VOL.XXX NO 29 The Republic Of Liberia DINNER TO MINISTER LYONS AND BISHOP SCOTT — ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCIAL EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE COLORED RACE—DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MAKES A GREAT SPEECH—DISTINGUISHED MEN PRESENT—MUSIC AS FOLLOWS. It has been many a year, if ever, since Washington has witnessed a dinner, given by colored men, as brilliant, as notable, and as farreaching in its influence as the dinner given Wednesday evening, November 17th, in honor of Ernest Lyons, United States Minister Plenipotentiary to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church to Africa. Never before, perhaps has there been seated around a banquet board so many representative colored men, men who have national reputations. Practically every walk of life, every profession was represented. The dinner was given in the auditorium of the Masonic Temple on 19th Street. As one entered the banqueting room a scene of bewildering beauty greeted his vision. There hung, in grace- HON. RALPH W. TYLER Auditor for the Navy, the Distinguished Toastmaster. An Adepth In the Introduction of the Guests. ful folds and loops the one star and red, white and blue of the Liberian Republic, and beside it, in a manner to suggest the closeness that should exist between the two countries, the red, white and blue of the United States. And when the orchestra, screened behind the emblems of the great American Republic and the little black republic, and a generous banking of palms and potted plants, played the national air of the American Republic the entire assemblage, typical of the best Negro manhood and progress, catching up the refrain, joined in singing "The Red, White and Blue." And then again, when "Maryland, My Maryland" was played, quickly recalling the recent suffrage fight in that State, and as a compliment to the Marylanders present, the voices of the banqueters arose and swelled harmoniously in the beautiful chorus in a manner to lend additional charm and beauty to the occasion. The long tables, extending the length of the hall, and the head table, presented an inspiring sight. Between the rows of evening attired intelligent, progressive American Negroes as a background, the white clothed banquet tables bearing great vases of immense Chrysanthemums, sprays of smilax, fetchingly arranged, and ladened with all that delights the epicurian taste presented a scene that will linger long in the memory of those so fortunate as to be present. The floral decoration was the work of Mr. Jesse Powell of the firm of Kinnear. It was a dinner that spelled success. It was a dinner at which congenial spirits touched elbows and a splendid feeling of unity prevailed, making a votary to Liberian progress as well as to the progress of the American Negro of every man present. After the delicious and choice viands had disappeared down the alimentary canal and found repose in the yearning stomach of the banquetors, Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, as toastmaster, in a few well chosen remarks, introduced Dr. Booker T. Washington to respond to the toast "The Negro on two continents." When the Wizard of Tuskegee arose recognizing in him the one man who had taken the initiative in bringing the attention of this country to the condition of the lone black republic in the heart of Africa, the guests arose and cheered him. Dr. Washington was in his most happy frame of mind. His toast sparkled with infectious wit, teemed with wisdom and was studded with wholesome advice. He urged unity; he urged devotion to the interests of our brothers in Liberia, and admonished loyalty to the government under which we live as one in which, after all is said and done, is the most tolerant of Negro rights of any other government beneath the sun. Dr. Washington was followed by Bishop I. B. Scott, who accentuated all that the Doctor said, and pointed cut that in the giving, the past year, of over $300,000 by the whites of this country for missionary work among the dark-skinned dwellers in tropical Africa was fresh evidence of the interest white men are taking in the uplift of the Negro. Bishop Scott advised a showing of patriotism on the part of the Negro in this country, a loyalty to the flag. He also, in a most entertaining manner, told of the influence the church had exerted for good in darkest Africa. A rousing reception greeted the good bishop when he arose, and cheers when he took his seat. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, recent Commissioner to Liberia, was forceable in his remarks. Devoid of oratory, but delivered in a straight-forward style, simple, narratively, he charmed and captivated his hearers. Editor Wm. Calvin Chase was never better, and his witticism caught the attendance, and especially when he said "the daisies are all dead, but The Bee still lives." Harry S. Cummings, the pride of Maryland, and everybody's friend, spoke in a happy vein, and the applause he received betokened his popularity and the estimate of his remarks. HON. W. T. VERNON RESPONDS TO TOAST The much discussed question as to the value to be placed upon the church in the affairs of men is never a problem to fair minded men, when the question is reduced to its final analysis. That through the inspirational power of the church, the desire for better things ramifies every portion of our racial and national life, all will agree. It is to this great force that we owe the preservation, in a great measure, of the morals of the race through two and a half centuries of slavery. This iniquitous system which did all to brutalize and debauch, would have made impossible the redemption and salvation of the American Negro, had it not been for WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., S.

[Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. the preachments of the gospel of Jesus Christ during these awful years. The "servants obey your masters" quoted and preached to the Negro of the plantation, was but a justification of slavery, and ought to prove that this system enjoyed divine sanction and was best for the suffering slave. It gave authority to the task master and taught the bondman that he but obeyed the divine fiat when giving to his master days and years of unrequited toil. In the darkness of that hour when real religion had been made a mockery, and Christianity little less than a jest, there arose out of suffering night, a star of hope — the Negro church. I contend here that there is no one force which has done more for the advancement of the Negro than the Negro church. When troubles arises in a community between the races, all seek the preacher. When a great crisis is at hand, all gather at the meeting house to discuss their grievances and seek egress from their afflictions and trials. To seek to minimize such a force, to leave the church out of our calculations for upward growth and betterment is to betray ingratitude and to eliminate the most potent element in our struggle for final success. While working for elevation of mind and salvation of soul, the church urges the acquisition of reality holdings and the development into the highest possibilities of citizenship.

This is as it shodld be, for with the coming of Christ men have been teaching the duty ot man to man. The church through the centuries, has been the hope of the common people. It afforded opportunity for the lower classes to rise when all else failed. As the highest exponents of the ability of the church to produce great men—men who by way of the church can rise to prominence in affairs of State and religion, and become most worthy instruments for the furtherance of the cause they represent and the uplift of humanity, we need but behold the distinguished guests of the evening, the Hon. Ernest Lyons, Minister Plenipotentiary, to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church to Africa. Associated with these men in effort for the uplift of the people of Liberia, we find Dr. Booker T. Washington, Whose presence here we all appreciate—who has told the world in the story of his life that he early united with the church of his choice, and in the midst of varied responsibilities and duties of his busy career, has been found always working for the church. All honor to the church. Her work can never be diminished, and her influence will grow greater as the years unfold. Judge R. H. Terrell, responding to the toast "Our Guests," as usual with him, pleased and edi- fied his listeners. Prof. Kelly Miller used up three minutes for a little speech that was a perfect gem—a characteristic Miller attainment. Armond W. Scott gave fresh evidence of his truly forensic power, and that white-headed old warrior, that relic of reconstruction days, still mentally and physically but a young man, Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback, though modest in his remarks, struck a responsive chord, and as usual, was greeted with wild applause. Judge M. W. Gibbs, bearing his eighty-six years as blushingly as a bride bears her wedding ring, showed the same fire and zeal that he displayed back in the days when most of those about the banquet board were yet unconceived future potentialities. Rev. M. M. Clair, Mr. James A. Cobb, Thomas L. Jones. Roscoe C. Bruce, Dr. E. D. Williston and Dr. A. M. Curtis were also among those carded for a three minute display of oratory. Minister Lyon was listened to with marked attention. His splendid English, his pretty figure, his zeal was such as to hold all spellbound, except frequently when a particularly bright saying caused those present to puncture his remarks with the applause of approval. Minister Lyon's address, in part, was as follows: "Words are inadequate to express to you how deeply we feel, and how profoundly grateful we are to the promoters and subscribers to this unique and significant function, which, as you have rightly said, is not only ational in scope, but International in significance, and which, in the ultimate must redound to the good of the cause in which we are all so deeply interested. While I am not entitled to speak officially either for Liberia or the Liberians, nevertheless, I know them so well that I can venture to assert and I fell that your distinguished prelate guest, Bishop Scott, will indorse the assertion, when I say that Liberia and the Liberians are not only grateful to you for what you have already done, but they still look to you, their kinsmen in America, citizens of this great and mighty Republic, of which any sane man may well be proud, to take the initiative in every laudable endeavor which shall have as its object the preservation of the territory of the Republic the perpetuation of her National Independence, and the Moral, Intellectual and Material Development of her varied population in order that she might justify the purpose of her founding, and the hope of her founders. In considering the Liberian situation, three needs appear, needs which are not only urgent, but essential to the growth and development of the Continued on ith page.

The rank of lieutenant-general was conferred on him last year by special act of Congress. John Steward Kennedy, a wealthy banker, of New York City, who died recently, bequeathed more than $25,000,000 to religious, charitable and educational institutions connected with the Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Kennedy had been a prominent member for many years. The American Bible Society is among the large beneficiaries, receiving $750,000; Tuskegee, received $100,000; Hampton, $100,000, and Oberlin, $50,000.

