VOL.XXX NO 8 Door Of Libertv Closed THE NEGRO WITHOUT A MOSES IN THE WILDERNESS-GOD HAS SAID TRUST IN HIM-MR. CUNNINGHAM SPEAKS The Negro is now, it seems, in a political wilderness. without a well trusted Moses to lead him safely through. But let us take fresh courage, for God has said, "If you will trust in me I will be a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night." These words were spoken to the children of Israel as they journeyed through the wilderness. And the same holds good today relative to the Negro in his political bondage. It seems that everything is being done by the enemies of justice to impede the political progress of the colored people of this century in this dear home of the brave and the land of the free(?). Maryland. along with her other sister states, that seem to have forgotten that God still lives, has closed the door of liberty in the face of her colored citizens. The ballot, the only weapon of defense with which the Negro had to fight, has been taken from him. What then, must he do? Look to God! Watch the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. Let this race first be true to God, and to itself, alike, and the dark clouds and heavy winds will some day give way to a brighter day. There seems to be an epidemic of "Negrophobia," in the State of Maryland. That state has been suffering with this terrible disease for quite a number of years, and threatens to grow worse, and spread into other states, if not quarantined or put out of business by the strong arm of Federal intervention. He is a coward that would arm himself and proceed to attack a man that he knows is not armed and prepared to meet him. But strange to say, to her lasting shame, this country, in recent years, has drifted far enough from the path of justice to applaud such as heroism. Why should men strive to deny to others the same privileges they themselves wish to enjoy? Perhaps Maryland can best answer that question, since she was the last to rob her colored citizens of their God-given rights to cast a ballot; or sit on the jury, or ride in a decent railroad car after having paid honest fare. Deprived of his right to cast his vote—a privilege that is granted to all the foreigners from the slums of Europe—it will be many years now before the Negro will have a chance to stand up in the State legislatures, or in the United States Congress, and plead for justice in behalf of his much persecuted race. George W. White was the last Negro representative we had in the United States Congress, and we very much fear he used too much of his lung power in telling how much wealth the Negroes of this country have accumulated since their emancipation, when he ought to have been telling of their need of aid from their white friends. Boasting about what the race has gained in so short a time of freedom had a tendency to injure, rather than help the race, and it is a pity that the learned George White was too mentally blind to see it that way. The black man, be he ever so highly respected by his own people, and some of the whites as well, is nothing like respected by the white politicians of this country as he was in years gone by. And why? It is because the laws which gave him the right to cast his ballot have been set aside, and unjust laws prohibiting such rights have taken their place. A man without arms (firearms) is never feared by the coward who is armed to the teeth. But even the well armed coward is ever polite and ready to doff his hat to the man that he knows is prepared to meet him. So it is in politics. The man, or his race, that is shorn of his rights (that little weapon, the ballot), is very little respected by the man that has all such privileges. The most influential Negro in politics today can hardly get a respectful hearing by the white politicians of his own state or in the national Congress. They know, and are glad, that the colored people have been stripped of the ballot, their only arms of defense, and they no longer fear them along that line. But the colored people have simply fell back in good order. Through all of the injustice done them they are going to rally and come again! So let us trust in God, "And if we meet with trials (as we have). And troubles on the way. Cast all our cares on Jesus, And don't forget to pray." An enthusiastic mass meeting was held Friday night, July 23, by the citizens of Fairmount Heights under the auspices of the Fairmount Heights Citizens' Association. The meeting was held in the new public hall on Chapel avenut, which has just been completed and formally turned over by the contractor, Mr. Gillian, of 61st street. After the unanimous election of Sergeant Coleman as President, and Mr. Charles Payne Secretary of the meeting, the general welfare of the sub-division was discussed. The improvement and extension of the District Boulevard was made the subject of an encouraging report by a committee appointed by the association to take the matter up with the District Commissioners. It was the sense of the meeting that in vity of the interest taken by President Taft in seeking to reclaim certain portions of the District of Columbia, seceded to the states, the effort to clearly define and improve the boulevard which marks the boundary line of the District should receive a new impetus. Great satisfaction was expressed over the improvements just completed by the District on the Sheriff Road and the District Boulevard. Resolutions were passed requiring each householder owning houses or lots in the sub-division of Fairmount Heights to pay an annual due of one dollar for the further improvement of streets. The light service will also be more satisfactory through the encouragement of the citizens to maintain individual lights in addition to those maintained by the public. TUSKEGEE'S LIBRARY OF THE BEST TYPE Mr. Andrew Carnegie recently published over his own signature an interesting article in Collier's Weekly describing various types of libraries which he has given throughout the world. While he has given thousands of library buildings, he published only nine photographs of those buildings as indicating the best types. Among the nine there was the photograph of the library building at the Tuskegee Institute. The architect of this building was Mr. R. R. Taylor, instructor in architecture at Tuskegee. Professors Cromwell, Clask and Sullivan are winning high praise for their very able instruction in the subjects taught in the Summer School. It is a wonder some of the universities like Howard, Wilberforce or Union does not secure the permanent services or a historian like Mr. Cromwell. It is a credit to the Virginia Seminary and to the Petersburg Industrial Institute that they appreciated the worth of this historian in his life time and invited him to lecture before these 800 young people on the various phases of the history of our country. FOR WOMEN The National Training School for Women and Girls will open October 4. At a meeting of the Trustee Board at Nashville, during the month of June, they elected Miss N. H. Burroughs, President of the institution. She has been working very hard to get out the catalogue and in getting things ready for the opening. She is coming to Washington for the purpose of doing a unique educational work, that will reach the masses of our people. The Bee realizes that they are not being reached by churches, nor Women's Clubs, Young Men's Christian Associations, nor anyone or anything else. The catalogues for the school will be ready very soon. WASHINGTON REV. EMORY W. W. D. D. BINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY EV. EMORY W. WILLIAMS, D. D. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 31, 1909 M. B.

