VOL XXX NO28 DR. SHEPARD'S WORK DR. SHEPARD'S WORK A CHANCE FOR COLORED YOUNG MEN. The National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the colored race located at Durham, North Carolina proposes to erect several large buildings, costing $30,000.00. An experienced builder has been chosen who plans to give the students of the industrial department a chance to learn by practice carpentry, masonary, cement work, plastering, electric wiring, brick laying, plumbing, mural decorating and a chance to earn money for expenses and excess in cash at the same time. The president James E. Shepard wants to give students for the ministry, Y. M. C. A. workers, and other religious work students the first preference, but others may apply, especially those who can pay their own carfare and present the best credentials of character and scholarship and who propose to remain in school long enough to complete a course. No objection will be made to young men already in the ministry or other religious work to pursue an advanced course. It is rare indeed, that so grand an opportunity is given our people. DR. S. G. CORROTHERS STIKES OUT FROM THE SHOULDER A large crowd attended Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday morning for the purpose of hearing Dr.S. G. Corrothers preach upon Sampson. He took his text from Judges 16th chap., 20th verse, "And he woke out of his sleep I said I will go out and shake myself as at other times, and he wished not that the Lord had departed from him." Dr. Corrothers said "The strength of Samson resided in the indwelling spirit of God. And the continuation of this favor was conditioned upon Sampson's obedience to God. Sampson was born to redeem his people. But in order to accomplish the end of our creation we must constantly seek the revelation of the will of God. Sampson's downfall began with the disregard of the advice of his Father. His destruction was accomplished by his union with an ungodly woman. His redemption was accomplished by humility, faith and prayer the only panacea for the affliction and sorrows of the human life. Every Negro who has been favored with an education or position of trust has come to his inheritance through through the sorrow-and sufferings of the past. We are responsible to God for the way we use the talent, the means and prestige that have come to us in the last forty years. The disrespect that is so prevalent in these days among the young fathers parents and the aged is something alarming. The same fate that befall Sampson will befall the Negro of America unless there is a speedy right about face. The acquisition of wealth, the mad rush for society that is so prevalent in these days among the young Negroes of this country is sadly to be regretted. A great many of those Negroes who have acquired wealth and learning have absolutely nothing whatever to do with the unfortunate class of their own people. They think there is no Negro doctor competent to attend their families, no Negro lawyer capable of looking after their legal interests, and no Negro preacher with sufficient character and intellect to preach to them and no Negro newspaper good enough for them to subscribe to and read. These facts within themselves make it evident to every thoughtful man that the Negro without a change cannot stand. The fear of God, as will be seen by the life of Samson, is the beginning of wisdom. And parental reverence and love for one's own nation are the indestructible rocks upon which the individual or nation must be built. The Negro should recognize the spirit of the age. There is no reward for vanity, sham and pretension. The same principles that lifted and made permanent and substantial three thousand years ago are THE BEE WASHINGTON operating today. This generation of Negroes seems to be seeking a rosy path to fame and fortune. They seem to forget that we must travel home to God in the way our fathers trod, and that there is no royal road to greatness. It strikes me that the Negro ministry of America as well as the Negro politicians and other classes need a new vision of their duty. I regret to say that certain influential Negroes who stand next to the money-bags of this country have silenced many of the Negro bishops and ministers who ought to be standing forward pleading for the rights of their people. No Negro can transfer the responsibility which God has placed upon him to his children or to his baby in its mother's arms and hope to meet God in peace. The salvation of this race is very largely with the Methodists and the Baptists ministers and bishops of this country. These two denominations represent ninety-five per cent of all the church-going Negroes in America, and therefore must take the heft of the responsibility in the redemption and uplift of this people. The Presbyterians and Episcopalians and Congregationalists only represent 5 per cent of the church-going element of the race, and they are made up very largely of hypocrites and backsliders who have dropped out of the Methodist and Baptist Churches. Their preachers have largely been fed and clothed by the crumbs that have fallen from the white man's table, and their members spend their money in dress, theatres, and the numerous dance halls. I am of the opinion that they are doing Christianity more damage than they are doing it good. Any class of people who call themselves Christians who spend most of their time in the theatre and on the ballroom floor are not only a curse to the Christian Church, but they are unfit to teach in our public schools, and their lives can only have a destructive effect upon our children." The 58th Memorial and Anniversary Service will be held Sunday, November 21. at 11 a.m. The public is invited. CAPT. OYSTER ASKS PRESIDENT TAFT'S AID A committee of citizens headed by Rev. James L. White called on the President Manday and asked him to send a special message to Congress concerning the money that belongs to the depositors of the defunct Freedmen's Saving Bank. Rev. White was the spokesman, and he spoke as follows: Mr. President. We call to ask you to recommend in your Annual Message two measures, one to reimburse the depositors in the Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company, and