THE BEE WASHINGTON VOL.XXX NO3 CubaHonors Dr.Shepard AMERICANS HONORED Havana Cuba, Jan. 25 (Special to The Bee) (Special To The Bee.) The greatest ovation that has ever been given Southern Colored Americans was in Havana, Cuba, to Dr James E. Shepard and his party from Durham, N. C. This party had been touring the South and Cuba for observation and study of the colored people in the Southern States and Cuba. On their arriving in Havana the Durham,N.C.,guests were met by a special commission appointed by Sem M. Mosun Delgads, president of the Senate. They were escorted to President Gomez, where they were received in private, after which they were tendered a reception by Sem Delgads and other Cubans. They had an extended conference with the Superintendent of Public Institutions and the Postmaster-General. The reception that these Durhamites received at the hands of the Cuban officials and other representatives of Cuba was the greatest that has ever been extended any citizens and far-reaching results will accrue from this tour from a business and educational standpoint. Those who are in company with Dr. Shepard are: Dr. A. M. Moore, Mr. John Merrick, president Mechanics and Farmers' Bank, of Durham, N. C., and also of the Peoples Insurance Company, the largest in the world, Mr. C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C., and Rev. John E. Ford, of Jacksonville, Fla. PEACE CONFERENCE Mr. L. Melendez King, one of the most prominent members of the bar, was the legal representative of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the world at their Peace Conference, held at Wilmington, Del., last week. Mr.King has always advocated union of the two organizations and it was principally through his efforts and those of his associates that this union of the two great organizations of the Elks of the world. No man of the Peace Conference was any more respected the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, Dr. A. M. Moore, a distinguished than Attorney King. His advice and the argument he advanced to the L. MELENDEZ KING Member of the Elk Peace Confer Conference had great weight in bringing about the consolidation of those two powerful organizations, physician, and Mr. C. C. Spaulding. The two factions in this city are composed of substantial citizens and men of ability. The report of the Conference will be made to the joint where a large table was spread, meeting of the two national delegate bodies. The Bee extends its congratulations to Attorney King for his successful efforts in bringing the harmonious Conference that was held. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD RETURNS PARTY HOME Dr. James E. Shepard Senator M. Morua Delgado. Jacksonville, Fla., January 31. Dr. James E. Shepard, accompanied by Mr. John Merrick, president of manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, N. C., and Rev. Dr. John E. Ford, pator of the Bethel Institutional Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida, has just returned from a trip of observation in Cuba. To a Reformer reporter he gave some delightful experiences and has promised later to give an extended opinion on Cuba and her people. The following, however, will be of interest: Will Cuba ever become a part of the United States, if so would it not be best for all concerned? To this be replied I do not think it best for Cuba to become a part of the United States, especially for the colored people. The Cubans themselves do not desire it, they are capable of self government, they believe in liberty, they would not tolerate for a moment the humiliation and restrictions as are placed around the American Negro. Their spirit of independence and their love of liberty is something to be admired. I do not know whether Cuba will ever be annexed, but I sincerely hope not. In speaking of the president of the Cuban Senate Dr. Shepard gave out the following: As you doubtless know the president of the Cuban Senate is Senator M. Morua Delgado, a colored Cuban. He is a man of striking personality when you meet him you are at once impressed with his earnestness and loyalty of purpose. He is a man of fifty years and is a scholar being conversant with three languages; French, English and Spanish. To him more than to any other man President Gomez is indebted for his election. For Senator Delgado is really the leader of the Liberal party which is now in control of affairs on the Island. Senator Delgado's secret of success can be traced to his interest in the common people. In fact he subjugates personal ambition for the good of his people and Cuba. He believes that he cannot keep one without keeping the other. In his family life he is the ideal husband and father. No leader has the confidence of the masses of the Cuban people as Senator Delgado. Later on I shall speak of him in an article and what he has accomplished for Cuba. What about the Plaza Hotel incident; I do not care to discuss it simply to say the newspaper accounts greatly exaggerated it. There is no prejudice in Cuba saved that carried by Americans.—Ext. from interviewed Reformer. LEADERS LINING OF FOR SHOPS TO BE ELECTED BY THE COMING ZION METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. There is great activity among the leaders and thinking men of the A. M. E. Zion Church with regard to the choice of the men for the new general officers to be elected by the coming General Conference of that church which meets in Charlott,e, N. C., in 1912. A strong opposition to the selection of general officers of the church for bishops, is widely developing, first because these men seize the opportunity which extensive travel gives them to further their candidacy at the expense of the general church, and secondly, because because their elections to this high office in that way weakens the pulpit by being an inducement to the most effective preachers to seek general offices with a view of promotion to the episcopal office. There is now a growing tendency to select men for bishop from the pulpit, and if this is done,the strongest preachers will seek pulpit as their primary field of work, thus greatly strengthening the churches by bringing into them the very best talent in the Christian ministry. There is a wide spread sentiment in favor of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D. D., of this city and Rev. Dr. W. L. Lee, of Pittsburg, Pa., for bishops. Both stand in the front rank of great preachers in their church and their ability is conceded by all denominations. It is generally conceded in Zion Church that Dr. Corrothers will be elected to that office when the Conference meets. He is not only a man of national reputation, but is one of the most farseeing and best financiers in his church. Not only the church but all of the institutions of the church need such men on the board of bishops. His following is as wide as the borders of Zion. Dr. M. V. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY FEBRUARY 5. 1910 [Picture of a man in a suit, holding an open book]. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD, OF DURHAM, N. C., WHO WAS GIVEN AN OVA TION IN FLORIDA. Marible, of Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. W. H. Ferguson of this city are strong candidates for the office of financial secretary. Both have given long service to their church and are strong men with the general church. As matters now stand three new bishops will be elected in 1912. There is one vacancy caused by the death of Bishop M. R. Franklin to be filled and there will be an increase of one for the work in this country and one will be elected for the work in Africa who will be required to reside in that country. The last General Conference elected three, G. L. Blackwell M. R. Franklin and A. J. Warner. The latter was from the pulpit and the other two were from general offices and had rendered most efficient service in that capacity. Durhamnites In Cuba HERE INVESTIGATING Party of Prominent Colored Men in City—Contemplate Providing Educational Facilities. (From Havana, Cuba, Lucha.) Stopping at the Manhattan Hotel is a distinguished party of colored men, recent arrivals from the States who have come to Cuba on a combined business and pleasure trip. Mainly they have come here to study the condition of the colored people in Cuba, with a view of extending the excellent system of education they represent in the States. A representative of The Lucha called on the party yesterday after- BLUE LODGES The last week has been a very sorrowful one in Masonic Fraternity in 115 jurisdiction. The first to depart this life was Bro. James Dodson, a member of Felix Lodge No. 3, who died suddenly in Boston, Mass., Friday, January 7. His remains were brought to this city and buried in Harmony, Wednesday, January 6, by Felix Lodge. He was initiated, passed and raised in the lodge in 1905. The second member was Bro. Joshua Johnson, member of Warren Lodge No. 8. He was the brother of the late Rev. Robert Johnson, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street, n. w. His remains were buried by Warren Lodge on Thursday, Jan. 20. Third, Bro. James M. Foster, who died after a brief illness on Wednesday night at the Casualty Hospital. He was buried from Israel C. M. E. Church, at 2 o'clock n. m., Sunday, January 23. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. K. Harris, assisted by Rev. C. T. Long, Rev. W. J. Howard, Dr. Winton. The services were very impressive. The remains were intered in Harmony Cemetery, under the auspices of Felix Lodge. He leaves one sister, Mrs. Cornelia Holland, of Pleasantville, N. J., and two brothers, Henry Foster of Texas, John S. Foster, of Boston. * A large delegation from Capitol employees were present, and gave a very handsome floral design "Gates Ajar." Brother Cook was a member of Eureka Lodge No. 5. Prince Hall Chapter, R. A. M., Gethsemane Commandery and member of the Grand Commandery. The Craft tenders their sympathy. Durhamites In Cuba HERE INVESTIGATING Party of Prominent Colored Men in City—Contemplate Providing Educational Facilities. (From Havana, Cuba, Lucha.) Stopping at the Manhattan Hotel is a distinguished party of colored men, recent arrivals from the States who have come to Cuba on a combined business and pleasure trip. Mainly they have come here to study the condition of the colored people in Cuba, with a view of extending the excellent system of education they represent in the States. A representative of The Lucha called on the party yesterday afternoon and found them to be of the high class of men who are not only an honor to their race, but to all Americans, for they typify the advance spirit which is destined to do such great good in harmonizing the interests of the two races. Their method is educational, along practical lines. One of the first questions asked by the party was whether it was possible to induce the colored people of Havana to move into the country and take up the cultivation of the soil. This seemed to be the problem they wished solved. They stated that if such an end could be accomplished it would repay them for years of work. They also wish to instill into the people the desire to save at least a portion of their earnings and one of the results of their visit to Cuba may be the organization of an industrial insurance and saving institution, on the order of the North Carolina Mutual Provident Association the largest Negro insurance in the world, now ten years old, and doing a flourishing business. Prominent men of their state endorse this institution in unequivocal terms of com. The party consists of Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham. N. C., a physician who bears high credentials and who is also president of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua; John Merrick, president of the Mecharics and Farmers Bank, of Durham, N. C., and also president of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. He is the bearer of exceptionally strong letters from the governor of his State and from other prominent persons. C. C. Spaulding, another of the party, is an officer and director in the aforementioned institution. Dr. A. M. Moore, of Durham is another man of fine caliber. These men have not come to Cuba with any air of braggadocio, but have conducted themselves in that modest and unassuming manner which bespeaks sincerity. They are here to get information. They have met the leading men of their race in Cuba and are quite well pleased with what they have seen and heard. On Sunday they were the guests at the home of Juan Gualberto Gomez. Monday, they consulted with Senator Morua Delgado, and last night they were tendered a reception at his home, which was largely attended. Before the reception they were called upon by a committee of the Masonic Order. They expect to visit Matanzas and Cienfuegos within a few days. Madam Agnes Smallwood, wife of John Smallwood, an old and respected citizen of this District, of 1511 Church street, n. w., is confined to her residence with a serious attack of indigestion. Mr. J. B. Craig, formerly of this city, but who has been living in Chicago, Ill., for five years has returned to the city where he will permanently reside. Mr. Craig is a Washington boy and his return home is a gratification of his friends.

