VOL.XXX NO 30 A GREAT WOMAN A GREAT WOMAN NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES Miss N. H. Burroughs, President— Lincoln, D. C. At last Washington has in operation a Vocational Training School for women and girls. Women and girls are given a marketable education and one has but to read the circular announcement then visit Lincoln, and be convinced that at last, we have a school that is not going all around Robin Hood's Barn, but straight at the educational problem, and will give women and girls the kind of education, they can use in earning a living. The courses are practical and comprehensive. The high moral and religious atmosphere, makes the Institution a real home, where all the virtues are cultivated. The new chapel is a beauty. The students are anxious to get into their new quarters, and it will not be many days before the building will be turned over for services. The National Training School Supply Department at 20th and L Sts, is being well patronized by the women of the city who desire well-made dresses. Miss Nannie Godall and Miss Emma Lewis are expert cutters and fitters. You can help the Training School by patronizing the Supply Department. Night classes in sewing. Rev. S. N. Vass addressed the student body on Friday. He is very enthusiastic over the work already accomplished. As usual, quite a number of visitors found their way to Lincoln Heights this week. Misses Mattie R. Bowen, Alice Nelson, E. L. Jean, and Ida Plummer, were among the number who represented the city school. All visitors are charmed at the ideal location of the school, surrounded with nature's choicest blessings. All of our friends are surprised at the progress evident by the buildings, equipments and enrollment. The students are girls, made of the "stern stuff" who desire their lives moulded for great service. The president has that peculiar power that inspires one to desire to do great things for the race and the world. Our enrollment represents seven different states. Texas holds her own—being the largest State in the Union—she has the largest number of students, and they are the most musical. Chapel Hour—Sunday—6.00 p. m. is indeed interesting. Here we report what we have learned from the sermons and services we have attended during the day. You see to begin with, we all have the same subject, and you may think we say the same thing—"but be ye disappointed" if you expect such. Our reports are far from the same. Some of us see differently—others hear more differently—and still others explain most differently. Very often we all listen to the same sermon, but if you could hear us, you would think we were even in different cities. If you have the blues or any ailment—come to Lincoln and hear the Sunday reports on sermons and services and be healed. Mentally, you will be refreshed. The "peculiar" reports will make you forget your ills. Ask Mrs. Emma Lewis and Miss Mattie R. Bowen and others who frequently come to hear our Sunday reports. The Quiz hour is another period of interest. It is conducted by our president. The hour we know not, but we do know often we are 'weighed in the balance and found wanting' but amid it all we "look wise" and Misses Versa, Rudolph and Hanna say—I'll know next time." The next time has never come. All of the girls are trying to be Walking Encyclopedias, because they see it is necessary. If you are desirous of knowledge in a nut-shell, ask the president when is the time of the "Quiz Hour," and come out. The president's daily message is — How to do ordinary things in an ordinary way.

THE BEE WASHINGTON THE WOMEN'S TRADE-UNION MOVEMENT IN GREAT An article on "The women's trade union movement in Great Britain," by Katherine Graves Busbey, is published in Bulletin No. 83 of the Bureau of Labor, Department of Commerce and Labor. The writer gives a history of the movement and discusses its growth, the obstacle to organization of women, the attitude of male trade unionists, the results of organization, and the relation of women's trade unions to low wages and the sweating system. From the beginning of the movement in 1874, what is now known as the Women's Trade Union League has been the most important agency in the development of unionism among women in Great Britain. This organization at present has nearly 140,000 members. As regards the comparative growth of male and female membership in trade unions in recent yeras it is shown that in 1896, which is the first year for which comparative figures of female trade-union membership are available, 149 unions included women and girls as members out of a total of 1,302 trade unions, the female membership at that time being 117,030, or 7.8 per cent of the membership increased from 1,386,7009 to 1,768,767, or 27.6 per cent, while the female membership rose from 117,030 to 126,285, or 7.9 per cent. Since 1904 the percentage of gains among male and female members has been largely reversed. In 1907 the organized women numbered 201,709, a gain of 59.7 per cent over 1904, while the increase in male membership, although amounting to 436,270 new members, represented a relative increase of only 24.7 per cent. Among the chief obstacles to the organization of women workers in Great Britain have been the temporary nature of their occupations, low wages and low standard of living, class distinctions, and apathy. Male trade unionists in the printing trades have offered opposition on account of inferior workmanship and the generally lower rate of wages paid to women. It is stated, however, that "in Manchester the men trade-union leaders are enthusiastic over the work accomplished by the women's unions throughout Lancashire. It is difficult to determine just what the opinion of the male trade unionist of the present day is in regard to the advantages or necessity of unionism among industrial women." As to the results accomplished the writer concludes that the women's trade-union movement has in some instances been directly responsible for increase of wages, has added successful pressure to initiation and furtherance of protective legislation, and through the Women's Trade-Union League has accomplished much toward the conservation of health and the promotion of safety among local workers where little or no local organization can yet be effected. The women trade-unionists of Great Britain seek to secure the betterment of labor conditions through protective legislation rather than by militant action. They regard the trade unions as a medium for suggestion aud as an aid in enforcing the legal rights of workers. The greatest endeavor of the leaders at the present time is to secure the extension of the board of arbitration prerogative to an authoritative for legal decision in wage disputes and the establishment of wages boards empowered to fix a legal minimum wage in certain trades. Durham, N. C., Nov.27. W. Sidney Pittman of Washington, D. C., was invited, by Dr. Jas. E. Shepard, the rising young educator, to come to Durham, D. C., last week on business. While here Mr. Pittman was royally entertained. He left for Greensboro today and from there he will go to Kentucky. The people in Durham are highly pleased with this young architect.