the other to provide a home for the aged and infirm colored people. The measure to provide a home for the aged and infirm colored people is to make use of the $230,018.84. It is money which is due and was in the hands of the Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. There were two Commissioners who had charge of two different subjects of the Freedmen's one was Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau which was discontinued in 1872, and the other is Commissioner of the Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company. So that J. Commissioner MacFarland The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale portrait of a man with a beard and a headscarf. The background is black, and the man's face is clearly visible. [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie, facing left, set against a black background with white speckles.] it can be seen that there are two distinct subjects—both having reference to the fund of the Freedmen's. There were 61,131 people who lost money in 1874, when this company failed. There remains still unpaid $1,291,744.50. As these measures have been favorably considered by all parties in previous Congresses, we feel sure that with your recommendation the amount be included in the general bills that these aged people will soon get the relief which they so long have looked for.

The Interdenominational Study Class of the Lutheran Memorial Church held a meeting monday, when The Negro question was discussed. Papers were read by Mrs. Jno. R. Francis and Prof Kelly Miller. The subject of Mrs. Francis paper was The Negro as a citizen." She described briefly his general advancement in industrial and economic lines and emphasized the need of homes and home training for the uplift of the race. Prof. Kelly Miller stated when the Negro was brought here it was for manual and menial work, but since he has been clothed with citizenship he has manifested surprising powers and ability. He ended up by saying, first: The Negro must be educated in the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, second, he must be made a competent companion with the white man. PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE. PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute shows continued progress, according to the laestest report of Booker T. Washington. One indication of its work is its influence upon its neighborhood. It is stated that in Marion County, Ala., where Tuskegee is, the property owned by colored persons has, in twenty years, increased 600 per cent. The need of water has caused the sinking of artesian wells, and two of these supply 235,000 gallons daily. The report declares that this institution is winning the confidence of Southern whites. It declares: "We have never passed through a year at Tuskegee in which we have had so many of the best white people of the South visit the school and inspect its work." That voluntary interest and inspection should certainly keep the institution on its mettle and impress its supporters with the knowledge that it must be judged by its fruits. But the report of progress is at least materially encouraging. The lessons of thrift and industry are plainly applicable to the colored race, without regard to section.—New York Sun. a live paper. Send for The Roe if you want GREAT GAME Howard administered a crushing defeat to Shaw University last Saturday clearly demonstrating her superiority in nearly every department of the game. In the beginning of the game, however, the teams were more evenly matched. Howard soon settled down and kept Shaw at her mercy throughout the game. Saturday's contest, however, barely averted in a forfeiture of the game to Howard. During the first half the ball was punted down the field by Howard and a Shaw player caught the ball, but lost it when tackled by Tyson. Capt. Lawrence of Howard carried the ball over for a touchdown. The opponents kicked on the ground that their man signalled for a fair catch. The decision was given to Howard and the Shaw men quit the field. After considering the matter the Howard manager gave in and the game continued. This act aroused in the Howard men a greater desire to win and each man played his part. In line bucking, in running and skillful defence and all around foot-ball knowledge Howard excelled. Shaw fought hard from start to finish and did not give up until the game was ended. Every man on the Howard team seemed to understand every play that was contemplated and little strength was wasted on this account. The work of the backfield was superb and the making of holes by the line was spectacular while on the defensive nothing passed Howard unnoticed. The clever ends outgeneraled their opponents, followed punts and downed their men. Few Shaw formations were successful because of the work of the line. The team showed occasional flashes. Their handling of punts was poor; team work was lacking and their formations were slow and far from perfect. Joyner, of Shaw did some splendid punting, but was soon outdistanced by "Terrible" Terry, the half-back. Brown, of Howard figured conspicuously in open field running while his men formed almost perfect interference for a distance of 15 or 20 yards. Tyson, on end, played his usual hard game and made many spectacular tackles. Durrah and Whitin in tackles kept with the ball and picked out their man every time. Smith and Bell in guard played hard, consistent football in stopping up holes and blocking plays. Although Thomas in center failed at times to pass the ball to an advantageous position for gunting he was quick and active. The backfield was well nigh invincible. It was composed of men who know football and can play it. Allen, in full, hit the line repeatedly for 4 or 5 yards and also made 3 touchdowns, while Gray, a star, and "Terrible" Terry shot through holes like lightning. The work of "Tab" Howard, Giles and Stratton on end was very effective while "Big" Jack in guard and Beamon in tackle kept up the good work of their predecessors. Franklin and Bruce in the backfield tore off distance just as Allen and Terry. Coach Marshall had a good opportunity to try out many subs.

