JOHN W. LEWIS DIRECTOR SED W. COHNSON DIRECTOR NATURAL H. LAMBERT & MICHAEL H. HARRIS WILBOLL DIRECTOR 1 PRAISES PRESIDENT TAFT Speaker Says He Will Secure Negroes Their Full Rights Durham, N. C., Sept. 1.—Dr. William Alexander, of Baltimore, Corresponding Secretary of the Lott-Curry Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, in the national meeting here today, declared that "President Taft is a wise, just, magnanimous man, whose policies will secure for the colored people their full rights as defined in the Federal Constitution. "We have more cause for hope of full enjoyment of our civil rigrhs than we have at any time in our history as a free people. The sentiment in all of the States is growing in favor of arming our youth educationally for life's service, and the church must encourage the members along this line, and those engaged in legitimate business. "We do not contend for all the rights guaranteed to American citizens, and have no desire to lead in State affairs, but we do desire, to be secure in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, to be given the opportunity to till the soil and serve in the avenues of industry." The convention will be in session all the week. MISSIONS FOR NEGROES Dr. Jordan Asks Money to Teach Africans. In an address recently delivered before the Mount Bethel Association, at the Second Baptist Church, Third street, northwest, near H street, Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, Kentucky, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, Negro, spoke at some length on evangelization in Africa. Rev. Dr. Jordan stated that there were millions of his race in Africa who knew nothing of Christianity, and that he felt it to be the duty of the organization to do all in its power to spread the influence of Christ in the Dark Continent. He stated that last year the Mount Bethel Baptist Association raised nearly $21,000 for work in South and Central America, and he hoped this year they would be able to raise $25,000, which would also include aid in Africa. At the conclusion of his address there was a spirited election, in which there were two candidates in the field for each office. Emmett Preston, of this city, was elected President to succeed R. A. Grantlin, who died August 3. The remaining officers are: Mrs. Lulu Scott, Baltimore, First Vice President; C. H. Williams, Washington, Second Vice President; R. B. Page, Oak Grove, Virginia, Third Vice President; Miss M. E. Wilson, Tenallytown, District of Columbia, Secretary; Miss M. E. Hayes, Rock Creek, District of Columbia, Corresponding Secretary; Miss Florence Gordon, Washington, Statistical Secretary; Miss J. E. Harris, Washington, Treasurer; Rev. W. H. Johnson, Alexandria, Chairman of Virginia division; Mrs. Grave A. Mason, Baltimore, Chairman of Maryland division, and E. R. Coleman, chairman of Washington division. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS ASSOCIATION MEETS At a recent meeting of the Fairmount Heights Association, held in the public hall, it was voted to join hands with the other eastern organizations in petitioning Congress to reclaim the flats along the eastern branch. The question was brought up by Charles E. Payne, the Secretary. A committee composed of Dr. W. W. Jones, John F. Collins and Frank Coleman was appointed to consult with the Chesapeake Beach Railway Company about the crossing at 58th street. H. W. Pierson, T. M. Redmond, Rev. Strouters, B. Evans, and W. H. Marshall were enrolled as members of the association. NEW BANDMASTER Professor Wade H. Hammond, for the past two years bandmaster at the Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, has been appointed regimental bandmaster of the Ninth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Russell, Wyoming. Mr. Hammond is an accomplished musician, and drilled the splendid band of this institution which has made such a record throughout the West. Is is reported that Register Vernon, though regretting to lose the services of such an accomplished teacher of music at his school, was glad to interest himself in the case of Mr. Hammond. O, I left a house of joy With all things full and plenty. Now I am a wandering boy From home without a penny. Mother weeps for me tonight And Papa cannot sleep, Sister's heart is not so light Little brother in the cradle weeps I never shall forget the day When out in the world I roamed, Everything seemed pleasant and gay, 'Till adversity crossed my road. Jack Frost began to bite my nose, A snow hat covered my head, My body became bare of clothes And I am almost dead. Here I will no longer stay, If the Lord will help, I'll go Advice I give to all young men; Obey and love your home, Cloud and storm do what you can And never be a drone. If you go on land or sea, Remember Father and Mother; And where it is your lot to be, Don't forget Sister and Brother. A COMMENDABLE ACT Mme. E. Azalia Hackley called at The Tribune office Wednesday and announced that she had completed the payment of the Clarence C. White Foreign Scholarship and intended to start another one in the near future. One of our young local artists has been selected as the next student, and as soon as a sufficient amount has been raised the student will be sent abroad.