a hopeful picture of the future of the Republic, as he had perceived within the elements of a strong national character, a determination to preserve their territorial rights and an intense desire to keep abreast of the ideals and standards set by the people of America. Mr. Scott considers Liberia the richest spot on the face of the earth, considering its area, and felt that with the proper help, the patriots there could establish for all time to come a tangible evidence of the self-governing ability of the black man. Mr. Scott's remarks were listened to with the closest attention and at the close he was given an ovation, the guests rising and drinking a toast to his continued good health and happiness. Others who responded to appropriate toasts were Major John R. Lynch, paymaster in the United States Army; Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Recorder of Deeds; W. T. Vernon, the Municipal Court; John C. Dancy, Register of the Treasury; Professor Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of the public schools; Dr. W. Bruce Evans, Principal of Armstrong Technical High School; Drs. A. M. Curtis, E. D. Williston, and C. Y. Childs; Mr. R. R. Horner, of the Board of Education; Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of New York; and Architect W. Sidney Pittman. All of the speeches were of an unusually high order—spicy, eloquent and informing, abounding at every possible point in praise of the wisdom and executive capacity of the guest of honor and predicting even greater achievements for him in the afterwhile. Letters and telegrams, regretting inability to be present, were received from prominent men throughout the country, among them Dr. Booker T. Washington, Principal of Tuskegee Institute; Honorable W. H. Lewis, of Boston; Honorable Charles W. Anderson, of New York; Honorable Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore; Fred. R. Moore, of New York, Editor of the New York Age; Attorney Thomas L. Jones, of the District bar; and Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute. Dr. Washington's telegram was in part, as follows: "Very glad indeed Washington people are honoring Mr. Scott in way he deserves for hard and successful work he has accomplished on the Liberian Commission . He has acquitted himself in a creditable and praise-worthy manner." As is well-known to the country, Mr. Scott has been, for more than twelve years, the faithful, discreet and far-seeing private secretary to Dr. Washington, and the latter loses no opportunity to express his sincere appreciation of the painstaking service rendered by this estimable young man, and candidly admits his indispensability to the well-being of the Tuskegee Institute and its allied activities. Mr. Scott is a native of Texas and graduated from Wiley University at Houston. A few years ago his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. Since the formation of the National Negro Business League by Dr. Booker T. Washington in Boston in 1900 Mr. Scott has been corresponding secretary of that great agency for commercial uplift, and has been the "right hand" of his distinguished chief in promoting its growth year by year. It was due to the agitation and persistent following up of the matter that there are today three Negro bandmasters in the colored regiments of the United States Army, and through him President Roosevelt was moved to order that all of the four regiments be provided with Negro chief musicians as rapidly as openings could be made. The very congenial company which assembled to do honor to Commissioner Scott on this occasion included beside those already mentioned: R. W. Thompson, Cyrus F. Adams, Robert A. Pelham, A. O. Stafford, A. F. Hillyer, H. C. Tyson, Arthur C. Newman, A. H. Glenn James E. Walker, John C. Nalle, W. Calvin Chase, Arthur S. Gray, James W. Gray, Wyatt Archer, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, George W. Davis, George F. Collins, Oliver Randolph, Thomas J. Calloway, John T. Howe, Charles T. Pointer, and Whitfield McInlay. POSTSCRIPTS The menu was delightful. Caterer James W. Bray showed the genuine "Chamberlain form" and spared neither pains nor expense to set out the best the market afforded. It was James A. Cobb's first experience as chairman of a big banquest committee and he handled the delicate situation with the skill of a veteran, besides making the "speech of his life" in eulogy of the honored guest. It was Cobb's night to shine—and he shone. Although compelled to come crutches, oi account of his recent siege of rheumatism, Editor W. Calvin Chase was on hand early. Nothing but his deep admiration for Mr. Scott could have drawn him from his home at night. Judge Terrell's beautiful tribute to his old friend and patron, Major John R. Lynch, was one of the most impressive flights of the evening. As an all-around after dinner speaker, the Judge stands in a class alone. As toastmaster, Auditor Tyler handed out a few "hot ones" that made everybody sit up and take notice—wondering what kind of a griddle he would use to broil his next victim upon. His baseball allegory, describing the school fight as it appeared on the diamond, brought down the house and prepared the guests to hear from Assistant Superintendent Bruce. The wiseacres are trying to see where Gilchrist Stewart got his authority for pronouncing "eons" as if spelled with a long "a." The Brownsville hero soared higher than Orville Wright's aeroplane, but came down without a scratch, amid the cheers of the groundlings.

