VOL.XXX NO 38 The Great Educator THE LECTURE ON EGYPT Brilliant Lecture Last Night at Bethel Baptist Church (Florida Times-Union, Jan. 20, 1909.) Last night at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, one of the most refined and appreciative audiences that has congregated to hear a noted lecturer in the spacious auditorium of this church, made the coming to this city of Dr. James E. Shepard and his party a notable event of the season. Seated upon the rostrum with Dr. Shepard were Dr. A. M. Moore, Hon John Merrick, Prof. C. C. Spaulding, the gentlemen from Durham, N. C., now touring this state and Cuba; Rev. J. E. Ford, pastor of the church, and others. Rev. Ford, in his usual flow of eloquence, in introducing Dr. Shepard made a resume of the events that have occurred during the remarkable career of this illustrious young, modern patrician, that made him an international charactertr. Dr. Ford fittingly told of his unceasing devotion to Sunday School work, and being a member of the World's Sunday School executive committee, in touch with the greatest organization of young people of the world. As a traveler and lecturer, he said that nature had so endowed Dr. Shepard that this son of the Ethiopian race has visited the principal nations of the world and thousands have heard him during his trips abroad. As president of the New School of Methods and Chautauqua, the first institution of its kind for the Negro. Dr. Ford spoke of the confidence of President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt and the leading men in all phases of our national activities had in Dr. Shepard. As an evidence of this fact he referred to the members of the various boards of his institution being composed of some of the leading white men from many sections of the United States, and especially the eminent men of the South. He said that this noble exponent of developing the best that is in you, is a pharmacist and physician. These professions he abnegates for higher usefulness and is a responsible and substantial business man of North Carolina. Upon rising from his seat Dr Shepard was given an ovation. In the opening of his lecture on Egypt, Her Past, Present and Future, he told of the advantages of a study of history. These advantages are, he said: "To learn the mistakes of men and nations of the past; to commune with those gone before and hear a recital of their deeds, their temptations, trials, defeats and triumphs." He especially emphasized that the Negro must study history for a full appreciation of his mission upon earth and what his people have done for this civilization. Showing the good that man derives from a knowledge of past events, he further said: "History incites inspiration, and makes man attempt achievements. In proving why all great people always keep before them their history," he said, that "history inspires to nobler and better things, and is the most valuable legacy handed down from one generation to another." Dealing, first with Africa, the speaker became eloquent and forceful when he, in a descriptive manner, opened the greatness of the continent of which Egypt is a part, gave these wonderful facts. In this country there is 12,500,000 square miles of territory. In gold, Africa is the richest country in the world. This astounding truth was revealed: "There is as much gold in sight in this territory untouched as there is money in circulation in the world. Nine-tenths of all of the diamonds in the world come from Africa. Comparing the number of black people against the white population, he disclosed the fact that there were 100 black persons to every white, and yet the country is under alien rule. After giving many interesting facts so appreciated by his audience that applauded him for his knowledge of the mother country, the speaker took up Egypt, and gave a history of its past. He traced the origin of the Egyptians, and quoted such authorities as Sergi, Maspero and others regarding the Africanic origin of the Egyptians. In making this statement he again elicited prolonged applause: "An orator in North Carolina, in an outburst trying to prove the Negro unworthy of citizenship, said: "The Negro sat 3,000 years by the bank of the Nile and never made a sail.' To those who believe such, the speaker, in his forceful oratory, pointed to the fact that "10,000 years before historical knowledge began, the Egyptians were fashioning flints of the desert into knives and weapons of the uttermost perfection. They were making cords and mats, and skiffs out of the rushes from the marshlands. They were carving in wood and ivory and other things common to their country." He said that many of the secrets of the Egyptians are lost and that we have not attained to their perfection along many lines. To them, he claims that we owe embalming, lifting great stones, and other ideas of mathematical proportion. He impressed upon his audience that "The achievementst of the past, if they are our ancestry, amount to nothing, unless our children improve upon the works of their fathers. Each succeeding race and generation ought to be an improvement upon those gone before. He again brought applause when he said that "nothing is permanent unless founded upon JOHN F. COOK John F. Cook, seventy-six years of age, one of the prominent colored residents of the National Capital, former member of the board of school trustees and at one time collector of taxes, three times delegate to Republican National Conventions, a member of the board of aldermen under the old city government and also register of the city, died at his home 18 16th street northwest. Friday morning at 7 o'clock. Death was due to paralysis. He suffered a previous attack about one year ago. Early this morning he was stricken again and began steadily to sink. Physicians were called. When they arrived he was dead. Family at Bedside Gathered about the bedside when the end came were his wife, Mrs. Helen Appo Cook; his daughter, Miss Elizabeth A. Cook, and a son, Charles C. Cook. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. It will probably be held from the Fifteenth Street Colored Presbyterian Church, founded by Rev. John F. Cook, father of the man now dead. He has three other sons, John F. Cook, Jr., and George F. Cook, both northern Idaho, and Ralph V. Cook, of Baltimore. All have been communicated with by telegraph. Native of Washington John F. Cook was born in this city September 21, 1833. He was educated partly in the school taught by his father, at Central College, New York, and at Oberlin. He himself taught school here for a short period, and subsequently taught a school for free colored children in New Orleans until the approach of the civil war in 1860, ended that service. Returning to this city he resumed his work of educator until 1867, when he accepted a clerkship in the office of the collector of taxes for the city of Washington, being the first colored man to hold such a position. In 1868 he became a member of the board of aldermen by which the city was then governed. In 1869 he was elected register of the city. During the period of his service in this capacity the country was undergoing the great agitation for the enactment of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. His position as well as his business prominence brought him into contact with many leading men of the country and he exerted his influence in favor of this legislation. Opposed "Jim Crow" Law.

On one occasion he entered a car placarded "For Whites" with the purpose of having himself ejected so as to have a case to carry before the courts and to Congress. During his early days as a teacher in the District no appropriation was made out of the public funds for the maintenance of schools for Negro children. His almost unaided efforts secured an appropriation of one third of all the public school money for Nebia. Until the beginning of his illness he was a member of the board of children's guardians and of the executive committee of Howard University. Up to his death he retained his membership on the board of trustees of the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children and the board of trustees for the Columbian Harmony Society.

Burroughs, the corresponding secretary of the Woman's Convention and president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, is in the Southland. She is receiving the greatest ovation ever given any woman who has passed this way. Though we are experiencing the severest weather, the people are not baffled, but are packing the churches everywhere she speaks. It was the writer's good fortune to hear her at Vicksburg. She simply held the most magnificent audience that ever assembled in this city, spell-bound for an hour and a half. When she had finished, Colonel Mollison, president of the Lincoln Saving Savings Bank, said that he had heard a number of women speak, but never a woman spoke as this one. "For generally," said the noted barrister, "they hold my attention for ten or fifteen minutes and I have --- quite enough; but Miss Burroughs held my attention throughout her splendid address." As a poet, Dumbar was in a class to himself; as an orator, Miss Burroughs is in a class to herself. All down the line to New Orleans, this young woman has passed, and the people are singing her praises. She is to be in the Queen City this week, and we are expecting to hear of her triumphs. Her message is full of hope, information and inspiration. The entire race in this section is blessed because she passed this way. The lesson that we have all learned is that a young Negro woman, with faith and vision, can be a benediction to her race. WAR ON THE DANCE Will Unite in Campaign Against Certain Public Dancing of Corrupt Influence. The colored pastors of the city, under the leadership of Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Shiloh Baptist Church, have united in a warfare on the dances given by certain colored people on steamboats, picnic grounds and public halls, and are preparing to do all in their power to place them in popular disfavor. These dances, it is declared by the ministers, are patronized by old and young, by church members and by those who make no pretension to Christianity. Experience proves, it is pointed out in a circular letter which has been sent out by the pastors, that the leaders in the churches should do all in their power to stamp out the practice which has grown to such an extent among the young colored people of the city. These public dances, it is declared are sources of intemperance and coarseness and are the greatest source of the "worldly mindedness which is playing such havoc in all the churches." "The habit of giving public halls and dances," it is said, "is also invading the educational institutions of our city to an alarming extent, and is working untold injury to the physical, intellectual and moral well being of the school children and the student bodies in Washington." Many of the pastors have preached special sermons on the subject and it is expected that the campaign to stamp out the dance will be continued. CHIEF MAKES GOOD REPORT True Reformers Install Officers. A large gathering of True Reformers assembled at the True Reformers Hall last Monday night, the occasion being the public installation of 1275 officers. Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, Division Secretary, read the report which showed that 21 deaths has occurred since September 1st, 1909, to January 15th, 1910. New members added, 332; amount of money collected, $13,924.55; amount received for payment of death claims $1,135.00, making a total of $15,059.55 handled in four months and fifteen days. Chief Griffin gave $52.50 in cash prizes to the following named persons, Philip Gains, R. N. Lumpkins, V. F. Winslow, E. B. Jordon, M. M. Peae, and J. J. Tennyson.

