VOL.XXX NO 37 Race Progress NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Another Negro bank has flung open its doors for business. It is "The Safety Banking and Realty Company" of Mobile, Alabama. The first day's deposits (January 8th) amounted to $1,890,91. The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000 with $26,045 paid in. Its president is Henry N. Newsome; cashier, James R. Knox; manager of the Real Estate Department, Wm. J. Robinson; stenographer, Miss Sarah J. Duncan. The bank will do business in its own quarters, a three-story brick building, 256 St. Michael Street, which the directors recently purchased. Marion, Alabama, although a small town, is fortunate in having quite a number of thrifty, industrious and well-to-do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of mention are Messrs. S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus. Mitchell who are principally in the grocery business, carrying stock any where from $500 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros., who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five or thirty years ago their father started the latter business, and the sons have continued it ever since, without any competition. They likewise run a truck patch, of two acres, from which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbage this fall besides other garden products. Some of the other frugal and well-to-do farmers are Messrs. Edward Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Towns and Orange Benson, who manage from 100 to 150 acres yearly. H. B. Davis is the proprietor of a cafe for whites. It is very popular and well patronized. He has been in the business for over thirty years and has made money at it. John Williams is a large brick manufacturer, having years of experience, by means of which he has prospered. Wm. M. Alston has been for over fourteen years instructor in the Mechanical Department of the Orphan Home for white children, located at Oxford, N. C. The Home is the Home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Masons of the State The Legislature usually appropriates $10,000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 335 pupils of both sexes in the orphanage — 125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make sash, doors, blinds, and build stairways. He is the only colored person employed therein such a capacity. More than once, efforts have been made to displace him for a white man; but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently refused to need the entreaties of the petitioners, or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudiced. The Silk Manufacturing Company of Rock Mount, N. C., incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,-000, began business, November 15, 1909. It is the only Negro manufactory in the world on so extensive a plan of operation. The work is done in a four-story wooden building with a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 150. On the first floor is the silk factory; the second and third, cotton; on the fourth, there is an evolution of the raw material into the finished products, such as overalls, jackets, aprons and the like. The operatives in this factory are two or three hundred boys and girls whose ages range from 10 to 15 years, together with a goodly number of young women. The officers of the company are, T. W. Thurston, president; O. J. Pittman, vice president; C. F. Rich, secretary and attorney, S. M. Young, treasurer; F. W. Davis, president of the Board. The president and founder, T. W. Thurston, was once manager of the silk mills now in successful operation at Fayetteville and Kinston, N. C., in which there are from 600 to 700 little colored boys and girls skillfully and carefully manipulating the delicate skeins of silk, as they spin around the thousands of bobbins and pass over hundreds of looms. The owners of these mills are Northern white men of New Jersey, but they are run entirely by colored help. The silk and cotton mill of Rocky Mount, however, is altogether owned and operated by Negroes. R. L. Kearney of Greenville, N. C., is another member of the race, who has demonstrated the fact, that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one. A cotton plow with double front points and shares or wings, sweep and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute it a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest making it suitable for breaking very hard or rough land. All parts are changeable. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only one stock, beam and handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demands of the work at hand. DEATH OF ED. BROCKEN- BOUGH Life has its happiness, gayeties and pleasures—death, its sorrow, sadness mourning. Mr. Edwin Brockenbough, son of Mrs. Elizabeth and the late Detective Brockenbough, was buried last Sunday from the family residence on 9th street. Mr. Brockenbough was well known among the social set of this city, coming from one of the most prominent families. After graduating from the high school and attending Howard University, for a while, he enlisted in the army, and served in the Ninth Calvary, where he made quite a record, having been stenographer in the Quarter Master's Department while in the Philipine Islands. On account of the severe heat there his health commenced failing. He had been sick for a long while, but was confined to his bed only two weeks. So his death was quite a shock to his friends. While in Chicago Mr. Brockenbough married a charming young widow from Texas, who was devoted to him. He will be missed by his many friends, and associates who were devoted to him. "In winter's cold day we are passing away." PROHIBITION PASTOR FOUND GUILTY Ottawa, Kan., Jan. 8.—Rev. William Stucky, the ex-minister of Williamsburg, who has been on trial here, charged with abducting Lorena Sutherland, a member of his congregation, sixteen years of age, was found guilty today. Stuckey was convicted on both charges—that of abducting the girl girl for his own immoral purposes, and of abducting her for "white slave" purposes. The penalty is from one to five years on each count. Stuckey, besides being pastor of a church at Williamsburg, was also editor of a prohibition newspaper. Lorena Sutherland worked upon it, and was a member of his congregation. They were arrested at Waukegan, Ill., where they were found living together, last summer. They also had lived in Chicago. The Tuskegee Negro Farmers' Conference which convenes next Wednesday, will be attended by the best farmers from many sections of the South. Mr. Rakestraw expects ten thousand delegates. A big, old fashion barbecue will be given the farmers in the new one hundred and fifty thousand dollar dining hall on the Normal school campus. Garden seeds and important literature are to be handed out free. WASHINGTON SATURDAY JANUARY 22, 1914 P. C. Thorne COMMISSION CUNE H. RUDOLPH One of the New Commissioners of BALTIMORE, MD. BALTIMORE, MD. NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT —DEMOCRATS DESPERATE— $40,000 GIVEN TO COLORED INSTITUTIONS — MISS CUMMINGS MARRIED — MINISTER LYONS IN TOWN Baltimore, Md., Jan. 19.—William L. Marbury, a Democratic attorney of this city, is out with a bold proposition to disfranchise the colored voters of this State as such. He states that it is his belief that the Fifteenth Amendment was never legally adopted. Dr. Lyons Returned Ernest Lyons, United States Minister to Liberia, who returned a few days ago from Tuskegee Institute, where he, Dr. Booker T. Washington and Bishop I. B. Scott had a conference regarding the educational records of Liberia, states that a normal and industrial school modelled on Tukegee lines will be established in Liberia. "The establishment of such a school," says Minister Lyon, "under the guidance of Tuskegee Institute will be unestimable benefit to the Liberians." Minister Lyon, who is in this country on a furlough, is now awaiting instructions from the Department of State regarding the attitude of this government toward Liberia. The Board of State Aid and Charities has recommended that $40,000 be given by the Legislature to various colored charitable institutions during the next two years. This includes $3,000 for Provident Hospital in this city. Miss Estella Cummings, a sister of City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, and Mr. Joseph C. Fennell were married at Metropolitan M. E. Church last Wednesday night. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings is recovering from an attack of neuralgia. BLUE LODGES Now that the masters of the several lodges have assumed the reins of government in the lodges, and that they may be well informed as to their several duties and be made familiar with the general law governing the craft, and get the true interpretation so as to be informed in all their works, I will suggest that they come together and recognize the Masters' Association, organized and maintained while Bro. L. G. Fletcher and O. E. McNeal were living and which done such good work to help the masters of the lodges by having the grand lecturer meet with them and explain the law to them; they could meet at different homes once or twice a week.

