VOL.XXX NO14 Man Of The Hour SUCCESS OF A YOUNG NEGRO Earl E. Ward, Starting With Nothing, Now Owns, and Manages, One of the Largest Transfer and Storage Companies in Ohio's Capital—A Case Where Pluck and Energy Won Success Columbus, O., Aug. 31.—With the growth of every city its businesses grow apace and with it, and no more fitting example of this is noted than the remarkable forging to the front of the E. F. Ward Transfer and Storage Company, whose stables and storage houses are located on the East Side, and which thriving section of the city has witnessed this growth from a one wagon line to its present proportions, with many wagons and a fine large storage warehouse, fire proof and devoted exclusively to the storing of household goods. These buildings are located in the square bounded by Champion, Franklin, Bryden, and Sherman avenues and are remarked every day for their cleanly appearance and well kept surroundings. There are three vital essentials in the storage business. First, fire protection, necessitating an absolutely fireproof building; second, cleanliness, and third, honesty and reliability on the part of the owner of the business. The Ward Transfer and Storage Company has gained and kept its customers mainly through a thorough desire to follow to the letter the three principles stated above, and the fact that the business has grown to such large dimensions in so short a time is sufficient evidence that their many patrons have been thoroughly satisfied in every particular. "How long have you been in the transfer business?" was asked of Mr. E. E. Ward, president of the company. Said he, "Well, about 10 years on my own account, though of course you might say that I have spent my entire life in it, for my father before me was one of the best known men in the business. I was virtually raised in it. "My father was in the business for many years, in fact, it was just after the war that he entered upon his duties with the widely known Columbus Transfer Company, where he was for many years in the capacity of foreman and where it was his duty to fix all prices for the handling of freight, merchandise, etc., to and from the depot and other parts of the city. Before that and during the Civil War my father was engaged in business with my grandfather, who had government contracts for hauling provisions to the commissary of Camp Chase, the old army post located a few miles west of the city. "Comparing our present equipment with that of the old days, it seems almost incredible that we could have accomplished as much as we most certainly did, but then, it was brawn first and brains and machinery second—now, of course, with the onward march of new and improved methods, all that has changed, and mere brawn and personal strength becomes of lesser importance, although it comes in mighty handy now and then. I have attempted to keep abreast of the times in the matter of equipment facilities and although it has taken large capital to do this, I firmly believe that it has paid and paid well. "Take in the case of my storage warehouse, and in which, by the way, I store nothing but household goods. When I built that building my fire insurance rate was reduced to a minimum, and no one in the city has a lower rate. In addition to the personal gain, I give my patrons a greater degree of safety and my organization becomes that much stronger and sought after." / "While the storage and transfer ends of the business are the dominant factors, yet there are other branches that deserve especial mention. Take the shipping and crating departments, where household goods are prepared for shipment. This, by the way, is a most difficult class of business to handle, since it requires the utmost skill to prepare glass and other fragile articles for shipment long distances, with no danger of MR.

I have made particular effort in one line of transfer work, and that is the moving pianos, and it is difficult work, to and needs careful men with strength and brains to execute the work. "You will probably have noticed that my wagons are continually busy," continued Mr. Ward, "and some people have supposed that that was our most important department, and although that was the foundation of the present business and is still growing, yet that and my storage are running hand in hand. I have kept my running stock, wagons, etc., up to as high a plane as it was practicable to do so, and as has been said of a well known make of automobiles, 'wherever you go you see them, and wherever you see them, they go'—and as a matter of fact, they are on --- WASHINGTON, D.