Hungary possesses in Count Geza Zichy a musical genius, who in spite of the fact that when a boy he lost right arm through an accident while hunting, has earned the reputation of being one of the best pianists in Europe. He is now in his sixty-first year and during his life-time has developed an extraordinary left-hand technique and composed several operas in addition to producing a large number of songs and piano pieces. Stonewall Mills, one of the most historic landmarks in the valley of Virginia was destroyed by fire entailing a loss of $6,000. Situated on the famous valley turnpike near Winchester, it was one of the few flourishing mills in that section to escape destruction, when Gen. Phil Sheridan laid waste everything from the Potomac southward 100 miles. It helped supply the Confederate forces with flour. Much sorrow is felt in the philanthropic circles over the death of Charles N. Crittenton, the humitarian and founder of the chain of seventy-eight Florence Crittenton Missions in the United States. Mr. Crittenton for forty years it is stated has given the world an example of Christian charity. He gave his time and energy as freely as money. It was his belief that the best way to combat sin was to lift up those who were in desperation and despair. The Horizon, a monthly journal edited by W. E. Du Bois, assisted by L. M. Hershaw, and F.

"Say," whispered the man with the fridescent whiskers and the green hand-scrief, 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 bum 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 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 Jim!

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.

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 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.

Washington, D.C WORTH ADVERTISING FOR. | Chere are 5499, Negroes emp.oyed bere in Washington by the Government alone, and these 5,499 Negroes draw salaries aggregating $3,044,404. These more than’ three millions of dollars are spent right here in Washington, but scattered among the hundreds of tradesmen Is this amount of money worth bidding for? It certainly is, and not even the largest stores in this city would refuse to get the big end of it did they but realize how much money the Negroes are reat- ly spending. ° Now The Bee is the only Negrr oublication in this city. It stands withaut a rival or competitor, ansItovers the field like a blanket. If a few of the merchants in this city will patronize the advertising col- umns of The Bee, presenting the attractive bargains they may have, these Negroes — these 5-499 N:sgroes who draw annually from the Government over three millions of Collars — will assume that by pat ronizing a publication edited and operated by one of their race that auch firs desire and deserve their patronage. And such firms will receive the bulk of these over thre milions of dollars received ane 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 threé millions tf dollars spent by Washington Negroes by advertising in The Lee?. . * Place your advertising in The Kee and watch these 5.499 apprecia- tive 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.

