VOL.XXX NO 34 NEGRO EXPOSITION goth ANNIVERSARY OF FREE DOM Editor, The Bee: I have received so many letters recently regarding the proposed celebration in the year 1913 of the fifteenth anniversary of the freedom of the American Negro that I deem it wise to ask you to permit me to use your columns in making some reply to these letters rather than in trying to answer each one individually. Motion has already been called to the importance of some, kind of a celebration to take the form of an exposition or something else. Of course, in order to have such an exposition, it is of the first importance that it have the recognition and support of the United States Government as well as that of as many states as possible, for without the influence and help of the central government it would hardly be possible to have an exposition that would reflect credit upon our race. Having all this in mind, the whole matter of such an exposition was carefully put before the President of the United States, and after considering the whole subject with great care, manifesting the deepest interest, it was thought best by President Taft and others who consulted with him that in order to secure the confidence and support of the American people that the whole matter ought to be taken up in a dignified, orderly way and that this could best be accomplished through the appointment of a preliminary and temporary commission by the President, authorized by Congress, such commission to be composed of men of such ripe and wide experience and reputation that their recommendations would carry weight. It would be the purpose of such a commission to study carefully the whole subject, and if deemed wise to recommend the holding of such an exposition, to map out in a general and comprehensive scheme for same. This would prove the basis for an appeal to Congress and to state legislatures and philanthropic individuals for such support as would create an exposition that would command the respect and confidence of the world. Accordingly, a bill has been prepared and introduced into both the House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate carrying out the suggestion of providing for the appointment of a commission. President Taft, further manifested his interest in the proposed exposition by referring to it in the most complimentary way in his recent message. It is believed that the bill introduced into Congress will pass early in the present session. In order to insure the success of the exposition, it is important that we proceed carefully and systematically. No hasty, ill-considered, plan will command the respect and confidence of the American people. I wish to say in this same connection that it is important that the race be patient while these plans are maturing. In the end it will be found that every element of the race will receive proper recognition and be given an opportunity to take part in the exposition. So far as the selection of individuals to take the leadership in the matter is concerned, nothing definite has been done; only preliminary committees have been selected with a view of getting matters in shape to present to the President. After the passage of the bill now before Congress and the appointment of the commission by the President, there will be plenty of time for all organizations, denominations and institutions to receive proper recognition, and I am sure that this will be done. Nothing can be gained, but much less, by any attempt to take short cuts and by doing those things that call attention to little side issues that have no possible chance to succeed. We need in this matter the united effort of all elements of the race, and the evidence so far points to the fact that the race is more united on this subject than it has ever been on any other of similar magnitude, and we hope that this union of the masses of THE BEE WASHINGTON the people will continue. I wish also to add that most careful consideration, before any decision is reached, will be given to the claims of every city or locality that is interested in having the proposed exposition located in its midst. Other information as progress is made from time to time will be given. Booker T. Washinton. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 21, 1909. PROF. N. E. WEATHERLESS, DIRECTOR OF SCIENCE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, D.C., INSTALLED MOST WORSHIPEUL GRAND MAS-ER F.A.A.M. FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. On December 9, 1909, Prof. N. E. Weatherless, Director of Science, D. C., was elected M. W. Grand Master F. A.A. M. for the District of Columbia by the largest vote ever given by the M. W. Grand Lodge for this ancient and honorable position. The installation occurred December 27, 1909, at Masonic Temple, corner Fifth street and Virginia avenue S. E., and the ceremony was performed by the retiring Grand Master, M. W. Brother William A. Warfield. The newly installed Grand Master was entered, passed and raised in 1898 by Pythagoras Lodge, F. A. A. M. No. 9, of which he has been a consistent member ever since. His rise to the highest honor in the gift of the Order has been as rapid as his Masonic career had been unique and interesting. During his ten years in Masonry he has risen from Masonic obscurity to the highest pinnacle of Masonic fame, and that, too, by the sheer force of his own inherent meritorious Masonic worth. A decade ago he was totally unknown to Freemasonry. Today he is without a compere in our Masonic realm, Scientist, scholar, poet, jurist, linguist, ritualist, and orator, he is, without doubt, a Masonic star of the first magnitude, than which there is none brighter; none better. Born since the war of 65, blessed with a father who believed in the best education for his only son, deeply imbued with the notion that equality of opportunity will surely come to him who proves his worth by his work, and especially to him whom no difficulty, however great, discourages—young Weatherless entered upon his career with a favorable disposition toward success. Indeed any young man who realizes, early in life, that man who has been in a position in any line of effort depends wholly upon himself, has his own individual problem more than half solved. The brilliant Masonic career of the present Grand Master dates from his appointment to the position of senior deacon of his lodge in 1898. Within two weeks after his appointment he was called upon to deliver the lecture work of the second degree in his lodge, and so transcendant were his powers of mind for the conception and interpretation of its symbolism, that it was clear to all that he was a man of unusual attainments, rare executive ability, and destined for a most brilliant Masonic career. Coming events cast their shadows before them. Soon his services as a ritualist were in large demand in all the lodges, where he was well and favorably received by all. His meritorious work soon attracted the attention of the older Masons, and he was soon made financial secretary, chairman, and general manager of all the big Masonic events given by the Grand Lodge. So gifted did he prove himself to be for this kind of work that he was in a short while made financial secretary of the M. U. R. A, and M. H. B. A., where his rare genius for Masonic achievement has been so