VOL.XXX NO19 To The Doctors BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SAYS RACE NEEDS MORE DOCTORS Talks to Howard Students: Says Number of Negro Physicians Should Be Twice as Large as It Is President of Tuskegee Will Remain Here Several Days—Medical and Other Departments of the University Begin Session. Telling the students who matriculated in the Howard University Medical School Monday morning that there is plenty of work for physicians of the Negro race, and admonishing them that they must, after graduation, keep up the standard of the profession, Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute of Alabama, delivered the address to the students in the university chapel at noon. "I am not indicating or advocating that the color line should be drawn in the practice of medicine," continued the speaker, "but I think it fair and just that the Negro race should have a fair proportion of Negro doctors to practice among Negro patients. At this time there are more than three thousand intelligent Negroes engaged in the practice of the most exclusive and highest professions in the world. There are only about half the number of physicians of the Negro race that there ought to be. In the case of the white race there is one doctor to every six hundred people. Even if the Negro doctors increase to 3,500 we would have only one to every seven thousand Negroes in America. "There is plenty of work for you to perform in the interest of human- and your race, but, after you receive your diploma from this institution remember that the standard of the profession must be kept up. We need four thousand additional Negro doctors. In that respect, then, Howard University has a serious responsibility resting on it, as well as, a great opportunity. "It is the mission of the Negro doctor to teach the gospel of health to our people, and in this much-needed work schools like the Medical Department of Howard University should have the confidence and support of all people of this country, irrespective of race or color, and especially is it important that Southern people realize that Howard is working for the whole South in helping to preserve the health of the Negro." The Tuskegee educator was introduced to the audience which filled the chapel to overjowing, by Dr. W. R. Thirkield, president of the institution. He referred to him as a great educator, a statesman, a humanitarian, and a citizen of the world. Dr. Washington will remain here for several days, and participate in the opening exercises of other departments of the University. Dr. Thirkield Also Speaks Dr. Thirkield also addressed the students. At the same time that the Medical Department opened the Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy began the matriculation of students. Dean E. W. Ballock; president of the District Medical Society, presided at the opening of the medical and correlated departments. At the opening of the Theological Department, at ten o'clock, Prof. John Ewell delivered an address to the young students who have entered that department. Fred Smith, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., delivered an address in the memorial chapel of the University at 10.45 o'clock. Many friends of the institution attended the opening of the schools yesterday. POPULAR EDUCATIONAL MASS MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF FERGUSON- TEREST OF PERCUSSION WILLIAMS COLLEGE Asbury M. E. Church was most brilliantly lighted on Monday evening, October 4, and a grand popular educational meeting was held there to awaken an interest in the great work Rev. and Mrs. E. V. C. Williams are doing at Abbeville, S. C. The meeting was opened by devotional exercises conducted by Rev. E. W. Williams, D.D. Miss Lula Howard presided at the organ, and several selections were sung by Miss Virginia L. Williams. Rev. Williams, in introducing Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University, gave a brief outline of the work which is being done at Abbeville, where Mrs. Williams and he have labored with great success for about thirty years. Prof.Kelly Miller spoke with great earnestness, giving his most hearty endorsement to the work and to Rev. and Mrs. Williams, the workers. Professor Miller was listened to by the large audience, with the closest attention, and his remarks were received with great applause. While Professor Miller was speaking Dr. Booker T. Washington was seen coming up the aisle; this was the occasion for an outburst of applause, which did not subside for more than a minute. There were a number of distinguished persons on the program for addresses, but by common consent Rev. Williams presented Dr. Washington, who made one of his characteristic speeches, in which he said that, while traveling in South Carolina, he had heard nothing but good of Rev. and Mrs. Williams and the noble work they are doing for the uplift of the race. Dr. Washington having several other engagements was forced to leave at the conclusion of his remarks. He placed his contribution on the table and urged the congregation to give liberally to the support of the work represented by Dr. and Mrs. Williams. Short addresses were then made by Dr. W. V. Tunnell, of Howard University; Mr. Joseph Williams, of Abbeville, S. C.; Mrs. E. V. C. Williams and Mr. J. A. Lankford, who also lifted the collection. A goodly sum was realized, and Dr. Williams and his good wife left greatly encouraged. Dr. and Mrs. Clair and the Asbury M. E. Church