VOL.XXX NO 23 Carson Claimed by Death "COL." PERRY CARSON DEAD The death of "Col." Perry H. Carson takes from the old school of politicians a man known to those he served faithfully well. Mr. Carson came to this city some time during the days when it tried mens' souls to be brave. He came from Baltimore, Md., where he had been living for a number of years. The colored people in Maryland had but few privileges, and Mr. Carson thought that he could do better in this city. At that time the Irish held sway in "Swampoodle," and it was dangerous for a colored man to venture east of North Capital Street. Mr. Carson headed a gang of rangers from which he took the title of colonel. He and his followers, Dick Smith, Tom Sorrell, Sam Ashland, and many others who made themselves famous by defending colored citizens who at that time were being outraged by the Irish and others who were opposed to the colored citizens. It was some time before Carson made himself felt as a political factor. He was identified with the Bowen regime and acted in the capacity as messenger to the Major. When Sayler J. Bowen was legislated out of office Carson went with him. Alexander Sheppard played an important part in local politics after the fall of the Bowen regime. After the fall of the territorial form of government Carson was employed by the late Fred Douglass, was made U. S. Marshall by President Hayes, as a kind of a messenger to go with the van from the court house to the jail Mike Michel of Philadelphia, Pa., succeeded Mr.-Douglass and Mr. Carson was retained. It was during the McMikel administration that Carson permitted a prisoner to A. escape, for which he was severely rebuke by the marshal. McMikel called Mr. Carson into his office and said to him, had he been attending to his business instead of interfering with politics his prisoner would not have escaped. If it ever occurs again said the Marshal he informed Carson that he would be discharged. Several years intervened before Mr. Carson was permitted to have his name placed upon the government pay roll. Carson came to the conclusion that the only way to have himself enrolled on the government pay roll was to hold indignation meetings. There never was a week passed but what Mr. Carson would hold an indignation, and same time in the interest of his people, but the moment he was appointed under the local government, nothing else was heard of the indignation meetings. It was while he was working under the Harrisons' administration that he left it and supported the late Wm. Ballison of Iowa. This is how Carson obtained his political pull with Mr.Allison: Mr. Carson was persuaded to vote for Harrison, but nothing could induce him. This was the political downfall of Mr. Carson. He lost his membership on the National Committee. His associate Andrew Glewson refusal to support him, hence nothing was left to be done by the new chairman of the National Committee to appoint a member of the National Committee for the District of Columbia. Carson could no longer crowd himself in after his defeat for the National Committee. Col. M. M. Parker succeeded himself two terms and the third term declined to be a candidate. Many Republicans did THE BEE WASHINGTON not understand Col. Parker, but he was the best friend District Republicans ever had on the Board of District Commissioners. Carson never was elected a delegate to the National Republican Convention fairly, but once. The contest between himself and Bailey was lost by Carson, but the heeler counted him in. Mr. Carson was counted in at least three times. The death of Senator Allison was a sad blow to Mr. Carson. He lost his political pull when the Iowa senator died. The Blaine Invincible Club could have been made a great organization under a different leadership. Mr Carson began to lose prestige when his greatest political colleague, John W. Freeman left him. Freeman was the shrewdest political lieutenant Carson ever had. It was Freeman who captured the Central Committee from the late M. M. Claff. It was Freeman who held the enemy at bay in some of the greatest political contests Carson ever entered. From his services Freeman as well as his sons received the black eye. Another one of Mr. Carson's good political lieutenants was Peyton Harvey in the 8th district, not a more faithful man existed. When those men left Mr. Carson he began to lose out. His followers begin to leave him and today the Perry Carson several years ago is no more. Carson had some good qualities as well as selfish ones. The District Commissioners acted in good faith when they offered Mr. Carson another place. He could fill no other place, and indeed, a great number of his friends thought that the place offered him by the Commissioners was a good pension. He was married recently, about two months ago, to a Miss Alice Carter, A full report of the marriage appeared in The Bee. He died at 1111 Fourth Street, N.W., Sunday morning, and was buried Wednesday afternoon. The ceremonies were very impressive. SECRETARY BALLENGER'S ORDER IGNORED. Negro Laborers Treated Like Slaves →Working Over Time and Denied the Usual Holiday. Secretary Ballenger of the Interior Department is regarded by the country as a man who believes in treating his employees as human beings. Secretary Ballenger is not aware however, that the colored laborers in his department are complaining of the ill treatment they are receiving at the hands of his understrappers. Colored laborers are denied any regular hours to work as is done in the rules governing the work hours. The executive of June 8th makes four hours a days work during the month of July. August and September, this being an executive order, a verbal order was issued by some sub boss that the laborers could not leave the offices before their full day's work was done. The time book will convince the secretary the irregular hours that colored laborers have worked. This complaint is known to the white men in the office, who have read that the rules are being violated. If any order is changed the secretary would have to give his reason in writing, but the sub-bosses issue verbal orders regardless of the secretary. The colored laborers are not paid any more for night work than they are for day work. The secretary has never ordered any night work to be done, but it is being done just the same. It will be remembered that Secretary Ballenger in a recent speech delivered at Howard University declared that the colored employees in his office should receive fair treatment, and The Bee believes that he meant it, but he cannot correct these abuses unless he has an investigation and guarantees that that those who testify shall be protected from the vengeance of those who are in a position to do these colored laborers harm. Many of these laborers claim that they are treated worse than convicts who have