S. of America show that the popular feeling of the American people is in favor of the American Government doing all it can for Liberia; therefore Resolved: 1. That the people of Maryland County most earnestly request the National Legislature to endorse all things coming from the United States Government in keeping with the aforesaid propositions. Resolved 2. That the citizens in the various counties of the Republic are most urgently requested to have their meetings and to signify their Ex-President G. W. Gibson, chairman of the Liberian Commission to America in 1908—the Commission that called forth the paternal care of the United States towards Liberia, and has the whole country looking expectantly to that great country for relief, at present.

PLENTY TO DRINK IN SOUTH Prohibition Effective Only for Negroes, Says Reverend Haywood New York, Jan. 9.—Preaching on "The Failure of Prohibition," the Rev. Oscar Haywood gave his impressions of prohibition in the South: "I saw no signs on a recent tour," said Doctor Haywood, "that drunkenness is diminishing, except among the Negroes. I did not see a drunken Negro, but little evidences of drinking among them. I should say that, under Southern prohibition, drink is the white man's vice. "The law is doing what it was intended to do—protecting the Negro; but it is administered by those who claim the right to violate it." Doctor Haywood paid tribute to the motives behind the prohibition movement in the South. It looked to social reformation, he said, and was marked by many instances of noble, voluntary renunciation.