are to be congratulated on the splendid work they are doing for the race in Washington and vicinity. May they live long to bless the world with their good deeds and labors of love. HELPING HUMANITY Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered several speeches Monday. He was a very busy man. He tried to help everybody, including the poor. After his speech at Howard University he was told that he had another grandchild that had just arrived, so he immediately went to Fairmont Heights, to the home of his most amiable daughter, Mrs. Pittman, and was greeted by a bouncing boy, who has been named Booker T. Washington Pittman. After giving the father and mother good advice he arrived at the Howard Law School and told the lawyers how to conduct their cases. He had told the doctors what to do in the afternoon. Not being satisfied with the advice he gave the lawyers, he went to Asbury A. M. E. Church, corner of Eleventh and K streets northwest, where he was met by Rev. E. W. Williams and wife, Mrs. Ella V. C. Williams, Prof. Kelly Miller and others, where he delivered an address on Ferguson and Williams Academy, of Abbeville, S C., which was very encouraging, and before he left he gave a contribution. He had an engagement with his private secretary, Commissioner Scott, at the residence of Dr. J. R. Francis, where he went and remained until train time. He left on the 12 o'clock train for the East. A SPECIAL SERMON The Ladies Crispus Attucks Association will have a special sermon preached to them Sunday evening at 7.30 p.m. at the People's Congregational Church, M street between 6th and 7th streets northwest, by the pastor, Rev. S. B. Moore, Ph.D. An invitation from them to the Men's Crispus Attucks Association met with hearty and unanimous acceptance, and the organization, with its four hundred members, have been notified to be at the church at 7 p.m. sharp. 1 Miss Gonevia B. Maxfield It is said that Mr. A. N. Fields, formerly editor of the Chicago Western Opinion, will start another paper, the "Illinois Chronicle," at the 15h of this month. The National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president, will open on the 19th of this month. Several prominent speakers will take part in the opening exercises, which will take place at the school. At the Hotel Astor last week, in New York, there was held the "Medal of Honor Legion." This organization is composed of heroes only of the Civil War who were decorated by Congress for heroic services. Gen. Horace Porter is commandant, and of the three hundred members of this organization only two are colored — Maj. C. A. Fleetwood, well known in this city, and John Lawson, of Philadelphia, Pa. Rev Reynold E. Blight, of Los Angele, Cal., made a stirring address in the interest of the Negro. Among other things he said: "Say what we may about the Negro, a race that can produce such characters asTouissaint L'Overture, Frederick Douglass, Professor Du Bois and Booker T. Washington, is worthy of the largest consideration from the proudest race on earth." We have still some friends to advocate our cause. Charles M. Pratt, general secretary of the Standard Oil Company, and president of the Pratt Institute, of Brooklyn, has announced that he and his sister, Mrs. E.B.Dane, would give an endowment fund of $1,700,000 to the Pratt Institute. At a meeting of the Yale Corporation a gift of $42,500 from William D. and Henry T. Sloan, of New York, for the erection and equipment of a physics laboratory was made known. Also a gift of $25,000 from Alfred G. Vanderbilt and a subscription of $15,000 was received from George Hewitt Myers. Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered the opening address to the Medical Department of Howard University last Monday. His address, as usual, was full of wit, humor and good, practical sense, and was highly appreciated by his heares. With nearly one thousand officers and enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, 400 civil passengers 16 invalids, and a number of insane patients and military conflicts, the U. S. Army Transport Sheridan arrived at quarantine, from Manila, October 4. The soldiers were assigned to Fort George Wright, near Spokane, and Fort Lawton, at Seattle, Wash. The marble statue representing the birth of the idea of the American DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Flag, ordered by the City of Baltimore from M. Meries, the sculptor, has been completed and will be shipped shortly to America. Prof. George E. Nitzsche has received word that the University of Pennsylvania has won the gold medal for the best educational exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle. The Sight-Seeing Automobile and Investment Company, of which Mr. Griffin is treasurer, was the only one owned by colored people which took part in the automobile and floral parade last Thursday. Donald Monroe Gilbert, son of the editor of the Western Christian Advocate, sailed on the 8th for Paris, where he will study at the Sarbonne, perfecting himself in the Romance language, the teaching of which he will, make his life-work. He will remain for a year or two, and spend some time at the German Universities. Mr. Gilbert graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut in 1908, and afterward taught one year in Porto Rico. From the estate of the late Miss Mary J. Robbins the American University received more than $1,250. Miss Robbins was greatly interested in Christian education.