I have made a particular effort in one line of transfer work, and that is the moving of pianos, and it is difficult work, too, and needs careful men with strength and brains to execute the work. Getting the instruments from their respective stores is not so great a task, but the hard part comes in placing the piano where the customer wants it. It may be on the first floor in an accessible place, yet it is just as likely to be on the second floor, through the bathroom window, or on the third floor in the billiard parlor, when it takes a great deal of ingenuity to figure how, when, etc., and to place it in the proper place, with no scratches, and with as little delay as possible. Many times I have to take off my coat and do a few stunts with one end myself. And the lessons I WASHINGTON INGTON, D. C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1 VIEW OF WAGON SHEDS learned in the bad days come in mighty handy now. A fellow can't maintain his dignity or look like a boss with an upright piano on his back, going up a stairway one foot narrower than his burden, and yet sometimes it is a pure delight to be still able to pull off a few stunts with a half a ton of mahogany. "I have taken trips over the country to see what other men in like lines were doing, and to see how they did it, and a fact that causes me to feel pretty good is that in the cities of the size of Columbus, and larger, that very few moving concerns handle the business of more than one or two piano dealers, while here in Columbus I have the business of seven of the best dealers and further. I have had the work for years, indicating to some extent the desire we have to spare and do good, honest I think we have their hearty endorsement. My prices, I suppose, have something to do with my large piano moving business, for I make a price that is sufficient to make all necessary profit and yet not high enough to be a burden on the customer. I believe that my rates are reasonable and this is proved by the fact that I do work for the same people time and time again, or whenever they need our services." Although a young man, being less than 30 years of age, Mr. Ward has experience that might go well with a man twice his age, and his natural ability for the work and in handling his force of men has placed his company in its present position of prosperity. About two years ago the business was enlarged and incorporated. Mr. Ward holds the offices of president, treasurer and general manager, and as indicated, controls the stock. To look back over the years it does not seem possible that in so short a time this business could possibly have reached the proportion it has now. The writer remembers Earl Ward sitting beside his father on one of the then two or three wagons constituting the business of his father on the East Broad street stand, and then to see him now in his finely appointed offices at 171 South Champion, with stenographer, bookkeeper, etc. With three or four large structures to the credit of his company, and with personal realty of no mean dimensions, with a growing business and a score of workmen, it means simply and purely that strict application to the matter in hand and doing that work better than someone else and at a moderate price, has had its reward and that Mr. Ward is now reaping the benefits of his strenuous, hard working apprentice days.

Mrs. Hannah Sievers made a gift of $5,000 for the purchase of a pipe organ for the Home Moravian Church, at Winston Salem, North Carolina. A piece of dental work, 3000 years old, was exhibited at the International Dental Congress which opened in Berlin August 23. The object was a jaw taken from an Etruscan tomb, and was a calf's tooth held in place by gold fillings. It is said the workmanship was excellent and seemingly as fresh as though done yesterday. Naval experts are awaiting with impatience the completion of the fourteen inch gun, now under construction by the Midvale Steel Works. It is said it will hurl 1,600 pounds. The gun will be shipped to the Washington Navy Yard about the middle of September. Ground has been broken for a Catholic school for Negroes in Jackson, Mississippi. The structure is being erected under the auspices of a Catholic society located in New York City, and is to cost $15,000. Bronze statues of George Washington and Robert E.

Thomas, of Chicago University, and a Southern gentleman by birth, in a lecture at the Kent Theatre, on Race Prejudice, saida "Race prejudice will grow less as race relationship becomes closer, and as we travel more. Already the whites and Japs intermarry. There is no reason why intermarriage of the races should not continue along these and other lines." There were about 1,500 present. We would like to have heard them express their sentiments. Before making your fall clothing, consult the McCall's Magazine, The Queen of Fashion, which is now out for September.

The Forty-third annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held at Salt Lake City. About 6,000 marched in the parade. There are 225,157 members of the Army. The latest business organization among the Negroes of Mississippi is "The Manufacturing, Commodity, and Supply Company," which has a capital of $250,000. Dr. E. P. Brown is the President and chief promoter. Booker T. Washington, in his address before the Business League, urged the League to take up celebrating their fifthth anniversary of freedom. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church adjourned last Monday after a successful session. The reports showed that $183,432 had been appropriated during the year. The next session will be held at Evansville, Indiana. Compulsory education was defeated in Georgia, due to a speech made by a member of the Legislature, in which he stated that such a law would mean the increased usefulness of the Negro in the states, and the law would affect Negro children as well as white, and the results would be more beneficial to the Negro population and more to the detriment of the whites.

The auditor makes no special recommendations, but incidentally hints at the saving that his office has made for the Government, concerning the work of recovering transportation overcharges, adds to the work of the office, but believes the saving justifies the additional labor.