The "Wizard" never hesitates to "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and is ever ready to share the spotlight with those who merit a place therein. If there were any factions present, they kept the fact a dark secret. And there was no odor of the oil that might have been used to still the erstwhile troubled waters. Major Lynch looked more vigorous that he did in the old days when he was "Fourth Auditor of the Treasury," and led the valiant Mississippi clans to victory in the quadrennial battles at the national conventions. His able speech recalled the historical convention of 1884, when he was temporary chairman by motion of Theodore Roosevelt, and brought up the vivid recollection that at the age of twenty-four he was elected to Congress over the redoubtable General Chalmers in the famous "Shoestring district" of Mississippi. body has ever been known to catch the bland assistant superintendent napping.

Over here we "tip" those who serve us. In Liberia they "dash" them. The — frequently means something else on this side of the water. The toastmaster's gentle hint that Dr. E. D. Williston's inauguration day staff got "cold feet" and failed to materialize on account of the weather and other things, may be taken by the friends of the genial medico as a capsule suggestion that he should have another chance on March 4, 1913. The signal success of the Scott banquet is all the more creditable to the committee because it is the third $2 spread for much the same company within the brief period of two months—and heretofore such "gilt-edged "feeds" have been held not oftener than once or twice in a given year. "The finest affair in a long time," was the unanimous verdict. President William Howard Taft got an enthusiastic "hand" for appointing Commissioner Scott and giving him the opportunity to show the kind of metal he is made of. The Commissioner's speech was a model of good taste and his story of the incidents of the trip and the honors lavished upon the trio, was devoid of anything savoring of bombast or "I-ism." It was gratifying to hear of the royal treatment accorded Mr. Scott, by the officers of the ships, refuting the silly effort of the bourbon New York Press to stir up race friction just upon the eve of sailing for Africa. The floral decorations were the talk of those inclined to aestheticism, and the well-trained husbands carried a souvenir bouquet home to their "better halves." Dr. Evans bore a striking resemblance to the multi-millionaire "Count of Monte Cristo." His speech was a telling one and the educational authorities could have found no paragraph that required the use of the "blue pencil." From the advertisement received for his abilities as a "nurse," Dr. Curtis should have no trouble in securing a houseful of diplomatic patients when he opens his sanitarium. Professor Bruce admirably "side- stepped the trap which the wily toast master framed up for his feet. No- SATURDAY JULY 24, 1909 JET T. J.

