VOL.XXX NO 46 Non.RichardA. Ballinger A NOBLE MAN AND A GOOD RECORD. What Robert Lewis Waring, Author of "As We See It" Has to Say of the Attack, by "Collier's Weekly" Upon Hon. Richard A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior. Editor Washington Bee: Please give space in your journal to the following: Your readers will find in Collier's Weekly of April 2, 1902, two articles, each containing a most unwarranted and ridiculous attack upon the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Richard Ballinger, captioned respectively, "Slippery Dick and the President" and "Ballinger-Shyster," both highly commendatory of Collier and his methods of enlarging his circulation. The first article, "Slippery Dick and the President," editorial page, is from the pen of some person more or less skilled in the maligning of persons who live in an atmosphere not Collierized, an atmosphere not pregnant with the filth from which Collier drew life and upon which he seems to exist. For the benefit of those Negroes who may not have heard of this disseminator of scandals and senseless tirades, who does not hesitate to blast men's reputations by innuendo, I will explain what muckraking sheet this is. It is the medium through which Dr. William E. Chancellor sought, in a moment of peevishness, to publish to the world the untrue statement that one-fourth of the Negroes of this District are idle and vicious, a statement the Doctor borrowed from a speech delivered by one of our eminent jurists in the city of New York, when that jurist was casting about for some means to keep the wolf from his door and had decided to sell his people, well knowing he could not maintain himself and family in the practice of law, which statement has since been repudiated by Dr. Chancellor. Collier, true to his environment and teaching, was only too glad to fill his columns with this abuse of the Negroes of this city, but absolutely refused to accept for publication, gathered and compiled by white men, disproving the Chancellor article; who also, in great glee, published Dixon's defense of "The Clansman," but again refused to publish the Negroes' side of the question, and who pose to pose as a friend to the "poor man." To further show the "class" of this sheet I will remind your readers that this article, "Slippery Dick and the President" article, attempts to pose as a friend to the "poor man." To further show the "class" of this sheet I will remind your readers that this article, "Slippery Dick and the President," which reads—"Our eminent ruler treated it as a merely casual detail that the man who was selected for him as Secretary of the Interior," etc—this slur aimed at the President of these United States, is an editorial and voices the character of this editor. Again, to show the contemptibilities of this valuable paper, we quote his own words: "The attorney first establishes a confidential relation with a man and then, having this advantage, proceeds to sell him out." This sentence might have read: "A great (2) journal publishes an untruthful tirade about a people, then refuses its columns for their defense." We quote further: "Among honorable attorneys it simply isn't done," this should read—"Among honorable newspapers it simply isn't done. It is the unpardonable crime." But what does Collier know about decent journalism? Nurtured in an editorial room reeking with lies and misinformation, creating odors of scandals well paid for. Who is Richard A. Ballinger? Our answer is a scion of one of the old families now fast passing, who can see something good in a Negro—who measures a Negroe's worth by the same standard of worth by which other men are measured—a family free from the taint of copperheadism a taint which has ever characterized the Colliers. We wonder whether or not the fact that the senior Ballinger was an abolitionist of the most pronounced kind, and later a Colonel of a Negro regiment, hasn't much to do with the attacks upon the son who seems to have inherited the fighting qualities that gained the father his promotions from private to his final mustering out of the service as a Colonel, at the close of the war. But aside from all this—has this Collier