VOL.XXX NO 11 For some time I have watched the growing and popular career of Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, North Carolina, the leader and exponent of the new educational propaganda, which has for its purpose moral and religious education as a basis of good citizenship. Dr. Shepard believes that many of the ills and burdens to which the race is subject would disappear, if the conscience, not only of the Negro, but of the whole people (including Negro hating Southerners) were heightened through the medium of moral and religious enlightenment! Nor is Dr. Shepard alone in this school of thought. Daily its numbers are growing. Educational institutions all over the land are giving more attention to this line of instruction than ever before. "Bible Colleges", which of late are becoming very popular and quite numerous, had their impetus in the increased and growing desire to Christianize and moralize the minds of men. Without attempting to disparage any established system of education (literary, industrial, manual or what not—for they are all good—I desire to add my unqualified endorsement and approval of Dr. Shepard's great work and its purposes. For a long time I have subscribed to this view: a good many years ago, in the now defunct "Record," I wrote: "I believe that religious education is to be an important remedy for lynchings and discriminations, to which the Negro is subjected in the South: education, not alone for the Negro, but alike for the Negro-hating hoodlum element of the South, with a view to heightening their consciences and teaching them that the life of a Negro is worth a little more than that of a brute!" With their souls and consciences thus expanded through the influence of such a system of education, viciously inclined Negroes will give less cause for mob outbreaks and friction between the races; and the white, similarly inclined, will be more forbearing and magnanimous. Moral and religious education is the paramount education. The heart once made right, all else will be right. Injustice, brutality, criminality and all forms of wrong doing have their birth and inception in a sinful and lascivious mind; and no system of education which has for its purpose the prevention or blotting out of these vices can take second place in our scheme for the betterment of our material and social welfare. Let the good work go on. Let us encourage Dr. Shepard in his great work. Let ministers of the gospel everywhere, without regard to denomnational differences or conflicting schemes for the upbuilding of the race, hold up his arm; for, it is my opinion that the record of history will show that Dr. Shepard, in this great undertaking, has "builted more wisely than he knew." John T. C. Newsom. SUMMER SCHOOL AT CHEY- Cheyney, Pa., Aug. 1.—The summer school of the Institute for Colored Youth, Cheyney, Pennsylvania, is now in session and will continue to Friday, July 30. There are in attendance seventy-five teachers representing fourteen different states, and coming from as far south as Key West, Florida, from as far west as Oklahoma, and from as far north as Ohio. This number does not represent half the number of teachers who applied for admission, but who could not be admitted on account of limited dormitory and dining room facilities. This school, it seems, did not originate in imitation of other schools already in existence. The principal, from a knowledge of the general educational situation, and more specifically the financial condition and intellectual limitations of many of the teachers, after consultation with many far-seeing educators, among them Dr. Booker T. Washington, decided to open a summer The question naturally arose as to whether such a summer school was a necessity. Would it meet a condition that was not already provided for in the advanced summer schools of the North, East and West? As has already been intimated for a school to justify its existence, it must supply a present felt need. To supply such a need, those who are responsible for the school's establishment must faithfully and fully interpret the economic and educational environment of those who are to profit by its instruction. It is not to the discredit of the rural colored teacher to say that the masses of them began their work of teaching with little academic preparation, and before much of the matter and method was introduced into our present day educational program. We say not to their discredit, because of a previous lack of educational opportunity, the low standard of requirement and the small salary paid for the service rendered. Boon, for the Teacher However, let this be as it may, the teacher now finds herself working in the midst of a changed and ever changing situation, and if she is to continue to work, she must read into it, a meaning characterized by an intelligent appreciation of her own social and economic conditions and must possess a knowledge of the matter and method by which to bring about the right adjustment between her pupils and the environment in which they live. With respect to the colored teacher this meaning, different in degree if not in kind from others engaged in the teaching profession. The advanced schools referred to are organized to meet the needs of men and women who are well trained, academically, those who are to do in the main the larger work of supervision, who are to make courses of study, who are to teach pupils of superior opportunity and last but not least who draw salaries that will justify an outlay of over a hundred dollars for a summer course. In short then the problem of a summer school for colored teachers is this: To provide the best and most advanced pedagogical thought; to adapt such thought to the present intellectual viewpoint of the teacher; to provide it at a cost within the reach of teachers who are teaching at starvation salaries. An interview with the Cheyney summer school officials reveals how successfully they have been able to work out this problem for at least five summers, at a great financial sacrifice and through much painstaking and earnest effort. First, the instructors represent strong academic preparation, and broad educational experience. They represent the academic preparation of the best city and country school systems in the country, and the professional training of the summer schools of Columbia, Harvard and Chicaga Universities, Ypsilanti Normal of Michigan, and of the Institute for Colored Youth itself. These instructors in their regular school work teach colored children or supervise colored teachers. Thus these instructors have the same viewpoint as the colored teachers. They know the social conditions and limitations of the colored children, and bring to the work a sympathy, a knowledge of organization and adaptability which insofar as it relates to colored children, is possessed only by the colored teacher. Difficulties Easily Surmounted. Whatever problems may be raised by the teachers, problems growing out of and affecting their own situations, the instructor, having encountered a similar problem, is prepared to offer a solution, which is a part of his own experience. The cost of the summer school to the teacher is ten dollars, just enough, through the most approved and efficient methods of handling food stuffs to cover the cost of the board. Some idea of the sacrifice these teachers are making in paying this amount will be understood when it is known that even ten dollars is as much as one-half and in some cases more than one-half of what WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SA HON. WALTER I. SMITH, OF WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 14, 1909 W. H. they make in a mouth. Hence the need of providing a summer school that shall be almost free to them. The instructors are paid by subscription, raised through the seriously earnest and ever faithful Board of Managers. This entails upon them work of no small proportion, and it falls upon them at each recurring term. A permanent fund, assuring the continuance of this important work would be a very wise and helpful charity. No word of complaint on any g has been made against these men and women. Instead the d grows greater every year for teachers who know how to direct activities of the head, the heart he hand. The management invites all p interested in education to visit school, to see the work that is done. Chester Times, July 26, 19 The school really impresses one as being a personality rather than an institution. There is so much of related life and sympathy of interest that as one views it, he sees it as a responsive and responsible human agency, working out some problem for the betterment of life conditions. This coloring is given to the institution by its faithful principal, Professor Hugh M. Browne, his wife, and his corps of teachers, and the Board of Managers, to whom reference has been made, who work with a oneness and tenacity of purpose, in season and out, that the school might fulfill its mission of reaching through the teachers the needy colored boys and girls. The School's Ideal The ideal of the school is quality, ot quantity. This ideal is largely realized, because the numbers are small and can be easily handled. The individual needs of the individual teacher are studied and are supplied by an intelligent selection, organization and correlation of the subject matter and method of instruction. Each pupil has the widest opportunity to test his theory in the light of application. So that what is impressed is expressed, and what is learned is fixed, and society gets what it demands in the way of useful practical working men and women. The mistake of making the manual and industrial branches a substitute for the academic branches has not been made. The school believes in the spiritual self, and aims to reach it in its work and organization through the more ethical subjects. It