Baptist Church One of the largest and most representative audiences that has ever assembled, was in the Zion Baptist Church last Moday evening. The occasion was the last meeting of the series of meetings held in this church in commemoration of the 45th anniversary. Rev. Howard has been a living monument to Zion Wesley Church. He has the love and confidence of his members. The meeting last Monday night was an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by his people. The church was packed from the pulpit to the door and among those seated upon the platform were some of the most distinguished divines and laymen in the city.

The next judge of the police court will be no surprise to the bar. Recorder John C. Dancy is thought well of by the President. A change in the officials of the public schools will take place soon. Jim Hudnell will change his bill of fare daily after the first. Jim knows how to play a drawing card. Colonel Bob Church, of Memphis, Tennessee, and Governor Pinchback, will not change places. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, Ass't Superintendent of the public schools will address the Mt. Pleasant Plains Citizens' Association at Trinity A. M. E.

Professor Wade Hammond, bandmaster of Western University, Quincaro, Kansas, has been appointed as bandmaster of the Ninth Cavalry, after passing the technical and medical examinations with high marks. The Ninth Cavalry which is stationed at Fort D. C. Russell, Wyoming, was the last of the four regular colored regiments without a colored bandmaster. It is said the wife of Professor E. C. Williams, Principal of the High School, will teach in Tuskegee, during the winter. William Lloyd Garrison, son of the great abolitionist, died at Lexington, Massachusetts, September 13, at the age of 71. This removes another of our staunch friends, as Mr. Garrison by nature and inheritance was a reformer and friend of the Negro race. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, in the Ohio State Journal tells how fully 1,000 Negroes in this city pass for whites, so as to get equal accommodations. The article is reproduced in another column. Read it, it is interesting. Colonel Roosevelt, in reply to a toast in Naiobi, British East Africa, where a public banquet was given in his honor, said: "Remember that righteousness and our real ultimate self-interest demand that the blacks be treated justly." Collector Loeb has appointed Virgil H. Parker, ex-member of the Tenth Cavalry, clerk in the Custom House. Since Collector Loeb has been in office he has appointed three colored men to be day inspectors at salaries averaging $2,500 per annum. There is a great discord among the veterans of the Army and Navy Union. It is due, it is alleged, to Commander Brown's method of conducting affairs and a discrepancy of $16,000 in the Adjutant General's report. At the taking of the last census in Massachusetts, in 1905, there was a population of 3,003,680. Of this number 55.54 per cent. were single and 37.76 per cent. married. It seems as if single blessedness is preferred in the Bay State. The Indians in Oklahoma, numbering 16,000 have prepared a petition which has been sent to this city, protesting in vigorous terms against their treatment by state and county officials. Dr. Guthrie, pastor of the Hamlin Methodist Episcopal Church, in his sermon Sunday, said he thought the work of our schools would be improved when we take steps to make the teaching profession more attractive to men, as growing boys in their teens need the example, association, inspiration and authority of men for best results According to the annual report of the Commissioner of Patents, this has been the banner year, 34.332 having been issued; 229 more than in the previous twelve months. Honorable John Albert Johnson three times governor of Minnesota, died Tuesday, September 21. Governor Johnson was loved by the people of his state and highly respected by the public at large. Though the Negro is humiliated, persecuted and abused, he is indispensable. Just think, Matthew, Henson, a Negro, has been to the North Pole! "God doeth all things well." Chief Engineer Wagner of the Fire Department, in his annual report said there had been 1,000 alarms during the year, and $320,561.50 total loss from fires. The death of Miss Lillian Parker, is regretted by the school officials, as well as by her friends. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given $400,000 to Mound Bayou, Mississippi, a Negro town, for a library. During Governor Vardaman's regime, he opposed the free Carnegie library. phur, Oklahoma, refuse to allow a. It is said the white people of Sulphur, Oklahoma, refuse to allow a colored school to be built there. Honorable W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, is to deliver an address in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 27. There has been an Industrial Institute just opened for the deaf, dumb, blind and orphans of the colored race, at Taft, Oklahoma. Don't forget it will cost you nothing to have your social news in this paper. The Macall magazine, The Queen of Fashion, is out this month in all of the latest fall attire. It should be indispensible to any woman. Mr. Harriman, America's greatest railroad magnate, has taken his last trip over the railroads. Mr. Harriman will be missed by his associates. Wonder who the Philadelphia Courant is hitting at this week? Dr. M. M. Parkhurst, the Chautauqua Bible teacher, and one of the lecturers at the Chicago Training School, since its organization, twenty-four years ago, is to present to the public soon, his lectures on the "Holy Spirit" in book form. In connection with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Oberlin College, is published a general catalogue giving the principal events in the history of the institute. BEWARE! Beware of the pretended friend; he will stab you. Beware of the pleasing man or woman. He or she will often give you the marble heart. THE EASTERN STAR MEETS The Keystone Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, Southern and Western Jurisdiction, had a most pleasant visit September and by Mrs. Sarah Burrrell, Royal Grand Matron of the State of New York, and Mrs. M. Schroeder, Matron of Fidelity Chapter No. 2 of the City of New York. While in the city they were the guests of Mrs. S. Hopkins, Supreme Grand Matron, 207 O street, northwest. At a meeting of the Keystone Grand Chapter, Sister Edmonia Carter, Past Royal Grand Matron, presided, assisted by the Grand Secretary, Sister Rosetta King, and Past Royal Grand Patron, Brother John M. Washington, who is one of the oldest Eastern Star workers in the District of Columbia, Sister Lucinda Robinson, present Royal Grand Matron of the Keystone Chapter, did not have anything to do but fold her arms and look at her children carry on the good work. The speeches of Mrs. Sarah Burrell and Mrs. Schroeder, the distinguished visitors, were full of instruction and well received. They were followed by Brother John M. Washington, who delivered a lengthy and wholesome address. After the adjournment of the meeting a grand reception was held at the place of meeting, O street Armory, in honor of the distinguished visitors.