pronounced and of inestimable value to the craft. As financial secretary of the M. H. B. A. he has overhauled, classified and rewritten all the minute details of its voluminous business since 1892, liquidated the remaining indebtedness on the Fifth street and Virginia avenue hall, purchased a hall on Nineteenth street at a cost of $10,000, paid for the same in eight months' time, and for three years has been returning to the craft a liberal dividend on their investment. In Freemasonry, as in his private life everything he has undertaken has prospered. Things somehow seem to respond to his magic touch. Indeed he has the remarkable power of knowing how to take hold of things to get large returns. This faculty, coupled with his indomitable will, unfinishing courage, rugged honesty, sterling integrity and devotion to duty, has deeply endeared him to the entire craft and reared for him a monument in their affections which neither time will destroy nor the corroding hand of years decay. Indeed, in him the craft finds a man in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning from the path of duty and right; a citizen deeply interested in every civic virtue; and a Mason thoroughly devoted to social progress. Few men have wrought so deeply and so well as he in so short a time; none better. This is true whether his career is viewed from the angle of his private life or studied from the viewpoint of his public achievements. "Washington" in 1889, a young man in his teens, he entered Howard University, graduated from the preparatory Department in 1890, College in '94, and Law Department, regular course, in 97, and post course in '99, since which time he has taken regular courses in the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute of Rochester, New York, and Columbia College of New York city. Today he is the head of the Science Department of our public schools, a prominent leader in our business affairs, and the foremost Masonic citizen of Washington City. And how has he accomplished so much and so well? The answer is simple and soul-inspiring: namely, quiet, persistent effort in all things all the time, supported by dauntless courage, possessed by a determination that brooks no obstacle and fears no defeat. Meteor-like has he shot across our Masonic sky, blazing a trail of achievements set in golden splendor. Today the WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JANUARY 1, 1910 PROF. NELSON E.

Maxfield We wish you a happy, prosperous and successful New Year. Official announcement has been made that President Taft on his recent trip visited 33 States and made 265 speeches. He traveled nearly 1,000 miles in automobiles, more than 150 miles in carriages and walked at least 75 miles. It is said that Mr. Taft now holds the Presidential record for speech making on a single trip. A new five cent piece bearing the head of George Washington has been proposed to take the place of the one now in circulation. Mr. Frederic Remington, the noted "Cowboy Artist" died of heart failure, December 26. Mr. Remington was well known as the poet by nature, idealist by instinct, painter by profession and a strong exponent of the simple life. Virginia celebrated her Christmas eve by a lynching in Hurley, a little town near Buchanon County, Va. Gov. Swanson expressed deep regret that the end of the year should bring the first blemish upon the State. The total public benefactions in the United States during the past twelve months was $141,250,000, an amount just $40,000,000 greater than any previous year in the history of the country, according to statistics compiled by a New York newspaper. New York is to have a Negro Deputy Assistant District Attorney Cornelius W. McDougald has been selected to serve. It is said Mr. McDougald had the endorsement of all the leading Negro organizations, business men of greater New York. It is said the Negro race can now boast of having about fifty banks owned and controlled entirely by themselves. Booker T. Washington and his great industrial school, Tuskegee Institute, also all the colored churches in Alabama together with Negro's industrial progress in the South, will be seen for the first time by moving pictures, in Boston, January 4, 1910. It is said this will be the greatest industrial exhibition of its kind ever given in the interest of of the Negro race. Mr. Andrew Carnegie slipped on on an icy spot while walking in Central Park, and injured his knee. He was unable to attend the dinner given at his home for Governor Hughes and to which President Taft had been invited. It is thought the statue of General Robert E. Lee, in Confederate uniform, recently put in position at Statuary Hall, will remain there without fomal exercises of acceptance by Congress, and if Gen Lee's statue had not been accepted, Virginia would also withdraw the companion piece, Gen. George Washington. Every employee of the Capital Traction Company received on Christmas morning in addition to their regular salary a "good will" envelope containing two dollars. As there are about 900 employees of the Capital Traction Company quite a large sum was disbursed in this exhibition of generous remembrance. Prof. W. S. Scarborough says, "The surest proof that the Negro is not indifferent to the things that make for his best welfare is clearly shown by the efforts he has put forth to improve his condition—moral, intellectual and financial." It is said the colared people of Norfolk are complaining that they are being denied high school instruction, and steps are being taken to provide higher training for the Negro children. The supplement to "The Freeman is indeed interesting, nicely gotten up, and does credit to the management. The Negroes of Muskogee, Okla., have organized a Building and Loan Association, with a capital of $50,000, which is the strongest of its kind in the West. This will accommodate the demands from Negroes in the State for loans and etc. The Negroes are coming. Rev. H. H. Scott, of Boston delivered a stirring address before the Boston Historical and Literary Association. Among other things he said: 500,000 American Negroes would go down before 1940, and not until then, will the race get liberty here. United States is the only nation in the world taking liberty from its people, and the United States Negroes are the only placid dark race without Liberty. Rev. Scott is well known in this city as he was the first colored man to keep a book store here. Use of Plantation Melodies at Chapel Services the Alleged Cause of Trouble A recent interview in a morning paper with an anonymous individual claimed that there was among the students of Howard University a spirit of rebellion over the recent singing of some of the plantation melodies at the chapel services. It was represented that the spirit of opposition was so great that the students were on the eve of revolting against the urgent support of the president in behalf of these folk songs of the Negro race. Through the press this has been given wide currency, and, in the judgment of the authorities, tends to do the university positive harm. This has led to the issuing of an official statement of the facts in the case by the authorities of Howard University. In recent weeks, the authorities state, the male glee club has rendered on several occasions several of the