tirage any semblance of truth? Collier finds that Richard A. Ballinger left Alabama and went to Port Townsend, Washington. "As far from Alabama as it was possible to get and remain in the United States;" the contemptibleness of this inference, inuendo, will be apparent in the face of the following facts: Richard A. Ballinger graduated from Williams College, Massachusetts, in the class of 1884. Studied law, and was admitted to the practice of law at Springfield, Ill., 1886. He first opened a law office at Kankakee, Ill. Was appointed City Attorney for Kankakee, served one term, after which he took up his residence at New Decatur, Ala. At New Decatur he was also appointed City Attorney. (Collier neglected to state this fact.) After serving one term as City Attorney he moved to Port Townsend, Washington, having discovered that New Decatur, then peopled by a few "crackers," "Niggers" and lean mules, was no place for a young man with both brains and ambition. At Fort Townsend Mr. Ballinger became the law partner of a brother-in-law of the late President Harrison, John N. Scott. The firm of Ballinger and Bal- linger has its existence only in the fertile brain of this hired assassin employed by Collier. In 1894 Mr. Ballinger was elected Superior Court Judge—elected, mark you—in a community where, as Collier alleges—"nine men out of ten spoke ill of him." Judge-Ballinger served four years as judge of this court, then moved to Seattle, Washington, where the firm of Ballinger, Ronald & Battle was organized, Judge Ballinger becoming the senior member. In 1904 Judge Ballinger was elected mayor of Seattle, Washington, and he was the reform mayor, not his successor, as Collier alleges. At the end of his term, 1906, he resumed the practice of law. March, 1907, President Roosevelt appointed him Commissioner of the General Land Office, a position from which he resigned after one year's service. We again quote Collier: "The schooner Alice was struck off and bought up in the same way for $6,000, Chilberg and his friends securing for $6,000 the ownership of a boat upon which the bank had a mortgage of $20,000, and against which were other liabilities amounting to $13,292.17." In this statement Collier attempts to blind his readers and by inference and innuendoes makes it appear that for $6,000 Judge Ballinger secured for his friends a boat of such value that a bank would lend $20,000 upon it and other persons would also advance $13,292.17 upon the same. The fact is, the purchasers assumed all outstanding mortgages and debts, totaling $33,292.17, plus $6,000, the purchase price, making $39,292.17 in all, a fair price for such a schooner as the Alice proved to be at that time. But this is Collier's method of lying by inference and innuendoes; of fooling the casual reader. These articles will be continued in next week's issue of The Bee. COLLECTOR ROGERS. If there ever was a born gentleman in the official family of the local government, it is Mr. Charles C. Rogers, the present Collector of Taxes. You can always tell a gentleman wherever you meet him. A man suddenly elevated from a low position to a high one soon becomes intoxicated with imaginary greatness. Such a man, if he was not born and reared a gentleman, will soon endeavor to impress those about him that they are his inferiors. The born and reared gentleman never loses his MR. CHARLES C. ROGERS, COLLECTOR OF TAXES head, no matter to what position he is elected or appointed. Mr. Charles C. Rogers, the Collector of Taxes, is therefore a born gentleman of great executive ability. Everybody loves him because he is a man with a soul. The position of tax collector is being with business tact and dispatch. He has the confidence and respect of those under him, and no doubt the people of Washington respect him. He is always ready and willing to accommodate the people. He is one government official who doesn't believe that he is greater than the people he is serving. NINTH YEAR Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, 6th street, between L and M, n. w., is now in the midst of her most brilliant activities. Every department of the church is now actively engaged in some aggressive Christian work.