Moore Omnipotent God who crowned our day, With grateful hearts to Thee we pray; Under cloud and sunshine led by Thee Peace and Justice we long to see. Thou God of Nations, judge our cause, And help us to keep and obey the laws A few may rage and curse in vain Because Lincoln broke the binding chain. But we pray that Thy healing hand; In mercy save the blood-stained land; And make Thy righteous judgment known, And let our foes be overthrown. Our voice forever will ascend To Thee our Father till time shall end; Let every wanderer join the band And work in peace, heart and hand. Then this race shall ever sing, To Him that rules heart and brain; And pray that Thou will once again Plant peace on earth, good will among men. "The Lord shall establish thee a holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord God and walk in His ways." Deut. 28-9. SUPPOSE HE IS? The "Bee" is still stinging. Here is one of its fangs. "It has been published somewhere and by someone, that Dr. Booker T. Washington has a financial interest in the New York Age. Suppose he has an interest in the Age, is that any crime? Those who condemn Dr. Washington because he has such an interest are no doubt nervous because he has no interest in the publications that criticise him. The Age is published in the interest of the Negro, and is one of his strongest champions. Some Negroes make jackass arguments which have no consistency." Send for The Bee if you want a live paper. WHITES VS. BLACKS HOWARD UNIVERSITY—A NEGRO INSTITUTION MONOPOLIZED BY WHITES COMPARISON OF SALARIES RECEIVED Dissatisfaction Prevailing The prevailing sentiment in the country is for a change in the head of Howard University, is an absolute necessity.

Y., Eye The Washington Bee practically admits that Dr. Booker T. Washington owns the New York Age and sneeringly inquires "suppose he does? The Bee well knows that there is no such thing as freedom of the Afro-American press in the South and should not view with such utter indifference the passing of the New York Age from the hands of T. Thomas Fortune, who made it the bulwark of our citizenship and a standard for editorial opinion, to the eringing servant and apologist that it has come to be of late. A few weeks ago the Bee reminded us that the "North is not the South," when it ridiculed us for deploring such conditions as made it necessary for Bishop Lampton to make such an abject apology as he did, and it seems to forget that we should have at least a few organs that will go after these outrages (yes, even at a distance) with a hope of some day awakening the public conscience. It forgets that Dr. W. J. White, of the Georgia Baptist was run out of Augusta, Ga., some years ago, because a clipping from the Bee denouncing the lynching of Wilson appeared in that paper. These are the things to remember, which things make the passing of such men as Fortune and his Age into hands whose policy is one of quiet acquiescence in the wrongs heaped upon us, a matter of vital concern to the race and one to be deplored.