He is the first colored preacher or evangelist to lead a midnight street parade in Washington, D.C., last March, when fully ten thousand to fifteen thousand took part. He duplicated the street parade similar to the one of the famous Gypsy Smith, in leading thousands of people through the streets of the National Capital. Dr. Drew came to Washington and conducted one of the greatest revival meetings ever known in that city, where nearly one thousand people were converted and gave their names to join the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The church afterward elected Dr. Drew as their pastor,and gave him $650 for four weeks' work, but he never served them, and they were so anxious to have him as their pastor that they left in a body of about one thousand strong and organized what is known today as the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, N street northwest, between Ninth and Tenth streets, with Dr. Drew their honored and beloved pastor, with a membership at present of twenty-five hundred. This great church was recognized June 29, 1908, by one of the largest councils ever assembled in the United States. The recognition sermon was preached by the great Baptist giant, Rev. George W. Lee, D.D., LL.D., pastor of the great Vermont Baptist Church, with a membership of four thousand strong.

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 sait 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 suddeely 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 lit - tle cloak ar' Sun-d'y clothes; An' when my Pa comes home to tea, She loves him most as much as wenn sie kocht und wenn sie brät'; Und wenn Pa - pa dann kommt nach Hans, Dann set - zen wie uns hin sempre. f me.

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 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," 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 Marlan, coldly, "but Marian weighs more." "Oh, well," responded the sister-in-law, with a smile of high-bred superlority, "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.

"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?

L Pennell had his share of peril and adventure, which he has recounted in a volume entitled, "Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Border." As a medical man, Dr. Pennell had his ups and downs with the native doctors, who sweat their patients and turn sores with lighted oil, but have no faith in western treatment. They also bleed and purge; but gradually the new-fangled treatment was accepted, and grateful converts were made at the Bannu dispensary. As a missionary, Dr. Pennell had to contend with the mollahs, who are argumentative and great browbeaters; and very often, he confesses, he got the worst of it by verdict of the ragged crowd that hemmed in the theologians. With a certain mollah, who regarded the Christian medicine-man as a rival, Dr. Pennell had an amusing encounter. "Do you know," asked the mollah, "what becomes of the sun when it sets every day?" The doctor gave the native circle the scientific explanation. "Rubbish!" exclaimed the mollah. "We all know that the fires of hell are under the earth, and that the sun passes down every night, and therefore comes up blazing hot in the morning." All Dr. Pennell's accounts of natural phenomena were ridiculed by the mollah. Then, turning to his people, he said, with contempt in his face and voice: "It is evident that I shall have to teach him everything from the beginning."—Youth's Companion. ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE Battle Formation First Used by Scotch Troops at the Battle of Bannackburn. The greatest of all Scotch anniversaries is that of Bannocburn, fought on midsummer day in the year 1314. Apart from its bearing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an exceptional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. "Proud Edward's" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot-folk, armed with the spear, and these Bruce threw into "schiltroms," or oblong squares—a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Flemings, who had employed it with success at Courtray—to resust the charge of the English cavalry. Hitherto the mounted mall-clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute, spear-armed infantry drawn up in "schilltrom" or hedge-heg formation, and these two battles revolutionized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy, and still more at Aglincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Balaclava were the first to discard it with "their thin red line," and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether. Duel with a Tiger. Three Jakuns (aborigines) and a Malay chanced to be together in the jungle in Johore when they came across a tiger. They were only armed with parangs, and the Malay, wisely deciding in favor of discretion, took to his heels. Not so the Jukuns, however; for they at once determined to give battle, not utilizing their numerical superiority, but in the most sportsman manner arranging for the combat in a series of duels, if necessary. As might have been expected, the series was necessary, and the end was not long in coming. The first man who entered the fray missed his blow and was at once struck down, and the same fate befell his two comrades, all three being killed.—Singapore Free Press. For Parents Only. Parents nowadaya have good cause to grumble. When they were young, father and mother were paramount. Now that they are old, pa and ma don't count a straw. "After all," exclaimed the young lady visitor to the paterfamillas, who had supplied her plate with all the cholest titbits from the roast fowl, "there is nothing in the world like the breast of a chicken, is there?" "I can't say," replied paterfamillas enviously. "I have never tasted the white meat in my life. When I was young my parents ate it; now my children do." Soldier's Odd Weapon. A soldier named Pavlet was condemned to death by court-martial at Oran, France, the other day. He was charged with assaulting a corporal whilst on duty. During the hearing he threw at the president of the council a curious weapon made by himself, the blade of a pair of scissors fastened into a wooden handle. He was at at once tried for this crime, and the death sentence pronounced. Mme. Davis. A BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND CARD READER TELLS ABOUT BUSINESS. 1228 25th St. N.W. Washington, D. C. Gives Luck to All.

