Durham's Great Work A NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL AND CHAUTAUQUA Dr. James E. Shepard's New Propaganda Leading Men in the Country to Support Him The idea of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, as we have attempted to explain to people whom we wished to interest, and as it has been generally disseminated through the press, is briefly, as follows: That the religious training of the Negro, is the base, the real foundation upon which his whole racial structure must rest. All industrial or college education that will cause the betterment of the real condition of the race, must be founded upon a moral and religious training. "We have labored insistently to get rooted into the minds of the people, that they might be prepared for the work which it is the purpose of this institution to accomplish. We claim that a religious training has certain advantages for the race. To be specific: 1. It awakens the sluggish, dormant energies of the individual and turns them into channels of usefulness and service. 2. It lessens crime, reduces idleness, stops violence and teaches lessons of self-restraint. 3. It builds up a better citizenship and checks the waste of human material found in chaiangangs, jails and penitentiaries. 4. Makes a man practically religious and the educational and industrial side will take care of itself. The charge has been made that the Negro is already too emotional and religious, but it is not a practical religion. It can be illustrated by the story of an old Negro, who claimed to have been converted. He told his employer about the great change. His employer was delighted—said he, 'John, it is going to make a better man of you, is it?' 'Yes, sir,' he replied. 'Going to make you a better husband and citizen, and make you love everybody?' 'Yes, sir, it is.' 'Well, John,' replied his employer, 'Religion will make you pay your honest debts. You remember the 50 cents you borrowed from me? You are going to pay it, are you not?' John began to scratch his head, and said, 'See her, boss, religion is religion, and business is business, an I am not going to mix them, either.' "Now this has been largely the kind of religious training that the Negro has had. We are attempting to change it. 5. The rallying cry should be— "change the man, and the environments will be changed by the man." "Thus we have stressed these important truths everywhere, and with equal emphasis have placed before the public our plans to be carried out in the establishment of this institution. The plans we have placed before them are the same ones that have at various times been called to your attention. We propose— "To train men and women in the Bible and thus change their inner life, and with this life changed, send them out to change others. "It is also planned to have a literary department, especially adapted to the needs of the illiterate minister, as well as a course in general instruction, equal to the curriculum in the most approved institution of learning. "To have a special course for Sunday school workers, realizing that the Sunday school workers will be the largest and most potent force in shaping the future of the race. "The ministers are the real leaders of the people, and for the next three or four generations will remain so. There are about 30,000 colored ministers in the United States. A safe estimate is that about 10 per cent, or about 3,000 of them are educated, thus leavir 27,000 of them yet to be reached. These 27,000 largely control the future of the 80,000,000 people. In many instances these ministers are seeking the light. They cannot put in a long time in college, and hence a practical course in instruction must be arranged to suit their needs, with such side helps as only a well regulated Chautauqua could be expected to furnish. It is not enough to declare that the educated young people are getting away from the church. If the minister is to lead the people, he must be as well prepared to lead as they are to follow. "In short, it is the whole plan of the training school to provide such a course of religious instruction for the ministers that they will be able to teach a practical religion—a religion of service. I am sure all will agree with me that the difficulty lies, not so much in the fact that our people are not religiously inclined, but in their ability to adapt their religion to their everyday lives and necessities. Perhaps in the attitude of the minister, perhaps in the manna in which the gospel is presented to them, perhaps in their own disinterestedness, yet the fact remains that the young people of the race are growing to regard religion as something apart from them and having no place in their common activities. These conditions can only be remedied by the trained minister, the one who will have an eye single to the practical needs of the people he serves. The hope of the race lies in the salvation of the young. Specially trained teachers must do the work if it is to be effective. With its valuable adjuncts, the practical Sunday school teacher and the missionary, the trained minister will be able to do this work effectively. "Besides these features, and the special literary and normal course, previously hinted at, our further plans call for— A special course designed for the training of young men and women for Young Men's Christian Association and Young Women's Christian Association work, and the introduction of practical industries, such as agriculture, horticulture, domestic science, and other branches of industrial endeavor, also special training as housekeepers and musicians. "Chautauqua work in its advanced and most accepted phrases will be the principal features of the work, and here teachers and other professional workers may come for the summer and while resting from their year's labor, may receive valuable help and inspiration for their future work. Social settlement work will be attempted in several communities, and the results given to the public. It can be easily seen that success in this particular line will revolutionize the actual living conditions of the people as a whole. A reliable university extension course will not only be one of the most beneficial features, but will at once enlist the moral support of the leading Negro institutions of learning in the country. "It is certainly a plan to merit the consideration of the public. Nothing of such widespread scope has before been attempted by our own people, and we realize that sufficient time must be given before the idea can receive the favorable consideration of all people. Three of the largest cash donations have come from Southern white men—men of the community in which the school is located, whose interest in our common humanity could never be doubted. "We have been successful to secure a twenty-five acre plat of ground within one mile of Durham, the value of which is about $12,000. Of this, Mr. B. L. Duke gave half, and the deeds to the other were secured by various members of the Merchants' Association. Mr. George W. Watts and General Julian S. Carr each gave $500 towards the purchase of this property. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SATU WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 7, 1909 DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. The white people of Durham have responded liberally. The colored people have sought to help themselves, and at present have subscribed over $2,000. The advisory board consists of some of the strongest men in the country, headed by Mr. A. D. Tompkins, Charlotte; Judge J. C. Pritchard, Asheville; Senator Lee man, Washington, District of Columbia; Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington, District of Columbia; General Julian S. Carr Durham; Mr. N. B. Broughton, Raleigh; Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, New York City; Dr. F. A. Tompkins, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mr. John L. Williams, Richmond, Virginia; Dr.H. M. Hamill, Nashville, Tennessee; Dr. John A. Earle, Chicago, Illinois; General B. W. Green, Little Rock, Arkansas; Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Cincinnati, Dr. J. B. Dudley, Greensboro; Mr. John Merrick, Durham; Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham; Rev. Thomas B. Shannon, Newark, New Jersey; Dr. James H. Dillard, New Orleans, Louisiana; Dr. James E. Shepard, Durham, and Professor S. G. Atkins, Winston. This board is to be increased to twenty-four and its powers are defined in the charter which provides that this board shall approve the general policy of the schol. General Julian S. Carr, president of the First National Bank, of Durham, has been elected treasurer and has accepted. Dr. J. B. Dudley, of the A. and M. College, has been elected chairman of the trustee board. Mr. John Merrick, president of the largest Negro insurance company in the state, vice chairman of the trustee board, and Dr. A. M. Moore, Durham, secretary. The colored members of the board of trustees are among the most prominent and conservative Negroes of the country. Among the are: Dr. M. C. B. Mason, secretary of the Freed- DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD, man's Aid Society, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North; Professor S. G. Atkins, secretary of education African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; Dr. Thomas O. Fuller, president Howe Institute, Memphis, Tennessee; Colonel James H. Young, of Raliegh; Dr. John C. Dancy, Washington, District of Columbia; Dr. M. W. Gilbert, New York City; Dr. C. H. Shepard, Durham; Professor W. G. Pearson, Durham; Professor C.G. O'Kelly, Winston; Mr. C. C. Spaulding, Durham; Dr. C. L. Fisher, Birmingham, Alabama, and others. "In teaching the people of the Negro race that religion and work go hand in hand, the efficacy of a religion of good will, service and friendly feeling for their neighbors, we believe that the greatest service is rendered to the country at large, and the South in particular, and that an enterprise of this kind has the right to expect the co-operation of all good citizens. "The hearty support received in the beginning, especially from Southern white people, it is believed and confidently hoped that the success of the institution is assured from the start." OUR NEW CONGRESSMEN FROM IOWA We take great pleasure in presenting to the colored voters of Iowa, and the readers of the Washington Bee, our new Congressmen from Iowa, who are now serving their first term in the House of Representatives. And we feel safe in saying that Iowa never had such an able representation at one time in Congress as she has at the present time. All of the new Republican members are men who have made a record in the great State of Iowa, known as the banner Republican state of the Union, and each and every one of them was elected to Congress as a true and loyal Republican and friend to the colored race. We first wis hto present to you the Honorable J. W. Good, from the Fifth District, who was elected to succeed the Honorable R. G. Cousins, who was known as the silver-tongued orator of the House. Mr. Good is one of the leading lawyers of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and served as city attorney for two years and filled the office with credit and dignity. He was nominated for Congress under the new primary election law of Iowa and received a large majority. Mr. Good since coming to Congress has made a great many friends both among the Democrats and Republicans on account of his kind and business disposition, and we feel safe in saying that if he stays in Congress half as long as his predecessor he will make a record that every voter in the Fifth District will be proud of. And it is to be hoped that he will be returned to the 62nd Congress by an overwhelming majority. The next is the Honorable N. E. Kendall, of the Sixth District, known as the black belt of Iowa. Mr. Kendall has served in the Legislature a number of years and was Speaker of the House and made a great record as a presiding officer. He is a true and loyal Republican and a friend to the colored race and believes in a square deal for all men, regardless of creed and color, and we feel safe in saying that the Sixth District has never had a more able Representative than Mr. Kendall. He is a polished orator and ever since he came to Congress has paid strict attention to all the proceedings of the House, and is doing all in his power to look after the interests of his colored constituents. The next is the Honorable Frank P. Woods, of the Tenth District, who was elected to succeed the Honor- able J. P. Connor, of the Tenth District, who represented the district for over ten years. Mr. Woods is one of Iowa's young business men and stands as one of the leading Republicans of the state, and the colored race never had a truer and better friend than Mr. Woods. He knows no man by the color of his skin nor the texture of his hair, but treats every man alike, his motto being, "Equal treatment for all." He believes in "doing' rather than talking. He was State Chairman for two years and was instrumental in bringing about the recent victory for the Republicans in the state. And the next is the Honorable C. E. Pickett, of the Third District, known as the David B. Henderson District. Mr. Pickett was elected to succeed the Honorable Benjamin P. Birdsall, who represented the district for three terms. Mr. Pickett is one of the leading attorneys of Iowa and is a true and uncompromising Republican and we feel safe in saying that he will be returned to the 62nd Congress by an overwhelming majority. A SPECIAL MEETING Washington, D. C., August 1, 1909. To the officers and members of the National Committee of the National Colored Personal Liberty League: You are hereby notified to attend a special called meeting of the National Committee of the above named League, to meet in Atlantic City, August 24, 25 and 26, 1909, for the purpose of transacting such business as may come before the committee, as it is a well known fact that since the meeting of the committee in Chicago, June 16, 1908, there have occurred several vacancies in our National Committee, and as there are several important state and municipal elections to be held this fall in the several states, we deem it advisable to call the National Committee together in order that we may exchange views and ideas in regard to several important issues that may be submitted to the approval of the voters of the country this fall. And we do most earnestly request the attendance of every member of the committee, either in person or by proxy. Those who cannot attend in person are requested to send their proxy to the Secretary of the League, 1811 K st., northwest, on or before August 15, 1909. Signed by order of the League. GOOD SAMARITANS The National Colored Personal Liberty League will run a special car to Atlantic City, August 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 over the Pennsylvania road. They will be joined by the Grand Lodge of Good Samaritans, who meet at Atlantic City on the above named dates. They have made arrangements with the Pennsylvania road for a special car that will leave the Union Station at 1:11 p. m. on August 24, and it is expected that over one hundred Good Samaritans and members of the National Colored Personal Liberty League will go on that special car. For further information, write or call on Charles C. Curtis, 1811 K street, northwest, or to Mr. Newbold, of the Pennsylvania road. "AMEN!"