It seems, however, that his home training is being sadly neglected. It is disgusting at times, to see some young colored men get into a street car and sit all over the seats. It is embarrassing to see them show no politeness, by rising and giving female members of their race or any other race seats. Many of them right out of ditches make directly for front seats and there they will sit, laugh and cry out as if they were some heathens. There is a difference in the young colored man of today and those in the days of slavery or soon after the reconstruction period. With all of our school facilities the young colored man has a great deal to learn. The schools are not to blame. The fault is in his home. The mother or the father doesn't seem to have the proper control over him. Many of them run wild during the excursion and picnic season. In the winter the dancing schools takes up his spare moments. There should be a law enacted to put these individuals to work. Our streets and avenues are filled with idlers. There should be some law enacted that will give the police authority to arrest all idlers or persons who are not at work. Every man should be made to work and if he is out of work he should be given employment upon some government reservation. DEAD HEADS The collectors for The Bee have made several calls upon the subscribers who have put them off from time to time with some frivolous excuse. This the last notice that we shall give those who are in arrears for The Bee and if they don't pay up at once the paper will be discontinued from this date and their names will be placed upon our books as dead heads. A person who refuses to pay his subscriptions for a newspaper is dishonest and unreliable. We shall prepare a list of dead head subscribers and hang it up in The Bee Office for the inspection of the honest people. The state of Virginia went democratic by a larger majority than it did two years ago, notwithstanding the fact that as all colored men are objectionable to the white people for office you may give the entire South every office in the gift of the administration and it will make no change in the complexion of the next Congress, except tend to solidify the Democratic party. Every colored voter in the entire country can be disfranchised and the Democratic party will not change its political religion. This is the only method of convincing conservative Republican Presidents. A GREAT DINNER The dinner given Hon. Ernest Lyon, Minister to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott at the Masonic Temple last Wednesday was a brilliant affair. It was one of the finest assemblage of colored men ever noted in this or any other city. It was a representative gathering—the flower of the race. Such a gathering could, not be possible, among colored men, in any other city. Great is the praise that is due the committee that had charge of the dinner. They left nothing lacking. Everything moved off smoothly and harmoniously — not a hitch or break anywhere, and the good fellowship that prevailed was indicative of approching race unity. DRUNKARDS The Bee would suggest to the chief of police, Major Sylvester to recommend to the Commissioners the passage of regulations prohibiting persons under the influence of liquor riding on street cars. No man or woman should be permitted to ride on a street car who is in the least, under the influence of liquor or any kind of intoxicant. It is embarrassing to ladies to be compelled to sit in a street car beside a person with the odor of liquor on his breath. A conductor should be given the authority to order any individual off his car who is under the influence of liquor or has the smell of the same on his breath. The president will have his hands full in the appointment of two commissioners for the District of Columbia. Several names have been presented to the President from which he can make a selection. It is the custom to appoint one Democrat and one Republican. If these appointments were left with the people they would select Captain James F. Oyster as the Democratic Commissioner and Mr. Chapan Brown as the Republican. Both men would give the people a good administration. The Bee is the most reliable Journal in the city and will benefit business firms to advertise in it. The holiday season is upon us and thousands of citizens will prepare themselves to purchase holiday goods. Thousands of citizens don't know where to go, but, if the merchants will place their advertisements in The Bee, there is no doubt but that they will have as much as the can do from now until after the holiday season. Send your advertisements, at once, to The Bee and realize results. It will pay you. The account of the Lyon-Scott dinner which appears in this issue of The Bee is the only complete account yet published. When you want all the news, all the time, and complete in every detail, you have to see The Bee. Those who desire copies of The Bee containing account of the banquet should call or send early, as the demand is great for copies. TheRepublic of Liberia Republic. They are these: Money, men and a settled boundary. The first is the guarantee of the second, and the third is the basis of National Stability and International confidence. The third is purely a diplomatic question and therefore can not be considered with any degree of propriety in this presence, test we wander into foroidden paths, and become entrapped in the maise of diplomatic intracacies, which situation may prove an uncomfortable one for me. The introduction of capital would not only introduce new blood into the Republic, but would transfer it into Western energy, initiative and push, which are so much needed at this time. It would not be difficult to induce a thrifty and worthy class of immigrants to move to Liberia, in that country had the ability to offer some inducements in the way of employment. With the advent of capital would come this ability. In reference to myself, if I were to consult my own preferences, I should prefer to remain in the United States, where the struggle is fierce and the competition keen, than to return to Liberia. To return is to disobey the suggestions of my own mind, as well as to sacrifice my own interest in certain directions; but since the brethren are unwilling to make the sacrifice, destiny seems to point in the direction of my return, and, of course, I would prefer to return rather than see the post suffer from the brethren's lack of official zeal. I want to see Liberia saved, not merely for the Liberians as such, but for the whole Negro race. It is sad to think that out of twelve million square miles of territory which constitute the area of the continent of Africa, only about forty thousand square miles remain in the hands of black people. Eleven million, nine hundred and sixty thousand square miles have been parceled out among the European nations. You feel with me that this little spot, known as Liberia, ought to be saved and held as an experiment station on the West Coast of Africa for the practice and development of Negro self-government. A knowledge of the struggles of the people of this Republic to maintain themselves on the West Coast of Africa would invite admiration rather than criticism. The first fifty years was a death struggle for existence against the ravages of an unhealthy climate, and the attempt of a savage population to exterminate them. Notwithstanding these obstacles, however, they have succeeded in maintaining a government which is recognized by the sisterhood of nations, and is also extending its rule to the tribunal regions within the influence of the Republic. No more heroic spectacle is presented by this effort of the Liberians to maintain themselves against the influence of paganism and Mohammedanism. Two millions of aboriginees pitted against forty thousand of the descendants of American Negroes. The former representing heathenism, paganism, and Mohammedism, the latter representing civilization and Christianity. The comparison is appalling, nevertheless, the Liberians have succeeded in spite of these opposing forces to maintain the Christian religion, and to conform to the habits and customs of a civilized people. The world today recognizes Liberia as a Christian nation. The Christian Sabbath is strictly observed, and its Bible is the standard of faith and practice. The home is the unit of their society, and polygamy among the civilized population is forbidden by law. A similar example of heroic struggle I do not think can be found anywhere else. But you ask, "What can the colored people in the United States do to assist in saving Liberia?' 'Much I' I answer. If Liberia is saved, the colored people of the United States must take the initiative. If salvation comes, it must come through the people of the United States. Under the circumstances, Liberia can look for aid from no other direction, and the colored people of the United States must be the medium through which that aid must come, until you have become strong and powerful, in spite of a thousand obstacles, in order that He might use you to serve your brethren in this signal way. You cannot shirk the responsibility! No argument is sufficiently potent, no matter by whom made, that can release the race in the United States of its responsibility and obligation to Liberia. The reputation of the race is bound up with the success of that experiment in government on the West Coast of Africa. Its success emphasizes the capacity of the race for the management and conduct of a great enterprise, and its failure in like manner furnishes occasion for offensive criticism. We will have to wait upon the fu- ture, not to reward, but to reveal the part taken by Dr. Booker T. Washington in his effort to save Liberia. His unselfish devotion in the interest of these people, long before and since the appointment of the Liberia Commission, must be known in order to be admired and appreciated. He has done much at great personal sacrifice and expense to stimulate public confidence in Liberia, and to bring about a condition which now appears favorable to the preservation of the independence of the little Republic; and in view of this fact, I ask you gentlemen to raise your glass, and in this innocent beverage—water—drink with me to the health of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Wizard of Tuskegee." At the conclusion, Mr. L. M. Hershaw offered the following resolution as the sense of the assemblage, and it was adopted unanimously by a standing vote. Resolved that it is the sense of this gathering that the perpetuity of the Republic of Liberia is essential as an example of the capacity of the Negro for self-government in the land of his origin, and that we pledge our moral influence to secure the integrity and independence of its territory. The following gentlemen, representing all the professions and business interests, and hailing from every section of the country, were subscribers to the dinner: Booker T. Washington, Prof. Kelly Miller, Charles W. Anderson, Rev. M. W. Clair, Judge R. H. Terrell, Dr. E. D. Williston, James A. Cobb, Wm. H. Lewis, L. M. Hershaw. Ralph W. Tyler, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. W.