Maxfield It is said the battle ship Uttal, 521 feet long, 88 feet deep, is the largest warship in the American Navy. Mr. R. Nichols, owns 600 acres of fine farming lands, operates 11 horse farm and looks after the interest of 13 families who cultivate his soil. He is said to be the most prosperous colored citizen of Chattooga County, North Ga. Governor Haskell has appointed a colored woman, Miss Minnie A Tumley, Notary Public at Muscogee, Okla. The first colored woman to begin regular practice in dentistry was Gertrude E. Curtis of Bradford, Pa., who graduated from the Philadelphia Dental School with high honors. The first concrete pier on the Pacific Coast, has been completed recently. Extending in a straight line 1,600 feet out into the Pacific Ocean, this is the latest example in wharf construction at Santa Monica, and is said to be the largest in the world. When the United States formally occupied Porto Rico, which consists of 10 islands, only about 15 per cent. of the people could read and write. Now, the per centage has increased to between 25 and 30, and about 1,700 public schools. The United States used last year, four thousand cords of wood in the manufacture of paper. The increase has been doubled in ten years. It is said the French Government has purchased another one of Tanner's pictures for its national galleries. It will be remembered that Henry Ossawa Tanner, is a colored American by birth. It is said a letter has been sent to President Taft by Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, President, and N. F. Moss, secretary of the Constitutional League, relative to "Jim Crowism." in the navy. Mrs. Julia Hanley, who died the last Monday in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 111 years, was a slave on the Beecher plantation, and was brought to Cincinnati by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe from which it is said the famous author obtained much of her material for "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Dr. John Shannon, pastor of the Metropolitan Memorial M. E. Church, said: "There is now one divorce to every twelve marriages in the United States. The divorce rate is increasing to such an extent that our country leads in the ratio of divorces to marriages. We abhor the polygamy of Mohammedan, Syria, but we have to recognize the fact that there is a progressive polygamy practice today in certain portions of American society. It is said that Arthur E. C. Middleton, who has been selected by President Taft as judge of the Police Court to succeed Judge Kimball, is well qualified for the position, and will make one of the best judges Washington has ever had, as he is an accomplished lawyer and in every respect qualified to discharge his duties. Jack Johnson, the champion heavy weight, applied for a telephone for his home, and was given number, Douglas 1313. His friends are much disturbed that he should have accepted the number on account of the omen connected with it. Insanity is increasing in New York State at the rate of 1,000 persons a year, said Miss Mary Clark, in addressing the State Charities Aid Association of which she is secretary. In October 1, 1909, there were 30,489 insane patients in fifteen hospitals. For the first time in the history, the United States Government is to officially recognize the birthday of Gen. Robert E.

PEARY'S BIRTHPLACE Explorer First Saw Light of Day Near Cresson, Pa. Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherrited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Malne 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. Malne 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 H. 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 --- ff f Legato. pp rit. dim. tempo. ril. rit. rit. tempo. dim. 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 burled 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.

PINAUD Bldg., New York Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Psephograph" to Foll Ballot Box Stuffers. Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the palmiest days of corruption in New York politics, soon will find their occupation gone. An Italian civil engineer, Signor Gogiano, has invented a voting machine which, it is claimed, is absolutely ungetatable" and incorruptible. He calls this invention the psephograph.

The psephograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him. After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lever to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a little tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system 27,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Alding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montagliari, Italian charge d'affairs at Washington; has remitted to Miss Mabel Boardman of Manchester, Mass., and Washington, a golden crown, the gift of the Italian government in recognition of her services as a member of A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: "To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1908-1909." Miss Boardman, as the executive head of the Red Cross society, recently announced her intention to devote her life entirely to its interests. She is the sister-in-law of Senator Crane and was a member of the famous Taft Philippine party. While visiting Japan she saw the evidence of the work of the Red Cross in the Russo-Japanese war and was impressed with the boundless possibilities of the movement. She is an intimate friend of both President and Mrs. Taft. She Won't Waste the Rope. Give a woman plenty of rope and she will hang—her washing on it. Mme.