folk songs or plantation melodies. In the great university mass meeting under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and History Society at the Metropolitan Church, on M street, these melodies given by the glee club were encoured, with much applause. At two or three recent chapel service, at the request of the president, and under the leadership of Prof. Brown, two of the choicest of these melodies have been sung, the great majority of the students joining in the singing voluntarily and heartily. While a few students have expressed themselves as doubting the wisdom of the general use of these melodies in the public services, there has never been a protest against them nor even an organized request to either the president or to the dean of any department against their use. The attitude of the student body over the gross misrepresentation of them as being in a state of ferment or rebellion is voiced in the following action taken on their own motion and unanimously by the presidents and officers of the classes in the several departments on the campus last Sunday, immediately following the publication of the anonymous interview claiming to represent them. This action states the facts as to the spirit of loyalty: "In the Sunday issue of a Washington morning paper there appeared an article, 'Balk at Folk Song,' which was written, it has been learned, by a student of one of the professional departments not in accord with the spirit of the student body on the campus. The reported interview is entirely out of harmony with both the spirit and content of several addresses of the president of the university on the subject of 'Negro folk song.' "Friday he made a strong plea for the preservation of the noblest and most sacred of these melodies; that the best of them should be as dear to the race as were the psalms to the people of Israel, as they were the expression of the religious spirit and aspirations of a race wring from suffering hearts during slavery He quoted Dvorak, who said that in these melodies was found the only basis for an original school of music in America, and that he hoped that some day we might have here a conservatory where the choicest of these might be brought to their highest expression, and, under some leader, like Coleridge-Taylor, might be developed into oratorios and symphonies. So far from speaking of their use for the 'amusement' or 'entertainment' of the people, he has always dwelt on their sacred associations and their serious religious meaning. "The address Friday was received with rounds of long and enthusiastic applause. "Never before in Howard University has there existed a better and nobler spirit of harmony than now. There is a greater enthusiasm in the student body than ever before. Since President Thirkield has been here the university has taken on a new tone and reputation." Resolution Adopted The faculties of the several departments on the campus and the student body assembled yesterday in the Rankin Memorial Chapel at noon. In behalf of the deans of the several department, Dean Miller offered a resolution which was seconded by members of the faculty and by a score of young men all over the chapel, as officers of the classes of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Teachers' College, the Commercial College, the Academy and the School of Theology. The resolution was as follows: In view of the misleading reports based upon the publication of an individual letter in a local paper, the faculty and student body assembled in the chapel on Thursday, December 23, at noon and adopted the following resolution: "That in all the history of Howard University there has never been a stronger sentiment of loyalty for the aims and ideals of the university, nor greater harmony among the entire faculty and student body." OpenLetter To President OpenLetter To President Washington, D. C., Dec. 27, 1999. Mr. President; It has been announced that it is your intention to name Ex-Counsellor Hemphill, of South Carolina as one of the District Commissioners. Why is it Mr. President that you take delight in appointing men to office who are inimical to the colored Americans? Out of the great number of Democrats in this city is it possible that you cannot select one less objectionable to the people than this South Carolinian Democrat? Of course you are President and it is in your power to appoint whom you please, you have not considered the wishes of the people in these appointments. If it is true that you intend to appoint Mr. Rudolph, I am glad to know it, but by all means appoint a local Democrat equally acceptable. It is believed that you intend to make a few colored appointments. The applicants are waiting like hungry wolves, Mr. President. They expect lightning to strike them at any moment. If the flash should go in other directions, Mr. President, there will be lots of teeth clashing. There are only a few colored applicants in this city for high places Mr. President, and if you will carefully look into their political records, you will be convinced that the clover fields of this city are not agreeable to official apetites. I said some time ago, Mr. President, that the removal of one colored man and the appointment of another will not satisfy your faithful allies. You have some capable and influential colored men in office, Mr. President, and if you want to do the race a service retain these men and appoint others to other places. The colored Americans are not being treated properly in some of the departments, Mr. President. Many of them are treated like slaves. Relative to the fight that is being made upon the reappointment of United States Attorney D. W. Bakes, you will find it to be inaugurated by small men. Mr. Baker is an honest and capable prosecutor. I also said some time ago that Judge Kimball is not too old. His brain is more fertile than any younger man that you could appoint. There are men, Mr. President, who want his place look wise and learned in law but they are found wanting. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for your recommendation to Congress for the appointment of a Commission for the Negro Exposition in 1915—with Dr. Booker T. Washington as director-general, Mr. President. I am of the opinion that the affair will be a success. The depositors of the late Freedimen's Saving Bank are still hoping for favorable action on your recommendation to Congress. Should you decide to make a change in the judgeship of the Police Court, I would suggest that you appoint a pure local Democrat. Many of the Republican applicants are inimical to the colored citizens. If a Democrat is to be appointed, Mr. James Pugh would fill the bill. He knows colored Americans having lived among them in the South for years. I am tired of these Northern Republican hypocrites. Well, your appointments will be announced after the holidays, no doubt. Until then, believe me to be SOME FOOLISH THINGS TO THINK Wilder indorsed for the Commissionership. An attempt to defeat Judge Terrell. Dangerous to apply for an office for which you are not qualified. That a fool will succeed Dancy. That Vernon will be removed. That Tyler will be succeeded before the expiration of two terms. That bachelors will marry after the age of 35. This was unanimously adopted with enthusiasm and hearty applause.

Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Maine to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most persistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of "shook shops" and the manufacture and shipment of shook' and staves to many distant points was his life work. Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast timber acreage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa., also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary's naval career sheds an interesting light on the question of inherited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, transplanted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the interior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father's death Robert E. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors. The whaling industry from New Eng- House Supposed to Be on Site of Waltz Dream. 2 pp—2d p. Peary's Birthplace and to Include Part of the Old Home. land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lumber and many other products, by suggestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adventures. Leut. Peary's distinct ambition to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and its relief He was then a young officer in the navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It is strange how soon we are forgotten. People who knew Lieut. Peary's father are not now certain of his Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the lieutenant's father Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Barker of Ebensburg is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George Charles Peary. However that may be, Mr. and Mrs. Peary on coming into this county located in the woods near what is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally accepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the original Peary home, and is said to actually include a fragment of the old building. It was in that house that Robert E. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Peary's birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. "Kill the horse if you have to," Mr. Peary is alleged to have said to the driver, "but get the doctor here in a hurry." And it's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gallitzin, was buried amid a blizzard, "That was like the north pole itself," says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin. Charles H. Peary's father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his children have resided ever since. George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it possible for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy. RECOND MAND BICYCLES.

He is without protection and yet he is called upon to protect his government when it is invaded by a foreign foe. He is never found wanting in patriotism, neither does he lack bravery when in a conflict with the enemy. Why is he then opposed? Why are his rights disregarded and he oppressed? Ever since his emancipation he has been used by a party which has made declarations and promises. He has been in political contests and used by factions both of which have been often the spoils of office. This humble citizen has lost his political usefulness and today he is a nonenity in the great body politic. In the South he has been disfranchised and declared politically the inferior to those who have, by force of arms and conspiracy have declared that the coveringty of their States must be maintained by the elimination of the colored American from the body politic. What next? He can hope for nothing from that race which has assented that the white man must rule regardless of justice and fair play. Today this citizen is humble. Today he stretches out his sable arms and appeals to a Republic in which anarchism and bloodshed reign supreme. This colored American stands today the anaglyph for mobs. He patiently waits and allows himself to remain not only the anaglyph, but a slave. The brutal instinct of the oppression belches forth like a volcano and in a moment his carcass is obliged and the scene is a spectacle to appease the ravenous appetite of our boasted American Christian civilization. Administrative powers are fast considering the propriety of eliminating the colored American from public offi. Acts show that anything is good enough for him. Places that he heretofore filled are being taken from him and the former enemies of the republic and rebel sympathizers are being substituted. What, then, is the colored Americans' future hope? The representatives of this despised citizenship are silent. They dare not move; they dare not speak, but time alone must solve the destiny of the colored American. NEW PROSECUTING ATTORNEY The name of Cornelius W. McDougald has been announced by Judge Whitman, recently elected District Attorney for the county of New York, as one of the assistants under the fusion administration for four years beginning January 1st. Mr. McDougald is a young colored lawyer who has very rapidly come to the front in New York during the last few years. His selection by Judge Whitman was secured through the influence of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, and other influences of that character. The Bee has been saying all along that Mr. W. V. Cox was making good as a member of the Board of Education. To the surprise of the Bee, a meeting of colored ministers, Dr. S. L. Corrothers and Rev. A. C. Garner, especially have indorsed Mr. Cox for Commissioner. The Bee wants to inform them two ministers especially that Mr. Cox is the self same individual now as he was at the time these two men were abusing him on the school question. The Bee understands it. These men believe that Messrs. Rudolph and Cox will be appointed District Commissioners and they had better get in the band wagon. If the President has not made up his mind to appoint Messrs. Cox and Rudolph all the Colored ministers in town could not change the situation in the least. If the President doesn't intend to appoint Captain James F. Oyster and District Assessor Richardson, no better men could be selected than Messrs. Cox and Rudolph. Regardless of politics the President intends to appoint two men. So far as The Bee is concerned it would as leave to see two simon pure Democrats appointed as it would two hypocritical District Republicans. There are some white Republicans in this city more hypocritical than many Democrats. The colored citizens must get into their heads to support principles and men who are the representatives of good principles regardless of good politics. These ministers are called the band wagon brigade, or crow eaters. IS IT A CONSPIRACY? The alleged rebellion at Howard University is all a myth. The widely circulated report is the work of conspirators. The colored people of this country will wake up one of these fine mornings and be minus of Howard University. It is asserted upon the highest authority that there is no disagreement among the students of Howard