L.XXX NO 46 An Ovation JUDGE INSTALLED Beautiful Decorations of Plants and Flowers Judge Mullowney Introduces the New Judge Members of the Bar Make Speeches Not before in the history of the Police Court has there ever been such a demonstration as that seen on last Monday morning when Judge James L. Pugh was presented to the court by Judge Alexander R. Mullowny. As Mr. Pugh, accompanied by Judge Mullowny, slipped to the bench the courtroom was taxed to its utmost capacity. Judge Pugh's appearance from the private offices was the signal for prolonged applause, which was only stillled after repeated orders for quiet on the part of the bailiffs. In introducing Judge Pugh as his associate on the Police Court bench Judge Mullowny paid him a high tribute, both as a lawyer and a friend. "It affords me great pleasure indeed to present to the members of the bar my associate on the bench here, James L. Pugh," said Judge Mullowny. "His long career as prosecuting officer for the District amply qualifies him for the position. Aside from our official relations; I have known Judge Pugh for many years and have come not only to appreciate him as a loyal and devoted friend, but as a capable, efficient and learned attorney. "He' is qualified both in temperament and legal capacity to fill the dual position of attorney and judge in the thousands of cases which come into this court annually when the unfortunates are not represented by counsel. He is just and merciful, as well as firm and unswerving in his sense of duty. JUDGE A. R. MULLOWNY Who Introduced Judge J. L. Pugh. Confidence of the Bar Judge Pugh not only has the confidence of the bar, but the confidence of the community, and they, as well as I, feel his career on this bench will be one which will bring only honor and credit to him. It is with a great deal of gratification personally that I have this pleasant duty of accompanying him on his first day as judge into this court." Following the introduction of Judge Mullowny, a dozen or more addresses were delivered by members of the Bar. That of William H. Hart, colored, a member of the faculty of the Howard University Law School, was the most unique owing to the fact that the speaker and Judge Pugh were boys in the latter's old home, Eufaula, Ala. His personal tribute to Judge Pugh was of a high order. "Today he has come to that position to which the race of Pughs are destined, to that, place which they were made to attain. He is following in the footsteps of his noble father and his grandfather, both of whom I knew and loved and respected for their manliness, their strength of character and their great mercies and kindness. All of these Pugh attributes, my friends, are centered in that member of the family who sits here on the bench," said Dr. Hart. "He and I were boys in southeastern Alabama. I have known the Pughs for many years, and know what the Pughs stand for and are. The Police Court bench of the District of Columbia is fortunate, indeed, to have one of them grace it. "I have seen no man in all my life here and all my experience here who is more fully equipped, both in temperament and in the law, to fill this delicate position where the administration of justice is directed to a vast extent toward members of the Negro race. It is so by the nature of the composite population of Washington, and because of that fact the services of a merciful, just, humane man, tempered with a complete knowledge of man's frailties, weaknesses and impulses, are required on this bench. We of the colored race are indeed fortunate in having James L. Pugh named as Police Court judge." Others who delivered addresses were Campbell Carrington, Thomas L. Jones, A. W. Scott, M. T. Clinkscales, R. H. Hughes, W. Calvin Chase, John Moss and P. J. Bacon. Each took occasion to pay a high personal tribute to Judge Pugh and extend wishes for a successful and honorable career on the bench. One of the humorous speeches delivered, was by Attorney M. T. Clinkscales, who unlocked the door to his soul in addressing the court, after Judge Pugh had been introduced by Judge Mullowny. In finishing his short speech he said: "I am happy when I see that your Honor, after riding through life like a proud old Hessian soldier, reached your home on the bench, I stand here at the gate to greet you. I knew you would come home some day and your Honor knew, I knew. There is my friend, Judge Alexander R. Mullowny who introduced you to us. I do not know what the "R" stands for in his name, but in my opinion, it stands for "Righteousness," and you see we have Alexander Righteousness Mullowny as one judge, and presents to us another friend, in the person of His Honor, James L. Pugh. I do not know what the "L" stands for, but I think the public will agree with me when I say it stands for Loving Pugh, and the name Pugh stands for purging the District of all sins against the law. So then we have here, Loving Righteousness and that superintended by Chief Justice Claybaugh, of the Supreme Court of the District, who watches and inspects the Clay from which justice is made and Chief Justice Shepherd, of the Court of Appeals of this District, who watches by day and night the formation of justice and then we have Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States Supreme Court, which to my mind means the fulness of justice itself. These great benches and their associates stand for true justice in life and if they make a mistake, then we appeal to the Court