Monday evening, April 25, at 8 WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SAT SECRETARY R. WHO IS ATTACKED BY TORS. LIKE THE ROCK OF UNMOVED. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY APRIL 23 1910 COPYRIGHT CLINEDINGT WASHINGTON, D. C. o'clock, the last quarterly communion service will be held. Rev. Dr. Ray of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Southwest, will deliver the sermon and the choir of the above named church will furnish music for the occasion. Another matter that will be of interest to the public is the fact that there has been organized in the District of Columbia a Lir ingstone Educational Association, Dr. Corrothers is the president, Bishop John Wesley Smith is the treasurer, Frank Wells, secretary and the trustees, W. Sidney Pittman, W. C. Chase, R. R. Horner, James A. Davis, Hon. John C. Dancy and six prominent well known citizens. The object of this association is to raise money to rebuild the girls dormitory, destroyed by fire at Livingstone College two years ago and to assist the faculty in raising the $2,000 now wanted for endowment funds. May 16, there will be held a great educational rally under the supervision of this association. The announcement of which will be made later. LIBRARY DEDICATION The Carnegie Library Building of Howard University will be dedicated on Monday, April 25th at 4 p. m. The principal addresses will be by President Taft and Mr. Andrew Carnegie.

There will be a band concert by the University Brass Band, and the Glee Club will sing from the library steps. Refreshments will also be served. The public is cordially invited. Go to 1935 Eleventh street and secure your tickets before all the good seats are sold for the Clarence White Concert at Met. A. M. E. Church, May 9th. SATURDAY APRIL 23 1910 COPYRIGHT CLINEDINST WASHINGTON, D.C. R. A. BALLENGER BY POLITICAL CONSPIRA- F GIBRALTAR HE STANDS Serious Charpe GRAND JURY RETURNS TRUE BILL CHARGING CRIMINAL ASSAULT. NEGROES ENGAGE AN ASSISTANT IN PROSECUTION Hampton White Man to Stand Before Bar of Justice at to O'clock the Morning Accused of Most Serious Crime Against a Negro in History of Elizabeth City County. E. A. Vandyke will tomorrow morning be placed on trial in the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City county to answer an indictment charging him with criminally assaulting Rebecca Taylor Chandler. It will be the first case on record in this country in which a white man was tried for so serious an offense against a colored person. Judge Edgar E. Montague, commonwealth's attorney, will be assisted in prosecuting Vandyke by Burdette A. Lewis, who was engaged yesterday to assist in the prosecution by a number of Negro men. Fay S. Collier will defend Vandyke. After spending three hours investigating the case yesterday afternoon, a special grand jury returned an indictment against Vandyke, charging him with rape. The indictment sets forth that the accused criminally assaulted the girl, but does not hold him responsible for the child's death. The jury was composed of Hunter R. Booker, foreman, W. W. Richardson, T. A. Cooke, R. I. Mason, George W. Rowe, Thomas J. Haskins and Charles D. Parker. The jury heard the physicians who attended the dead girl and the mother of Vandyk's alleged victim. There are other witnesses to testify before the petit jury when the man goes on trial for his life tomorrow morning. The fact that the indictment was so hurriedly returned by the grand jury caused Judge Robinson to decide upon trying the charge against Vandyke tomorrow. The trial is set to begin at 10 o'clock and a special jury from the Back River or Harris' Creek section will be summoned today, from which the twelve men to determine the guilt or innocence of Vandyke will be drawn. Little Known of His History Vandyke is said to have several brothers living in Atlanta, Ga., but very little is known here of the history of the man accused of the revolting crime. Those who know him say that Vandyke has always been square and fair in his dealings with them and they are at a loss to understand just what prompted him in committing a crime of such a serious character, in the event that he really did so. The feeling among the colored peo- ple has been intense, but they have declared from the day of the arrest that the law should be allowed to take its course and therefore no feeling of resentment has been permitted to grow. The quick action of the Circuit Court and the speedy work of Dr. George K. Vanderslice, the coroner, following the child's death are being appreciated by the Negroes, as well as the white people. The crime is alleged to have been committed on Back River road, near the bridge, and not in the city limits of Hampton, as has been said by some. Vandyke is alleged to have taken the children from their home near the cross roads and carried them. SESSION OF BOARD OF EXTENSION OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH The annual meeting of the board of church extension of the A. M. E. Church was held at 1535 14th street northwest last Wednesday.

At a conference of Republicans held last week of leading Republicans throughout the city, held at the office of The Bee, Dr. W. S. Richardson was unanimously endorsed as National Committeeman for the District of Columbia, to succeed Mr. Sidney Bieber.

Maxfield A $250,000 company, which has for its object the establishment of a Negro cotton factory in Norfolk, has been formed. It is to contain 10,000 spindles. It has been seen that the Negroes receive about $270,000 for their cotton, when if it was manufactured they would get $600,000,000. Watch the Virginians.

The York Tobacco Company employs eighty colored women, and so satisfactory is their work until over a hundred will now be employed. This opens up new avenues of labor for colored women in the North, where there have been so few opportunities of this kind. As the result of several meetings all the leading and most prominent colored citizens of North Carolina have taken steps to establish a Reform School for colored youths for said State. The movement has the endorsement of officials of the State and is being encouraged by them. To show that he had no hard feeling toward James J. Jeffries, Jack Johnson sent a telegram wishing Jeffries many happy returns of the day, the occasion being his thirty-fifth birthday anniversary. Washington is promised within the next few years a magnificent building, costing $2,000,000, to be erected in commemoration of the first President. According to one of our exchanges, in the State of South Carolina it is estimated that the Negroes outnumber the whites three to two, yet according to the criminal statistics the larger number of murders and heinous crimes of that State are committed by the whites.