been sentenced for some crime. Many of these laborers are being persecuted and they are without redress. As a matter of fact, the Secretary of the M. H. Interior doesn't know how badly his colored laborers are being treated. Almost every night some new order is issued to those helpless colored cated, but color prejudice keeps them men. Many of them are highly educated from being promoted. To the alumni, former pupils and friends of Howard University. Greeting: You have already been made aware of the death of Gen. O. O. Howard, founder and patron saint of Howard University. Gen. Howard stands out before the civilized world as the incarnation of Christian philanthropy. To us who have been the special beneficiaries of his labors, his death has a deeper significance and meaning. I am sure that every loyal son of Howard has been profoundly moved by the tidings of his taking off. As president of the Alumni Association of Howard University, I propose Memorial meetings in his honor in the different cities where a considerable number of Howard men are to be found. In case where local alumni associations have been organized, I suggest that meetings be arranged under their auspices. In other instances let the spirit of loyalty and gratitude make this an occasion for bringing all Howard men together. I deem it appropriate that this occasion be utilized to stimulate interest in the proposed Alumni Gymnasium for the physical development of our student body now over 1,300 strong. I shall be glad to take up details of such arrangements through correspondence with those who will assume the leadership in the several communities. When the world stands ready to do homage to this Christian hero and philanthropist surely the sons of Howard University will lead the way. ATTORNEY JONES' APPEAL. The article that appeared in The Bee a few weeks ago relative to the appeal of Jerry Fleming, charged with vagrancy, the types should have stated: "Because a person was idle does not necessarily follow that he is a vagrant," and this opinion says further that "these acts are constitutional, they should be construed strictly and executed carefully in favor of the liberty of the citizen." The arguments were made to the Court of Appeals by Attorneys Jones and Clinkscales, Attorney Jones making the principal argument was highly commended by members of the bar, who were present and heard Mr. Jones speak. Miss Gonevia B. Maxfield It is said a few weeks ago, a colored boy, twelve years of age, was brought from Waycross, Ga., to Savannah, Ga. for safe keeping, from would-be lynchers. Just think in the "Land of the Free. Home of the brave," hundreds of men attempting to lynch an infant. Where is the roasted civilization of this country, when such atrocities are going on, meeting held in Tuskegee, Ala, preliminary plans were formulated for a Semi-Centennial, Exposition to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the freeing of the Negro slaves in the U. S. The Exposition which will be held in some Southern, city in 1913, it proposes to show the progress of the Negro, not only since slavery, but since his first landing in America. Among those behind the movement are: Dr. Booker T. Washington, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Dr. C. T. Walker, Hon. Ernest Lyons, Major R.R. Morten, Miss Caroline Phelps, Stokes in his will, left an estate of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, which will be used for the erection of modern tenements, also the education of Negroes in Africa and the United States, and for the education of North American Indians and needy and deserving white students. The Lily Republicans of Denligh, a small town in Virginia, are trying to get rid of the only Negro postmaster in the whole state of Virginia, Mr. S. A. Morse, who has been postmaster for six years.A great many of the whites are in favor of Mr. Morse's retention. Negroes throughout the State are declaring that a Republican administration should not lend itself to perpetration of an outrage that would be involved in the dismissal of a capable official and one who has the support of nearly all the patrons, for the office. The active and veteran members of the Tenth United States Calvary have issued an appeal for funds to erect a memorial over the grave of the late Lieut. Col. Charles Ayers, in Arlington Cemetery. General O. O. Howard, the soldier and patriot, whose death occurred in Vt. last week, will be greatly missed. General Howard was a great benefactor in the educational uplift of the colored American race. He leaves behind him a living monument, where all who wishes may attend and get light, knowledge, and education, (Howard University). Lieut. Jesse Gardner, graduate of the class of 1904, Armstrong Manual Training School, is now a machinist in the United States Navy Yard at League Island, Penn. Boston is to have a $1,000,00, college for the education of women and girls of middle and pooer classes girls will be taught in house work, sewing, trades or business, so as to prepare them to earn an independent living. A party of five Alaskans, all familiar with Mount McKinley, has been organized to climb the peak this winter so as to put an end to the controversy to wheather Cook reached the summit. The party will start the 15th of this month. There are 12 fewer retail and 9 fewer wholesale liquor establishments in the District then there were in 1908. There are 514 renewals, of retail and 125 renewals of wholesale, whereas last year there was, 526 retail and 134 wholesale liquor establishments. An interesting article appeared in The Reformer this week, on "Our young Girls." Among other things, it said: "If we would have proper women, our young Misses must be properly trained. It is indeed sad to see the indifference that so many of our young Misses have for selecting proper ideals. This fact must be changed, and our girls must be taught to select proper ideals and then stick to them. We live in an age when people accept no excuse for wrong when it applies to a Negro, so we must put forth great efforts of self-denial and do away with excuses. The National Afro-Art Company of this city, proposes to place before the people of the country the husts of Negro men and women who have won fame among various lines. The sculptor who will prepare the work, will be Mr. Isaac Hathaway, of Ky. The officers of this enterprise are: Charles Hall, president; Dr. W. S. Beard, vice president and gen. manager, and Dr. J. Mitchell Seabrook, secretary and treasurer. LAYING OF CORNER STONE. The corner stone of the Alexander Memorial Baptist Church of West Washington located on N street, between 27th and 28th Streets, was laid last Sunday afternoon by the "Grand Lodge of the Knights of Jerusalem." This congregation is a new one who "came out" from the First Baptist Church upon the accession