—The Philadelphia Tribune. President Taft, in sending his congratulations to Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the discoverer of the North Pole, said: "The pride of all Americans had been stirred by the news and report that the world baffling feat had been accomplished by an American citizen." The True Reformers celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary on Labor Day, in this city. The forty-fifth annual report of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company for the year ended June 30, 1909, shows a balance of $12,881,831.78, as the clear profit for the year, as against $11,547,529.67 for the year ended June 30, 1908. Pennsylvania's wheat crop this year exceeds 25,000,000 bushels. This is more than the wheat yield of Oklahoma, and is only three million bushels less than that of Missouri, although those states talk much of their wheat production. The old Anacostia Bridge, which was built thirty-three years ago, will soon disappear. In 1876, when this bridge was finished, it was regarded as one of the most important iron structures of its kind. It cost $110,000. In order to encourage the reporting of births in Portsmouth, Virginia, Mayor Reed Reed will present to each child born in the city a medal bearing on one side the name of the child, date of birth, and name of parent; one the other side the seal of the city. The official statistics for the second quarter of 1909 show that 1,051 dogs, and 29,785 horses were slaughtered for food and eaten by the Germans. Fifty boys and girls listened to a lecture on Good Citizenship by Judge DeLacy, the Juvenile Court, Labor Day. The Judge in a simple, plain way explained to the children that "Labor had been so dignified in the past score of years that our government has set aside one day each year, 'Labor Day,' in its honor." Mr. Hickey also made a brief address. Each child came out with a smiling face. and much encouraged after listening to such a lecture. Who could ever fill the place of this honorable judge? The flag which Commander Peary planned at the North Pole, was one presented to him by the Daughters of American Revolution, July 6, 1908. It is an American flag of silk, with a white border, which is an emblem of peace and liberty. Hobson City, the only Negro city in Alabama, under the control of Negroes, was officially killed when Governor B. B. Conner signed a bill cancelling its charter. The Negroes were progressing too fast. What else will the white man have to answer for? Among the principal addresses delivered before the eleventh annual convention of the National Medical Association were those of Dr. Thirkield, of Howard University, Dr. Merrill, of Fiske University, Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, Dr. Thomas Patrick, Dr. John Hall and others. The School Teacher, a new monthly magazine, devoted to the interests of the public schools of this city, is to be issued soon. Professor Garnet C. Wilkinson, is the editor and F. S. Cardoza the business manager. Miss Arsine Elizabeth Jones, of New Haven, Connecticut, has been appointed as a clerk at Freedmen's Hospital, as the result of a civil service examination. Miss Jones is the daughter of Honorable Oscar J. Jones, a well known political leader in New Haven. A big express wagon loaded with nine black barrels and one huge box containing trophies of the Roosevelt hunting expedition in the jungles of Africa, has arrived at the Smithsonian Institute. The National Medical Association, which has just adjourned in Boston, will meet in this city next year. Professor Walter Solomon Buchanan, President of the A. and M. College, and Miss Ida Christine Council were married August 24. It was quite a quiet, yet swell affair. The National Baptist Convention will meet in Columbus, Ohio. 10,000 Baptists are expected to attend this convention. It is said Dr. Booker T. Washington will deliver an address there. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, North Carolina, is doing a great work and should be encouraged. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs should also be commended. The New National Training School opens October 4. The outlook is bright for a successful year. The largest publishing house in the South is the National Negro Baptist Publishing Board, at Nashville, Tennessee. They employ 200 clerks and stenographers, besides a large force of printers and engravers. They are now manufacturing Negro doll babies. Don't forget social items will be put in free of cost. If you want good results advertise in The Bee. The latest business fad in this city is the five cent theatre owned and run by Negroes. Now for some other enterprise. Washington Negrots are coming. Women no longer want to hear just pretty speeches. They want to listen to men who have something worth while to say. What would you think of a woman who addressed a club meeting of men by telling them how charming, how well gowned, how pretty, they were? Well, it is just as absurd for a man to think women care for that kind of talk. Average gatherings of women today are just as anxious to listen to addresses of common sense, of practical reasoning, as are gatherings of men, and nothing is more tiresome than the average man speaker who in the presence of women patronizes them by his remarks, indulges in silly compliments, and makes the conventional observations in regard to the "fair and weaker sex." If men would stop to think that a woman's mind naturally works more quickly than a man's, that she resents being treated like a child and young girl, instead of a grownup person with a capacity for mature thought, they would stop putting so much twaddle and so many useless compliments into speeches in the presence of women. Just because a woman does belong to the so-called fair sex, because she has that most desirable element of vanity, which causes her to wear becoming gowns, stylish hats and comely shoes, it does not follow that she is not just as keen in her mental standing as she is in appreciation of approval. The old order of things has been changed. New conditions have developed. The woman of the present wants to be up to date, and she does not care to waste her time listening to a speaker who talks as if she had not a mind of her own and had not progressed as the world has progressed. The position of woman all over the world today is so very different from what it was twenty-five or thirty years ago, that her newer influence calls for newer treatment by those who would address her on public DON'T Don't question a lady where she gets her clothes, even if she is doing no work. She may have a wealthy or well to do father. Don't tell people your are earning a fortune when you know that you are starving to death. Don't insult a lady should she chance to give you a pleasant smile. Don't lie in bed late when you know it is necessary to get up early. It is an aphorism too true: don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Send for The Bee if you want a five paper. IT HAS BEEN SO FOREVER. (So CWar's zu allen Tagen.) J.