VICTIM TELLS HOW LOCKJAW Doctor was Worried When His Face Bogan 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. "I 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.

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 unhocking 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 sought 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 Bee has watched with considerable interest for a long time the policy of the Eateena) tional Sunday School Association toward the Negro under its pres- ent management. The Negro has always been appreciative of the things that have been done in be- Maalf of the race, and we believe /; is growing in appreciation of those things that friends thru- out the country continue to do, Especially is this true of all ci- forts along religious and educa- tional lines, The International Sunday SchoolaAssociation is a great body of organized Sunday School workers. It has a tremendous power for good or evil, and it docs seem to The Bee that a body which is supposed to stand for right and truth and for that fellowship characteristic of the followers of the lowly Nazarene, ‘should make the effort to have those feelings manifest in all its actions toward its membership. Instead, it is sad to relate, and our opinions are based upon pos- _ itive authority, — that there is vot as much prejudice and hatred to be found in any organization —secular or religious—as in the International Sunday School As- sociation: The disgraceful scenes of -the Louisville Convention are yet iresh in the minds of many. Con- trary even to the express desires - of the Southern white contin. gent, it was sought by the re sponsible management to intro duce Jim Crow conditions int a Christian assemblage. In al the years previous (with the pos sible exception of Atlanta) ther had been no friction. We under stand that the Chairman of th Committee stated in vehemen language that the “Negroes wil have to take that or nothin; _ else.” and now comes the crownin; humiliation! In the years gon by, the work of the Internation al Sunday. School Associatio: among the Negroes has been di rected by colored men. We poin + with pride to what has been ac complished through these agent: especially under the administra tions conducted by Maxwell Marcus, and Shepard. The re . markable impetus given to Sun day School work in the Sout! can be largely attributed to thes men, and yet the present Chair man would have us believe th work of these men have beei . failures, and upon his recom mendation we are told that th Central Committee decides tha for the future the work of th International Sunday School As sociation among the Negroe shall be conducted by a whit man, to be known as Superinten dent in charge of.the work amony Negroes,and that under him shal I: eappointed a Negro who shalt) work in four States, under the direction of the whit@ -superin-| tendent and a spccial committee Shades of Moses! iter all these years of progress and ad- vancement along educational and religious lines, it is a reflection upon the race, if among its re- ligious leaders one can not be found capable of directing the work among our Sunday School people in the Southland. We do dot believe the members of this Association know to what ex- tent the color line is being drawn in its affairs. We do know, how- ever, that the great membership in all the denominations, North and South, white and black, do rot endorse this proposed action. Those who cater to passions and whims will learn that the South- ern whites do not admire, respect or follow mollycoddles; they al- ways admire bravery, The Bee is no religious journal. Its mtission, howéver ,is to defend the right and truth and to safe- guard the rights of the people. We trust theNegro religious bod- ies will look into this matter, Our people can not afford to accept any gift supposed to come|in the spirit of the Master but, markéd with the habiliments of the dev- il, We shall have more to say about the proposed book to be is- sued by this Association . which is to show the remarkable prog- ress of the race. : WHAT SOME RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS ARE - DOING FOR THE NEGROES, We point with pride to the rec- ord of some of the religious bod- ies in their work to help uplift the Negrocs. The Methodists Episcopal Ch. North has a Negro for one of their General Officers, with sal- ary.equal to the white General Officers. One of the secretaries of the Epworth League is a Ne- gto, besides several Field Super- intendents of Sunday School work, : The International Young Men’s Christian Association employs three Negro General Secretaries and we are told will soon put in the fourth one. The American Baptist Publica- tion Society employs,a Negro 'District Secretary for the South and he directs their work among the, Negroes., The American Missionary As- sociation (Congregational) have for years employed Negro Field Missionaries, The American Bible Society employs a Negro district secre |tary, or field agent. The Amer. Jican Tract Society also. ‘| All of these agencies are now | spending thousands of dollars an nually; they treat the Negro a ‘Ja man and a brother, and it re ‘|mains for an association repre ‘|senting all dencminations an | which spends only a few hundre« tldollars among the Negroes t draw the color line and treat th Negro as a Jim Crow Annex.