to the pastorate of a young divine, the Rev. Oscar Ricks declining to serve under him. This young pastor for several months was subjected to many trials and tribulations whilst holding on, instigated and approved it is said by a large number of the "older members" of the church, Rev. Ricks however, "won out," the courts having sustained his contention, backed by the younger element of the First Church. The officers of the "new congregation" have acquired a very valuable piece of real estate, and the new building is quite a commodious one. The Knights were escorted from their hall in 11th Street, N. W., by a band of musicians, marching to West Washington by the way of P Street. A very large crowd attended the ceremonies which were elaborate, lasting from 2 until 7 o'clock P. M.. There were many members of Rev. Ricks church present, presumably attracted there by curiosity, rather than other motives. They by no means wore a dejected look, however. Their appearance suggested to the reporter of The Bee that deep down within their souls they were saying "More churches, better the brethren." SPLENDID BANQUET To Be Given Minister Lyon and Bishop Scott. Arrangements are being made to give Hon. Ernest Lyon, U. S. Minister to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, who is stationed in Liberia, a banquet on November 16. The affair is to be national, both in its scope and importance. Coming at this time, when Liberia is looking across the fathers of waters to America for help and protection, the banquet to these two distinguished representatives of the race is both timely and fitting. It is expected that prominent men of the race from other cities will be present. In fact many have already advised that they will come to this banquet. Send for The Ree if you want a live paper. Menelik Neur To Deal Menelik Neur To Deal Addis Abeba, Abyssinia, Oct. 30—Emperor Menelik was striken with apoplexy on Thursday night. His condition is considered precarious. Berlin, Oct. 30—A dispatch to the Tageblatt from Addis Abeba says that King Menelik's condition has suddenly become worse. Apparently he is suffereing from an apopletic stroke, and his death is considered near. The patriarch has anointed Prince Lidj Jeasu, grandson of the king and heir apparent to the throne, in the presence of the ministers, in order to be prepared for any eventuality. Ras Tessama, the viceroy, has been appointed and confirmed as guardian of the prince and regent. Menelik II., Emperor of Abyssinia, one of the most remarkable men of modern times, ascended the throne in the midst of the greatest trouble, and in the face of the blackest of obstacles; but his determination and enterprise brought conditions to his country such as his subjects had never enjoyed before. Born August 17, 1848, upon the death of pelle sam 1848 when but 22 years old. An Ancient Kingdom. Abyssinia, the Ethiopia of the Old Testament, which with China enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest states in the world; is composed of a series of kingdoms, and the entire country is ruled by the strongest of these kings. Menelik, when he first assumed the throne, found his principality in a weak condition, but it was only a few years until he was declared king of the entire country. The Italian government, by 1889, had gradually annexed, bit by bit, the entire country, and Italian soldiers were sent in that year to take possession of the entire territory. Petty jealousies and squabbles existed between the various rulers, and it had, up to that time, been impossible to induce them to band together against a common enemy. It was at this juncture that Menelik made his appearance. He called upon his fellow-monarchs, and the country, to a man, arose. An army of 145,000 was raised. In 1896 the Italian army, a modern one, met the Abyssinian forces and was forced to retreat, leaving 30,000 invaders dead on the field. From a despised "Negro chief" Menelik in a day became the equal of European sovereigns. Menelik has since proved as successful a ruler as he was a general. His army has been improved, the country has been opened to trade, railroads, and improvements, and the old-time wars between the subordinate kings has been done away with. He married Taitou, a member of one of the oldest families in Abyssinia in 1883, and has one child. THE NATIONAL NEGRO EXPOSITION It will be recalled that at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League in Louisville, the following resolution was passed: Since the year 1913 will mark the close of a half century since the promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation, we recommend that a committee of which the President of this League shall be Chairman, be appointed at once to take into consideration a National Negro Exposition to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of freedom, its location, scope and financing. In carrying out the spirit and purpose of this resolution, Dr. Booker T. Washington, President of the Negro Business League has appointed to serve on this committee, the following persons: Mr. E. L. Blackshear, Principal, Prairie View State Normal School, Prairie View, Tex. Dr. C. T. Walker, president, Walker, Baptist College, Augusta, Ga. Major R. R. Moton, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. Others to constitute members of this Committee will be announced at an early date. It is also understood that the Committee will have a meeting at some central point within the next few days.

Whenever a German railway guard feels lonesome, and. does at know what else to do with himself, he takes ‘a walk round the train and gets the passengers to show him their tickets, ‘after which he returns to his box cheered and refreshed. Some peore rave about sunsets and mountains and old, old masters, but to the German railway guard the world can show nothing more satisfying, more insplr- ing, than the sight of a railway ticket. Nearly all the German railway of- ficials have this same craving for tickets. If only they get somebody to show them a raflway ticket, they are happy.

How She Knew. « “I do think,” exclaimed Mrs, Tolk- er, indignantly, “that Mrs. Gadabout Is the most aggravatingly inquisitive woman, if I must say 50, I ever knew. Why, I never pass her,on the street but what she invariably ‘turns her head and stares back at me to see what I've got on and how it sets from behind.” “How—er—that is, was wondering, my dear, how you found out that the mean thing looked back, Some one tell you?” inquired Mr, Tolker, inno- cently. And Mrs. Tolker stralghtway turned the stream of her indignation, seeth- ing hot, from Mrs, Gadabout to her “insinuating wretch of a husband,” as she fondly termed him, and after the first pyrotechnic outburst steadily re- fused to speak to the unfortunate man for the rest of the evening.