C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 4, 1909 [Portrait of a woman in a white dress with a feathered headpiece. She is standing with her hands on her knees.] MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS His Guest Of Honor Open Letter To President Distinguished Guests Present — A Fine Report and Good Speakers The spacious parlors of the Ludnell were beautifully decorated and festoned with flags and Chinese lanterns last Saturday afternoon. The occasion being a dinner by the Hon. Ernest W. Lyons, United States Minister to Liberia. On this occasion Minister Lyons was the host, and his guests were: Hon. Harry Cummings, of Baltimore, Md.; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy; Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury; ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds; Judge Robert H. Terrell, Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. W. L. Willister, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Mr. James W. Gray, and Editor W. Calvin Chase. It was an occasion long to be remembered. Messrs. Hudnell and Savoy showed their bests in making the event one that was fit for the gods. Covers were laid for fantinon and the dinner was served in courses. It was a complimentary return by Minister Lyons to the committee and others who so gratefully tendered Dr. Lyons a banquet on the evening of November 17th. At the conclusion of the report Mr. Cummings, who acted as toast master stated that he would depart from the usual custom, intending the principal speaker last, but on this occasion he would introduce him first, the host of honor, Minister Ernest W. Lyons who wished to thank the committee and others for their excellent banquet given Bishop Scott and himself in this city on November 17. When he arose he was greeted with a prolonged aplause. Dr. Lyons briefly tendered his thanks to the committee and other gentlemen who had given Dr. Scott and himself a banquet on the date mentioned by his esteemed friend, Mr. Cummings and concluded by paying a high compliment to the Liberian people and especially their government At the conclusion of his address, Auditor Tyler was introduced who is always an interesting talker and an agreeable entertainer. In a very flowery speech, Mr. Cummings introduced ex-Gov. Pinchback, who stated that he was interested in the Liberian government and hoped to see the day when that government would lead the world. At the conclusion of Mr. Pinchback's remarks the company left, feeling that a deserving man had returned the compliments. Washington, D. C., Nov. 30, 1909. To the President of the United States. My dear Mr. President: I address you this open letter for fear that you may not know that there are ninety thousand colored people in this city who have been oppressed and discriminated against for a number of years. Republican and Democratic Presidents have appointed Commissioners for the District of Columbia and at no time have any of these Commissioners seen fit to appoint a colored citizen to a representative position. The Democratic Commissioners Mr. President, are supposed to look after the interest of his Democratic constituents and not Republicans. What will be most pleasing, Mr. President, to your 90 thousand colored citizens is the appointment of good, liberal men the successors of Messrs. West and Macfarland. Of course the people would very much prefer that they don't accept the resignation of Mr. West, because his successor is hard to find, with but one exception, and that exception is Captain James F. Oyster. I am confident that Captain Oyster would give us all a square deal which we have not heretofore received, only from the Democratic Commissioner, Mr. West. Colored citizens are told Mr. President that they should not apply for office. Why it is our Constitutional right to apply for any place in the gift of your a administration. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction among colored men throughout the country, Mr. President, but I have endeavored to oppose this discontent by informing your faithful allies that your interest to do the right thing towards them. I hope you will not disappoint them, Mr. President, because we shall need them in 1912. The colored voter is becoming restless and something must be done to satisfy him. He may not be a factor in the South, Mr. President, but he is in the North, East and West. Referring again to the commissionership, I hope that you will make no mistake in the appointment. We want no Psalm singers, Mr. President, amen corner shouters or Christian Endeavor pretenders. We want good and honest men at the head of our local government. I see by a local paper that you anticipate some changes among your colored constituents. What we want in this direction, perhaps, you will not consider. Where a man has served well and faithfully he should remain and increase the number of appointments by creating new places. The few colored men in office doesn't half pay us, Mr. President, for our faithful adherence and fidelity to the Republican party. You have decided not to appoint any more colored men South who may be objectionable to the white people. Whenever there is an office to give away and a white man, South, wants it all that the objectors must do is to protest against the colored man, Mr. President. I have been waiting for a great number of years, Mr. President, but it seems that the longer I wait for something to turn up the further it gets from me. It is a question with colored Americans of this country whether it would not be best to turn up something. You have been office long enough, Mr. President, to take the appointments of colored men out of the hands of your Cabinet officers and consider them yourself. A local paper that has always been inimical to the colored people makes some predictions. We take no more stock in this local sheet, Mr. President, than you do in considering Ben. Tillman for the Court of St. James. You should take the advice of a few impartial colored non-applicants for office, Mr. President. If you do, I feel