This you always get at the drug store of Board and McGuire, 1912 $ \frac{3}{2} $ 14th street, n. w. After leaving the 5 and 10 cents theatre you will enjoy a troll around to the Board and McGuire Pharmacy on 14th street between Tea and You, where the crowds go to be served the most delicious ice cream soda in the city. DEATHS Mrs. Marccellena Brooks, wife of the late John Brooks, was buried from her late residence, O street, n.w., about two weeks ago, Rev. Clair officiating. Mrs. Brooks was of the old type, and won many friends by her sterling qualities, kind and gentle disposition, which goes to make a good and noble woman. She leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss The death of Miss Regendia Alice Warring, daughter of Dr. J. H. and Mrs. Carrie Warring, was a sad blow to her many friends. She was buried from the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, last Monday. God moves in a mysterious way, taking one so young, so good and pure. Yet her life will always be remembered by her young associates and may be the means of bringing others to Him "Who doeth all things well." The death of Mrs. Alice William Turner, and infant son, who was buried last week, from the Second Baptist Church was a sad affair. Rev. Johnson beautifully told how he knew her from childhood up to motherhood, and her many good traits of which were spoken, will always linger with her friends, so that they too, may follow in her foot steps and be loved as she was. FUNERAL OF JOHN W. BAILEY After a lingering illness, ex-policeman John W. Bailey, a native of this District, died at his residence, 1521 P street, n. w., Friday evening, the 28th instant, at 11 o'clock. Funeral services over his remains were held at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and P streets, n. w., last Monday, the 31st instant, under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Garner. The John F. Cook Lodge, No. 1185, G. U. O. of O. F. attended the funeral in a body, and performed the funeral rites of the order both at the church and the grave. Deceased was one of the oldest policeman on the force. He was a good citizen and highly respected by all classes. He leaves a widow and several children, and a large number of relatives to mourn his loss. Interment was in Harmony Cemetery. DISAPPOINTED THE PEOPLE Rev. D. Webster Davis, who was booked to lecture at True Reformers Hall for the benefit of the Staddards Baptist Home, Sunday, January 30, failed to put in appearance. Prof. E. C. Williams of the High School was substituted and he delivered a very instructive address. Mr. W. T. Vernon and Dr. Childs took occasion to extend the virtues of the colored schools. Miss Gonevia B. Maxfield There are now four colored prizes in the United States, Reverend Cflas Randolph Uncles, John H. Dorsey, Joseph Plantique and Joseph A. Burgess, all it is said have good charges. The Canadian County bar today elected E. T. Barbour, a colored lawyer of El Reno, to act as judge and sit in the regular county court to try the case wherein J. L. Phelps, a former probate judge is charged with embezzlement. The society for the suppression of unnecessary noise, of New York, has gathered statistics which show that in the past seven years, Fourth of July celebrations have been responsible for 1, 513 deaths, 33,073 accidents and a property loss by fire of $20,000,000. Mrs. Louisa A. Morse Mann, known to the American stage for more than 60 years, and since the death of Mrs. Gilbert, the oldest of American actresses, died at her home in Providence, R.I., from an apoplectic stroke, Mrs. Mann was in her eighteenth year and went on the stage at the age of 10.

