PROF DUBOIS Lecture on John Brown --- Recalls Criticism of the Life of John Brown Prof W. E. B. DuBois delivered his lecture on John Brown, in this city last week. It is hard at this late day, to add anything to the history of John Brown. However, Prof. DuBois, is a very polished speaker, and a man of great mentality. His life of John Brown, from which a purely, literary view point, meritorious, according to The New York Evening Post is full of inaccuracies. The Post reviewing it said: That so gifted a writer as the author of "Souls of Black Folk" should be tempted to write a new life of John B in from the point of view of the Negro is easily understood. It also goes without saying that Dr. DuBois has made a readable volume of his appreciation of the martyr of 1859, the fiftieth anniversary of whose execution is now at hand. So little the Negroes themselves done to honor the memory of John Brown that this book might have taken on a special significance. But Dr. DuBois's work is disappointing in that it betrays no original research and abounds in inaccuracies. This is partly because he has relied upon his predecessors in the field. He is the eight serious biographer His is the eight serious biographer John Brown to appear and unfortunately only one or two of these were written in the spirit or manner of the historian who desires to be impartial and to go to original sources for his information. Thus Col. R. J. Hinton's book is frankly a brief for Brown, and Mr. Sanborn's biography, treasure-house of material, suffers from the author's association with the preparations for Harper's Ferry. It is, moreover, twenty-four years old and since its publication much has come to light, both in Kansas and elsewhere, which is of importance to the interpreter of Brown and his times. For this and other reasons, Dr. DuBois leaned upon untrustworthy slaves when he relied upon his predecessors. A few examples will suffice. He accepts Col. Hinton's attribution to Edmund Babb of Cincinnati of the anonymous letter of August 20, 1859, betraying Brown's exact plans to Secretary Floyd. But it has been known for years that David J. Gue, now living in New York city, was the author of that letter and that it was written not to injure Brown, but to save his life by heading off the raid. The full story Dr. DuBois will find in Benjamin F. Gue's valuable "History of Iowa," published in 1903. Again, he follows Redpath in accusing the Border Ruffians of wholesale assaulting of women in the early Kansas days. In the entire range of Kansas literature and manuscripts now available, there are but two recorded instances of this crime, and these are by no means wholly established, for at least one rests only upon Redpath's word when acting as correspondent of an Eastern newspaper. Dr. DuBois also assumes, with another biographer that John Brown's victims on the Pottowatomie had the benefit of some sort of trial. But not a scintilla of evidence has yet been produced to confirm this belief. Indeed, the facts all make against it. Again, Dr. DuBois accepts without investigation the repeated statements that John Brown was descended from Peter Brown of the Mayflower, although this is denied by the foremost authorities on the Mayflower genealogies. Finally, it must be noted that Dr. DuBois follows Sanborn, Hinton and others in justifying the abominable Pottowatomie massacre, which had it been perpetrated by Border Ruffians, would have been denounced as a crime against humanity. But Dr. DuBois's own errors are numerous enough. He makes of George B. Gill, Brown's Kansas follower, a Canadian (p. 223), whereas he was an American; to Jeremiah G. Anderson of Indiana, born of sturdy, white farmer parentage, he attributes Negro blood (p. 282), and Lewis Sheridan Leary, a free-born Negro, becomes slave-born on the same page and is dubbed Lewis Sheridan Leary as well. Of the THE BEE WASHINGTON professional libraries twenty-two raiders, Dr. DuBois says that "six or seven" were Negroes; he adds John Anderson, a mythical raider, and Jeremiah G. Anderson to the five actual Negroes Leary, Copeland, O. P. Anderson, Green, and Newby. Incredible as it may seem, Dr. DuBois records that seventeen Negroes were "probably killed" in the raid, when, besides four of Brown's Negroes, Leary, Copeland, Green, and Newby but two slaves lost their lives, and neither of these while fighting. He accepts also, in all its absurdities, the narrative of O. P. Anderson, the Negro who escaped, and endorses it as a trustworthy document. Yet Anderson insisted, for one thing, that there were thirty men killed on the Southern side, in the face of Col. Robert E. Lee's official report to President Buchanan that there were but five deaths, all told, in addition to John Brown's own losses; and Lee is yet to be accused of falsifying facts or failing to obtain them. Dr. DuBois is not, however, to be bound even by John Brown's words, for he evolves the astounding theory that the raid failed through the delay of the rear-guard in Maryland in moving the arms into Harper's Ferry before the trap into which Brown had walked was sprung. But, unfortunately, for this, Brown repeatedly stated while in jail that he deserved to be hanged for his military blundering (for instance see New York Herald, November 24, 1859), and he assured Gov. Wise and others that his care for his prisoners led him to delay too long, despite the warnings of his men that he must