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

A local contemporary said a few days ago, in his paper that he would make war on the saloons and the liquor traffic in this city. This individual by hard struggle gets out his publication. The editors are employed under the government and were it not for there government jobs, undoubtedly their publications would die a natural death. This same publication declared that it would not publish an advertisement of a saloon. If its readers will carefully read the columns of this publication they will see one whiskey advertisement for which the editors were given five dollars and notwithstanding the expiration of the time for which the advertisement was to run, it continues in this publication. Some few years ago a colored organization started out to close up all dry goods and shoe stores and apartment houses that refuse to employ colored salesmen and women. The white houses could not be coaxed in giving employment to colored girls and boys so it died a natural death. Then a shoe store was started by a colored man who had been formerly employed in Holmes store as a porter and quasi salesman. Appeals were made to the colored people to purchase shoes from this man because he was a colored man, but all without avail. This colored firm did not sell shoes enough to pay rent. Some colored people can do more idle talk than any other nationality in this country. They have been talking so long in this city until they have almost talked themselves out of their homes and it will only be a question of time before they talk themselves out of the control of their public schools. There is something radically wrong some where. The Bee is preparing a history of the colored schools in this city, showing their defects and why they fail and what now is needed to make them succeed. There is too much idle talk among colored people in this city. If they start an enterprise, they will get tired before they finish it and abandon the job. If you place some of them in positions of honor and trust they talk themselves out before the expiration of their term. This is a great place for inviting new orators to make speeches. The people go wild over a new man. He can get anything from the natives and almost do anything. A man with a back record is less talked about in this city than a new man with no record at all. There are talkers on the sham order who have more influence over the people than any other class of individuals. Talkative shams control the social circle. HON. CUNO H. RUDOLPH When President Taft nominat- ed Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph and General John A. Johnson Commissioners of the District of Columbia to succeed Messrs. West and Macfarland, he carefully considered the fitness of the two men. Mr. Rudolph is beyond all doubt one of the cleanest and best known men in this city. Mr. Johnson is equally as well known as Mr. Rudolph. Both men have great executive ability and The Bee is confident that thty will run our local government upon strict business basis. Mr. Rudolph, of course, is better known to the people of Washington than General Johnson. He has mingled among them. He knows their likes and their dislikes, and as well as their wants. The Bee is confident that they both new Commissioners will give all the people a square deal. There is no reason that the colored citizens wso pay taxes on over ten million dollars morth of property should not have representative places in our local government. The Bee believes that the new Commissioners will see the colored Americans in this city in a different light in which they have heretofore been observed or seen. The Bee believes that the ninety thousand colored citizens of Washington will be treated as citizens. There is no reason or excuse to ignore the claims of ninety thousand colored citizens. Just think of it. There are only four colored clerks employed in our local government, to wit: Messrs. David Warner, Montague, Langton and Cheek. There is a young man employed in the Water Department by the name of Alexander Lewis, as a messenger and who knows more about that department than his chief. He is fully competent and yet no Engineer Commissioner has seen fit to promote him. The Bee will look for better treatment of colored men from the two new commissioners. The Bee is of the opinion that colored citizens will be recognized as citizens. The Bee is of the opinion that both Mr. Rudolph and General Johnson will see that all prejudice and discrimination against colored Americans be entirely eliminated. Both of these gentlemen will please accept the sincere congratulations of the colored citizens of Washington and The Bee with the hope that they will receive recognition at their hands. KNOCKERS colored man is not the only knocker in the United States. Well, there are as many knockers among white people as there are among the colored. The The Bee finds the small white man doing dirty work as it finds the small colored man. If the knocker is not nominated for the particular job that he is anxious to get he will knock his more successful competitor. President Taft had a merry time with the knockers when he was selecting the two District Commissioners to succeed Messrs. West and Macfarland. The President has the same trouble with the new Judge of the Police Court. The knockers are saying all kinds of things about him. The fight on Mr. Middleton by the friends of Judge Kimball will not help their candidates. The President has determined to appoint a successor to Judge Kimball and whether Mr. Middleton is or is not confirmed a new man will be judge of the Police Court. A man to be judge of the Police Court should be a broad guaged individual like Mr. Middleton. The knockers have told the President that Mr. Middleton has never practiced law. A man can be a lawyer without being on a dress parade before the court all the time. Washington must be the most crooked city in the United States because straight men from the stand point of the knockers are hard to find. JUDGE MIDDLETON The appointment of Judge Middleton of the Police Court to succeed Judge I. G. Kimball meets with universal approval. The policy of Judge Middleton will not be to fill the jail and work house with minor offenders, nor will he impose fines to increase the revenue of the District treasury. Judge Middleton is a humanitarian. He believes in the probationary principle. The Bee has never thought it right or just to convict an individual because he has made one mistake in life. The record of Judge Middleton is of such a character that will warrant his speedy confirmation by the Senate. There is no reason that he should not be confirmed at once. The Attorney General has found a man of his own temperment. He has selected a man who is firm in his convictions as well as just to all classes regardless of color or conditions. The Bee knows Judge Middleton to be a man learned in law as well as a man who has a heart. This is the kind of a man Judge Middleton is and the kind of a man who should be judge of the Police Court. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` PROF. JOHN T. LAYTON Washington's Greatest Musician. PROF. JOHN T. LAYTON The musical director of the colored schools, Prof. John T. Layton. is no doubt the proper person to be at the head or in charge of the music for the Exposition in 1913. Prof. Layton has made a record of which he should feel proud. Prof. Layton has won his way to the front ranks in music by hard work and strict applications to duty. He has not won his way by favoritism, but by competitive examinations. In every instance he has won. Just think of it, one thousand voices at the Exposition in 1913, conducted by the greatest colored 1930 T JOHN W. PATTERSON, ESO. Mr. John W.