Pathos In Last Address of Fallen Emperor to the Troops Still Loyal to Him. It was at Fontainebleau that Napoleon received the pope in 1804. It was at Fontainebleau that he imprisoned the pope—the apartment which served as his prison is still shown—in 1812 and 1813. Finally, for Nemesis would have it so, it was at Fontainebleau that Napoleon signed his abdication and sald forewell to his army in 1814, coming down the horseshoe staircase at the head of the Cour du Cheval Blanc, and placing himself at the head of the guard, as if for review: "For 20 years," he said, "I have been well content with you, and you have always been with me on the path of glory. With your help and that of all the brave men who are still loyal, I could have carried on the war for three years longer; but France would have suffered, and I did not wish that to happen. "I might have died—that would have been easy; but I would not. I prefer to follow the path of honor, and to write the history of our exploits. "I cannot embrace you all, but I will embrace your general. Come, Gen. Petit. Bring me the eagle! Dear eagle. May these kisses find their echo in every brave man's heart!" That, surely, is the most pathetic, as it is also the most dramatic, scene in the whole history of Fontainebleau. STRANGE ACTION OF MEMORY. Scenes of Other Days, Thought Forgotten, Are Suddenly Flashed Into the Mind. Often suggestions out of all keeping with the surroundings come, and it may be asked. "What made you think of that?" Frequently we are positive that no conscious train of thought has brought up the idea. These memories, out of all rhyme and reason with our atmosphere and conscious occupation, pop into the mind and surprise us with their incongruity. Are these spontaneously originated as they seem to be, or have we merely forgotten the connecting train of ideas, as is often contended? The author but recently, while looking at some dill pickles, had flash upon his mind the image of a Southern California beach and an incident associated with the scene. The memory came so suddeuly and the connecting link was sought for so immediately that a dropping out of a segment of consciousness is altogether improbable, yet he felt that there was a connection somewhere, if it could but be found. And it was mp poco meno mossa.

Where the brine on the pickles had dried, there were left fine, white salt crystals just as he had seen on kelp and sea mosses that he had gathered on that beach. The memory in the stream of consciousness was spontaneous, and yet we see how it may come under our law, at least in its physiological version. — From the Mental Man. Her Choice. They were sisters-in-law and reasonably well disposed toward each other. One was the mother of George, aged six months, and the other the mother of Marian, aged six months and four days. It was impossible that a slight parental rivalry should be altogether concealed. "Marian does not seem to grow very fast," said the mother of George, with a suggestion of commiseration in her tones. "George is much taller—" (height being measured in inches). "Perhaps he is," replied the mother of Marian, coldly, "but Marian weighs more." "Oh, well," responded the sister-in-law, with a smile of high-bred superiority, "of course I should not wish George to be gross." Drawings and Paintings. The first sketch from nature which a great artist makes nearly always has a freshness which he only labors away in the picture he bases on it; and the rough pencil or charcoal lines of the former frequently reveal more of his feeling toward his subject than all his anxious manipulations of the brush. That is why it is so exceedingly worth while to collect and catalogue every scrap of drawing that once littered a great painter's studio. His drawings give you his intentions, his paintings do not always give you their fulfillment. It is true that a drawing is incomplete, but therein lies its charm. Possessing a drawing you possess a hope, and hope is better for mertals.—T. P.'s Weekly. About Corn. "I can't understand about the corn in this country, you know," said the Englishman. "It is the best vegetable you have here, you see what I mean? And you never serve it fresh. It is always canned, you understand, always canned. "Now, why in the name of common sense do you take the fine, fresh article, you know, can it, and offer it to people to eat, when they might better eat it in its pristine condition? You see what I mean? Eh? But no, all the year round, they serve you canned corn, canned corn. Can they can it cheaper than they can cook it fresh? Is that it? Eh?" --- making money fast.

New York.—In these days of unsettled political conditions among the European nations, all new inventions, which may be useful in war, are awaited with an eagerness only equaled by the undercurrent of distrust and suspicion that prevails everywhere. The latest invention makes it possible to take photographs in the air at heights varying from 150 to 400 yards. Military Europe is excited over the experiment in aerial photography that A French Army's Aerial Photographic Apparatus. the French minister of the marine, M. Alfred Picard, has been making off the coast of Morocco. Capt. Saconney has been working for months past to develop a machine that would produce a clear and detailed view of a country, its forts, encampments and general outlines. The results have gone beyond all expectations. A photograph of Casa Blanca has been taken by this wonderful camera at an altitude of 400 yards and three miles from shore. In structure this machine resembles an enormous box kite. To it is attached a cable by which the apparatus can be made to ascend or descend at the will of the operator. When the desired height is attained the aim can be accurately taken and the snap worked from below. The whole photographic outfit is so simple that it can be placed on the deck of a boat, and worked at sea with as satisfactory results as from the land. The importance of these pictorial documents in time of war is obvious. By the aid of these aerial photographs the enemy can fix with precision the exact disposition of the opposing forces, while their entrenchments and forts no longer will be a safeguard. - CHAINS TRAMPS TO TREES New Jersey Constable Devises "Lock-Up" That Is Terror to Weary Willies. Delanco, N. J.-The good housewives of this locality have risen up as one and called blessed George F. Hahner, constable, "Pooh Bah" and regulator of the morals of this model village. As a terror to evildoers and various stray persons afflicted with POLICE Hahner and "Lock-Up" Tree. wanderlust Hahner has achieved a reputation second to none. For years this Jersey hamlet was pestered to death with the most variegated assortment of tramps and amateur handout artists that ever worried women into losing their naturally angelic dispositions. The ples that motier made were no longer safe when set out on the back porch to cooloff. They disappeared like magic. Likewise, the yellow-legged spring chicens, saved for the preacher's special selection, were swept from the roos in evening hours. When the situaon got desperate the women of thelage called in a body one day on Hiner and demanded protection for the erstwhile happy homes. Haler's excuse has been that, lacking ja facilities, there was little use in plang the offenders in the tolls of theaw. So he had been content to chie them away with velled threats Then it was that he devised a "treeclock-up," whose efficacy has been demonstrated to such an extent that fan has come to this town and tramps at used to infest the place give it wilde berth. Hahneordered an extra supply of hairdcuffs and some of the tramps caught inls next raid were chained to trees lithe village street. The experiment has an astonishing success 6 BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND CARD READER TELLS ABOUT BUSINESS. 1228 25th St. N.W., Washington, D. C. Gives Luck to All. N.

AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH I and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C There are 5,499 Negroes employed here in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen. Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5,499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs.

TIGTIM TELLS HOW LOCKJAW Doctor was Worried When His Face Began to Stiffen—Fought Disease St. Louis.—Dr. F. W. Grundmann of Washington avenue, who was pronounced out of danger from lock-jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how he felt during his illness. "In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sure," said Dr. Grundmann. "One day, as I was stepping off a street car, it started permaturely and threw me on my knee on the street. A hole was ripped in my trousers, and a gash cut in the flesh of my knee, into which earth from the street was ground. "It gave me no trouble, palmed me very little and I gave it no further thought. About a week later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Next I observed spasmodic jerking of the limbs. These I know to be premoni- tory symptoms or lack jaw. "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 grow more pronounced and become 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." THE BEE PUBLISY Entered at the Post Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Five months.....1.00 Three months.....5.50 Subscription monthly.....2.00 MEMORIAL BUILDING What has been needed in this city for a great number of years, and which is about to materialize, is a theatre owned and controlled by the Negroes. The Lincoln Memorial Building Company, whose capital is to be $400,000 and whose advertisement, with cut of the building appears on the sixth page, will no doubt be a monument to this city. The readers of The Bee are directed to this great Negro proposition. It is the intention of the directors of this new enterprise whose photographs also appear on the front page of The Bee, to give the people of this city something they have never had. This great building will contain a large theatre, auditorium, office rooms, etc. If you want a great money making enterprise, The Bee advises the immediate purchase of stock. The men at the head of this new enterprise are above reproach. The people of Washington have been made the servants of a common class. The better to do and the more refined and educated among the white people have no objections to the better class of colored people. The officers and directors of the Lincoln Memorial Company should receive the support of the people, because they are building an enterprise worthy of consideration. It will be a lasting monument to the Negro in the Capital of the Nation. The readers of The Bee should carefully read the prospectus on the sixth page of this week's Bee. Every director is a man of the highest type, and beyond all doubt they are honest and can be trusted with the funds of the people. WORK TO DO There is no reason that some practical lessons should not be taught in our schools. The Bee is in possession of a letter criticising the manner in which some colored people enter and sit in street cars. To some extent, the writer is correct, and if one would throw out a few practical suggestions to the pupils, no doubt they may reach this class of parents. There is no reason for a person to enter a street car and sit all over the seat or to sit himself down between two persons when there is only room enough for a baby. The Bee respects the laboring man and holds him in high esteem, but there is no necessity for a man right out of a ditch or sewer to march himself up front and take a seat. He should have some regard for the feelings of others. Noisy picnic crowds should cease, before the Negroes of this city are "Jim Crowed." Why can't colored men and women act as ladies and gentlemen when they enter or leave a street car? Why fuss with the conductor? The Editor of this paper has been riding on the cars for years and at no times has he ever had a cross word with a conductor. Why can't other people ride without creating a disturbance? Yes, there is work to do in our schools, churches and societies. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The religious school that is to be started by Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, North Carolina, will be a era in the history of the Negro race. This school will be a great benefit, not only to the Negro race, but to the white people as well. The Negro must be taught good morals He should be taught to treat his fellowmen with consideration and respect. To instill into him religious morals will go a great good. Dr. Shepard is the man to teach this new propaganda. He is a man who stands above reproach, and is honest to the letter, and he knows just what to teach his people in the South to enable them to become factors and gain that respect that is lacking in that section of the country, where prejudice is prevalent. The Bee will do all in its power to aid Dr. Shepard to promulgate his new doctrine. This new school of education is meeting with approval throughout the country. He will do more, or as much for his people, as any man who has the education and improvement of his people, at heart. Aside from the religious teaching that the people will receive, Dr. Shepard will demonstrate to the world that the Negro is able to take in theories and methods that will elevate his people to the highest walks of life. JUDGE KIMBALL The Bee will admit that Judge Kimball is severe, but is he vicious? Does he not treat black and white alike? It is also true that The Bee has been opposed to Judge Kimball and made every effort to defeat his reappointment several years ago, but, since then The Bee has learned to respect him, because he knows no man by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. At the time The Bee opposed Judge Kimball's reappointment, many of the persons who are opposing him today supported him then. He is the self-same Judge Kimball. He has not changed one iota. It may be true that he doesn't