does, however, reflect the opinion that all subjects are mutually inclusive and related and that each is the stronger for having the other as its supplement. The far reaching effects of an institution can best be known when it is studied more in the concrete; how it has maintained itself through it many years of service, and lastly how its graduates go out and become the apostles of the truths and principles for which the school stands—industry, honesty, sobriety, efficiency. The effects of this school, though young, under its present principal and in its present home have gone out into quite broad latitudes. Her graduates are employed in the public schools of the south, in the public schools of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois, and in such well-known institutions as Tuskegee and Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Missouri. SATURDAY AUGUST 14, 1909 COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. No word of complaint on any ground has been made against these young men and women. Instead the demand grows greater every year for these teachers who know how to direct the activities of the head, the heart, and he hand. The management invites all persons interested in education to visit the school, to see the work that is being done. THE FIGHTING TENTH "You have done more to kill race prejudice than all others. If the people of Vermont don't treat you right, come back here. The State of New York and the United States demand for you the respect of the community and State in which you are stationed." (Extract from a welcome address to the Tenth Cavalry by President McGowan of New York.) There's been reams of prose and poetry of the great rough riders bold Of their pedigrees and prowess there has naught been left untold. How they with their darling leader, now ex-President of this land Went forth to fight the Spaniards, a brave and fearless band. Both historians and rhymesters seem to have lost their strength Or else to have forgotten there was a "fighting Tenth." The "fighting Tenth" was there though, the brave "old Ninth" was too; They with the twenty-fourth and fifth showed what black men can do. When bullets mowed down cowboys like chaff before the wind, The black boys jumped into the breach, they would not stay behind. And like fire-eating demons they marched up San Juan Hill And whipped those bloody Spaniads till everything stood still. The "fighting Tenth" won glory for all our race that day, They proved that we could still fight, as well as sing or pray. They proved that our allegiance is no pretense or sham, That when the cause demands it we'll die for "Uncle Sam." They proved that blood nor color counts naught against our race When there are lives in danger when there are foes to face. The "fighting Tenth" won honor In lands beyond the seas, 'Tis time that they were given a little rest and ease. If way up in old Vermont the folks will not endure, There's other states that's waiting, whose welcome is quite sure. No need for them to worry, for they have shown their strength, The tried, the true, the loyal, the brave old Fighting Tenth. -James Conway Jackson. The assembly of the Church of God and the Saints of Christ, which was held her to provide episcopal heads for the division which refused to accept Bishop Graves as the ruler to succeed the late prophet, William S. Crowdy, has elected the following: Chief Evangelist, Joseph Crowdy of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania., Grandfather Abraham of Boston, Massachusetts, and Evangelist Brent, of Camden, New Jersey. They were then ordained and confirmed by the presbytery board. The country was divided into the eastern, western, and southern episcopal divisions, each to be provided over by one of the newly elected bishops. Augustus Crowdy, son of the late prophet Crowdy, was ordained an elder, and will leave for his field of labor in North Carolina, today. Elder Oliver Tyler was re-appointed as pastor of the local church, and Elder E. B. Williams retains his position as chief local manager and head of the work in the District of Columbia. It was decided to hold the next feast of the passover in this city. DR SHEPARD Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, North Carolina, passed through the city last Sunday afternoon bound for Durham, North Carolina. To a representative of The Bee the distinguished educator said that he had flattering success for his school while in the North. He stopped over in Richmond, Virginia, and then he left for his home in Durham, where he will resume his work upon his new school which is to be the greatest institution in the South. NEW THEATRE Mr. Luke Karney, one of the best known business men in the west end, is building a new five cent theatre at 1838 L street, northwest. There is to be no discrimination on account of color. The work is being done by colored men. OUARTER CENTURY "Special to The Washington Bee" W. R.

Every True Reformer of this most successful Negro organization is expected to decorate his or her home in honor of this occasion. BAPTISTS HOLD COMMUNION Special communion services were held last Sunday night at the Tenth Street Baptist Church, Tenth and R streets, northwest, conducted by Rev. Aquilla Sayles, pastor of the Providence Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. A. B. Graves, of the Washington Bible Society, Rev. R. W. Alexander, of Plainfield, New Jersey, and Rev. F. Geriah Lambkins, regular pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist church. An informal reception was given the deacons, including Joseph Ellis, J. W. Marshall, George W. Hill, E. F. Jiggets, Charles P. James, and James Walls. Rev. Dr. Lambkin is leading a movement to establish an industrial school in Maryland, and has thus far met with much success. A GOOD WOMAN GONE A GOOD WOMAN GONE The sudden death of Mrs. Winslow, the wife of Undertaker James H. Winslow at Asbury Park, last Saturday was a shock to the people of this city. Mrs. Winslow was a woman of fine qualities and one loved by all who knew her. The ceremonies were sad. READ THE BEE. THE TENTH CAVALRY From the Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer. The city of Burlington, Vermont, is angry because the colored troopers of the Tenth Cavalry are to be assigned to Fort Ethn Allen, three miles from Burlington. Burlington does not want the colored soldiers in such close proximity, does not want the colored soldiers in such close proximity, does not want them to ride in the street cars, does not desire to have anything to do with them. Such is the reward tendered by this Vermont town to the best and bravest body of troops tha has fought for the United States since the close of the Civil War. The men of the Tenth cavalry are the men who won the bloody battle of San Juan Hill. To many Americans the campaign of Santiago de Cuba may appear a joke. But it was no joke to the men who took part in it. Inefficiently commanded, vilely provisioned, enduring the fearful heat of a Cuban summer, soaked by unending rains, sick with fever, tired, almost starving, the American soldiers engaged in battle after battle with an enemy of undoubted bravery and ability. Not without complaint. The ridiculous incapacity of most of the leaders and the vicious negligence of the war department were not overlooked by the volunteers who were enjoying their first taste of service. But if the trained and hardened men of the Tenth cavalry complained there is no record of it. San Juan Hill is on a low ridge overlooking the San Juan Valley and on it the Spaniards were entrenched to block the approach of the Americans to Santiago. At El Caney, on the Spanish left. General Lawton fought all day with a force of Spaniards which he outnumbered five to one, and won only when most of the enemy had been killed or wounded. The main battle was at San Juan ridge, where the slopes were covered with wire entanglements, and the summit crowned by block houses and earthworks. The "Rough Riders" were in this charge, undoubtedly. But the men—not "Rough Riders"—who took part in the fight, tell stories of how the lovely combination of broncho busters and kid gloved warriors from 5th avenue and Newport wavered and would have broken had it not been the example and support of the black troopers of the Tenth. These were the men who stormed the works who never flinched under the hottest fire, who bore up the "Rough Riders" and gained for them the credit of winning the only important pitched battle fought by American troops since '65. But the Tenth Cavalry had no one to blow and brag about them. They had no official press agent in a high place. Their commander wrote no books about how he conquered Spain. They have not held picturesque reunions; they have no been favored applicants for federal jobs; they have not even become drawing rom heroes. They were merely professional soldiers who did the work they were paid for doing; and quite as an incident, won the battle of San Juan Hill. Since the war the Tenth has been here and there, and has just returned from long and efficient service in the Philippines. At Fort Ethan Allen the men will not have much to do, and will enjoy a period of well earned rest. These are the men whom the sensitive people of Burlington object to having as temporary neighbors. It would be but a display of sense and decency for Burlington to make a festival to welcome the soldiers who so well fought for the American flag; who are above any others deserving of honor at the hands of the Americans. Mrs. Fannie R. Brown, sister of the late J. T. C. Brown, (of Simon's Commandery) departed this life on July 14, at her residence, 430 Sixth-and-a-half street, southwest. Deceased was one of the oldest residents in South Washington. Her funeral tookp lace Sunday from the Union Wesley Church Church, Rev. W. A. Ray, pastor. Interment in Harmony Cemetery. 1.