Boer Farmer Boys Make Good Shoes 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 boy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus selzed 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 Volkesstem. Puisonous Brazilian Viper Much is made of the lance-head viper, "the most deadly of all know reptiles," brought from Brazil to New York for the purpose of an operation which will give a serum that is practically extinct. There are several singularly interesting snakes in Brazil. The suru cueu is supposed to cause death in six hours. It is sometimes found nine feet long. Its skin is a dirty tawny yellow, with dark brown lozenges on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The neroest 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 Moki Indian women of Arizona have an ingenuous and romantic form of culture. When young these women call their treasures at the sides of their heads, so as to represent the buds of a native plant. This signifies that they themselves are in the flesh of youth, and of marriageable age. When they are married their hair is arranged to represent the fruit of the plant; while in old age their jocks hang straggling down their backs, typical of the withered stalk of the dead or dying plant. marcalo. sf5 cresc. ff mp cresc. mp cresc. fff Answers. Brides Older Than Bridegrooms.

The oldest bridegroom was 68 and the oldest bride 50, while the youngest bridegroom was 16 and the youngest bride 15. Seventy-one brides were older than the bridegrooms.—Boston Transcript. Vegetable Milk. "Vegetable milk" is used in Japan. it is made from the soja bean. The liquid is exactly like cow's milk in appearance, and in taste can hardly be distinguished from it. To make it the beans are first soaked and then boiled in water. Some sugar and phosphate potassium are added, and it is boiled down till it has the consistency of condensed milk. Valuable Relica.

A Venerable Turtle.

These flunkies all think one thing in patricular, and that is to spend every cent they earn in dress. The department flunky is always broke. He never has a cent after pay-day. They have no time to visit respectable people, hence the "good-time girl," so called, is their chief companion. If they cannot take liberties with females of respectability they have no time to spend in their company. Marriages are slow in many communities. It is because the females allow too many privileges. It is the sedate and refined woman that commands respect. These flunkies get into the Church and try to run it. They declare that everybody is immoral but themselves. If you will take off their coats, shirts, and look at their backs you will find leopard's spots. Many of them sail under false colors. Their courtship is all a blind. Many of them are deceiving the women with whom they associate and to whom they pretend to be engaged. They see many faults in other people, but see nothing of their own rascality and deception. They often give advice to the girl with whom they go, and tell them that such-and-such a person is a dangerous individual. In many cases the woman has been corrupted by them, and her association with them is a menace to society. She becomes often intoxicated from what she has been told and practices, and her attempt to teach others what she does not practice is a mockery. These flunkies live on their salaries. They become broke two hours after pay-day. The girls are responsible for their introduction in Washington society. Churches are too careless in admitting these flunkies. They know that their membership in some church will give them a wide acquaintance. Beware of the social flunkies and the woman companion who would promulgate their teachings. THE CITIZENS. A correspondent of an outside paper would have its readers to believe that The Bee favored the position and attitude against schools by that paper. The Bee does not agree with some of the methods adopted by those in authority. There seems to be a desire to relegate female teachers to the rear and bring forward the men. The position of The Bee in this particular has been and will be to take all men out of the schools and appoint females. School teaching in the public schools is a lazy occupation for males. The Bee has always held that females should be the teachers of our youths. This continual agitation of the schools will finally result in the elimination of Negro control. A teacher should not be removed or reduced in position without cause and a trial by a committee of the Board. Any blackleg can make a charge against a teacher. COLONEL JEFFERSON Why should there be so many objections made to excursions going down the river under the auspises of colored churches, and colored societies? Certainly these objections cannot be well founded, and neither can a valid excuse be given by the objectors. Lewis Jefferson has done all in his power to give the colored citizens a pleasure resort worthy of consideration. He is not the man to call his men to beat and thrash his patrons. He doesn't allow drunks to remain in his boats, and neither are they permitted to strike the patrons of the boat. How has Colonel Jefferson been rewarded? The opposition has been patronized to his detriment. Men are being supported who care but little, if anything for the colored citizens. Some of the largest organizations in the city have ignored him. Many of the largest churches, that had no place to go last year, but Washington Park, failed to come to the support of Colonel Jefferson this year. The most intelligent Negro will support his enemies in preference to his friends. SENATOR STONE. The Democratic Seator Stone, who assaulted a Negro waiter a few wdays ago, because he was not served in time, was acquitted by a Maryland magistrate. The only mistake the Negro waiter made was in having the Democratic Senator arrested. The Negro should have been placed in a position that would have caused his arrest. Senator Stone assaulted the wrong Negro. He was made a hero. The Negro should have been the hero or the martyr. Whenever an opportunity presents itself for a Negro to be a hero or a martyr he allows it to slip from him. The Maryland magistrate reminds The Bee of the New York judge who set aside the verdict of a jury because he thought the Negro was not entitled to such high damages for a false arrest. Senator Stone should go in South Washington and attack one of the denizens of bloodfield and then count his costs. COMING APPOINTMENTS. There will be a few changes and a few new colored appointments in a few days. President Taft, who has decided to recognize the merits of a few worthy colored Republicans, will undoubtedly make an announcement in a few days. Of course, there will be a few disappointments, especially in the District of Columbia. Men who came in at the last hour, and who were paid by the National Committee to make speeches, need not look for any consideration. DR. SHEPARD. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is entitled to the credit of being the promoter of a new educational propaganda for the Negro. He is a man of push, and perseverance who is doing a great work in the. South for his people. Dr. Shepard is respected everywhere he goes. As an orator he has but few equals. PPARAGRAPHIC NEWS BY Miss Gonevia B. Maxfield Mrs. Booker T. Washington is in Chicago, Illinois.