University—is it conspiracy? Are there any enemies within? Why should such a report be circulated? It is the conception of a base brain! In another column there will be seen an article given the full particulars of the alleged rebellion at this institution. RUSSIA AND AMERICA RUSSIA AND AMERICA A number of prominent Americans, some in high office, cabled the Russian premier the other day bespeaking "a fair trial, open and public, in accordance with the time-honor principles of justice in all nations," for two distinguished Russian prisoners on the eve of being brought to the bar in that country on political charges. It was a worthy appeal, although unusual, and it is to be hoped will have weight with the Russian authorities. The same day on which this news appeared the wires carried the story of the burning at the stake in Georgia of a Negro man who, in a pistol duel, had shot a white man. The white man was not killed, but a mob assembled, prepared the Negro for torture and did torture him by fire to death. It was explained, in part justification of the mob's work, that the Negro, in his office of preacher to his race in that neighborhood, had been incendiary in his utterances, and the cause of bad feeling between blacks and whites. This story will not reach the Russian premier. It will not carry that far. It has aroused only a languid interest here at home. But let us suppose M. Stolypin informed of the facts and then indicting the following reply to his American correspondents: "Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your cable expressing solicitude for two Russian prisoners soon to go on trial on political charges. You ask that the proceedings be conducted in accordance with the time-honored principles of justice in all nations. Scarcely had I finished reading your favor than I was informed that a human being in one of the oldest states of your Union—Georgia, I think, is the name—had but the day before been burned at the stake in public by a mob of infuriated citizens. Are you citizens of that commonwealth? Or, if not, have you any influence with the authoriities there? In either case may I respectfully ask you to exert yourselves in behalf of law and order in Georgia? Civilization, like charity, begins at home. Our conditions in Russia have been disturbed for some time. In America you have enjoyed over a hundred years of popular rule. Your body politic is thoroughly organized., You have courts, and officers to enforce their writs. What, therefore, explains such a horror as comes to me from your shores? We have some severe forms of punishment in Russia but nothing approaching torture and death by fire at the stake, and I, beg of you, in the name of justice and humanity, to bring your country in this matter within the pale of civilization!" What would be the reply to Mr. Stolypin? A promise to put our own house in order before calling attention again to the condition of his?—Exchange. THE NEW COMMISSION The President might as well appoint Ben Tillman and Manly of Mississippi as to appoint Merriman and his Democratic companion from the South. Why does the President insist on appointing men to office who have been and are now inimical to the best interest of colored Americans. The Department of Justice will commit a great blunder if it doesen't reappoint Mr. D. W. Baker United States Attorney. There has never been a man in the office who has done any more than Mr. Baker. December 21. 1900. To the Teachers and Officers of Normal School.No.2, M Street High School, Armstrong Manual Training School, and the Elementary Schools of the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th Divisions. In appreciation of the loyal and efficient service of the great body of teachers and officers in the colored public schools of the District of Columbia, I beg to extend to every one of you my hearty good wishes for the merriest possible Christmas and the most joyous of New Years. Many and rich as, are the traditions of high service in our schools through a long and notable past, I believe that at no moment of their history has their ministry to the great range of human needs and aspirations among the children of our community been more effective than today. Never has that ministry been more appreciated by such critics as are at once intelligent, informed, worthy and sincere by the great wholesome masses of the people. Right heartily may you, then, enjoy a festival so well deserved. Roland S. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, D. C.

The little girls were conveyed to Martin's cafe were a bounteous feast was served, it being a typical Christmas dinner. In addi- tion to providing the dinner, these ladies also sent two tons of coal to the Home, and have a small balance in cash left which will be used to provided needed things to rthe poor girls of the Home. While the dinner was in progress Prof. and Mrs. E. C. Williams, Mrs. Arthur S. Gray and Mr. Jay Clifford came in the dining hall and assisted in serving the little ones. Dr. James E.

THE NEGRO PEOPLE THE CENSUS OF 1910 AND No people should be more interested in the success of the U. S. Census to be taken April 15, 1910 than the colored people. What is wanted is the truth about the condition and progress of the Negro people. Nine persons out of ten in speaking and writing about the Negro's draw on their imaginations or their prejudices. The 1900 Census is probably the best source of information in the world concerning the Negro race in the United States. Let us see to it that the next census gives us more knowledge and more accurate infor- How is this to be done? Uncle Sam spends millions of dollars and years of labor on the work. It is up to the colored people to see that every man, woman and child is counted; that every dollar's worth of property is recorded, no more and no less; that every child that is in or out of school shall be enumerated. Uncle Sam is the teacher trying to find out how his children are getting along. If you do not report accurately, you cannot expect the teacher to praise you for your merits or to correct you when you are not doing as well as it is possible for you to do. Director Durand of the Census WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FACE LIGHTER COLORED FOR EVERY IMPORTANT OCCASION! YOUR SKIN CLEAR,SMOOTH,FINE! YOUR HAIR LONG,THICK,DRESSY! YOUR PERSONALITY MORE ATTRACTIVE! These samples and our information book and the private letters we will write to you will show you how to have all these improvements. We cannot overcome nature, but as far as your individual characteristics will permit, we can make you prepossessing, presentable and attractive. The editors of colored newspapers will tell you we are responsible. We are doing more for colored people than any business concern in this country. Our mission is not a lofty one like that of Dr. Booker Washington, but in our way, we are trying to do for their bodies, what he is doing for their minds. That Company enables people, white