THE CONUNDRUM MAN ONCE MORE This Time He Has a Fine One About Policeman and Civil Service Clerk. "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 pan. "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 bum 32. Good morning." "Very well," hisses the man with the luminous whiskers. "Very well!

SHOW THEM YOUR TICKETS This Will Surely Relieve 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 the downr An' take up with him. Wits!

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. Jerome, "Diary of a Pilgrimage." How She Knew "I do think," exclaimed Mrs. Tolkier, indignantly, "that Mrs. Gadabout is the most, aggravatingly inquisitive woman, if I must say so, 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, I was wondering, my dear, how you found out that the mean thing looked back. Some one tell you?" inquired Mr. Tolkier, innocently. And Mrs. Tolker straightway turned the stream of her indignation, seething hott, 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.

FIFTH and G Streets N. W. Washington, D. C WORTH ADVERTISING FOR 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 budding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are really spending. Now The Bee is the only Negro publication in this city. It stands without a rival or competitor, and covers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising columns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5,499 Negroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of dollars — will assume that by patronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that such firms desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over three millions of dollars received and spent by the Negroes of Washington. What clothing stores, what furniture stores, what dry goods stores and what other lines of business will now make an effort to divert to themselves these over three millions of dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Bee? Place your advertising in The Bee and watch these 5.499 appreciative Negroes spend their over three millions of dollars with you. Now is the time to advertise in The Bee, the newspaper that goes into every Negro home in Washington. Remember, merchants of Washington, it's what advertising pays you, not what it costs.

West, to the President, was, indeed, a thunderbolt to the people of this city, There is no man in public life more respected and honored. Mr. West is a man above reproach. He is always willing and ready at all times, to give a hearing to the most humble citizen. He has never been too big to throw open his doors to receive those in distress. President Taft would do the community a favor if he would refuse to accept Mr. West's resignation. He has been too valuable a man to lose. He has managed the affairs of our local government in a manner that commends him to the people. His record is one that will stand the light of day. His retirement means that the people loses one of their most honorable men, and a benefactor. Mr. West is a journalist of ability. He is a political prophet and very seldom, if ever, he misses a prediction. He knows men and he is respected by them. Mr. West is a man who doesn't believe that the rich should possess all and the poor nothing. This is only one of his many noble characteristics. The President could not retain a better man in office. But why should The Bee make this plea? He needs no defence. His character and reputation recommended him to the people he has so faithfully served. Mr. West has so conducted himself that entitles him to the respect and confidence of the people. Can the people afford to allow him to resign without a protest to the President. If Mr. West insist on resigning and the President decides to accept his resignation who will the people recommend to succeed him? Mr. West knew no man by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. He appointed more colored men to office than our distinguished Republican commissioner. He had no prejudices; he recognized merit and nothing more. He is always willing and ready to correct an error and the first man to give an accused the benefit of all doubt. The Bee regrets, sincerely, his retirement from the commissionership. Unless his successor is a liberal Democrat, the colored citizens who number ninety thousand will have but little consideration under the new regime. The colored people have been better treated under Mr. West than by any other commissioner. The Bee knows his heart. The Bee knows that he is a man who believes in fair play. There is but one man who will come nearer filling the bill than any other man named among the great list of candidates, and that man is Captain James F. Oyster. No better man as Mr. West's successor can be selected. Will Mr. Taft name him? He will be acceptable to the masses. . He is a noble man, honest and true to the people. He like Caesar's wife above suspicion. If the President does accept the resignation of Mr. West, for God sake Mr. President give the colored people a man in whom they have confidence and respect. Relative to the Republican commissioner, who will he be? There are few who will fill the bill. Mr. Chapin Brown, formerly president of the Bar Association, Col. M. M. Parker, Dr Wm. Trindall, or Wm. Metzertt. Any of the above will give satisfaction. The Bee hopes that the President will not appoint such