sue defendants, as many of those who practice before him do. The question is what charge can you make against him? He has certainly demonstrated his honesty. Members of the bar should not oppose him simply to satisfy the ambition of a few others who may be applicants for his job. Now, if it is the intention of the President to appoint some one else in his place, it will be time enough for The Bee to suggest to President Taft his successor, but before it does so, The Bee will ascertain from the President whether it is his intention to appoint his successor. OUR SCHOOLS The public schools of this city will open next Monday, week, under the most favorable conditions. The people have become reconciled and the teachers have come to the conclusion that no one has been seriously injured. The Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Bruce, has guaranteed to give good and satisfactory results during the coming school year. It behooves the citizens and the school authorities to live in peace and harmony. It is believed that no one will attempt to disrupt the schools by false charges. It is advisable for all concerned to go slow and give the schools the necessary support. GET TOGETHER Just why the Negroes don't get together and help one another, The Bee is unable to state. The Church is not doing its duty towards its people. There is a great deal to be done for the elevation of the masses. Scroffs at "Maternal instinct." We talk about "maternal instinct." There is no such thing. To be sure, there are things that have to do with young, which females possess and males lack. The wasp lays its egg on the body of the caterpillar for the larvae it will never see. The hen sits 21 days on any roundish, whitish object of the proper size. I have seen, at a children's party, every little girl leave the supper table on the advent of a baby, and every little boy go stolldly on with his supper. But each kind of mother has its own bundle of instinctive reactions. There is no "maternal instinct" in the abstract. E. T. Brewster, in McClure's. A Determined Violet. An ancient homestead in Woodstock, Conn., shelters under its threshold an interesting freak of nature. Between the house and its huge old doorstep is a narrow crevice filled with cement. In this hard and seemingly forbidding environment a fine flourishing English violet plant awakens much wonder and admiration. With apparently no encouragement this brave little plant yearly puts forth fresh leaves and sometimes as many as ten fragrant flowers bloom at once.—Country Life in America. The Cow. There is a virtue in the cow; she is full of goodness; a wholesome odor exhales from her; the whole landscape looks out of her soft eyes; the quality and the aroma of miles of meadow and pasture lands are in her presence and products. I had rather have the care of cattle than be the keeper of the great seal of the nation. Where the cow is, there is Arcadia; so far as her influence prevails, there is contentment, humility and sweet, homely life—John Burroughs. Queer Legal Oaths. In Siberia in the wild Ostayaks law courts, the natives swear by the newly-severed head of a bear, which is implored to subsequently rend and devour them should they perjure themselves; whilst in Assam the opposing witnesses lay hold of a chicken by its feet and retain each one half as the clerk of the court chops it in two. By undergoing this ceremony they are considered to be pledged to a like fate in the event of their swearing falsely. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW Why Attorney W. C. Martin is getting so robust. If Attorney T. L. Jones should not have a valet. What man will the enemy trot out to defeat Judge Kimball. If W. Calvin Chase, Recorder of Deeds, would not sound well, and John C. Dancy, Minister to Dahomy would not meet with popular approval. When there will be a love feast among colored lawyers. What Attorney A. W. Scott is doing with a petition in his hand. Is it possible that he is supporting Judge Kimball? Why three-ourths of the bar will not support Judge Kimball's reappointment. Why Attorneys Peyton and Scott refuse to speak as they pass by. Good lawyers should be friends. Why the Police Court "Cappers" are not brought in. Why certain cappers around the Police Court are not arrested. Why there are so many bachelors among the legal profession. The suave Colonel Campbell Covington, one of the leading members of the bar, who has been on his annual vacation to the sea shore, has returned to the city. Mr. J. C. Dancy is in the South. IUDGE MULLAWNEY Judge Alexander Mullawney, of the United States branch of the Police Court, has returned, looking well. His recent vacation has greatly improved his health. BEWARE! Beware of the man who claims to know all about other people's business. Beware of the man or woman who Somewhat Perplexing Question Which Very Few Seem to Properly Understand. One of the prominent officials of the treasury department, recently ventured the opinion that not one banker in a hundred and probably not half a dozen members of the senate or house could tell accurately what parts of the United States currency are legal tender. He went on to say: "A great many people know that the definition of legal tender is money of a character which by law a debtor may require his creditor to receive in payment in the absence of a special agreement. But when it comes to stating just what money is legal tender you will find the banker all at sea. "Gold certificates are not a legal tender, but are receivable for customs, taxes and all public debts. Silver certificates are not legal tender. Neither are national bank notes. They are receivable, however, in payment of taxes, excises, public lands and all other dues to the United States, except duties on imports. Trade dollars and fractional currency are not legal tender. Fractional currency is re-receivable for postage and revenue stamps and also in payment of any dues to the United States less than five dollars, except duties on imports. Foreign gold and silver coins are not legal tender. "The following are