VOL.XXX NO27 Judge Kimball Reversed COURT OF APPEALS SUSTAINS ATTORNEY JONES AND CLINKSCALES. THE KIMBALL-TILLMAN VAGRANCY CASE UPSET. In the Police Court some weeks ago Attorneys Thomas L. Jones and Marion T. Clinkscales defended a man by the name of Jerry Fleming, charged with vagrancy. He was convicted the case to the Court of Appeals on a writ of error, stating that the plaintiff in error was tried and convicted in the Police Court, March 30, 1909, upon an information charging him with being a vagrant, and the information set forth that plaintiff in error. "On the 3rd" day of March in the year nineteen hundred and nine, at and within the District of Columbia, was then and there, and has been ever since that day, and still is a vagrant, to wit; an idle person; a person without visible means of support; a person repeatedly in and about the streets, avenues, alleys, roads and highways, and leading an idle and immoral life, found repeatedly in and around tippling houses on said streets and avenues, contrary to and in violation of an act for the preservation of the public peace and the protection of the property in the District of Columbia approved July 8th, 1898, amended March 3rd, 1909, and constituting a law of said District (Rec. 1-2.) The District of Columbia, at the trial of the case, produced three witnesses to maintain the issues on its part joined. The first witness (George Wilson) testified that on the evening of March 6, 1909, about 9 o'clock p.m., defendant followed him from Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue to an alley at Third Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, and as he went into the alley to get his horse from the stable he left the defendant and another man standing at the mouth of the alley, and when he came out, defendant and the other man followed him (witness) from the alley to Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, that defendant hissed at him on the way. On arriving there wittness asked defendant what he wanted; defendant replied by asking witness if he wanted to do business and invited him into a lumber yard. Witness then got off his carriage and chased defendant until he was arrested. Witness had only seen defendant once or twice before on the avenue, had no knowledge where he worked or what witness for the District (William Main) testified substantially to the same effect as Wilson, excepting that when Wilson came out of the alley with their horse and carriage the defendant with another light colored man hallowed, "Hello, Blonnie," and "Oh, you kid, and wistled at them. Witness did not know the defendant, had never seen him before and knew nothing of the defendant, except what occurred that night. The last witness was Officer J. H. Lee, who said he found the two witnesses, Wilson and Main, chasing defendant, that defendant ran into his arms and that he had never seen defendant until he arrested him. (Rec., pp. 2-3) This was all the testimony offered by the District. Thereupon counsel for defendant moved the court to discharge the defendant, first, because of the insufficiency of evidence to sustain the charge as set forth in the information, and, second, because the only evidence offered against defendant in support of any of the several distinct charges of vagrancy as set forth in the information was the testimony of the two witnesses, which said witnesses only testified to one act, or attempted act, neither of which constituted the charge of vagrancy under the law covering such offenses in the District of Columbia. The court overruled said motion and exceptions were noted. (Rec., p. 3.) The defendant in order to maintain the issue on his part joined, produced three witnesses with himself. The first witness (Frank Dunnington) testified that he had been for several years well acquainted with the de- fendant; that defendant was at the time and had been for more than two years employed at No. 1105 K Street, northwest; he had never heard of defendant being arrested before; that on March 6, 1909, he met defendant at Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue; he did not remember seeing any of the witnesses who testified against defendant on the evening in question; that he and defendant did not follow two men down to Third Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, nor was it true that he or the defendant on the evening aforesaid hallowed, "Hello, Blonnie," or "Oh, you Kid," and it is not true that defendant asked said witnesses if they did not want to do, business or make any other remark to them in his presence; that he and defendant separated at Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue about 9.15 p. m., and he never saw defendant any more until the next day in court. The next witness (Mary R..Fleming) testified that defendant lived in Anacostia, had a good home, is 21 years of age, never arrested before and had been employed as a cook in a boarding house on K-Street, northwest, for two years, did not drink or loiter around, but was a model boy and was her son. (Rec., pp. 3-4.) The defendant in his own behalf testified that on the evening of March 6, 1909, he left his place of employment about 8.30 p. m., and went down to Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, northwest, where he met Frank Dunnington by engagement, that he and said Dunnington proceeded up Pennsylvania Avenue to Ninth Street, where they stood and talked for a while and then separated. After leaving Dunnington and while standing near the Bijou Theatre, two white men approached him and asked what he was standing there for, defendant informed them that they had nothing to do with him, and one word brought on another. One of the men left the carriage and chased him with a whip until he ran into the arms of a policeman, who placed him under arrest. Defendant denied he followed the witness for the prosecution up and down Pennsylvania Avenue, and denied using the words, "Hello Blonnie," or "Oh, you kid," or that he asked them to a lumber pile to do business or any other place. Defendant further testified that he had been employed for two years continuously as cook and received as wages $17 per month. (Rec. p. 4.) This was all the testimony offered and the court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged in the information. Counsel for the defendant moved the court arrest of judgment, and for a new trial upon the following grounds: (a) Because of the judgment of the court was contrary to the law governing the case. (b) Because of the insufficient evidence to sustain the charge of vagrancy as set forth in the information. (c) Because said information is founded upon the act of Congress of July 8, 1898, which act was repealed by the act of Congress of March 3rd, 1909, as far as the law of vagrancy is concerned in the District of Columbia. (d) Because said information does not change any offense, either under the act of March 3, 1909 or under the act of July 8, 1898, and hence the conviction is void. (e) And because the act of March 3, 1909, is unconstitutional and void, in that it deprives the accused of the right of the trial by jury, yet gives the trial judge power and authority to sentence him to imprisonment for a term of one year or require him to give bond for a period of one year for his good behavior. The court overruled this motion and exceptions were noted. Thereupon the defendant was sentenced to give bond in the sum of $300, in default to be committed to the Workhouse for the period of ninety days. (Rec., pp. 4-5.) Recognizance was given in the sum of three hundred dollars in compliance with the rules of the court, and the case is now here for review. (Rec., p. 6.) The principal argument was made by Attorney Jones, who in clean cut WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SAT WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 13. 1909 M. H. PRESIDENT WM. H. TAFT English and legal eloquence convinced the Courts of Appeals that, Judge Kimball and Senator Tillman's vagrace law should not be upheld. It was the unanimous opinion of the Court that proof of one immoral act does not bring one within this provision. Judge Mullowney who is now sittin in the lower court recently vacated by Julge Kimball has dismissed several defendants who have been brought before him under this act. There are several dozen in the Workhouse who have been convicted under this act and will likely sue out a writ of habeaus carpus. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The Action of the Executive Committee Sustained. There was a large meeting of the Negro Business League held in its new headquarters last Monday evening, 11th and You Streets, N. W. President W. Sidney Pittman, in the chair and Attorney Geo. F. Collins correspondent secretary, and Attorney Herman, recording secretary. The first business in order was the reading of the minutes of the September meeting at which time the Executive Committee recommended the dismissal of J. A. Lankford. Mr. W. R. Griffin at this juncture attempted to explain the cause of Mr. Lankford by objecting to the adoption of the minutes in which the report of the Executive Committee was expelling Lankford. Mr. Chase, chairman of the Executive Committee moved their adoption, this motion having been recorded by Attorney T. L. Jones, and the question being put the minutes were adopted without a dissenting vote.Not even did Chief Griffin vote against their adoption. Chief Griffin not being satisfied after the adoption of the minutes made an attempt to reconsider, but the chair ruled him out of order. Mr. Freeman and Dr. Gatchway wanted to know why Mr. Lankford was expected. On a point of order from Attorney Jones the question of expulsion of Lankford was a closed incident. Mr. Lankford not being satisfied, took the floor and appealed to the meeting to hear him. He made many threats, but President Pittman ruled him out of order, and ordered him to desist as he had been expelled. The next business in order was the adoption of the minutes of the October meeting which contained lots of comments. On motion of Mr. Chase, the minutes were adopted less comment. The Executive Committee made a recommendation for the annual banquet, and that it be a stag affair. The committee also recommended the appointment of a committee to manage the banquet. After the collection of dues and the transaction of other minor business the meeting adjourned. PARAGRAPH A hotel for girl students has been opened in Tokio, by the Young Woman's Christian Association. It is said the number of Japanese students are increasing rapidly, but slow progress is being made in breaking down the prejudices against women in business. While there are many women earning their own living, the chief interest of every woman is to get a husband. Possibly the most novel honeymoon on record, was that of Sampson Tillotson, and his bride, of Huntington, W. Va., who enjoyed a ten-day honeymoon in a cave. The two, both of whom are in their teens, eloped because of parental objections. A large number of colored residents of Bennings, D. C., met last night in the Jones' M. E. Church, and after a general discussion, formed a Citizens' Association. The needs of the schools and other desired improvements were discussed. A feature of the evening was the large number of women present, and the lively interest taken by them in the proceedings. Benjamin B. Hampton, of Yonkers, N. Y., editor of Hampton's Magazine, has engaged Commander Peary to write 50,000 words at $1.20 per word on the incidents leading to the discovery of the North Pole. This is said to be a larger sum than Col. Roosevelt is to receive from the Outlook for Narratives of travels in Africa. The National Academy of Sciences will meet at Princeton University, November 16. This meeting will bring together a large number of American scientists. The American Hospital, built and equipped through the generosity of the American colony in Paris, was opened last week in there. The hospital, the need of which has long been felt is beautifully situated at Neuilly, where it is surrounded by spacious grounds. It contains twenty-five beds, many of which have already been endowed. Among those who have contributed are: J. P. Morgan, W. K. Vanderbilt and Miss Helen Gould. John D. Rockefeller's donation of $1,000,000 to fight the dreaded disease, "Hookworm" so prevalent north of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, will mean a great deal toward helping to wage war on the malady. New York is to have another hundred; million dollar bank, to be known as the Mechanics and Metals National. This new banking institution, is a consolidation of the Mechanic's National Bank, founded 100 years are blamed for the explosion. A conservator will be appointed for Mrs. Lucenda Treat Goddard, the seventy-year old bride of Charles R. Goddard, a Yale student, who but re- cently reached his twenty-first birthday. The court said that Mrs. Goddard's changed attitude toward men, and her marriage to a young man and childish caprice, marked ethical insensibility, indicative of mental impairment and diseased. Tatem Parsons, the first engineer of the famous locomotive "John Bull," died in Camden, N. J., November 5th. He was ninety years old. Besides having been the first man to handle the throttle of the famous engine now in the National Museum, he was the oldest locomotive engineer in this country. It was found that the rumor was not true that Col. Roosevelt had lost his life in the wilds of Africa. An interesting article appeared in the Charleston Messenger by Mrs. Namie Blocker, "Let us look after our boys." Among other things she said: "Instead of giving all of your you spend some of them making evenings to men friends, why don't friends with your boy," This is certainly true, so many fathers spend their evenings at clubs, dances or whist parties, while their sons are running wild in the streets, Fathers take heed. ago, and the National Copper Bank, organized about three years ago. The new fourteen-inch gun built by the Midvale Steel Company of Rethlehem, Pa., is now in this city at the navy yard. When it is entirely finished it will be taken to Indian Head, where a test will determine whether it is a better weapon for naval purposes than the present twelve-inch gun. A hundred dollars worth of steel appliances and construction in the new plant of the Corrigan McKinney Co., in the Cuyahoga River bottom was blown up by dynamite; also of the Newburg and Southshore Railroad were wrecked. Labor troubles "PRINCE" HUNLEY Gets $2,000 Reward in the Whitla Kidnapping Case. Cleveland, O., Nov. 8. "Prince" Hunley, superintendent of the service of the Hollenden Hotel, who was awarded $2,000 for his participation in the capture of Billy Whitla's kidnapers, was the most surprised man in Cleveland when the information of his good fortune. reached him. "Prince." whose real name is William H. Hunley, has been employed at the Hollenden continuously for 20 years, and is known by prominent men who have stayed there at various times as the ever-ready, courteous major-domo who attends to the general conduct of the hotel service. Hunley is forty years old. He was born in Springfield, Ohio, and received his education in the public schools of that city. When a youth his father died, leaving his mother and two sisters dependent upon him for support. Goes Up in Service Prince came to Cleveland and obtained a position in the dining room of the Hollenden. In 30 days he was promoted to head waiter, and from that position to superintendent of service. Prince is very modest about his part in the Whitla case for which he will receive the reward. He insists that it was only the result of his presence at a place where he was needed and more of a matter of luck. Hunley said when interview: "When I receive the money I shall invest it, or rather add it to some money which came to me from the estate of Colonel C. P. Barrett. Colonel Barrett lived here at the hotel, and remembered me in his will to the extent of $2,500. Upon the suggestion of some gentlemen who are interested in my welfare. I invested it, and it is to that I shall add the reward money." The evening training classes for ministers and Christian workers have become an interesting feature of the Howard School of Theology. More than fifty students are now enrolled from among the city pastors and active Christian workers. Its continued growth and enlargement are assured. Inquiries may be made of President Thirkield, Dean Clark or Prof. Sterling N. Brown. ATTORNEY FLEMING ELECTED The eyes of the people throughout the country were turned to the city election in Cleveland, Ohio this fall. For nine years Tom L. Johnson, Democrat, has been mayor of Cleveland. His "three cent" street car theory has given him a national reputation. He was four times elected mayor of Cleveland and was up for a fifth term. The Republicans nominated Herman C. Baehr, the present county recorder, and a strong city ticket. According to the new law, all nominations were made at primary elections. In Cleveland there are thirty-two councilmen, six of whom are councilmen-at-large, representing the entire city. At the primaries there were thirty candidates for the six places. Thomas W. Fleming came out fourth. He was elected Tuesday, November second, by a large plurality. Mr. Fleming will be the first Negro to ever have a seat in the Cleveland city council, and the first in the state of Ohio elected councilman-at-large. MR. THOMAS W. FLEMING Thomas W. Fleming was born in Pennsylvania. He came to Cleveland seventeen years ago. He is thirty-five years old. He is an attorney-at law, graduating from the Cleveland Law School Baldwin University, in 1906. Mr. Fleming is vice president and treasurer of the Journal Publishing Company, publishers of The Cleveland Journal. He has taken an active part in politics for a decade. Twice he was appointed a member of the Republican State Executive Committee. Last year he was an alternate to the National Republican Convention in Chicago Mr. Fleming is popular and a good mixer. He will no doubt make a good councilman. DEATH OF MRS. WASHINGTON. Mrs. Henrietta Washington, who died on the 20th, was buried from her late residence, 1214 Tea St., N. W. at 3 o'clock p. m. Thursday, the 4th. the service conducted by Rev. Toliver, pastor of the Liberty Baptist Church, was simple, but solemn and impressive. The deceased had been a constant, Let patient sufferer for twelve years previous, and during this period she was at all times most devotedly and tenderly cared for by Miss Sarah B. Washington, her only surviving child—she was a member of the Liberty Baptist Church, and of the Ladies' Immediate Relief Society. Her sisters and brothers who survive her are, Mrs. Sarah Washington and Mrs. Maria Randolph, of this city, Mrs. Lucy Carter, Boston; Messrs. Robert F. Washington, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and James Washington, Galveston, Texas. The floral tributes (some of which were from New York City) were many and beautiful. The deceased left a large circle of warm hearted friends who deeply sympathize with the family and especially with the daughter, who, for so many years remained with, and in every way showed such affection for and untiring, praise worthy devotion to her afflicted mother. Howard and Lincoln will meet, Thanksgiving day in the annual foot ball battle on Howard University campus. "SPACIALLY JIM." BESSIE MORGAN. German Words by the Composer. JAQUES MENDELSOHN. Allegro.