or colored, to improve their appearance. People, who have good appearance and who are prepossessing and presentable, secure better positions commercially and socially and get along better every way. WE WILL BE GLAD TO CORRESPOND, WITHOUT CHARGE, WITH COLORED ENEMY AND COLORED WOMEN WHO TAKE PRESENTATION PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND DESIRE TO BE INFORMED OF DISCOVERIES WHICH WILL BENEFIT THEM SEND TO THE THREE SAMPLES IMMEDIATELY Bureau requests the active cooperation of the colored ministers, teachers, journalists and other leaders of the race in the important work of instructing the colored people in the methods of the enumeration to be taken beginning April 15, 1910. In response to the request of colored people and their friends that special consideration be given to the census of the Negro people, the Director has secured the services of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of Hampton Institute, Virginia for this work. Dr. Jones has for a number of years been studying Southern problems. He is recognized by the colored people as a sympathetic student of their problems. His educational equipment was obtained in the Universities of the South and the North. In 1900 he won the prize fellowship of $650 in sociology at Columbia University and later obtained his Ph. D. degree at the same institution. Since that time Dr. Jones has been engaged in research work among the colored people of the South. The accuracy of the Census depends upon the interest and intelligence of the supervisors, and enumerators who are to ask the questions and also upon the intelligent cooperation of those who are to reply. Dr. Jones will endeavor to use both of these elements. The first task, is to awaken the interest of the Negro people in the census. The second is to acquaint them with the difficulties of the inquiries and prepare them to give correct answers. In this work, the Press, the Church and school are the most effective agencies. From time to time useful information will be used to the public. It is hoped that the Census Bureau will receive the hearty cooperation of all colored people that the next census may be a true picture of the colored people of the United States. CAPT. LYONS Capt. J. W. Lyons, formerly register of the treasury, who has been in this city spending the holidays with his family returned to Covington, Ga., Tuesday evening. Capt. Lyons is looking well and has great hopes for the future of his people. THROUGH COMBAT TO VICTORY Strong, Vigorous Character Arrives at Fruilton by Wrestling With and Overcoming Obstacles. It is the wrestling with obstacles and the overcoming of difficulties that have made man a giant of achievement. If we could analyze a strong, vigorous character, we should find it made up largely of the conquering habit, the habit of overcoming, says Orison Swett Marden in Success. On the other hand, if we should analyze a weak character we should find just the reverse—the habit of failure, the habit of letting things slide, of yielding instead of conquering—the lack of courage, of peralstency or grit. There is the same difference between a self-made young man, who has fought his way up to his own loaf, and the pampered youth who has never been confronted by great responsibilities that would exercise his powers and call out his reserves, that there is between the stalwart oak which has struggled for its existence with a thousand storms, with all the extremities of the elements, and the hothouse plant which has never been allowed to feel a breath of frost or a rough wind Every bit of the oak's fiber has registered a victory, so that when Mr timber is called upon to wrestle with storms and the fury of the sea, it says, "I am no stranger to storms; I have met them many a time before. I feel within me stamina and fiber to resist the fury of any sea, because I have fought and overcome its equal a thousand times." The hothouse plant succumbs to the first adverse wind. AS THEY DO IT IN ENGLAND Family Inherited Postmastership Though the Department Officials Didn't Know It. Forty years before, as quite a boy, Jones had left a little town in Kent. Now, on the first long vacation he ever had had since, he was visiting his childhood scenes. He had remembered that the postmaster's name was Pengelley, and he had remembered, too, that he was a kindly old man. There wasn't the slightest probability, he thought, that the postmaster was still alive, but his acquaintance with the former incumbent might smooth things a little with the new one, so that the whereabouts of people to whom he had been directed would be made known. "What's become of Mr. Pengelley?" he asked, interrupting for a moment his majesty's letter assorter. "I am Mr. Pengelley." "Perhaps you're his son." "Yes, my father's name was Pengelley, too," drawled the Englishman. "I mean the postmaster." "So do I." "Was your father postmaster 60 years ago?" "My word, no! That was my grandfather. You see, our names are all alike, and the post-office department doesn't know but that the first one is alive. We inherit this job, don't you know. And my wife's just prescribed me with a son. There was no haggling over his name." Music, Birds and Snakes. Exceptional love of music would sedound to the credit of any other living creature as indicative of refined taste, but in the maligned snake even this artistic attribute is a mark of derogation. Our own Quakers, for example, take up and indorse the distribe of Epiphanius against the fute-players. "Observe the figure that the player makes in blowing. Does he not bend himself up and down to the right hand and the left, like unto the serpent? These forms hath the Devil used to manifest his blasphemy against things heavenly, to destroy things upon earth, to encompass the world, capturing right and left such as lend an ear to his seductions." And so on. But not a word do we hear in condemnation of the unregenerate birds that carot heedlessly even while the minister is painting the horrors of an unmentionable place.—North American Review. Cheering Her Up. Islington, which is no longer rural, was once so esteemed by medical men that they sent their patients there after severe illness. Many also went there in the last stages in the forbear hope that the invigorating air might restore them to health. A story related by Dr. Abernethy turns on the latter class of visitors. One of his patients engaged some rooms in Islington, and casually remarked to the landlady that the banisters on the staircase were very much broken. "Lor' bless you, mam," said the landlady, "it's no use to mend them, for they always get broken when the undertaker's men bring the coffins downstairs."—London Chronicle.

CAPITAL, $400,000 FIRST OFFERING This is of importance to YOU and and every Negro in the land! 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.

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 them. DCN'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. DO IT NOW.