legal tender in all that the term means: "Gold coins of the United States, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver coins, minor coin of copper, bronze or copper-nickel, up to 25 cents; United States notes or greenbacks, demand treasury notes, treasury notes of 1890. Columbian half dollar and Columbian quarters. Subsidiary silver coin, including Columbian half dollars and quarters, are legal tender-up to $10." CASE CALLED FOR SYMPATHY Life of Single-Blessedness Made No Appeal to Battered-Up Married Woman. Apropos the discussion of the advantages of married life recalls the experience of a certain bachelor mald of some forty summers and some winters. She has had proposals enough, so she says, but she prefers single-blessedness to pouring coffee, mending socks and spanking bables. She recently began devoting much of her time to working in the slums, particularly among the women and children. A pitiful case was recently brought to her attention to care for. A woman had been cruelly treated by her husband, who, as a final act, locked her out in the street. The poor, suffering creature, ragged and disheveled, reported at the charity headquarters and begged for shelter. Miss J—— dressed her wounds, gave her something to eat and then started a sympathetic conversation with the sufferer. The latter, after recounting at much length the injuries she had borne at the hands of her liege, lord and master, asked a few questions to satisfy her womanly curiosity about her new-found friend. "Live here?" she inquired of Miss J—— "No," was the reply; "I spend only a part of my time here during the day. My home is way up in Harlem." "You're married, ain't you?" was the next question. "No, I'm not married; and I may never be." The poor, wretched woman opened her bruised and swollen eyes as beast she could to get a look at her friend, gazing at her in amazement. "My, my!" she said, sympathetically. "I'm awfully sorry. Say, but ain't it fierce to be an old maid?"—New York Times. French Forest-Making. A striking example of scientific forestry is furnished by the coast of France, chiefly in Gascony, where in 1793 tree-planting was begun in an attempt to fix the sand dunes, which the winds were steadily pushing inland over the vineyards. Pine forests have now covered 275,000 of the 350,000 acres of dunes. About $2,000,000 has been spent on the work, with $700,000 more for forest administration, but the state has received $120,000 more than the cost, while the 125,000 acres still retained have a value of $10,000,000. Farther inland, about 2,000,000 acres of worthless shifting sands and marshes, in the triangular area of the Landes, have been converted into profitable pine forests since the middle of last century. This work, mostly done by the communes, has created a property worth $100,000,000, as valued from the present yield of pine timber and resin. Invited to Stay All Night. The Hostess—It's storming so hard that I guess you'd better stay all night, Mr. Scoresby. The Dinner Guest—I'm afraid I would put you to too much trouble Mrs. Brown. The Hostess—Oh, not at all! Let me see. I can sleep on the library lounge, and Jane and Martha and Ella and Aunt Mary can room together, and there's a mattress we can bring down from the attic for Willie, and Mr. Brown will do nicely with a blanket on the parlor rug. It's no trouble at all, Mr. Scoreaby. The Guest—You're very kind, but I'm quite sure the rain is stopping, and I've an excellent umbrella. Just as much obliged. Good-night—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Land of Gold Witnesses Many Strange Vicissitudes in the Matter of Wealth. To-day a humble gold-seeker may be living in a hutch of the simple architecture of a box car, says Good Housekeeping. To-morrow he is building a "villa" with real clapboards and shingles, hiring a Chinaman of all work and sending to Frisco for a brass bed and a Persian rug. Some very pretty little houses begin to dot the barren landscape. A railroad stretches its metal arm down into the gold-bearing wilderness and links it with the outer world. Come tailors, modistes and milliners, soda water and ice cream, clergymen and drummers, pickpockets and actors and all that splendid procession from the cozy corners of civilization. Social conditions were decidedly perplexing. Your washerwoman accepted a mining claim for an uncollectable debt. Suddenly the claim yields her a fortune, whereat, to show you that her wealth has not made her snobbish, she purchases an elaborate portable house and settles down as your next-door neighbor. However, if you take it into your head to move away from the vicinity of the fortunate lavandiere you would find the moving problem quite simple. A small force of husky men can pull your house up by the roots and carry it up a hill or down a slope without any great exertion—that is, unless your dwelling is 'dobe, or you happen to be one of the bonanza crowd and have gone in for heavy architecture. HOW DID THE PARROT KNOW? Hard to Explain, But Polly Certainly Had Premonition of the Coming Earthquake. "Beyond his habit of living to be 100 to 150 years old, the parrot is a truly remarkable bird in other ways," said Mr. E. N. Daniels of the City of Mexico. "What makes me give utterance to this opinion is a trick that a bird which belongs to my young son executed the night of the late earthquake that shook us up so severely in Mexico. Fully five minutes before the first shock, which came a little after four o'clock in the morning, Poll set up a terrific uproar that culminated in a prolonged scream. I didn't relish the discordant racket which broke into the slumbers of the family and felt like murdering the miserable creature, especially as there was no cessation of its vocal exercise. "While it was still coming in for my denunciations the tremor of the earth occurred, and in a second it flashed across my mind that Polly had given us warning in the only way it knew how to reach us. It may not seem reasonable that the bird should be able to sense a convulsion of nature in advance of its coming, but the facts