"Say," whispered the man with the iridescent whiskers and the green handkerchief, leaning over the desk of the man with the bashful bald spot. "I've got a dandy for you to-day. You can use it if you want to. It's nothing to me. I believe when a man's a friend of a man he ought to give the man the benefit of what good ideas come to him from time to time. Live and let live is my motto." "We're not handling mottoes to-day. What is the other thing?" asks the man at the desk, absent-mindedly trying to sharpen his fountain pen. "What is the difference between a policeman who got his appointment through the influence of a brother-in-law who is in cahoots with an alderman and who is detailed to arrest people who have, no vehicle license upon their wagons and carriages, and a civil service clerk whose duties consist in registering the descriptions and numbers of automobiles?". "Why is a policeman who arrests three dozen hoboes less four like a man who happens up an alley and finds a chunk of dynamite behind a handbook shop?" asks the man with the hiatus on his head. "Because he has located hum 32. Good morning." "Very well," hisses the man with the luminous whiskers. "Very well! The answer to mine is that one nabs the tagless and the other tabs the nagless, but I shall give it to some more meritorious literateur." And the door closed, shutting off the breeze. SHOW THEM YOUR TICKETS This Will Surely Relleve the German Railway Guard of His Sadness. Whenever a German railway guard feels lonesome, and does not 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 people rave about sunsets and mountains and old, old masters, but to the German railway guard the world can show nothing more satisfying, more inspiring, than the sight of a railway ticket. Nearly all the German railway officials have this same craving for tickets. If only they get somebody to show them a railway ticket, they are happy. It seemed a harmless weakness of theirs, and B. and I decided that it would be only kind to humor them in it during our stay. Accordingly, when we saw a German railway official standing about, a tempo. Jim! I made up my mind I'd set a tle down. An' take up with him. Witz!