WEINGARTEN BROS., Makers, 34th St. at Broadway, New York ‘Explorer First Saw Light of Day Near Cresson, Pa. Leve of ea and Adventure an Inher Med Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young’ Maval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Maine to Cambria county, inthe fifties, which brought to this district the promiment Barker and other familes, also made it possible for Cresson, ‘nearly the highest point in the county, ta claim the honor of haying been the ‘birthplaee of Lieut, Robert Edmund Peary, most daring. and most per sistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. The father of Peary waa not bothered about polar diseovery. The building of “shook shops” and the manufacture and ahip- mene of shock and staves to many distant polnts was bis fe work. Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast tim- Der sereage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa, also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, 20 he located at a point now generally admitted to de oa the outskirts of Cresson. Pesry’s naval career sheds an Inter esting ght on the question of in. Lerited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, trans planted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sex. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately lott the shore line for a life far in the in: terfor, away from evsn inland lakes, But after his father’s death Robert B. Peary, then a little boy, was takex back to Maine by his mother, and as 2 result of his life on the coast and his | education the youngster {nstinctively went back to the life of his ancestors The whaling industry from New Eng SJ ri us a <<a ey iC aie Ss House Supposed to Be on Site of = - ere : e > = ——<(o-* @ - a2 o- a) =. = pees fe : eae = ies eee it Sera oe ee fe ain 8 oe Cra” 4 Nemes 1 eed — 7 ee ipso ea SESSSSSE Set! seg.0 = BR Be S8 a8: Ae oh 0 9-s—0-0 —_b-9-5- ; S| ee we SS Ks F ae eS wee lee tb ak SS oro —— == = 0 eos ; . £ « ice site 2z2t =f fee &, = =. ——— ee =) . a ——— St - -8--0508--0--0--0- — e E i SSSSSSS SSIS | Pra oe: eae a ee er <p SS o; == a = : o_o 0 = a. ~o- ee Po) ere te I —\Sn" re 7 = SS SS eS eee fo se [SE j ~—“p atempo, |e, >= ! a la} | $—-. el OP ae pees = eae Gi AS SS Eee eee —_— + a ee) <= cp fe ——— ~ fe os a ——— Ss S55 ten eS Sr |e ee — 4 — = - ————, ——————— ee ts NS SS ee 6c ee = | « vu> > ; = 2. -9- ea “ae p = | in 225. a oS eS rt | Se = ee Se we : Ss | b 4 ass - A ba ___|-e- Ls i, 5 rs p os ee Ee a: ee SS ae Cf f= Oe ee | < . ? 7 ¥ u A aii eile = a Ete Et.

Peary’s Birtnpiace and to Include Part ef the Old Home, land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lum- ber and many other products, by sug- gestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adven- tures, Leut. Peary’s distinct ambi tion to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and {ts relief. He was then a young officer in the ‘navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at. that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm ‘of Uncle Sam's military service by , Tefiection. | It is strange how soon we are for ‘gotten. People who knew Lieut. Peary’s father are not now certain of dis Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name “Perry, calls the lleutenant’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 Is‘now Cresson, where Peary ‘established a shook shop. A house ‘standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally ac. cepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the orig- {nal Peary home, and is sald to actu- ‘ally include a fragment of the old building. |__ 1 was im that house that Robert B. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living fa Munster tqwnship, recalls Peary’s birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a |senverance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. “Kill the horse ff you have to,” Mr. Peary is al. leged to have said to the driver, “but get the doctor here in a hurry.” And it’s another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gal Utizin, was buried amid a blizzard, “That was like the north pole itself,” says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth, Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs fs the residence there of his cousin. Charles H. Peary’s father, James Peary, came from Maine about the [same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his chil dren have resided ever since, George Peary, fortunately, lef enough of an estate to make tt posst ble for Mrs. Peary to educate her anr thoroughly and he finally found his war to the Navai acaderry, GO Ras ¥ WEACHTOWN a Fetal gaits q S fa q We, Semple Lamst Model “1 furnished: ‘agents Beth | ARS makes moe ree ar full foarte Jor af rst ..

PINAUD BLDG: NEW YORE f Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Psephograph" to Foll Ballet Box Stuffers. Rome.—European ballot box staffers, 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 mat- INDES NOTAMS factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. The psephograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lever to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a little tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system 27,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. GETS A GOLDEN CROWN Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Alding Victims, of the Earthquake. Boston—The Marquis de Montagari, Italian charge d'affairs at Washington, has remitted to Miss Mabel Boardman of Manchester, Mass., and Washington, a golden crown, the gift of the Italian government in recognition of her services as a member of A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1868-1869. 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 Ropes. Give a woman plenty of rope and she will hang—her washing on it. Mme.