are as I have stated, and after the affair was over I petted the parrot as much as I had scolded it a little while before. It has a meal ticket for life in the Daniels household, and money wouldn't buy it." Easily Imagined. Imagine, if you please, time when every family can have its own flying machine—a means of getting out for a day with as much safety as now attends the automobile or the old family horse. Wouldn't such a thing add a value to the world? Would it, not enhance the pleasure of living to be able to take the wife and babies out for a spin in the sky, where the air is pure, where all of the earth is spread out before one, even as it is spread before the eye of the eagle? Would it not add to the sum total of human happiness to take to the clouds as do the birds, and to have to consider neither the beaten highways nor the rocky barriers of the mountain ranges? Certainly it would. And just as certainly such a time is rapidly dawning or the human race.—Springfield (O.) News. A Millionaire Before He Was 21. A Millionaire Before He Was 21. The arch prospector of all times was Cecil Rhodes. For him it was not merely going out and putting down holes in likely places. At 17 he had been touched with tuberculosis and ordered south. Arriving at his brother Herbert's cotton plantation in Africa in the midst of the second diamond excitement, he, with Herbert, was drawn into the "new rush." They took a claim at Colesburg—at 30 shillings a month rental. In a few weeks each leased a full claim, all the law allowed. Cecil Rhodes set himself to get the law to allow one man to own two claims, then ten, and then as many as he could lay hold of. So well did Rhodes keep pace with changing regulations that he returned to England at 19 a millionaire!—Franklin Clarkin, in Everybody's. The Better Half. "I've often wondered," said Jones, "why woman is called the better half." "I'll tell you," said Smith; "but it's a hard matter to clearly define. You naturally, being a workingman, think money better than anything else?" Jones assented. "You likewise know that money talks?" "Well, we grant that money is better than all else; we grant, also, that money talks. Well, woman is half of a man's life. And—" "Yes, indeed," finished Jones, interrupting him, "and she certainly does talk." Mrs. Ivery Brown, of Anacostia, left the city some days ago for a five or six weeks visit to relatives and friends in Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, and other Southern cities. A WHITE MAN'S SNOBBERY A prominent chemist of New York, who is himself a white man writes us as follows: "A certain white man, writer of New York, has written to the Evening Mail newspaper, criticizing the New York Age for publishing ads of preparations which help colored people to improve their appearance. This white critic is a bigoted snob. When white people spend millions every year to make themselves look well, it is all right, but the moment colored people try to look well, such men turn up their noses. Now it is just as important for colored people to improve their appearance as for white people. Colored people get better positions and make more money if they are well groomed and prepossessing and presentable. When colored people make more money and use that money wisely, our sad race problem will solve itself." For free information on this subject, colored people should write to M. M. Berger and Company, No. 2 Rector Street, New York. Mrs. Bishop W. H. Heard paid a flying visit to Washington last week to see her sister, Mrs. Bessie L. Carttier, of No. 1346 Wallach Place, northwest. Mrs. Carttier returned with her sister to spend the rest of the summer season at their home in Philadelphia, beautiful "Greystone Crest." Mrs. Heard has just returned from Africa where shq was quite ill of fever, but is now looking quite herself again; We can not spare from our midst a woman so interested in the affairs of our people and the upbuilding of the principles that must eventually make for our race a plate parallel with any other race. We welcome her home. THE MAYOR If you want fresh beer, good wines and liquors, don't fail patronize this house. Hot free lunch at 12 noon daily.

One-third of Washington’s population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colon- ized 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 ke colon- ized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST- CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hun- dreds of them in the Nationa] Capital, can ob- tain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju- dice, swept completely out of the business dis- trict of Washington; 100,000 genteel, ‘prosper- ous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless | willing to submit to the most humiliating con- ditions. : Every colored man and woman IN Wash- ington, Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. 7 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 SUC- CESS, A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECES- SITY. 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 propor- tion, adequate in every respect to meet the re- quirements of prosperous professional and busi-. ness 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 BUILD- ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care- fully, 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 ES ae AY rig Raley it eee ta aes gat SS Lee ee LAY ood 2 ai es Rae” ear Peak: eer Crat ir hie eee a a PO Re eek Gc a cea Brora saye wags aed ee Eee miig or tea Frees Sih Pee ik stirs ae eee ee Ses ea Oe een age MRE Se Be 1 Satis Poe COE pa es A EO HERS rte orig Palen ety Cn See ea ee WERE eS Cane eee eer ESAS | ae SSNONE nis Ment OAR GUN Ee TEN cane ae es oe el, Se 1.

Not one dollar of white capital will be ac- cepted 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 $ro.o7 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 in- vested 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 $ro.00 stock wil! be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Build- ing Company’s stock increase in price.