I am advised that the colored men of the country are about to give a complimentary dinner Wednesday evening, November 17th, in honor of Hon. Ernest Lyon, Minister Plenipotentiary to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church to Liberia, and that they are doing this in some manner to evidence their deep interest in the future of the Liberian Republic. I am glad to express my sympathy with the movement that finds this expression, and my hope that our special mission to Liberia may result in such information that we shall be able to be of assistance to the Republic in its struggle for existance, and in making its field of usefulness more extended. Wm. H. Taft. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department. LETTER FROM DR. SHEPARD. Dr. James E. Shepard, the great Negro educator of Durham, N.. C. sent the following letter of regret: November 16, 1909. Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, Secretary, Washington, D. C., Dear sir: I regret exceedingly that a previous engagement prevents me being present at the complimentary dinner given in honor of Hon. Ernest Lyon, U. S. Minister to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott. I herewith enclose my subscription. We do well to stop for a moment to honor those men who away from home and country, are working heroically for the elevation of mankind and maintaining the prestige of race and country. Christianity must be the uplifting power of Liberia, and of all-benighted countries. Statesmanship alone will not solve the problem. Consecrated missionaries carrying the message of love and holy living will do more than all else put together. The cry of the world is for light. We are very fortunate indeed, that in the Diplomatic circles we are represented by a Christian Minister of standing. We are fortunate that a man of the character and dignity of Bishop Scott represents the great Methodist Church abroad. I honor and esteem the men you are honoring tonight. They are worthy. James E. Shepard. The committee in charge of the dinner, and to whom is dye all the credit for its magnificent success, was composed of the following gentlemen: Ralph W. Tyler, chairman; Lewis F. Johnson, secretary; Judge R. H. Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. W. S. Lofton, John C. Dancy, Rev. B. T. T. Perkins, P. B. S. Pinchback, Rev. M. W. Clair, W. T. Vernon, Dr. E. D. Williston, Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. John Hurst, James A. Cobb, Dr. W. C. McNeill, and Prof. W. Bruce Evans. CORNER STONE LAID Secretary of the Interior Ballinger laid the corner stone or the new science hall of Howard University an last Tuesday afternoon in the Rankin Memorial Chapel. Several hundred students and a score of educators were present. The building which will be three stories high, is being constructed out of an appropriation of $90,000. It will cost about $80,000, and the remaining $10,000 will be used for equipment. The structure will be of red brick and terra cotta and fire-proof. It will be occupied by the department of physics chemistry ana biology. Exercises in the chapel beginn by a procession of the university choir singing Parker's "Hymn of Redemption," followed by a prayer offered by Rev. William V. Tunnell, member of the board of education, and professor of history at the university. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of the university, was the first speaker. He paid tribute to Representative Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, who, his broadness of mind, was the introducer and moving spirit in the passing of the bill carrying the appropriation for the building. He also sai the money was given by the United States at the time when the treasury was depleted and that recognition of the need of the African race and the completion of the building marks a great step in the advance of the race. He paid tribute to Secretary Ballinger, under whose supervision the work of the institution is conducted. Dr. obert S Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, and Dr Charles Wardel-Stiles, director of the Rockefeller fund for combating the hook-worm disease followed. Secretary Ballinger advised the students to take advantage of their opportunities, and pressed hope that soon men of their race would be found among the most scientific men of the country. Tuesday night November 30th will be known as noward University night at Bethel Literary. The University faculty, alumni and student body are expected to be out in full force, together with the Vested Choir, Glee Club and Band. An elaborate program has been arranged.