leave the town at once. Part of Dr. DuBois's difficulty here is due to his belief that William Thompson, Brown's messenger to the rear-guard, failed to reach it. If he should read Terence Byrne's testimony before the Senate Committee of Inquiry and John E. Cook's confession, he would not only ascertain that Thompson did carry out his instructions, but find many details with which he is now unacquainted. Coming to John Brown's trial, Dr. DuBois says that the jury "was empanelled without challenge," al- MINISTERS MEET — INDORSE HUMANE BILL. At a meeting of the Evangelical Ministers Alliance of Washington and Vicinity, held yesterday afternoon in Shiloh Baptist Church at which were present fifty-five pastors of churches of almost every denomination among the colored people in the District of Columbia, the following resolutions were offered by Rev. Dr. Waldron and unanimously passed. Be it Resolved by the Evangelical Ministers Alliance of Washington and Vicinity that we indorse the laws already in force in the District of Columbia against cruelty to animals and that we disapprove of the Before leaving the altar Hon. Lady efforts being made to change these laws." "Be it Resolved, secondly, that we commend the good work being done by the Washington Humane Society for the suppression of cruelty to children and animals and that we will do all in our power, consistent with our calling as ministers of the gospel, to strengthen and enlarge the work of this Society; and be it resolved, finally, that the pastors of the Evangelical Ministers Alliance of Washington and Vicinity hereby promise to preach a special sermon to their congregations at some convenient time within the next three months upon the duty of kindness and mercy towards dumb brutes." During Dr. Waldron's address he said, in part: "While the Washington Humane Society causes many arrests and convictions each year of offenders of the law prohibiting cruelty to animals, it, except in rare instances, does not prosecute for the first offense, but seeks by counsel and dissemination of information and by warning, to turn the offender from the error of his way, and thus improve the condition of the abused animal and make arrests unneces- WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY MARCH 12 1910 [Name] MR. SIDNEY BIEBER, COLLECTOR OF THE PORT OF GEORGE TOWN, D. C. sary." The Washington Humane Society was organized in 1870 and is modeled after the New York. Society which was brought into being in 1866, and which, in turn, is fashioned after the Humane Society of England, which was started in 1824. The constitution, objects and method of work of this Society are the same as those of the Humane Society of New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and other larger cities of the country. "It would seem that no person who is properly informed upon the great need of the suppression of cruelty to animals in this city or who has taken the pains to investigate the excellent work done by the Washington Huinane Society could be opposed to this organization and its work, but sad to say this is not the case; for just now an effort is being made by a certain organization, namely, "The Horse Owners Association" to have Congress pass a bill which, should it become a law, would destroy the Washington Humane Society and bring back into practice the cruel treatment of animals which was so common in this city before this Society entered upon the work of suppression of cruelty to animals 40 years ago. The Horse Owners Association, which, by the way, represents only a very small portion of the owners of horses in the District of Columbia, is opposed to the law which forbids cruelty to animals, and as the Washington Humane Society represents that law in force, they, naturally, oppose this Society, for most of the officers and many of the members of the Horse Owners Association of the District of Columbia have been fined for cruelty to animals. This nation cannot afford to take the backward step proposed in the Horse Owners bill, and especially should Congress refrain from doing so at this time for during the second week in October of this year, the International Conference of the Humane Societies of the world is to be held in this city, and during the same week, the American Humane Association, composed of all the Humane Societies in America is to assemble here. These two organizations will bring to this city many hundreds of leading men and women from all parts of the civilized world, and the citizens of Washington and the Congress of the United States would not dare to look these men and women in the face after having placed upon the Statute Books a law abolishing the Washington Humane Society and nullifying the laws preventing cruelty to animals. Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, presided at the meeting, and Rev. Mr. Alleyne, of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church presented a paper upon "Evolution and Genesis," and Rev. Dr. Ernest W. Lyons, Minister from this country to the Republic of Liberia, and the Military Attache Lieut. Davis were introduced to the meeting and made brief addresses. The ladies of Shiloh Church served all present with a free lunch at the conclusion of the meeting. SIDNEY BIEBER COLLECTOR Mr. Sidney Briber, National Committeeman for the District of Columbia, has been nominated by President Taft, Collector of the Port at Georgetown, D. C.