THE GRADUATING CLASS OF YOUNG LADIES OF THE WILLIAMS AND FERGUSON ACADEMNY AT ABBEVILLE. S. C. DR. WASHINGTON'S RECENT TRIP THROUGH PORTIONS OF VIRGINIA. Special to The Bee. A gentleman who accompanied Dr. Booker T. Washington during his recent trip over the Virginia Railway, recites the following incidents as being significant and remarkable in connection with his trip: In the first place, it may interest the public to know that a special train was used during the whole of this trip, and that the private car used by Dr. Washington and party was the "Rocket," the same car that former President Roosevelt used on most of his tours throughout the country. At one point, where a large meeting was held, the great grandson of Patrick Henry was brought to the station by his parents for the special purpose of having Dr. Washington shake his hand. The parents seemed to find much delight in having the privilege of doing so. At several points where the train stopped, not only were the houses of colored people decorated with flags, but many residences of white people also. Another thing that was noticeable in connection with the trip was the large attendance of white people at all of the meetings. At several places the attendance of white people was as large or larger than that of the Negro people. At Christiansburg, former Governor Tyler and a party of his friends rode fifteen miles to be present at the meeting. At Suffolk, Virginia, not only did the Mayor ride with Dr. Washington, through the streets of the city in his automobile, but the city council also followed in another automobile throughout the entire parade which had been arranged. The attendance of the best class of white women at the meetings was also especially notable and satisfactory. One other thing of importance: At every point the colored merchant was in evidence, and it was interesting to see ho whte white people consider the news of the colored business men in matters of mutual importance. At one point in Virginia, at Kenbridge, the leading white man of the town remarked to Dr. Washington that Negroes had money invested in nearly every business enterprise in the community and that the white people make it a point to get colored people to invest in every enterprise which the white people have established, thereby creating a community of interest.

Helping The South IN THE INTEREST OF EDUCATION—A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE PRESENT A most brilliant popular mass meeting in the interest of Ferguson and Williams College, at Abbeville, South Carolina, was held on Thursday evening last, July 22. in the 15th Street Presbyterian Church. The Church was brilliantly lighted. Rev. W. V. Tunnell, of Howard University presided over the meeting. Mrs. Robert A. Pelham presided at the organ. The Scriptures were read by Rev. W. V. Tunnell, and prayer was offered by Rev. Peele Penix. Professor Layton then rendered one of his soul-stirring solo which was most highly appreciated by the audience. Professor W. V. Tunnell then made a short introductory address, after which he called upon Rev. E. W. Williams. D.D., the president and founder of the school at Abbeville, who made a short but telling address and statement about his work. Rev. Williams was followed by Professor George W. Cook. of Howard University, who made an address in which he stated that he had known Rev. Williams more than thirty years, as an earnest, self-denying worker for the race, and that he himself, as well as Howard University, was proud of Rev. Williams as a man who had gone out and done something. Professor Cook was followed by Professor L. B. Moore. Dean of the Teachers' College of Howard University. Professor Moore made a strong and earnest appeal for a larger sympathy and deeper interest of the colored people themselves in their own enterprises. Professor Moore was followed by Mrs. Rosetta Lanson, who had twice visited Ferguson and Williams College at Abbeville. South Carolina, and could bear personal testimony to the kind and character of the good work done in the institution for the practical uplift of the race. Mrs. Lanson was followed by Mrs. E. V. Williams, principal of Ferguson and Williams College, who made a brief address showing the necessity and importance of moving the school from its present location and of building upon the foundation that has been so well laid during the last thirty years at Abbeville. Miss V. L. Williams, the accomplished daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Williams, rendered a beautiful solo at the close of which Mr. M. E. Maxfield, an old friend and schoolmate of Rev Williams, arose and asked permission to say a word. After stating that himself and the Rev. Dr. Emory Williams had been boys together, and what great pleasure he now had in meeting his old frined after forty years, he said he was willing to show his appreciation by starting the collection with ten dollars. The remarks of Mr. Maxfield were greeted with great applause by the audience. Professor Cook then arose and said "I will give ten dollars." This brought renewed applause. Then Professor Tunnell said "I will give ten dollars," and the applause was continued. Professor Moore said "I will give ten dollars," and this was the signal for the most enthusiastic applause of the evening. After this different ones in all parts of the house arose and said "I will give five dollars." until nearly one hundred dollars was raised. Some announcements were then made, the doxology was sung and the benediction was pronounced by Dr. Tunnell and the audience dispersed with feelings of gladness that they had had the opportunity to participate in a good work. SUES LODGE FOR DEATH BENEFIT Alleging that the United States Grand Lodge of t the Independent Order of Sons of Benjamin, a beneficial association, has refused to pay a death benefit of $1,000 due her, Mrs. Bertha Barnett, through Attorneys Darr, Peyser and Taylor, has sued the lodge. She says her husband, Morris Barnett, was insured by the order and she is entitled to the benefit by reason of his demise. This case is attracting wide attention among the officials of the various beneficial organizations in this city.

Erasmus seized hig gun and ran hard in the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the Mons lying around one of the don- keys, He fired and killed a Dig Noness, The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) Moness.