No records for whites alone were kept until 1905. During that year the white male teachers received an average salary of $42.21. In 1908, this had been increased to $52.29. For the white women teachers in 1905, the salary was $29.33. In 1908, this had been increased to $39.12. SEND ME THE BEE Do send me The Bee, For I do not see, Why I did not know So long ago.

The musical department of the colored schools have never been in a better condition than it is today. Prof. Layton is a man who takes interest in his work and there is no doubt that chorus of one thousand voices in every branch of music would be a great acquisition to the Exposition. The Bee has the most implicit confidence in the ability of Prof. Layton to give the American people one of the greatest musical renditions that has ever taken place in this country among colored Americans. ```markdown ``` Payntor Harvey one of the oldest and highly respected citizens of Washington. Mr. Harvey had been sick only a few weeks. He contracted a heavy cold and which forced him to his bed in which place he remained until his death. Mr. Henry was the young man who handed his trowel to Ex-President Roosevelt the Sunday the Y. M. C. A. building was dedicated. The funeral took place from his residence in Defrees street two Sundays ago. The ceremonies were impressive and the testimony of young Harvey made a lasting impression on those who heard it. Mr. James H. Dabney was the funeral director. Mrs. James H. Dabney, the well known embalmer and funeral director is at her home quite sick. It is hoped by her friends that she will be able to be out soon. IT IS KNOWN That a few municipal Court judge candidates have been disappointed. That Judge Strider will be confirmed. That Judge Middleton has been appointed judge of the Police Court. That Ralph W. Tyler is a great journalist. That Dr. Booker T. Washington will not recommend a fake journalist as one of the Exposition Commissioners. That Dr. Warfield will not be succeeded by a fool. That President Taft will not appoint any man to office in the District of Columbia who has filed false charges against an individual. That a real man will be taken care of by the administration. That Sidney Bieber has become disgusted with fakers. That The Bee leads and all others follow. OUT OF THE GINGER JAR The ruler of the roost provideth not the egg. "Time flies,' cries the lover. "Time crawls," moans the prisoner. One can very often cut down his expenses by cutting out his extravagances. The man who is always putting his foot down is pretty-sure in time to encounter a tack. The "sundries"item in a man's personal account may often cover a multitude of sins. A boil is the result of a humor in the blood, but few victims see anything funny about it. Occasionally we meet with people who are like some of the modern bedsteads—all brass. No matter how many entries there may be in the race of life, the clock is right there at the wind up. It is odd, isn't it, that in a world full of lost buttons one never by any chance comes upon a lost buttonhole? If you depart while your host still wants you to stay You're sure of a welcome when next you're that way. Be wide awake, hustle, and make tracks, but do not, on any pretext, make muddy ones on your wife's best carpet. It does not necessarily follow that the one who can indite the most sentimental valentine will make the best mate. "Are you the mate?" asked the landsman, as he went aboard the ship. "No, sir, I'm the man that cooks the mate," replied the Irish cook. A man has invented a clock that needs to be wound but once in 10,000 years. Unfortunately, however, one is apt to forget in that time where he put the key. If the wives who are obliged to account to their husbands for every cent they get, were to turn the tables by demanding an audit of the tobacco and beer expenses, things would be different.—From February Farm Journal. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW If the last candidate for recorder of deeds has filed his application. If Postmaster General Hitchecock is not aware that that there were traitors in the last Presidential contest. If its friend Miles C. Maxfield will even reform the colored race. If Attorney Louis G. Gregory has decided to remove East. If the kickers know that Judge Terrell has been confirmed. If Ex-President Roosevelt has decided to become a candidate in 1912. If Rev. Walter H.