confident that you will not go astray. I hope in my next to discuss the matter of colored appointments more fully, Mr. President, and until then believe me to be, DR. THIRKIELD The Thanksgiving sermon of Dr. Thirkield on the 25th of last month at the Metropolitan Church, Four and half and C Streets, northwest, was no doubt one of the ablest sermons that ever fell from the lips of man. The church was packed. It recalled the days of Grant and other eminent men who attended that church when the late Dr. Newman held his audience spellbound. Without fear or favor Dr. Thirkield took up the cause of the colored Americans and defended them. He told his hearers that it was preposterous to think of sending the colored race out of the United States. He said that the foreigner fresh from his native land comes to this country with the bomb in his hands, that in the history of the colored race you have failed to find any bomb throwers; you see no strikes among the colored people and they come nearer doing like the white American race than any other nationality upon this globe. Instead of driving the colored people away from home, great men like Dr. Thirkield will make a similar defense of the colored American race. There may be some bad ones among us, but there are no bomb throwers and strikers, no matter how bad they are otherwise. You should do all in your power to protect them, declared Dr. Thirkield. The Bee extends its thanks to the distinguished president of Howard University and hopes that the day is not far off when other great men like Dr. Thirkield will make a similar defence of the colored American race. There may be some bad ones among us, but, there are no bomb throwers and strikers, no matter how bad they are otherwise. The colored man is grateful. He knows his friends and while many are oppressed and lynched the masses will do their duty, and when Dr. Thirkield said that there are no bomb throwers among our people and they are loyal to the Republic, he paid a deserving tribute to a grateful people. Maj. John R. Lynch, now stationed at San Francisco, has been notified it is said that he will be continued on active service until the time of enforced retirement, which is at the age of sixty-four years, and further that he will not be required to take the riding or walking test. Maj. Lynch, has now nearly two more more years to serve on the active list. Read The Bee. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Miss Gonevia B.

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 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!" saks 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.

"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 ternied him, and after the first pyrotechnic outburst steadily refused to speak to the unfortunate man for the rest of the evening.

The principle was the same that is being used in Paris now, but thé doc- tors of 30 years ago had not quite solved the secret of the effect of blue light on the human brain, They were going {t blindly—just lke the farmer who put green goggles on his cow and fed her shavings. But now sclence has found the real reason for the effect of red and blue on people's overworked minds. There's a quality in the red and blue rays that doctors call an actinic quality, * when you look at anything bright red, the réd rays of light quicker than the mind can concelve, travel to the BLUE sree i>. = mare chu, RED ermaeeet 7 LOVE, SS How Colors Affect the Eye, aight cells of your brain, tingling the hairlike nerves on their way there, When you look at anything blue the same thing happens, only the nerve wire to your brain 1s a different nerve wire, for different colors tingle dif- ferent nerve wire lnes, just like dilf- ferent telephones signal “central” over different wires. The red nerve lines pass through a part of the brain that contains what doctors call the cells of hate! The blue nerve lines go a certain afstance on the red party nerve line, and then switch nto the sight cells through a part of the brain that con. talns the cells of love! So with this in mind you can see the point made by the French doctor who ‘says he can stop divorces, cure family jars, and make happy homes by changing red furniture and wall pa- per to blue. For nearly 60 years the men of sclence have known something about the colors’ effect on the brain of man. The love cells are just below the wate cella, and as far back as 30 years ago Prof. Fowler, the eminent reader of men’s heads, called the place on the head where the love cells are the bump of Amativeness. Above this bump of amativeness is the bump of Hate, which ought to be Jess prominent on your head than the other bump. Prof. Frederick Starr, a present-day student of the heads of Indians and other strange peoples, found that the bump of hate was larger on an In- dian’s skull than dn a white man's, He believes that is why 4n Indian never forgets a grudge. The possibilities of treatment of family jars with colored rays are al- most without limit, they say. Wives, especially, will be interested in the new discovery. Lots of even- ings a man will come home and scold shis wife, scold the nice supper she has cooked for him and find fault with ey- erything. Perhaps it's a red carpet In the man’s office, or a red curtain at home, or red wall paper, or a red-headed maid in the kitchen! Hereafter, instead of “painting the town red,” a man pu win honor if he paints it blue!’ The way to a man’s heart after all may be through a blue glass window, or a blue silk dress, rather than through his stom- ach, In thia marvelous discovery science has again shown one of her most -won- derful truths—that it is the little things that cause .trouble in the ‘ world. The Country's Progression, ‘The first post route In the United States was established in 1672. It was between New York and Boston and the schedule was once a month. To- day the yearly cost of mall transporta. tion on our railroads alone is about $45,000,000. The railway postofiice lines cover 208,484 miles and employ over 16,000 officers and clerks. ~ Mme.