In this day of democratic conservative views on the part of men, we do not need never to siddle while cities burn, or like Alexander the Great, who would sit down and cry for world's to conquer. What we do need is strong men, with common sense. I cannot understand how it is, that just as soon as a man enters the craft in this day, he thinks that he must be pushed to the top of the ladder the first thing when the doesn't even understand the first principles of the institution or the law or landmarks, and he is not willing to wait with time and patience until he is duly called, and if we don't get there, he will get angry and say there is nothing in it. The past week has been a very eventful one in the Eastern Star, during which time the grand visitation were made to the following chapters: On Monday night, to Queen of Sheba Chapter, No. 3. After the reception of the Grand Officers the following programme was beautifully rendered. Welcome—Louis A. Collins, R. M. King Solomon's Secret. One act Farce. Cast of Characters. Sarepta—Louise A.

Collins exemplified the secrets of King Solomon at the origin of Masonary upon a candidate from the 16th to 49th degree. The candidate said that the obligations pounded, impounded and compounded upon her were so many that she had to carry them home on a street car. Every one was well pleased with the work of the priestess and her corps of 14 officers. The Gethesesemane Chapter, No. 4. The scene that met the reporter on Wednesday night was past describing. Suffice to say that beautiful ladies, splendid gowns, flowers and the decorations of the hall made a scene that cannot be forgotten.

Chapter was a mere handful of Hon. Ladies use to meet at the residence of Hon. Lady Georgie Thomas, on L St.; between 15th and 16th, n. w., and today the reports shows that there are 7 chapters, with a membership of 1,400; money and stocks amounting to $25,-000 their credit.

Last Sunday was a great day in Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. It was a historical day. There was a flow of reason and a feast of the soul. And for two hours a stream of impassioned eloquence flowed as the fifty-eighth anniversary and me- The morning attendance was very large. The opening exercises consisted of prayer by Brother Osborn Lee, singing by the choir and reading of the roll of deceased members by Mrs. M. A. Tapscott. Then Hon. John C. Dancy, Recoder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, was introduced as the orator of the occasion. His theme was, "One hundred and fourteen years of Zion Methodism." He gave an epic sweep and aeschylean grandeur to the history of Zion Methodism, and he made the great men of Zion loom up like spiritual heroes of the statue of Luther, Knox and Wesley on the horizon of national greatness. Mr. Dancy said that the Zion denomination was brought into existence 114 years ago by the sainted Richard Varicks, who was seeking religious liberty and striving to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. And he paid tribute to the pioneer work of Bishop Hood and the splendid achievements of J. C. Price, the matchless orator. Then Hon. James A. Davis and Miss S. J. Janifer spoke in a prophetic vein. They looked down the vista of time and in glowing phrases pictured the future of Galbraith Church and its Sunday School. Then came the climax of the morning service, Mrs. Mary Shaw, who has been a member of the church for over forty years delivered an address upon "Our aged people and what they have done for Galbraith Church." She was the embodiment an incarnation of moving and irresistible eloquence. And she brought forth many an ahmen, as she spoke of the toil, struggle and self-denial of the mothers and fathers, who laid the foundation of their children's prosperity. And when she began to call the roll of the pastors of the church and ended We'll sell you all money can buy, meet prices and give you that no other house duplicate.