Pathos in Last Address of Fallen Emperor to the Troops Still Loyal to Him. It was at Fontalnebleau that Napoleon received the pope in 1804. It was at Fontalnebleau 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 Fontalnebleau that Napoleon signed his abdication and said forewell to his army in 1814, coming down the horseshoe stalrcase 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! "Fear not my children!" 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 suddeult and the connecting link was sought for so immediately that a dropping out of a segment of consciousness is all together improbable, yet he felt that there was a connection somewhere, if it could but be found.

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 Cholce. 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 Marlan, aged six months and four days. It was impossible that a slight parental rivalry should be altogether concealed. "Marlan does not seem to grow very fast," sald 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 Marlan, coldly, "but Marlan 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 mortals.—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?"

THAT SETTLED THE QUESTION Youngrter's. Explanation of His Father's Standing Left the Others Away Behind. The story, long since familiar, of the little boy whose boast that his father had put a cupola on his house was capped by his playmate, who remarked, proudly, that his father had just put a mortgage on thelrs, is brought to mind by an occurrence which was told the other day by a prominent politician. The small son of a man who was in politics for revenue only, on moving into a new district this summer, went out and struck up an acquaintance with two other kids of the same age who lived in the neighborhood. They were interested in the newcomer and began to try him out as to what his parents amounted to anyhow. "My father is a window trimmer and an awfully big man," said the first kid. "Ah, that's nothin'," said the second. "My father's a dump trimmer, and he's twice as big as your's." It was plainly up to the stranger to make good. And he did it with much gusto. "My father is a politician," he said, "but I heard a man tell him last night that he was the biggest trimmer in this ward." And it was apparent to any one that the new kid had made a strong impression upon the neighborhood. EYE OF THE CAMERA IS KEEN Has Been Used to Decipher Documents Substantially Obliterated by Age. Often the eye of the camera will decipher documents of which the writing had been substantially obliterated by age, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine. I have successfully copied with the camera the utterly faded photograph of a classmate of 40 years previous. Changes in the pigment of the skin, undiscovered by the eye, appear with distinctness on the sensitive plate, and it is said that ample warning of approaching disease has been thereby given. The camera takes pictures of subjects which cannot be made to appear on the ground glass and of those which the eye of man has never seen. The human eye can penetrate space no further in an hour than in a single instant. Yet the eye of the camera will gaze into the sky for hours, looking deeper and seeing more with each second that passes. Through this attribute of the camera a great chart of the heavens is now being made. In this work distinguished astronomers and photographers throughout the world are cooperating. Yet not one in a hundred of the stars already plainly pictured by them was ever seen by the unafided eye of scientists. Too Tough > Morsel. "Tenderfoots" are not necessarily fools, as the guide of whom a writer in the New York Herald tells discovered. He was recounting some of his early experiences with the brethren of the wild, for the benefit of his open-mouthed audience of easterners. "Yes, sir," he said, "it was my first grizzly, and I don't deny I was proud of having killed him in a hand-to-hand struggle. We began fighting about sunrise, and when he finally rolled over, done for, the sun was going down." He paused. No one said anything, and so he added slowly, "for the second time." "Do you mean that it took you two days to kill a grizzly?" asked the English tourist. "Two whole days and one night," replied the guide. "He died mighty hard." "Choked to death?" asked the tourist. "Yes, sir," the guide said, calmly. "Well, well! What did you try to get him to swallow?" Canal Long Ago Projected. It is now nearly 400 years since the first proposal was made for the Panama canal. A canal was suggested as early as 1520 by Angel Saavedra, but for a long time all such suggestions met with determined opposition from Spain, who made it a capital offense to seek or make known any improvement on the existing route from Porto Bello to Panama. More recently Louis Napoleon, when a prisoner at Ham, spent much time considering the practicability of such a scheme. It was not, however, until the California gold rush of 1849 that any accurate knowledge of the topographical conditions was obtained, and even then 30 more years elapsed before the actual site was chosen by an international commission and the work begun. Use for Elastic Conscience Riggs and Briggs are two Montreal citizens, more or less interested in municipal affairs. They differ on several burning questions, but unite in a strong dislike for O'Flaherty (which is not the gentleman's name). The same O'Flaherty has a positive gift for manipulating votes and is capable of looking after a larger band of the "faithful" than any other Montreal politician. "It's men like O'Flaherty who give this city a bad name," said Riggs warmly. "He's got no principles at all. In fact, he doesn't think of anything but getting his man in." "That's so," responded Briggs. "If I had a conscience as elastic as O'Flaherty's, I'd make it into a rubber trust." 9 BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND CARD READER TELLS ABOUT BUSINESS. 1228 25th St. N.W.