This organization forgets that there are ninety thousand colored citizens in this city who pay taxes on over ten millions of dollars worth of real estate to say nothing of the personal taxes these citizens pay who ought to have some voice in the selection of the two District Commissioners. President Tait, while he would not appoint a colored citizen to one of the vacancies ought to name a man who will be, at least acceptable to his fellow colored citizens. There are several candidates who have been mentioned who are. objectionable not only to the white citizens, but to the colored citizens, namely, Mr. Weller specially, The Bee would rather see a man, or would just as leave to see a man on the order of Ben. Tilman as it would Mr. Weller. If there ever was a man objectionable to our people, it would be Mr. Weller or men of his style. What the ninety thousand colored citizens in this city want are two good men, to succeed Mr. West and Macfarland, that is if the resignation of Mr. West is to be accepted, who have no color prejudices. It will make no difference to them if both are Democrats or both are Republicans. To some extent the Republicans appointed to office are more selfish toward the colored people than the Democrats are. The Bee has found them so at any rate. There is no representative place, under our local government held by any colored man. It is not expected that the Democratic Commissioners would select a colored Republican for a representative but, it is certain that the Republican Commissioners could have appointed a few colored men to places of minor importance, even if he did not want to appoint one to a representative place. The Bee wants to see President Tait to disregard the recommendations of the silk stocking organizations and appoint two men who will fill the bill. Everybody will be satisfied with Captain Oyster and Mr. Chapan Brown. A LACKEY There is nothing any more disgusting than a lackey. A lackey is a coward. It is always best to be manly in your deportment and show those with whom you come in contact that you don't have to depend upon those who may have a little more money than you, or hold a little higher position than you. The truly great man has no respect for a lackey. He is unsafe. No man is safe in his presence. He lacks manhood, and whenever a man lacks manhood he can do you no good. Suppose all other religious denominations would do likewise? The poor after death would not then be buried in Potters field. There are lots of false pretenders in the church who would have the world to believe that their Christian precepts would prevent them from committing sin. It is not the person who shouts and talks on God is the person we should put faith in. By your works you shall be known and credit given accordingly. SHEPARD AND WASHINGTON Here are two Southern colored representatives. Both are doing good work for the uplift of their people. Durham, N. C., and Tuskegee Ala., will go down in history as two of the greatest places upon the Globe for the elevation and advancement for colored Americans. Dr. James E. Shepard, who is advancing a new propaganda. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is educating the masses how to live and upon what to live to keep body together. Dr. Shepard is teaching the colored man what will make him a factor in this great Republic of ours. It is the duty of the people to give these two men all the encouragement that is within their power. AN OVATION Dr. Booker T. Washington is receiving an ovation wherever he speaks in the State of Tennessee. It is quite evident that all classes of citizens irrespective of color, condition, politics or religious creeds are giving'Dr. Washington such an ovation that Kings and Queens only can receive. There is something in the man. He possesses a faculty that no other colored American in this country possesses. His advice to his people is such that will be a benefit to them. OUR HIGH SCOOL The new principal of the Colored High School is doing well and the school never was in a better condition. It is all quiet there now and the teachers are working in harmony with the new principal ADVERTISE NOW Now is the time to place your advertisement in The Bee for the holidays. NO COLORED PORTERS The government of Mexico has notified the Pullman Company that it must get rid of all colored porters and conductors as soon as possible. Where is the colored man to go and what is he to do to appease the prejudice of the mean whites? You must not fail to attend the Christmas Bazaar given under the auspices of the Helping Hand. There will be articles on sale which will interest the smallest child, to say nothing of the attraction that will hold the attention of the older people. This affair will be the most unique thing of its kind ever given in the District of Columbia. The following young ladies form the executive committee: Misses Ethel Davis, Violet Ferguson, Helen Hardis, Lillian Evans, Mary Cooke, Beulah McNeill, Virginia Williams and Marguerite Brent, these ladies with several very energetic workers of the club, will take pleasure in helping to make your evening's enjoyable one's. The Bazaar will be held at 1447 Pierce Place, n. w. December 6-11 inclusive. Don't miss a rare treat. PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO Address Delivered at the Lutheran Memorial Church At a meeting of the interdenominational study class of the Lutheran Memorial Church held recently Mrs. John R. Francis, president of the Colored Young Women's Christian Association, and Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University spoke on "The Negro and the Citizen" and "Negro Citizenship," respectively, before a large gathering. Mrs. Francis and Prof. Miller reviewed the progress of the Negro race in the past forty-five years. Educational qualifications were advocated for all voters because of the necessity of every man intelligently performing his duties and knowing his rights as outlined by the Constitution and courts. Both speakers declared that since the Negro