of Eternal God who delivers to all, justice in its purity and may it please your Honors, I thank the Almighty God that I am present this morning to witness the taking of his seat on this bench. James L. Pugh, one of the judges of the Police Court of the District of Columbia. "I would be less than a man if I were not touched by this manifestation of your kindness and confidence. Words with all their power fail to express my gratitude and thanks for this public expression of your confidence and regard. "I take this demonstration on your part as evidence of your good will, and I thank you gentlemen most sincerely for it all. This is no occasion for any extended remarks. Conscious of responsibility "You will permit me to add that I feel keenly the responsibility of the duties I am about to assume. I am fully aware of the fact that many citizens of all classes are brought before the Police Court for trial, and lest some wrong should be done, prudence, caution and care should be exercised by the judge in the investigation of every case. Counsel should be heard patiently, ample time should be given for the production of witnesses and for the preparation of the defense. I have had experience enough to know the importance of this, and I say now, through you to the public, that no man need fear that there will not be a cautious and careful investigation of every charge brought before me for decision. P. H. HON. CUNO RUDOLPH, COMMISSIONER OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WHO INTENDS TO GIVE COLORED AMERICANS RECOGNITION. Of course, I know that in all these criminal charges the property, the liberty and, above all, the character of the citizens are involved, and that it is the duty of the court to be ever mindful of this when a case is presented to it. "Thanking you again, gentlemen, for the kindness you have done me this morning, I will proceed without further remarks with the duties of the day." First Before New Judge The first case called for trial was that of George H. Barbour and George H. Hunter, charged jointly with disorderly conduct in the McKinley Memorial Church. They were fined ten dollars each. pulpit? Are they warning the people relative to taking the advantage of their weaker brother? A silent pulpit relative to the things which God would have men to do and not its workshop. It is the duty of the pulpit — both white and black alike — to preach against sin, and to warn men and women of the consequences. It is no uncommon thing to hear colored preachers urging upon their congregations to ever do their duty to their white neighbors, and to strive to be law-abiding citizens. How many of the white preachers thunder such truths from their sacred rostrums? Ah! the old gospel horse is one that few preachers dare to ride. But since it is well known that most of the preachers are in the MARYLAND POLITICS Democrats Continue to be Fools Against the Colored American. Editor of The Bee: Truly the devil has been turned loose in the State of Maryland, for a little season. Finding out that they could not persuade the people around to their way of thinking to rob the colored citizens of their ballot, and after having failed in their hellish attempt at several elections to accomplish the nefarious job, the unjust political hoodlums declare now that they intend to ignore the Fifteenth Amendment | to the Federal Constitution and disfranchise the colored voters of that state, regardless of the consequences. Maryland may do this, as the minority in that state say they intend to do, but if she is sober enough, after having been drunk from an overdose of Negrophobia for several years, will find it will not be a victory over the colored people alone; for this is a question—the question of ignoring the Federal Constitution — which concerns all of the people. The American people are, or they should be, as true to the Federal Constitution as they are true to the Stars and Stripes of this great nation; and the little boys and girls in the schoolhouses everywhere should be taught that, one is as sacred as the other — and that he who would destroy the American Constitution is none too good to attempt to destroy the flag! For the safety of our country the American people cannot very much longer afford to stand, with heads bowed, and allow a few unjust politicians to destroy the foundation of the government. Better stop the thing now ere it gets too far. To your tents, O Israel! But Maryland perhaps thinks she is too big to be obliged to stoop to so little a thing as the Federal Constitution. Too bad, that men, and taxpaying citizens of this country, regardless of their educational and property-owning qualifications, must be deprived of their ballot simply because God has seen fit to make their skin dark.What becomes of the voice of the white pulpit? Are they warning the people relative to taking the advantage of their weaker brother? A silent pulpit relative to the things which God would have men to do and not its workshop. It is the duty of the pulpit — both white and black alike — to preach against sin, and to warn men and women of the consequences. It is no uncommon thing to hear colored preachers urging upon their congregations to ever do their duty to their white neighbors, and to strive to be law-abiding citizens. How many of the white preachers thunder such truths from their sacred rostrums? Ah! the old gospel horse is one that few preachers dare to ride. But since it is well known that most