The sight was like a ray of sunshine to him; all his care was immediately forgotten. If we had not a ticket with us at the time, we went and bought one. A mere single third to the next station would gladden him sufficiently in most cases; but if the poor fellow appeared very woe-begone, and as if he wanted more than ordinary cheering up, we got him a second-class return. —Jerome K.

"How—er—that is, I was wondering, my dear, how you found out that the mean thing looked back. Some one tell you?" inquired Mr. Tolker, innocently. And Mrs. Tolker straightway turned the stream of her indignation, seething hot, from Mrs. Gadabout to her "insinuating wretch of a husband," as she fondly termed him, and after the first pyrotechnic outburst steadily refused to speak to the unfortunate man for the rest of the evening.

PINAUD BLDC., NEW YORK SAID TO HAVE RESIGNED POST Report About Ex-Senator Blackburn Recalls Fact That Panama Canal Body May Be Abolished. 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 in a suit with a tie.] 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 Isthmian canal commission. He was conspicuous in the movement for the free collage 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. Isthmlan canal commissionership is considered a pretty good office, as it pays $14,000 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 the 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. The baron comes here from the ambassadorship at Vienna. Artificial ice making in the tropics comes high. Water of 60 degrees or 65 degrees can easily and cheaply be thrown into ice ingots of cooling joy, but when it comes to cooling water of 75 or 80 degrees the difficulty is strangely increased, even to doubling prices.