When that institutio z| continues to be for the Negro. 1} The compliment ‘thatDr.Wash ington paid Prof. Kelly Miller was a deserving one,’ Professor: Miller, as dean of the College de- partment, has brought hundreds of students to that institution. There-is no man in the country any more respected than Profes- sor Miller, *- #" Does The Bee understand Dr. Washington’to mean that the country must stand by Dr, Thir- Kield, right or wrong? His re- cent speech would indicate that, anyway. The Bec does not agree with Dr, Washington’s speech. There were a iew things that should have been leit out. Per- haps the Southern colored man is more capable of appreciating his speech in full than the North- ern Negro. The Northern Ne- gro cannot see things as Dr. Washington see them. It is truc that the physician of today: must prevent the body from becoming sick. He must adopt the more advanced science, as Dr, Wash: ington suggested. The Bee doe: agree with him when he admon: ishes the Negro physician to be clean when he visits his patients He must keep good company. Ir many instances his speech gav good advice to the Negro phy: jsician, FORCE THE REMEDY It is quite evident that the only method to adopt to make the Ne- gro amount to anything is by us- ing force, While many white people discriminate against the ‘Negro on account of his color, it is deing him good, Since there are so many drug stores that will not serve him, he is” establishing drug stores of his own, There are some of the finest drug stores in this city controlled and con- ducted by colored men and wom- en, . : There is no excuse for the Ne- gro not being able to be accom- modated in first-class oruler. He has drug stores, restaurants, din- ing rooms,hotels, cafes, ice cream parlors, and everything that will cause life to be made agreeable and happy. The more the white people take from the Negro and force him upon his own resources the better he will succeed in ev- ery path of life. ~ INDUSTRIALISM -Andustrialism is the keynote or one of the foremost attributes of American civilization. Without it the Negro is lost in the equa- tion. Higher education is all right for those who are capable of tak- ing it in, but, the masses who must Iearn a trade to liye by should take kindly to industrial- ism. The moment a white per- son tells the Negro to follow in- dustrialism he becomes angry an¢ feclares that the white man is in imical to higher education for him, This is not true, to a great extent, the Southern white mart has shown great friendship fo the Negro, more so than “he doe: for each other. Tuskegee is do ing today more than any indus trial school.in the country, Dr Washington may have his.faults he does not claim to be perfect— but there is one thing about him and that is. he is a friend to hi race, and that The Bee knows his enemies to the contrary not withstanding, : A NOTICE There will be a mock Annual Con- ference held at John Wesley A.