To the Editor of The Bee. I dropped in the Baptist Ministers' Union at the Walker Memorial Baptist Church last Monday to see what the preachers were doing. I thought that I would catch them arranging memorial exercises to their late leader, Dr. Geo, W. Lee. But to my surprise, I found them passing resolutions to start another Training School, in opposition, it would seem to me, of the Baptist Training School, represented by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Rev. Waldron, Howard, Lamkins and others, advised against such a course. Dr. W. H. Brooks said that the school would be still-born. Nevertheless, after they were gone, the resolution was passed. Rev. Toliver had a long set of resolutions striking at the R.v. S. G. Lamkins' Church, because they granted the use of their pool to the Asbury M. E. Church to baptize some candidate, a few Sundays ago. They are to speak against the Methdists next Monday, at which time the resolutions will be discussed. Rev. Gordon is heading the Training School movement. I wondered what kind of Christianity they had A Spectator. LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Lincoln Memorial Building Company, called by the President, Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, last Monday evening, many things of vital importance to the company and its stockholders were considered and adopted, to be carried into immediate effect. The most important step taken was that of employing a General Field Agent to take over the management and directing of all agents of the company, and placing the stock on the market in every feasible way possible. It is the plan to give this General Field Agent absolute authority in arranging semi-monthly meetings of stockholders and all others who may be interested, and employing additional agents from all sources. It was decided that this person is to be a colored man of strong business capabilities, and a man of determination and energy necessary to push the movement to a successful end. The selection of this GeneralAgent was deferred one month so as to permit those who have applied for this position, and others who may desire a place of this kind, to compete for one month in selling the stock, the one selling the greatest number of shares to be given the first consideration. The Lincoln Memorial Building Company is, according to the number of subscribers and stockholders, in a most flourishing condition, and it is the intention of the company to push this theatrical proposition to a final success within the very near future. Mr. George W.Robinson, of Southwest Washington, has already been authorized to establish a branch office in that section of the city and to employ agents and make a thorough canvass. Other sections of the town will be similarly covered as soon as available men for these responsible positions can be secured. WHY NOT? Mr. Editor:: I believe the Negro men of Washington should wake up and wash off selfishness and dress up in sociability and tip their hats to females in rememberance of their mothers and sisters. Why not? I believe if it was not for the Negro Lawyers in this city the jail and work-house would not hold the Negro prisoners, and our Lawyers should be invited by the preachers to lecture once a month. I believe our Negro doctors could pull down the death rate by lecturing to the people once a month. Why not? Subscribe and stop borrowing "The Bee." Why not? L. C. Moore. CHRISTIAN WOMANHOOD Rev. Simon Drew Speaks Before Young Women's Association. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist Church, delivered a sermon on Christian womanhood before the Young Women's Christian Association, Sunday afternoon. He said in part: "As we bring to our minds the wonderful story of the crucifixion, there is always in the background of the picture that group of women. The disciples had fled and left Him; most of his friends had been afraid to go near the cross, but you could not keep His mother away. You could not keep the women who loved Him away. God; whom Christianity delighted to worship, had been upon the earth and had a mother, and could not turn that mother out of the Christian religion, or even keep her at the door. I like to think that we owe to the meekness and the purity of Mary the position of womanhood today in our own land. "It was because of Mary and the worship of her and what she represented and what she stood for, and the idolization of her that man at last, in his roughness and smoothness, his masculine regards of simple things, and the more fragile and delicate side of life, came to bow his head to the ideal of the feminine. It is through Mary, mother of Jesus, that today womanhood stands in her proper place beside manhood." ATTORNEY L. M. KING Attorney L. M. King, who represented the Atkin faction of Elks at Delaware last January 3th and 6th, is daily receiving congratulations for the part he took in bringing together the two grand lodges. Mr. King is now making preparations in conjunction with local lodges to entertain the Grand Lodge of Elks, July 26 to 29, next. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B.