He paid a tribute to Recorder Dancy, Bishop Hood, Livingston College, J. C. Price and Dr. Corrothers. And he scores the movement in the Tpiscopal Church to have separate conferences for colored and white clergymen and the movement in the Presbyterian Church to have sparate Synods and Presbyteries for colored and white ministers. But he said that Christians principles would finally triumph and that perseverance is a Roman virtue that will finally bring success and pluck victory from the very edge of the precifice. Then Recorder Dancy introduced Dr. Walker, of Ashville, N. C., a graduate of Livingston College, who said that when Price, the Prince of Orators spoke he struck fire, threw men into the heroic mood and called upon them to lay themselves upon the altar of sacrifice. Then Rev. W. H. Graham prayed a moving prayer. And still there was more to follow. Dr. S. L. Corothers said that the color question was up in the Episcopal, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, that the Negro was not wanted there, that he should come out and come into the great colored Methodist Church which welcomed him with open arms. He said that Richard Varick left the white church because the white people wanted him to wait until they had taken their communion. And his example should be annulated by all of the colored communicants, who are under the whites. Galbraith Church was crowded to its doors Sunday night when Dr. S. L. Corrothers, the pastor preached the anniversary sermon and administered the communion. as good furniture as set all competition in you credit privileges in Washington will mmonplace just that plain statement? what you're looking for? of description and look you don't buy the goods point before you—to in- parisons—and to that end Furniture in-plain figures, short-time discounts that petition, but we want you SEE that this is a fact. account we simply charge requiring any money at to contract, lease or notes. ford to pay each week or CREDIT reductions now, rather than wait until trade is duller.

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

ADVISORY BOARD CLAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. 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 $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money. side by side with theirs. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

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 fe 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 ,milllonalre. Nefore that time the name of Lick wus great in the musical world. Lick’s planos—out of which be 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-mak- ing and mud-fiats—the great Lick Mill stands as a monument to Lick’s love.

The former Wisconsin newspaperman, who is the administrative head of Chicago’s pub- Ue Ubrary, lost no time in going to work to earn the $6,000 salary the board voted him. Arriving in Chl- cago on an early morning train from his home fn Milwaukee, Librarian Leg- ler hurried at once to the beautiful building on Michigan avenue which fs to be his workshop and began at once to knuckle down to his task. The new Hbrarian consepted to out- wee his plans only after expressly Ve age. ¥ P y gm i | Wy s eo v is WY PY / providing that nothing he should say might be construed as criticism of his Predecessor. “The principal afm of a Nbrarlan is to get the books under his charge into the hands \of the people who want them with the greatest degree of fa- ellity commensurate with proper pre- servation of the books themselves,” declared Librarian Legler. “As rapidly as the finances will al- low I belleve in extending the free-de- livery stations. The number of branch Nbraries ought also to be increased. Free home delivery has been tried in a few cities, but It is not yet necessary for Chicago and does not compare )with other and more urgent needs for what money Chicago has to ea- pend on its public library. With the help of the school officials it is our hope that the circulation of books in the juvenile ‘department may be in- creased to a great extent. “More Mberal privileges, it “would seem to me, may be extended to card holders. Elsewhere it is not an un- usual custom for patrons of public Ii- braries to be allowed the right of taking out two or three, or even more, books at one time on one card, pro- viding they do not attempt to monopo- lize books for which there appears to be widespread demand. Here, I am told, the holder of a card may take out only one book at a time. I think that system may be changed with due regard for the conyenfence of all con- cerned. “The general trend everywhere also appears to be toward increasing the freedom of admission to book stacks. ‘However, I want to make it clear that whatever changes I recommend will | be only after careful consideration and after obtaining the consent of the trustees.” Recently Mr. Legler refused an of. fer to take charge of the St. Louis public Hbrary and he also refused an offer to become Now York state If brarlan. He was for many years a newspaper reporter, then became sec retary of the Milwaukee school board, and for five years has been in charge of Wisconsin's state Hbrary commis sion, whfch handles hundreds of trav. eling libraries. .