They are being established almost at a rate of one every month. It is said according to statistics recently given out, Mobile, Ala. boasts of having thirty-two Negro letter carriers and a superintendent of carriers. Dr. Ernest Lyon, American Minister to Liberia, says that such a school as Tuskegee in Liberia, will be of unestimable benefit. There are prospects of having one. All the leading white citizens paid tribute to Aunt Amy Latimer, who was buried in Milledgeville, Ga., last week.Her pallbearers were Judge G. T. Whilden, Recorder Dr. J. E. Kidd, W. W. Stembridge and several other prominent white citizens.Anna Latimer belonged to the old class. James Edwards Johnson, a Negro has been declared the legal heir of Bridget Torpey, a cook, who died at the age of 70 years leaving an estate of $30,000. Representative Holland has introduced in the Legislature, in Lexington, Ky., a bill to prevent the establishment of the Negro school, known as "Lincoln Institute, which an endowment of a half-million dollars, was raised. Andrew Carnegie and Mrs. Russell Sage were among the largest contributors. The college is an offshoot of Berea. The latest invention is shoe-shining by electricity, which is done by dropping a nickel in slot-machine. This is now being demonstrated in this city, at 905 G street. n. w. Joachim Carl Theodore Fricks, the oldest barber in point of active service in Illinois, died at the age of 74 years. He was a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, who was a regular patron of his shop and often exchanged jokes and stories with the barber when business for both was slack. In the last six months 136 textile mills have been built in the United States. Since January 1, 1906, more than 1,200 mills have been constructed, and about one half of this number in the South.

Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Wae 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 Lissut. 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 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.

Leat. 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 heutenant'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 H. 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 Maline 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.

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 Montagarl, 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 Y. 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.

There is nothing, save, perhaps love only, that will so fire the hearts of men, and drive them on to great risks, and the accom- plishment of daring and desper- ate deeds, as patriotism. It is the electric spark which ignites the magazine of a man’s soul — the shortest and surest route to true greatness and distinction. Read the long and illustrious list of great and eminent men, not only of this country, but the world over—men whose names have been written highest on the chart of fame and inquire, if you will, why their names are written there, and will find it was because they were patriots —men who loved their country—- men who died for their country. A man who loves not his coun- try can love nothing else. The country loves a patriot. We are told that, “He who maintains his country’s laws alone is great, or,, who dies in the great cause.” and, “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” And it is because of this very great estimate and respect this worshipful regard -placed upon patriotism, that those who lack it are universally held in such utter disgust, abhorrence and hatred. It is for this reason, al- so, that we hasten to defend the Negro against the imputation. What evidence of patriotism has the Colored American given us? Has he anything to his cred- it? Has he done anything which entitles him to the name of pa- triot? The answer is written in the records of Fort Pillow, of Wagner, of Santiago and of San Juan, and a half-score of other battles in which the Negro has freely laid down his life for his country. It is not necessary for me to recount, in detail, the particulars of each. of these engagements; the story has often been told.. It 4s sufficient to say that the color- ed American is not unpatriotic, and that he has proven it. When the peace and happiness of his country is menaced by a for- eign or domestic foe, he will “continue to respond to duty, as before, notwithstanding the fact that his country’ sometimes fails to do its full duty by him, The colored American’s name tmight appear higher up on the chart of fame, had history only been fair enough to accord him due credit for his exploits and achievements. ° The trouble is ‘that the white race lives too far away from the colored American (as Dr. Nelms explained about the hills of corn which he planted, that failed to fructify), they know too little about the Negro’s history and exploits and achievements (as Dr. Nelms assents), as well as his good traits, and too much about his faults and his short- comings. % | A closer affiliation of the races would result, not only in a better understanding and accord, but the material strength and — of the nation. John T. C. Newsom. GENERAL JOHN A. JOHNS: ! TON General Johnston's military history has‘been published in full by the daily press, hence The Bee will not speak, of General Johnston, as a soldier, except to ‘say that he distinguished him- self in that capacity while he was serving Uncle Sam. As a citizen General Johnston is quiet and pleasant. He will make a good civil governor of the peo- ple because he always recognizes merit. The Bee briefly stated last week that it hoped that Gen- eral Johnston as well as his as- sociate will recognize