a white Republican who is afraid to shake a colored citizen's hand. The Bee is of the opinion that the colored citizens would fare better under two Democratic Commissioners. If Captain James F. Oyster and Mr. Charles W. Darr would fill the bill. If we are to judge by the past colored Republicans have even given greater consideration from the Democratic Commissioners. Let it be understood, however, that The Bee and people are for the retention of Mr. West if it is the President's and Mr. West's will. MR. WEST AND MR. MAC- FARLAND The resignations of Mr. West and Mr. Macfarland, as Commissioners of the District of Columbia were not only surprises, but they are to be regretted by the citizens of this city. These commissioners were faithful and honest in the discharge of their duties. They served the people faithfully and it is the duty of the people to show their appreciation of their work before they finally retire from office. Mr. West gives his reason for retiring is to enter the field of journalism. Not a more independent vocation in life can be followed. A journalist is his own boss. He makes and unmakes bosses. Mr. West is a journalist of ability and will no doubt be as successful in this field as he Commissioner of the District of Columbia. It has always been surprising to The Bee, that a man of such independent mind as Mr. West possesses should remain the slave of Uncle Sam so long. Mr. Macfarland is also a journalist. But he prefers not to return to his first love, but to the law. No occupation in the world is greater than that of a lawyer. Both men retire from office without a blemish. Both have the respect and cooperation of the people, and just who their successors will be is a conjecture, but The Bee would be more than pleased to see that honest Roman Captain James F. Oyster as the successor of Mr. West and Mr. Chapin Brown the successor of Mr. Macfarland. Both of these appointments would meet popular approval. TRAINING FOR NEGRO LEAD- Charlotte Daily Observer. Charlotte Daily Observer. The Observer desires to call attention to the appeal, now before the public, of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race at Durham as a worthy object of philanthropy. The advisory committee of the institution, which is composed of some of the most prominent men in the country, recently authorized the beginning of work on three of the main buildings, these to be located at Durham, and the funds now on hand are not adequate for the undertaking. This institution, once under way, promises to accomplish even a greater work for the colored race than Dr. Booker Washington's Tuskegee, for its object is to aim at basic principles in the uplift of the race; not to teach the colored man a trade, but to train and educate the preachers and teachers of the race in order that the colored brother may have intelligent, moral leadership in his struggle to become a good citizen. Dr. James E. Shepard, the president-elect of the institution, and one of the best known leaders of his race in the South, has worked indefatigably for years in this undertak- and has succeeded in interesting men who do things. With some more timely financial aid it would seem that his dream for the betterment of his race is about to be realized. Gen. Julian S. Carr is the treasurer of the building fund. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH. To the Editor of The Bee: I regret taking space in your most enterprising and spicy columns to give vent to my feelings and race pride stimulated by an interview freely given by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, the state that gave to this country the greatest emancipator of the New World, that is, since the death and resurrection of our Saviour. I allude to the Senator's old friend, the Negroes beloved Abraham Lincoln, our martyred ex-President. In this interview the senator approves disfranchising the Negro of the South. Such utterance coming from such a source is sufficient to stimulate the blood of a cold African, much less a patriotic civilized christianized American citizen, made so by the assistance of Senator Cullom at a time when votes were needed to hold up a sinking political ship. Is this true? If not, the senator is yet here to answer for himself. In 1876 the Senator and his friends decreed equal citizenship and universal sufferage for all men, and I am sure he remembers that the Democratic party at the same time accepted the Constitution and amendments The Senator's party nominated Hays and Wheeler for President and Vice President. The Democratie party nominated Tilden and Hendricks for President and Vice President. The Senator remembers that it was a political flood. The old ship began to sink and the Negroes of South Carolina and Louisiana were thrown overboard to save the Senator and his party. But in the Senator's mental weakness he has forgotten that since that time only for the Negro vote the Republican party would have been blotted out and a new party contending with democracy for power. Now, dear Senator, let us reason together on this matter. You see the Negro is no longer deluded and dependent. He at last sees the light and he will arm himself with the sword of peace and battle, like other Americans, for honest treatment and a square deal. He is seeking information. He is beginning to think for himself. He has cut his eye teeth. He