acquired the right to vote he had acquitted himself creditably, and the question for the future was how to make members of the race more capable and efficient citizens. This it was declared, depended on education and co-operation with the white race. A. A. O. N. M. S. Where is Mecca Temple? We hope it has not gotten lost in the hot sands of the desert. I view of the fact, that the Imperial Council is to meet in Detroit, Mich., next August, they should come together and take some active steps toward making preparations to go. I would suggest that they should commence now and give a series of entertainments to stock their commissary with camels milk. O. E. S. Excelsior would be a good preface to head the description of the reception given to the Grand Chapter on its grand visitation to Datcher Chapter on Monday night. A more beautiful scene could not be conjured up in the mind of artist, than that which meet our gaze as we entered the portals o their Chapter room. The decoration of the hall was superb, and the raiments of the Hon. Ladies in all of their various tints and lines were a dream. The writer cannot find words to express his feeling. The corps of officers of the chapter were perfect in their work. The examination made by Hon. E. L. Wagner and the committee showed that this baby chapter was up to the standard which was highly complimented by the Grand Matron, Hon. Lady A. V. Moore. The following program was beautifully rendered: Hymn—Star Spangle Banner. Welcome — Hon. Lady Florence Marshall. Recitation — Hon. Lady Annie Slade. Hon. Lady — Francis Thomas, pianist. Thus ending the grand visitation for 1999. Grand visitation this year has had the largest attendance ever held in this jurdiction and shows a vast improvement all along the line. Robert H. Robertson is dead. This is the news that was flashed over the wires on Tuesday night, November 22nd from Alexandria, Va. This announcement relative to Bro. R. H. Robertson who was the oldest Past G. M. among colored Masons, one of the oldest citizens of Alexandria, Va., and one one of the oldest Ministers in the M. E. Church. He was the first secretary of Universal Lodge, No. 1, located in Alexandria, Va., instituted Feb. 5th, 1845. He was the fourth Grand Master of Grand Lodge of District of Columbia, which was organized March 27, 1884, he serving as G. Master in the year 185—. He was present at the convention held in Fleets School house, West Washington that day, as also the following delegates Social Lodge, No. 7, J. D. Kennedy, W. E. Grant, A. F.

Phiske, John T. Coston, John Lewis, John H. Thomas, John H. Massia Also Bro. John A. Gray, he being the only member now living, that was in that convention. Bro. Robertson was active in the craft up to 4 years ago. Owing to his infirmities in this life, he became inactive. He was made a honorary member of Universal Lodge. His remains was buried from Robert's Chapel, S. Washington St., on Thursday, November 25, at 2 o'clock. Rev. M. H. Clair officiated, assisted by 26 other ministers of the M. E. Church, and other churches. The services were very solemn and impressive. R. A. M. Mt. Vernon Chapter, No. 1 worked R. A. degree on 12 candidates on Friday night. At a mass meeting of the members of Mt. Calvary Commandery a pilgrimage club was formed to make the pilgrimage to Det. Nuds, in August, 1910. The following officers were elected: Captain Gen. John E. Smith, president; Sir Kt. L. C. Barley, treasurer; Sir Kt. James E. Slaughter, secretary. Gen. Lissimo—Sir Kt. E. L. Webster, collects from the members monthly, certain amounts which will be deposited to their credit to pay their expenses on that occasion. A. A. Rite Jonathan Davis Consistory held its regular meeting, Monday night, November 29th and elected the following officers: Commander-in-Chief D. J. Renford. First Lieutenant Commander M. Second Lieutenant Commander. M. Taylor. M. H. Robinson. Ill SublimePrince R. L.

So Jonathan Davis must commence to take steps looking to its entertainments on this occasion and it behooves every Sublim Prince to be up and a doing for it is expected that it will be the largestgathering ever held by the Supreme Council. WORK ON PRACTICAL JOKER. The Corriere of Rome, which published some time ago a copy of a document said to have been found in the library at Bergamo containing an account of "an airship voyage across the English channel in 1751," is receiving much attention at the hands of investigators. In the Tribune's notice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk named Grimaldi, of Clvita Vecchia, was the chief actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Italian paper's article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. "Now," writes an Englishman from Rome, "the records of Clvita Vecchia are being searched in vain for a Grimaldi and the papers of England for a story of the flight. The document may be in the library, but who was the practical joker who placed it there?"—New York Tribune. Wireless-Telephone on Warships. According to daily press reports wireless telephony has not proved an unqualified success on the battleship fleet. It was impossible to send messages over any great distance except under the most favorable conditions, and when the telephone was in use the telegraph had to keep silent. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY OF CHURCH The members of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church celebrated the fiftyeighth anniversary of the founding of the church last Sunday. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds for the District, spoke at the morning service on "One hundred and fourteen years of Zion Methodism." The effort to have separate snyods and presbyteries for Negro and white ministers was scored by A. W. Scott, a lawyer. The anniversary service in the evening was conducted by Rev. S. L. Corrothers, pastor. Washington Herald. Lloyd Tooney, a well known citizen of Baltimore, and a relative of Prof. Parker N. Bailey of the M Street High School of this city died last Saturday. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's Chapel, Baltimore, last Monday. FOLLOWED QUARRY TO DEATH Some men working in the fields west of Moscow village the other day saw a hawk start a partridge in a wheat field and attempt to cach it. The partridge was too speedy of wing, though, and for a short distance it flew straight for the village, after attempting to elude its pursuer, thinking, perhaps, that in the habitation of man there was protection from its merciless foe. The two birds flew down Main street in front of the stores and people on the street, but the hawk was so engrossed in the pursuit of its prey that the presence of men did not frighten it off. The partridge flew about the buildings on Main street and then to the residence section. It was rapidly tiring from its long flight, and as the hawk, which was stronger of wing, seemed about to clutch it in its talons the partridge attempted to fly in the window of A. J. White's residence, but the window was closed and the bird struck the glass with force enough to break its neck and shatter the pane in many pieces. The crashing glass frightened the hawk and it quickly flew off, evincing a desire, however, to take the dead body of the partridge with it—Mount Morris Correspondence Rochester Herald. SOVEREIGNS OF THE REGION Splendidly Led Baboons Ate the Crops In Nigeria So Fast Natives Gave Up Farming.. In many parts of Nigeria, and especially among the hill regions of the northern provinces, baboons are one of the greatest plagues to the farmer and a source of menace to property and even to life. A protectorate officer while engaged in business in a mountain village was informed by the local queen that her people could not continue their farming owing to the raids of baboons. During the absence of the men a few weeks previously these beasts had actually come into the heart of the village and destroyed the crops, according to the Wide World Magazine The natives are in constant dread of them and continually fear for the safety of their children. Sir William Wallace relates that he has seen droves of 50 to 100 of these animals all in single file, and that lately he himself shot two enormous brutes who were grinning at him from the cliffs. They utter a nerve shattering and horrid bark. They possess a regular system of defense and always have signalers out to watch for the approach of a possible enemy. These scouts are always the biggest monkeys and they signal by barks to their comrades when strangers are approaching. Family Heirlooms at Maine Fairs. The Maine town fairs are great places to see family heirlooms which have been handed down from generation to generation without suffering wear or change. Among the curious old pieces shown at Green fair were a blue spread 150 years old, done by an ancestor of Mrs. Mehitable Mower; a towel woven by one of Burgoyne's soldiers while a captive in the revolution, a curious pitchepit of wood used by Solomon Jackson while chorister in a Winthrop church in 1800, and old iron dishes shown by Mrs. Ann L. Fogg. Then there were Mrs. Fred B. Parker's "pumpkin hood," old fashioned straw bonnet, and home woven articles, and much pewter ware belonging to Aunt Polly Sawyer. A bedspread, 125 years old, made by Mrs. Dorcas Dearborn was shown by Augusta Daggett, who also had a hand carved hatchel for combing flax. Great State of Texas. The 25 states which compose the home land of the German empire, including Alsace-Lorraine, have an area of 208,270 square miles with a population of 60,641,278. Texas has an area of 265,780 square miles. After the German empire had been laid down upon Texas in the remainder space of 57,510 square miles it would be feasible to tuck in all of England and Wales with the excption of the tiny county of Rutland. Or if that arrangement should promise to impose too much work upon the Texas Rangers it would be possible to include the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark and Switzerland. Still Texas would have room for a few stragglers. Shoemaker's Candles I well remember some 70 years since, says a correspondent of the Dickensian, seeing flat candles in use. To produce what was known as the flat candle, which was also sometimes called "shoemaker's candle," two newly made "dlips" were pressed close to each other, while soft, and then again lowered into the hot fat, thus holding them together as one candle with two wicks. The size could then be increased if desired. This flat candle was most generally used by shoemakers and tailors, but was made use of in some households whenever an extra bright light for working or reading was required. Not Entirely Unbelievable "Scientists have decided that Methuselah was only 79 years old." "That is more like it. It is absurd to suppose that any man could have lived to the age of 969 years." "Oh, I don't know—there were no automobiles in those days." BIBLE NOT ETHICAL Thirteen Chicago University Professors O. K. the Statement. Holy Book Is Neither the Compendium of Truth Nor Theology, Declares an Official Editorial In the Biblical World. Chicago.—The divinity school of the University of Chicago gave the world another startling bit of advanced theology when the 13 editors of the Biblical World put their O. K. on the statement that the Bible is not a compendium of ethics and never was intended to be. The argument appeared in the form of an editorial in the magazine, of which Prof. Ernest DeWitt Burton, D. D., head of the department of New Testament literature and interpretation, is the editor-in-chief. The associate editors are members of the faculty, and their unanimous approval is necessary before an editorial goes to the printer. Often two or three collaborate on an article. The editorial makes the argument that the ethical methods of Jesus were ideal in that they were elastic and adjusted to fit conditions as they were found. In an interview Dr. Burton elaborated on the presentments made in the editorial in a manner to emphasize what many persons had read between the