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

Grundmann of Washington avenue, who was pronounced out of danger from lock-jaw, after suffering for almost three weeks, described how he felt during his illness. "In diagnosing my own symptoms a week after the germs of tetanus had entered my blood, I thought I had the disease, but I was not sore," said Dr. Grundmann. "One day, as I was stopping off a street car, it started permeately and threw me on my knees 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 me further thought. About a week later I found that I had fever and that the muscles of my neck palmed me and were constricted. Next I observed spasmodic jerking of the limbs. These I knew to be premenal- terry symptoms of tetrachia. "I was alarmed, naturally, but thought perhaps I might be mistaken, so I visited a physician and told him how I felt. He did not think seriously of the matter, and I believed I might have been mistaken, but nevertheless I was worried, and when that night the symptoms grew more pronounced and became more perceptible I watched them all the more closely. "That night I get a real smile. I observed a growing rigidity of the muscles of the jaws. It kept on they would become locked beyond all hope of unleashing 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 last we saw that we had the disease going the other way, and we fought it out. "The germs of tautness may be in any manner of dist. If you have a wound in your finger and go out into the garden and sniff it into the fresh earth you stand a chance of getting lookaw."

Two copy per year in advance...$n.00 Three months.....$n.00 Subscription monthly.....$n.00 OPTIMISM VS PESSIMISM Two of the basic principles which govern the success of any undertaking, are: 1st—Optimism. 2nd—Honest men of sound judgment. From the beginning of time the envious, complacent, half-hearted people of the world have resented enthusiasm. Enthusiism is optimism. All that you have, all that you cherish, all that is big and fine and worth while, all that has brought you down from one generation to another was believed in by one set of optimists and achieved by another. A coward cannot conquer anything, because he cannot conquer himself. A doubter cannot help, because he is an enemy to himself, a traitor to his own cause. Nothing that is hard, nothing that bends men's backs and strains their sinews and tears their souls and starves them would ever be brought to pass if the optimists did not have that within them which made them feel that it is worth while to endure and to suffer for the sake of getting to the place and the thing they wanted. Ability does not count; knowledge is useless; experience has no worth without the driving of optimism. It is steam, that makes the wheels go round, it is the sparking plug of the motor that starts things. Some one must think for those who will not and cannot think for themselves. Columbus was an optimist and found America. Optimism and enthusiasm were what freed our race. It is what has created and made such men as Fredrick Douglas, John M. Langston, B. K. Bruce and Booker T. Washington, who have done more for the building up of our race from a business and educational standpoint with no other resources to begin with than optimism. Anything is possible to men who believe that nothing is impossible. They do not always make good; but they make good oftener than the pessimists. Their knowledge is not always right, but many a time the very vehemence of their confidence has carried through undertakings which half-heartedness would have wrecked. They can never see failure, because the golden sun of ambition is shining in their face, blinding their eyes to the impossibilities. They do not heed the warning of discouragement because higher and clearer than the little noises of the little people they hear the call of success. They must be what they are. They are filled with the mightiest message given to man, they have touched with the God-spark that blazes into achievement. Recognizing the above facts the directors of the Lincoln Memorial Building Company invite you to become an optimist as they realize as well as you do, that the residents of the city of Washington are, because of race prejudice deprived of their rights to indulge their taste for the better form of theatrical entertainments, unless willing to submit to indignities too great to bear with patient resignation and that in consequence the youth of the race not infrequently is compelled to seek amusement not conducive to good morals. It is believed by them that a building containing an auditorium for theatrical performances, a lecture hall for educational discourses and social gathering with offices for business purposes, all to be owned, controlled, patronized and tented by the colored race is not only a necessity, but it would afford the thrifty of the race an exceptional opportunity to invest their savings to the very best possible advantage in an enterprise absolutely safe and secure. "Providence furnishes the Negro race the same material as the white race, but expects that we should work them up ourselves." Appreciating the fact of the necessity of an office building and theatre, the Lincoln Memorial Building Company was organized for the purpose of furnishing a place of amusement and at the same time a spacious office building, in which our leading professional and business men could locate their offices. The "Bee" believes it is unnecessary to call your attention to the fact that the gentlemen at the head of the organization are men of high standing in our race. Men who have made a success of their own undertakings, and who can be trusted with the management of the investments of the shareholders. HOWARD UNIEVRSITY LAW SCHOOL It is an open secret that the Law School of Howard University is a part of the University in name only. The President does not think much of the Negro lawyer. There is an element of independence in the lawyer that seemeth very ungodly to theRev. Dr. Thirkield, hence he has but little if any sympathy with Howard Law School and the faculty thereof. Recently it has been insistently circulated that there would be one or two vacancies in the law faculty and the President had his candidates already selected to fill the vacancy or vacancies. Of course this is the President's high prerogative, and doubtless he will use it should the occasion arise;but in the name of fairness and justice,if President Thirkield names men who are already employed by. the Government and throttles the voice of the law alumni, he will raise a storm of protest around his devoted head that will make a Washington storm seem something like the mild zephyrs from an electric fan. - With an alumni covering the country; with men of ability and fame; with men who have given their lives to the actual practice of the law; with men who have clients who have and are trying and winning cases; with men of brains, activity and thought here in Washington and elsewhere, there is no need for Dr. Thirkield selecting as teachers of law men who are already in office, and men who have no experience nor have shown an ability in the field of law. It will pay the President of Howard University to make haste slowly, very slowly, in this matter. SENATOR CULLOM .... Now, here comes Senator Cullom, of Illinois, in a most remarkable interview asking for the elimination of the Southern colored vote from politics with one foot in the grave and the other out, a man who has been appealing to the colored man for his vote tells the American people that they should eliminate the colored man from politics. If he were more manly and had the good sense to reason he would see that the Constitution of the United Staes was enforced. There are just as many intelligent colored men South, if not more, than you will find in the North. The colored man South is doing something for his people in the way of elevating them. Look, if you please, what the colored man South is doing in industrial and commercial lines. In the North the colored man is leading in waiting and catering. The boys make good bell boys. In the South the educated colored man is building homes, establishing banks, conducting farms and doing many other things that will make him a factor. The Bee would ask Senator Cullom to compare his Illinois colored man with the colored man South in commercial lines and decide which is the better. The greatest sin that the colored man South has committed was his fealty to the Republican party. He voted corrupt white men in office to the exclusion of his Democratic neighhe white Republicans filled his por who stood by him. When pockets by fleeing State treasurers. They fled and left the colored man to paddle his own boat. Senator Cullom is acquainted and well versed with the period of reconstruction. He knows what men were benefitted, he knows who held the offices. Senator Cullom is about to die now, and he, no doubt wants a good Southern obituary. He will get it and the good that it will do him God only knows President Taft condemns the disfranchisement of colored Americans. He differs with the Illinois senator. If the Congress of the United States, Senator Cullum, included will do what is right and just all colored Americans will be protected under the Constitution. PRESIDENT TAFT President Taft has been honest and bold in declaring that the many acts of disfranchisement adopted by the several states, unconstitutional. The appointment to office of colored Americans has been an incident so far as President Taft is concerned. He has endeavored to show that the civil and political rights of the colored American are more important to him than office seeking or office holding. The Bee is confident that President Taft is sincere in advocating the defeat of all disfranchising amendments, more so than any President who has occupied the Executive chair. To the suprise of The Bee, the recent fight in Maryland to defeat that infamous amendment, there were some few white and colored Republicans in the upper counties voting in the interest of Democrats, who favored the adoption of that amendent. These Republicans were influenced by money conditions and were willing to sell out their birthright for a few dollars. President Taft on the other hand has never been influenced by any impure motives. He wants colored Americans to improve their condition. He wants them to regain their citizenship which has been outrageously taken from them by the Democratic party in the South. The Bee hopes that the President, in the selection of a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States wil appoint a man who will always vote to uphold the thirteenth Amendment daf raiff 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States. While conditions may look dark for colored Americans The Bee has hopes of a bright future for them. There are white people in this country who think as President Taft thinks. --- FAVORITISM IN OUR If there is anything in Washington of which our folks are proud is it our six companies of colored Hgh School Cadets. Again, when it is remembered that Washington is the only city in the United States where colored boys are permitted to handle arms and carry. sabres, it ought to be a matter of additional pleasure and pride to the colored citizens, of the District. But rumors and whisperings are going the rounds that favoritism is being shown in the appointment of the cadet officers. We are exceedingly sorry to hear these things, and we remind those in charge that they should so conduct everything in connection with the cadet military on such a high and honorable plane that there can be no reasonable cause for the ugly charge of favoritism. If merit is the test for office, let merit, not family name, nor anything else, rob a cadet of the place he has won by scholarship, deportment or competitive examination. Further, if examinations are competitive, there should be no secrecy as to the marks made by each cadet. If examinations are honestly competitive, there should be no signing of the name and rank of the cadet, so that the examiner is aware of whose paper he is marking. If the examinations are really competitive, they should be conducted as all other competitive examinations are conducted, so as to give no occasion for a suspicion of partiality. The Bee does not care to be more definite this week, because all of the facts are not before us. But sufficeth it to say, that we are in possession of enough facts towar n those in charge that they may,soon have another school investigation on hand as to how cadet officers are appointed in the Colored High School. NOW A HAYTIAN GUN-BOAT The Steam Yacht Erl King Becomes La Liberte. The steam yacht Erl King, which was recently purchased from Albert E. Tower of Poughkeepsie for the Haytian Republic and turned over to the Tebo Yacht Basin Company to be converted into a gunboat, yesterday afternoon became La Liberte and the flag of the Black Republic took the place of the Stars and Stripes. The ceremonies were in Tebo's Yacht Basin, foot of Twenty-third Street, Brooklyn, the sponsor being Mme. Sannon, wife of H. Paulius Sannon, the Haytian Minister at Washington. Mr. Shannon made an address on behalf of the Governmen and William H. Downey, general manager of the Tobe company, responded. After a luncheon had been served in the saloon La Liberte was taken out for a trial trip and to have her compass adjusted. Mr. Downey will shortly take the gunboat to Port au Prince to turn her over to her new owners Several Haytian naval representatives were present at the ceremonies. The wooden bulwarks of the Erl King have been armored inside with 32 pound steel plates and magazines have been installed in the lower hold. The armament of the latest addition to the Haytian navy consists of two six pounders, two three pounders, two one pounders and two automatic Colt guns on the bridge.—New York Sun. PROF. JOSEPH'S PUPILS When the shake-up in our schools was over ,this summer, it --- Since that time the Professor has busied himself gathering testimonials from the various schools to which his pupils have gone for higher education. In nearly every case he has been able to receive from those now teaching his former students Greek, good testimonials. From the University of Pennsylvania, the Greek professor write of a student who was at M-Street last year: "Mr. —'s Greek is excellent." It seems that action in putting Professor Joseph summarily out, and that without notice, was rather drastic and very unkind. While the Professor is an aged man and may be a poor disciplinarian, evidence seems to prove that he did good work, and his good work ought to be a strong circumstance in his behalf for kinder treatment. SEEING THE LIGHT. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen an editorial from the Cleveland, O., Leader, which has a caption: "Good news from Mississippi." The editorial portrays the South awakening to a source of duty. The Bee would like to know what old man Vardaman said when he rendered the decision of the highest tribunal in the State of Mississippi, reversing the decision of the lower court giving justice to the colored Americans of the State? Mississippi is one of the uncivilized States in the South. This old state is beginning to see the light. The South will yet see that the colored Americans there deserve some rights that should be respected. This decision coming as it does from the highest court in the State shows that its judges mean to be fair and just toowrd the underlings who are subjected to the whims of a few prejudiced whites. GOOD MANNERS In addressing the Colored Men's Christian Association a few Sundays ago, Senator I. B. Scott of West Virginia, among other things said: "There is just one point I wish to lay stress upon, as your friend, one who is ready to give your race assistance at any time. I am weighing my words carefully, and realize the seriousness of what I say. The young colored men have got to learn to be more polite in street cars. As old as I am I never fail to get up and give a seat to an elderly colored woman, but I have seen young colored men cling to their seats and permit elderly white women to hang on the straps. "It is not sufficient excuse that there are many white men who are not gentlemen enough to give colored ladies seats. Their bad manners will not be accepted by the public opinion as an excuse for colored men to follow their examples. You may mark my words, as one who is in a position to note the trend of public opinion, that unless colored men learn to show more deference to white women on street cars, that you will find separate cars in Washington City for the two races." Senator I. B. Scott, of West Virginia, ought to know, if he does not already, that the better element of colored young men is not responsible for the acts of colored rowdies. There are a number of colored rowdits who enter a car; many of them are under the influence of whiskey, and refuse to act decently, and neither are they manly enough to give their own color a seat. The Bee would ask the distinguished Senator, Why should the decent colored people be "JimCrowed" because a few colored rowdies refuse to give white women a seat? It is,of cousre, embarrassing at time to sit in a car and see not only colored rowdies THE BEE DECLINES. The Bee declines to publish any more school articles of Mr. Wearing at present. There is one in this office already set up, but, it is a question whether it will be published or not. It is a very interesting production and if the editor doesn't change his mind, quite likely the article will appear. Some one has filed Mr. Wearing's letters that have appeared in The Bee with the chief of police, presuming that an order from his chief would tend to intimidate him. Not so, however, Mr. Wearing is a man and no cringer. It is the informer that cringes. MAKING A RECORD. The colored-members of the bar should feel highly elated over their victory in the Court of Appeals. Attorneys Jones and Clinkscales knocked out the Kimball and Tillman vagrancy act, and Attorney Gaskin gave a setback to the Juvenile Court, which was convicting husbands for the non-support of their wives. This last act brought relief to husbands who did not care to support their wives. THE HARVESTIDE. (Written expressly for The Bee.) Italian "sunsets" tint the skies, And through the brown autumnal lies The last request of parting day, Whose feeble tracks soon dint the way. A russet orange dyes the West; And in one broad unbroken crest, The fleecy clouds in outline bold, Bank themselves in mountains of gold. It's nature's best; the East grows grey And dusk flickering, blithe and gay, Doth hustle ere the dark begins, And fastens her with sable pins. Between beams of the harvest moon Reapers labor with merry tune. And garner what they've sown with care From near by meadow ripe and sear. Noctural breezes chill the air; And'cross the deep vermillion, where Faint interceptions of fading light, Break with the mist that feeds the night, An impulse calmer than a hush Steals with a gentle, patient touch: And lulls to rest with pleasant thought, The troubles tired mankind has wrought. Shadows settle with pause About those stout old farm house doors; And summer tales of childish glee Are there rehearsed in joyful spree. They're told no more; the moon's gone down; The whispering brook and neighboring pond Are slumbering; as in vesper dreams The outside world from struggle weans. A little while another change Will make the present look so strange For not a bird, leaf or flower, Stays to sup with the dying hour, A brighter vista lights the path. Fruits of a precious aftermath; And when the sheaves are gathered in Glimpses glisten, our trust's in Him. Oct. 29, 1909. HOTEL MACRO.

HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON In a game replete with sensational plays Howard University defeated Hampton Institute at Hampton on last Friday, the 5th. Despite the fact that all the officials were Hampton men, owing to the inability of the Howard officials to attend, the Howard team clearly demonstrated the superiority over the Hampton team at all stages of the game. Only one touchdown was made, but this does not show Howards strength. The backs, Lerry, Franklin and Gray made good gains through Hampton's line, while the Howard line bravely withstood the attacks of the Hampton team. The final score was, Howard 5, Hampton, o. These same teams will play Saturday, the 20th, on Howard's campus, and a great game may be looked for. Shaw plays Howard on the university campus at 3 o'clock today, and as these teams are evenly matched every lover of the manly game who attends will be richly awarded. MASONIC NOTES The Masonic jurisdiction of the District of Columbia has been visited four times during the past twelve days by the grim monster, Death, taking from the Blue Lodges three members, and from the Adoptive Rite one. The first to depart this life was Sir Kt. James W. Hardy, was stricken in front of No. 1010 7th St., N. W., on Friday evening, October 29, 1909, dying before reaching the hospital. Funeral services were held Oct. 31, at 602 R St., N. W., after which the remains of the deceased was removed to his home, at Brinklyville, N. C. He leaves a brother, Mr. Robert Hardy, of the Treasury Department. Bro. Jas. Hardy was a member of Eureka Lodge, No. 5, St. John's Chapter, No. 7 and Mt. Calvary Commandery. Sir Kt. Andrew W. Peters departed this life Saturday, October 30, at 10.50 p. m., Culpepper, Va.* His remains were brought to this city and buried from his home, No. 18 G St., S. W. He was a member of Social, No. 1, Prince Hall Chapter, No. 5, and Simons Commandery. He was the son of James W. Peters and one of twenty four children, all of whom are dead, except, the following: Mamie, Mrs. West, Mrs. Hartgrove, Paul, Joseph, Henry, Richard and Robert, who mourn his lost. His last words were: "Mother I will soon be there. My health is gone, my work is done and I am ready to go." These were among the last words spoken by the Prince of Politicians, the giant organizer and commander. The Masonic fraternity and citizens of the District of Columbia were, shocked on Sunday morning, October 31, when news flashed through the city and country that the soldier and citizen, Perry H. Carson was dead at his residence, 1134 4th St., N. W. Funeral services were held at the Met. A. M. E. Church, on Wednesday, Nov. 3rd. It is useless for the writer to expatiate on the character of the late Col. P. H. Carson, for the oration, eulogies uttered and offered by the public and press has told the tale, in the most deserved terms. The religious services were conducted by his life-long friend and pastor. Rev. L. M. Beckett, of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, or which he was a member. Invocation by Rev. W. J. Howard, Lesson by Rev. C. H. Young. The text being, "I have fought a good fight, was by Rev. Beckett, in which he said my sermon will be one of the most unique ever preached. "My health is gone, My work is done, And I am ready to go." This is my sermon. Poem, by Rev. Beckett; solo, "I want to go there;" oration, by W. T. Vernon; paper for church, Mr. Jenifer; remarks, Mr. R. R. Horner; remarks and poem, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton and a host of others. Music by St. Paul and Met. A. M. E. Church choirs. The remains were interred in Woodlawn Cemetary by the Masonic fraternity with honors. He was a member of the following orders: John F. Cook Lodge, No. 10, St. John Chapter, No. 7, R. A. M., Mt. Calvary Commandery, No. 4 and Kt. Mecca Temple, No. 10 A. A. O. N. M. S. The craft tenders their sympathy to the families. The funeral of Hon. Lady Agnes Chase, a member of Queen Ester Chapter, No. 1, O. E. S., Zurable Court, No. 1 H. of J. took place from St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sunday and was largely attended. "Rest to her ashes, Peace to her soul." Services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. L. M. Beckett. Papers from the Daughters of Purity, No. 4, and Ladies Aid Society, No. 1 were read telling of good virtues, which she possessed. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS The beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Trammell of Fairmount Heights. The architect was R. Vaughan, and R. W. Gillam was the builder. It is said that this house is one of the finest and best finished houses in Fairmount Heights. There will be many social functions given by Mr. and Mrs. Trammell this winter in their beautiful home to which THE HOME OF THE FAMILY the society of that place will no doubt enjoy. Mr. and Mrs. Trammell gave many social teas in their residence on 12th Street, N. W., before they moved to Fairmount Heights. Their new home is beautifully furnished and the lawn that surrounds the house gives it a most lovely appearance. This is the startling statement made by Marion T. Clinkscales, the well known lawyer, when asked about the professional life. The editor of The Bee asked Mr. Clinkscales to tell him something about the recent victory he and Mr. Jones won in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. "You will have to ask my cilents. I cannot say any more than what has already been said, excepting this. The records will show what work was done and the attorneys who deserve the credit. I have no time for self-laudation. If I deserve any credit for the work, it must come from the great concourse of humanity who know and who see my work. They are the ones to sit in judgment over everything I have done or may do as a lawyer in defending the lives, liberties and properties of my clients." I see you have a good many cases? "Yes. I have a few clients. I am informed that there is ninety million people in the United States, and take me out from them, it leaves 89,999,999. All of these are my clients, and I have to take care of them, look out for and protect their interest before the courts and for my services they must take care of me, feed me, cloth PETER H. HARRIS ATTORNEY M. CLINKSCALES me and pay me sufficient fees to enable me to move along. Of course all of them do not come or send around,but my office is open and services can be had. I was born in adversity, reared in storms of tribulations and if pleading for the lives, liberties and properties of my client I am not sufficiently compensated, I will die a pauper and be gathered unto my fathers." Have you ever been in the government service? "No. I once made application to be appointed to the high, exalted and honorable position as Notary-Public, in and for the District of Columbia, and received as a reply to my application, that there were already in the neighborhood of my office too many and it was the policy of the Department to make no more appointments unless it was absolutely necessary and seeing the door of hope closed against me for that office, I continued rendering service to my clients. The records of my past life already written upon the court records and law books of this country and the records yet to be made, if life to me is longer, shall stand for the world to consider and judge as long as the waters in the rivers run and as long as the grass on earth grows green.