a few rep- resentatives of the ninety thou- sand colored people in this city. The Bee believes that General Johnston is that Rind ef a man. From what The Bee knows oi his history, he is far from being prejudiced on account of color. While he is a strict disciplinarian, he is affable in disposition, but possitive in character. The Bee knows that our local govern- ment will be conducted in such a manner that will merit the plandits of the citizens of Wash- ington, Had President Taft ap- pointed two Democrats instead of two Republicans The Bee would have been equally satis- fied and pleased. The time is fast approaching when principles will predomi- nate and men appointed to office as the representatives of safe and sound principles. On the front page will be seen an exact cut of one of the new Commissioners. The cut of Hon. Cuno H. Ru- oleh appeared in last weeks is- sue of The Bee. PROF. KELLY MILLER Howard University should feel justly proud of Prof. Kelly Miller, because he is a man who is ever ready to defend the in- Stitution as well as the race to which he is identified. Prof. ‘Miller is not only a writer of force but he is a speaker of un- questionable ability. The col- lege department,indeed,all of the departments, with but one ex- ‘ception of this institution will ‘compare as favorably with any in any college in this country. MISS BOURROUGHS SOUTH Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen and read with interest the tour of Miss Nannie H. Bour- roughs through the South, It is indeed, gratifying to know, that this well known young woman has bearded the lion in his den. There is is no woman in this country who is doing great- er work for her women than Miss Bourroughs. Her ovation in the South, from all reports, is most remarkable. The Bee con- gratulates her on the successful tour that she has made in the Jand of sunshine and flowers. SOCIAL INSANITY The social element of colored Americans in this city has gone insane. The lily whites and the lily blacks are making faces at one another. Never before was such a hold on so many social vampires, The Bee would sug- gest, for the ‘good of the com- munity that the different social facttons save their money until it reaches a sum sufficient to build an institution for a reformation lof their condition. Many of these dress parades are menace: to society. In short, bands ol social insane sattelites are permit- ting themselves to become brokc to keep up social functions while the masses are worried over their poverty. The lily whites are hiding behind door screens ‘to keep from the lily blacks. The lily blacks are worried because they are not recognized by the these social insanes, If the light was turned on some of these in- ‘dividuals, what a scene would be exposed. St, Elizabeth has plen- ty of room for the social in- eanes. . DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD The Bee is pleased to see its distinguished friend, Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., meet with such a reception as is reported in The Times-Courier, of Jacksonville, Fla. The lecture on Egypt, deliver- ed last week in Florida was re- ceived by the people with admir- ation. Dr. Shepard is a good writer as well as a good speaker. There is no man in this country any more honored and respected than this well. known young Soutlrern Educator, The school that he is building in Durham, N. C., is said will be a great monu- ment to the colored Americans in the South. His receptoin in Cuba will be equally as great as the one that was given him and his friends in Florida. POLICE JUDGE CHOSEN President Decides to Appoint Arthur - E. H, Middleton Choige Comes as a Suprise | Young -\ttorney’s Name Never Was Prominent Among Candidates to Succeed Ivory G. Kimbatl—Wa: Recommended by Attorney General —Promises Reforms in Conduct of Tribunal,” Announcement was made from the White House Friday, Jan. 14, that President Taft had decided to accept the recommendation of Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham and appoint Arthur E. H. Middleton as police judge for the District of Columbia, to succeed Ivory G. Kimball, who has held the | osition for more than eighteen years. ‘The recommendation of the Attorney General was made only after a care- ful consideration of the qualification of various other candidates for the office, and also as to the probability of the fitness of the incumbent to round out another term. The friends of Judge Kimball have rallied on all sides to his support, but the opposi- tion also has been active, their con- tention being that the position called for a much younger man. Surprise was expressed by many at Mr. ‘Middleton's selection, as his name at no time had been prominent in the list of candidates for the place. Had there been a session of the Senate today the name of Mr, Mid- dieton would have been sent in, but, as it is, his name will not be offered un- til Monday, As the question ofgthe validity of the acts of Judge Kimball holding over until his successor quali- fies for the position was not brought officially to the attention of the At- torney General, no mention concern- ing it has been made by the, Depart- ment of Justice. Praised by Attorney General When interviewed after the cabinet meeting yesterday, Attorney General Wickersham said: “It is true I have recommended Mr, Middleton's nomination, From personal observation I am sure he possesses all the qualities neccessary to the discharge of the duties of a police judge. In my opinion the po- sition requires something more than mere knowledge of law. Mr. Middle- ton undoubtedly has clear judgment, an intelligent and sympathetic nature, and with all is