This is an insult to the 10,000,000 of colored citizens of this country. Now we look to the leaders of our race for advice. Where are they, and what advice will they give? The Tenth Cavalary was given a tremendous welcome in New York. Even Wall street suspended her business to welcome the black heroes. Rev. J. G. Butler, the venerable pastor and founder of the Luther Place Memorial Church, died in this city August 1, last. Dr. Butler belonged to the old class of this city. He has been a pastor here for sixty years. He was a strong Union man and a great friend of the colored race. For nearly thirty years he was professor of homiletics and church history at Howard University. The death of Dr. Butler has deprived the colored race of a staunch friend whose place can not be filled. It is said that boys in their teens should be taught by men teachers and not surfeited with femininity.

It is said the organ is so large that a pony can be ridden through its largest pipes, and it will require ten freight cars to remove it to Philadelphia. Mrs. E. E. Peterson, of Texarkana, Texas, has been promoted to the position of National Superintendent for work among the colored people of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. This position was formerly held by Mrs. Lucy T. Thurman. J. C. Manning, Editor of the Southern American, Alexander City, Alabama, declares there are 152,000 white children growing up in Alabama without receiving the least bit of education, and that the would-bestatesmen are too busy trying to keep the Negro down to attend to their education. The Board of Education of New York, does not intend that the color line shall be shown there. Mr. William L. Buckley, colored, has been placed as principal of one of the schools, although over one half of the teachers protested against working under a Negro principal. It is said a petition requesting the segregation of Negro mail clerks was posted in the Union Station, mail clerks office, where several of the clerks whose homes are in the South, could sign. It bore several names and each day more were added. The petition, it is said, requested that Negro clerks be used only on certain trains apart from white clerks. However, it was not sanctioned by the Railway Postal Clerks Association, which admits Negro clerks to membership. The latest invention is the window washing machine, which was invented by Thomas Johnson, once a window washer, and for twenty-two years confidential clerk to A. L. Erlanger, the theatrical manager. Mr. Fluegelman, mechanical inventor, perfected the device. It has been patented in America, England, Canada, France, and Germany, and will soon be on the market for sale. Elijah S. Handy, the Negro who passed the Civil Service examination for a position in the Wether Bureau, and was sent to Pensacola, and was recalled and sent to Mobile, and when it was found he was colored, he was again recalled. Oh! if the leopard could only change its The Lincoln Hospital Association, just organized at Indianapolis, Indiana, for the purpose of establishing a hospital for the treatment of colored patients, will send representatives to Louisville. The projectors of the enterprise are Drs. Sumner A. Furniss, W. E. Brown, H. L. Hummons, James R. Norrell, John W. Norrell, A. J. King, Arthur Wilson, Clarence Lucas, Charles Burris, C. R: Atkins, O. J. Puryear, and Lawyer J. H. Lott. Attorney. Albert S. White, one of the most energetic of the Kentuckians that are preparing to receive the delegates next month at Louisville, has issued a call to the lawyers of the State and to those who expect to attend the convention, to get together during the League season for the purpose of forming a National Bar Association, as an auxiliary to the parent organization. From the number of favorable replies received by Mr. White, the indications are that a healthy bar association will grow out of the conference. The list of homes is growing and Chairman Stewart is confident that no one will be obliged to camp on the seductive "White Way" of West Walnut street. August 19 has been selected as the "outing day" for the League. Beautiful "White City," which is seldom thrown open to colored people, has been secured for the happy occasion, and every delegate, and his wife, sweetheart, sister, mother or friend, are invited to be on hand and enjoy the good things that will be offered for their enjoyment. Washington are to organize a "Hoosier Club," for social and political purposes. Some of the prominent Indianians here are: Albert J. Farley, Joseph C. Blakey, George W. Jackson, Charles E. W. Brown, L. C. Morris, J. Frank Pettiford, R. W. Thompson and Alexander Freeman. Mrs. R. F. Chisholm, of 1917 11th street, northwest, is on the sick list. Major Arthur Brooks, Commander of the District National Guard, Benjamin Davis, Post Quartermastersergeant, United States Army, retired; and R. W. Thompson, formerly connected with the Indiana Legion (State Militia), have been elected as honorary members of the General James A. Buchanan Garrison, No. 111, Army and Navy Union, of which Sergeant Samuel T. Henry, of Delaware, is Commander. Mrs. Mamie Shepherd Downing, of