"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 best money. The Swaying Skyscraper Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall 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 mount the marshy parts of North America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copu rat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabiru, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoons, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prospection.—Scotsman. The Gingko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil Sora of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which. It is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oolite series, at Brora, Scotland, are so similar to the Ming 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 Platter, 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 forolen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of the crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each test can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balkac 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 Clerer 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. Mme. Davis, 6 AND CARD READER TELLS 'ABOUT BUSINESS. 1228 25th St. N.W.

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 Bun. Some Valuable Stor 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 scepte 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. Singing Pigeons The queer Chinese change pigeons into song-birds by fastening whistles to their breasts. The wind of their flight then causes a wierd and plaintive music that is seldom silenced in the pigeon-haunted cities of Pekin and Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon-flyers, fasten whistles beneath the wings of the valuable racing carriers, asserting that the shrill noise is a sure protection against hawks and other birds of prey. As a similar protection, reeds, emitting an odd walling sound, are fixed to the tall feathers of the dispatch-bearing pigeons of the German army, For the Knocker. 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.

John Utterances on Subject of Ill-Advised Marriages. POVERTY MARRIAGES DISAPPROVED Boston Pastor Discourages Mating on Insufficient Earnings.—Those with Communicable Diseases, Inherited or Acquired, Should Remain Single. Boston, Mass.—"I will refuse to marry persons afflicted with consumption or any hereditary or communicable disease if I have personal knowledge of such alliments existing, and I am also opposed to marrying divorced people, except in the case of the innocent party." said Rev. Dr. Herbert S. Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist Church, in this city. "I do not think it advisable to marry young couples who are in poor circumstances. I believe, through observation and consultation, that a prospective bridegroom should have an earning capacity of at least $15 a week before he should consider the matrimonial venture. This statement, of course, does not apply in all cases, for there are always exceptions, but I think the union of persons in the middle class in this country, who are in poor circumstances, creates nothing but a hell on earth. "When I made the statement some time ago from the pulpit of my church that I would marry any couple that wanted to get married if they did not have the marriage fee, my remark was a facetious one, made half in jest and half in earnest, but I will gladly perform the ceremony for any unfortunate couple that might have sinned, free of cost, if they apply to me and give evidence of good faith. It is a pitiable sight in a large city to see a young girl carrying a babe on her arm without a husband to show his love, or a father to provide for her and her offspring. "I was, perhaps, led to make the statement that I would marry all such couples that applied to me through a case that came to me not long ago. Our church is so situated in the heart of the city that practicability is our chief aim. I became interested in a young girl who had sinned, and I appeared in court in her behalf. She was dressed in mourning and carried her babe on her arm. It developed that when her aged mother learned of the sin and disgrace of her daughter, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. And that is why I stand ready to help uplift the sinners that are making a struggle to live an upright and honorable life, and our church will assist them in every reasonable manner, such as finding employment for the husband, etc. "Now as to the marriage of young girls and fellows in meagre circumstances. There has been and is constantly being brought to my attention cases of hasty marriages when neither person is in a financial condition to warrant their marriage. Fifteen dollars a week is little enough to defray the expenses of a home with its furnishings, its doctor's aid nurse's bills, the support of children and the mite that should be given to charity by all Christians. Of course, when I place the weekly salary at $15 I refer only to the middle classes, that is Irish-Americans, or those of Anglo-Saxon extraction, and so forth. I don't refer to the lower class of people from Europe who can exist on much less. "And in regard to persons afflicted with tuberculosis or other diseases of a hereditary nature to which man and woman are subject, it is my belief that a man or woman unfortunate enough to be effected with communicable diseases should be unselfish enough when they are aware of these diseases existing to be contant 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 thelrs and they should not be compelled to suffer for the sins of the guilty." ```markdown ``` THE REE Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D.