absolutely firm. He is a graduate of Harvard, and has had considerable experience in the practice of law in this city.” My. Middlcton after his graduation at Harvard received a degree of bachelor of laws at Columbia Uni- versity in 1893. In the same year he was admitted to the District Supresfe Court bar and one year later to the Court of Appeals. He first began the practice of law with the late Benja- min F, Butler, of the law firm of But- ler, Barrett and French, Since the dissolution of the firm Mr. Middleton has carried on the practice at his of- fices at 515 Eleventh street northwest. Son of Admiral Middleton Mr. Middleton comes from an old Southern family. He was born in 1872 at the Pensacola navy yard, {where his father, the late Rear Ad- miral Edward’ Middleton, was com- mander. His, grandfather, the late Henry Middleton, was governor of South Carolina, and also for ten year: United States minister to Russia. Arthur Middleton, a great-great grandfather, was the signer of the Declaration of Independence from South Carolina. . Mr, Middleton is unmarried, living with his mother and sister in Fif- teenth street northwest. He is a member of the Millitary Order of the Loyal Legion, the National Geograph- ic Society, Sons of the American Revolution, Society of Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Indenendence. University Club. and Did Not Seek Appointment To a Post reporter Mr. Middleton said: “I was not a candidate for the of- fice. The Attorney General called me on the telephone last Monday and 1 met him by appointment. Our inter- view lasted about two houts, during which we discussed District . affairs. After a time the Attorney Generai asked me if 1 would accept the police court judgeship. I informed him I was not a candidate for the the po- sition, Rather did I support anoth- er candidate, He explained that he of taxes for the District of Colum- courts, and informed me that there i= too little attention paid to their con- duct, and that there is an apparent in- difference to the unfortunates arraign” ed. Of course, it will take a little time to bring about some needed re- forms, but I know I will have the as- sistance of every lawyer who has business before ine.” . time to bring about some needed re- forms, but I know I will have the as- sistance of every lawyer who has business before me.” . EMANCIPATION DAY AT OR- ANGEBURG, SOUTH CARO- LINA. . Recorder Dancy Speaks By Prof, H. P. Butler of-the State College. It is a peculiar fact of history that every, nation, kirigdom or people, has had to pass through doubtful peri- eds of development, settle their vital issues, and meet -critical conditions on which their future ‘destiny depend- ed, = Magna Charta did the work for England, the French Revolution ac- complished it for France, the Ameri- can Revolution gave freedom to the white people of America, and the God of Nations and Races, in his wis- dom, waited until January 1, 1863, to emancipate the “Boys in Black.” Since that memorable day, the Ne- gro has been making every New Year's Day a ‘political passover, in sacred memory of that dark night of slavery when the angel of liberty saw his wasted blood and loosed his chains, On January 1, 1910, however, Gne sec- tion of our country did greater hon- or to the celebration of Emancipa- tion Day than did Orangeburg, the Athens of South Carolina. Orangeburg is a town situated in her native Commonwealth like the heart in the human body—a little to the left, but always on the right side of life, The Lincoln Historical So- ciety of Orangeburg arranged for the celebration of last Emancipation Day, and no difficulty beset its members until the question of the orator of the day presented itself, The Sociéty of course, desired nothing but the best man obtainable, but to locate him proved a most difficult proposi- tion until the Rev. Dr. Quick, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, true to his name, promptly solved the difficulty by suggesting the name of Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. The reverend doctor’s nomination of Recorder Dan- cy must have been inspired, and he was at once authorized to “deliver the man,” which he accomplished af- ter considerable —_ correspondence through the mails and over the wires. On the appointed day, the Receptibn Committee, consisting of Rev. Dr. Quick, Dr. M. D. Rowe, Hon. J. M. Mooren, Col. N. B. Thomas and Prof. N. P. Butler, met Recorder Dancy and extended a cordial welcome. The moment Recorder Dancy’s arrival was made known, “there was a tumult in the city,” and it at once became ap- parent that those of his race who knew him are fortunate, while those that have not failed to study the last twenty-five years of our race history, in which he has been a prominent figure and has played a most import- ant part. Dr. Quick, however, had the advantage’ of everyone else for he and Recorder Dancy, during the marble shooting period used to “roll the stones” together, and, iti precious boyhood days, upon the hills of North Carolina, side by side, they “plucked the first ripe grapes and bore them home in childish triumph.” Others present know him in his. public career, so Recorder Dancy did not fall among Strangers, and when he met “the boys” he looked as he did fifteen years ago, except that he had grown a little longitudinally. The spacious auditorium of Claflin University, one of the best institu- tions of its kind in the Soutlr was crowded to its utmost capacity by a truly representative audience com- posed of the colored people of,the city of Orangeburg and adjoining counties, and the professors and stu- dents of Claflin, the State College and city graded schools.