Stewart and Others Speak—Attorney L. M. King Not Greeted With Applause.—His Interview There was quite a number of citizens assembled in True Reformers' Hall last Monday night to listen to protests against the management of the colored schools. The first speech was delivered by N. P. Marshall, a member of the local bar, who said: Assured of Hearing by Congress "I have been assured that a hearing will be given the matter," said N. P. Marshall, President of the association, who presided, "and to Congress we propose to take it if necessary." It was also proposed to bring the attention of the city at large to the alleged unsavory conditions in the colored schools by a series of mass meetings to be held in different sections of the city at frequent intervals this fall, at which the various questions involved are to be discussed from all standpoints. These meetings will primarily be under the supervision of the Citizen's Association. The principal address last night was made by President Marshall, who was succeeded in turn by Rev. D. F. Rivers, Alexander C. Garnet, L. M. King and Joseph H. Stewart. Each of them delivered short talks, Mr. King being introduced as "a friend of the opposition." As Attorney King arose to address the meeting quite a number of ladies left the hall and remarked that they would not stay to listen to him. Attorney King said: "It is not my purpose or intention in what I shall say to defend or approve any particular individual or school policy," said Mr. King. "I merely wish to express my sentiments, as I believe to be the right of every American citizen on an occasion of this kind. Judging from the remarks of the president, it appears that this meeting is called for the purpose of denouncing the Assistant Superintendent, Roscoe Conkling Bruce. And he has been denounced in the most --- scathing terms. If we are to believe what has been said about him, the average ten-year-old schoolboy is better fitted for his position than he. Be this as it may, the Board of Education has considered these charges and Mr. Bruce has been exonerated. This board is a properly constituted body to take such actions. This being true, what possible good can be accomplished by the holding of indignation meetings against Mr. Bruce? "We are here to discuss the unsatisfactory school administration which has existed in this city for the past two years,' Mr. Marshall said. "It is characterized by oppression, gag rule and internal discord of all kinds, and it is our purpose in the citizens' association here to remedy the conditions so far as it lays in our power. Teachers Afraid to Appear "The gag rule complained of is responsible, I have no doubt, for the total absence of teachers in this audience. They have not put in an appearance for fear of a possible reprimand or dismissal by their superior." The speaker disclaimed any intention as the head of the agitation movement of seeking a school office for himself. He reiterated that the sole hope of reward of all the agitators of the present movement was the realization of a clean, unbiased administration of the colored schools of the District. Mr. Marshall reviewed the history of the public schools for the past 12 years and traced the origin of the connection of Mr. Bruce with the system. "He is a theorist, he is unfair and unfit for his work here. He has every colored school in the city in an uproar and in discord," said Mr. Marshall in conclusion. The meeting lasted until well toward midnight, adjourning at the call of the president, that they and some of their followers were so blinded in their prejudicial feelings against Mr. Bruce that they were unwilling to hear the other side. "Wise men err, fools never." "I only spoke five minutes and was then stopped by the president who had himself spoken one hour, besides two other affirmative speakers who PUBLIC SCHOOL INDIGNATION MEETING Lawyer L. Melendez King Interviewed as to his Remarks at True Reformer Hall A representative of The Bee saw Lawyer L. Melendez King for an interview as to his connection with the indignation school meeting held at True Reformers' Hall Monday, July 19, 1909. Mr. King was asked, "How about the newspaper statements that you led the opposition for Mr. Bruce and were hissed, etc?" Mr. King replied: I have no personal knowledge of any hissing while I was speaking. I believe that such newspaper reports were circulated by the anti-Bruce faction in order to discredit anyone holding an opposite view to the one entertained by them. If there was hissing, as they say, is only showed consumed considerable time. I was not given a "square deal," after being called on to speak. The facts are that I was passing the hall and was asked to come in and take a seat on the stage. I was not normally invited to speak and was surprised that I was called on. However, I spoke as follows: "It is not my purpose or intention in what I shall say, to defend or approve any particular individual or school policy. I merely wish to express my sentiments as I believe to be the right of every American citizen on an occasion of this kind. Judging from the remarks of the President, it appears that this meeting was called for the purpose of denouncing the Assistant Superintendent, Roscoe Conkling Bruce. And he has been denounced in the most scathing terms. If we are to believe what has been said about him, the average ten-year-old schoolboy is better fitted for his position than he is. Be this as it may, the Board of Education has considered these charges and Mr. Bruce has been exonerated. This Board is a properly constituted body to take such actions. This being true, what possible good can be accomplished by the holding of indignation meetings against Mr. Bruce? "More like holding an indignation meeting against the school board than against some individual. Still the latter course, in my judgement, under the circumstances, would be exceedingly unwise to be indulged in by good citizens; such a course would be revolutionary in its nature and repugnant to our form of government. The School Board was placed in its present position by the properly constituted authority, to perform its duty the best it could under the circumstances. It has performed its work, attended to its business, and the wiser course would be for every man here to be at home, or some place else, attending to his duty. In my opinion he would reflect more credit upon himself and his race by so doing." A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE Honorable Simon Guggenheimer, of Denver, Colorado, who is now serving his first term as United States Senator from that State, is making a record of which his constituents should feel proud. He is a strict party man and has stood by his party during the long debate on the tariff. He has been in constant attendance, never having missed a roll call. This well known party man does not pose as an orator, but is a ready debater on all questions, especially those concerning his party or state. For a long time Mr. Guggenheimer occupied a seat on the Democratic side of the Senate, but now he has a permanent seat on the Republican side of the Senate, where he is always surrounded by the leaders of the party discussing important questions of state or some important bill. As a senator from the great State of Colorado, and the only Republican from that State, he has a great responsibility upon his shoulders. He is also National Committeeman from Colorado. No man stands higher with his party, and t hefuture prosperity of the Republican party in Colorado depends upon his wise judgement, and The Bee feels safe in saying that his party will give him loyal support which will redeem the State from Democratic rule and control in 1910 and place her once more in the Republican column where she rightly belongs. The Bee extends to the voters of Colorado its hearty congratulations in having such an able representative as Senator Guggenheimer to represent Colorado at the time when the rights and liberities of the American Negro are involved. It is the duty of every colored American in the State of Colorado to stand by the party and its able senator.