English Writer Has Sounded a Warning 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 appeal. I advise you to watch this man closely for he will presently demonstrate 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 be 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 loins. You will go in fear of him; he 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. Whatever you gain, he will gain more. I would like you better to be that man, because from the lower point of view it doesn't pay to be possessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth is 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 danger also of losing your soul.—Rudyard Kipling. CARRIED AVERSION TO GRAVE. With Thought of Death Before Him, Atlantan Was Strong on Antipathy to Water. Obsessed for years with the notion that water is fit for drinking purposes only, and then only in small doses, Joe Booth, a well-known character 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 weigh on his heart. "I ain't got long in this world," he said. "I want to make one last request. 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 moment 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." --- shadow On the stream falls dark at eve; For I Mr. Boud promised it should even be so, and Booth went out with an ecstatic 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 purposes. How that towel first happened to be made in the form which has proved so profitable to its makers is the subject of an amusing legend. It savors strongly of belonging to the "too good to be true" genus of anecdotes, and is 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, practically, to go backward. There was much excitement. Eventually the machinery 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. To Stop Coughing Coughing is one of the nuisances that no one has been able to abolish in churches or in theaters. A physician, however, claims that the coughing nuisance is a mere question of acoustics. "There is a subtle connection between the ear and the throat," he said. "When the ear is strained the throat is affected and a cough is the result. "When we can hear perfectly in church or theater it never occurs to us to cough. But when we bend forward, straining every nerve to catch the actor's or preacher's muffled syllables, then we find ourselves coughing every little while. Build auditoriums with perfect acoustic properties, and I warrant that the thunderous choruses of coughs, so common now among us, will be no more heard." Trouble. Trouble, in whatever shape it comes, is a hard discipline. We must always remember that all that really counts is the way we bear it. To give in to a woe, an illness, poverty, heart-sickness, loneliness, loss, is to aggravate it. To hope for better things, to strive womanfully for courage, to seek distraction and turn a happy face to the world is to build a better future, oftentimes on the very ruins of the disaster that now looms so large.

"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 sike 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 gigantle wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharpier $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignoramus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall 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 considerable shock. N. Y. World. Odd South American Animals Many curious animals mount the marshy parts of South 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 coypu rat and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins treops 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 statueque on one leg and wrapped in prospection. -Scotsman. The Gingko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Stopes of the fossil flora of Scotland have shown that the gingke 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 gingke, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oolite series, at Brora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that it 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 for *Dolen skirts* especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each leaf can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balzac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the sexton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or disearned articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Vionza 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. Gall Teothpicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 20,888,000 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.

Washington.—Walter Ell Clark, recently appointed governor of Alaska by President Taft, has been clothing clerk, school principal, newspaper man and miner. He was born in Ashford, Conn., in 1869. As a young man he chopped wood and worked in a clothing store to make his way through the State Normal school at New Britain. At the age of 18 he became principal of a school of 500 pupils in Manchester. J. WALTER E. CLARK, New Governor of Alaska. Conn. Later he entered Wesleyan university, Easstampton, Mass. After graduating he became a full-fledged newspaperman, starting at a salary of $6 a week and working up in the business until he became a Washington correspondent. He remained in Washington throughout the Spanish-American war. Neglecting the newspaper business when the first rush for the Alaskan gold fields was on he went to Nome and turned miner. But by the time Mr. Clark had reached Nome placer mining (the washing out of the gold by hand), had become a venture of no profit and he was compelled to accept defeat. But before leaving Alaska its future governor made a trip around the peninsula in the revenue cutter Bear, going as far as Indian Head on the northeastern coast of Siberia. Returning to Seattle he was engaged as Washington correspondent of the Seattle Post-Intelligence. In this connection Mr. Clark mentioned to his employers the possibilities of a special Alaskan industrial edition. In getting the material for this edition, which won Mr. Clark his reputation as an Alaskan expert, he and his wife, formerly Miss Lucy Norvell, magazine writer, made an 8,000-mile trip through the frozen north, visiting every mining camp of consequence. The late E. A. Hitchcock, secretary of the interior, on the strength of this edition, recommended Mr. Clark as governor to succeed John G. Brady. He refused to take the place, but when it became a question of getting a successor for Gov. Hoggatt, Mr. Clark's name was, again suggested. This time he took the job. AIRSHIP ON UNUSUAL LINES. Muskegon Man's Odd Model, Which Was Inspired by Scriptures—Motive Power Is Secret. Musgegon, Mich.—The ceaseless quest for the "airship that will fly" 4 The Chaukhim "The Cherubim." has developed many queer ideas, but the palm for quaintness goes to D. C. Clark, an inventor of Muskegon. Mr. Clark, who was trained for an engineering profession, has devoted his life to photography, has given his spare time for the last ten years toward perfecting a plan for the navigation of the air which came to him while reading the Bible. He calls his airship "The Cherubim." The inventor's idea was obtained from the tenth chapter of Ezekiel, where the prophet avers that he saw cherubim, and that the heavenly visitors had wheels. A dummy model which Mr. Clark has made for his airship shows the four wheels and the "eyes" which are holes in the wheels. But the secret of the means of navigation is not to be found in the model. It lies in the "wheel in the midst of the wheel." The inventor has not secured his patent and until he does so is jealously guarding the secret. He has conducted experiments on the bluffs at Lake Michigan Park with a working model, and when equipped with sufficient working capital and protected by patents, he will build a large model of "The Cherubim" and attempt a flight over Muskegon Lake. RELICS OF EMPRESS Objects Associated with Josephine in New French Museum. Malmalson, Home Purchased by Napoleon for His Beautiful Wife. Thrown Open to Public by the Government. Paris.