of the preachers are in the business solely for the almighty dollar, caring nothing for the saving of the souls of lost men and women, we can but pity them and leave them in the hands of Him who hath said, "Let them alone until the day of my harvest." So we leave these preachers here and go back to Maryland. Pears to us that Maryland has bitten off, or is trying to bite off, a little more than she can masticate and swallow without giving herself a very bad case of stomach trouble. This thing of disfranchising the colored voters of Maryland means but granting only half freedom to those people who are loyal citizens of the United States. Here you will find many old colored soldiers of the Civil War who trudged through rain and snow to preserve the Constitution and the flag. They, too, are counted unworthy of citizenship and are denied the right to take any part in the selection of men who must make the laws which they must obey. This yoke of political oppression is getting heavier and heavier as the days go by; it is even getting to be galling to the neck — a thing which would cause even the ox to grow restless and shut his eyes and undertake to seek, relief. Although the colored people are loyal to their white friends and to their country's flag — being ever ready at the sound of the bugle to defend her honor — even the very murderers and anarchists from the slums of Europe find better protection here than is accorded them. And it is a lasting shame on the white American friends of justice and right to sit down and keep silent while these wrongs are being done the colored citizens of this country. We only asked for justice, and, like Rachel weeping for her children, will not be comforted with anything less. HOWARD WINS AT BASEBALL The crack baseball team of Howard University defeated the team from Fredericksburg Normal School, by an overwhelming score. THE MACEO SUCCESSFUL YOUNG MEN The Maceo Theatre, corner of Eleventh and You streets, northwest erected and opened by Mr. C. W. Childs has changed hands and Monday night, March 21st, it opened under a new management, Messrs J. Arthur Davis and C. T. T. Porter. Mr. Childs, deserves the credit of the community for building a playhouse of his home, thus putting his people upon an independent basis in a city where there is so much color prejudice. The new management has demonstrated its ability to succeed and already hundreds are turned away from the Maceo, unable to gain entrance. There have been several new features introduced in the Maceo. Hundreds of dollars worth of new improvements have been expended upon this new structure and next fall additional improvements will be added to the Maceo, thus making the seating capacity from 200 to 300. New and better talent has been secured from the Pekin theatre of Chicago, Ill., which will be put upon the stage next week. The Bee has been informed that the greatest comedian in the United States will no doubt be seen at the Maceo shortly. The senior manager of the Maceo is a young man of push and ability. His name is Mr. Davis, a college graduate of Roger Williams University and a student of Howard Law Department. Mr. Porter is an academic graduate of Roger Williams and a student of the Pharmaceutical Department of Howard University. Both young men have traveled widely over the U. S., making considerable study of theatrical work and houses, especially Chicago and New York. They have planned in connection with latest motion pictures, to use the best vaudeville talent available. Intelligent, moral and refined talent will be characterized features utilized. The house opened with the Famous Dixie Trio of New York, Messrs. Jennings, Porter and Hill, formerly with Cole and Johnson's Sho-Fly Regiment. The house has been packed to its capacity since their initial night. This week will close their engagement at the Maceo. A new vaudeville show begins Monday night, April 11th. It should be an inspiration to loyal Afro-Americans to enter the Maceo, the most beautifully decorated colored theatre in Washington, and see a first-class show conducted by young colored men; who are students and giving employment to a dozen other young men and women of the race, actors, actresses and orchestra of four pieces, operator and others. Thus the entire receipts of this house go into hands of worthy people. The electricity, motion pictures etc., are the productions of white Americans. There is no "Jim Crow" seats in this theater; whites as well as blacks are welcome to this theater and sit anywhere. The performances are first class and in every respect clean. Messrs, Davis and Porter ought to be encouraged because they are doing something, and credit is due to Mr. Childs because he has already done something by building a theater of his own. Let every race-loving citizen visit the Maceo. THT WONDER COMB—50c. We have a pomade called "Wonder-Uncurl."

One dollar a day for all old soldiers incapacitated in the service, is provided in a bill reported favorably from the House Committee on Military Affairs. An increase of 12,000,000 in the population of the United States during the last ten years and a decrease of 5,000,000 in number of available food animals is the estimate made by the Bureau of Statistics, the reason given for the high price of food. A bill to re-emburse the depositors of the Old Freedman's Saving Bank, has been favorably reported to the Senate, by the Committee on Education and Labor. There were 61,131 depositors.