BANK PAYABLE ONE HOUR AFTER DEATH. AMERICAN HOME LIFE INSURANCE CO., FIFTH 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.

TCTIM 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, pained me very little and I gave it no further thought. About a week later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck pained me and were constricted. Next I observed spasmodic jerking of the limbs. These I knew to be premoni- tory symptoms or rockjaw. "I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistaken, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I believed I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless I was worried, and when that night the symptoms grew more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them all the more closely. "That night I got a real shock. I observed a growing rigidity of the muscles of the jaws. If it kept on they would become locked beyond all hope of unlocking them. "In one day I had 6,000 units, about a fluid ounce, of the serum injected. My jaws continued slowly to grow more rigid, but we fought the disease with the serum until at last we saw that we had the disease going the other way, and we fought it out. "The germs of tetanus may be in any manner of dirt. If you have a wound in your finger and go out into the garden and stick it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting lockjaw." ae ese ee ESE es eee, Se Oa Re Ee % are r Se FN Bet SE NES OR ee, OS eS - : i, ._ oe '. = ® 7 oO .

It is a kind’ of 2 booklet and it fails to stats, whether it is to be published daily, weekly, monthly, or year- ily. However, The Bey welcomes it to the field of journalism and selects for it a lot in the grave- yard of journalism where all of them have found their way soon- er or later. The Bee hopes that it will not be the fate of the School Teacher. The Bee hopes that the mission of this little booklet will be to elevate the ‘teacher and strengthen hjs ideas. The lot of the school teacher in the Negro schools has been a jrard one. He has been cowarded and almost enslaved. Today Ne- gro school teachers sit upon. an anxious and uneasy seat. His term of office seems to be un- certain. He looks for a demo- tion almost any time, on the rec- ommedation of the prejudiciai supervising principals, Of course there is an exception sometimes All supervisors are not prejudic- ed against the teacher. Tale bearing and tattling in the Schools by the under stray. -.pers should cease. The mission of the School Teacher should be to elevate the teacher and in- struct him how to proceed in the higher walks of life. The ten- dency of many is to pull down and elevate their favorites. What the Board .of Education has ‘failed to do, The Bee has been informed that Congres: wil do. There are, many evils that the Board of Education can- not overlook, and will no doubt mvestigate. To a great extent, the Board of Education is beihy " imposed upon. The Bee has en- deavored to keep out of the school tangle, but how can it: The Bee had hoped that when the school term began, all would be serene. There has been som talk an the part of Superintend. ent Stewart, to adopt certain aa: ditional rules to force more work out of the.teachers. Mr. Stewart The Bee believes, has the inter est of the teacher at heart. Th Bee has always believed in hin and believes him to be an hones and upright man. The School Teacher has ; gréat work to do. The Schoc Teacher is on the catering order ‘The first issue doesn’t demon strate a manly front, It lack originality. The reader must in fer its mission from its name and not ftom the matter it con tains. The title of its leadin; » editorial is: “Promotional Ex aminations for Teachers,” whe! it should have stated the aim an mission of the publication. Th examination and promotion ¢ jeachers must have been uppe: most in the mind of the edito: It is true that examinations, re ductions and promotions hav been the stock in trade of th Negra schools for the last fev years. ‘The Bee is of the opinion tha higher ideals should have beer in the mind of the editor. I The Bee is to judge by the edi- torial, it would say that the edi- tor is connected with the schools and he is making a defense of himself against the attack. of the teacher, The editorial is very significant, | The School Teacher doesn’ come up to our expectation. HOWARD UNIVERSITY The colored members of the trustee board of Howard Uni- versity have something to do. From what appears.in The Bee this week it is evident that the white’ brother at the Negro in- stitution is doing everything in his power to push the colored brother to the wall, Now take a look at the salaries of the whites and those of the colored, anc let The Bee have your opinion, The list.of the whites shows, that the whites at Howard Uni- versity are not only receiving larger salaries,but in, addition to the large salaries they are fur- nished with a house, while many of the Negro professors and teachers are given rooms. Ten whites have houses and large salaries, while the colored profes- sors, teachers, and help are re- ceiving less salaries and only four colored teachers have houses, and the others are given rooms only. Professor Cook, acting secretary; Professor Moore, of the Teachers* College. receive as much as the Dean of the College Department, Proies- ‘sor Miller, ‘here is no white teacher receiving less, than $650. Just look if you please, at the recent or new appointments of hs whites, which are as follows: Teacher of Physics, $1,700. | . Nature Study, $1,500. - Commercial. $1,200. Printer, $800. . Total, $6,200, The new colored appointments are: " ° Music, $350. + Librarian, S400. Preceptress, $500. ie Total, $1,250. 