Mr. Anderson had little idea his find was valued at The largest cake of ice in an ice house in New York State, and probably in the United States, to be found near Middletown, N. Y. The cake weighs 520,000 pounds and the owners are embarrassed as to what to do with it. Senator Gallenger introduced a bill to establish and disburse a public school teachers retirement fund in the District. One of the new features provides that no teacher shall be discharged except for cause on written charges, and after a public trial before the Board of Education. The annual report of the One Cent Savings Bank, which was given out at the annual stockholders' meeting, this being its seventh in history, shows a clearance of nearly $800,000 for the fiscal year, and the most prosperous year of the institution. The Woman's Relief Corps, is an organization which works quietly without ostentation, yet like the Sisters of Mercy, soothe the sick, dying, comfort the sorrowing, and assist and encourage the unfortunate. During the past year $131,495.54 was expended for relief and over $3,000 has been expended for the same purpose since its organization. The report of Maj. Richard Sylvester, superintendent of police shows the total arrests made during the year were, 35,910, of this number 17,207 were white and 18,703 were colored, 3,375 were unable to read and write. It is said President Taft sent his check for fifty dollars to the Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Ga., which was recently destroyed by fire, President Taft apologized for the smallness of the sum by saying than many calls on him limited his financial abilities. CHRISTENING Two little children were christened in accordance with the usage of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the same hour on last Monday afternoon by Rev. W. A. Ray, D.