—Josephine, who was the star of Napoleon's destiny, has at last a monument that all who go to Paris may visit. It is Josephine's museum, erected by the French government in the country house associated with the joys and struggles of her life before she met the conqueror; with her few married years of splendor and love; and with the sorrows of her divorce and lonely death. It is Malmalson. The museum is made up of a thousand familiar objects which surrounded her; and on June 1 opened the loan exhibition of things not yet gathered permanently together. There is the harp that Josephine never learned, to play—type of the broken music of her life; the silver gilt dinner service offered her by the city of Paris; her bed, her bath, her toilet table, her beauty utensils. There are 500 samples of damask, satin and tapestry furniture covers which Napoleon had brought to select from in imperial housekeeping. It is raw material of the imperial stage-setting never before exhibited. It shows Napoleon and Josephine as palace furnishers and makers of the empire style. Every school girl in America knows the story of Josephine; but how her destiny was bound up in this country house of the old regime is new history from documents and letters. Out the avenue of the Champs Elysees, beyond the Arc de Triomphe and the river, runs the ancient royal road to St. Germain. Six miles from Paris is Croissy village. Almost at its edge begin the wooded grounds of Malmaison. From Croissy village, in the days before Napoleon, a young mother took her two small children for their aliring to the shade of empty Mahmalson. The place was uninhabited. The young mother was glad. There was Newly-Opened Museum of Empress Josephine. no one to warn her off. She read her book while the kids played. She had $1,000 a year income, in her legal separation from a flirting old husband who had not appreciated her. She was at peace. It never came into her head to wish Malmalson hers. Yet it was Josephine. She had been married to de Beauharnals at Croissy church when but an awkward girl. She had fled to Croissy, when she found herself alone again. When she met Napoleon it was love at first sight. In a few months they were married. On his return from Italy, Josephine knew how great a man she had. He was looking for a country place to buy! "What kind?" she asked. "A chateau," said Napoleon. Stately Malmaison flashed across her mind. "I know a place," said Josephine, "Malmaison; close to Croissy!" "Malmaison will be our home," he said. The nation had put St. Cloud and Fontainebleau at his disposition. He preferred Malmaison. "It is our own place," he said to Josephine. France is a saving old land. Through revolutions of the utmost violence, the French civil service departments, treasuring all things confided to them, kept the raw material of that stage setting. Josephine reigned over the "home," an English word to which Napoleon had taken a sentimental fancy. She covered the park with flower beds, planted fancy trees, built hothouses and stocked the wood with thousands of gay birds that come flying in clouds to eat from silver-gilt trays perched on acajou poles. These were the happy days of Josephine. Only too soon, she was to live alone again. After her divorce—declared a state necessity—the senatus-consulto maintained her in the rank of a crowned empress, attributed 2,000,000 francs a year to her, with the chateaux of Navarre and Malmaison. To Malmaison she retired, to be near to Napoleon—although she should never see him. Again Malmaison became a silent park. As suddenly as it had bloomed into imperial activity, it faded to its former quiet. Again a mother walked with her two children in its shade—the children Eugene and Hortense, now grown up. Going through the grounds on a cold, damp day with Czar Alexander, Josephine took a chill—and died in the great silk-hung bed, now a part of the museum exhibits. After his return from Elba, Napoleon revisited Malmaison. In spite of the giant work of gathering, his armies together once again, he spent two days in dreaming over the chateau and garden. THE BEE Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. e copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months......50 Subscription monthly......20 THE TEACHER That the teachers in the colored public schools are uneasy is a mild expression of the feeling that exists. They seem to be cringing like a lot of female slaves without protection. The Bee refers to the female teachers in particular. Certainly the Board of Education or a committee from the Board, should be appointed to ascertain the cause of this unrest. Never before in the history of the colored schools has such discontent existed. The appointment of Mr. Horner, Miss Munsey and Miss Hill would disclose facts and conditions that would startle the community. If the Board of Education expects good results from the teachers next school term, it must throw around them its strong protecting arms. The Bee is friendly disposed to the schools, but it cannot close its eyes and silence its tongue when a movement is on foot to throw the Negro schools in Congress for investigation. Teachers have been transferred and demoted without investigation. Some of the best teachers in the corps have been demoted on the recommendation of certain supervising principals. The school law that passed Congress must mean something or nothing. Schemes seem to have been inaugurated to injure good teachers. The Bee is still opposed to the importation of outsiders for our high school. It is a shame that outsiders should be brought to the city and placed at the head of our high school over so many competent teachers in our schools. The citizens will be compelled to act in self defense. While The Bee regrets so much agitation about the schools it must be admitted that recent events have been the cause. If Congress should investigate the schools, what will the result be? We can only judge by the past. Two of the most flagrant demotions that have taken place in the public schools were those of the Peterson sisters. Dr. Chancellor, before he was removed, admitted that a wrong had been committed and it should be righted. If Dr. Chancellor's opinion, at the time of the transfer of the teachers, was correct and he was willing to right a wrong, why can't that wrong be righted today? The manly teacher is more suspected today than the cringing teacher. The teacher in the school should be respected and protected. THE PULPIT VS. SALOONS Is the pulpit consistent? The frequent attacks on the saloons by the pulpit should be sufficient cause for the people to stop and consider what it all means and whether the pulpit is consistent. There are some honest men in the pulpit; men whose morals are above reproach. But, it is ridiculous to see and hear a minister attack saloons and those who desire to take a drink of liquor, when his morals are not above suspicion. The Bee knows of men who claim to be Christian ministers, who condemn whiskey and saloons, but seek to destroy the honor of every good-looking female they may come in contact with. The Bee is aware of certain ministers who drink whiskey and at the same time condemn others who have an appetite for it Is this consistency or hypocritical? Some of them condemn immorality and at the same time have a dozen mistresses. They do their rascally work under cover and condemn the working man or laborer who indulges in a little beer or whiskey. There is a great need for reformation in the pulpit today. Take for instance these so-called temperance advocates. They are the worst set of hypocrites living. They are pretenders, pure and simple. You can see them now, addressing an audience on temperance and at the next meeting you will see many of them in a sporting house or looking after sporting women. Many of the pulpits are not doing their duty. They attempt to make a mockery of saloons and they commit acts injurious to society. HOWARD UNIVERSITY There are many reforms needed at Howard University. The most important is a matron of executive ability and one who has control of, and interest in the female students. President Thirkield should eliminate the weekly reception, at which the female students come in contact with the male students. There should be separate dining rooms for male and female students. There should be a monitor stationed in the halls of the University, whose duty it should be to report any irregularity or misbehavior among students, or the regulations should be such as to make the students obey the rules of the institution. All disloyal employees in the institution should be dismissed at once. The Bee is friendly toward the university because . it believes that the president is doing all he can to make the university a success. WAS SUTTON SHOT? The disgraceful scene at Annapolis, Maryland, otherwise the investigation of the death of Lieutenant Sutton. to an observer or the outsider, his verdict would be that the officer was shot to death, but by whom is a question of conjecture. Had the affair been a Negro fight, the civilized world would have said