7 . which is $4,950 dollars more than the new colored appointees arc receiving, Are the colored teach- ers going to sleep? Here is a Negro institutior with white men in control, liv- ing in style. and comfort. The tuition of the law department has been increased, This is con- trary to the promises and agree ment entered into when, Senator Everett, through Professor W. H. N. Hart, had Congress ap: propriate a large sum of money for the benefit of the law school A white man has been ap: pointed in the place that Profes sor DgCatur should have had. I is about time for the Negroes it this country to wake up. There is no braver man in the pulpit today than Rev. F. J Grimkie, of Rev. Waldron. The Negro ministry should learn ny the example they set. They ar brave and honest in their convic tions on public measures. Howard University is in nec, of reformation and when Con | gress convenes The Bee will se lif the just cannot be rewarde: and Negro institutions be fille | with Negro teachers. ‘The whit | man is looking out for himself {the Negro must do likewise. | OUR BOYS AND GIRLS 1] The scene is sad and distress ine. Year after year hundred The scene is sad and distress- ing. Year after year hundreds of girls and young men graduate from our Normal and the Arm- strong Manual Training School. After many of them leave school they look around to see if they ‘can find something for their ‘hands and minds to do. The first thing that confronts them is racial prejudice. The Negro business man has nothing for them to do. If they obtain employment, ten ‘chances to one that they are in- ‘sulted, The Negro man is not [inclined to treat the colored young woman with respect while in his employment. The young woman who makes the sacrifice to work for her own people should be treated with respect and the employer should see that she is protected, = There are few, if any avenues | opened to our yoting women. It is to be regretted that so many of our young women are push- ing baby carriages for the oppo- site race, or the young educated colored boy slinging hash after he has finished a course. in the, Normal, High School, or College. The hotels demand educated colored men. The old colored waiters are fast passing out of sight. The old washer woman has given way to the more im- | proved. appliances The young is from our High and Normal schools put on the white apron and sit'at the toilet of the white shop girl, or stand behind the lunch counter as servants for many of these ignorant and pre- judiced whites. The white shop girl claims her superiority over the educated and refined colored Normal School, graduates. What is to become of our girls? The Negro business man is slowly rising. Those who are able to hire the young colored girls would rather do their owr typewriting ‘and other work than to give employment to the young colored boy or girl, On the other hand, the schools fail to give everything that is necessary tc make a good business hoy o1 girl, The Negro has .no_ busines: high school, The Armstrong Manual Training School shouk ‘have a business school connecte¢ with it. The time 1s coming when business men and womer will be in demand, The Bee i: of the opinion that one-third o} the graduates from any branci }of the public schools canno' write a business letter. |, What is to become of our boy: ‘and girls?)* | DR. WASHIINGTON MAKES A TRIUMPHANT TOUR THROUGH OHIO AND 1S GREETED: BY UN- PRECEDENTED — ATTDIENCRO | Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 21.— pe Booker T.Washington swept through Ohio last week, and fairly carried the state gvith him. On last Friday night he delivered an address before the Colored ‘National Baptist Association, and the auditorium was crowded by more than five thousand people. At the conclusion of his address the ‘audience arose en masse and wildly cheered the sage of Tus- 'kegee, and crowded around him, almost blocking his way to the entrance door, The audience was evenly divided between the whites and blacks, the best citi- zens of the ‘city turning out, in- cluding merchants,, proiessional mien and city and state officials. On Sunday Dr, Washington addressed two immense meetings at Kron, Ohio, at one of which Senator Dick presided. Akron turned out its most representa- .tive citizens to -hear him, rich and poor, high and low, black and white side by side crowded through the doors to hear him. The same anxiety to hear him, tthe same enthusiasm that greets him at every point in every sta.c Lwas noticeable in Ohio, and if | anything, in a more pronounced j.deeree. Every. time Dr. Wash Nizgton speaks in Ohio it is al- Lways before an increased audi. ence, No Negro, not since the [day of the great Douglas, is a: , popular in Ohio as Dr. Washing | ton.. { The meeting of the colorec | Baptists was a great success | both in point of attendance anc Jinterest. All the daily whit newspapers here gave great spact to the meetings, running the ac | counts on the first page, and il: lustrating the accounts,’ each day + with many cuts of the prominent j ment and women in attendance |.’ The next meeting of ithe As sociation will be held in New 1 Orleans. ® 7 PEOPLE AND CHURCH All denominations are alike. We mean the church: denomina- tions, “There is but little salva- tion in the pulpit. The upper- most thought in the mind of the pulpit today is how*to get the money. What scheme can be in- augurated to build a large church, What methods can be adopted to take from the pock- ‘ets of the people all of their money. Many of the present church structures seem to be small for pastor and the people. Instead of building so many big churches and straining the life out of the people, the church is not doing its duty toward fallen humanity. There is too much vanity in the church. There is too little interest manifested on the part of the people in the church. The so-called educated Negro takes very little interest in the churen, Many of them are above the church, Many of them don't be: lieve in the church. Their