Washington and the National Negro Business League — Marks High-Water Mark in His-of Social Life of the Falls City Metropolis Louisville, Ky., August 23.—Five hundred men and women, typifying the beauty, culture, manhood and substance of the race, sat down to an elaborate banquet last Friday evening at spacious Liederkranz Hall, 6th and Walnut streets, given by the local Business League in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the visiting delegates to the National Negro Business League. It was, by far, the most notable function of its kind ever given by the colored people in the City of Louisville, and marked the high-water mark in their social life Liederkranz Hall is specially adapted to large affairs, and the beauty and taste displayed in the decorations, the smooth dancing floor and the elegant setting of the banquet room all attracted widespread attention and evoked many sincere compliments. This was the first time the hall has been opened to our race for an occasion of this kind, and the liberality of the managers in thus extending $a_{i}$ welcome to the stranger within the Falls City's gates we warmly commend. The grand march was led by Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Professor and Mrs. W. H. Steward and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, and the scene presented as the elegantly gowned and flower graced ladies and gallant gentlemen repaired to the banquet room, was one like unto a leaf taken from the "Arabian Nights." It was a picture of dazzling splendor and evidenced the remarkable progress of the Negro in the artistic, the ethical and idealistic world. The toast master was Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, the capable and entregive chairman of the committee that made the banquet such a monumental success. His introductions were models of tasteful rhetoric, quiet wit and polished humor, acquitting himself throughout with a distinction that amply vindicated the wisdom of those who selected him for this responsible task. The speakers and the sentiments to which they responded were as follows: Mr. F. D. Patterson, of Ohio, "The Spirit of the Negro Business Man;" Rev. Robert E. Jones, of Louisiana, Editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, "Optimism in the Race Situation;" Mrs. Edwina Kennedy Thomas, of Louisville, Kentucky, "The Negro Business Woman;" Mr. J. E. Bush, of Arkansas, "Our Ladies;" Mr. Emmett J. Scott, of Tueskegee, Alabama, "The Press;" Miss Irene L. Moorman, of Brooklyn, New York, "The Woman in the Financial World;" Mr. Jesse Binga, of Chicago, "The Negro Banker;" Rev. E. P. Jones, of Mississippi, "The Sunny Side of Lodge Life;" Mrs. J. C. Napier, "The Home Life;" Our Women." The closing toast was delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose subject was "Louisville." President Washington praised the city from every viewpoint, lauding its public spirited citizens, its fine schools, churches and prosperous business enterprises, and noted with no small degree of interest that probably 90 per cent of every visiting man, woman and child he had met here had either been born in Kentucky, had secured a life partner in the "Blue Grass State," or was in some vital relation identified with the people of Kentucky. Kentuckians, he said, stand together no matter where they may later on make their homes, and hold family reunions whenever the opportunity presents itself. It was to this fact that Dr. Washington attributed the wonderful success of the Louisville meeting of the League, why it had outshone all other cities in attendance, depth of Continued to page 4.

The cockade originated simply in the knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth century round hat were "cocked" or drawn up to the brim in fine weather, and thus originated the three-cornered hat, as well as the cocked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage, as the ignorant assert. The same strings survive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain; in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Spanish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants. It naturally became the custom for military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served, and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black, the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shiramulr, citing Woodward's heraldry, we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgotten, the knot, in the form of a rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did the buttons on the backs of our coats, which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.—"Justice of the Peace." DAME FORTUNE WAS SULLEN. Man Had Grateful Remembrance of Service, but Was Unable to Repay It. "When I was a farmer in Illinois," says a representative in congress, "there came to me one day an interesting looking individual, whose face, though he was a stranger in those parts, seemed oddly familiar to me. "The man had stopped to water his horse. As he waited, he said: 'About ten years ago a poor boy came this way and you took him in.' "I gazed at the speaker, puzzled. "Your kindness to that poor boy was most exceptional,' continued the stranger. 'You fed him, encouraged him, gave him clothes and two dollars and sent him on his way feeling pretty fine. He observed at the time he would never forget your generosity. Do you remember?' "Not precisely,' I replied, but I had a vague remembrance of the occurrence. Ped. Ped. Ped.