Love cf Sea and Adventure an Inher Mad Trait—Ambltlous to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Jenustown, Pa—Tho movement from Maine to Cambria county, inthe fifties, which brought te this district the prominent Barker and other familes, also made {t possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in-the county, te elaim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut, Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most per sistent Arctle explorer of modern times and clatmant for the title of | Discoverer of the Pole.

Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber Induatry with its vast tim: Der acreage, but for some reason the ‘elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa, also 9 virgin wooded land, better sulted for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary’s naval eareer sheds an inter- esting light on the question of in. herited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, trans planted 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 in terfor, away from oven inland lakes.

Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin. of thé explorer and -who spells his name Perry, calls the Neutenant’s father Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Bark- er of Ebensburg {s 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 ig 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 ac cepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the orig: inal Peary home, and ts sald to actu- elly include a fragment of the old building. '_ It wes fm that house that Robert B. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father dled. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster townsh{p, recalls Peary’s birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance sway to fetch a physiclan. “Kill the horse if you have to,” Mr. Peary {s al- leged 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 Gal- Utizin, was buried amid a blizzard, “That was Iike the north pole {tself,” says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elisabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs Is the residence there of h{s cousin. Charles H.

PINAUD Bldg., New York Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Paephograph" to Foll Ballot Box Stuffers. Home.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boas 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 paephograph. So complete and satis SAMPLERS COMPARES INDEX VOTANTS 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 "title 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 Turia. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Aiding Victims of the Earthquake.

Mile, Luclenne Joly, 2 Hard-Working Seamstress Was Queen of the = French Capital's Autumn i Feast This Year. Paris—Aithough France is now a republic for the third time, her peo-” ple still seem to hanker alter royalty. and their taste runs in the direction of queens. They can’t have a regular. queen, of course, so they must be con- tented with queeus of a lowér degree,’ who are chosen in various trades and: various parts of France with all due ceremony. From time immemorial the trades- people of Paris have celebrated each carnival by electing a queen from among the work people, whose chief merit ts unusual beauty, the pride of birth being quite an unfmportant fac tor. The vegetable women select their queen, the grocers theirs, the fishmar- Ket makes {ts chofce and so on. Then these several chosen queens are brought together for an appointed committee to pass judgment on them. | ‘The queen receiving the largest num- ber of votes is raised to the highest honor and her title {s—Queen of the Queens. It fs a strange fact that for several years, with one exception, the fish market has furnished the Queaa of Queens for this Joyous fete. . This year the business men of Paris {naugurated a Fete d’Automme (at tumn feast), and October 2 and 3 .Were chosen as the days for the cele bration.

The delegates on arriving at the hall found 15 beauties sitting in state awaiting the decision of the judges. ‘The {dle, butterfly type was not repre sented, for the young woman who war to attain the supreme dignity of queen had to be taken from the ranks of the business women. After a zaoment’s contemplation the president of the committee, M.

The situation was most embarrassing. Gallantry is proverbial with the Frenchman, and to his chivalrous mind it was almost treason to select one to the discredit of the other candidates. A choice had to be made, however. Above each candidate was a number and each del- egate simply wrote the number of his preference on the slip provided for him and dropped it into a box. ‘The first count showed that the del- egates were of divers opinions and 20 one of the candidates had a majority. This necessitated another ballot.

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

Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY.

Old Colonial Records Show Act Was Attempted In 1658 - The Punishment. It is not necessary to give up our plons faith in the superior political morality of our forefathers when we learn that even in the first generation of Bostonians was found a ballot stuffer. 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 quiet records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated. The old chronicle runs: "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Selectmen were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz., John Pigeon, to put in about a dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of 'em, being charged with so doing, he acknowledged it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay a Fine of Five Pounds for putting in the settlement of Boston.