that Negroes were incapable and unfit to be at the head of a place like the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Lieutenant Sutton was shot by some one and the grand jury of Maryland should investigate it. Henry M. Swartz, the new witness, makes out a prima facie case for the grand jury. The Navy Department is in duty bound to see that the death of Lieutenant Sutton is not white washed. He certainly did not commit suicide. DR. WASHINGTON Perhaps Dr. Booker T. Washington has made a few mistakes and perhaps he has not. Let us stop and consider for a moment what these mistakes are: He made a mistake in contributing aid to those institutions that cannot appreciate the services of a good man. He made a mistake in allowing blacklegs to betray his confidence after helping them. He has done and is doing for the Negro what he cannot do for himself. He is spending money and wasting time to civilize a nation of heathen Negroes without any hope of reward. He has erected a monument to the Negroes at Tuskegee, Alabama. He is entitled to the respect and confidence of the Negro American for what he is doing for him, be it much or little. No doubt the people in this community have witnessed lots of things, but the ridiculous performances that have been exhibited in this city are the walking ministerial minstrels and side shows that have made the nights ridiculous. The Negro ministers go from church to church with their musical instruments and perform like a lot of monkeys. These performances would be good circuses for fools, but for so-called intelligent men and ministers of the gospel to be the participants, makes it more ridiculous. This is a poor way to get money for the church, or for the participants. No white minister with a grain of respectability would be guilty of such performances. THE NEGRO AND THE ADMINISTRATION The colored politician would endeavor to have the colored American believe that the administration is inimical to him. It is a false charge. President Taft, no matter what his Southern policy may be is a friend to the Negro race. It must be admitted that the administration has done nothing to disfranchise the Negro, but it has done everything in its power to see that the Negro is protected. Has the Democratic party done anything to assist the Negro? The State of Maryland has fully demonstrated how valuable the Negro is in that state. Ex-Attorney General Bonaparte, formerly in the Cabinet of Colonel Roosevelt, is now battling in his state for the Negro. Can there be found another ex-Cabinet officer doing anything for the Negro? RIGHT IDEAS The National Negro Business League, with its many hundred local organizations in the several states, will be potent factors in this country shortly: The Negro is beginning to learn some sense. He is doing today what he should have done after his emancipation. Had he gone into business instead of politics, and had he made terms with those who once enslaved him, his condition would have been 100 per cent better today. While the Negro may be criticised and ostracised, he is the coming factor in the country. He will become a factor through the aid of such men as Dr. James E. Shepard and Dr. Booker T. Washington, who have the right idea of the Negro's needs. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A few colored appointments. A strong Negro Business League in the city. Negro attorneys united. Dr. James E. Shepard succeed in his new propaganda. The School for Colored Women be a factor in deed and in fact. Commissioner Macfarland reappointed. Judge O. G. Kimball his own successor. The remaining bachelors marry. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TOO KNOW The number of disgruntled politicians in town. The number of candidates for Recorder of Deeds. Why the citizens of Fairmount Heights failed to reelect W. Sidney Pitman president. Why there cannot be a Negro detective appointed at headquarters or in a precinct. Why the outs want to get in Freedman's Hospital. Why some lawyers succeed when others fail. A united Negro bar. Less quarreling in and around the police court. A few bachelors marry. Negro men respect their women. More honesty in the pulpit. Rev. Waldron explain his invitation to the Personal Liberty League. An explanation from him on the liquor question. A Negro detective sergeant appointed. A few colored clerks appointed in the District Building. POLITICAL NEWS ABOUT TOWN The colored combination of politicians have removed headquarters to the Hudnell. A North Carolina paper is of the opinion that Recorder Dancy has held office long enough. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, will be appointed in a few day to a big job. L. G. Jordan of Louisville, Kentucky, who gave aid to the Democratic party last November, is willing to return to his home. He is not wanted. PPARAGRAPHIC NEWS A $50,000 library building is to be erected in the University of Mississippi campus. Lawrence Halloran, who saved the lives of eighteen children when the steamer General Slocum was on fire, and for which Carnegie gave him a medal, died July 31, 1909, in New York. Forty little colored children go out every two weeks to enjoy the beauties and benefits of country life at Camp Pleasant, located at Tuxedo, Maryland. The camp is under the direction of the Associated Charities. Rev. Dr. I. H. Fulton has been selected to serve as one of the trustees for the National ReligiousTraining School and Chautauqua, which will soon be erected at Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Fulton is eminently fitted by both literary training and years of experience for the position he is going to hold. The fifth annual meeting of the Niagara Movement, Dr. W.E. B. Dubois, General Secretary, will be held at Sea Isle City, near Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 15 to 18. Colored Anti-Tuberculosis Leagues have been formed in several states. Dr. Wertenbacker, who has been organizing the League, says it has met with general approval. One feature of the plan is to give certificates of membership of the League, containing printed matter relative to the cause, prevention and cure of the dreaded disease. Leagues have been organized in the following states: Georgia, President, R. R. Wright; Louisiana, Peresident,Dr. J. H. Murray; Mississippi, President, Dr. D. W. Sherrod, North Carolina, President, James B. Dudley; Virginia, President, Major Moten, A prisoner at the workhouse who has refused to sign his name for fear of punishment, has written a letter to the District Commissioners saying: "the prisoners are made to work, when they are too ill to perform hard labor, and are not given proper food." Charitable people are contributing to the fund to be used in repairing the Home for Friendless Girls, for occupancy. It is said $87.15 was collected last week. Three hundred dollars are now in the hands of the treasurer and $900 more is needed. A handsome monument has been erected to the memory of Confederate soldiers, by the McComas Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy. It was unveiled August 8, at Pearisburg, Virginia. Among the speakers were Governor Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia, and Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, of Galveston, Texas, President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. This little place furnished 800 soldiers for the Confederate army. Our eyes must come open; where is one monument erected by Negroes to the gallant colored soldiers who fought to defend the flag? The suggestions of Professor J. E. Bowen, published last week, proposing a semi-centennial celebration of Negro freedom is meeting with the hearty endorsement of all classes. It is said a Negro town is being built up in Pennsylvania, a few miles outside of Philadelphia, at Sharon Ex-Register J. W. Lyons, has returned to Augusta, Georgia. He will return again some day and then he will make Rome howr. The Negro politician South doesn't call for much. The Negro politician has but a little pull at the White House. Douglass Wetmore, who called on President Taft to ascertain the power of Dr. Washington, returned to New York without the required information. TheNegro politician of Maryland may be recognized in the shuffle. Hall. The pastors of churches and other local business men are interested in the enterprise. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has just given $15,000 for a library at Knox Institute. Dr. W. S. Smith has not opened a drug store at Fourth and Elm streets. Dr. Phillips of Anacostia, has taken the one formerly operated by Dr. Smith. It is said August 8 was the hottest day of the year thus far in this city. Dr. George H. Stover, of Denver, Colorado, has had twenty-five cancerous growths removed from his hands and substitutions was made with as many slices of skin from his arms. According to Dr. Porter, of Harvard Medical School, the operation will be a perfect success. Dr. Stover is a well known X-Ray expert, and the growths came from exposure to the powerful rays. Dr. William Tindall, Secretary to the Board of Commissioners, has returned from a visit to Seattle and Portland. The Yukon-Alaskan exposition is well worth this trip across the continent. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW The name of the next Recorder of Deeds. The successor of Justice R. H. Terrell. The next teacher whose head is to be cut off. The names of the members of the Citizens' Committee. What Congress will do to the Negro schools. If a few colored men are to be appointed. If Rev. Dr. Drew has found what he was looking for. If immorality is to continue in the pulpit. If Negro men intend to protect their women. How many college graduates have succeeded as teachers in the public schools of this city. How a boss feels when he loses his power and is reduced. Why a deceitful man shows his teeth and gums when he talks. Why some lawyers love to display their rolls. Why some people would rather lie than tell the truth. Why some people would rather read The Bee than any other paper. BECAUSE Becaues you are a fool is no reason that you are going to continue to be one. Becaues you stab your friend in the back is no evidence of your dishonesty in other mean things. Becaues you would rather lie than tell the truth is not always sufficient cause that you will not reform. Becaua a man has a big name is no evidence that he is powerful. Because President Taft has told the South that no objectionable person is to be appointed in that section is not sufficient to warrant the execution of the act. Becaua a man declares that he is secure in his position is not sufficient cause to keep other people from applying for the place There is nothing in store for the Pennsylvania Negro politician. The Washington delegation to the last Republican convention is living in hopes—of a better day. There are five local lawyers who are candidates for Judge Terrell's place. President Taft is undecided just what he will do when a few terms expire. The man who talks the loudest is the one that is fearful of losing his job. Minister Furniss is giving satisfaction. His reports are sought after by the largest countries in the world. VARDAMAN IN ERUPTION From the Greenville, Mississippi Times Governor Vardama's recent editorial on the Lampton affair is an afront to the people of Greenville. We are not disposed at this time to question the Governor's abstract right to belch his bile over the general public, using as an emetic the false issue of "The Impending Crisis," but we do protest against his interference with the affairs of Greenville and Washington county. The Lampton affair had no business in the columns of the public press—it was a mistake to have given it any such publicity; but it has been settled—settled by the people of Greenville, and in a manner satisfactory to those most concerned; and with all respect to Governor Vardaman, in a manner highly creditable to the sense of justice, intelligence and self-control of the people of this community; therefore it was an act of unpardonable impertinence for him to enter his dissent from the wisdom of our citizens and by his extravagant, not to say criminal, utterances seek to lash the passions of some into a fury.

Burton, as stenographer and typewriter at Howard University. We wish Miss Burton much success. Miss Highwarden and her daughter Miss Ethel, are spending the summer at Harpers Ferry. Mr. Henson, of New York, made a flying trip to Washington last week. While here he was the guest of Mr. Lucas, the bookkeeper of the Howard University. Mr. Henson is one of the secretaries to one of the most prominent members of the General Board of Education, and took great interest in visiting business places of interest in the District. Misses Natalie and Naomi Lewis will return to the city this week, after a most delightful stay in Columbus, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan. The Brightwood Citizens' Association met last Friday evening at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Grant, at Fort Stephens, District of Columbia. Under the careful supervision of Miss R. E. Bell, a most elaborate musical and literary program was rendered. The Misses Williams sang several beautiful quartets, with their father, Rev. E. W. Williams, D.D., which added a great deal to the occasion. After the exercises the association presented Mrs. Thomas, the President, and perhaps the oldest citizens in Brightwood, and one of the oldest in the District of Columbia, a handsome silk unbrella. Dr. Cherry made the remarks of presentation which were very appropriate. The most interesting part of the whole affair was the announcement that the guests were wanted in the dining room. They found a most elaborate spread of innumerable good things to eat awaiting them. Dr. Robert W. Brown spent a few days in Atlantic City. Miss Josephine Lawson spent a week at Mt.

Ceylon the Only Part of the World Where They Exist. What a slight 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 inlaising 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 formaton 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 parturge for the formation of ivory.—Ceylon Manual. Smokeless Coal. A Lendon inventor claims to have discovered a process for producing smokeless coal, apparently by distillation of coal at a low temperature. This, after distillation, is said to deposit a very brilliant substance, the heating properties of which are far greater than those of the original coal, and which is absolutely free from smoke and dirt. The inventor contends that efforts to overcome the smoke plague have hitherto been unsuccessful because they have been made in the wrong direction, and that by the extraction of the smoke-producing material in coal before being burned, he has been successful in producing a smokeless coal. Electrocuting 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 abbattoirs. He has been using the intermittent low tension currents and says that he is satisfied that the system is palpable, 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 undecorating to devise some piece of apparatus by which the killing of cattle may be accomplished by electricity with economy and speed. The Shy Man. Women show no mercy to the shy man, for he stands outside of the company of convention. Could he break out all might be saved; the man might be permanently orced. But he cannot. He has been brought up to respect convention. His muscles may be of steel, his heart of fire, but in his soul the spirit of diffidence holds him in a vise. In a drawing room he stands gaping, quakl g, a prey to introspective torment—he who would perhaps storm a rampart with a triumphant mille a his lips—London Observer. Knocking Pictures Dangerous. "Railroad casualties receive wide publicity," said an insurance man, "that there is a common belief on the part of the public that one is more liable to accidents while traveling than when living the simple life in the confines of his home. "As a matter of cold fact, statistics show that accident insurance companies pay more money to people who get hurt hanging pictures or taking stoves apart than they do to the victims of head-on collisions. It sounds strange, but it's the truth." —Kansas City Journal. Three Men to Move Book. There lies in the British Museums the largest book yet printed, a coiled atlas of engraved ancient Dutch maps. It takes three men to move it from the giant book case in which it is stored in the library of the museum. It is bound in leather, magnificently decorated, and is fastened with clasps of solid silver, richly gilt. It is nearly seven feet high and weighs 800 pounds and was presented to King Charles II. before he left Holland in the year 1660. Valuable East African Forest The Colonial Office recently sent out an expert to report on the Kenya forest, in the East Africa protectorate. He finds the forest extends 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 £22 per acre, or a total value for the whole forest of £22,000,000.