"He said," went on the stranger, "that if he prospered, he would see that you would never have occasion to regret your kindness to a struggling boy." "Well, well!" I exclaimed, as the full remembrance of the incident came to me in a flash. "It's like a story, isn't it? You of course, were that boy? "Yes," sald the stranger, 'and as long as I am here, I might as well tell you that I am still poor."—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Sargasso Sea In the middle of the North Atlantic there is an area of comparatively still water almost equal to continental Europe in extent and more or less covered with floating seaweed. It was known as the Mar de Sargaco to Columbus and the early navigators and is the Sargasso sea of modern geographers. The floating seaweed was formerly supposed to have grown near the Bahama and Florida shores, and to have drifted to its present position. It is now, however, known to grow and propagate itself where it is found. In it are found globular masses of weed containing fish eggs and known as fish nests. Recent investigations show that the floating weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen breeding place of species of flying fish.—Field. He Would Resign. The story is told of an English army examiner who once had before him a stupid candidate. The candidate being apparently unable to answer the simplest questions, the examiner finally grew most impatient, and in a burst of sarcasm demanded: "Let it be supposed, sir, that you were a captain in command of infantry; that in your rear was an impassable abyss; that on both sides of you there rose perpendicular rocks of tremendous height; that in front of you lay the enemy outnumbering you ten to one. What, sir, in such an emergency would you do?" "Sir," responded the applicant for military distinction, "I should resign." Personality In Politics. In life, in literature, there is no magic charm like that of personality, but politicians are afraid of it in their business. Of this they sedulously cultivate the idea that it must be conducted by committees and parties, never by individualities. Everything is collective, nothing personal. Intrigue and subterranean management are the prime forces, and the old practitioners of the art are always aghast when some man of native vigor comes forward with open methods and direct appeals.

TSTIM TELLS HOW LeCKsNW FELT Ae ©. » ioe Doctor was Worried When His Face Began to Btifflen—Fought Disease St. Louls.—Dr, F. W. Grundmann of Washiagton avenue, who was pro- nounced out of danger from lock- jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, deseribed how he felt during his illness. “In diagnosing my own symptoms @ 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 permatorely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was ripped in my trousers, and a gash cut in the fiesh of my knoe, Into which earth from the street was ground. “Tt gave me no trouble, pained me very little and I gave it no fur ther thought.