stnat. tering of knowledge of books and events cause many to look upor the church as a mockery. It is no crime to be a Chris: tan, or to connect oneseli to the Christian Church. Tt ig no crim to be good but it is a crime to b: ‘bad. It is a ctime to kill, steal and commit other crimes agains the laws of the land, There is a great deal for th church to do for the people There is too much bombast ir the pulpit and too little Chris tianity. * Let the pulpit be reformed. WASHINGTON IN. . THE OUTLOOK The articles by Dr, Booker T. Washington, appearing cach week in The Outlook, like an ex- citing serial story grow more in- teresting cach week. Judging from the first three articles which have now appeared, this is to be the Doctor's best literary effort. The articles fairly teem with in- teresting data and facts relative ‘to the Negro, and are destined | to awake a greater and wider in- terest in, and a-more liberal feel- ing toward the race. He traces with graphic pen, the coming o! the Negro to this country, his sbondage, his emerging irom slavery, his sufferings, and_ his advancement, The articles are in a most op: timistic vein, quite like the Doc: | tor and the style, while some. what Washingtonian, is unusual. ly attractive. Every Negre should by all means follow these articles for the information the} convery. Much ‘unwritten his tory is presented to the readers and some written history is pre sented’in a new light. It wil pay you to follow closely the series of articles now running it The Outlook from the pen of the world’s most famous Negro. THE NEGRO POLITICIAN The passing of the Negro poli- tician is an absolute certainty. Ile no longer is a factor in tne ester bedy politic. We see him no more heading delegations to the Executive Mansion. In his own state the white politic ans have relegated him to the rears and tell him to, speak no more, He is not invited to the counc‘ls of his party any more. His presence is a menace to par- ty success. Hence the passing ‘of the ‘Negro politician is a certain- Rs A new idea has strirek the Ne- gro politician. He is being edu- |cated and directed in industrial and commercial lines. He is now under a new dispensation. He must secure something that is valuable and useful to his white neighbor. He must manu- facture something that is valu- able to his more fortunate white brother. When he does that he will think no ‘more of his, color but he will be 2 commercial fac- tor. which is the salvation and elevation of the brother in black. * PRESIDENT TAFT ,, The opposition by President Taft to the disfranchisement ot the colored voters of Maryland should convince the colored Americans, that-President Tait i not inimical to their political wel- fare. $ . ey 4he aisiranchisement of tne colored voters is more important to him than his appointment to office, It is true that no new col- ored appointments have been made. Does this go-to show that the President is opposed ‘to. the ‘colored man? Mr, Taft has been in office seven months, October 4- Mr, Taft has plenty of time to redeem his promise, so far as | office appointments are concern- ed. It will do us no harm to wait a while longer. It is an aphorism too true: “Unhappy is the man who hangs on princes iavors.” If you look for no office then you will not be disappoint. ed. There is something for the colored man-to do in Maryland He must know how to vote wher he is in possession of the ballot HENSEN AT THE POLE It is gratifying to every Negre to learn that a Negro accompan ied Peary to the North Pole, anc that onthe last dash Peary con sidered him the best equipped o all his followers to accompany him. In New York the colore: | men, with Honorable Charles W Anderson at the head, are ar ranging a reception for Henser jon his return from the Artic re | gion. Washington is the hom of Hensen, and this city shoul arrange to give him a proper re ception on his return to this city A man who, used to a climateal most bordering on the tropics will risk life to go to the unin |habited and irigid ice-encircle region of the pole deserves to b | honored. : || FHAT PRESS CONVENTIOD | The Bee briefly mentioned th | fact that at an alleged press con i vention ‘held in the city of Loui: | ville, state of Kentucky, las .| month, that a newspaper corre: || pondent had‘ been elected pres _| dent of an Editorial Press Assc _| ciation.” The Bee stated then a ,| it states now, that a national ed f| torial press association shoul ;| be organized and,an editor elec ,|ed president. Negro editors, lik ,| all others,.are liable to commi blunders. The more sensibl .| ones ‘who atended the conventio .| opposed the election of a new: _| paper correspondent as presider ./ over editors, but their protest » did not prevail. THE SOUTH’S GREATEST LEADER North Carolina can well boast of a great and progressive young man in Dr, James E, Shepard. There is no man in this coun- try that is gaining the good will and respect of the American peo- ple any more than this rising re- ligious advocate, the father of a new religious and industrial pro- paganda among the colored Americans, Dr. Shepard was in the city last week en route to New York He had a pleasant interview with Mr. John Joy Edisa, Dr. Simon and other distinguished men ir the interest of this school. Mr Edisa will visit Durham short] and inspect Dr. Shepard's grea work. © # "GOVERNOR JOHNSON The death of Governor John Johnson, of, Minnesota, takes from the stage of politics one oi the most remarkable men of the age, Governor Johnson, although ‘a Democrat, was a man without prejudice and had he been nomi- ‘nated instead of Mr. Bryan, the i presidential election would have ‘been in doubt. Fi Governor Johnson was a good ‘man, Loved by the people of the ‘State of Minnesota, irrespective of politics,he recognized men of merit, not partisans. His death is to bé regretted.