He bade a dien, with heav-y heart, And wander'd down the lane; He wish'd to see his little Nell, If grim'd with stain and dust, His clothes were thread-bare, patch'd, and torn. A shab-by hat he grasped, And on-ly once again; He trudg'd for many wea-ry hours; And reach'd the town by night, Where stood there trembling like a leaf, His coat he tight-ly clasped. The village blacksmith stopp'd his work, And people pass'd him to and fro, And shudder'd at the sight. At last he found a resting place, Twas look'd the strang-er o'er; Then kindly bade him take a seat—The tramp so tired and sore, "My at a man-sion door, Where revel-ry was high with-in, And laugh-ter loud did soar.

Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Jehastown, Pa.—The movement from Maine to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most persistent Arctie explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pola. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of "shook shops" and the manufacture and shipment of shook and staves to many distant points was his life work. Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast timber acreage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa., also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary's naval career sheds an interesting light on the question of inherited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, transplanted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the interior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father's death Robert E. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors.

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 sald to the driver, "but get the doctor here in a hurry." And it's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gallitzin, was buried amid a blizzard, "That was like the north pole itself," says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin. Charles H. Peary's father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his children have resided ever since. George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it possible for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy. SECOND HAND BICYCLES.

Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the palmest 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 psophograph. So complete and matte BONDS CASH INDES YOUTANK factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. 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 37,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Aiding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montagliari, Italian charge d'affaires 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 J. 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, 1903-1909." 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.

One copy per year in advance $2.00 Six months____ 1.00 Three months____ .50 Suscription monthly____ .20 There is one thing the Negroes in washington can do, and that is ring the changes on the prefex "Hon." Every Negro who holds a government position, from a $4,000 job down, or from a $900 job up, appears in the race newspapers, and on all programs as "Hon." So and So. Pick up a programme, and if there are a number of speakers on it, you will observe nearly all of them, if not all, sport the prefix "Hon." Now and then the little, insignificant "Mr." gets squeezed in., somewhere down the line, between two ponderous "Honorables," and appears as much out of place as would a salome attire at the 88th degree north latitude. If you examine the white daily newspapers you will always observe that "Mr." is sufficiently large, and dignified, and destingue to apply to members of Congress, members of the Cabinet, Ambassadors, Ministers, and even the President. It is always "Mr." Taft, "the President," "Mr." Knox, "Secretary tary of State," "Mr." Money, "Senator from Mississippi," or "Mr." Bryce, "Ambassador from England." But when we pick up many of the Negro newspapers, or a programme for a Negro meeting or entertainment, we find the title "Mr." is considered too inconsequential to set in type, and so you get the "Hon." Biff Bang, "Poser in the Spotlight," or whatever may be the title of his office. We do not believe that the Negroes holding office here really desire having "Hon." appear before their names in print, and the title of their office grandiloquently follow their name. If they do then, to be plain, they must be a bunch of immodest, conceited jackasses, and we do not believe they are. It is about time to ring the changes on the much used, and much abused prefix "Hon." and give the plain, simple, ordinary "Mr." a show for his white alley. HELPING LIBERIA The Taft administration's plans, quietly formed, to help struggling Liberia, as announced in the newspapers last Sunday, has sent joy to every race-loving Negro. According to the published account, this plan contemplates the taking over of the debt of the black republic, which amounts to approximately $1,500,000, and the furnishing of capital by American capitalists, to develop the resources of the African Republic, the same as was done in Cuba and Santo Domingo. With the debt of the Republic refunded, and capital furnished to develop the rich, immensely rich natural resources of that country it would not be long until it became a contented and prosperous country. The President and his Secretary of State deserve, and will receive the gratitude of every Negro in this country, as well as in Liberia and throughout the dark continent because of the decision to render Liberia practical help. If the Taft administration did nothing more than to make it possible for Liberia to be an independent, prosperous, sovereign country, this one achievement would stand as the greatest service to the race since the right of suffrage was conferred on the American Negro. But President Taft is so deeply interested in the future of the race that he will, at every opportunity, strive to ameliorate the condition, and advance the interests of the race. President Taft is to be thanked and praised for his sincere efforts to save Liberia to herself. What Liberia needs now, and needs badly, is money to take care of her burdensome debt, and develop the country, and high class, honest, earnest, unselfish men from this country to assist the people of that country to institute needed reforms in the government. And this is the aim of President Taft. The Jim Crow Negro the side door and take his seat in a separate department made for him. Stand on the outside of the Academy and watch the "Jim Crow" Negro purchase admission tickets for the pea-nut gallery. The "Jim Crow" Negro may be found anywhere in town. He would rather eat from a slop can used by a white firm than to sit at a first-class table presided over by his own people. The Bee has said time and again that there are two up-to-date moving picture theatres, far superior to those who "Jim Crow" the Negro, but seems that this "Jim Crow" Negro prefers to appeal to the white ticket seller for admission and be refused. The "Jim Crow" Negro is not only among the lower classes, but you will find them among the more intelligent colored Americans. A delegation of colored women set out to boycott a certain moving picture theatre because they heard that the colored man was running it for a white man, and yet these self-same individuals would rather take a seat in a "Jim Crow" theatre conducted by a white man. The "Jim Crow" Negro is not only an idiot, but he lacks common decency. Whenever you see a "Jim Crow" Negro put a stamp on him. He should be marked and discarded from decent society. The Bee proposes to make known the "Jim Crow" Negro. If a white man wants the money of a colored man let the colored man be given the same consideration that is given his white patrons. Let the churches, societies and all other organizations spot and ostracise the "Jim Crow" Negro. WAR ON DANCING Our esteemed friend, the Rev. Dr. Waldron intends to make war on dancing among certain classes of colored people. That is, the working class or those who go down the river on excursions. The Bee has the highest respect for Dr. Waldron, but would he not be doing society a favor if he would start with those up in the world such as that affair that happened with those naval officers a few weeks ago? Does, Dr. Waldron know that the citizens of Bloodfield would have behaved better? Is Dr. Waldron consistent? There are no vulgar dancing down the river or in the halls in which many of the dances take place. How does Dr. Waldron know the success he has ever had, as well as the�orned, where he was?