He was then a young officer im the navy, as were a number of those promiment ia the work of exploration at that thne, and hence the giory which now shines.upom the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It ts strange how soon we are for gotten. People who knew Lieut Peery’s father are not now certain ef his Christian mame. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the Meutenant’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 " George Charles Peary. However that may jbe, Mr. and Mrs, Peary on coming into }this county located in the woods near what {s now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turm 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 {s sald to actu ally include a fragment of the old buflding. - It waa in that house that Robert ¥. Peary was born, and there, two or three years Inter, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living ia Munster township, recalls Peary’s birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in 2 |conveyance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. “Kill the horse if you have to,” Mr. Peary {s al- leged to have safd 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- Uttzin, was buried amid a bilzzard, |“That was like the north pole Itself,” eays the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me. | ‘The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs ts the residence there of his cousin. Charles Ho Peary’s father, Jamer 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 chil- dren have resided ever since. ’ George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it posst- bie for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy, ' FOR YOU IF YOU LIKE.

NEW YORE Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Psephograph" to Foll Ballot Box Stuffers. Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the 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 psephograph. So complete and sat US COLLEGE INDES NOTAMS New Voting Machine. factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. The psiphograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him. After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lever to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a little tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system 27,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miles Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Alding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montagarl, 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 A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: "To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1908-1908." 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. Davis, 6 BORN CLAIRVOYANT AND CARD READER.

The Bee is confident that Mr. Rudolph véill give wor- thy colored citizens considera- tion. It is believed that at least eight colored citizens will re- ceive recognition from Commis- sioner Rudolph, So far as the other two Commissioners are concerned, colored Americans need not look ior anything but rebukes. There ist today a competent colored man in the Water Department of the Dis- trict government who is fully competent to fill any position in the Water Department, but, presumably on account of his color he has been unable obtain a promotion. Mr. Rudolph is popular with the officials and em- ployes of the Ipcal government. He doesn’t assume a bombastic air as if to appear to those under him, that they are inferiors. He respects his subordinates and they respect, him. 1 There are some men_ in the world 4nd officials [of this gov- ernment who must assume the air of a czar to enable them to demonstrate to their subordi- nates that-they possess great brain and power. It is, always best to have the love of your su- bordinates than their dislike. However, The Bee is pleased to know that Commissioner Ru- dolph is a man in whom the peo- ple, irrespective of politics, have confidence. The Bee is also pleased to know that a few col- ored men will be appointed to a few places, The Bee don’t hesi- tate in saying that Mr. David Warren, who has been an em- ploye ior years in the Tax Col- lectot’s office is entitled to a Promotion .If we are to pro- ‘mote according to length of service, Mr. Warren should have been promoted twenty years ago Is there any white employe un- der the District government now in the public service longer than Mr, Warner, and yet has receiv- no promotion for years? The. Bee feels confident that My. Rudolph will remedy~ these discriminations and promote the employtes on their merit and long standing. The colore¢ people in this city, number al- most eighty-six thousands and not a colored citizen holds a rep “resentative place -under thi government, If Commissione: Rudolph does not give the cof ored people recognition they need not hope for any else: waptaaees THE DEMOCRATS OF MARYLAND * 7 The Democratic Legislature of Maryland has at last sounded its death knell. The disfranchise- ment of forty-eight thousand colored American voters will have a day of retribution. It is quite evident that colored Americans amount to something, they are an eye-sore toythe prej- udiced white man; but thank prejudiced until regulations are adopted discriminating against black prostitutes in favor of the whites . The white man is more disturbed and worried about, the colored man than he is. If the colored Asherican is in- ferior, why worry about him? Why don’t you permit him to advance if he can? The recent Maryland act is in violation of the Constitution of the United States. x Will the Republican party stand jor it. ae AUTHOR WEARING REPLIES Washington, D. C., March 26, r910. Editor, Concord Monitor, Concord, New Hampshire, Dear Sir: ® , A marked copy of your paper, is- sue of March 11, 1910, containing an editorial comment on my book, “As We See It,” has reached