THE CITIZENS PROTEST Just what the citizen’s com- mittee will accomplish by going to Congress with charges against the Negro school officials re- mains to be seen, Captain J: F.

English Writer Has Sounded a Warning Against the Domination of Look about you, and sooner or later you will see some man to whom the idea of wealth, as wealth, does not appeal. I advise you to watch this man closely for he will presently demonstrate to you that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money. You may meet that man on your farm, in your village, or in your legislature. But be sure that whenever or wherever you meet him, as soon as it comes to a direct issue between you his little finger will be thicker than your loins. You will go in fear of him; he will not go in fear of you. You will do what he wants; he will not do what you want. You will find that you have no weapon in your armory with which you can attack him; no argument with which you can appeal to him. Whatever you gain, he will gain more. I would like you better to be that man, because from the lower point of view it doesn't pay to be possessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth is necessary to you for purposes not your own, use your left hand to acquire it, but keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger of stooping; in danger also of losing your soul.—Rudyard Kipling. CARRIED AVERSION TO GRAVE. With Thought of Death Before Him, Atlantan Was Strong on Antipathy to Water. Obsessed for years with the notion that water is fit for drinking purposes only, and then only in small doses, Joe Booth, a well-known character about town with the beard of a patriarch, strolled into the undertaking parlor of Greenburg, Bond & Bloomfield, says the Atlanta Journal. The weight of 70 years was on his shoulders, and the sorrows of ages seemed to weigh on his heart. "I ain't got long in this world," he said. "I want to make one last request. When I die I want you to lay me out, but I want you to promise me one thing—don't, please mister, don't wash any part of me, except my neck!" Mr. Bond looked at the man a moment wondering if this was a case for the ordinary or the board of health. "Please, mister, it's a little matter—the last request of an old man—just my peck.. that's all." Seems 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 stolidly 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 If a National Press Association of Editors cannot be organized. Why correspondents don't keep in their places. What those editors were thinking about when they went to Louisville, Kentucky. If they thought themselves incompetent for one of their number to be elected president. The Hudnell puts out a high tone free lunch. How Jim can afford it. How the canvass of James Pugh is progressing. If an effort was not made to have a white matron at Howard University. If Professor De Cater is not to be vindicated. Why Professor Moore is not supported at Howard University. How many bachelor lawyers are in the city. If Register Vernon is not a power in the West. Dr. James E. Shepard was in the city last week and left for New York. Attorney Royal Hughes, who has been sick, is out again.