At that meeting there were assembled men whose names stand for something in the communities in which they live. They were men who names spell success and Practicability. These men are not theorists. They are not chasing a phantom. They are more concerned about the future than the present. They, while deploring some existing conditions and restrictions, know full well that the future will bring no relief if the present is frittered away in theorizing and complaining. And this Colored Men's Business League is the result of the wise fore-thought, the indefatigable labors, and the intense practicability of that Negro, Dr. Booker T. Washington, who easily towers above all others, and yet towers modestly. While his limited opponents are giving advice, he is giving the substance. While they are marshaling a band of ill-trained iconoclasts, he is leading an army of builders. While they are exhorting, he is doing. When once success, with old man resolute in the saddle, swings into the three-quarter stretch, under spur and whip of energy and determination, there is no overtaking her. She comes down the home-stretch like a swift-moving engine, and dashes under the wire while Theory, Impracticability, Iconoclast and Jealousy, completely winded, are just rounding the half-stretch. There is something tangible about success, and something intangible about opposition to success. The Colored Men's Business League is a tangible success; its president is a tangible success. They are, like irregationists, going out and reclaiming the supposedly useless lands. The Colored Men's Business League is a reclamation, and its president is a reclaimer and conservator, behind whom lies an unbroken line of success. More power to the Colored Men's Business League. E. E. WARD'S SUCCESS The Bee will, from time to time, publish accounts of the rise of colored men in the business world, illustrating same with cuts showing some of the possessions of successful colored business men. This week, on another page, we carry an account of the success of Mr. E. E. Ward, of Columbus, Ohio, who owns and manages one of the largest and most successful transfer and storage.companies in the middle West. The articles recently appeared in the Ohio State Journal, one of the leading white daily newspapers at Columbus. Mr. Ward's success shows what a colored man can do, when possessed of energy, pluck and determination. Though till a young man, this side of thirty years, he has already built up a business that frequently requires a life- time to build up. With the success that has already attended his efforts continuing in the same proportion in the future, Mr. Ward will ultimately be a very rich man, and as it is his possessions and business now run up into the five figures. As yet, Mr. Ward has not entered the matrimonial field. Whether this failure is due to modesty or the constant work necessary to build up the great business at which he is at the head, the newspaper account fails to relate. Here in Washington this young man's course might be emulated with profit, and young colred men in all parts of the country might follow his example with profit to themselves, and with credit to the race. The colored man in business is rapidly coming to the fore, and out in the middle Western states, where they pay more attention to business than to the amenities of society, there is a gratifying development of colored business men who are building up great businesses, and also amassing a sung competence. The Bee's advice to the young colored men of Washington is the same as that given by the late Horace Greely, — "Go West, young man." WHITE MATRON The Bee has been informed that it is the purpose of the authorities of Howard University to appoint a white woman matron over Negro girls. It seems to The Bee that there are enough broken down white and so-called educated white teachers appointed at this Negro institution. The country is watching with interest, the attitude of the University toward Professor W. J. DeCater. The Bee is of the opinion that no white man should be placed over him, when it is clearly demonstrated that Professor DeCater is more than competent for the job and should be appointed head of the science department. The Bee understands that a white man has been given charge of the field on the hill to keep clear. Just where the Negro laborer comes in The Bee will ask Congress at its next session. Some one is endeavoring to place the Negro in the back ground, or make him subordinate to inferior white help in a Negro institution. Ought not Congress adjust the salaries of the teachers at this institution? If reports are true, there is something wrong at this institution. The Bee judges from the case, of Professor DeCater, that kisses go by favors; that the worthy teacher is not promoted from merit; that there is a scheme to place white teachers over the more competent teachers; that Professor Kelly Miller is only Dean of the College Department now; that a white man who was formerly a candidate for the deanship, exercises the functions that Professor Kelly Miller should exercise. The country will not tolerate a white matron over Negro girls, and neither will it tolerate apparent discriminations at Howard University. The Bee gives this warning to the Negro trustees, and advises them not to cater or curry favor with those in authority. The race demands a clean bill of lading for this Negro institution. The Bee will publish all of the facts in its possession if certain reforms are not carried out. GET TOGETHER Professor E. C. Williams, of Cleveland, the recently elected principal of the M Street High School, has arrived in the city, preparatory to assuming his new position. There is no questioning the fact that Mr. Williams has no easy task before him, to bring order out of chaos, and to make good as a principal. The Bee believes it to be the duty of every Negro in Washington, and especially every teacher, to lend him encouragement, and to assist him to make good. Not for himself, but for the success of the schools, and the success of the pupils. He was elected principal not of his seeking, but without his seeking, and we owe it to him to give him a generous opportunity to make good, and then should he fail it will be ample time to criticize, but not before. By education and purity of morals he is equipped for the position. It only remains to be seen whether or not he possesses the executive ability, and the stamnia to shun the factions that have demoralized conditions at that school. It is the duty of all to lend Mr. Williams a helping hand. He is a man whose moral life is above reproach. The fact that he has been, for years, on the faculty of Adelbert College, one of the most prominent of the many white colleges in Ohio, is proof of his educational abilities. It is now about time to let the dead past bury its dead; time to forget old scores, time for foes and friends to bury their personal differences and unite to work in perfect harmony for the future good of the schools, and the race. Those who have a personal grievance should remember that the public has little patience and no time for a man with a personal grievance. Men and women of the high mental endowment possessed by the teachers of the Washington schools cannot afford to inject personalities into the schools. Everybody should get together. OUR GOVERNMENT There has been a great deal of criticism made against the present form of government. Whatever that criticism may be, it can be said without contradiction, that the Commissioners of the District are all honest men and handle the people's money with care. There never has been; since the establishment of the present form of government, two men more interested in the welfare of the people, than Commissioners West and Macfarland. It believed by everybody that they honestly protect the interests of the people. Our Chief of Police, with the many set backs and knocks against his department, by dishonest members of the force, does all in his power to have a model force. He adheres to strict discipline. No member of the force escapes our Chief of Police if he is guilty. We have a government of which we should feel proud.. RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Mr. Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Mississippi, presented the following resolution to the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League and it was approved by them: Resolved: That we are glad to note the appearance of the Negro Business League Herald, published in Washington by the Negro Business League Herald Company, and that by a word of endorsement it is our feeling that every publication of this kind devoted strictly to business enterprises is of the greatest value to our race and ought to be sustained. The Bee endorses the Negro Business League Herald, and hopes that it will be a factor in the business world. Mr. Pittman its Editor, deserves credit. It makes a fine appearance. THE KIND OF WOMEN If Howard University would select such a woman as Mrs. B.K. Bruce, or Mrs. Ella V. C. Williams, there would be no need of a watchman, or lock and keys on the doors of the female students. Aside from such women, there should be a first class musical department connected with the institution. This department is greatly in need of a first class female instructor. There are dozens of female music teachers in this city, not music graduates who are able to teach any of the teachers of music connected with Howard University. The most important factor that is needed at Howard University, is a strong-minded and refined woman to supervise the females. The two named in the above article will fill the bill. No white woman is wanted. OUR GIRLS The Bee doesn't know how other people are impressed concerning our girls who graduate from the public schools. So far as The Bee is concerned, the situation is sad. All cannot be teachers. What then, is to become of our girls? Many of those who are trained for business are incompetent when they enter your office. Much of the training in our schools is superficial. WILL WIN The concensus of opinion is that Judge I. G. Kimball, of the police court, will be reappointed by President Taft. Judge Kimball is losing no sleep, and his friends are equally as active in seeing that President Taft knows all about the good workof Judge Kimball since he has been judge. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS Galbraith Church, 6th street, between L and M streets, northwest, is not only one of the most prominent Zion Churches, but one of the most prominent Negro churches of the Nation's Capital. Every department of the church is thoroughly organized and the members are manifesting greater interest in the affairs of the church, now than ever before during the eight years of service of the present pastor, Dr. S. L. Corrothers. The members have all been requested to pay ten dollars and the books will be open for contributions this coming Sabbath. Monday, September 6—Labor Day will be celebrated by the pastor and members. A dinner will be served from 4 p. m., to 10 p. m., by the men of the church. A musical and literary entertainment will be given in the evening, at which time some of the best talent in the city will appear. At 8 p. m., the pastor, Dr. S. L. Corrothers will preach and the classes will make their reports. Business League Continued from the first page. enthusiasm and liberality of entertainment, Kentucky, he concluded, would ever hold a warm place in his memory, in which sentiment he was heartily joined by the nation-wide company at the long and handsomely appointed tables. The dinner concluded and the speech making over, the party returned to the ball room, where until three o'clock the light fantastic was gaily tripped to the strains of an obliging orchestra, playing the lastest and most popular music. The menu, prepared by Klein, Louisville's finest caterer, was as follows: MENU Pickles Olives Spring Chicken on Toast New Corn Julienne Potatoes Steamed Rice (a la Charleston) Peas in Cases (a la Washington) Macaroni Royal Roll Kentucky Sandwich Stuffed Tomatoes, Mayonnaise Cheese Sticks Bisque Glqcc, Initial _Assorted Cakes The Committee on Banquet, who labored with such united effort with Chairman J. A. C. Lattimore, was made up of Messrs. Rochelle Smith, James Tate, Charles Robinson and Dr. H. B. Beck. Cooperating with them most loyally and constantly were the officers of the local Negro Business League, headed by Mr. David L. Knight, President, and Mr. J. F. Gray, Secretary. DOUGLASS P. SYPHAX One of the most enterprising men in this city is Mr. Douglass P. Syphax, of 503 D street, northwest, who has been in the real estate and general law business for a number of years. Mr. Syphax has a very interesting family, his boys especially take after their father in enterprise and Aside from Mr. Syphax's knowledge of real estate he has a good knowledge of commercial law. He is good in the preparation of legal documents, as well as an adept in all around business. He is a native Washingtonian, having come from one of our leading families in the city. Mr. Syphax has many fine qualities, and may be found at all times true to his friends. Another good quality in the young man is that he is liberal to the poor. With his perseverance he will soon make his mark in the commercial world. Mrs. Syphax, his wife, is, a very interesting talker, and a woman of positive character. GOOD WORK BY A WORTHY WOMAN For some eight years, a very quiet and yet distinctive and forceful work in the educational field has been developing in the St. Francis de Sales Institute for Colored Girls, Rock Castle, Virginia. This school was erected in 1899 by Mother Katharine Drexel, and placed under the supervision of her own Sisterhood, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. No effort was spared to make building and equipment as nearly perfect as possible, and the writer, who has visited many of the colored and white educational institutions of the Southland, can state without hesitation or flattery that he found it equalled by very few and surpassed by none. Traveling on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, west from Richmond, following the graceful curves and windings of the historic James for forty miles, one sees on an eminence, about a quarter of a mile south of the river, a large brick building with granite trimmings, the modified type of Elizabethan architecture. The main building looks down upon the James, while the two annex wings face Deep Creek on one side and Lick Creek on the other. The situation is ideal for earnest study. Beautiful nature is pre-eminent, while distractions and noises of a busy city are remote. It may be of interest to know that the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament under whose direction the school is maintained, were instituted some twenty years ago, for the education and advancement of the colored and Indian races. These earnest, self-sacrificing women make a specialty of their work and are always seeking to have the best and to give the best to the two races to whom they exclusively devote themselves. The Sisters believe that faith in God, and a reverence and love for His teaching should form the basic element of all training; that religion and science should go hand in hand; that one should always uphold and strengthen the other. While St. Francis de Sales is conducted by a sisterhood of the Catholic Church, a cordial welcome is extended to all colored people, regardless of creed, to send their daughters to enjoy the privileges held out by this Institute, and no attempt is made to force the faith upon, nor interfere with the religious convictions of the students. It is the aim of the sisters to educate their pupils physically, mentally, and morally; to form them into truly noble, whole-souled women, and thus make of each individual a potent factor in the bettering of the whole race. A golden era of opportunity is dawning for the colored people of the South, in this elect school, which offers unrivalled facilities which the better class will not be slow to recognize and appreciate, in their endeavor to procure the highest advantages of culture and education for their daughters. The purpose of the school is found in its broad, well-rounded curriculum. It has been shown that a large amount of manual work may be carried on without in the least jeopardizing the results in the fundamental and academic branches. The school is unique in this, that there is no primary department. Pupils must come prepared to enter the sixth grade; that is, must have successfully passed fifth grade examinations. There are two courses in the Literary Department—an intermediate course and an academic course. Each course covers a period of four years. The intermediate completes the full grammar course and gives to the pupils a thorough education in all the essential branches of everyday life. For pupils who wish to fit themselves as teachers, or take up more advanced literary studies the academ- prising a fine course in English Literature, the sciences, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, Higher Mathematics, Latin, Elements of Pedagogy and Psychology. A thorough course is given in Domestic Art, beginning with a preparatory class in dressmaking, finishing same by cutting, drafting, according to a standard chart, designing and modeling costumes. In order to acquire a certificate in either intermediate or academic departments, it is essential that the students take this one year's cuorse in Domestic Art, as the school feels a woman's education is not complete without this necessary and most desirable accomplishment. Lessons in fine needlework, lacemaking, draw work and art embroidery form one of the most attractive features of the school. The gold medal for the best display of needlework was awarded the school by the Jamestown Exposition. Lessons in fine art and needlework are elective. Domestic Science is another special feature, and includes a graded course in general cooking, followed by a course in Invalid Cookery and a Waitress Course. A course of lectures and demonstrations in Oome Nursing is also given with the Domestic Science course. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is given considerable attention... A visit to Rock Castle would be worth while, if any of our readers are in the neighborhood of Richmond. Visitors to the school are usually charmed by the kindness and courtesy of the Sisters, and the beauty of the building and its environments. The chapel, with its beautiful altars of Sienna marble trimmed with Mexican onyx, its fine statues and, most of all, the holy calm and peace which pervades it bringing a sense of quiet, help and strength from an Unseen Power, proves irresistably attractive to all. The class rooms, music rooms, library, cook school, dress making department, dormitories, and infirmaries, have their own distinctive features of interest, while the dining room and kitchen are a chief source of interest at given times each day. Notwithstanding the unrivalled facilities which St. Francis de Sales -ns ns ns ns ns pur snonqure m ssnjo dents, its charges are merely nominal—being five dollars monthly for board and ten or fifteen yearly for incidental expenses—tuition in all departments being furnished gratis. In the absence of a personal visit, we would recommend our readers applying to St. Francis de Sales' Institute, Rock Castle, Virginia, for this year's prospectus, which is admirably gotten up, and in which more ample and detailed information will be found.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.. One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923 and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington. Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact— THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best A.

Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock, consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.01 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for.

Sidney Pittman, President BRUTES HER PUPILS Girl on a New Jersey Farm Who Trains Dull Animals. Winona.von Ohl Has Done Wonders with Domestic Horned Cattle Usually Considered Stupid—Conquers a Vicious Young Bull. New York. On a small farm about two miles from Plainfield, N. J., lives a young woman who is among the most remarkable educators in America. She teaches animals, preferably dull ones supposed to have little brain development. She is not a professional trainer. She simply does it for her own amusement. She has accomplished some things—especially with horned domestic cattle, which are considered the most stupid of all domestic animals—that have been thought impossible hitherto even by professionals. Her name is Winona von Ohl. She was born and brought up on a great cattle ranch in New Mexico. She and her mother moved to Plainfield two or three years ago. It was not long before the news began to get about of the odd things this girl had taught her pets to do. An ever-increasing number of visitors has been the result. Now there is hardly a day but automobile parties run out to the farm from the various towns for ten or twenty miles around to see if it is true that Miss von Ohl's horse can hold a whip in his teeth and crack it, or that a bull will stand on its hind legs and waltz, or that her calf will indulge in all sorts of monkeyshines. Cheerfully and obligingly she puts her pets through their paces. The mild-eyed but mischievous-looking littel calf is brought out, and is made to do all the tricks that a highly trained clown dog could. An educated Struggling for the Whip. raccoon vaults on the calf's back and gallops about with all the eclat of a bareback rider in a circus. A once vicious bull does equine high school tricks, and so on. The calf and the bull are the star performers. No one ever has been able to teach such animals to do "stunts" before. It has been a tradition among trainers that it is impossible to educate domestic horned cattle to do tricks. Miss von Ohl decided to experiment with the toughest subject she could find. She let it be known that she wanted to buy the most dangerous and vicious two or three-year-old bull that was obtainable for miles about Plainfield. Much to her joy she heard of one whose owner was going to kill him because of his superlatively ugly temper. He was between two and three years old, and had gored three men. It was the same with this vicious animal that it had been with the horses she had tamed on the range years before. Surilily and unwillingly at first he yielded to the dominance that he could not understand. Miss von Ohl got him this spring. To-day, with her, he is as gentle and as clever at doing quickly and intelligently the unusual things he has been taught as is a docile and well-trained horse. He poses on barrels and pedestals, lies down and rolls over at the word of command, waltzes, and so on. Even yet, though, his evil nature will flare up for an instant, but it needs only a word from his trainer to make him obedient again. One of this bull's most remarkable tricks, considering his vicious record of three men gored and tossed with his sharp horns, is when he rolls his trainer over and over on the ground. Miss von Ohl lies on the grass, pretending to be asleep. The bull approaches and literally roots and noses her across the turf seeming to derive great enjoyment from rolling her over and over and finally seeing her awake. His horns are only four or five inches long but are sharp as noodles. With an animal of this description, the experts say, this particular trick is a shade more dangerous than any that is attempted in the lion's or tigers' cages by the exhibitors of those great cat animals. Another thing this bull does is to pick up his teacher and carry her. He grabs her clothing with his strong teeth and marches along with her for a dozen yards and then carefully lets her down to the ground. Miss von Ohl's first notable achievement in training stupid animals was some years ago, when she taught a herd of 20 mules to do some remarkable tricks. Horses have been trained to do all sorts of things from time immemorial, but mules are credited with having small brains and of invariably misapplying what little intelligence they possess. It was while she was living on the ranch that she taught the mules. Miss von Ohl is still in her twenties. She is handsome in a strong, fearless way. 2 GREAT OFFERs This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W.