Dr. J. A. Brown, the Hon. J. H. Mooren, of the local bar, in his usual pleasing manner introduced Col, H. B. Thomas, of the Post Of- fice Department, who acted as master of ceremonies. Squire Mooren and and Col, Thomas are to Orangeburg what steam is to a locomotive, a nec- cessity, for there is no moving with- out them. With characteristic elo- quence, Col. Thomas introduced the Rev. Dr. A. E. Quick, who presented in turn the orator of the day, “Quick- ly” setting the cars of the audience a listening as, with choicest rheteric and burning eloquence, he introduced the speaker, Recorder Dancy. Deafening cheers greeted Record- er Dancy, as he faced one of the most expectant and intelligent audiences that could be assembled in the State, and, as there was nothing left for him to do but speak, that he proceed- ed to do in a manner which Ieft no doubt that oratory is one of, if not the greatest of his accomplishments. As a battled-scarred veteran of many apolitical campaign the Recorder stands in the foremost rank of his race for wise statesmanship and shrewd political sagacity. This has been evidence by his: brilliant public career, from the time he first entered public life to the present day, when, as Recorder of Deeds for the District ef Columbia, he holds one of the highest offices this country gives to a man of his color, It is no secret, though met as well known as it should, be, that Recorder Dancy has given the greatest satisfation by his admin- istration of that office, having neglect~ ed no opportunity to improve it. But it was not all that that added to Recorder Dancy’s fame on the occa- sion in question, but rather his able, witty, eloquent and masterly manner in keeping spellbound an audience of such intelligence in rapt attention and interest for more than an_hour. He led the willing minds about him from laughter to meditation, from lively humor to deep thought and re- flection, amid patriotic applause and waving handkerchiefs, his greeting being a veritable ovation, ‘During the afternoon Recorder Dancy was given an opportunity to visit friends and places of interest, and at 7.30 in the evening in the re- ception room of Claflin University a Lanquet of one hundred covers was served in his honor. As an after dinner orator, Recorder Dancy is no less distinguished than as a set speak- er, but Mr. Quick having suggested that, as New Year's Day was sq near Sunday, it would be a treat to the city at large to hear one of the Re- corder’s lectures, The suggestions | as promptly adopted, and the ev- ening following (being Sunday) at Trinity M. E. Church Recorder Dancy reached his climax as a lec- turer. 7 The subject chosen by the Record- er for, this lecture was {Singleness of Purpose,” and so thoroughly did he present and impress his thoughts on the minds of the great audience which greeted him that those who were so fortunate to hear him that they sin- erely and deeply regretted the edifice was not: large enough to enable ev- eryone to hear the address. On the platform, to Recorder Dancy’s right, was seated Dr, L.M_Bunton,the vener- able president of Claflin University. who had heard all his addresses, and who represents that ol New Enz- land stock that believes in freeylore and Christianity, and in education for the Negro as well as for the white man: Prof. S. R. Youngblood, Rev. Dr. J. S. Thomas, and Major J. H. Fordham, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenuc, while to fis left were D& Quick, the popular pastor of the church, Prof, H. P. Butler, of the State College, and others. The’ after greetings and hearty handshakes Recorder Dancy received assured hinv that he was leaving a section that looked upon him as one of the most brilliant stars in the constellation ef the race, and that wherever he went he would be accompanied by the best wishes and prayers of our race- loving .people. A JOLLY TRIP AND CROWD Sundav to Leesbure. V2. Sunday moming, January 16th Mr. Wm. H.