—London Tit-Bits. Dead Historians. I for my part believe in the dead historians. I glory in the possession of some hundreds of volumes by them. A great deal of cant is talked and written on this subject. There is an idea in some minds that a book on history to be good must be new. In nine cases cut of ten the new book is a common-place re-statement of facts that were better presented by an older writer.—The Sphere. A Man and a Woman. A man's idea of being stylishly trimmed is to wear something in which he looks atrociously bad; a woman's idea of wearing something no other woman can duplicate. MINISTER TO CHINA Charles R. Crane Educated Without Aid of College. Has Visited Nearly Every Country on the Globe and Is Master of Several Languages—Well Acquainted with Orient. Chicago.—Charles R. Crane, newly appointed minister from the United States to China, is a rare type of citizen in that he was born to wealth and yet may be classed in the roll of self-made men. He was reared with the idea that a college education is not essential to the life success of a man who has a brain of his own and uses it. His schooling ended when he had done with the public school. What he has gathered of learning since then has been from books and from the world and its people as they have appeared to him in extensive travel. Richard T. Crane, Sr., father of Charles R. Crane, is vigorously opposed to modern methods of education as carried on in the great universities and many of the public schools. He does not believe these institutions fit a man properly for the battle of life, and says they are too theoretical and not sufficiently practical. He went so far as to declare it would be a good thing for one of the states if its state university buildings were blown up. Whether Charles R. Crane shared the educational views of his father, it is a fact that, instead of spending four years in college and winning a degree, he jumped at once from his boyhood schooling into the workshop and started the business career which CHASR GIANE has made him a man of practical mind and alert powers of observation. When the opportunity came he inaugurated a program of travel which sent him to many of the out of the way places of the world and gave him an intimate knowledge of affairs possessed by few men even in these days of globe trotting. Mr. Crane has set foot in nearly every country on the globe, has penetrated to out-of-the-way nooks and corners, has occasionally fitted out carvans of his own to explore unfrequented lands, and is as much at home in Russia or China as he is on his home street in Chicago. He is a linguist of considerable attainments, is a connoisseur in paintings, a collector of old and rare books and, what is more, a reader of the same. He is prominent as a civic enthusiast and for years has been a powerful factor in movements for the advancement of Chicago commercially, physically and morally. During his travels Mr. Crane spent much time in China, his business interests taking him into every province. He came into close contact with all classes of Mongolians. In his home is a large collection of curios of his many visits to China. In all his knocking about the globe, Mr. Crane was absorbing languages. In his library in his Michigan avenue home are books written in a dozen different languages. They are not sorted according to catalogues as a less scholarly owner would sort them, but instead are grouped under subject heads. Friends of Mr. Crane say that when he wants to look up a reference on a topic he goes to his shelves and takes down books in several different languages and reads them without the aid of a lexicon. He is said to read 12 languages and to speak with ease and fluency six br eight. Five years ago Mr. Crane added $10,000 of his personal fortune to "The Young Empress Fund" for Russian soldiers and sailors. This gift was made through Count Rostofstoff, chancellor of the empire, and for it the donor' was the recipient of grateful thanks from the empress. Long and close contact with official and civilian life of Russia has given him a friendly feeling toward that nation, but at the same time he has a warm spot in his heart for China and the Chinese. The feeling is said to be reciprocated. The Chinese have been drawn to other members of the family. Professor Williams, uncle of Mr. Crane, was professor of Chinese at Yale and he is the author of a book on China. Mrs. Crane was Miss Cornella W. Smith, whose girlhood home was Paterson, N. J., where she became the bride of Mr. Crane 28 years ago. Like her husband, her interests are in the more substantial things of life. Her name does not appear in the membership lists of any Chicago club. The family has a beautiful summer home at Lake Geneva, Wis., and another at Woods Hole, Mass. WHICH IS HOTTEST PLACE? Yuma, Arlz., and Needles, Cal., Where Thermometer Daily Reaches 120 Mark, Gliven Honor. New York.—With the advent of hot weather the old controversy between Yuma and Needles, the first in Arizona, and the other in California, as to which is the hottest place in the United States has been revived. Neither is clamoring for the distinction—oh, no, each is striving to thrust it upon the other! As a matter of fact, the difference is so slight that it isn't worth quarreling about. From nowon until late in September the mercury will climb up in the ```markdown ``` Hotel at Needlea, Caí. tube until it reaches the 120 mark nearly every day in both places; and there are weeks at a stretch when it never falls below 100 even at night. One can cook eggs hard by simply burying them in the hot sand. The Mojave Indians of the lower valley of the Colorado river always go barefoot, and the hot sands and stones have calloused their feet until they are as hard and as insensible to pain as the hoofs of a horse; they can walk through fire and trample red-hot coals without flinching. The extreme heat is due to the low altitude, combined with the proximity of the Colorado and Mojave deserts. For 1,000 miles on the east, and 500 on the north and west, stretches a waste of sand and cacti. With every mile traversed by the winds they gather heat, so that a cooling breeze from any direction is an impossibility. The man that traverses the deserts doesn't wonder that Yuma and Needles are hot. He only wonders that they are not white hot. Persons who can stand the excessive heat find Needles and Yuma health resort admiably adapted to the cure of consumption, bronchitis and rheumatism. However, most people would consider the disease more tolerable than the cure. A year ago a pretentious hotel was built at Needles for the purpose of exploiting the place as a winter resort. It is all right in winter time, but in the summer months New York's tenement districts are cool and delightful in comparison. Electric fans are installed in the hotel in every room and corridor, and wide balconies protect every apartment from ever receiving the direct rays of the sun. At nights guests pull their beds out on the corridors; but neither science nor ingenuity has devised a way of making life tolerable in Needles in summer time. NEW POST FOR LIEUT. GRANT. Grandson of Famous War General Is Superintendent of State, War and Navy Buildings at Capital. Washington.—First Lieut. Ulysses S. Grant, III., corps of engineers, United INVIT. U.S. GRANT States army, grandson of President Grant, the famous war general, has been appointed superintendent of the state, war and navy building at Washington. Capt. John H. Poole, corps of engineers, held the office of superintendent for about four years. He succeeded Rear Admiral George W. Baird of the navy. Capt. Poole made many reforms and improvements in what is known as "the biggest office building in the world," and reduced expenses considerably. He is relieved from this duty to enable him to take a two-year course of instruction at the School of the Line at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Officers of the army corps of engineers are eligible to detail to the superintendency since the naval corps of engineers was merged into the line of the navy several years ago. Lleut. Grant, the new superintendent, since his graduation near the head of his class at West point, in June, 1903, has served a tour of duty at the engineer school at Washington barracks, and also as one of the military aids of President Roosevelt. For several months past he has been stationed at Boston on duty in connection with the river and harbor works and fortifications in that vicinity. Last year he married Miss Edith Root, daughter of Senator Root, of New York.

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," 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, palned me very little and I gave it no further thought.