W BOARD AND McGUIRE CASE CALLED FOR SYMPATHY Life of Single-Blessedness Made No Appeal to Battered-Up Married Woman. Apropos the discussion of the advantages of married life recalls the experience of a certain bachelor most of some forty summers and some winters. She has had proposals enough so she says, but she prefers single-blessedness to pouring coffee, mending socks and spanking babies. She recently began devoting much of her time to working in the slums, particularly among the women and children. A pitiful case was recently brought to her attention to care for. A woman had been cruelly treated by her husband, who, as a final act, beheaded her out in the street. The poor, suffering creature, ragged and disheveled, reported at the charity headquarters and begged for shelter. Miss J——dressed her wounds, gave her something to eat and then started a sympathetic conversation with the sufferer. The latter, after recounting at much length the injuries she had borne at the hands of her liege, lord and master, asked a few questions to satisfy her womanly curiosity about her new-found friend. "Live here?" she inquired of Miss J. "No," was the reply; "I spend only a part of my time here during the day. My home is way up in Harlem." "You're married, ain't you?" was the next question. "No, I'm not married; and I may never be." The poor, wretched woman opened her bruised and swollen eyes as best she could to get a look at her friend, gazing at her in amazement. "My, my!" she said, sympathetically. "I'm awfully sorry. Say, but don't it fierce to be an old maid?"—New York Times. French Forest-Making. A striking example of scientific forestry is furnished by the coast of France, chiefly in Gascony, where in 1793 tree-planting was begun in an attempt to fix the sand dunes, which the winds were steadily pushing inland over the vineyards. Pine forests have now covered 275,000 of the 150,000 acres of dunes. About $2,000,000 has been spent on the work, with $750,000 more for forest administration, but the state has received $120,000 more than the cost, while the 125,000 acres still retained have a value of $18,000,000. Further inland, about 2,000,000 acres of worthless shifting sands and marshes, in the triangular area of the Landes, have been converted into profitable pine forests since the middle of last century. This work, mostly done by the communes, has created a property worth $100,000,000, as valued from the present yield of pine timber and resin. Invited to Stay All Night. The Hostess—It's storming so hard that I guess you'd better stay all night, Mr. Scoresby. The Dinner Guest—I'm afraid I would put you to too much trouble, Mrs. Brown. The Hostess—Oh, not at all! Let me see. I can sleep on the library benches, and Jane and Martha and Mia and Aunt Mary can room together, and there's a mattress we can bring down from the attic for Willie, and Mr. Brown will do nicely with a blissful on the parlor rug. It's no trouble at all, Mr. Scoresby. The Guest—You're very kind, but I'm quite sure the rain is stopping, and I've an excellent umbrella. Just as much obliged.

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 3 ```markdown ``` Building Co.

ADVISORY BOARD CLAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock, consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lizenda 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. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

The same record which reveals this break records also its instant repudiation and punishment. It was on the fourteenth day of January, 1655, 25 years after the settlement of Boston, according to the qualit records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated. The old chronicle runs: "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Selectmen were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz., John Pigeon, to put in about a dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of 'em, being charged with so doing, he acknowledged it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay a Fine of Five Pounds for putting in the settlement of Boston."