A YOUNG LION SLAYER. Boer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots On the African Veldt. Three lions were killed near Pietersburg, Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Boer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kafir Koy 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 whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom,' I had my little Kafir boy, with me."—The skins were sold in Pietersburg.—Pretoria Volksstem. Poisorous 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 skin is a dirty tawny yellow, with dark brown lozenges on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The fiercest of the lance-headed viper is the Jararoca, and it, also, it a dirty yellow, but it is brown-black about the tail.—Boston Herald. Birds, Fruit; Dead Leaves. The Mokl Indian women of Arizona have an ingenuous and romantic form of coiffure. When young these women coil their tresses at the sides of their heads, so as to represent the buds of a native plant. This signifies that they themselves are in the flush of youth and of marriageable age. When they are married their hair is arranged to represent the fruit of the plant; while in old age their locks hang straggling down their backs, typical of the withered stalk of the dead or dying plant.

He was kidnapped in Baku a month ago, taken blind folded Into the mountalus, compelled to bulld the wall around the glrl and then was turned loose outside Bau. -For a week he led a party of soldiers in a, vain uttempt to find the girl. ‘The girl was condemned'to death In the tomb because she sloped 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 bylld a wall around her and leave her to her fate, Kavulitch was ktd- napped, and he was taken {nto the tountains to find the whole tribe diawn up to witness the living burial of the girl. The man protested against the work, but his Mfe wag threatened unless he obeyed. The girl was tied hand and foot to a stake. She !m- plored merey, but her cries were un- | heeded. A circle was drawn around her, and the mason was made to fol- Rince 20 erfth a wall ten feat thick. vattm's head, and a small opening wes made for alr, so that her suf- ferings might be prolonged. As soon as bis work was finished Kavu- liteh wee blindfolded again, He was wet at Hberty with 100 roubles In his pr ket, Hé came to Odessa and went mad In the street.

Dr. Herbert S. Johnson, pastor }of the Warren «Avenue Baptist Church, in thfs elty. | “I do not think It advisable to marry young couples who are In poot cfreumstances. I belleve, through observation “and co isultation, that A prospective bridegroom should j have an earning capacity of at least $15 a week before he should con- sider the matrimonial venture. This statement, of course, does not ap- | ply 1m all cases, for there are always exceptions, but I think the unfon of persons !n the middle class in this country, who are in poor cireum-, stances, creates nothing but a hell on eaith. “When I made the statement some time ago from the pulpit of my church that I would marry any cou- ple that wanted to get marrled if they did not have the marriage fee, | my remark was a facetious one, made half In jest and half {n 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 ts a pitlable sight tn a large city to see a young girl carrying a babe on her arm without a husband to show his lore, 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.

And that is why I stand ready to,holp uplift the sin- ters that are making a struggle te llve.an upright and honorable Iife, and our church will assist them in every reasonable manner, such as finding employmect for the husband, ete. “Now as to the marrlage of young sirls and fellows {n meagre circum- stances, There has been and fs con- stantly being brought to my atten- tion cases of hasty marriages whex nelther person {s {n a financial con- dition to warrant thelr marriage.