Washington.—Joseph C. Blackburn, who is reported to have tendered his resignation as president of the Panama canal zone, is a distinguished Kentuckian, who has won fame at the bar and in the senate. He was born in Woodford county in 1838, and 20 years later was admitted to the bar, after which he went to Chicago and practiced law until the civil war broke out. Then he went south and served in the confederate army, resuming his [Illustration of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Former Senator J. C. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky. law practice when hostilities ceased. He was United States senator in 1885-97, and previously served in the national house of representatives and in the Kentucky legislature. Mr. Blackburn also had been a member of the lathman canal commission. He was conspicuous in the movement for the free coinage of silver. The report that ex-Senator Blackburn had tendered his resignation as canal commissioner recalls the fact that there is a possibility that all seven commissioners now constituting the governing body at Panama may be legislated out of office the coming winter, if the Mann bill now before congress is enacted into law. That measure contains many provisions of importance to the canal zone, but its essential feature is the abolition of the present commission and the placing of the construction of the great waterway in the hands of a chief engineer and a director and the responsibility for the management of the canal zone in the hands of a governor In its general features the proposition has the approval of Secretary of War Dickinson, and had it not been for the overshadowing importance of the tariff legislation at the special session of congress the bill probably would have been enacted into law already. One person may fill any two of the three offices provided for in the reorganization contemplated. Ithman canal commissionership is considered a pretty good office, as it pays $11,000 a year. Mr. Blackburn has been filling the place of civil governor during his connection with the commission, and has, it is said, made a splendid record. MAY BE NEW JAPANESE ENVOY Baron Yasuya Uchida Said to Be Slated as Ambassador to United States. Washington.—Baron Yasuya Uchida, who, it is reported, will succeed Baron Takahira as Japanese ambassador to the United States, is one of the most prominent of Japanese diplomats. He was born in 1865 and was educated at the Imperial university at Tokyo. In one diplomatic service he has filled several important positions. He was one of the Japanese plenipotentiaries who concluded the treaty with China on Manchurian affairs and was made [Illustration of a man in a suit and bow tie]. vice-minister of foreign affairs in 1906.

Ice in Buenos Aires retails for $1.25 gold a hundred, yet Buenos Aires is a fairly liberal ice town, and would be a great consumer of a cheap and plentiful product. ```markdown ``` 1228 25th St. N.W.

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.

"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 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.

In the Department of the Interior, that great and good man, Secretary Ballenger at the head, colored laborers are oppressed and almost enslaved by a class of sub-bosses and understrappers. Complaints come thick and fast to the office that there are no regular work hours for colored laborers. That they are compelled to work overtime and at night without additional compensation. That there are men who issue new orders almost every night in violation of the secretary's orders. There are some men more badly treated than others and are told that they must work full time during the month of July, August and September in violation of Executive order of June 8th. The Bee has sufficient confidence in Secretary Ballenger to know that it is only necessary to call his attention to those impostors upon his colored employees. The Interior Department is not the only department under the Government in which complaints are made concerning colored employees. The Bee believes that the heads of every department give their undersroffers too much authority. The sudden elevation of a white man from a laborers job to a boss job causes him to lose his head. It is dangerous some time to suddenly elevate a poor white man or an ignorant colored man. The Bee hopes that Secretary Ballenger will establish an immediate investigation and correct these wrongs. JACK JOHNSON. If the press dispatches are true, Mr. Jack Johnson is wasting his money in automobiles and arrests for fast driving. Aside from his puglistic reputation he is gaining a reputation for violating the law. Mr. Jack Johnson ought to know, if he doesn't that financial successes very seldom come to a man in life but once. When the world base ball championship came to a close a few weeks ago and when a division of the spoils was made the more economical of the players decided to dispose of their money in a manner that would bring more to them. But Mr. Johnson, as fast as he earns his money he must blow in for a new automobile or be arrested for fast driving. The Bee throws out this hint to Mr. Johnson in the hope that he will profit by it. Mr. Johnson will not be without friends so long as he has plenty of money, but the moment he is without money he will be minus of friends. It is your friends Mr. Johnson who tell you of your faults and your enemies are those who are always willing and ready to eat you up. THE CLANSMAN Whenever the Clansman has appeared the colored people have made a great to do about it. From The Bee's standpoint it sees nothing in the play that the colored people should go frantic over. The play is going to Boston and The Bee hopes that the Massachusetts colored citizens will attend the play if they so desire and if they don't want to attend it stay away. The more fuss you kick up about the play the more you advertise it. It will die a natural death if you will permit it to run. A GREAT BOOK A great book is in preparation published in the interest of the colored Americans,by Mr.W.N. Hartshorn of Boston, Mass. From the standpoint of The Bee it will be the greatest work of its kind ever published. Dr. Booker T. Washington will have something to say about this book. RECORD BREAKER Three hundred, new subscribers were added to the subscription books of The Bee last month and four thousand copies over the regular number were printed. Men if you want a live, wide-awake paper read The Bee. MISSIONARY MAXFIELD SPEAKS. He Gives Some Remarkable Statistics. Good Advice to the Young Colored American. The Christian Endeavor meeting held in the Third Baptist Church last Sunday evening was largely attended. The singing and the many