me. I thank you for this very flattering editorial, 4 3 I appreciate the fact that the book held the reader until he had reached its last word, moreover he is think- ing about it yet.” Therein lies the object of .my work, My motive in writing this book is to portray, truthfully, conditions along racial lines as they exist—as we see.it—to bring before the think- ing people of this nation that other classe, “Crackers” {poor whites, clay eaters), who have been for genera- tions, and still are, ignorant, idle and vicious; a class of white men who absolutely refuse to be educated, ele- vated, Christianized, and I may say Americanized; who -are inoculated with Dr, Stiles’ newly named pest, the -hookworm, having taken ‘it in- to their system from soil worked and cultivated by Negroes, this inocu- lation being the root of all their evils body and soul, evils that have been with the “Crackers” from time im- memorial. (This good doctor gained their enmity by saying that ninety per cent, of the “Cracker” children are afflict- ed with this worm. To regain their good will (the Crackers) he said, “Yes, you have the worm, but you got it from the ‘Niggers,’” a balm that never fails to heal, all “Crack- er” wounds. These are people who produced the “Arkansas Fiddler,” drawn from real life, the man with roof on his house, who fiddled while the sun was shining and who could not roof his house while it rained, the people who assassinate, burn and ang pillage the homes of thrifty Ne- groes, who make it dangerous for a Negre woman to move out of doors after nightfall, whose exploits are always twisted by newspaper writers into an heroic defense of their wo- men and homes, More, a misdemeanor committed’ by a Negro (striking a white man) is a felony, a felony committed by a white man (killing a “nigger”) is a misdemeanor, the former usually gets a year or more in prison, while the latter pays a fine of ten dollars and costs; This, “in the land of the free and the home of the brave,” amid Southern chivalry! Now, the educated Negro, th “sociological study,” the man wh as taken on the white man’s civili- ation, good and bad, as no other mar has who has come among you. Wha of him? Why is he, beyond the pale? What is his fault? He ha: passed out of your college carrying honors with him. He has your bil of health. But, let him hold up his What is there to this black Amieri- can citizen that puts him beyond the pale? The Negro hero of this story lov- ed his old*mother. That is an old story. “All men~love their mothers. “he “unwritten law” of the South’ is based on the “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,” theory. Why ‘should this black Southerner not live up to this tenet, The time is now passed for black men to sub: mit to“such outrages, ‘ Kill the man who kills your broth: er, is Southern doctsine and the Ne: fgto has learned it. He is being re- Spected in some localities .for hi: shooting qualities. The laws do no! protect him, he must protect himself What else is h€ to do? Do and die that others may live. MAJORS AND MINORS From the National Training School ‘Washington, (Lincoln Heights) DC. Easter morning dawned bright anc beautiful on the Heights, Instead of our usual eight o'clock Sunday School, we had services at elever o'clock, special music, in which th children participated, being one o: the features. The chapel was beau tifully decorated with flowers from the campus. Beside the usual Eas- ter Sunday Schoo! lesson, three o! the Sunday School teachers tok stories, making {clear to the child mind, as well as the. adult, the reason that eggs, lilies and butterflies are used as emblems of the day. This kind of practical work is excellen for the young ladies who intend to de mission work among children, In the afternoon, the Rev. Wal: ter H, Brooks preached for .us, tak ing for his text, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things whict are above"—Col. 3:1. The subjec was handled in a masterly manner, which brought to the heaters the message intended by the writer o! the words. Tp hear Rev, Brooks once, is tc de8ire to hear him again, and ther again. His logic is simple, yet con- vincing; he convicts, then offers the redeeming grace, * Dr. Brooks is a member of our fac: ult and is always on hand to teact “The Life of Christ.” Our president had asked that al reports of moneys received for the new dining hall, be made that day Our friends from the city,.and the students rallied splendidly, so, that we shall try to begin the room the first of next week. By the time the frame is up, we trust to have receivec enough to finish the walls and ceiling We need some more room to accom: modate us at meal time, We know our good friends who s¢ loyally responded to our February appeal, are wondering what has be come of the pictures they were tc receive, The severe illness of ow president, has necessitated the delay but the work is now under way, and the pictures will be forthcoming soon In the meantime, we have your name: so don’t grow impatient. We are very glad to report the im provement in the health of Mis Burroughs, our president, It is in deed remarkable. The physicians hat ordered that she be moved to som quiet resort, that her mind and body might through perfect repose, returr to their normal condition. The ob ligations on the school property a this time so burdened her, that sh refused to go; chosing rather to en dure the necessary noise and dis comfort incident to school routine than to leave her post when thing: were in such a critical state. Shi said: “It is painful for me to bi ordered ‘to take absolute rest fo awhile, because my interest is in th work of our Convention, and th needs are so pressing now, that would suffer far more, were I com pelled to leave at this time, than I an now suffering — although I am per fectly helpless as far as-assisting i the work here.” * We do trust that