wants to know something. He wants to know, first, why the 13th, 14 and 15th amendments were added to our Federal Constitution without clinchers. These amendments stand up all right while the Negro is in the wood pile; but just as soon as he steps out and places his full weight upon one of them it slips out of place and gives way with him, and down in the wood pile he falls again. He wants to know, second, why it is that a "Lily White Republican party" exists in the South, and having for its motto a "hide and seek policy" which says to the Negro, "Stay in the wood pile till election day, then come out and vote the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom, early and often, that some of us may get into office." He wants to know, third, why it is that a little piece of fat political bait is dropped down in the black sea of politics only once every four years with a rubber line tied to draw it back after the inauguration, leaving the poor deluded Negroes in the troubled waters at the tender mercies of alligators and sharks; and he wants to know, fourth, why it was that the flood gates of immigration were thrown open to his labor competitors in all the foreign countries of the world so that they might come over and compete with him right under his own fig tree immediately after his emancipation from bondage The Negro is beginning to think The time is almost at hand when the color of his skin will cease to proclaim the brand of his political manhood. God speed that glorious day Its complete arrival will ring the death knell of many of the trouble which afflict the Negroes of this country; and I thank God for his assistance in this new awakening of new born manhood in our race. L. C. Moore, of Mississippi, 802 F St., N. W. The work has outgrown its former quarters, and today the small, old tenement house has given place to a spacious building of sixteen rooms. In this building, besides providing accommodations for its residents, there are rooms for the teaching of chair cancing, carpentry and shoe repairing, sewing and cooking, four shower baths, a day nursery apartment, a branch public library and reading room and a gymnasium. The work is not endowed. The expenses have increased with its growth. More money is needed for equipment and two hundred and fifty dollars monthly for running expenses, besides a debt of five thousand dollars is due on the building just erected. It is the aim of this Settlement to promote neighborhood and social improvement, to foster cooperation and mutual helpfulness among the people of its vincinity by soliciting all who may be interested in united effort for the common good. If the people of Washington will but rally to the assistance of its workers, the Colored Social Settlement will be of assistance inestimable to the people of Southwest Washington. We are asking former patriots and all charitably disposed people of the District to subscribe one dollar annually for the maintenance of this noble work. There are one hundred thousand colored people in Washington. If one twentieth of that number would contribute but one dollar annually to this Settlement, it would in time become an institution of which the District would be proud. Do not wait for the resident workers to call and request you to subscribe. Send your contribution to the Settlement House, 18 L St., S. W., and thus aid in one of the greatest movements of raising the standard The second case is that of S. M. R. Slade of Work Creek Township, Wake County, who owns a farm of seventy-five acres, worth about $2,500. He was born in Caswell County in 1857. His father, together with the other slaves, were driven off the farm a year after the war and went to Almance County, with nothing, where the whole family toiled hard, working the soil at first with hoes, as they owned no horse. Soon young' Slade decided to own some land, so he bought two and one-half acres for which he paid $56 of the money he had saved. Later he bought four acres more, after making a $256 crop of tobacco the first year on what had been termed, "an old field." He lived in Burlington ten years and sold his six acres for $600. Now he is told that this same track of land is worth at least $7,000. In 1896 he went to Raleigh and paid $265 for seventy-five acres of land. On this farm Slade has prospered. The exhibit from this farm, showing some one hundred and fifty different articles: Cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, grains, vegetables, preserves, pickles, flour, and a whole lot of other things. The second prize of fifty dollars, for the next best display, was awarded him. The third farmer was Levi Minor, who took the first and second ribbons on corn at the Fair. His farm is in Saint Mary's Township, where he owns three hundred acres of land, some fifty acres being under cultivation. Having saved some money about five years ago, he bought a farm for $1,000. On this he paid $600 in three payments of two hundred dollars each. Some time ago he sold $1,080 worth of timber from sixty acres, this amount paying off his indebtedness and leaving him a comfortable balance in cash on hand. The prizes he won on corn shows that he knows how to farm and to farm right. Here are four object lessons; each a success and each a land owner. Is there anything "worth while" in the lives of the above mentioned characters? AT REST. Jno. R.