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. B. The building is a large, multi-story structure with a flat roof and a series of windows. It has a large entrance with a large archway and a set of staircases leading up to the entrance. The building is surrounded by a courtyard with a large square area. Proposed Front Elevation LINCOLN MEMORIAL OFFICE AND THEATRE BUILDING WASHINGTON, D. C. paying amusement place in America.

Even that is good enough for most people, but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY will do better than that. It will have offices and stores and lodge rooms, which will earn, on a conservative estimate, at least $23,200 per year. Equal to 5 9-10 per cent per annum. Building Co. WASHINGTON, D. C.

Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is 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 coming $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 $10.60 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.

LICK'S FIRST LOVE AFFAIR Future Millionaire Was Repulsed by Girl's Father Because of His Poverty. There are many stories of the lighter side of finance in which love affairs find a place. Perhaps none of these is more peculiar than the story of James Lick, a name famous all over the world through a monument to his memory; the great Lick observatory, in California. In the financial world the great city of San Francisco is a monument to Lick's luck—he foresaw the possibility of the great city of the Pacific slope, bought the land on which it now stands, and became a millionaire. Before that time the name of Lick was great in the musical world. Lick's pianos—out of which he made the money which he invested in land—were manufactured by him. Put on the poetic side of life—a world apart from such things as plano-making and mud-flatts—the great Lick Mill stands as a monument to Lick's love. In early life James Lick sought the hand of a miller's daughter, but was repelled by the father on the ground that the young tutor did not possess --- This Offer of The Washington Be Will Appeal Especially Women SELF-TIGHTENING SHEARS Come to our office, 1109 Eye Street, "Self-Tightening Shear."

LADY PASSENGER'S She Wanted to Be Sure Just What the Wind Should 'Be It was blowing rather hard, and there was a nasty sea on an hour and a half before the first breakfast bugle. An officer of the ocean liner hurried along the passage between the state rooms, and a timid voice called to him: "Oh, Mr. Officer, please stop." He turned and saw a dear old lady with a wrapper thrown around her, peeping through her half-open door. "Yes, madam," said the officer. "Mr. Officer, please; would you call this a gale?" asked the old lady, anxiously. "Oh! no, madam. There's not the least danger. I assure—" "Well, is it half a gale?" "Not even half a gale, and this is such an excellent sea boat that you needn't worry a bit," explained the officer. "Well, what would you call it, please?" said the lady, steadying herself as the vessel rolled. "Just a fresh nor'west breeze, madam, with a cross sea running. But, really, there's nothing to fear."