BJTTER WAS THE AWAKENING Sleeping Owner of Millions Brought Back to Earth by Stern Yet Modest Demand. "I dreamed last night that beginning with $100 I pyramided my bets on the stock market so that in a little while I had $2,000,000,000," said one of the artist colony in West Sixty-seventh street yesterday. "A crowd of people came to me and besought me to cease speculating. They pointed out that I had more money than I could ever spend and if I kept on I would own all there was in the world. I replied that I wanted a billion dollars more for my own use and that I proposed with the two billion I already had to establish a great institution where all the artists and writers and sculptors might work free from pecuniary annoyances, and raise the standard of beauty in all the arts throughout the world. The last man who came to beg me to stop making money was my attorney. I turned a deaf ear to his entreaties and finally he sternly demanded of me the two dollars and a half that I had borrowed from him last week. Then I woke up."—New York press.

C. Picturesque Feature of the Battleship Is Being Supplanted By a Structure of Steel. Boston.—One of the most picturesque features of the battleship is rapidly on its way to the scrap heap. The military mast, that heavy steel column of which most ships of Uncle Sam's navy carried a pair, fore and aft, which had fighting tops from the platforms of which machine guns could be used to pop away at torpedo boats or like craft, is being regarded as obsolete. The military mast was considered not so very long ago, a formidable feature of the equipment of a battleship. Now, it is being supplanted by a skeleton mast, a stranded structure of steel sufficiently open in its inter- New and Old Masts of the Battleship Missouri. lacing of supports to permit of the least possible damage from the shots of the enemy. It has been shown by experiments that this form of structure will stand the greatest amount of puncture from shots before it collapses, and so the navy department is replacing the more or less solid structures, with this grapevine arrangement. The new mast, while rising to the height of the topmast of the old style, is only about one-fifth of the weight, averaging about 7,000 pounds, as against 34,000 pounds of most masts of the old style. The height of the new masts from the water to the lookout is about 120 feet, or approximately the same as the old ones, but the "eye" of the ship is infinitely safer on the top of the new masts than it was on the top of the old wooden topmasts. The illustration very adequately shows the masts on the battleship Missouri recently fitting at the Charlestown navy yard, the foremast being the new model and the mainmast the old. NEGRO AT THE NORTH POLE Matthew Henson, Peary's Valet, Proves That Black Man Can Stand Coldest Weather. New York.—The general supposition that the negro can't stand cold weather and is a warm climate person only, is refuted in the case of Matthew Henson, Commander Robert E. Peary's personal servant. Among the interesting announcements connected with the north pole discovery was the statement that Henson was the only civilized person with Peary when the top ```markdown ``` Matthew Henson. of the world was discovered. Henson, in fact, says it was he who raised the stars and stripes at the "great rail" and that he taught the Eskimos to cheer when the American flag was unfurled. Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage. Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is stationed at Bermuda, is a brother of Lord Kitchener, and this fact has worked against him rather than for him. He is considered a clever soldier in England, and at the time of the war in South Africa it was thought that he would receive an important post that would become vacant. He was passed over and his brother, Lord Kitchener, was asked for the reason. "It should have gone to my brother," he said, "but if I had given it to him everybody would have yelled 'favoritism' at the top of their voices, so I picked someone else." Walter Kitchener was expected at Cape Town at a railway station once when an old lady rushed in excitedly and asked at what platform Lord Kitchener was expected to arrive. No one seemed to know anything about his visi- until it finally dawned upon the staff officer that she had heard of the arrival of his brother. He informed her that this was only Kitchener that was expected. "I call it a shame that this man, whoever he may be, should be allowed to use Lord Kitchener's name; the government ought to do something about it," she said, stalking majestically out of the station. "PEGGOTTY" HUT A SAD RUIN Yarmouth Scenes Which Dickens Described In His Story of "David Copperfield." London.—A Yarmouth hundred of herring really counts 132, and in many ways the inhabitants of the old town are credited with an open-handed gen erosity. Peggotty told David Copperfield, you remember, that it was the finest place in the universe, to which the boy replied that "a mound or two might have improved it, and also that if the land had been a little more separated from the sea and the town and the tide had not been quite so much mixed up, like toast and water, it would have been much nicer." But All that Is Left of Peggotty's Hut. presently, when he got into the streets and "smelt the fish and pitch, and oakum, and tallow, and saw the sailors walking about and the carts jingling up and down over the stones." Young Copperfield admitted that he had done Yarmouth an injustice. The remains of Peggotty's hut may still be seen, sad and forlorn, alas but suggestive nevertheless of the quaint home where David was so happy, of Peggotty's jokes, of little Emily's pretty ways and of the dolefulness of Mrs. Gummidge. There are many ancient buildings that have stood the test of time better than the queer boat-home of Peggotty. Formerly Yarmouth was one of the principal ports of England, and its merchant adventurers enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth. Its Tolhouse claims to be the oldest municipal building in the kingdom. WILSON WILL GO TO MEXICO Minister to Belgium to Succeed Ambassador Thompson in Neighboring Republc. Washington.—Henry Lane Wilson, American minister to Belgium, will soon be officially named to succeed David E. Thompson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Wilson has been notified of his appointment by the state department and is clearing up his business at the legation in Brussels pending his departure for his new post. Mr. Wilson, who is a native of Crawfordsville, Ind., has been in the diplomatic service since 1897, when he was appointed minister to Chile. He A. Henry Lane Wilson. became minister to Belgium in 1905. Before entering the diplomatic service Mr. Wilson was successively editor, lawyer and banker. He is a graduate of Wabash college. Concert givers in Germany find it more and more difficult to get an audience. Free tickets by no means insures one. A Berlin journal tells how audiences at recitals (Berlin often has more than 50 of them in one week) are apt to be made up. Miss N., who plays or sings, sends out about 200 tickets, some of them to prominent persons. One of these is the wife of Prof. X. She kindly accepts the ticket, but has no intention of attending the concert, so she gives them to her dressmaker, who in turn bestows them upon her assistants, who probably may go to the concert. In one case it was found that of 200 free tickets only 47 were used.—Musical America. Pulsation and Respiration. Before birth the average number of pulsations per minute is 150; in the newly born, 140 to 130; during the first year, 130 to 115; second year, 115 to 100; seventh year, 90 to 85; fourteenth year, 85 to 80; adult life, 80 to 70; old age, 70 to 60. At birth there are 44 respirations in one minute; at five years of age, 26; from 15 to 20, 20; from 20 to 25, 18.7; from 25 to 30, 16; from 30 to 50, 18.1. The average ratio which the number of respirations bears to the number of pulsations in a given time is $1:4\frac{1}{2}$. The temperature of a healthy human adult averages from 98.4 to 96.6, but 97.5 and 99 F. are within normal. W. C. MARTIN, ATTORNEY, SUPREME COURT OF THE DIS- No. 16353.