Dr. Waldron intends to make war on dancing among certain classes of colored people. That is, the working class or those who go down the river on excursions. The Bee has the highest respect for Dr. Waldron, but would he not be doing society a favor if he would start with those up in the world such as that affair that happened with those naval officers a few weeks ago? Does Dr. Waldron know that the citizens of Bloodfield would have behaved better? Is Dr. Waldron consistent? There are no vulgar dancing down the river or in the halls in, which many of the dances take place. How does Dr. Waldron know about the character of dances? He never attends? He should not consider hear-say testimony. Such evidence would not hold in law. The doctor should visit a few of these dances and The Bee assures him that the denizens of Foggy Bottom or Bloodfield would teach him a lesson and he would be a wiser man so far as dancing is concerned. The pulpit is in need of more reformation than the dancing of which Dr. Waldron speaks. Studying the educational and business condition of the Cuban people Dr. Shepard and his party left Havana for Matanzas They were accompanied by Senator M. Morua Delgado, President of the Cuban Senate and a party of representative Cuban gentlemen. At the station this distinguished party was met by the mayor of Matanzas and a delegation of citizens who bade them welcome. In the party was the brother of Governor, the Mayor and delegation, escorted the visiting gentlemen to the Hotel Gran Paris, where the Mayor entertained, all at an elaborate breakfast. In a speech he declared the visiting gentlemen the guests of the city. Afterwards automobiles were placed at the disposal of the gentlemen and for five hours every point of interest in the city was visited, including the celebrated caves of Matanzas. Matanzas is the birth place of Senator Delgado. IN CUBA Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen and read with interest the reception that was tendered Dr. James E. Shepard and his party in Cuba by the Cuban government. There is no man in this country who is receiving any more honors and attention than Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. The work that Dr. Shepard has started in the South will no doubt be a monument to the Southern colored people. The young colored men of Durham, N. C., are enterprising and progressive. The largest colored insurance company in the world is at Durham, N. C. The Bee congratulates Dr. Shepard and his friends on their successful tour of the South and Cuba. The editor of The Bee has been for several years trying to find out the secret to Marion T. Clinkscales' success as a lawyer and he believes he has made the discovery. For several days and nights Mr. Clinkscales has been absent and last Monday morning the Editor inquired where where had he been, and the reply was: "I have been wrestling with the Angels and would not let them go until they had blessed my client." Well, did the angels bless your soul, Mr. Clinkscales? "Yes, indeed; when a lawyer has a good client, that fact alone is a blessing. You see my client had a just cause of action against the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railway Company, and I filed her suit and wrestled in open court with the angels of Justice and Right and would not let them go until they delivered to my client a blessing. Tell me something about the case, Clink? "Well, in the first place on August 8th, 1906, Agnes C. Brent boarded a car of the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railway Company bound for Hall"s Hill, Virginia and when she reached the Virginia line she was requested to get out of her seat and go into the part of the car designated for colored people; she refused to go and they placed her under arrest, carried her to jail, threw her in a cell and she remained there until after midnight and for some cause or other they turned her loose and she had to walk two or three miles to her home in the night time. The case has been before the court for nearly four years and has been tested upon every ground known to the law that governs such actions and I have been keeping quiet for I knew that it touched the heart and soul of the "Jim Crow" car law, and I wanted to test the point relating to Interstate passengers. On the 17th of January, 1910, we went to trial and the court ruled and so instructed the jury that any person, white or black leaving the District of Columbia and going to any place outside of the District was not subject to the "Jim Crow" car law, nor any person boarding any train, vessel or other vehicles used in transporting passengers from one State to another or PETER H. HARRIS ATTORNEY M. CLINKSCALES from any State to the District of Columbia, is not subject to the "Jim Crow" car law. So that any person being arrested for refusing to go to the place or section of the car vessel or vehicle designated and set apart under any of the "Jim Crow" acts has a right, if arrested for so refusing, an action against the company for false arrest and imprisonment and is entitled to compensatory damages. This was our contention at the trial and the jury gave a verdict in favor of my client for the sum of seven hundred and fifty ($750) dollars with cost as compensatory damages. What effect will this have on the "Jim Crow" car law? "It will not have any effect on the "Jim Crow" car law, but it will have serious effect on the persons, or companies who attempt to enforce the "Jim Crow" car law. As the law now stands it cannot be applied to Interstate passengers, because the United States has a superior right in enforcing all laws governing Interstate transportation of persons, goods and commodities and under the Constitution no State has the power or the right to legislate into law any regulation governing the transportation of Interstate passengers. This right is exclusive with Congress and if Congress never acts it remains still exclusive with them. I have been criticised for not saying anything about this important matter, but I do not believe in talking at the "Big Gate," but do the work and the world will know all and judge for itself. BLUE LODGES The reamins of Brother John F. Cook, Past Grand Master were buried from the 15th St. Presbyterian Church, Thursday, January 27th, under the auspices of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F. A. A. M., escorted by the Grand Commandery of the D. C. The funeral ceremonies at the church were very impressive, Rev. Grimkie officiating, assisted by Rev. Dr. Thirkield, Prof Tundle and Dr. Waldron of Shiloh. The basis of the pastor's text being, "That Man Livih and shall not see Death." He paid a high tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased as to his social and political life. The eulogies by Dr. Waldron and Prof. Tunnell were both timely and appropriate, in these they spoke of the many offices that Brother Cook had filled under the District government, also the great interest that he manifested along educational and charitable lines. Brother Cook being the trustee of the Old Folks' Home and Howard University. The Colridge-Taylor Chorus rendered in the beautiful hymns "Abide With Me," "Lead Kindly Light" and others.