One copy per year in advance.. $2.00 Five months..... 1.00 Three months..... 50 Subscription monthly..... 20 WHERE IS DR. WASHINGTON? Under the above caption, The Brooklyn Eye, in its last issue, ran an editorial, from which we quote the following: "Having lost faith in the fairness of the United States Supreme Court, several bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church made a complaint before the Inter-State Commerce Commission in reference to discrimination on account of color practiced by southern railroads. The commission·dismisses the complaint and the matter is closed." "Why does not Dr. Booker T. Washington, in as much as he has been designated leader of Afro-Americans, lend the power of his influence towards securing a favorable decision when such matters as these come up?" Where was Dr. Washington when the earth quaked at San Francisco? Where was he when Messina in Italy fell? Where was he when Martinique was engulfed with the burning lava from old Mont Pelee? It is just as reasonable to ask the above questions as to ask where was Dr. Washington in the case before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The purpose of The Eye was to convey the impression that Dr. Washington had no sympathy with the case of the bishops, and that had he been interested a decision would have been rendered favorable to the bishops. The fact is this case was primarily and secondarily the bishops' case. They managed it exclusively, and had they succeeded would have taken all the glory. Now that they failed, by allowing their case to be conceded out of court, the enemies of Dr. Washington are not only willing, but anxious, that the Doctor accept the onus for defeat. We do not say that Dr. Washington, had he had the case to manage, would have secured a favorable decision, but we do say that had Dr. Washington been consulted as to how to proceed, the attorney he would have suggested would not have conceded the case out of court. These anti-Washingtonites deal exclusively in advice, while Dr. Washington deals in practical and tangible benefits. They deny him credit for what he does accomplish, and censure him for the failure of others to accomplish what they, set out to accomplish without asking or desiring his aid. To The Eye's question. "Where is Dr. Washington?" we can answer that he is constantly on his job of helping the very persons who, like a pack of curs, are barking at his heels. A NEGRO TICKET? The Bee has been under the impression that all fool Negroes had died out, but it sees from a dispatch to this city that it is mistaken. The dispatch states, which will be seen in another column of The Bee, that the Negroes of Virginia intend to nominate an entire State ticket. Just what they expect to accomplish The Bee doesn't know. In the first place, three-fourths of the Negroes in the State are disfranchised. Not one-fourth has paid the poll tax. What showing will the Negro voters make at the polls. Instead of advising the colored people to worry over a Negro ticket,The Bee would suggest that these men advise the colored men to stick to their farms and let Negro politicians attend to their own business and do their own voting. Suppose a Negro governor could be elected, what would he do? Former experience in other States demonstrated the fallacy of Negro and carpet-bag rule. The Bee would be pleased to see Negroes given the power to rule, but they should first learn the science of government. The Negro lacks the power of cohesion. He can't appreciate the elevation of one of their number. It would no the long, if a Negro governor were elected, before he would be assassinated by one of his own people. Every Negro in the State would want to be governor, and the revolution in Haiti would be only a mockery to those that would exist in the State of Virginia under Negro rule. If these men who are anticipating placing a Negro ticket in the field would stop to think for a moment they would advise the plow. the hoe. and the spade on a farm.. The condition of the colored Americans in this country is due to the unwise act of Negro politicians. They have been an impediment to the Negro Americans. They are for self, and not for the masses. The masses cannot be benefited by a few holding offices. There are more important things for the Negro to seek than after a few petty offices. "There must be no more trouble in the High School," remarked Captain James F. Oyster, President of the Board of Education. This is the way The Bee wants the Captain to talk and act accordingly. The President of the Board of Education is very sympathetic as well as positive. The importation of an outsider as Principal of the High School was a mistake. There are plenty of competent teachers in the schools from whom a selection could have been made. If John C. Nalle was qualified to retain his position as Supervising Principal, he is competent to be at the head of the Negro High School. Professor Montgomery would have made a good Principal. The Negro schools seem to be upside down. There is something radically wrong in our schools. Mr. Stafford would have made a good principal of the High School. This school agitation will result in harm to the schools. It is to be regretted. An investigation of conditions in the High School will disclose some facts that will warrant additional removals. At least two more transfers from the High to some other school will result in some good. HE HONORS US That dinner to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, by the men of Washington last Thursday night was a modest testimonial to a modest, but thoroughly capable man. And that dinner was also a complete answer to those men who doubted the wisdom of sending him as a Commissioner to Liberia, the men who said, "this is no time to send two-by-fours." As a commissioner he more than made good. He returned bringing honor to his race, and further evidence that, although there are far more noisy men than he, there are mighty few men his equal, and a far lesser number his superior. He has given proof that he is equal to big undertakings. We honor Emmett J. Scott because he honors us. EDUCATIONAL TRUST There are all kinds of trusts in this country, but the most notorious of them all is the Educational Trust. If some highly educated individual would attempt to establish or organize an industrial school or college, and if he went to certain educators he would be asked if his enterprise had the indorsement of the National Educational Board. If he had no such indorsement or approval, no matter how worthy his enterprise may be, he will be turned down. There are bogus and fake institutions in this country that are fakes. There is something in a name sometimes, and there are men with good names, but, without funds and men with bad names with the necessary funds, WHICH WAY One can generally tell the direction of the wind by feeling it when it blows. The sentiment of the citizens' meeting at True Reformers" Hall last Monday evening against one of the speakers is an evidence of how the people feel on the Negro school question. It is to the regret of the taxpayers that there should be such a division in the Negro schools. If there has been any favoritism shown it should be investigated. The Bee is informed that an official requested another official to mark down a certain teacher Now, if such things exist in the Negro schools they should be remedied immediately.