instrumental selections added greatly to the occasion. The pastor, Rev. James II. Lee, delivered a short address, and he was followed by Mr. Miles C.Maxfield, the coming missionary, who delivered the principal address. The subject of Mr. Maxfield's address was mission work in the District of Columbia. Among other things he said, in part, that the white population in this city was 241,920, and 97,483 colored people. From both races Mr. Maxfield gave the number of arrests and the crimes committed by both. His picture of the crimes committed by both races was lamentable. He thought that there was a great deal of missionary work that was neglected in this city among all classes of people, but particularly the colored people. He claimed that illiteracy was at its highest point in 1870, when it was 83 per cent; and in 1900 it had fallen to 47 per cent. This great educational blessing,said Mr. Maxfield, has come to the colored American race, within thirty years. In speaking of education among the colored people, he said that since 1880 the colored churches have contributed for Negro education S9,549,700; this amount was paid to supplement deficiencies of the State school funds for the colored race. This is an evidence of the interest that our churches manifest in the uplife of the race. "My dear friends," eloquently said the speaker, "we have 23,462 church organizations, and we have erected 23,770 churches, with a seating capacity of 6,800,000. Have we advanced? Are we doing anything? Look if you please at the rapid advenvement we have made since our emancipation. Another remarkable thing is, we have a church membership of 2,673,977, and the value of our church property amounts to $26,626,448.From 1777 to 1798 there was a zeal for Bible distribution and Home Mission work began to manifest itself in the northern colonies. A petition to Congress for Bibles received favorable action, and 20,000 were ordered from Holland. In 1816 the American Bible Society was organized, and its revenue amounted to $37,000, and it was increased to $450,000 for Bible distribution in 1902. This good work went on, and the light and truth began to show themselves for Home Missions. "The American Tract Society soon followed. This society was organized in 1825, and in seventy-five years it has issued nearly 8,500 separate books and tracts, two thousand of which were bound volumes. Thirty-two million copies have been circulated, with a total of moral and religious truth amounting to two hundred and sixty millions. The American Sunday School Union took its present form in 1824. At that time there were only one hundred Sunday Schools in the United tates. Sunday Schools are on the increase; theChristian Churches are doing much good for the lowly. Nearly eighty years of work has opened more than one hundred thousand Sunday Schools, with six thousand teachers and five million scholars. "In the year 1800 our entire population numbered about four million, and seven hundred thousand of these were colored slaves. "Within thirty years thereafter six million emigrants had settled in the country, and from 1865 to 1885 there were seven million more foreigners added, some being of the roughest kind, which demanded earnest mission workers. "There are one hundred and sixty cities in the United States each having a population of twenty-five thousand, making a total of twenty million people, nearly one-fourth of our entire population." After reviewing other incidents in connection with Home Mission wore Mr. Maxfield concluded by paying a fine tribute to the work of the Christian Churches and the work of the many Christian Endeavor Societies. We should not be too proud to enter the alleys and the lowly huts and try to save fallen humanity. It is our duty as Christians to see to it that those who are going astray be brought into the Sunday School. THE SO-CALLED "SPANISH SWINDLE." The Department of State, at Washington, has received a report from the American Consul-General at Barcelona, Spain, in regard to the band of swindlers operating in various towns and cities in Spain, who make a practice of writing to persons in the United States respecting the imprisonment of relatives and the guardianship of a child. The Consul-General states that the alleged prisoner generally describes himself as a political prisoner from Cuba; he is at the point of death and has but one ficend—the prison priest—through whose good offices he is enabled to smuggle an occasional letter out of the prison fort. The prisoner, is rich. He has a fortune in cash on deposit in the United States, but the certificate of deposit is concealed in a secret receptacle of his valise; the valise itself has been taken possession of by the court at Carthagena, which tried and condemned him, and will be held until the prisoner or his representative has satisfied the costs of the trial. The prisoner has an only daughter; dying in his prison, his sole thought is of this beloved offspring. He has no friend or relative in Spain to whose care he can commit her. In this emergency his thoughts turn to the distant relative in the United States whom he has never seen and of whom he knows only through hearsay or the family tree. Will the distant relative assume the guardainship of the darling daughter, and the darling daughter's fortune of about $30,000? If the distant relative, accepts the trust one-fourth of the prisoner's entire fortune will be the material reward. The good priest will go at once to the United States and take the darling daughter with him. There is but one condition: the ready money which the prisoner brought with him to Spain has been exhausted; the distant relative is therefore requested to send enough to liberate the valise containing the secret receptacle and the certificate of deposit. This money is to be sent to the good priest at an address indicated, and, having received it, the good priest will at once secure the valise and start for America, the "land of the free and the home of the brave," with the darling daughter. The above is generally the first letter of the series. It is quickly followed by another in which the prisoner pathetically states that his strength is rapidly failing and the end is near. He beseeches his dear distant relative to assume the trust and be a loving father to the darling daughter. The third letter is from the good priest himself, who in brief, touching terms, and hopelessly bad Eriglish, announces the death of the unhappy prisoner; the good priest adds that the darling daughter is under his care. He is ready to put his promise into execution and start for the United States as soon as he shall have received the necessary funds from the distant relative. The good priest frequently incloses