Episcopalians will put into new churches in Manhattan just as soon as contracts can be signed from $1,500,000 to $1,800,000. This sum does not include money being expended in completing the Cathedral of St. John the Divine as far as the choir and crossing, where fully another $500,000 is to go before the opening for public use can take place. There have been many rumors of changes in the plans of St. Thomas's Church, Fifth avenue and Fiftythird street. There has been discussion of a site further north, fronting Central Park, but it has stopped, and the new St. Thomas's will rise on the site of the one that burned in the summer of 1905. Bids are to be in hand not later than March 5. The temporary church in present use will be interfered with little, so the architects say. The structure will cost $1,000,000, possibly more. The estimated cost does not include rectory. St. Thomas's congregation has not in mind merely the erection of the costliest parish church in the world. It holds itself responsible to New York, it says, to provide a place of worship of a certain character. In spite of the fact that rector and vestry know the present site will soon be surrounded with big apartment hotels they regard that site as strategic and will follow the steps of St. Bartholomew's lower down, and remain on the present site. When the standing committee of the diocese of New York meets on March 3, formal application will be made to it by Trinity parish to move its chapel to the Intercession, formerly the parish church of that name, from Broadway and 158th street to Amsterdam avenue, on a plot within the bounds of Trinity Cemetery, probably at 154th street. It is likely that the new chapel will cost $500, 000, possibly $600,000, for the upper end of Manhattan Island is regarded as a very important field by the Episcopal mother parish of New York. Negro Episcopalians have a venerable Parish in St. Philip's on West Twenty-fifth street. The church has been sold, however, and plans are nearly ready for a new foundation in the upper end of Harlem, the site running through from 134th street. Work will be begun as soon as plans are ready and $150,000 will be expended. St. Philip's parish is probably the wealthiest Negro church in the United States.—New York Sun. OLD MADE NEW.