Captain Woolen's estate will be settled by three commissioners. Mr. Douglass P. Syphax, the well known and active real estate dealer, is one of the commissioners appointed. Mr. Syphax is a Washingtonian who has been in the real estate business for a number of years and he comes from one of the best known and one of the leading families in the city. There is no man more qualified than he is to settle the estate of Captain Woolen. No man has handled more of Captain Woolen's money than Mr. Syphax. Within the last year Mr. Syphax has handled thousands of dollars of Captain Woolen's money, and The Bee is confident that every cent will be accounted for. Mr. Syphax is an honest young man in whom implicit confidence may be placed. It was on account of his honesty and integrity Professor Roscoe C. Bruce had a few friends at his house last Saturday evening to meet Mr. Emmet J. Scott. The affair was thoroughly informal.

That is the score made last Thursday by "Uncle" Perry Carson, one of the best known Negroes in the District. Alice M. Carter,fifty-two years old, is the bride. "I just got married to keep a promise and because I am getting old and want some one to take care of me," said Uncle Perry, when seen at his hom, 920 Third street, northwest, last night. Uncle Perry Carson is one of the oldest Negroes in the District. He had been connected with the municipal government for forty years up to the time he resigned about ten month ago. He has been a delegate to several Republican conventions. He was first appointed to office by S. J. Bowen, first Republican mayor of Washington. When the form of government was changed and the present plan adopted, he was reappointed by Governor Cook. Colonel Carson was a power in the District during the days of suffrage, wielding an immense influence and having a large following. In addition to the offices he filled referred to above, he served the late Governor Shepard as confidential messenger. EXECUTIVE ORDER. James M. Alexander, of Los Ange- les, a colored man, may be appointed as Cashier under the Collector for the Sixth Internal Revenue District of California, without respect to civil service regulations. This ored is made because of the intention of President Roosevelt to make it at the time the District was created, but he was unable to carry out his intention because there was not sufficient money available until the beginning of the new fiscal year to organize the office. The ground upon which President Roosevelt intended to make the order was that Mr. Alexander was a colored man, that the colored population of California had not been properly recognized, and that the Collector of the new district was greatly desirous of having a man appointed in whose fidelity and capacity for the discharge of the particular position he had great confidence by reason of a personal acquaintance. William H. Taft. The White House, June 28, 1909. (No. 1099). The pastor, Rev. M. W. Clair, Ph. D., the officers and special committees of Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, 11th and K streets, northwest, have closed for the season the rally in the interest of the building fund for the new church edifice with a big meeting, which was addressed by Professor E. L. Parks, D.D., of Howard University; Rev. C. H. Young and Rev. R. E. Jones. Following these exercises, reports showed that the fund raised during the past six months from all sources was $1,924, and for the entire time since it was decided to build a house of worship, $36,000. This does not include other funds to be used for the same purpose and which were not raised by these building fund rallies. The new Calvary Protestant Episcopal Chapel, located in the northeast, Rev.

As regards Mr. Williams' qualifications as principal, Charles F. Thwing, President of Western Reserve University, says: "Mr. E. C. Williams is considering the question of retiring from the librarianship of this college(Adelbert.) Mr. Williams is a graduate of Adelbert College of the class of 1892, being the first scholar. Soon after his graduation he became connected with this library, and was presently promoted to its headship. At the time of the establishment of the library school, four years ago, he became instructor in bibliography, reference works, criticising and selection of books. In particular as a reference librarian I believe him the best in Cleveland, and among the best of my librarians. As a teacher he is apt, forcible, impressive, successful. Mr. Williams is also a good friend; I especially delight in his friendship. "In any place which he is willing to accept, Mr. Williams will give a good account of himself."