The eyes of the world are on Washington.. One-third of Washington’s population is Negro. Hf 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 be 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 hua- dreds of them in the National Capital, can ob- tain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! x00,000 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. 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. F 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. 7 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 sa ER ait Vg Ee, so * . - ad ey, . oa . | 7 . ey . gs a ag |" , Aw ao ae Pan eS : Onda ge hag ay Ee RRR EE ETE eon, | hy = ypvredres ees ies es aT ites Want ayhensiasaa PAIR RRS 2 ‘ -¢ ~ =n or < a aw 2 ity PPE A a Lae Lem. ee a. 6% i ye. : fj ? i .

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. « 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 $ro.co 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 $10.07 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $t0.00, 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 $10.00 stock will 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. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allot- ment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present oppor- tunity to get invas completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. é 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 in- vest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.

HE WANTED TO BE ON TIME But It Is Probable Mrs. Blank Had Something to Say to Him That Night. He was a very busy man, and, like all of his kind, he hated to waste time by unnecessary waiting. That was why in the midst of his correspondence, along about 11 o'clock the other morning, he paused, and, turning to his secretary, requested him to ring up his residence on the 'phone. "Jemmison," he said, "get my house on the wire and ask Mrs. Blank to come to the 'phone. Just tell them that I wish to speak to her." The secretary made off, and in a few minutes the required connection was made. "Is that you, Mary?" he said. "Yes," was the answer. "Well, this is John," he said. "I have just rung you up to tell you that Barker was in here this morning with two tickets for the theater to-night. He and Mrs. Barker have been called suddenly out of town, and he thought we might like to use the tickets. How about it?" "Fine," replied Mrs. Blank. "I have nothing else to do." "All right, my dear," continued Blank. "The curtain rises at 8:30." "Yes. I know," said Mrs. Blank. "I thought I'd let you know in time, so that directly you have had your lunch you can begin to put your hat on," he went on. "Then we can get there before the middle of the first act. By-by, dear." The only answer was an angry click at the other end of the wire, which seemed to indicate that another receiver was in trouble, but Mr. Blank only laughed as he returned to his work.—Lippincott's. NO FOREST FIRES, IN EUROPE There Every Part of the Tree Is Utilized, Leaving Nothing to The question has been asked why there should be so many fires in our American forests when there are so very few or none at all in the forests of Europe. The answer is this, says Outing. When the trees are cut in the forests of Germany, France or Switzerland, the entire material in the tree is marketed and removed, leaving no inflammable litter on the ground. In our American forests, owing to lack of market for such material, fully one-half of the tree—the limbs, smaller branches, twigs and foliage—are left upon the ground, where they soon become dry and furnish material for a forest fire. In the European forests every part of the tree, including the smaller twigs, is sold. The sale of this minor product constitutes over one-half of the revenue. Hence, when the forester is through with his tree cutting no inflammable material is left upon the ground. Now, if our Adirondack lumbermen could sell the limbs and tops of the trees instead of allowing them to go to waste for lack of a market, they would not be obliged to leave the ground encumbered with the inflammable debris and litter which is such a prolific source of fire, and which when ignited is so difficult to extinguish.