Corcoran street, is suffering with an affliction of the eyes, which seriously threatens her sight. Her friends hope for a speedy recovery. Mr. John M. Copper, of the War Department, has returned from an enjoyable vacation trip to New York and other Eastern points. Dr. A. M. Curtis says the Boston meeting of the National Medical Association will be one of the greatest successes of the series. He has planned an elaborate program for the surgical section, of which he is chairman. He has secured one of Boston's principal hospitals for the clinics. Dr. Curtis thinks the session of 1910 will be held in this city. Dr. George C. Hall, Chicago's great surgeon, is headed this way, and will be the guest of Dr. A. M. Curtis. Dr. Hall has just been elected President of the Chicago branch of the National Negro Business League. The Washington speakers at the Louisville meeting of the National Negro Business League will be S. H. Bolling, J. W. Lewis and George F. Collins. A WOMAN HIGHLY HONORED For the last nineteen years, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton has been a faithful and hard worker in the Woman's Relief Corps, Auxiliary to the G. A. R. She has held more offices, and longer, than any woman in this department. In 1891 she was elected Senior Vice President of this Department, was Department Inspector for one year, Press Correspondent four years, President of her own Corps, O. P. Morton, for three years, three times elected delegate at large to represent the Department of the Potomac in National Convention, and is now serving her eighth appointment as Department Secretary: said office gives her a voice in National Convention. She has been reading clerk of the Department Convention every year since 1891. This year the National Convention meets in Salt Lake, Utah, August 9 to 14. A number of her friends were very anxious that she should attend the convention. Miss Sophia Brooks, the President of O. P. Morton Corps, and Mrs. DeVaul, Past President, Mrs. Alicia Chase, and E. Pope Thompson, both officers of the Corps, planned to secure her ticket to Salt Lake. With but a few days in which to work, they succeeded admirably. The old workers (white women with whom she has served as Department Officer) most willingly lent aid. Mrs. Ida V. Hendricks, Anna A. Peck, Lida J. Hart, Isabel Nowell Ball, and many others sent their personal checks for $5.00 each, and said "if more is needed, call on me." Mrs. Layton is Associate Deputy of the I. O. St. Luke, as Past Chief of Loyalty Council, (this council is the largest in the entire order). Her council has elected her the second time to represent them at the St. Luke Convention which meets in Richmond, Virginia, August 17. Last October Supreme Chancellor Green, of New Orleans, Louisiana, recommended this same lady for Supreme Deputy Counselor of the Court of Colanthe, Auxiliary to the Knights of Phythias, for the District of Columbia. She was commissioned by the Supreme Counselor, J. W. Strauther, of Greenville, Mississippi, and is now holding said office. She has been unanimously elected to represent all the courts in this jurisdiction at the Phythian Encampment, which meets in Kansas City, Missouri, the last week in this month. Mrs. Layton is also National Trustee associated with Rev. Walter H. Brooks, for the Baptist Training School, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is President., located at Lincoln Heights, District of Columbia, and National State Vice President of the Woman's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and President of the Baptist Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of this city, and is therefore a delegate to represent these bodies in the convention which meets in Columbus, Ohio, September 16. Brother C. W. Procter, P. M., of Felix Lodge No. 3, is still sick at his residence, 920 L street, northwest. Brother Procter is a brother of Mr. Daniel Murray of this city. God works in a slow but sure manner. Recent events have demonstrated that as we sow we reap. A heap see but a few know. It is better to travel on the square. Hypocrites and liars will go in due course of time to that place presided over by his Satanic Majesty—known as Hades. Better be good. A WEDDING The marriage of Catherine R Fletcher to Charles A. Scott, of Goldsborough, North Carolina, took place at 1636 O street, northwest, on Wednesday evening, July 28. The bride is the daughter of Lawrence G. Fletcher and the late Mary E. Fletcher, one of the oldest families of this city. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. McGill C. Eierce, uncle of the bride. Her grandfather was Mr. Basil Fletcher, the first colored man appointed in the United States civil service at the Capitol. The bride and groom left for their home in Goldsborough, July 29. Mr. Scott is one of the leading business men of Goldsborough. He was formerly teacher in the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Cambria, Virginia, where Miss Fletcher was also a teacher. Mrs. Fletcher is a graduate of the A. M. T. School, of this city, and sister of the late Gorham Fletcher who was a teacher at the same school, and a member of the bar.