lines, viz., that Sunday baseball and other personal enjoyment of the Sabbath were not necessarily sinful, in the minds of the 13 professors. Dr. Burton did not mention baseball in his discourse nor did he mention saloons, but he left room for some very plain inferences. As did the editorial, he held that the Bible was not an iron-clad depository of truth and arbi- A. H. Prof. Ernest D. Burton. trary rules of conduct, but a historical record. And no less an authority than Jesus himself was cited in support of his position "The Bible is not a compendium of truth, nor even of theology," said Dr. Burton. "It is a record of religious and ethical experiences rather than the last authority and a composition of all theological truth, such as it is held to be by most churches. "Taking the Bible at the beginning and following it through, we find it ever-changing, according to the conception of the times. We cannot take it as a compendium and opening it say: 'There is the law; there is the truth.'" Parts of the editorial read as follows: "What shall we say concerning the commands of Jehovah in the Old Testament to exterminate the women and children of a vanquished foe? How shall we account for the fact that the Old Testament heroes indulged in polygamy, forbidden, by our modern laws? How can we teach total abstinence from a Bible which represents Jesus as partaking of wine at feasts, and which even tells how he miraculously produced wine from water on one occasion when the supply fell short?" "How, for example, can a Christian gain in intelligent understanding of the issues at stake in the modern conflict between capital and labor if he simply confine himself to a reading of the Bible? How shall he gain defensible moral convictions concerning the ethics of child labor if he confine his attention to a literature which never dreamed of the possibility of modern factories and machinery? "When one turns to the Gospels one cannot fall to be impressed with the way in which Jesus taught morality directly from life rather than by the methods of the scribes. He determined what was right in any instance by examining the situation itself. When sickness needed to be healed the interests of suffering humanity were of more importance to him than the Jewish legislation concerning the Sabbath. "Is it not time that we should cease to apologize for this method of Biblical study which has been universally adopted in our seminaries?" Cure Effected by Radium. The latest use of radium was upon a case of filariasis, or blood worm disease in Paris. In this mosquito-caused disease the blood at night swarms with millions upon millions of microscopic maggots plugging up and inflaming and swelling the kernels in the armpits. A short course of radium in the armpits cured the swelling and made the worms scarcer in the blood. A secret that is worth keeping is, of course, doubly worth telling. . — ~ al . et 4 . 2 . . : #34 The . |], Sh * ACE Dio Greer DAMM sicSoele CREASE AE, | i(, Aaa BS OE . i RON NT t RARE ING ohare NEA - SS it = NG a y' WS } ey “ TIS SAN .

RICHARDSON'S DRUG LICK'S FIRST LOVE AFFAIR Future Millionaire Was Repulsed by Girl's Father Because of His 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 sultor did not possess PATENT DRAWING DRAFTING, DETAILING, TRAC BLUE PRINTING TION A SPECIALTY. 404 Louisiana Ave NW 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 glott 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 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 it is half a gale." "Not even half a gale, and this is such an excellent sea boat that you needn't worry a bit," explained the officer. "Well, what would you call it, please?" said the lady, steadying herself as the vessel rolled. "Just a fresh nor'west breeze, madam, with a cross sea running. But, really, there's nothing to fear."

SET AVERAGE MAN THINKING Could There Be Anything Sarcastic In What She So Quietly Set Forth? "How sad it is," said the Average Man to the Average Woman, "that you are a tiresome creature—considered, of course, from a purely impersonal standpoint." "I am interested," said the Average Woman. "Pray go on—as far as you like. I'm in the mood where real candoor is the only thing I care for. Why then, am I tiresome?" "Because of your limited range. For example, your conversation is exclusively confined to babies and bridge, servants and cigarettes, clothes and cottillons." "How interesting!" exclaimed the Average Woman," "and how true! That suggests an idea. I shall reform." "In what way?" She smiled ambitiously. "Hereafter," she said, "I shall widen my range of thought to include business, sport, woman and the quality of tobacco and rum, interspersed occasionally by the telling of indecent stories." The Average Man had nothing to say. Indeed, for the first time in his life he was actually thinking.—Life. Really Poor Penman. There is a certain Philadelphia physician of considerable prominence who is renowned among his friends as the worst penman in the Quaker city. He used to write them letters and then feel hurt when they could not read them. When he wrote to persons who were not familiar with his scrawl they frequently would not know whom the letters were from. Some time ago he introduced a typewriter into his office, and this rendered the body of the letter intelligible, but did not clear up the difficulty over the signature. Now, however, says the Record, he has had made a rubber stamp bearing his name and address in printing. He signs his name in the usual scrawl, but alongside he impresses his stamp. It is a little humiliating, he says, but he no longer has any trouble about persons to whom he writes not knowing from whom the letters are. What Roads Owe to Salt. Roads, we are told, owe a great deal to salt. According to one theory, the oldest trade routes came into existence as a result of the traffic in salt. One of the oldest roads in Italy is the "Vla Salaria," along which the people of the Sabine country obtained their salt from the salt pans of Ostia. Salt was the main