John T. Rhines and Company Wm. Henry, Champion Swimmer, Coming Over to Teach Us. He Is Founder of the Royal English Society Devoted to Rescuing the Drowning—Easy When You Know How, He Says. London.—Remarkable progress in the art of saving life from drowning has been made both in Europe and America since the foundation 18 years ago of the English Royal Life Saving society which first organized this service 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, Ottawa, Kingston and other Canadian cities, he will give lectures and illustrations of life saving in Buffalo, New York and other places in the United States. Mr. Henry is one of those enthusiasts whose zeal is infectious. Being in the happy position of financial independence, he devotes most of his time to his hobby—life saving—and under his direction the society has grown from a small body in 1891, when it was founded, to embrace more than 600 affiliated associations and clubs, numbering 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 countries and has established societies in Italy, Germany, Sweden, Franco and Finland. His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australian commonwealth, New Zealand, India, A. William Henry, Champion Life Saver, Who Is Coming to America. William Henry, Champion Life Saver, Who Is Coming to America. Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and South America; and now he is off to the schools, colleges 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 Kingdom but also all over the continent of Europe. He was long-distance champion of England in 1899, salt water champion in 1899, and won the lifesaving competition at the Olympic games in Paris in 1900. Besides these he has taken part in numerous international competitions, winning prizes in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden, until to-day he is the possessor of more than 600 trophies won in swimming and life-saving contests. Every school in England which has a swimming club attached to it teaches life-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 certificates awarded since these practical examinations were instituted. "My object in going to America," said Mr. Henry just before leaving London, "is to try and stimulate the heads of schools and colleges there to take up life saving and have it taught, just as they teach the children to read. The importance of a knowledge of the best method to resuscitate an apparently drowned person ought to be clear to everybody. "People get drowned in America just as they do in England; but hundreds of lives would be saved if would-be rescuers only knew how to go to work. In every part of the world there are hundreds of abortive efforts at rescue every year. Frequently what would have been a single tragedy is turned into a double one through the absence of a little knowledge on the part of the would-be helper." Trade's Talons Not to Grip Famous Champs Elysees. Not Even a Philharmonic Palace Will. Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thoroughfare and Children's Paradise Along Its Course. Paris.—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved as an artistic promenade and a children'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 summer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, looking to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flourishing there. This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman looses his pursestrings without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 12 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threatened by an arused populace. The single track across the driveway has always been regarded as a scar. It is not improbable that in a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tunnel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the city already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehicles or marring the beauty of the thoroughfare through the construction of viaducts. The first of these ```markdown ``` Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysées, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as its expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tstreets, 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 Courts at first and was given its present 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, lime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite afternoon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side is a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-go-rounds and chocolate vendors. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the babies. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the "lungs" of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of importance in the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, 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 buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Punt Alexandre III. and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees is the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon I. Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander I. and Duc de Berril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bois de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first.