with his letter a bogus newspaper clipping announcing the death in prison at Barcelona of the famous Cuban patriot (sometimes called Augustin Lafiente) the newspaper notice also speaks cunningly of the confiscated valise and the darling daughter. sented in such a plansible way that almost any unsuspecting "distant relative" of European extraction would be more or less deceived by the glad prospect of falling heir to the agreeable custody of a darling daughter with a big fortune, and a one-fourth interest therein as an additional recompense. Naturally the first impulse of the distant relative is to ask a lawyer or a judge or some authority what course he ought to pursue in the premises, but as he thinks of doing this his attention is taken by the warning in the prisoner's letter beseeching him not to mention the matter to any living soul lest the secret of the valise and the hidden receptacle be indiscreetly betrayed. The valise, after all, with its concealed certificate of deposit, is the key to the situation and possession must be taken of it before anything can be done or said. This (so cunningly set forth by the prisoner) is very evident to the distant relative, and so he quite frequently preserves the secret intact, and instead of consulting a lawyer or writing to the American Consul-General at Barcelona he quietly sends a draft for the sum demanded to the good priest and awaits results. Of course he waits in vain, and the poor, dead prisoner and the good priest and the darling daughter in the course of time pass out his life forever, leaving him only an uncomfortable memory of the money he so cheerfully contributed to the confidence game. For nearly twenty years these same knaves have been practicing their swindle, and it is needless to suggest that they are very carefully organized; they have confederates not only in the United States but in most other countries. The confederates in question select a man and find out all they can about him; they get hold of family names, family origin, and family characteristics. This information is transmitted to the rascals in Spain, and letters are at once written to the prospective victim. The scheme is presented and developed in a very plausible way and many of our fellow-countrymen have "bitten" promptly and cheerfully.. Under the Spanish laws a felony must be consumed before the police may act, and a mere attempt to obtain money by false pretenses does not appear to warrant arrest. The money must be actually paid over and the prosecuting witness must be present in propria persona to testify; otherwise prosecution would be useless. Recently the letters written to the distant relative have varied somewhat from the original; the political prisoner having become a noted Russian banker who absconded, leaving a deficit of some millions of rubles, killed in a quarrel in England another Russian, and finally took refuge in Spain, where he was apprehended and charged with manslaughter. This change of character, however, is immaterial, and in the future more new characters will probably be introduced by the gang. The scheme is the same, and the public is warned to place no credence in such or similar letters. Every effort has been made by the Department of State and its representatives in Spain to unmask these scoundels and bring them to justice, and the Spanish authorities have also been active and several members of the gang have been apprehended and held for trial, but so far no convictions have resulted, owing probably to the peculiarity of the Spanish law referred to in the report of the Consul-General at Barcelona. Department of State, Washington, D. C. October, 1909. It will be remembered that some time ago an effort was made by the white Presbyterian Churches to separate the whites from the blacks. Although the white Presbyterians, like other white denominations, would prefer to have the colored communicants separate and distinct from theirs. The colored Presbyterians knowing that caste prejudice exists continue to play second fiddle to these white people. was duly ratified by the Synod of the Afro-American Presbyterian Church. 4—That for eleven years the Synod of the Afro-American Presbyterian Church has held its regular annual meetings. 5—That the Afro-American Presbyterian Church, thus organized, commends itself to the colored race and appeals to its pride and self-respect, thus commanding the approval of the race and insuring its moral and financial support to a degree not to be expected or hoped for under conditions that have prevailed during the last forty years or more. 6-That the seed which has been so faithfully sown by our white church organizations, cannot bear fruit more effectually than by developing a separate and distinct church organization that self-respecting colored Presbyterians can call their own. 7-That the mission of the colored Presbyterian ministry is of necessity primarily to the colored people, and any method of work that seeks to foster racial amalgamation is, to say the least, abnormal, and must inevitably fail. 10-That the one great need of the hour now is, so far as colored Presbyterians are concerned, is a general union of forces. 12-That it is the sacred mission of the Afro-American Presbyterian Church, with the Divine guidance, and with the help and cooperation of all good Presbyterians, North and South, to bring together into one grand body all these divergent elements of colored Presbyterians, and constitute a colored Presbyterian General Assembly.

MASONIC NOTES The jewel contest among the several lodges has been going on for the past week. Only three lodges entered the contest this year, namely: Social, No.1; Eureka, No.5, and Prince Hall, No.14. The judges will submit their report to the Grand Lodge in December, and the jewel will be awarded to the successful lodge. The Grand Commandery closed its 38th Annual Conclave on Thursday night.Reports from the several committees were submitted, also the special committee on the Grand Commander's address. The report was adopted, except one item—there was quite a large number of the members of the Grand Commandery—also Emt. Sir Kt. Thomas H. Smith and staff of the Grand Commandery of Maryland, who came over to assist in the installing the officers of the Grand Commandery elect after the routine business. The retiring Grand Commander Emt. Sir Wm. G Smith assisted by Sir Thomas H. Smith and J. W. Freeman installed the grand officers as follows: Emt. Sir John P. Turner, Gr. C.; Sir J. P. Davis, V. Z. D. G. C.; Sir W. W. Walker, Gr. Generalisimo; Sir P. H. Simmons, Gr. Capt-Gen'l; Sir W. H. Severson, Gr. Prelate; Sir Brooks Burr, Gr. Treas.; Sir Jas. O. Bampfield, Gr. Rec.; Sir S S. Thompson, Gr. Sr. W.; Sir S. C.