CQ cew: WORKS Thilo QUEEH How Pzeis Chooses a Fete Sov- ereign Each Year. Mile, Lucienne Joly, a Hard-Working ‘Seamstress Was Queen of the » French Capital’s Autumn Feast This Year. Paris—Although France ts now a republic for the third time, her peo- ple still seem to hanker after royalty and thefr taste runs in the direction of queens. They can’t have a regular queen, of course, so they must be con- tented with queens of a lower degree, who are chosen in various trades and various parts of France with all due ceremony: From time immemortfal the trades- People of Paris have celebrated each carnival by electing a queen from ‘among the work people, whose chief merit {s unusual beauty, the pride of birth being quite an unimportant fae tor. . The vegetable women select thetr queen, the grocers theirs, the fishmar- ket makes Its choice and so on. Then these ‘several chosen queens are brought together for an appointed committee to pass judgment on them. The queen recelying the largest num- ber of votes Is ralsed to the highest honor and her title is—Queen of the Queens. It fs a strange fact that for several years, with one exception, the fish market has furnished the Queen of Queens for this joyous fete. This year the business men of Paris inaugurated a Fete d’Automme (au. tumn feast), and October 2 and 3 were chosen as the days for the cele bration. A very ceremonious meeting was held in the chamber of marriages at the city hall at which the delegates of v Bo AN at : a Wee 2 ius wt fp ~~ ar a ey a r E ee AL he eo i. _ oan ; eae Mile, Lucienne Joly. the various busimess associations as- sembled a few days ago for the dif. cult undertaking of electing an eplie, meral sovereign to preside pver this fete. The delegates on arriving at the| hall found 15 beauties sitting in state! awaiting the decison of the judges. The f{dle, butterfly type was not repre-| sented, for the young woman who was| to attain the supreme dignity of queen: had to be taken from the ranks of the business women. : After a moment's contemplation the president of the committee, M. Chal- anson, arose and in carefully selected words set forth the ideas which first, inspired the business men to bring In-| to existence this autumn feast. The’ delegates were then asked to vote for the queen of the fete. The situation was most embarrassing. Gallantry Is | proverbial with the Frenchman, and to his chivalrous mind it was almost treason to select one to the discredit of the other candidates. A choice had to be made, however, Above each candidate was a number and enck del- egate simply wrote the number of his preference on the slip pravided for him and dropped it into a box. The first count showed that the del- egates were of divers opinions and no one of the candidates had a majority. This necessitated another ballot. A signal was given to the brass band in attendance, and in a twinkling it was thrilling the assembled people with one of the most exciting popular airs. The music gave courage to the timid and faltering judges, so that it was only a question of few minutes before the final vote was cast and counted. This formality over, M. Grandon, mas- ter of ceremonies, announced the re- sult and proclaimed the chosen queen to be Mile. Luclenne Joly, queen of the dressmakers, a Juno-like brunette who had recelved 41 votes, thus ma- king her Queen of the Autumn Feast. Blushing with pleasure and greatly agitated, the refgning soverelgn thanked the assembly for the honor conferred on her, and the committee then escorted her and her 14 maids of honor to a restaurant, where the cho- sen one was congratulated demonstra- tively by her relatives and compan- fons. Unquestlonable Probity, - A housewife who had met with un- pleasant experiences through a dis- honest servant took the precaution be- fore filling the vacancy, to write to the applicant's last employer for explicit information as to the girl's honesty: “J believe Mollle to be thoroughly hon- est,” came the prompt reuly, “] cer. talnly never knew her to take any- thing, not even my orders. She didn’t even take pains,” Perhaps it fs no disgrace to be a kicker {f the other ‘fellow needs one. LEGAL NOTICES. W. C. MARTIN, ATTORNEY.

CAPTAIN OYSTER THE MAN Editor The Bee: Among the splendid aggregation of names prominently mentioned for the Commissionership of the District of Columbia, there is none that looms up more prominently and well than that of Capt.

Of even and equable temperament, of great poise and executive ability, considered with his deep interest in the city's needs and welfare, and his long and successful administration of school affairs, Capt. James F. Oyster would make an excellent Commissioner for the District. By all means, let Capt. Oyster be one of the Commissioners. John T. C. Newson. 2002 13th St., n.. w.

The decreasing number of soldiers in France may lead to the use of blacks in Africa as military reserves young Frenchmen serving with the colors. Owing to the adoption of the two-year system, and the decline in the population, the French army twenty-seven years hence will, it is estimated, have sunk to 371,000. To fill the void, all the military authorities, and most of the parlimentary men, with the exception of the Socialists, advocate the formation of a Sudan, and available not only for African service, but also, in the event of war, for service in Europe. England may come to the same pass, if militarism grows upon her; and, in the course of time, Europe would present the spectacle of the black men from Africa and the brown men from India fighting the white men's battles in the socalled heart of Western civilization.New York Sun.