For in Duxbury the doughty commander of the military forces of Plymouth colony made his home and there, it is alleged, is his grave. The glory, of the town to-day is the Standish monument, some time to be Y completed and dedicated to the memory of the man whose goodly deeds it so grandly commemorates. Duxbury, or "Duxborrow," as Capt. Myles himself was wont to refer to the place, dedicated the monument on July 31. It was a happy day in Duxbury. Distinguished orators declaimed the virtues of the country's first "great white chief" in the Unitarian church building, a banquet was served to hungry celebrators at the town hall, and, of course, Captain's Hill, with its imposing granite shaft, surmounted by Kelly's statue of Standish, was the mecca for all attendants. Down under the brow of Captain's Hill and on the premises of Lawyer Horace G. Allen of Boston stands the ever memorable and much-bepictured Alexander Standish house, one of the most ancient dwellings of all New England. Another and a most important member of this Standish trio of Duxbury shrines, is what is supposed to be the site of the old hero's grave, in the town's oldest cemetery, near "Morton's hole," which was located between the two localities that are now known as Bayleys and Halls corners. John Alden, his wife Priscilla and all the old settlers of the town lie buried in the old cemetery between Halls and Bayleys corners.

Bates, formerly of California, now a resident of Massachusetts. Mr. Bates owns a small farm in the town of Pembroke, which he cultivates every summer and where his family at present reside. Miss Mildred evinced a strong inclination to assist in the planting of the garden. When the time arrived for the dropping of the seed and to humor her childish whim her grandmother, who, by the way, is a practical farmer, set apart a small strip of the garden after the plowing and harrowing had been done, for the child's special benefit. She was furnished with a small hoe, rake and spade, garden trowel and a variety of seed, supplemented each day with a lesson in practical gardening, all to good advantage, for the 14 feet square of ground she has had absolute control of and which she insisted she should be entirely alone in the cultivation of has yielded most abundantly. Peas were ready for the table on June 20. The potatoes, corn and beans; planted with her own hands, show remarkable development—enough to make the larger garden look a poor second in the race. Where there is some smoke, there's bound to be a fire sale.