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 inclining downward. Nothing produces either ivory or horn in fine specimens throughout Ceylon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they will not bear a comparison with those of other countries. The horns of the native cattle are not above four inches in length. The elk and the spotted deers antlers are small compared with deer of their size in India. This is more singular, as it is evident from the geological formation that at some remote period Ceylon was not an island, but formed a portion of the main land. It is thought there must be elements wanting in the Ceylon pasturage for the formation of ivory.—Ceylon Manual. Smokeless Coal. A London inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after distillation, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Electrocuting Animals The slaughter of animals for food by electrocution is being experimented by Dr. Leduc, a French scientist, who has been conducting his investigations in the French abbattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is painless, the central functions of perception being first destroyed and then 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 celery. The Shy Man. Women show no mercy to the abys man, for he stands outside of the compass of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently curled. 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 dimid no holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakix, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mille o his lips.—London Observer. Knapping Pictures Dangerom. "Railroad casualties receive 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 1666. Valuable East African Forest The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kemla forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 127 miles long by eight miles broad, and comprises 1,000,000 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 21d. per cubic foot, this works out to £23 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £23,000,000.-London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historians. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine cases cut of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an older writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman. A man's idea of being stylishly dressed is to wear something in which he looks atrociously bad; a woman's to wear something no other woman can duplicate. A Thousand Men Are Ped Every Night. At this Place Fleischmann's May Be Men in Actual Need—it the Aim of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Fowery as I approuche them looked me over when they saw I was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the coat I had borrowed for the evening was none too thick, and the old shoes I wore were not waterproof. If my object poverty was assumed, I felt a semblance of the real thing, for I was cold and tired after tramping up and down the muddy streets for an hour. "Where kni a seller 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' doln' 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 in there." S we ambled up the Bowery to Eighth street, and from there to Tenth street and Fourth avenue. Already the waiting line extended from th rear door of the bakery around the corner to the entrance of Grace church. I dropped into the procession which in a few moments reached up Broadway to Twelfth street. I had been in the line but a short time when a clock nearby sounded for midnight. The line began to move along and the waiting men on either side of me cheered up a bit. There was very little conversation, however. Now and then some of them muttered curses, and once when a sightseeing automobile stopped at the corner the curses became quite audible. After the line of waiting men—over 600 in number, as I ascertained—had had their bread and coffee, most of them dispersed, though a few "repeated" in order to get a second helping. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowyery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowyery 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 holpers of unfortunate humanity. Bronze Statue of Schiller. The bronze statue of Schiller by Hermann Matzen, which is to be erected in Cleveland by German citizens, has been completed in Berlin. The poet is seated in an arm chair. A Berlin paper is quoted as remarking apropos that "the German who goes to America becomes an American in all that the word implies, but even unto the third generation he is loyal to German poetry and German song." Good Roads. Out of the 900 towns in the State of New York, 600 have voted to have their roads built under the Fuller-Plank Act, or, as it is generally called, the money system. The matter is now optional with the towns, but in the opinion of persons who have given the matter considerable attention the idea of making it compulsory is favored.—Good Roads Magazine.

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," sald Dennison. "How much blood do you want?" asked Owen. "Fifteen ounces." "How much do I get?" "Ten dollars." "I'm your man," and the bargain was struck. The rate was 66 2-3 cents an onuce. Up to Bellevue Hospital marched Dennison and Owen. The surgeons examined the man who was willing to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for $10, and told him he would do. The nature of the operation then was explained to him. He was told that the patient was suffering from what is known as sarcoma, a malignant growth. To save the boy's life it was necessary to take from his body about sixteen ounces of the impure blood and transfuse in the body about fifteen ounces of healthy fluid. "I don't want to be chloroformed during the operation." Owen said. "No anaesthetics will be given," replied one of the surgeons. "We'll deaden the pain by an injection of cocaline." "Go ahead," said Owen. "I'm ready." Dennison was placed on the operating table and Owen was laid on another table. Between the two was a narrow table upon which the boy and the man each placed an arm. The surgeons made an incision in the boy's upper arm and blood was permitted to flow from the upper part of the median vein, while the lower part was closed. In this way the boy was relieved of about sixteen ounces of his impure and unnourished blood. An incision then was made in the forearm of the man. The surgeons rapidly connected the lower ligament of the man's radial artery with the upper vein of the boy's arm, and the blood of the man began to pass into the body of the boy'. Dennison and Owen watched each other coolly throughout the operation. Not a whimper came from the boy, not a groan from the man. When the operation was over the boy's temperature showed marked improvement. Owen was weak after the operation. He took a stimulant and then left the hospital, not forgetting, of course, to collect his $10 before leaving. BURGLARS' GAZETTE IN RUSSIA. "Trades Paper" Contains All the News of the "Craft." St. Petersburg.—A "trade paper" for burglars 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. Parla Abates a Nuisance Paris abates a nuisance.

AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C WORTH ADVERTISING FOR 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. In a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these. 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs. DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS. Lighthouses on the Maine Coast Attract and Kill Thousands. One of the keepers who came ashore from Boon Island recently tells the story of the strange death encountered by thousands of the migrating birds every spring. Flying along the coast at night they are instantly attracted by the powerful light from the watch tower, as moths are drawn to a watch. Thousands of these birds in their passage north fly with full force against the thick glass of the brilliantly lighted lantern. Stunned to death they fall to the rocks below or scale away for a little distance and flutter helplessly into the water. The light of morning sometimes reveals the rocks covered with the little creatures whose journey to their summer homes has met this sudden and fatal termination. Hundreds of species are found among the unfortunate little tourists. Most of them are easily recognized as belonging to the various common classes of song birds. But very often large birds of beautiful plumage come to their final resting place in this manner upon the bleak rocks, of Boon Island. On one occasion several years ago the thick glass of the lantern was shivered to atoms by the impact of some strange bird of powerful bill.—York Transcript. Flies 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. A5 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.

Davis. BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND The Clever Little Weasel and H Means of Defense. Take another of our animals, fierce little weasel, clad in summer in a coat of brown, in winter turning white, but always with a jet black tip to the tall. 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 on an owl in the moonlight, it would have but short shrift with all its sinuous leaping, were it not that the black tall tip is so conspicuous that it constantly attracts the eye and allows the pure white of the body to be confused with the snow. Eren when we place a dead weasel on the snow and look at it from a distance, we realize how true this is, and how valuable must be the pencil tufts of black hairs to this little vermin who spends his life in hunting or being hunted.—The Outing Magazine. Everyone of Them a Bird. A current newspaper item is as follows: "The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swan, and another was a Jay; but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. "They live on Hawk-ave., Eagleville, Canary Islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Life. Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession—Alaska. In winter, when the more than 60,000 square miles of territory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are almost the sole means of getting from place to place—in fact, they seem necessary to life itself. The aristocrats of Arctic dog life are the mall teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mall service.—St. Nicholas. Names that Don't Name. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic acid is not an acid but an alcohol. Cobalt contains none of that metal but arsenic. Soda water has no trace of soda, and sugar of lead has no sugar; cream of tartar has nothing of cream, nor milk of lime any milk. German silver has no silver and blacklead no lead. Dogs Around Blacksmith Shops. Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loafing about every blacksmith shop. This fact is so well recognized that detectives when sent out after valuable dogs that have been lost invariably visit first all the blacksmith shops in the neighborhood. The reason why dogs visit the blacksmith shops is that they love inordinately the odor and the taste of burning hooves. They sniff the odor as a woman sniffs a rose, and they eat the hoof parings as a gourmet eats truffles.—Minneapolis Journal. Simply 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 $88,000,000, 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 Curtain. 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 gour out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have have been used in a city. Life in Germany. Every one who has travelled in Germany is familiar with the word "verboten"—forbidden. He finds it is verboten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States.

AIGHT RIDERS AIDED KENTUCKY cieneemeiiniatel iene: — ae About Good Roads, e COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAW Ceimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Assocation Which Oansed the Abolishment of the Turnpike Com- panies. 3 og Louisville, Ky.—There bas not deen, it Is sald, a erime of mob vio- lence committed In this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Bouthern States or In any of the Middle Western States {n the past Several years, with the exception of the occastonal lynching of a negro by & mod, that has not been should- ered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organ- ‘eed body back tn 1900, when the Btate Legislature passed a law do- fag away with private ownership of ate rogds. For months the turn- pike corporations refysed to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Bupreme 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 thelr toll gates and chercing two cents a mile fer every horee or vebicle that passed over their property. Because of the Jaw’s delay the Genditioa of the roads became im- Pascidte. The owners of the turn- pikes would mot expend ene cent for Imprerements as long as there was qestion of thelr losing thelr Property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct trav- ellers, All this while they refused te accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads, Tt was then that the Night Riders @ere organized, The organization spread from Shelby County to every Part ef the State, and one night In -the Jate fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. ‘There ts ne record ef a toll gate keeper being Injured unless he show- ed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and ff he continued te be defiant he was flogged. In ainety-mine enses out ef a hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up bis job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left stand- ing In the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpay- ers and farmers been contented to allow the taw to take its never end- ing course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up tra yelleras 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 fn the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay Int. erest, and the State tax has improv: ed them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprtn- kled with off during the summer segon, {hus Iaying the dust. The success of the Night Riders im the war against toll gates-led to an organization of a similar char acter when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Com: pany. But out of this last organiza. tlon there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, Iawless bodies of men In many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to cal themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn’t own so much a3 3 * horse to ride.