Washington—Not many tourists visit the house in which the mother of George Washington lived and died in Fredericksburg, Va. The Washington, or the branch of that large Washington family which played so great a role in American history, left the Pope's Creek's farm, later called "Wakefield," in Westmoreland county, about three years after the birth of George Washington. The family removed to another Washington farm in Stafford county on the north bank of the Rappanhannock river, opposite Fredericksburg. It was there that much of the boyhood of Washington was spent. It was there that the mythical exploits of chooping down Where Mother of George Washington Died. the cherry tree, etc., were performed. After George Washington and his brothers had left this farm and after the marriage of Betty Washington to Maj. Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg, Mrs. Mary Washington bought a cottage in Fredericksburg, close to "Kenmore," the home of her daughter, and resided there many years. She died in that cottage August 25, 1789. The cottage is a plain two-story frame dwelling standing at the corner of Charles and Lewis streets—two village streets deep in dust or mud according to the weather. The house is heavily shaded by old sycamore trees and is furnished with Washington and other Virginia relies. It is owned and cared for by the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The superintendent is R. C. Beals, who with his wife occupies the house The big living room on the ground floor and to the left of the entrance is that in which Mrs. Washington died. As nearly as possible it is preserved as Mrs. Washington kept it. A rare old mahogany tester bed stands on that part of the floor where stood Mrs. Washington's bed. The original bed is owned by a member of the Washington family. The walls are lined with steel engravings which belonged to Mrs. Washington, and some of these were her property when she was Mary Ball, before her marriage to Augustine Washington, and came from her girlhood's home, "Epping Forest," in Lancaster county, about thirty miles from Fredericksburg. The room in the rear of this living and sleeping room was the dining-room, and the same table around which the Washingtons ate stands in the middle of the floor. The dining-room is bare of carpets or rugs and was in Mrs. Washington's time. The furnishings are plain and simple. HEADS BANKERS' ASSOCIATION Lewis E. Plerson, President of Big New York Financial Institution, Honored by Chicago Convention. Chicago.-Lewis E. Plerson, president of the Irving National Exchange bank of New York, was unanimously elected president of the American Bankers' association at the convention recently held in this city. President Plerson is 38 years of age A. Lewis E. Pierson. and a native of Metuchen, N. J. He was appointed cashier of the New York National Exchange bank in 1898 and subsequently was made vicepresident. He assumed the presidency January 12, 1904, at the age of 33 years. The New York National Exchange bank absorbed the Irving National bank in 1906, and Mr. Pierson retained the presidency of the enlarged institution. Howell, Ind.—Bullfrogs are a live political issue in Howell, which is surrounded by ponds teeming with frogs. At the municipal election an independent candidate for mayor with a platform advocating extermination of the frogs by filling in the ponds will run against candidates of the regular parties. Apparently he will be elected. Yarmouth Scenes Which Dickens Described In His Story of "David Copperfield." London.—A Yarmouth hundred of herring really counts 132, and in many ways the inhabitants of the old town are credited with an open-handed generosity. Peggotty told David Copperfield, you remember, that it was the finest place in the universe, to which the boy replied that "a mound or two might have improved it, and also that if the land had been a little more separated from the sea and the town and the tide had not been quite so much mixed up, like toast and water, it would have been much nicer." But A presently, when he got into the streets and "smelt the fish and pitch, and oakum, and tallow, and saw the sailors walking about and the carts jingling up and down over the stones." Young Copperfield admitted that he had done Yarmouth an injustice. The remains of Peggotty's hut may still be seen, sad and forlorn, alas but suggestive nevertheless of the quiet home where David was so happy, of Peggotty's jokes, of little Emily's pretty ways and of the dolefulness of Mrs. Gummidge. There are many ancient buildings that have stood the test of time better than the queer boat-home of Peggotty. Formerly Yarmouth was one of the principal ports of England, and its merchant adventurers enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth. Its Tolhouse claims to be the oldest municipal building in the kingdom. WILSON WILL GO TO MEXICO Minister to Belgium to Succeed Ambassador Thompson in Neighboring Republic. Washington.—Henry Lane Wilson, American minister to Belgium, will soon be officially named to succeed David E. Thompson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Wilson has been notified of his appointment by the state department and is clearing up his business at the legation in Brussels pending his departure for his new post. Mr. Wilson, who is a native of Crawfordsville, Ind., has been in the diplomatic service since 1897, when he was appointed minister to Chile. He [Illustration of a man in a suit with a mustache.] Henry Lane Wilson. became minister to Belgium in 1905. Before entering the diplomatic service Mr. Wilson was successively editor, lawyer and banker. He is a graduate of Wabash college. Bachelor must be a Courier. Concert givers in Germany find it more and more difficult to get an audience. Free tickets by no means insures one. A Berlin-journal tells how audiences at recitals (Berlin often has more than 50 of them in one week) are apt to be made up. Miss N., who plays or sings, sends out about 200 tickets, some of them to prominent persons. One of these is the wife of Prof. X. She kindly accepts the ticket, but has no intention of attending the concert, so she gives them to her dressmaker, who in turn bestows them upon her assistants, who probably may go to the concert. In one case it was found that of 200 free tickets only 47 were used.—Musical America. Pulsation and Respiration. Before birth the average number of pulsations per minute is 150; in the newly born, 140 to 130; during the first year, 130 to 115; second year, 115 to 100; seventh year, 90 to 85; fourteenth year, 85 to 80; adult life, 80 to 70; old age, 70 to 60. At birth there are 44 respirations in one minute; at five years of age, 26; from 15 to 20, 20; from 20 to 25, 18.7; from 25 to 20, 16; from 20 to 50, 19.1. The average ratio which the number of respirations bears to the number of pulsations in a given time is 1:4½. The temperature of a healthy human adult averages from 98.4 to 96.6, but 97.5 and 99 F. are within normal. CHAS H. JAVINS & SONS, ...FISH:...