Naval Commander Goes Out of’ Serv- ~ Ice Without Having Seen Active . Service—Once Chief of Naval War College. Newport, R. I.— Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, U, 8. N., who was retired the other day, having reached the age llmit of 62 years, will be re- membered as the commanding officer of the around-the-world voyage of the American navy, from San Francleco to Hampton Roads, Succeeding -““Fight- ing Bob” Evans, who successfully piloted the fleet from Hampton Roads to the Golden Gate, Admiral Sperry had the usual misfortune of those who succeed a public favorite. However, Sperry soon proved that he was an able commander as well as a faithful second-in-command. Evans and Sper- ry both spent the best part of their lives In the service of the United States. | Admiral Evans was born In 1846 and entered the navy in 1860. Admiral ee was born in Brooklyn in 1847 and entered the naval academy two years after Admiral Evans. Sperry was educated in the public schools of Waterbury, Conn.,’ which has renained his home, so far ad a naval officer can have a home. He married Edith Marcy, a daughter of William L Marcy, who was governor of New York state in 1833-39, and later sec- retary of state under Polk, and secre- tary of state under Plerce, Admiral Sperry was promoted to ensign in 1868, to master in 1869 and to lew: tenant in.1870. He has had three tours of duty as Instructor at the United States Naval- academy, 1874-78, 1881-84, and 1887-91. He was com eee Neutenant commander 1885; served on the Chicago of the squadron of evolution, 1891-93, and at the bu. Teau of ordnance in Washington, 1892-95. He became a commander in 1894, and from 1895 to 1898 was at the New | York navy yard. His knowledge o! f, WH 1 a Al ea ne t ie fordnance was an important factor in preparing the fleets for the Spanish- American war. It was bis devotion to this work which prevented him from getting a better war command than that of the Yorktown, which he held |{rom 1898 to 1900. From 1901 to 1903 'he commanded the New Orleans: | Despite his long career in the ‘naval service, since April, 1868, when jhe was appointed ensign, Admiral Sperry has never seen active service. | “At the time of the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, the admiral, |then a commander, went to Washing- ton and asked for a ship. He wanted to go to the front. | “Any officer can command a ship,” ‘sald the bureau chief. “You go to | Brooklyn and superintend the fitting out of the ships with ordnance. There ‘Ys no glory about that, but you can make yourself mighty useful.” | Admiral Sperry went back to Brook lyn, bis home town, and there served Jout the war in the Brooklyn navy lyara. By virtue of his presidency of the | War college, Capt. Sperry was 4 mem ber of the general board of the navy 'jand he was the naval member of the [satel coast defense board. In May, ‘11906, he became a rear admiral, and tn June went to Geneva as naval dele | gate of the United States to revise the |convention -of 1864, concerning the treatment of sick and wounded !r {time of war. In 1907 he was again th naval delegate of the United States a [ie second interhatlonal peace con “Iterence at The Hague.

And yet a harder ora more devoted worker does not live. Inaccyrate he sometimes is. Who in the world is not? To reflect justly in words the most trivial incident is one of the most difficult of human tasks. But consider the vast number of times when, after the most ardu- ous effort, the reporter secures the news and presents it clearly and in- terestingly. The public reads, enjoys, profits—and forgets. It {s only when something goes wrong that some one sits up and scolds. THAT NEW ASSOCIATION from the @hiladelphia tribune,” We fear that the National Pipss Association has been’ reorganizd, with our old friend, Afr. RW. Thompson, as president. In the te- organization we detect the same pld marks of weakness that caused jhe decline of the old organization, uz: the absence of the men who are gc- tively engaged in the publication snd editing of papers, and the ateript to tack the Press Association onlto some other body, : * When the late Dr.Simmons orgmn- ized the original Press Associati(n he took the pains to gather into is fold men who were actively enga{- ed in the work. Sych,men as Fol tune, of the New York Age;Mitc! ell, of the Richmond Planet; Cooper of the Indianapolis Freeman: Lew} is, of the Petersburg Herald; Perry, of the Philadelphia Tribune;, Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette; Chase, of the Washjngton Bee; Murphy, of Baltimore, and many others. All of whom represented a class of men in the business. And the very minute these men lost interest in the move- ment and the sessions were made up, in the main, of correspondents and proxies, the Press Association began to wilt and eventually died. For years our old friend, the Hon- erable Cyrus Field Adams, tried to Tejuvenate the parent body by tying it on to the Afro-American Council, ‘but the thing would not work, and now Mr. Thompson is trying to tie it on to the Business Men’s. League, and we fear he, too, will fail. Fail, because he does not know that tne vital questions which require the at- tention of the bona fide newspaper man are so important and varied that no other issues can be injected when the real, active host .of newspaper men get together, and we very much fear that little good can or will be accomplished to further the work among newspaper men until the bona fide men take up the work, as they should do. Of course, we have no figtit with Mr. Thompson because he has had the courage to start something. As bright and jovial and as competent as he is as a correspondent, he does not publish a paper, hence has not rubbed against the ordeals and hard- ships of a publisher, and only the experienced fellows can tell what should or should not be done by a Press Association. It may be that Mr. Thompson was induced to take this step by the ad- vice of our friend Dr. Washington, and the organization newly formed may be sufficient to carry out his ideas. This may all be true, but as a practical newspaper publisher we beg to convey the same message te | Dr, Washington, viz: that 2 ‘gennine National Press Association must be made up of bona fide publishers, and s s Fair View Park Spend a day in the Country with the Birds and Wild Flowers. . —aT— FAIR VIEW PARK, situated on the Little Fall Road or District Line; reached by the Cabin John or Glen Echo cars.