After conclave was closed the Sir Kts. repaired to the Hotel Quistic, on Pa. Avenue, N. W., where an elaborate spread was enjoyed by all. Remarks were made by Sirs J. P. Turner, L. C. Bailey, J. W. Freeman (the kid), and others. And at a late hour, all departed for their homes. Sir Kt. J. P. Turner has named the several committees, the roster will soon be out. Semi-annual conclave will be held in April, 1910. It was a thing of beauty and joy that met the gaze of the reporter as he passed through the portals of the great audience room of King Solomon and beheld the beautiful Honored Maid and princesses that surrounded King Solomon. Sir Kt. S. S. Thompson and the Mother Queen Honor Lady Beatrice Richardson seated on the throne to receive the Queen of Mocha, and her train had come to hear the wisdom of Solomon, who too much credit cannot be given to the corps of officers who assisted in the reception, for, it was sublime. There 12 candidates who entered the chair of Marion on Friday night. And the work was perfect, there were many Past Mother Queens, and Princess Pocsint Hon. Lady. Fannie L. Cox presided at the piano and rendered sweet music. Queen Esther worked the Eastern Star on Thursday on 8 candidates. Grand Chapter held quarterly session on Thursday night. THE SUNDAY SHOWS. "The Christian people in this city should see to it that a law is passed prohibiting the moving picture shows from showing on the Sabbath. Every pulpit in the city should preach against them." "The Bee," October 15th. At the head of this great nation, the church bells dare not ring, Some day they'll put a muzzle on folks who shout and sing; We have all kinds of noises throughout the live-long year, But the sweet ringing church bells strike terror to the ear. A glorious example for Washington to show! The church pews, are half empty, where do the people go? Where are the men and women, the little girls and boys? Who love a quiet Sabbath and hate Do they stay at home to slumber, to rest and take their ease? Or in some quiet house? Or if some quiet haven to dream of love and peace? Just watch those dens of Satan, those moving pictures shows That desecrate the Sabbath, they are the Christians' foes. A shame on this great city, this grand old nation's home To seek as a diversion, the sins of ancient Rome; To desecrate the Sabbath in this enlightened age When there's six days for vaudeville, theatres and the stage No wonder that the church bells strike terror to the ear, They make the guilty conscience, and fill the heart with fear; Those gilded dens of Satan would lose some of their charms If folks could hear the church bells like judgment's dread alarms. The powerful press, the pulpit, the churches, one and all, Should all unite their voices in one great clarion call Against this monstrous outrage in this, our nation's home Lest some day we grow bolder and fall like ancient Rome. —James Conway Jackson. 2501 14th St., N.

MASS MEETING OF MISSIONARY SOCIETIES. The United Missionary Societies of the A. M. E. Church, of the District of Colubnia, held a mass, meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The following program embraced the most prominent features of the meeting. An opening hymn by the congregation, "O for a heart to praise my God," page 226 of the Methodist hymnal. Prayer, Mrs. Julia Coston: Scripture reading, Mrs. C. H. Young. Chorus, "O Friend without Jesus," by the pastors' wives. An address by Mrs. R. L. Pendleton. Music selected, Mrs. J. C. Dancy-Recitation, "selected," Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford.

After the rendition of this programme, a collection was "lifted" for the benefit of the "Missionary Fund." Addresses limited to five minutes were made by Mrs. M. F. Handy, Mrs. D. G. Hill and Mrs. E. L. Steptean. This meeting was most liberally attended, and closed with the hymn "God Be with You till we Meet Again," and benediction by the Rev I. N. Ross, pastor in charge. This successful meeting was under the management of the following named ladies: President, Mrs. M. C. Beckett; vice president, Mrs. M. Ross; secretary, Mrs. K. B. Hurst; treasurer, Mrs. M. E. Arnold; chairman printing committee, Mrs. Julia W. Hamilton. Mr. Isaiah Mitchell, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Denver, Col., has returned to the city probably to remain. Mr. Mitchell left this city for the West some thirty years ago, and took up his home in the West, where he accumulated considerable property. He is well known among his Washington friends who were more than pleased to welcome him back to the land of his boyhood and palmy days when his name was a household word. When Mr. Mitchell left Denver, Col., last Sunday he experienced a stormy time. He purchased a first-class ticket from Denver, Col. to this city and all went well until he reached Chicago, Ill., to board a train for this city. A colored porter endeavored to force him into a second-class coach very soon after he left Chicago, but when the colored porter found out that Mr. Mitchell knew that he had Western blood in his veins, he was let alone for a time and told his tale of woe to the white conductor, who ventured to some authority by requesting Mr. Mitchell to go into a second-class coach. He also was given a severe rebuke by Mr. Mitchell and defied the conductor to weigh the weight of his hand upon him. When this conductor was told what the consequences would be if he (Mitchell) was disturbed there was no further trouble and Mr. Mitchell arrived in this city Monday night safe and sound and greeted his wife and children who are the pride of his home. Former Washington Boy Forging to The Front Out West. A special from Seattle, Wash., to the Tacoma Daily Ledger, of the same State has the following concerning Roger Watts, a former Washington, D. C. boy who went West two years ago: Visitors equal in number to the population of Tacoma, have been instructed and entertained by the lectures on Tacoma and Pierce County and Mt. Tacoma for the past four and a half months without a moment's let up. Let it be said to the lasting credit of Commissioner Macleay, Booster C. H. Purdy, Roger W. Watts, James R. Williams and other able assistants that never before have so many people been interested in and attracted to Tacoma. The Pierce County and Tacoma booth and lecture hall at the A. Y. P. have been a center of attraction, conspicious as a generator of enthusiasm, which ran at white heat from opening day till the gates swung on their ninges tonight to close the fair. The lectures were delivered by Commissioner Macleay and Roger