SCOTT'S DEFENSE His Manly Fight for Justice One of the manliest and most fearless presentations of a case which has ever been made in the courts of the District of Columbia by any man was the defense by Armond W. Scott, esq., in the Police Court last week on behalf of Miss Louisa Phillips, who was arrested upon a charge of assaulting a street car conductor. The conductor claimed that some words ensued over the question of a transfer, and without any provocation, the young lady slapped him in his mouth. Two white women also testified on behalf of the conductor and said that they saw Miss Phillips slap the conductor in the face. The conductor, after a severe cross-examination by Attorney Scott, admitted that he came from the eastern part of Maryland, and that he had only lived in the District of Columbia for about nine months. Miss Phillips took the stand and testified in her own behalf and that she was provoked by the conductor's insolence and discourtesy. Attorney Scott, in making his argument to Judge Kimball, among other things said, that there was a so-called chivalrous feeling in the breasts of certain people throughout this country for womanhood, but that they did not apply it to all women. He said, however, that he thanked God, that when He created him, He gave him a heart big enough and broad enough to impell him to lift his voice or arm in defense of any woman, be she white or be she black. "In this case, your Honor, you have the ridiculous spectacle of a burly man coming into a court house and going upon the witness stand and admitting under oath, that a frail, weak woman smacked him in his face, and saying that he stood there and took it and said nothing. On the other hand, you have the woman who went upon the stand and testified, that she was on the car, sitting in a quiet and orderly manner, that she had paid her fare, and afterwards asked for a transfer, and was thereupon insulted by this youngster of an upstart, who had recently come from the country and was now occupying the very, very lofty and exalted position of a street car conductor. "I appeal to you, Your Honor, to acquit this young woman, because much depends upon your decision in maintaining peace and good order in this community. If your should convict her, there might be some bum or loafer, who is not sitting under the sound of your voice, who might take it as a license to go out from here and insult Negro women, and they might happen to run up against the wrong man's sister or wife. We encounter no hostility from the better classes of the people of this community who have red blood, in their veins. The trouble only comes from the poorer classes, or the scum element." Lawyer Scoot took occasion to say that his client had done what any other woman should have done under the circumstances, and that she had set a splendid example for her down-trodden sisters. It was the good fortune of the edi- tor of The Bee to be present in court at the time this case was tried, and he heartily commends this brave young Negro for the manly fight which he made on this occasion on behalf of the Negro womanhood of this community.