Ocylon the Only Part of the World Where They Exist. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd of African elephants—all tuskers! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks; they have miserable little grubbers projecting two or three inches from the upper jaw and inelizing 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. Smokelea 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 smokeless coal. Electrocuting An'mals The slaughter of animals for food by electrocution is being experimented by Dr. Leduc, a French scientist, who has been conducting his investigations in the French abattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is painless, the central functions of perception being first destroyed and then those of circulation and respiration, so that there is neither suffering nor reaction in the animals thus killed. The doctor is endeavoring to devise some piece of apparatus by which the killing of cattle may be accomplished by electricity with economy and celery. The Shy Man Woman show no mercy to the shy man, for he stands outside of the compass of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently erased. 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 diffuse holds him in a vice. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakis, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mile on line—London Observer. Kamclag Pictures Dangerous. "Railroad casualties receive such wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common belief on the part of the public that one is more liable to accidents while traveling than when living the simple life in the confines of his home. "It's 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 Hes to More 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 Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 187 miles long by eight miles broad and comprises 1,000,000 acres of timber. Taking the average value of the 21% per cubic foot, this works out to 223 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £23,000,000—London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historian. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine comes 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 idea of wearing something no other woman can duplicate.

While the majority of people are inclined to think and act like one another, thus keeping the social order from violent convulsions, there is on the part of a great many a native tendency toward the queer; they are contented only outside of the traces. In every community small enough to be aware of its own individualities people in general know who are the "natural-born" come-outers—which man and which woman is likely to take up with the newest fad in dress, doctoring, means of grace, political economy, "social science" and the true authorship of Shakespeare's plays. There are certain persons destined to progress from one so-called reform to another more extreme as quickly as the reform shows itself. They are pretty sure to box the compass of religions, passing by gradual or violent stages from absolute irreligion to the narrowest dogmatism, or with great rapidity the other way around. Or they gravitate once and for all into the most irrational and absurd "religion" which happens to be forced upon their attention, and stick contentedly to its extremest tenets and practices. The more "occult" and, to the ordinary mind, preposterous the new religion, the greater the attraction it has, for certain minds. The new religion is apt to be founded on some one phase of the old—a phase of it which by very reiteration and use has become trite. In its new and fantastic dress the old principle strikes the new adept as something in the nature of a fresh revelation—Century. THE COUNTRY'S MANY VOICES. Noises of "Pastoral Repose" Responsible for Slang Term Applied to Londoners. The city man came down to breakfast red-eyed and pale. "A quiet country vacation?" he grumbled to the farmer's rosy daughter. "Why, the pandemonium was unexampled. Nothing like it is ever heard in town. Dogs barking, pigs grunting, sparrows chirping, cribbles and tree frogs pegging away, roosters crowing, horses neighing—no, I didn't sleep a wink." The pretty daughter of the farmer gave a merry laugh. "You city people have such nerves!" she cried. "None of you can stand our pastoral repose. You are like the cockney." "What cockney?" he asked, suffing at his soft-boiled egg a little anxiously. "The first, the original cockney," she replied. "He went out from London, just like you, to spend his vacation in the country, and just like you the noises wouldn't let him sleep. He said at breakfast that the wild beasts' roaring had been something frightful. And as he talked, a cock crowed. "That's the one," he said excitedly. "That's the feller. He's been neighing like that all night." The intelligent young girl laughed. "And ever since that time," she said. "Londoners have been called cock-neighs."—Buffalo Express. Two Apologies for a Hat. A Kansas City man, who had lost his hat at a public function in that metropolis, caused the following unique advertisement to be published in the local papers: "The undersigned will deem it a great favor if the gentleman who inadvertently took the undersigned's new silk hat on the occasion of the reception of the Lotos club, leaving an inferior headpiece instead, will have the goodness to return said silk hat. Not only will the gentleman receive the undersigned's warmest thanks for his kindness, but the apologies of the undersigned—the apology for the trouble the undersigned may have caused him, and 'the apology for a hat' which he has conferred upon the undersigned."—The Sunday Magazine. Rushing Them Off. "What's Zeke Crosby doing rushing down to the barn in such an excited state for?" drawled Hiram Hardapple. "Why, Zeke heard that one of his seven daughters is going to elope tonight with a summer boarder in Zeke's auto," whispered the hired man. "Do tell. And I suppose Zeke is running down to lock the machine up so they can't get it? "Oh, no! Zeke's running down to grease it up and put the motors in order so it won't break down and break up the elopement."—Chicago News. Hint for a Groom-Elect. If a groom-elect has not provided an extra room to his house for storing his bride's linen he should build it in time, for in these days whenever a girl marries, her mother closes her lips grimly, goes after pa's pocketbook, and does the right thing with nine dozen towels, 15 dozen napkins, 34 pairs of sheets, etc. She doesn't expect her daughter to open a boarding house, but she has proper pride, and intends to do the right thing by the girl, even if it breaks pa.-Achison Globe.