"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 Orthodox minister in West Virginia, has been married three times. Her malden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robia; her second husband, Sparrow; and the present one's name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow, and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swan, and another was a Jay; but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. "They live on Hawk-ave., Eagleville, Canary Islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a lyre bird and an interesting relative of the family." Arctic Dog Life. Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession—Alaska. In winter, when the more than 60,000 square miles of territory are sealed up in solid ice, dogs are almost the sole means of getting from place to place—in fact, they seem necessary to life itself. The aristocrats of Arctic dog like are the mail teams in the service of the United States Government. They are to-day a superior breed to the dogs employed some half dozen years ago before great gold discoveries demanded increased mail service—St. Nicholas. Names that Don't Names. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil, neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous exalic acid. Carbolic acid is not an acid but an alcohol. Cobalt contains none of that metal but arsenic. Soda water has no trace of soda, and sugar of lead has no sugar; cream of tartar has nothing of cream, nor milk of lime any milk. German silver has no silver and blacklead no lead. Dora Around Blacksmith Shops. Two or three dogs are nearly always to be found loafing about every blacksmith shop. This fact is so well recognized that detectives when sent out after valuable dogs that have been lost invariably visit first all the blacksmith shops in the neighborhood. The reason why dogs visit the blacksmith shops is that they love inordinately the odor and the taste of burning boots. They salify 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 severe attempts to arouse him. Lace Curtain. Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added, before being put into warm suds. This gives out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have been used in a crier. Life in Germany. Every one who has travelled in Germany is familiar with the word "verbeten"—forbidden. He finds it is verbeten to almost everything which he thinks he has been accustomed to do in the United States. Chicago Standard. A Valuable Role A thirteenth century copper and gilt otherium, supposed to have come from Malmesbury abbey, was sold by auction in London for $20,000. DEATH, THE GREAT LEVELER. In the Republic of the Grave There Is No Rank or Standing or Prerogative. In the democracy of the dead, all men at last are equal. There is neither rank nor standing nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wise, and the song of the poet is silent. Dives relinqulases his millions and Lazarus his rags. The poor man is as rich as the richest, and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debtor is acquitted of his obligation. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worldling his pleasures; the invalid needs no physician, and the laborer rests from unrequited toll. Here at last is nature's final decree in equity. The wrongs of time are redressed, injustice is explated, the irony of fate is refuted, the unequal distribution of wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and opportunity which makes life so cruel and inexplicable ceases in the realm of death. The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest captain succumbs to that invincible adversary, who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished.—John Ingalls: LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER. Two Traits That Are Distinctly American, But Lacking Wisdom, They Are as Nothing. It would hardly be thought necessary for anyone now to advise young men about to leave college to "honor money, honor money-getting and honor power," yet such was the strongest note of a baccalaureate orator at Dartmouth. If there is anything on earth or under the earth that on-coming Americans do not need to have urged upon them, it is love of money and love of power. This may be said without indorsing in any respect the malicious, and, for the greater part, insincere attacks upon wealth so often made by demagogues and hypocrites. The passion for money and the obsession of money-getting have become altogether too conspicuous as American traits. They bring little content to those who are thus afflicted, and they awaken resentment in the breasts of millions. In spite of new teachings and practices, knowledge still is power. Supplemented by wealth, knowledge becomes power triumphant. Without wisdom the power of money is lawless and destructive—a curse to its possessor and an evil example to the world. Conditional. The man of wealth showed her the check. "This," he said, "will pay for a new piano for your daughter. I admire her ambition and her patience. She deserves to become a great artist." The devoted mother smiled rapturously. "Ah," she cried, "you are too generous, sir! You are a true patron of the divine art! My daughter's efforts will be redoubled. Instead of practicing four hours a day, she will practice eight. Thank you, kind sir, thank you!" "One moment, madam," the man of wealth hastily interrupted. "There is a small condition attached to my gift. Your daughter must sign this paper. It pledges her not to play the new piano within ten miles of my residence, or any of my apartment houses." He held the check in one hand, while with the other he passed the contract. Dogs 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 majority and apparently the majority is helpless, without redress. Such are the safeguards which the law throws around property in dogs that it is more difficult to prove that the dogs of any given owner of dog property are pestilential disturbers of the peace than it is to prove a human being guilty of murder. Those who have tried this have found it to be so. The Man of Fifty. The man of 50 may lack something in both ambition and energy, but he has the advantages of experience and sounder judgment. His years have been ill 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 because he is no longer able to attend to his 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. "What makes your youngest son so eager for athletics?" "Filial admiration," answered the worried-looking mother. "He believes all the stories his father tells about the wonderful things he did when he was a boy and is trying to equal the record." 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

His Drive is a Strenuous Performance —A Laugh Invariable at the End of Each Strpke—His Putting Impressive. Washington.—When President Taft plays golf his style is most earnest when making the play and most non- chalant and deliberate between strokes. He walks from one drive to the other as though he was on a sauntering tour. When the president is to drive off he makes his own tee, of sand. He does not use the patent little rubber tee, nor does he have a caddy build the little mound for him. Mr. Taft's theory on this subject is that it is good for the general exercise of his body and specifically good for what might be termed his middle west to stoop down. So he does it. But the president stoops down in a way that never will reduce the waist line. He stands on one foot and elevates the other in the attitude of a man stretching across a billiard table for a long shot. Having placed the ball on the tee, the president takes a long, hard look at the course ahead. If there is conversation behind him he turns around and shouts "Forel!" in tone that cannot be mistaken. The president's swing at the ball on a drive, with a brassile on the fair green, is a strenuous performance. All of the Taft smile disappears, and the stern look he assumes would be a shock to the public that has an impression only of the "jolly" Taft. He sets his jaw as though about to yeto a tariff A President Taft as a Golfer. bill or defy Aldrich, and swings with all the force of something more than 300 pounds of active muscle and bone. Immediately the stroke is made the president assumes invariably one-attitude—that of anxious expectancy. He always "follows through" on drives and brassle or iron shots so his club comes up over the left shoulder. It remains there while he watches the course of the ball, his lips slightly apart and his body bent forward. When the ball has settled he straightens up and laughs. No one who ever played with the president missed that laugh at the end of his stroke. If the play is a good one the president's laugh is a shout; but even if it is a drive into a bunker or off the course, he laughs. Senator Bourne, Gen. Edwards, Vice-President Sherman and others who play often with Mr. Taft have remarked on the fact that he refuses to lose his temper. It makes it hard for a man who does get angry and swear, and these three feel that they have a grievance. No one of them hesitates to express his opinion of a ball that does not go where he intended to drive it, except when he is playing with the president. Mr. Taft probably is most impressive in his golf game when putting. His putter is a massive piece of wood, iron and lead. The face that strikes the ball is broad, corrugated and with weight behind it. The president does not smooth the turf in front of the ball before putting. He squares himself, carefully shifting his feet until he is directly in line with the hole. Then he puts with care, and watches, again, anxiously the course of the ball. If it goes around the cup, instead of into it, the president says "Pashaw." Then he laughs, and tries again. That laugh is the most trying part of being a partner or opponent of the president at golf. It gets on the nerves of a man who wants to swear. A Handy Man. "Why so sad?" queried the, young man, looking at her fondly. "Oh, nothing special; only I have troubles of my own," said the frail young thing, sighing. "I insist on taking a hand in them," he said, seizing a dainty palm that was wasting its time in her lap.—Boston Herald. W.C.

WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR The recent riot at Pittsburg goes to show the white brother of the United States the necessity of closer alliance with the colored brother The white people of the United States are so much mixed up that the only real American is the Indian and the colored man. Judge Kimball rendered a decision last week relating to the right to resist an officer. While this is very nice, we trust our people won't allow themselves to be fooled. A few years ago the officers of the District of Columbia were noted for the careless manner in which they used their clubs and blackjacks on colored prisoners—so we trust that we will take due notice, etc. There is one thing: we note in the white papers in regards to publication of matters appertaining to our people. vis. they use the word Negro in our opinion too much—the colored brother of the United States is a full-fledged American (deprived of his rights). He has been in every war that this country has had and has proved his right of citizenship on the field of battle. Consequently it would ed American, or colored citizen, or colored man. The word Negro applies to full-blooded Africans, and we have none of them in this country. It is only done as a slur upon us from a race standpoint.

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 in 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.