It is related that in passing through her husband's library recently the attention of the empress of Japan was attracted to a peculiar-looking machine. On learning that it was a typewriter, and having it explained to her, she became interested and began to hit the keys. Now, it is said, she does a good deal of correspondence for the emperor. It is further reported that Queen Al exandra of England, Queen Maude of Norway, the czarina and the queen of Portugal are all fond of using the typewriter in corresponding with their intimates. It is probable that all of them put together do not use the machine as much as Carmen Silva, the queen of Romania, who rattles her poems and stories on a typewriter—St. Nicholas. Treating Tree Wounds. Plastic slate, that is to say, moldable slate, is a mixture formed by combining about one part of coal tar and four parts of slate dust and is recommended for covering large wounds in trees. This mass must be about the consistency of a not too thick glazier's putty, so that it can be balled and rolled out in the hand. Slate dust can easily be made by crushing small pieces of slate.

Did as He Was Told Some years ago the Yankee schooner Sally Ann under command of Capt Spooner, was beating up the Connacht river. Mr. Comstock, the maze was at his station forward. According to his notion of things the schooner was getting a "leetle" too near: contain mud flats which lay along the law board shore, so aft he went to the captain and with his hat cocked on one side said: "Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a leetle too close to them flats. Hadn't ye better go about?" The captain glared at him. "Mr. Comstock, jest you go for ard and tend to your part of the skuonon I'll tend to mine." Mr. Comstock went for ard in high dudgeon. "Boys," he bellowed out, "see that ar mud book's all clear for lettin' got" "Ay, ay, sir!" "Let go, then!" he roared. Down went the anchor, out rattled the chains, and like a flash the Sally Ann came lujing into the wind, and then brought up all standing. Mr. Comstock walked aft and touched his hat. M. W. H. H.

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

It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are.

The 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 PATENT DRAWING CRAFTING, 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.

ART OF LIFE SAVING GREAT AVENUE SAFE 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, France 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. 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 Parts 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 vaducts. The first of these matters Garden of the Tuillerles, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as its expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tsreets, notably the grand boulevards. The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Coura 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 venders. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the bables. 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 Pont 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 Berri. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bois de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Aro the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famous woods. Is the latest, most remarkable, and most advanced Negro story ever written by a Negro and is dedicated by the author, Robert Louis Waring, of Washington, D. C., a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia, "To Those Negro Men Who Dare Defend the womanhood of their Race," the foreword of which is given below in full, is now in the hands of the publishers. Those who are familiar with Mr. Waring's caustic style of writing and his grasp of radical questions know that a very rare treat is in store for them. All book-lovers and persons interested in the solution of the great race problems that now confront us should mail orders for this book at once, as only a limited number of the first issue will be available. Foreword Inasmuch as the title to this work, "As We See It," may be a little obscure, I offer the following explanation for its adoption: Books upon books have been written bearing on the Negro question, but none have told the story as "we" see it. By "we," I mean educated Negroes, those of cultured families of the third and fourth generations, that class of Negroes who can but see things as other men of their mental caliber see them, who feel the sting of race prejudice most keenly, and at whom the damnable laws of the South are aimed. The "Jim Crow Nigger" is always in evidence in such books and is always welcome, a fit companion for those who father the "Jim Crow Law" industry. This work is intended to reveal two sides of Southren life, which are carefully obscured, let alone or deliberately misstated by newspapers and magazine writers. Firse, we picture that class of Negroes who are doing something, whose lives, whose homes, and whose successes are the same as those of other men, and who in the aggregate have accumulated more than two hundred and fifty millions in fifty years, starting from zero. That class of American citizens whom the calamity howlers are careful to keep in the background, that class whom the Southern press persists in misrepresenting, even to the point of maliciously lying. Second, we aim to represent in their true charter the other class, lower, both morally and mentally than the Negro, and who marry in and out families closely connected—first cousin to first cousin, great uncle to niece, step-brother to step-sister, brother to brother's wife, father to step-daughter, adult men to thirteen-year-old girls, etc., etc., (these marriages may account for their degeneracy more certainly than the newly discovered hookworm), who can boast, and who do boast of being of the fourth and fifth generation of those who can neither read nor write, and whose utter disregard for the property rights or lives of other men is seldom commented upon by writers. The citizen the cracker, who is not multiplying as his birth rate would indicate, for his young die in great numbers in babyhood, owing to a lack of intelligent care; his young also dying in large numbers because of the lax enforcement of the child labor laws; these people who hold the South today in political thraldom, and whose uplift through education or the infusion of live blood is the only possible means left the white people of the South by which they can hope to keep ahead of the progressive Negro, present the true problem of the South. So long as the discriminatory laws remain inforce in the South, just so long will the Negroes, as a whole, continue to outstrip the whites, as a whole. Every intelligent Negro who is doing something, and who reads of what his brothers are doing, knows that he is leaving the Southern white man for behind. The cracker knows this also. To illustrate: Was there ever a large business of any character, a store, a bank, an insurance company, a school, college, or what not, organized, built up, controlled, by a man or woman who sprang from the cracker element of this country? Hundreds of such enterprises are owned and controlled by Negroes who were slaves. This non-progressive citizen, is, however, held up to the world, not in his true light, a worthless trouble-seeking cancer fastened to the body politic by his "God given right" (?) to vote, but as a poor struggling white man whose chances for gaining a livelihood are curtailed by the presence of thrifty Negroes who are bent on removing the bar to their manhood, placed there by the State. These things, apparent to all Negroes, and which should be apparent to all persons educated in American schools, and also to those who observe the trend of American ideas, are ev- er before the educated Negro. But even with conditions as they now are, with the Negro moving along the lines he is pursuing, the time is not far distant when a change will come over the land. The popularity of the doctrine of rope and torch for the Negro is on the wane, the apostles of that doctrine have been relegated to the rear. New ideas, more progressive have taken hold on the popular mind. In a few more generations the Negro will be the man, a true American ready and willing as he has ever been to fight and die for the flag that now protects him—not. JEANETTE C. JACKSON Mrs. Jeanette C. Jackson, a native of this city, died Thursday night, the first instant, at 1 o'clock. Deceased was the widow of Ephram E. Jackson of South Carolina who temporarily resided here. Funeral services were held at her late residence, 1914 3rd street, n. w., last Monday afternoon. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Belle W. Kelly and Miss Marjory Smith. Thomas H. Thompson, formerly of Utica, New York, but for many years a resident of this city died suddenly last Saturday morning of pneumonia.