BUSINESS-MEN AND EXERCISE Too Many Positively Neglect the Sav- ing Antidote of Physical Train- ing Until Too Late. The recent assertion of a prominent physician that 99 per cent. of the business and professional men in American cities are sufferers from functional heart trouble, or chronic indigestion, simply because they will not take any bodily exercise, brings home one of the most astonishing truths of the present day, and one that should be recognized by every man and woman in the country. Every day the metropolitan papers contain scores of notices of the illness of lawyers, bankers, merchants and others of their kind, who have been forced into retirement by the continual strain of business without the saving antidote of physical training. Any day when business it at its height a physician can point out scores of men on the streets and in office buildings who are sallow and irritable with nervous disorders, and any person may see hundreds of old and young men hurrying about their daily routine with drawn faces and staring eyes, almost on the verge of collapse. In almost every bank, store and office in the city are clerks with hollow chests and trembling hands, whose labors are a constant strain upon them and whose leisure brings no recuperation. All of these are truly going the "pace that kills." In a short time, no matter what the number of their years may be, they will be decrepit old men, their vigor sacrificed in the rush and strain of business. And the panacea for all of their illis is—exercise—The Bookkeeper. ADEPT IN LOVE'S LANGUAGE. Prize Won by Young English Woman Seems to Have Been Awarded with Due Discrimination. Australia is a great country for competitions. The Victorian mining city of Ballarat has had a love letter competition, which proved so attractive as to draw competitors from all over the empire. It closed a few days ago, with the interesting result that the first prize was awarded to an English lady, Miss Gertrude Leighton, Black End, Cornwall. The letter judged to be the best ran thus: "To an imaginary correspondent—You ask me to forgive you. What can you ever do, sweetheart, which for one moment could make me forget what you are to me, or that love which has made earth heaven, and my life a joy? Have I to forgive the sun for lurking behind the clouds when he has shone on my days and made them golden, or shall I welcome him the less when he comes forth to warm me again? Beloved, if I have aught to forgive it is that you, I hold, have asked the question. I have no desire to know anything, except that you have loved me and love me still. My faith is unquestioning, for have I not crowned you king, and the king can do no wrong? These eyes of mine, which have closed beneath your kisses, are sightless until your lips unseal them. My ears are deaf except to the magic call of the voice of my beloved, and my heart has ceased to beat until it can throb on yours. I am sleeping, and shall awaken but at the sound of your footsteps." A. Good-Wish Rose. "A clever idea was carried out at a recent 'shower' for a bride-to-be," says Woman's Home Companion. "In the invitations each guest was requested to send in, prior to the party, a wish for the bride. The hostess made a beautiful large white paper rose, and before putting it together she wrote on each petal a wish and the name of the wisher. As is usual in most cases, some of the guests forgot to send in a wish, but brought one with them, and others wrote them after they arrived. For this purpose a large paper rosebud had been made, into which the wishes were slipped, and the bud twisted up again. The guest of honor was charmed with the rose and rosebud, and said that she should always keep it as a pleasant reminder of her friends, whom she was soon to leave for a new home in a distant city." Don't Forget How to Walk. The trolley car, the automobile and the train have made transportation so easy that people seldom walk any more. They ride to business, to the theater, the store, the resort, from the country into town, from one street to another, until walking has become almost a lost art. In a generation or two more we will forget how to use our legs. Man is by nature a walking animal. He was never made to sit still and be swiftly moved from place to place. And he is beginning to show the results of failure to use the motor muscles. He is becoming too fat and pudgy, and no small portion of his ill health might be traced to this failure to develop his muscles and use his physical faculties. Masks for Reading. The Book Monthly passes on a warning to the researchers among old volumes. It has been discovered that the ancient volume over which the researcher pores is full of germs, and you should not face the tome without a silk and wire mask to fit over the mouth and nose. Otherwise the reader, as Hood wrote, will "find more dust within the heap than he'd contracted for." The reading mask is in use in Paris. But one awaits the fashion plate which will encourage the ladies at the British and other museums with a really fascinating mask.

These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions tf dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs.

VICTIM TELLS HOW LOCKJAW FELT 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-faw, 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," said Dr. Grundmann. "One day, as I was stepping off a street car, it started permanently 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, palmed 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 palmed 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." --- STRATEGICAL USES OF T. LA. 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. Theermine, as it is incorrectly called in its winter coat, has an easy time of it, sneaking upon the mice and birds upon which it preys, but when a hawk takes after it in an open field in the sunlight or an owl in the moonlight, it would have but short shrift with all its sinuous leaping, 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 maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Roblin; 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 Islanda, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Life. Nqwhere 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 kerosene. Copperper 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 Shepa. 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 boots. They malfit 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 $25,000,000, 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 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 muds. 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 "verboten"—forbidden. He finds it is verboten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States.