H GRAY CENTING THE BLUEFISH Valuable Information from the Wise Skipper for a Party Out Fishing. "Ah!" said the skipper out with a party bluefishing, turning his face to windward as he spoke and at the same time throwing the wheel over and bringing the boat up and putting her off on the other tack, "I smell them!" "You smell them?" said a member of the party in the boat. "Do you mean to tell me you can smell the fish?" "Why, certainly," said the skipper, as he got another little pull on the sheet; "or you can smell where they are, which amounts to the same thing. "You see," the skipper continued, "the bluefish is a voracious feeder—very voracious; he will eat about a million of the little fishes that you find around so plentiful in the water, put there apparently for the bigger fish to feed on, and when he has gorged himself on about a million, more or less, of these little fishes the bluefish will settle down on the bottom and there disgorge them, and this disgorged food, oily, floats up to the surface, and that you can smell, and it means bluefish; and I can smell them now, sure." And so the skipper got an inch more of the sheet and peered ahead and kept her a-going with every inch drawing, just a-humming and a-bolling, keen on the scent. And did the party come up with the bluefish and catch lots of them? A boatload of fish? Keep hauling them in till they all got tired of fishing? W—ell, that—as a once celebrated English writer has so aptly remarked—that is another story; scenting bluefish and catching them being; two quite different things. DRESS SUIT FOR A CHURCH Interesting Information Given by the Groom to the Shrinking Bride. They were on their honeymoon—he, all-important; she, timid and shrinking. He intended that she should miss none of the sights as they rode down Broadway, New York, in an open car one hot night, so he called her attention to various points of interest in a very loud voice and with elaborate gesticulation. His ideas, however, were rather hazy as to location; and she looked in vain, at his solicitation, for the Metropolitan tower clock on the Flatiron building, although she assured him timidly that she had seen it. Then the conductor, at Fourteenth street, volunteered "This is Herald square, where the new Pennsylvania station is to be." After this startling information, given in all seriousness, passengers were even more amazed to hear the bridegroom saying: "Just a minute now and we come to Grace street." "Grace street?" she asked. "What's that?" "Oh, that's a big church, where all the swells go. Here it is now—as the stately outline of the church came in view—and would you believe it? You can't get in without a dress suit?" It was with real regret that an interested listener had to signal for the car to stop. Polishing by Hot Air. The marvels of friction are infinite. The use of the sand blast for polishing metals is quite a recent invention, and now it is followed by that of a blast of simple hot air. It is the velocity that gives the polishing power. The articles to be treated are placed in a basket in a centrifugal machine driven at a very high speed and heated air is blown from a pipe through the basket. A high polish is thus produced very rapidly. Nickel plated articles that have become tarnished are made bright in a few minutes. Wet. metal fresh from the bath needs no preliminary drying, for the current of air dries and polishes at the same moment. It is only necessary to so pack the articles that the air reaches them on all sides. Youth's Companion. An Awkward Compliment. An inspector-general was relating incidents of famous national encampments. "I remember a little Japanese who attended one of our banquets," he said, smiling, "and a queer compliment that he paid to a colonel's wife. I sat between the two and the lady said across me: "Mr. Takashira, you compress the ladies' feet in your country, don't you? "Oh, no, madam; that is a Chinese custom,' said the Japanese. 'We Japanese allow our ladies' feet to grow to their full size. Not that—' "And he bowed and hissed in the polite Japanese way: "Not that they could hope to rival yours, madam!"—Modern Society. Russia Now Has Woman Lawyer. Russia Now Has Woman Lawyer. Dr. Katherine Fleischer has just been admitted to the bar in Russia, and will practice her profession in St. Petersburg. She is the first woman lawyer in the czar's dominions, and she passed the final examinations with high honors. She met with much opposition when she first announced her intention of studying law. Prejudice was strong, even from influential members of her sex. She persisted in her ambition against all obstacles, however, and came out triumphant. It is her hope to fight the legal battles of women, and she seeks them especially as clients. Dr. Fleischer is an ardent suffragette and predicts she will live to see women sitting in the duma. CLOTHES A BUSINESS ASSET Self-Supporting Woman Who Would Succeed Should Be Well Dressed. Any woman who has her way to make in the world, whether in social or business circles, must recognize that dress is one of her chief assets, a writer in the Delineator says. The efficiency of a saleswoman, a stenographer, a teacher—in fact of any woman who works—is judged by her dress. Shabbiness is almost always taken as a sign of ill-success and it is a popular if somewhat fallacious theory that real merit and ability always succeed. Carelessness is quite as blighting to one's prospects as shabbiness. It may not be altogether just or fair, but it is true that wherever you go your social position, your income, success or failure, your ability and character are appraised by the clothes you wear. If I were starting in business—I don't care in what capacity—and had only a very little money to invest, I would put it into clothes—clothes that were suitable, attractive and well made. It is what financiers call "a good risk"—an investment that is almost certain to turn out well. I don't for a moment advocate extravagance in dress except for women of large means. With them extravagance is more than excusable—it is justifiable. It keeps money in circulation that would otherwise be idle. It gives legitimate employment, which is the wisest and most beneficent form of charity to women who need work But for women in moderate circumstances a parsimonious attitude toward dress is a false and often fatal economy. If you want to succeed in anything, look successful, able, competent. Otherwise you can never inspire confidence in others, and to look successful, prosperous, assured, you must be well dressed. SWORDFISH WEATHER VANE Still Pointing to Wind, as It Long Has Done, on Block Island Barn. "There are more hotels at Block Island now than when I was there some years ago, and more people," said a man just back, "but I found at least one familiar object there that pleased my eye, that being an old weather vane. "On the road running to the south from the island's center of population to the remarkable clay bluffs that rise to the height of a hundred feet or more along the island's southern shore there is a barn above whose cupola turns a home-made wooden vane fashioned in the form of a swordfish. The hardy fishermen of Block Island hunt the swordfish, as well as every other sort of fish that finds a home in or that traverses these waters, and here the swordfish weather vane seems not only striking but strikingly appropriate. "The vane is about six feet in length, which to be sure would be small for a swordfish, but which is big for a weather vane; and there it was still, the only swordfish vane I ever saw, and a pleasure it was to see it still there and still turning easily and as ever pointing true to the wind." Better Man of the Two. A pretty, fresh-looking young woman and a dreamy-eyed man got on a street car. Hardly were they seated when a look of intense despair spread over the man's face. "What's the calamity now?" asked his companion pleasantly, but with a trace of alarm in her voice. "My cuff links!" he exclaimed tragically. "One of them is broken and an end is missing. I never can keep my cuff together until we get home. What shall I do?" with a wild accent on the "shall." The woman laughed with relief and answered cheerfully: "Oh, that's easy. Give me what's left of your broken sleeve link." He obeyed. She leaned down, quickly twisted a button from her shoes, hooked it on to the damaged bit of jewelry and passed it, ready for immediate use, to the man with a triumphant "There!" Translated Into English. Every one has heard the story of the Englishman who was told, when asking what was done with all the superfluous fruit grown in California—"We eat what we can and what we can't we can." The joke was told to another Englishman, who received it with a rather sickly smile, and upon his return home gave his own version of it. "Querie people, those Americans," he said. "Peculiar sense of humor. They told me as one of their choice jokes that when asked what they did with their fruit that was left over, they answered that They ate what they could, and what they couldn't they could." A Skeleton Defined. The superintendent was in the habit of dropping in to the different class rooms and demanding a recital of lessons from the pupils. One day her active mind hit upon physiology as the study for examination. But the little girl to whom the first question was put so bewildered the superintendent and made her lose her patience that there were no more questions of a similar nature asked. "Tell me," said the superintendent, "what a skeleton is." The little girl thought for a short time. "A skeleton?" she asked. "A skeleton? Why, a skeleton is a man with his lips out and his outsides off." W. C. MARTIN, ATTORNEY.

On election day, while public attention in many states was centered upon state and local contests for offices and party principles, the highest court in Mississippi rendered a decision which ought not to be overlooked anywhere in America. It shines like a great light where light is much needed. The State Legislature of Mississippi had passed a law establishing county agricultural high schools. These schools, the law declared, were to be for "white youth." No provision was made for the Negro children of Mississippi, though that state is one of the two or three in which the colored population is greater than the white. The Supreme Court of Mississippi, a tribunal composed wholly of Southern Democrats, gentlemen who must feel the full weight of the race, question in their section and their commonwealth, declared this act null and void because it did not give the colored youth of Mississippi such advantages and opportunities as were to be bestowed upon the white boys and girls of the State, at the cost of all taxpayers. It means something when such a blow for equal rights can be struck in Mississippi. It is a sign of progress, in thought and action, which cannot fail to have results of the utmost value to the commonwealth and to the country. There is true Americanism in the decision of the highest tribunal of a State which must meet and overcome difficulties, in dealing with questions involving the color line, which are greater than those which any state in the North can realize and are especially heavy, even for the South DIGNIFIED EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN.