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 planos—out of which he made the money which he invested in land—were manufactured by him. But on the poetic side of life—a world apart from such things as plano-making and mud-flats—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 suitor did not possess --- PATENT DRAWINGS CRAFTING,DETAILING,TRAC BLUE PRINTING TION A SPECIALTY. 494 Louisiana Ave., N.W. a him. Many years afterwards, when he had become one of the richest men in the states, he erected a large mill and adorned it like a palace. It was built of mahogany and costly woods, and erected solely as a memorial of his youthful attachment. His only pleasure was to contemplate this palatial mill and to gloat over the man who had spurned him for his poverty.—Harry Furniss, in the Strand. LADY PASSENGER'S She Wanted to Be Sure Just What the Wind Should Be Called. 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 norwest breeze, madam, with a cross sea running. But, really, there's nothing to fear."

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, olly, 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-boiling, 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 lazy 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 kissed in the polite Japanese way: "Not that they could hope to rival yours, madam!"—Modern Society. Rusala 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. CLOTHE'S 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 Dellineator 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 "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 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. "Queer 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 igsides out and his outsides off." This is to give notice: That the subscriber of the Dist. of C.

Prince Hall Chapter lead off the grand visitation Monday and was largely attended by the Hon. Ladies and Sir Kts. The scene was a thing of beauty and joy forever, the vast number of beautiful ladies who were arrayed in all of the regalia and garments that make life worth living for. The officers are to be complimented for the perfection of their work. This year all of the elected and appointed officers of the Grand Chapter were there in full force. After the admission of the Grand officers and salutations the following programme was carried out: All Hail the Power of Jesus name. Welcome address, Royal Matron. Selected, Hon. Lady Julia Lady Keclan. Solo, Sir Kt. C. S. Kt. N. E. Weatherless. Solo, Hon Brooks. Instrumental solo, Hon. Lady Sarah Lemos. Remarks, Sir Wormley. Remarks, Dr. W. A. Warfield, Grand Master of Masons. Remarks, Grand Chapter O. E. S. Closing ceremonies, Pringe Hall Chapter. Chorus, God be with you till we meet again. All numbers were beautifully rendered. Examination of the records of the Chapters showed that they were in a flourishing condition. After the visitation a fine menu was served. The grand visitation to the Electa Chapter was made on Thursday night The welcome addresses was made by Royal Matron, Hon. Lady R. A. P. Smith. The following program was executed by Hon. Ladies': Liverpool—Paper. Charity.ftbntbm 1. Nettic Smith—paper, Truth. 2. Solo. 3. Lena Liverpool—paper Charity. 4. Minnie Frazier—solo. 5. Arnold Thomas—paper. 6. Minnie Lewis—paper. All the papers were very fine; those of the Royal Matron, Hon. Lady Smith and Rebecca Taylor, secretary, were commendable and highly appreciated. The visitation was enjoyed by all. The Hon. Ladies and Sir Kts. were splendid in beauty. The Grand Chapter will have its annual sermon preached by the Rev. Ford's Hair Pomade Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merite of preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It becomes the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. JOHN L: KENNY Wines, Liquors, and Cigars Just the place to visit before you take the boat, or after leaving the boat.

We often notice as we go through life, that there seems to be a desire on the part of some men to repeat Roman history in their action and ambitious desire for power to rule; whether they be fitted for the position or not. And are willing to play the part of Brutus who slew Julius Caesar. The time seems to be passing away when merit and merit alone should win. It has been said in days passed and gone that we teach a parrot to talk and men may become to be great Ritualist; but when it comes to knowing law, they know nothing about it. When we have good and competent leaders, we should be satisfied, and let them stay there, two or three years at least. And not remove them, because we have a friend we would like to see there, without first asking ourselves the question, is he duly and truly prepared, worthy and well qualified. We need good men for the position fo leader, and not figure heads. Men who think for themselves and not let others think for them, who can advance something new and not contrary to law, not so much loquacity and hombosity, but sound sense and reason. I say now let well enough alone at this time. And use your own judgment and common sense. Sir Kt. Loyd Monroe met with with a serious accident week before last. He is confined at Garfield Hospital.