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

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

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 Start Confelgration 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.

USES WINGS TO CATCH FISH Sly Old Bird is the Cassowary, According to Observations Made by Naturalist. Habits of the cormorant and of our native fish hawk are generally known. Their methods of taking fish are very much like those of birds of prey. But the cassowary fishes according to a method of its own. A well-known naturalist witnessed its operations on a river in the island of New Britain. He saw a cassowary come down to the water's edge and stand for some minutes apparently watching the water carefully. It then stepped into the river where it was about three feet deep, and partially squatting down, spread its wings out, submerging them, the feathers being spread and ruffled. The bird remained motionless, and kept its eyes closed as if in sleep. It remained in this position for a quarter of an hour, when suddenly closing its wings and straightening its feathers it stepped out on the bank. Here is shook itself several times, whereupon a quantity of small fishes fell out of its wings and from amid its feathers. These the bird immediately picked up and swallowed. The fishes had evidently mistaken the feathers for a kind of weed that grows in the water along the banks of the rivers in this island and which resembles the feathers of the caskowary. The smaller fishes hide in these weeds to avoid the larger ones that prey on them. ONLY AS OLD AS SHE LOOKS Woman of To-Day Retains Youthfulness Longer Than Her Grandmother Did. Women in Switzerland grow old more gracefully than any of the other women in Europe, according to a letter to the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. That does not mean that women who work hard in youth and sap their lives out before they are 30 are pretty. Not even American women of that type are beautiful. Perhaps it means that, owing to social and economic conditions, women do not have to wear themselves out as their mothers did, and hence they are beautiful in their forties and fifties. It may be pertinent to digress here and present this query: Are not women the world over, as a rule, adding a decade to their years of youth? It does seem that there are more handsome women between 35 and 55 than there were 25 years ago. Or perhaps a boy in his 'teens isn't so charitable to the minor fallings of a woman in her forties as a man is in his forties. But discounting the pride of youth, it does seem that to-day, all over the world, the woman whose family income is between $10 and $1,000 a week—a wide range, surely—this woman retains her youthful freshness and charm longer than her grandmother-retained hers. Labor-saving machinery seems to have done that much for the woman in general everywhere in civilization. The Man with Mechanical Ability. The man with a natural aptitude for mechanics received so many invitations to take automobile trips with friends who acted as their own chauffeur that he came to be envied by his less fortunate acquaintances. One day the popular guest condescended to enlighten them as to his true status. "You fellows needn't get greeneyed," he said. "I haven't such a snap, after all. What they want me to go along for is to blow up the tires and make repairs in case of an accident. I wouldn't be such a hot favorite if I wasn't so proficient in that line. That knowledge is somewhat galling, but as I enjoy the trips I swallow my pride and accept the invitations." Vlrtues of the Hazel Twlg. Virtues of the Hazel Twig. Hazel twigs long have been used as instruments with which to discover water under ground. The twig has at various times been credited with many marvelous powers. Not only could it discover water, but concealed lodes of metal, especially silver, were betrayed by the hazel, which, according to tradition, was guided by the pixies who guarded the treasures of the earth. In France the divining rod of hazel was used in the pursuit of criminals, while in many of the methods of investigating the future the burning of hazel nuts played a part. Wonder of Nature. A noted divine was very fond of riding on horseback, and, being vastly conceited about his fine figure, wore stays to show it off. One day he was thrown from his horse and lay prone on the road. A farm laborer from a neighboring field ran to his assistance. The first-aled man began to feel the parson all over, and suddenly yelled out to another laborer: "Rin, Jock, for heaven's sake, for a doctor. Here's a man's ribs running north and sooth instead of east and west." Had No Complaint to Make. Had No Complaint to Make. Two young women boarded a crowded street car and were obliged to stand, says the Washington Post. One of them, to steady herself, took hold of what she supposed was her friends hand. They had stood thus for some time, when, on looking down she discovered that she was holding a man's hand. Greatly embarrassed, she exclaimed: "Oh, I've got the wrong hand!" Whereupon the man, with a smile stretched forth his other hand, saying: "Here is the other one, madam." Otard Dupuy's Very O.d Cognac - Surpasses all other brands in quality, age and delicacy.