Bishop Lampton is being roundly censured for his letter of abject apology written to the white men of of his town, on being ordered out of the place. There is no question but what the apology is abject—it is sickening so, and yet there is an excuse, for circumstances alter cases. It is all very well for some of these Northern Negro Editors to breathe fire and drink fire water, while enjoying the protection of their northern homes. But what one of them—even to the Guardian man, will go South tomorrow, or next week and say and write the things they say and write in their northern homes? Bishop Lampton's property, his houses, and his lands, representing years of denying and saving, and upon which he must depend to care for his family and support himself in his old age, are located in the South-right in the town out of which he was ordered. These things no doubt were a controlling factor in the writing of that letter. Some of these nervy, fire-eating, martyr-loving Negro editors who eke out a precarious existence, and who preach war and extermination, ought to go South and preach their doctrine of force and reprisal, in order to be consistent. This always bombarding the enemy a thousand miles away with guns that carry their missles but a mile, is a favorite pasttime of some Negro editors. If you have all the nerve you claim, and if you are as courageous as you would make people believe, why not go into the jungles of the South and hunt, slay and kill the white Southerner? If given a ticket, and guaranteed their expenses, and a good living, and a paid-up life insurance policy in the bargain, even Trotter would not go South and preach the defiance that he is preaching in Boston. We agree that Bishop Lampton's letter was an abject apology, and too abject, but gentlemen the North is not the South. Boston will spare Mr. Trotter for a few weeks until he goes South and rights our wrongs, and Brooklyn will spare Mr. Lark for the same period, and for the same mission. Now gentlemen, what train for the South? NEGRO·MEN Some Negroes have peculiar characteristics. Many of them will see their women insulted by white men without the least resentment. If the Negro had more respect for their women and girls The Bee is confident that the more fortunate whites would have more respect for him. The Negro himself has but little respect for his females. Hundreds of young girls graduate from the public schools yearly, but what is there for them to do? Those who secure places are very often insulted. Because a woman or girl walks out there is no reason that she should not be respected. A white man will see a colored girl upon the public streets and ten chances to one she is followed and insulted. If she resents the insult, some uncomplimentary remark is passed on the girl by those to whom she looks for protection. The white girl, no matter what her standing is, will receive the protection of her men. This city has been imposed upon by a lot of blacklegs. They come here from other cities and states and are admitted to some church. They are immediately made a trustee or a deacon. That moment they control the church as well as the sisters. Then disgrace will follow. Young girls need the protection of their men and they should always demand respect, although they may fail to get a husband. It is better for a young girl to die an old maid, than to tie up with one of the many worthless men walking the streets or employed in some government department. It is not the man who holds a government job that is laways entitled to the hand of a young lady. Our girls are in danger and The Bee gives this warning to them: marriage is a divine institution, but, no young woman should enter into it if she is not going to better her condition. The man who respects a woman will not offer her an insult. CHAY-B CLUB The trouble in the High School was caused by the Chay-B Club, and when two of its members were transferred to the Armstrong, it was a blessing in disguise. Dr. Evans will give them an opportunity to show what they know. This club has always been a menace to the High School. The club is supposed to be composed of college graduates, namely, Cornell, Harvard, Amherst, Yale and Brown. Howard University was not allowed membership, and yet the Howard graduates were far superior to any of these upstarts. The Howard graduates have made a record and continue to make a record all over the world. The Bee has never seen a graduate from any of the above Chay-B Club's amount-to a pinch of snuff. Graduates of these colleges have been failures as teachers in the Negro schools of the city. Not one has made a record. Dr. Bruce Evans is no college graduate, and yet there is not a college graduate in the schools today his equal. Mr. John C. Nalle is no college graduate, and had it not been for his arrogance and his lack of appreciation for his friends, he would have had the undivided support of the people and been placed high upon the scales of fame. Mr. Nalle is a good teacher and it is hoped that he has been taught a lesson. The Bee would suggest to Mr. Bruce that he get rid of the other members of the Chay-B Club in the High School, or place them under Dr. Evans where they can be taught some sense. If any one can point out a successful teacher from any college, in our public schools let him stand forth and point him out. The Chay-B Club is a monumental farce and a menace to the High School. The African Methodist Episcopal bishops, who instituted the case against the Southern Railroad before the Interstate Commerce Commission, collected money from colored men to fight the case, and then employed a cheap white lawyer, who conceded the case out of court, as their attorney. Why did they not at least employ a colored attorney as an associate? The poorest colored attorney to be found could not have made a more sorry failure than did this white attorney. These African Methodist Episcopal bishops live off their race, are preaching union to them every Sunday, and yet take their money and employ an opponent to help them lose their case. It would have been better, far better, had they never filed their case in court. The action of the bishops in employing a secondrate white lawyer with money collected from colored men and women,'ignoring colored lawyers altogether, even as an associate, comes dangerously close to placing them in the list of hypocrites. Now that the school question is settled for the time being, it behooves every one, with an ounce of race pride and interest in the children, to help smooth down the wrinkled front—help bring order out of chaos. Let the dead past bury its dead. LEARN TRADES Yes, the Negro needs a trade and he needs it badly. Just think of it! The City of Washington, with a Negro population of ninety thousand, and only one Negro plumber. If you started out on a hunt for him he could not be found. Trades! why certainly, the Negro needs all kinds of trades. Industrial schools are what the Negro needs. Without trades he is without a weapon of defense. The, Ferguson and Williams Academy, at Abbeville, South Carolina, was among the first in the South to introduce industrial education. WE STAND FIRM Those saloons that took exception to the editorial endorsement of the resolutions that were adopted by the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, are no good to the community or to the association.