Sidney Pittman, President. Fine Sight for Suffragists at Cancale in France. Feminine Police Keep Order and Feminine Labor Carries on the Oyster Industry That Makes the Place Famous. Cancale, France.—In these days of discussions of suffragist movements, women's rights and feminine business acumen, anyone in search of an example of an unusual sort might drop in upon this French channel port of some 15,000 souls when they are all at home and see a truly woman run town. There is no woman mayor, no woman in the town council. The offices are left as a mere matter of form to the men, who are seldom there to fill them, but the women are a law unto themselves; they make up the whole town, transact all the business, police the place, maintain order and strict sanitary conditions, manage the schools, and at the same time carry on the most famous oyster industry of France, doing the entire cultivating and selling and transporting the product of the ocean beds, even loading and unloading the seagoing ships that come and go at the port. And what is still more interesting to their sisters in other parts of the world, the girls of Cancale are the first to be married of all the girls of north and central France. Ask a French sailor where of all ports—excepting of course out of chivalry his own native town—the most beautiful of French fisher girls are to be found and he will tell you at Cancale. You will believe him, too, when you walk along the quays and the narrow streets and see the pretty faces and neat trim figures set off to the best advantage in the Breton dress and clean white caps, or watch the little groups in the shade of the street in the afternoon or within the deep set stone A Oyster Girls of Cancale. doorways mending nets and gossipping as fast as their French tongues can wag. The conditions that make this a woman run town come about in the most natural way in the world. All the men are fishers and they spend the greater part of the year at sea. They are good sailors and they man the craft that venture across the Atlantic to the French fishing grounds along the Newfoundland coast. It was their rights that used to come up frequently for adjustment by fishery commissions, and it is the loss of their vessels that almost every year brings sorrow to Cancale and the neighboring coast. When the men do return they find that the town has been managed so well in their absence and the thrift of the women has been so well exercised that they are content not to meddle and to let things go on as they have been going. There are proportionately more widows, and young widows, too, in Cancale than in any other town of France. A fisherman's bride waits for four years after she has heard that the boat her husband sailed away upon has not been reported and then she puts on her mourning. It is this uncertainty as to the fate of the men, thrown helpless and homeless upon the fear that at any time they may be their own resources, that makes the women of Cancale self-reliant and that leads them early to seek some means of their own for an honest livelihood. For the men that remain in the town the women do not seem to entertain the greatest respect. Most of them have become incapacitated for work or are shiftless and idle. So the women run matters themselves. The thrift that the conditions mentioned inspire is something of a passion among the women. It seems that there is a constant struggle with each one of them to make more money than the man who goes to sea. They frequently accomplish this, too, for the returning fisherman finds frequently that his yearly gain of $150 or $200 got after a hard battle from the sea is more than equalled by the patient and careful housewife that he left at home. Desert Plants Store Water. The problem of storing a supply of water for their own use and of preventing it evaporating has been solved by the desert plants in many most ingenious ways. Perhaps the most noteworthy example is the so-called "water barrel," which, of about the size and shape of an ordinary beer keg, is, in fact, nothing more nor less than a living water tank. Its whole interior is composed of storage cells so admirably arranged that the pulp which they form contains something like 96 per cent of pure water. 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W.

After Forty Years with the Red Men Thomas Stringfield Applies to the Government to Be Restored to Citizenship. Washington—Two Braids, chief of a tribe of Apache Indians, has made application to the government to be restored to citizenship, and this brings to light a strange story, for this Indian chief is not an Indian at all. For nearly forty years Two Braids has been known as an Indian and has supposed himself to be an Indian, but he has just learned of the fact that he is really Thomas Stringfield, white man, who was captured 44 years ago by a band of Apaches in a raid in McMullen county, Tex. His father, mother and elder brother were killed in the raid, and his little sister was left for dead, with several ugly wounds from the Apaches' tomahawks. But the little girl survived, was adopted and reared by an uncle and is now living not many miles from the scene of the massacre. Her name is Mrs. Ida Hatfield, and she and her brother have been reunited. Two Braids tells an interesting story of that part of his life which he remembers. Reared in an Indian camp, it was natural that he should fall in love with a woman of his race, and about thirteen years ago he married Bright Moon, daughter of another Apache chief and niece of the notorious Geronimo. Two children were born of this union, a daughter, Nuckl Two Braids, who is now ten years old and has won fame for her horsemanship and rifle shooting, and Starlight, a bright little son now three. Two Braids first learned the true story of his life from an old warrior JOHN HENRY Chief Two Bralds. named Death Face, one of the most treacherous of Apaches. About a year ago on his death-bed this Indian told Two Braids that he had not a drop of Indian blood in his veins, and that he was a paleface and had been kidnapped by the Apaches 40 years ago in Texas. Death Face could not remember the name of the place, but he described the incident and the locality. Two Braids took up the trail, which he followed with dogged tenacity for 12 months. When he had found the spot and met old residents who remembered his parents he received permission to leave Fort Sill reservation in Oklahoma, and, taking his daughter with him, he traveled back to the scene of his childhood days. He met his sister, and the battle-scarred uncouth warrior and the gentle paleface woman wept for joy for their recognition was mutual and positive. Though living with the Apaches for 40 years, Two Braids swears he never took a human life and that he worried about the crimes his brothers committed on the raids to which he was a party. Twenty-three years ago, when a band of Apaches was rounded up and captured in western Texas after a long series of depredations including murders, burning of farm property and pillage, Two Braids was in the band. They were taken to San Antonio and shipped from there to Florida and later to Fort Sill, Okla. Two Braids hair is long, but not as black and not as coarse as an Indian's. His cheekbones are not high. With his sister he visited the graves of their parents, who were laid to rest at the mouth of San Jose creek and on the banks of the River Nueces. Two Braids is raising a fund with which to erect a marble shaft to the memory of his parents and the subscription list has grown to several hundred dollars. Charts of Solomon's Temple. The Masonic lodges of Boston and Worcester, and a few others in various parts of Massachusetts, are to receive charts of King Solomon's temple at Jerusalem. The charts will be presented to the lodges through the Boston Herald. They are the gift of Mrs. Aaron Morley Wilcox of Washington. Mrs. Wilcox presents the charts because of the recent movement in Massachusetts looking to a restoration of the ancient temple at Jerusalem, and in placing the charts with the Herald for presentation to the lodges in memory of her husband, Mrs. Wilcox expresses the hope that the temple may at some time be restored to its original form. With each chart is a folder giving lettered and numbered keys to the historic significance of the temple from the outer wall to the innermost chamber. * | LEGAL NOTICES.