the constituent! of the work will ‘make it possible fo Miss Burroughs to take the neede leave of absence, that she may be th better fitted to continug the work dur ing the summer months, A little ef fort on“their part will bring this t pass, without burdening anyone. The school has been favored fron time to time with illustrious visitors Each Sunday, some divine from th city has preached for us. Our pres ident announced Sunday that sine has been a iriend to our people tor over fifty years; one’ who has per- haps fade greater sacrifices that we might become spiritually as well as intellectually fitted to occupy the places that the Almighty has opened for us to fill, than anyone else now living, Miss Joanna P, Moore has given up home, friends, comforts — ithe very necessities of life, that she ‘might minister, without money and without’ price, unto the least of His little ones, She is now over seventy years of age, and has given the greatest and the best part of her life to work among needyNegroes. We gladly await her coming. Teachers’ “Mecting, where the Sunday School lesson for the follow- ing Sunday is studied, is held on Monday nights, The officers and teachers here havé an opportunity of listening to an explanation of the passage outlined, from Miss Jennie L. Peck, our able dean of the Mis- sionary Training Department. We fev] that she has no superior, and wish that more could take advan- tage of her instruction. The Literary Society has its meet ings every Friday night, now, in or- der to give more time for prepara tion to the students, for the mis- sionary meeting, which is held on the alternate Thursday nights. Our societies over the country, would be benefitted by having our young fadies conduct an institute for them in their churches, where sug- gestions would be given in the work of meetings of the societies in gen- eral. . Mrs. Katherine Westfall, secretary of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society, the organi- zation which keeps with us our Mis- sionary Training Teacher, accompan- ied by Mrs. Johnson, one of the members of the Board, also of Chica- go, visited our school one day last week, We were very glad to have them, and are sure they were pleased with what they saw, From their statements we gather that our school held its own among the nine others which they had visited just previous to coming here. They seemed much impressed with the order’ in which we keep them, Each department — washing, iron- ing, dining room, halls and steps, campus, chickens, chapél, etc. — has its especial superintendent, Certain students have these duties permanent- ly, and must see that they are proper, ly taken care of. These young wo- men are banding themselves togeth- er into a club, where their grievan- ces may be aired, and remedies and improvements suggested and adopt- ed. We request them not to feel themselves a° “Union,” and without notice “strike.” Things we have, and thought that it augured well for the wise use of what, has been giyen us, In the course of their talk, they said that in giving us Miss Peck, they had given us “their best;” the president did -not hesitate to thank them and to inform them that we are anxious to keep their best. : Our campus is beautiful to behold. The orchard sheds fragrance all about, and the beds already here are in full bloom. Each student has been given a plot in which to plant what- ever she desires, and is held respon- sible for the good condition of the bed. Rivalry is evident, We trust the enthusiasm will continue! without compulsion, through the warmer months yet to come. Some of the gitls were sorry to remember (too late), that although the beds they se- lected are already in bloom, thus outshining the others — for a season —when the others are doing their best each to be the most noticeable, these early beds will have done their leaet mci 65h-er- ao aant im. tom. ‘task to sce the Nation’s capital, attend the World’s Sunday School Conven- tion, and last but not least, visit’ the National Training School for Wo- men and Girls; there will be rates on all roads, As usual when ‘the buds of spring begin to swell, and the leaves are green, and everybody is happy, the crowds begin to swell in ever increas- ing numbers around the soda foun- tain af the popular drug store of Board and McGuire, 1912 1-2 14th Street, NSW. + ® It is.now the fashion after leaving the 5 and to cent theatre to meet all of your friends at the Board and Mc- Guire Pharmacy on 14 Street, prom- henade, the place where everybody meets everybody else, are taking in beautifying the campus, and that although flowers are beau- tiful things—we can’t eat them. She wondered how many would volunteer So readily when-it came to planting potatoes, corn, beans, cabbage, etc. Few hands went up. We were re- spectfully requested to devise ways and means by which our time might be divided, so that we might enjoy the flowers on the exterior, and the vegetables on the interior, The class in Missionary Training are about to take the study of the Old Testament, They have studied portions of the New, and feel the need of explanations on references made frequently to the Old Testa- megt. These young lidies are study- ing the scriptures, not from a de- sire to outshine intellectually, but that may go out-and apply them, o2 foreign fields, in church work, and in their own homes. We beg that the Parents and friends may observe whether they have been helped by this study and contact, Of course they will not by any means have finished the course with this term, but even now the improvement is re- markable, “Beginning with-our summer term, we will have with us for’ several weeks, the Rev. S, N, Vass, mission- ary and lecturer of the American Baptist Home Mission ~ Society. Interest on Note, Colum- Rev. Vass is a leader in his class, and wp shall all be greatly benefitted irons his stay. with us.