Maxfield Mr. Bettie Taylor Dandrige, the daughter of President Zachary Taylor, died July 25. Mrs. Dandrige was the sister in law of Jefferson Davis, also Surgeon-General Wood, of the United States Army. An immense warehouse will be erected by the Pennsylvania Railroad, at a cost of $500,000. The structure will cover over 25 acres, and contain one hundred separate storage buildings, with the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad running into each. The Navy Department has decided to send the entire fleet of battleships now off the Atlantic coast to the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. It is said that the Colorado suffragettes are planning to elect a woman to Congress next year. Captain Joseph Kent, a Civil War veteran, has just received a bronze medal which was authorized by Congress in 1864. After forty-five years honor came to whom honor was due. The mint in Philadelphia has now ready $200,000 in pennies with the Lincoln head on them. They will be circulated about August 2. There are now 1,650,000,000 pennies of old style now in circulation. The Lincoln head pennies were, designed by Victor Brenner of New York, and approved of by President Roosevelt. Mrs. M. E. Jordan, who died last week, was one of the last survivors of the old regime of colored women. She was one of the oldest members of the Metropolitan African Methodist church, and was the mother of five children, all of whom are living and have been factors in the uplift of the colored American race. Missionary work by a band of workers from Shiloh Baptist Church, has been instituted among the alley dwelling Negroes. The work has been instituted in seven alleys and the outset gives encouraging signs of great success. They not only hold meetings, but make personal visits to the home, give individual help and teach sanitary methods. This is real, practical missionary work, and they can but flave the best results. We need more such missionaries. Over half a million dollars profit has been made o ffthe Georgia peach crop this year. 2000 carloads of peaches this year brought $1,000,000, or about the same price as 6000 carloads last year. This is due to the Georgia growers organizing into a mutual benefit exchange, modeled on the lines of the California fruit dealers. The late Major Richard W. Tyler, who died last Monday, was a veteran of the Civil War. His career as a soldier was brilliant and marked many daring deeds. He participated in many conflicts from 1861-1865, and was one of Berdan's sharpshooters. The colored Americans should love and honor such self-sacrificing heroes as their type now are few and far between. George Howard, colored, is said to be a man without a country. He was deported from here as an undesirable alien. England will probably ship him back. Ellis Island officials say Howard's case is without parallel, as he will have to live on the water until a country is found for him. Nick Childs, the Editor of the Topeka Plain Dealer, is trying to organize a squirrel rifle brigade to march against Mississippi and capture it. The New York Age offers to pay all expenses. It is said that Childs is very plucky, and will go if he can get ten thousand armed men to accompany him. Does this age call for a second Nat Turner? The article "Is The Negro Satisfied," which appeared in The Southern Reporter, was indeed interesting and to the point. The Editor asks, "Is the Negro satisfied with the present discriminations, Jim Crow cars, unjust and unequal public school facilities, and division of school funds, with the jury system of the South? No! not by any means, as some Northern correspondents have said." The Editor says, "the Negro asks for no greater things than these; Liberty, Fraternity, Justice, and Equality. With anything less than these the Negro will never be satisfied." Some one is thinking. In Alabama the curfew law has been established. It is said that all Negroes must be in their homes by 10 P. M. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who has given thousands of dollars for libraries throughout the country, in his article in Collier's Weekly, gives only nine photographs of these buildings for publication, indicating the best. Among the nine was a photograph of the library building at Tuskegee Institute. Mr. R. R. Taylor, instructor in architecture at Tuskegee, was the architect for the library, building. A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE Honorable Simon Guggenheim, 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. Guggenheim 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 the future 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 Guggenheim to represent Colorado at the time when the rights and liberties 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. "The Negro peasant is wholly unprepared for the complications, the competitions, the moral stress of city life: and little or no provision is made to train him in the arts and industries by which he might sustain himself. Memphis, Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans, Louisville, Baltimore, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and New York—nine cities—in which the Negro population varies from two per cent of the total in New York, to forty-nine per cent in Mem- phis, and from 36,000 in St. Louis, to 87,000 in Washington, contain a total black population of over half a million souls, and in not one of these cities does there exist a trade school for Negroes ever remotely comparable to the Baron de Hirsch School in New York City, for immigrant Jews. It is certainly to the interest of these cities to place within reach of their Negro populations not only the usual facilities of good grammar schools and good high schools, but also adequate training directly for economic independence. Note—The statistics above employed are taken from the census of 1900. WHY THEY FAILED The colored Bishop's fight on Jim Crow cars, as set forth before the Interstate Commerce Commission, was such a feeble, conciliatory, apologetic, "smite me on the other side also" kind of affair, that we wonder not at their lamentable failure.—Cincinnati Union. LOUISVILLE GETTING READY Arrangements Nearly All Complete For the Entertainment of the National Negro Business League Big Attendance Expected Louisville, Ky., July 21. The arrangements for the entertainment of the annual convention of the National Negro Business League are nearing completion. The date of the opening is August.18—scarcely one month away—but the committees have their work so well in hand that a genuine, old-fashioned Kentucky welcome can be safely guaranteed to all who may honor the picturesque Falls City with their presence during the League season. Mr. W. H. Seward, the editor of the American Baptist, is at the head of the committee on homes, and he reports that the list of stopping places is being filled at a gratifying pace, yet there is need of additional accommodations, as the attendance bids fair to break all records, and the local managers do not wish to take any chances on being short when the rush comes. The most representative people of the city are sending in their names, with the number they can board and lodge, and all are indicating a willingness to co-operate to the fullest extent of their power with the plans of the committee leaders. The headquarters at the Young Men's Christian Association building, 920 West Chestnut Street, are open day and night, and consultations are held at all hours. Mr. D. L. Knight, President of the local League, and Mr. W. T. Garnett, Secretary, are putting in a large share of their time here, answering letters of inquiry, and conferring with the chairmen of the several committees. The committee on decorations is planning to have columns in front of the Chestnut Street Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, where the day sessions of the League are to be held, and to place a similar feature in front of the Young Men's Christian Association Building, one block below. These will be festooned with electric bulbs, creating the effect of a "Court of Honor." The preparations for the big banquet are in the hands of the popular Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore and his energetic associates, and particulars will be forthcoming after the general meeting next Monday night. The Louisville Choral Society, under the direction of Professor N. R. Harper, is doing fine work in rehearsing special music for the large sessions, and among the soloists are some of the best voices to be found in the country. The concerted piece will be classics, and show the outside world what Louisville is doing for the promotion of the higher musical culture. Mrs. Lavinia B. Snead, acting for the financial committee, has been given charge of the souvenir program, which competent critics say has not been surpassed in beauty or design by any yet produced here. National Organizer Charles H. Moore, will be with us in a few days, and the finishing touches will be ready for his inspection. Besides the public functions announced for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors, society will be in its most genial mood. The best homes will be thrown open for the "group" affairs, and the various clubs, ladies' auxiliaries and standard places of amusement will offer hospitalities that will make the visit of the League memorable. CORNER STONE LAYING Wednesday, July 14, the cornerstone of St. Monica's Chapel, Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Mission, Southwest, South Capitol and L streets, was laid by the Right Reverend Alfred Harding, D.D., LL.D. Bishop of Washington. The processional was formed at the Colored Settlemen, and preceded by the Altar boys marched to the church where the following services were performed—processional hymn 450, followed by remarks by the Bishop, followed by prayer. Then hymn 291—prayers, after which mention was made of articles to be deposited beneath the stone, as follows: Holy Bible, book of Common Prayer, Diocesan Journal, History of St. Monica's Chapel, and Sunday school, coins of the present issue of United States, copy of Washington Star, copy of Washington Bee, and Church Advocate. Then the Bishop, assisted by the clergy laid in due form the stone, after which the Doxology was sung. The address was delivered by the Rev. Professor W. V. Tunnell, followed by the Offertory, then hymn 383, and prayer. The pictures of the Bishop and clergy and Mr. J. P. Johnson were then taken. The lines were reformed and all marched back to the Colored Settlement. Recessional 249.. A fine collation was then served to all present. A large number of friends, both white and colored, were present. The ground was presented by Dr. William Cabot Rivers, M.B., and wife, prominent members of this District. The Rev. J. C. Van Loo, B. D., in the Vicar in Charge and Rev. J. E. Williams, Registrar. Between the church and the Colored Settlement much good is expected. GOVERNOR P. B. S. PINCHBACK We have been informed that Governor P. B: S. Pinchback, will be appointed under President Taft's administration to a position in the U. S. Marshal's office for the eastern district of New York State. We are delighted if this news is true, and so will the many Republicans be who were affiliated with Governor Pinchback in the support of Mr. Taft before the Chicago Convention and during the campaign after his nomination. It will be remembered particularly by the Republicans of South Carolina, that Governor Pinchback came to this State early in 1908, making a thorough canvass of the State in the interest of Mr. Taft; and if he is recognized by the Taft administration it will be but a just recognition given to a loyal supporter and will prove to the colored Republicans of the country that loyalty and fealty count for something and will be so considered as long as Mr. Taft is President. No loyal Republican throughout the country would oppose the appointment of Governor Pinchback, and of course the opposition of others would amount to nothing when his name is brought up for consideration. A life-long Republican who has served his party and country in the high position of Governor of Louisiana; elected United States Senator, and having served the Government as Collector of the Port of New Orleans, all of these positions having been filled with honor and credit, it goes without saying that he will fill any position he may be honored with, with the dignity necessary and with the satisfaction of his friends, his party and the Government. Though having passed his three score years and ten, he is hale and hearty, representing all of the vigor and activity of a man in the prime of life, and there are many more years left in Governor Pinchback which should be contributed to the Government to which he has been so loyal and faithful.—Charleston Messenger. MR. FLETCHER DEAD Mr. John Feltcher, husband of the late Margaret Watson Fletcher, and father of the late Louisa Smith, died Tuesday, July 20, after a short illness. He was buried on Thursday, July 22, from Miles Chapel on Third street. Deceased was born in Prince George County, and came to Washington about thirty years ago following the hotel and restaurant business. He had charge of some of the leading hotels.

THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION To Be held August 24-26, 1909, in Boston Never in the history of the National Medical Association have the people of any section shown greater interest in the coming of the society than the people of Boston and New England: The committee of arrangements has been extremely fortunate in securing the co-operation of a large Citizens' Committee and a still larger Ladies' Auxiliary to help arrange the necessary details for the conduct of the session. Including the medical profession in New England, and the laity, there are actively engaged in arranging this meeting over a thousand men and women. The wives of physicians, representative women and the younger ladies of New England are generously contributing their services in arranging for the convention. The necessary funds are being freely contributed by the medical profession and public spirited citizens. There is uniform co-operation of the profession and public, who are strivethe great National Association. Arrangements are being made for operating to make arrangements worthy of tions and clinics in some of the well equipped hospitals—the Massachusetts General Hospital, the oldest of all, the Boston City Hospital, where, after the clinics luncheon will be served, complimentary to the visiting doctors. The Plymouth Hospital, the Blossom Street Hospital, the Boston Dispensary and the St. Monica's Consumptive Hospital. The scientific exhibits, the clinical exhibits and the practical clinical demonstrations at these and other hospitals will prove sufficient scientific entertainment to well repay attendance at this session. UNION WESLEY A.M.E. ZION Sunday School PICNIC TO WASHINGTON PARK Saturday August 14th. '09 Palace Steamer 'RIVER QUEEN' LEAVES WHARF 10:30 A.M., 1 & 3 P.M., RETURNING AT 6.30 COLUMBIAN ORCHESTRA. S. M. Dudley, Supt. Round Trip Harvard Medical School and Tuft's Medical School with their well-equipped pathological laboratories, will be thrown open for inspection. Boston offers much from a historical point of view. The history of the state began with a sacrifice of a physician at the battle of Bunker Hill. Here ether was first publicly demonstrated and a monument now stands in the Public Garden to mark that event. It is the home of Longfellow, Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas Wentworth Higginson; William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Crispus Attucks, Robert Gould Shaw and a host of others whose lives have made American history and literature. Boston andi its vicinity are rich in educational institutions. Here are found the New England Conservatory of Music, Harvard College, the Boston Public Library, Trinity Church, of Philips Brooks fame, and the homes of most of the leading intellectual and cultured impulses of America. In short, Boston is the Athens of the Western Hemisphere. Among the places of historic interest in and around Boston, must be mentioned Faneuil Hall, "The Cradle of American Liberty," Paul Revere's House, the old South Church, Bunker Hill monument, Robert Gould Shaw monument, the State House and many others equally significant and interesting. The citizens of New England are looking forward with much pleasure to the coming of their visitors. The entertainment committee has spared no pains to make their visit an enjoyable one. One of the most spacious and beautiful halls has been secured for the "Ball and Banquet." The Ladies' Auxiliary has planned a reception to the visiting doctors and wives. Bass Point, a beautiful picnic ground, has been secured for an outing during the Friday in convention week. Many other social features are all well arranged. DR& DAVIS WINS Dr. George W. Davis, of St. Louis, formerly of Washington, District of Columbia, brother-in-law of Lawyer Jabez Lee, of this city, has been appointed Assistant Surgeon at Freedmen's Hospital. Dr. Davis secured this appointment through a Civil Service examination, having made the highest rating. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW If any supervising principal in the Negro school was asked to mark down an eighth grade teacher. Why either Nalle or Stafford was not made, principal of the High School. If Superintendent Bruce broke up the Chay-B Club. If Dr. Evans won't read the riot act to the two that were transferred to his school. If these two Chay-B's will not have to be the mark. At whom was the bar association notting last week. How Professor Bailey will feel in having a boss. If chickens don't come home to roost. Who will be the next Recorder of Deeds. If the Western contingent hopes to win. If District Negroes will get a slice of the plum. If a citizen could not be found to appoint principal of the High School. Rev. W. H. Furguson, D. D., Pastor. FOR PICNICS Madre's Park, situated on the Eckington and Suburban line, has been fitted up and is for rent for picnics. lawn fetes, Sabbath schools and private parties.