They pointed out that I had more money than I could ever spend and if I kept on I would own all there was In the world. I replied that I wanted a billion dollars more for my Own use and that I proposed with the two billion I already had to establish @ great institution where all the art- ists and writers and sculptors might work free from pecuniary annoyances, and raise the standard of beauty in all the arts throughout the world.

Henry, Champion Swimmer, “Coming Gver to Teach Us. He ts Founder of the Royal English Soclety Devoted to Rescuing the Drowning—Easy When You Know How, He Says. London.—Remarkable progress in the art of saving Ife from drowning has been made both In Europe and America since the foundation 18 years ago of the English Royal Life Saving soctety which frst organiztd this serv- ice to humanity. William Henry, the founder of this famous _ society, left England recently on a missionary visit to the United States and Canada. After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Otta- wa, Kingston and other Canadian cities, he will give lectures and I llus- trations of life saving in suffalo, New York and other places in the United States. Mr. Henry fs one of those enthus!- ‘asts whose zeal Ig infectious. Belng in the happy position of financial inde- ‘pendence, he devotes most of his time toshis hobby—life saving—and under his direction the society has grown from a small body in 1891, when [t was founded, to embrace more than 600 affilated assoctations and clubs, num- bering over 180,000 members. The governing authorities of schools, |colleges and universities in England }all have come under his sway,. He has visited nearly all the continental coun. ‘tries and has established societies tn Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and Finland, His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australian commonwealth, New Zealand, India, " CRP wile ‘ | See | | Y { BE \ ae ry \ = ee J Sy ee sy NYY If \ = F \ Ae wor ss ee Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and South America; and now he ia off to the schools, colléges and cities of the North American continent in search of converts and recruits. As a swimmer Mr. Henry Is famous not only throughout the United ning- dom but also all over the continent of Europe. He was long-distance cham- pion of England in 1899, salt water champion in 1899, and won the Ilife- saving competition at the Olympic ‘games in Paris In 1900. Besides these ‘he has taken part in numerous inter. national competitions, winning prizes in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden, until today be is the possessor ol more than 600 trophies won In swim ming and life-saving contests. Every school in England which has e swimming club attached to it teaches Mfe-saving as part of the curriculum Examinations are held by the society and certificates granted, and the great progress made may be judged from the increase In the number of certifi cates awarded since these practical ex aminations were instituted. “My object in going to America,’ sald Mr. Henry just before leaving London, “is to try and stimulate the heads of schools and colleges there tc take up life saving and have it taught just as they teach the children te read. The importance of a knowledg: of the best method to rescuscitate ar apparently drowned person ought ts be clear to everybody. “People get drowned in America just as they do {0 England; but hun dreds of lives would be saved if would be rescuers only knew how to go tc work.

Paris—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue In the world, will always be preserved @3 an artistic promenade and a chil- dren's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal council of Paris. The council] not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct sum- ™mer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, look- ing to the removal of some of the, music halls and restaurants now flour- ishing there. This official action {s in keeping with, the true Parisian spirit, The one occasion on which the Frenchman) looses his pursestrings without a mur- mur {fs when an expenditure for mu- nicipal embellishment Is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such Jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely ¢h all ether points, but, whether the govern- ‘ment fs nationalist or socialist, its first alm is invariably to maintain in- tact the artistic Inheritance of Eu- rope’s most beautiful capital. ‘Theré was almost a revolt, 12 years ago, when a tramway company asked @ concession for a track across the avenue in a aide street. This, right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent appli- cation for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threai- ened by an aroused populace. The single track across the drive- |.way has always been regarded as 4 scar. It ts not improbable that In a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tup nel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the clty already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehiclas or marring the beauty of tho ther oughfare through the construction «1 viaducts.

If this proves as popular as Is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tsreets, notably the grand boulevards. ‘The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Cours at first and was given its pres- ent name In the time of Louis XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile long and is lined from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, Ime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite after- noon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is scen to perfection. On one side fs a park. 750 yards long and 40 wide, which 1s filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-gorounds and chocolate ven- ders. Here {dolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bon- hommes caracolfing oti wooden horses, while la bonne, In a snowy cap, holds the babies. At night the thoroughfare, brilllant- ly M!luminated, offers a vivid sugges- tlon of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the “Jungs” of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of im- portance In the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palals, where there are great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two bulldings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre II]. and leads to Napoleon's tomb. * On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees ia the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupled in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon I., Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexan- der I. and Duc de Berri. ‘The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne trav- erse the Avenues des Champs Elysees’ first.

It included, according toa writer In the Xuso, philosophy, political sclence and the physical sclences. He arose at seven every morning and atudied Plato and Greek philos- ophy for an hour before he went to breakfast in his mother’s apartments, The morning from ten to twelve o'clock was devoted to astronomy, in- organic chemistry and general science and the afternoon from one to four to Ristory and jurisprudence.