PASSING OF PARLOR CARPET Modern Methods of Living Turn to the Rug as the More San- itary. Modern methods of living are asserting themselves more and more very day. For some peculiar reason man always has assumed the prerogative of supplying what he considered the unilitarian portions of the home, and to woman has been delegated its ornamentation, but in the last few years ideas have been changing in this regard and women have become not only the largest buyers, but the finest judges of the necessities, as well as the luxuries of everyday existence. Only a few years ago the height of womanly ambition in household decoration or idea was a Brussels carpet in the "best room," a floor covering that was often put over a cushion of straw and left to gather dampness, dust and germs, sometimes for years, in the unused parlor. Anyone who has been around at spring cleaning and caught a view of the dirt which has sifted through the carpet was certainly appalled at the sight. For many years this floor covering was considered the acme of elegance, and the woman in comfortable circumstances who would have had the temerity to substitute hardwood floors and rugs for the old-fashioned carpet would have been considered as decidedly eccentric and ostravagant. Haunted Alaskari Island. To the south and west of Kodiak, distant about 100 miles, and forming one of the Semidil group, is the island of Chirikof, the haunted island of Alaska. Enshrouded for a great portion of the time with almost impenetrable fog, the Tanna Tribune says, this lonely isle is an object of terror to the natives, who will not go near the island, saying it means certain death to invade the canny confines, and there are few men in the far north who have the temerity to test the truth of the many and weird tales told of this forbidding and barren island. Shlpmasters and sailors passing the place assert that the agonizing cries of Russian exiles sent there to starve or die of torture are sometimes heard on quiet nights, while the clink of chains and the sound of blows are testified to in an idaidayit by a white man who once attempted to remain there for a week and who lost his reason. Legend Proved True. A curious legend surrounding a country estate in the Meon valley, Hampshire, which has been fulfilled with painful reality, has set the whole country-side talking. The story concerns the death at Corhampton house, Corhampton, of Mr. Campbell-Wyndham, J. P., who on the death of his mother on September 8, last year, succeeded to an estate around which a legend runs that a male heir will not live over 12 months after succession. Mr. Campbell-Wyndham was the first male heir for generations. In the last stage of his illness, Mr. Wyndham prophesied that he would die in bed 12 months to the day his mother passed away, and by a truly remarkable coincidence, he died a few minutes after midnight on that very day.—London Mall. Extreme Politeness "Although he overcharged me terribly," says the returned traveler, "the cab driver who took me over Paris was most polite." "All Frenchmen are," we observe "Yes, but this one got off his box and helped me find, the necessary profanity in my French-English dictionary, so that I might say what I thought of him."—Exchange. Editor of The Bee: Couched in the strongest and most vigorous language of which one is capable, and exhibiting the most beautiful and brotherly spirit, Dr. J. Henning Nelms, of the Church of the Ascension, before a large and eager audience of the Bible College, at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, on last Wednesday night, flatly denied the remarks attributed to him by the press, wherein he was made to insinuate that the colored race is lacking in patriotism. The Doctor's gestures and entire manner betokened great earnestness and sincerity, and we believe what he says. Dr. Nelms defined the tests of patriotism as being loyalty, religion, purity and industry. He declared that the world does not know the cofored race—that it is as loyal, and, hence, as patriotic as any race under the sun; that it is innately loyal. Its industry has been proven; as to its purity, it suffers nothing by comparison with other races. The colored race is nothing, if not religious. We are happy to believe that Dr. Nelms has been misquoted and misrepresented, and we hasten to give the widest publicity to this disclaimer and thus aid in setting him right.