W. Watts with no less signal success. SUPREME COURT DENIES PETITION IN CASE OF JAMES F. PHIPP. The Supreme Court of the United States today denied a petition for a rehearing of the contempt case against Sheriff James F. Phipp, Deputy Jeremiah Gibson, and Williams, Nolan, Padgett, and Mayse, and directed that these men be brought to Washington for sentence on November 15. The six men were found guilty of contempt of the Supreme Court in conspiring to lynch Ed Johnson, a Negro, at Chattanooga, Tenn., March 19, 1906. They were adjudged guilty on the last day of the 1908 term of the Supreme Court, but were granted a stay pending petition for rehearing. At the time Johnson was lynched an appeal of his case was pending. The date of his execution had been set, but the Supreme Court granted him a stay of ten days. On the night before the date originally set for the hanging, a mob of more than 100 men broke into the jail, took the Negro to the bridge over the Tennessee River, hanged him to a girder, and riddled his body with bullets. The Department of Justice immediately investigated the lynching, and as a result the sheriff, his deputy and twenty-six alleged members of the mob were arrested on Federal warrants The Supreme Court had a commissioner to take testimony, and upon his report all were dismissed except the sheriff, his deputy, and the four others named. They have been cut on bail ever since. MAJOR LYNCH WRITES REGARDING HIS WALKING TEST Maj. John R. Lynch, paymaster in the U. S. A., and now on duty in San Francisco, writing to his sister, states he took the fifty-mile walking test the second week in September. On the first day he walked 18 miles, MAJOR JOHN R. LYNCH, Walks the Ffty Miles Test. on the second 20 miles, leaving but 12 miles to be walked on the third and last day, which he did, and had one hour and twenty minutes to his credit, having walked the fifty miles in 18 hours and forty minutes. Major Lynch stated also that the surgeons who examined him before and after the test could find no serious disability. The major is much pleased over his success.

He went Into a store and picked out two, one of which was a cheap Imita- tion affair, and the other a fine ex- pensive one. | Taking them to his office before go- ing home, he changed the price marks, the expensive tag on the cheap boa and vice versa. His wife examined them for a long time very seriously indeed, and ther sald, “Now, dear, the expensive boa is a beauty, and it fs really very good fof you to allow me my choice. Some women would take it without a word; but really I don’t think we can af ford the more costly one, and be aides, dear, I think the cheap one the more stylish too. Why, Cros, dear what's the matter? Are you Ill?” But dear old Cros had made hi getaway Into the night where he coulc Kick himself as hard as he felt he de served.

The latter had been a Unitarian and hig shift caused a sensation. The Episcopatians have saints assigned to the various days In the year. When an Episcopalian minister writes a let- ter on any day for which there iga saint, he always writes the name of the saint at the close of the letter In- stead of the date. Bishop Huntington learned all these things quickly, and began to practise them at once. The first time he had occasion to write te hig old friend, Dr. Hale, after Joining the church, he placed “St. Michael's Day” after his signature. A reply from the doctor came, and after his name he had written In a full, round hand, “Wash day.”—Christlan Regis- tow . uiws Included. = Bach—Ever tell a le?

DETROIT'S GOOSE MARKET Where Housewives Buy Living Birds for More Than One Reason. Far up Hastings street, where long rows of poplar trees mark the approach to the Polish settlement, says the Detroit Free Press, is a market the like of which is not to be found elsewhere in the city. On a vacant corner, surrounded by a high fence, an enterprising east slider has established a goose and duck market that attracts patrons from far and near. The women of the neighborhood are a trifle particular as to how they buy their poultry. The guaranty of freshness furnished by the fact that a goose or duck is alive is not of so much consequence as the knowledge that feathers, which might otherwise be wasted, can be transferred to the ticks so much in vogue in this quarter. Thus it comes that on market day, which is almost any morning of the week, the housewife with a longing for poultry journeys here, enters the inclusure, selects the fowl that strikes her fancy or appeals to her mature judgment, and stands by, while the proprietor, with a long pole on the end of which a wire hook is fastened, proceeds to separate the bird in question from the rest of the flock and deftly slip the hook about its neck, making it a captive. There is much dickering. Often the first choice does not prove satisfactory and a second and third bird is snared and inspected carefully to see that the feathers are thick enough and that it is sufficiently plump. When all the preliminaries have been attended to the purchaser pays over the price, grabs the bird firmly by the legs, with its head handing down, or tucks it snugly under her arm and waddles off home, the envy of her neighbors, who may not be able to indulge in such luxury. MODEL. PENNSYLVANIA ROAD Hummelstown Pike so Constructed That It Withstands Traffic Wear and Weather. A model road is the Hummelstown plke, near Harrisburg. It is made of a mixture of water gas tar, cement, liquid asphaltum, road oil, carbolic disinfecting powder, sulphate of copper, and oil of wintergreen The sulphate of copper is used to prevent the oils from becoming ignited, and the wintergreen counteracts the odor of the others. There is nothing disagreeable about the small. A curious effect of the mixture is its disinfecting power. During the past year there was not a single contagious disease in that section. The cost of applying the mixture is $5\frac{1}{2}$ cents a square yard. The cement holds the dirt together like stone, and the oils make it waterproof, so that it really sheds water. The road is never muddy, and, unlike a tar road, does not become slippery in winter time. Frost has no effect on it at all, as the mixture will not freeze. The cost of applying is very small, as it is sprinkled on like water. That the method and the mixture is a perfect success has been shown this summer. Despite the heavy automobile and wagon traffic, the road is perfectly smooth and very hard, and it has met the test in every way. Washington Herald. DIGNIFIED EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN.