Its accommodations are the best, and above everything else it is noted for its Mineral Water and shady groves. Apply to J. R. Scott, at the Park, Proprietor. If Negro men who marry white women are ever elevated. What the trouble is in the Trinity Baptist Church. Why some people are so uncertain. If it pays to have two faces in dealing with your friends. If every person has religion that preaches Christianity. If honest people always grin in your face. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE An honest politician. Unity among Negro representatives. A home teacher at the head of the High School. Old and faithful teachers in the schools protected. Dr. Warfield supported at the Freedmen's Hospital. Colored lawyers organize a bar association. Douglas P. Syphax successful in settling the Woolen estate. Thomas Walker continue to be successful in the real estate business. IT IS RUMORED That a few Negro appointments will be made shortly. President will name a new District Commissioner. The school fight will be carried to Congress. A new United States Marshal will be appointed. Judge E. M. Hewlett will go upon the bench. A change will be made in the Municipal Court. That a few bachelors will get married next fall. Bachelors have a different opinion of females now. WHY IS IT That some women love to tell what other people say of another, but never tell anything about the other people. Excursion Season For 1909 Steamer River Queen to Washington Park.

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd of African elephants—all tuskers! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks; they have miserable little grubbers projecting two or three inches from the upper jaw and 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 alk 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. Smokelegg Coal. A Leaden 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. Nestroating Animals The daughter of animals for food by electoration 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 calamity. The Shy Man. Women show no mercy to the ship man, for he stands outside of the compass of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently or red. But he cannot. He has been brought up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his goal the spirit of diffuseness holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakig, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mile on his line—London Observer. Knocking Pictures Dangerous "Railroad casualties receive wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common helpless 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 steves 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 colonial 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 200 pounds and was presented to King Charles II. before he left Holland in the year 1660. Volvable East African Forest The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 287 miles long by eight miles broad, and comprises 1,000,000 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 2 1/2d. 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 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. 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. WITH THE "BREAD LINE" A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. At this Place Fleischmann's May Be Men in Actual Need—It is the Aim of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery as I approached them looked me over when they saw! I was about to interrupt their conversation. It was anything but a pleasant night; the cont I had borrowed for the evening was none too truck, 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 kin a feller git a cup o' coffee 'r a handout?" I asked. One of the officers smiled affably. "Two doors up," he said, indicating one of the numerous five and tencent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in this neighborhood. "I didn't mean that kind," I replied. "I've got to find a place where there ain't a price on the 'grub.'" "I guess the bread line at Fleischmann's or the Bowery Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said the officer as he turned his back on me. So I slouched along to 55 Bowery, where a sign in the window, reading, "Bowery Mission—Services Every Evening," indicated that I had found the right place. I looked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was 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 helping. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowery Mission—sometimes more. It is the aim at both this place and at Fielschmann's to send no one away hungry, but just now the demand is much in excess of that usual at this time of year. One sees at these two places the men who are in actual need of food and drink. The street beggars are in nine cases out of ten unworthy of notice. But the man or woman who doubts the distress—the real need of food among the unemployed—should spend a couple of hours at the two places I have described, and he or she will be convinced that there is no lack of opportunity for the offices of the Good Samaritan, and no excessive crowding in the ranks of helpers of unfortunate humanity. Bronze Statue of Schiller. The bronze statue of Schiller by Hermann Matzen, which is to be erected in Cleveland by German citizens, has been completed in Berlin. The poet is seated in an arm chair. 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 genreally 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," said Dennison. "How much blood do you want?" asked Owen. "Fifteen ounces." "How much do I get?" "Ten dollars." "I'm your man," and the bargain was struck. The rate was 66 2-3 cents an onuce. Up to Bellevue Hospital marched Dennison and Owen. The surgeons examined the man who was willing to sell fifteen ounces of his blood for $10, and told him he would do. The nature of the operation then was explained to him. He was told that the patient was suffering from what is known as sascoma, a malignant growth. To save the boy's life it was necessary to take from his body about sixteen ounces of the impure blood and transfuse in the body about fifteen ounces of healthy fluid. "I don't want to be chloroformed during the operation," Owen said. "No anaesthetics will be given," replied one of the surgeons. "We'll deaden the pain by an injection of cocaine." "Go ahead," said Owen. "I'm ready." Dennison was placed on the operating table and Owen was laid on another table. Between the two was a narrow table upon which the boy and the man each placed an arm. The surgeons made an incision in the boy's upper arm and blood was permitted to flow from the upper part of the median vein, while the lower part was closed. In this way the boy was relieved of about sixteen ounces of his impure and unnourished blood. An incision then was made in the forearm of the man. The surgeons rapidly connected the lower ligament of the man's radial artery with the upper vein of the boy's arm, and the blood of the man began to pass into the body of the boy. Dennison and Owen watched each other coolly throughout the operation. Not a whimper came from the boy, not a groan from the man. When the operation was over the boy's temperature showed marked improvement. Owen was weak after the operation. He took a stimulant and then left the hospital, not forgetting, of course, to collect his $10 before leaving. BURGLARS' GAZETTE IN RUSSIA "Trades Paper" Contains All the News of the "Craft." St. Petersburg.—A "trade paper" for burglaries is now published in St. Petersburg. It is called the "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.