It would hardly be thought neces- sary for anyone now, to advise young men about to ieave college to “honor money, honor money-getting and honor power,” yet such was the strong- est note of a baccalaureate orator at Dartmouth. If there is anything on earth or under the earth that on-com- ing Americans do not need tq have urged upon them, it is love of money and love of power, This may be sald witMout indorsing in any respect the malicious, and, for the greater part, insincere at- tacks upon wealth so often made by demagogues and hypocrites. The pas- aicn for money and the obsession of money-getting have become altogeth- er too conspicuous as American traits. They bring little content to those who are thus afficted, and they awaken re sentment in the breasts of millions, In spite of new teachings and prac tices, knowledge still 1s power. Sup plemented by wealth, knowledge be comes power triumphant. Without wisdom the power of money is law less and destructive—a curse to it: possessor and an evil example to the world. . .

Does Superior to Men. Dogs are property. Men are merely human beings, and as compared with the rights of property in dogs the rights of human beings go for the most part by the board. The owners of dog property may be and usually are outnumbered four or forty to one in any well-settled community, but the minority's dog property may make night hideous for the majorRy and ap parently the majority is helpless without redress, Such are the safe guards which the law throws around property in dogs that it is more diffi cult to prove that the dogs of any given owner of dog property are pesti lentlal disturbers of the peace than 1! {gs to prove a human being guilty 0! murder.

His years have been Ml spent if he has not acquired a degree of wisdom. As for capacity, no employer of 50 or 60 years will admit that he is less able to do his part in the world than he was 25 years before. He probably rates his own powers considerably higher than they were at the earlier age, and If he retires from business at the latter period he does not confess that it is Decause he is no longer able to at- tend to bis affairs as well as he ever did. He ought to be willing to judge of the ability of other men of his age with equal favor. A Myth Chaser.

WEALTH FOR WEALTH’S SAKE. oe Writer Has Sounded a Warn- ing Against the Domination of Mammon. | Look about you, and sooner or later you will see some man to whom the idea of wealth, as wealth, does not ap- peal, I advise you to watch this man closely for he will presently dem-' onstrate to you that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money. You may meet that man on your farm, in your village, or in your legislature. But he sure that whenever or wherever you meet him, as soon as it comes to a direct issue between you his little finger will be thicker than your lofns. You ‘will go in fear of him; be will not go in fear of you. You, will do what he wants; he will not’do what you want. You will find that you have no weapon in your armory with which you can attack him; no argument with which you can appeal to him. What- ever you gain, he will gain more. I would like you better to be that man, because from the lower point of wie Jt doesn’t pay to be possessed by the desire of wealth for wealth’s sake. If more wealth ts necessary to you for Purposes not your own, use your left hand to acquire it, but-keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms In that game you will be in danger of stooping; in dan- ger also of losing your soul.—Rudyard Kipling. CARRIED AVERSION TO GRAVE. With Thought of Death Before Him, Atlantan Was Strong on Antipa- thy to Water, Obsessed for years with the notion that water is fit for drinking purposes only, and then only In small doses, Joe Booth, well-knowncharacter about town with the beard of a: patriarch, strolled into the undertaking parlor of Greenburg, Bond & Bloomfield, says the Atlanta Journal, The weight of 70 years was on his shoulders, and ‘the sorrows of ages seemed to. welgh on his heart. “[ aln’t got long In this world,” he sald, “I want to make one last re- quest. When I die I want you to lay me out, but I want you to promise me one thing—don’t, please mister, don’t wash any part of me except my neck!” Mr. Bond looked at the man a mo- "ment wondering if this was a case for the ordinary or the board of health. “Please, mister, it’s a little matter —the last request of an old man—just my neck, that’s all.” ,, Mr. Bond promised it should even ‘be so, and Booth went out with an ec- static look on his face. Theory had won a victory over the dogma that cleanliness Is next to godliness. A Fortunate Mishap. In a certain New England town they manufacture a well-known kind of towel, most efficient for drying> pur- poses. How that towel first happened to be made Jn the form which has proved so profitable to its makers fs ithe subject of an amusing-legend. It savors strongly of belonging to the “too good to be true” genus of anec- dotes, and {s as follows: Once the machinery in the towel factory, busily engaged in turning out a very conventional brand of towel, suddenly went wrong and began, prac- tically, to go backward. There was much excitement. Eventually the ma- chinery was chastised and set to rights again. But—it was discovered that the towels turned out during that interval of mechanical anarchy were of a texture quite unrivaled for use as bath towels. At once the machinery was set going backward again, and has been traveling In that: direction ever since, to the great delight of the stockholders in the towel company. James H.

Coughing is one of the nuisances that no one has been able to abolish {nm churches or in’ theaters. A phy- siclan, however, claims that the coughing nuisance {s a mere question of acoustics. “There is a subtle connection be- tween the ear and the throat,” he said. “When the ear {s strained the throat is affected and a cough is the Tesult, “When we can hear perfectly in church or theater It never, occurs to us to cough. But when we bend for- ward, straining every nerve to catch the actor’s or preacher's muffied syl- lables, then we find ourselves cough- ing every little while. Build audi- toriums with perfect acoustic proper- tles, and I warrant that the thunder- ous choruses of coughs, so common now among us, will be no more heard.” e e W.Sidney Pittman e Architect RENDERING IN PATENT DRAWHOES ‘MONOTONE, WATER COLOR BRAPTING, DETAILING, TRACAM- AND PEN & INK BLUE PRINTING STEEL CONSTRUCTION A SPECIALTY.

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.