The President has issued a procia- mation, calling on all citizens to co- operate with the Census and assuring tém that is has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, com- pulsory school attendance, regulation immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census of population and agri- culture in this state be complete and correct, Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and completely answer the Census questions asked by the enumerators.

There were two hundred and fifty guests present. Some ofthe most beautiful gowns that, one would desire to see were worn by the ladies, Mr. A. J. Gaskins, who as- sumed the position of master of ceremonies in the place of Mr. W. R. Robinson, who was sick, was introduced by exalted tuler, Mr, Charles D. .Freeman in a most eloquent and timely address. Mr. Gaskins in a most pleasing and entertaining ad- dress- spoke about the needs and value of the Elks and the or- ganization with which he is identified. For twenty minutes he was the center of attraction. Prior to the banquet, which took place in the main auditori- um, the lady guests assembled in this large hall over the main au- ditorium where a set dance pro- gram as follows was carried out: The ladies gowns were superb, and among the most noticeable were, a blue silk hand worked gown worn by Miss Clarice Tal- bert, and a brilliant gown of lavender silk mull, worn by Mrs. Mary Thomas, Mrs. Williams, an Irish linen suit, trimmed in all over lace; Miss Lena Smith, a gray messilene satin, Miss Carrie Lloyd, black silk, Miss Gertrude Reed, point de espray lace over pink silk, Miss Hester Pierce pink silk, Mrs. Mayme Hutchinson, a black spangle net with diamonds, Miss, Alice Char- vis, black satin with crystal trimmings, Miss Julia Johnson, a black satin trimmed with per- sian lace and a chipped diamond necklace jet ornaments, Mrs. Adeline Brown, a gray French silk vail trimmed with lace French sleeves, a vea embroider. ed front full skirt with girdle and folds of plain silk; and she carried a boquet of pink rose and carnations. | ” Both halls were beautifully gco- rated in a most elaborate style.

CAPITAL, $400,000 FIRST OFFERING This is of importance to YOU and and every Negro in the land! WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR NATION'S GOVERNMENT. The eyes of the world are on Washington... One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923—and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact- THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best A.

ADVISORY BOARD CLAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock, consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY. Their names are at the top of this page. They have unbounded faith in the future of the Company. They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise you to invest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DCN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

RICHARDSON'S DRUG Old Colonial Records Show Act Was Attempted in 1656 - The Punishment. It is not necessary to give up our plious 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 quaint records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated. The old chronicle runs: "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Selectmen were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz. John Pigeon, to put in about a dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of 'em, being charged with so doing, ha acknowledged' it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay a Fine of Five Pounds for putting in the settlement of Boston as PATENT DRAWINGS CRAFTING,DETAILING,TRAC BLUE PRINTING 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 withdraw 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 Yeas and one hundred and ninety-seven Nays." — Boston Transcript. BITTER 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. ```markdown ``` This Offer of The Washington B Will Appeal Especially to Women SELEF-TIGHTENING SHEARS The Winner Louisiana Exposit If this pair of Shears breaks or within five years from date of p with a new pair without cost Hamilton Silver Co., Factory B.

Win low AND EMBLAMER, TERMS MOST REASONABLE 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. 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 yacant. 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 RUIM Yarmouth Scenes Which Diekens 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 genesis. 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 Yarwouth was one of the principal ports of England, and its merchant adventurers enjoyed the patronage of Queen Elizabeth. Its Tolhouse claims to be the oldest municipal building in the kingdom. WILSON WILL GO TO MEXICO Minister to Belgium to Succeed Ambassador Thompson in Neighboring Republic. Washington.—Henry Lane Wilson, American minister to Belgium, will soon be officially named to succeed David E. Thompson as ambassador to Mexico. Mr. Wilson has been notified of his appointment by the state department and is clearing up his business at the legation in Brussels pending his departure for his new post. Mr. Wilson, who is a native of Crawfordsville, Ind., has been in the diplomatic service since 1897, when he was appointed minister to Chile; He 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. Pulaatlon 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 91.5 and 99 F are within normal.