French, Spanish and Italian fluently. ‘The thesis he submitted for his doc- tor’s degree at the university dis- played a very creditable knowledge of the history of Portuguese literature, On account of the dangers that hedge his throne, his education was conducted In the palace, and its scheme was not generally understood, and consequently misrepresented. It ‘was apprehended that he was being trained as a student and recluse rath- er than as a king. Not long ago, there- fore, he visited the Uniyersity of Coimbra and was received in state by the professors and uproariously by the students. ‘The latter removed the horses from his carriage st the station and dragged him through the atreeta with enthus!- astfo cheering until, carried away by their excitement, he alighted and joined them on foot. In the degree hall he conversed with the rector in Latin, showed such an extensive Ymowledge of contemporary sctence, and criticised a dissertation on ethical philosophy with an astuteness that quickly brought the critics of his edu. cation to confusion, One of the most pleasing features of his life fs the close relationship be. tween him and his tragically widowed mother, Queen Amelia. In his child- hood he used to rise ft six every morning and read poetry and art crit {cisms to her while she painted til breakfast tlme. During the weeks he lay ill after the assassination of his father and brother, she’ nursed him assiduously, performing all that he needed done for him with her owz hands. The habit of breakfasting together fs still kept up, and the young king spends his evenings in her company The following anecdote shows thi closeness of the friendship betweer them, and also the graceful reparte }in which he excels, When during hi | training for the navy he was anxiou } to return to Lisbon to continue hii || studies, Queen Amelia, asked him somewhat piqued, why he was si | eager to leave hor, “Because if I do not leave you a once, I shall be unable to leave yor at all,” he quoted, prettily, from on: of her favorite poets, ,| He ia quite a sportaman, and is ver fond of dogs.

QUEENSLAND’S WATER TREES Wise Rrovision of Nature That le Ons of the Curlositles of the J Region, ba One of the curiosities in natural his tory In the colony of Queensiand is the provision by nature of a supply of water in the roots of certair trees. On these roots the aborigines former- ly depended for thelr water for er eral months of the year, ‘There are several kinds of trees in Queensland from which water can be obtained, including three specios of eucalyptus, and the kurrajong. The eucalypt! consists of a gum, which is the largest of the back country trees, a box and mallee, The first named is the most preferred, as yielding the greatest quantity, This tree resem- bles the red gum in appearance, the leaves being a Uttle narrower and of 8 silvery color. It grows chiefly on sandy or light loamy soll and throws out numerous lateral roots at a depth of about nine inches from the sun face of the ground. The position of these roots was ascertained by the Dlacks by repeatedly jabbing the polnts of a spear or sharpened stick in the soft earth at a distance of about six or elght feet from the trunk of the tree, The soll was then removed with a wooden shovel for some 20 feet or more and the root cut off at either end. This was then cut up into.lengths of about 18 inches, the bark knocked off and the lengths stood on end fn some receptacle to contain water. In many cases the blacks used & beg made of the entire skin of the male wallaby. As soon as all these pieces were plaéed on end the opera tor, beginning with the first placed, put the end in his mouth, and by a vigorous puff expelled the remaining water. The size of the roots chosen ‘was, with the bark on, about the thick- ness of a man’s wrist. The larger ones being more woody and less por- ous, contain little or no water. The water {s beautifully clear, cool, and free from any unpleasant taste or smell. PLEASANT FOR THE TRAVELER Russlan Methed of Safeguarding Czar Necessarily Led to ome Appre- The late Willlam H. Ingersoll, the noted Ife insurange manager, was an authority on insurance. rates. “Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all over the world,” sald a New York man- ager, recently. “The Russian rates are very high. Mr. Ingersoll once ex. Plained to’ me, with a story, why this was, “A traveler in Russia, he sald, no: ticed that the train was all deco- rated with flags and banners, and at every station a comapny of soldiers, and @ band playing the national an- them. The traveler asked a barkeman the reason of all this ceremony. The barkeman, lowering hfs yolce, re- plied: ““E don’t mind telling you, sir—but in the strictest confidence, be {t un- derstood—that a carriage in this train has been engaged for his majesty. But his majesty, as a matter of fact, won't set off till this evening. Thus the plot hatched against him may take effect on this train, you see, and our gra- clous sovereign will be saved.’ “The brakeman touched his cap and passed on, and the traveler, sud. denly grown pale and nervous, stared from the window anxiously,” a SG WaASHIngton. A friend calls attention to the fact that Washington, although comman- der In chfef during the Revolution and again in 1798 during the French war, which did not really happen, did not bear the title of full general. On July 2, 1798, President Adams nomin- ated him “to be lieutenant-general and commander in chief.” This was fol- lowed by the act of March 3, 1798, of which the ninth section read “that a commander of the army of the United States shall be appointed, and com- missioned by the style of ‘general of the armies of the United States,’ and that the present office and title of Meutenant-general shall thereafter be abolished.’ President Adams, jealous for the executive preogative as com- mander in chief, made no appoint ment under this act and Washington died as Heutenant-general. Europe's Highest Villace. “The highest village in Europe” is the Inscription on a post card which shows a group of wooden cottages on @ Dleak hill, with no sign of vegeta- tion in sight and having ss a back- ground a range of Ice-covered moun- tains. The name of the place is Cume agin the Canton Wallis. It les 2,047 meters above the sea level, “where Monte Rosa raises its gigantic head into the clouds.” The village consists of four families, and the latest cen- sus gives it 2 population of 26. “The storms of spring and fall and the snows of the winter months,” says the sender of the card, “make life a dreary one, and still the people look happy, and doubtless they are so.” A Careless Messenger. After a messenger boy had eaten his lunch in a Pearl street restau rant in the New York financial ‘diz- trict, Harry Bohrer, the manager, found a package on the table, and op. ening it he discovered that it con- tained $23,000 in currency and also sufficient negotiable securities to make a total of $50,000. From the papers in the package he belleved the valuables belonged to the state bank, & few doors away, and hurried there with the money.