IV. nity, intelligent people, through face 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 Tear off and mail with your remittance Lincoln Memorial Building Company, 494 Louisiana Ave., N.

IT KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an enterprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK, where every dollar will be invested in the best of Washington Real Estate, that increases in value annually at the rate of 5%8 per cent—nearly DOUBLE bank interest. Even that is good enough for most people, but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY will do better than that. It will have offices and stores and lodge rooms; which will earn, on a conservative estimate, at least $23,200 per year. Equal to 5 9-10 per cent per annum. Building Co. WASHINGTON, D. C.

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 quaint 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 boron so PATENT DRAWING ARTING, DETAILING, TRAC BLUE PRINTING TION A SPECIALTY. 404 Louisiana Ave. N.W. cording to the more than One Vote according to Law, and the Moderator thereupon declared to the Inhabitants that they must draw and bring in their Votes again in Manner as before directed, and the Inhabitants accordingly withdrew and the Votes being brought in and sorted it appeared that there were Four Hundred and two votes and that there was two hundred and five Years and one hundred and ninety-seven Naya." — Boston Transcript.

Henry, Champion Swimmer, Coming Over to Teash 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 away. He has visited nearly all the continental countries and has established societies in Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and Finland. His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australian commonwealth, New Zealand, India, THE WORLD'S FINEST WRESTLER 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." GREAT AVENUE SAFE 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 Elysées itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threatened by an aroused 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 bridges. The first of these subj Garden of the Tullieries, Paris. ransean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. 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 Elysées, 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 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 ench 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 guays at one point. An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandra 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 Berrl. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Aro the Avenue du Bols de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famous woods. MAJOR LEANDER P. WILLIAMS There is no man in this country who has rendered better military services to his government and who has suffered more in prison than Maj. Leander P. Williahs, assistant clerk of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. A committee was appointed by the Seventy-third Regimental Asociation at its meeting in Crown Point, Ind., in September, 1903. It then consisted of three members, Messrs. Wilbur E. Gorsuch, John M. Canfield and Henry C. Morgan. Subsequently lieutenant, subsequently Major Leander P. Williams was added. The story relating to the straight raid, the prison life of the officers, and the escape from Libby prison, was purposed by Lieut. Williams, who was one of those who escaped through the tunnel, and returned safely to the Union lines. Soon after the war Lieutenant Williams was made a major by brevet, by the nomination of the President and confirmation by the Senate. He wrote the account of his life in and escape from Libby Prison. Major Williams, some few weeks ago, before a large and representative audience of citizens gave, in concise form his capture and escape form Libby Prison. Among those who listened to his PETER H. BURGESS MAJOR LEANDR WILLIAMS His Imprisonment in Leape From Lobby Prison equient and pathetic revelations were: Attorney L. M. King, Register W. T. Vernon, Auditor R. W. Tyler, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Assistant U. S. Attorney J. A. Cobb, Attorneys Thomas L. Jones, Rev. J. Anderson Tayler, W. Calvin Chase, James H. McLaughlin, and others. Mr. Goodyear and others. A copy of Major Williams book, The 73rd Indiana Volunteers in the War of 1861-1865 should be in the homes of every patriotic American. Major Williams pictures the horrors in a manner that will bring tears to the eyes of the reader. The student of history of LibbyPrison and the brave Union soldiers who were confined in that prison will testify that those brave men of whom Major Williams have spoken should have a special monument erected to their memory. History speaks of the bravery of Major Williams and of his loyalty and fidelity to his republic when it tried mens' souls. May this brave soldier live long enough to receive his just reward. ZION CHURCHES HONOR BISHOP WALTERS Borne over the ocean's waves, Bishop Alexander Walters, A. M. D. D., now on his way to Cape Coast, West Africa, to supervise the work of the A. M. E. Zion Church established in that country, who sailed on Wednesday of this week from New York, goes with the speeches and songs of the joint public mass meeting and testimonial given him at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church in this city on the 18th instant, still ringing in his ears. Many times he will seem to hear the echoes of that and other similar services coming over the briny deep and mingling with the music of the waters as he is wafted onward: The brave churchman will go by way of Liverpool, Serra, Leone and Monrovia, Liberia, reaching his destination about the 28th of March. There are six districts in which he will hold conferences, establish new districts, make ministerial appointments, order applicants for the ministry and look after the mission schools and The Small Theological Institute. Bishop J. W. Smith, A. M., D. D., called the meeting to order and presided. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D. D., the pastor, announced "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" which was rendered by the choir and audience. WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FACE LIGHTER COLORED FOR EVERY IMPORTANT OCCASION?