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?

VICTIM TELLS HOW LOCKJAW Doctor was Worried When His Face Began to Stiffen—Fought Disease St. Louis.—Dr. F. W. Grundmann of Washington avenue, who was pronounced out of danger from lock-jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how he felt during his illness. "In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sure," sald Dr. Grundmann. "One day, as I was stepping off a street car, it started permaturely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was ripped in my trousers, and a gash cut in the flesh of my knee, into which earth from the street was ground. "It gave me no trouble, pained me very little and I gave it no further thought. About a week later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Next I observed spasmodic jerking of the limbs.

"I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistaken, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I believed I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless I was worried, and when that night the symptoms grew more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them all the more closely. "That night I got a real shock. I observed a growing rigidity of the muscles of the jaws. If it kept on they would become locked beyond all hope of unlocking them. "In one day I had 6,000 units, about a fluid ounce, of the serum injected. My jaws continued slowly to grow more rigid, but we fought the disease with the serum until at last we saw that we had the disease going the other way, and we fought it out. "The germs of tetanus may be in any manner of dirt. If you have a wound in your finger and go out into the garden and stick it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting lockjaw." STRATIGICAL USES OF T. TA. 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 tall tip is so conspicuous that it constantly attracts the eye and allows the pure white of the body to be confused with the snow. Even when we place a dead weasel on the snow and look at it from a distance, we realize how true this is, and how valuable must be the pencil tufts of black hairs to this little vermin who spends his life in hunting or being hunted.—The Outing Magazine. Everyone of Them a Bird. A current newspaper item is as follows: "The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her malden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swan, and another was a Jay; but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. "They live on Hawk-ava., Eagleville, Canary Islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Lifa. Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession—Alaska. In winter, when the more than 60,000 square miles of territory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are almost the sole means of getting from place to place—in fact, they seem necessary to life itself. The aristocrats of Arctic dog life are the mail teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mail service—St. Nicholas. Names that Don't Name. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerusens. 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. Dory 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 heats. They smell the odor as a woman smells 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 Story. An astonishing tissue case has come to light in Berlin. A clerk, aged 46—a healthy normal man—suddenly fell asleep in June 1904. All efforts to awaken him were unsuccessful and the sleeper since then has never opened his eyes. He breathes regularly and swallows his food mechanically, but is insensible to the severest attempts to arouse him. Lace Curtains. Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added, before being put into warm suds. This gives 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 "verbaten"—forbidden. He finds it is verbaten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States—Chilean Standard. A Valuable Betle. A thirteenth century copper and gilt eberlumber, 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 Gauged the Abolishment of the Turnplike 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 turnpike corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they, would 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 organisation spread from Eshalby 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 sole 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 laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and 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 promisance 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 Payche knot and walked out on the front porch. While she leaned against the rolling it gave way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the sidewalk, alighting on her head. The collure 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 28, 1809, 164 persons in Rochefort attained the age of 90 no more. Two of these were contagious, one reaching the age of 108, and the other dying at 184. 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

Pratt, Dead from Hunger and Thirst, Found in California. Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, If I could only and water! I'm sukering terrifly from hunger. To-day I ate some green brush, but I can't go any more. I wonder how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from human 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 cree the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but maintained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it so often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, 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 like 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 ether points in the Okanogan country. The ether line is between Marseus and Kettle Falls in Steven 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 FLAGUE. 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 Hip's Crew Witness Desperate Fight in Chessapeake 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 Chacopeake Bay. When coming out of Cochamnock 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 all in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its male, hovering close by, tried to attack them. Ebot an ALBino Squirrel. Marquette, Mich.—While beating near Grand Marula, Gustav Meyhort shot and killed an albatross. It has been presented to James Cairns, of Grand Marula, and will be mounted. Albatross door 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. 491 Penn. ave. N. W. OUR $2.50 AND $3 SHOES ARE THE BEST MADE. SIGN OF THE BIG BOOT WM. MORELAND, PROP.

ADA OVERTON V JALKER And eight other girls of her selection are making a splendid hit as Jungle Girls at the American Theater in New York. Montague in his newspaper letter says: Those gorgeous Jungle Girls brought down the house last night, singing and dancing with wild music. One of the girls is an extraordinary beauty, light brown skin, alluring pink cheeks and black, stunning eyes. By the way, there is a good deal of difference of opinion in New York as to whether such a beauty as she is should have the first prize or some of these other girls with soft white skin, dainty pink cheeks and blue eyes. All the women in New York, most prominent in society, whether white or colored circles are using the new discovery for complexion, called 'Complexion Wonder.' There are two kinds of Complexion Wonder, Soft White and Shell Pink. White women use Soft White because it makes white skin whiter. Dark colored women use it because it makes the colored skin lighter, and the women with brown skin use it because it gives them a splendid mulatto shade. No one can tell that Complexion Wonder has been applied. White women and light brown girls should use the Shell Pink for the cheeks. It gives them great natural beauty. M. B.