merchandise carried in the trans-Libyan caravans of the days of Herodotus, and salt is one of the chief elements in the trade along the Sahara caravan routes to-day. Salt and salt fish, it is interesting to remember, entered largely into the commerce of the Carthaginians. The latter, by the way, was considered a delicacy in those pre-Christian days. Forced to Guess Answer. It beats all what odd question reach some of the departments of government in Washington. Not long ago the treasury received a letter from a Pittsburg man who had made a bet, asking: "How many cents are there in a bushel?" The answer was not easy to offer. If the man had asked about pounds he might have received a definite answer. As it was, he got in reply a guess from a clerk, that "roughly there are something like $320, or 32,000 pennies." On the Installment Plan. "I dreamed last night that I bought a fine set of books, so much down, so much a month." "Pshaw! There's nothing remarkable about that. People actually do that every day." "Walt a minute. I dreamed I finished paying for them." DON'T STUDY NATIONAL AIRS American Visitor in Great Britain Returns with His Feelings Perturbed. "I wish," growled a man lately back from a tour of the British Isles, "that the British bandmasters would take a course of instruction in what constitutes the American national alrs. Band concerts are the rage all over England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. During the summer season, probably as a compliment to the hordes of Americans who are flinging away gold for their benefit, they present daily what is generally dubbed 'American national alrs.' "The majority of these bandmasters think 'Dixie' is the national air, because they sagely observe it is the only one which Americans applaud. The 'Star-Spangled Banner' is dismal and lugubrious enough under the best of circumstances, but to hear the Scotch bagpipes have a filing at it is indescribable misery. The man who wrote the 'Columbia' hymn would not know his own work as performed in King Edward's domain, and even the 'Kentucky Home' and other negro ballads get a touch between an Irish jig and a Scotch wall which robs the American visitor of any pleasure which he might experience in hearing songs from home. It may be that British, Scotch and Irish guests on this side of the water get as much discomfort in hearing 'Annie Laurie.' I hope they do, for it would establish a sort of international musical balance." PASSING OF PARLOR CARPET Modern Methods of Living Turn to the Rug as the More Sanitary. Modern methods of living are asserting themselves more and more very day. For some peculiar reason man always has assumed the prerogative of supplying what he considered the untilitarian portions of the home, and to woman has been delegated its ornamentation, but in the last few years ideas have been changing in this regard and women have become not only the largest buyers, but the finest judges of the necessities, as well as the luxuries of everyday existence. Only a few years ago the height of womanly ambition in household decoration or idea was a Brussels carpet in the "best room," a floor covering that was often put over a cushion of straw and left to gather dampness, dust and germs, sometimes for years, in the unused parlor. Anyone who has been around at spring cleaning and caught a view of the dirt which has lifted through the carpet was certainly appalled at the sight. For many years this floor covering was considered the acme of elegance, and the woman in comfortable circumstances who would have had the temerity to substitute hardwood floors and rugs for the old-fashioned carpet would have been considered as decidedly eccentric and extravagant. Haunted Alaskan Island. To the south and west of Kodlak, distant about 100 miles, and forming one of the Semidi group, is the island of Chrikof, the haunted island of Alaska. Enshrouded for a great portion of the time with almost impenetrable fog, the Tanna Tribune says, this lonely isle is an object of terror to the natives, who will not go near the island, saying it means certain death to invade the canny confines, and there are few men in the far north who have the temerity to test the truth of the many and weird tales told of this forbidding and barren island. Shipmasters and sailors passing the place assert that the agonizing cries of Russian exiles sent there to starve or die of torture are sometimes heard on quiet nights, while the clink of chains and the sound of blows are testified to in an affidavit by a white man who once attempted to remain there for a week and who lost his reason. Legend Proved True. A curious legend surrounding a country estate in the Meon valley, Hampshire, which has been fulfilled with painful reality, has set the whole country-side talking. The story concerns the death at Corhampton house, Corhampton, of Mr. Campbell-Wyndham, J. P., who on the death of his mother on September 8, last year, succeeded to an estate around which a legend runs that a male heir will not live over 12 months after succession. Mr. Campbell-Wyndham was the first male heir for generations. In the last stage of his illness, Mr. Wyndham prophesied that he would die in bed 12 months to the day his mother passed away, and by a truly remarkable coincidence, he died a few minutes after midnight on that very day. London Mall. Extreme Politeness. "Although he overcharged me terribly," says the returned traveler, "the cab driver who took me over Paris was most pollite." "All Frenchmen are," we observe. "Yes, but this one got off his box and helped me find the necessary profanity in my French-English dictionary, so that I might say what I thought of him."—Exchange. WILL Stick to Dad. "Come indoors immediately!" called a nurse to a small boy whose father was going out. "You won't go to heaven if you're so naughty." "I don't want to go to heaven," was the aggrieved reply; "I want to go with father!"—Brooklyn Citizen. iw Pm reer: RS SEE OEE Ee OP aE EN Ee ee EES er Ce Fre Pree ° is . . “9 Se ‘ .