BERGER & CO., 2 Rector St., New York As the song rose from many voices, all felt that the parting service in honor of a great church prelate soon to sail from his country in the vigor of winter, was on. The great audience was visibly effected. Dr. J. Edward Mason of New York read the Scripture lesson. Dr. W. A. Ray of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, this city offered a feeling prayer, asking God's benediction on the bishop on his journey and in his work in another land. The choir sang "Praise the Lord." Bishop J. W. Smith then spoke of the work of Rev. Andrew Cartright, who planted Zion's banner in Africa and said, "his bones are bleaching on the field of his labor and his soul is now with the white-vested elders who have accomplished the work the Master gave them to do." He talked of the labors of the late Bishop J. B. K. Small, whom Bishop Walters succeeds. He was followed by Dr. Mason, Mrs. Mary J. Small of York, Pa., widow of Bish-Small. Bishop G. L. Blackwell, A. M., D.D., of Phila., Pa., made an impressive and logical address in which he emphasized the work before Bishop Walters in a new field, in a new country and among a new people. He said, "It is not the easiest thing to break away from country, from home ties and social relations and go to a land of fevers, diseases and uncertainties." He said it requires great bravery and Christian zeal for such an undertaking, and that Bishop Walters fully measures up to the required standard. He said, "we want a great church in America and a great church in Africa." Dr. R. A. Morrissey, the General Missionary Secretary of Philadelphia, Pa., drew a graphic picture of the work of the missionary department of Zion Church at home and abroad. Bishop Smith then introduced Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York and as he came forward to speak on "The Redemption of Africa" in taking leave of the National Capital and local Zion Churches and the great audiences which greeted him, there was a prolonged applause. He said in part: "This great outpouring here tonight will cheer my heart as I go to my new field of labor in Africa the fatherland of the American Negro. In that country are hundreds of thousands of souls to save and millions and millions of dollars worth of unexhumed wealth. We should gather the souls for Christ's and the material wealth to enrich the race. What care I for results, dangers or diseases in Africa if I can save and lead to Christ one soul that will be precious in his sight and that will labor to build up his kingdom on that dark continent. More and more Life is my duty to go in the name of God and Zion to extend the work of evangelization there." He paid a high tribute to ex-President Roosevelt, now in that country and said, "I believe him to be the man of the hour for the world.(loud applause) He stirred us up just a little once over the Brownsville soldiers, but we forgive him all. (applause) In Africa I find him appealing for a in 1874 he was appointed collector chance for the black man. I thank you all for this splendid token of your good wishes and shall carry teh recollection of them with me to Africa." He was followed in brief, but pointed address by Judge R H. Terrell of the Municipal court. Register Wm T. Vernon, Dr. E. D. W. Jones, of Harrisburg, Pa., and Attorney W. Calvin Chase editor of The Bee. The latter replying to Rev. Mr. Jones, who jocularly asked Judge Terrell and Recorder J. C. Dancy to help make him a bishop in 1912, nominated Dr. S. L. Corrothers as prolonged applause and cheering that was renewed again and again for some little time. Time showed conclusively the great popularity of Dr. Corrothers who will, it is generally conceded, be elected to the bishopric in Zion Church at the next General Conference. Every opposition to him has but increased his popularity and hold on his people. Dr. Jones is a rising young man in Zion and is the son of the late Bishop Singletor T. Jones, who well known here. who was well known here.

The meeting closed with a reception in the chapel where Bishop Walters shook hands with the great throng which said words of cheer and bid him God speed. The Silent Workers, an organization of ladies of Galbraith Church, consisting of Mrs. Sadie V. Ward, Mrs. Victoria Neal, Mrs. Lizzie Seldon, Mrs. Gertrude Bowie, Mrs. Sadie Harvey and Mrs. Hester Jones, have fitted up a cozy, tastefully arranged and attractive study for the pastor in the church on the first floor The furniture is all new and is of the latest design and best quality.