One copy per year in advance__ $2.00 Six months____ 1.00 Three months____ .50 Suscription monthly____ .20 L. Volume 4, No. 1, of the catalogue of Howard University has just been published and distributed. It is no doubt the best and most concise and complete catalogue that has ever been published by that institution. The catalogue is an evidence of the work of Dr. Thirkield, the president, who has done so much to make Howard University one of the greatest institutions in the United States. Dr. Thirkield has not only made this a great institution for the colored youth, but he is one of the race's greatest defenders. His many utterances in defense of the colored race have been manly, cloquet and fearless. Whatever Dr. Thirkield has done has been to elevate the high standard of Howard University and its patrons. The catalogue, 'just published should be in the hands of every lover of the institution. There is a strong faculty at this institution in all of its branches. The Board of Trustees is composed of some of the strongest and greatest jurists in the country. Justice Job Banard, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia is president. He is a man, loved and honored for his fairness and humanity for all living beings. Judge Thomas H. Andrew another member of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and a member of the Board of Trustees is another friend of the race and a man who means to be fair and just to all. Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph, Commissioner of the District of Columbia also a member of the Board, is beyond all doubt a true friend of the colored race and not too big to give the most humble citizen a respectful hearing. Mr. Wm. Cox, Dr. Francis J. Grimke, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Henry E. Pallen, Bishop B. T. Tanner and those named in the above. Mr. Justices Barnard, Andrew and Rudolph terms will expire this year. The Bee as well as the friends of Howard University will be glad to record a unanimous vote of reelection. The other members of the Board, whose terms will expire in 1911 and 1912. Howard University was chartered by Congress, March 21, 1867, while it was especially established for Negro students no nationality has been excluded says the compiler, North American Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Europeans of several nationalities, and all classes of American citizens have been admitted to this institution. The catalogue also gives a full history of the institution and its location, building and grounds Committee of the Board; members of the faculty; list of special lectures; officers of administration; university council; standing committees. There are 1,253 students in all of the departments of Howard University and within two years more, undoubtedly there will be from 2 to 3 thousand students in attendance. It is steadily on the increase and its success is due to the indefatigable and persistent efforts of Dr. Thirkield. Long live Howard University and its president. If there is one man in the Cabinet of President who deserves the support of the nation, it is the Secretary of Interior R. A. Ballenger. Of all political persecutions, there is none more damnable and outrageous as the one that has been instigated against Secretary Ballenger. Every effort has been made by the scandalmongers to besmirch the official record and the name of an honest and upright man. The most filthy libel that has been published was by Collier's Weekly. Notwithstanding the many charges and allegations that have been made against him, not one has been substantiated by proof. There is every reason to believe that the distinguished Secretary will be fully vindicated by the Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives and why, also should he not be by the popular sentiment of the country? The investigation thus far shows that the secretary is a victim of malice and a conspiracy of the most outrageous character. The testimony thus far shows that he entered the Cabinet of President Taft with an unblemished character and reputation and it is the belief of The Bee that the final result will be a vindication unqualified. There was a time when small men were guilty of corruption and conspiracy, but today we find supposed great men the agents of demagogery and dirty work. Legitimate criticism is always welcomed by public men, but when people stoop to meaness and flagrant lying the law should exercise its jurisdiction and handle the assassins. Every act of Mr. Ballenger since he entered the Cabinet of President Taft, not only shows that he is a man above suspicion but shows that he is an innocent victim of disappointed and corrupt politicians. If there is one thing the administration has endeavored to do, and that is to fight out corruption in high places. In this particular Secretary Ballenger has been an active exponent. If he has failed, the fault lies with his subordinates, or those in whom he placed implicit confidence to carry out his reforms. It is firmly believed that the country has confidence in him. It is believed that President Taft will see that honest men in his Cabinet shall be protected against the attacks of conspiritors. As an evidence of the falsity of the allegations against the secretary, no articles of impeachment have been mooted, no criminal prosecution in the court has been justified by the evidence. Then, there can be nothing to the charges and allegations but an attempt to destroy the political reputation of the secretary. Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest, by Attorney Robert L. Waring, an expose of the political conspiracy against the Honorable Secretary of the Interior, whose record speaks for itself. It needs but little observation of business interests and tendencies to assert that the energy and sagacity of white business men have so centralized and monopolized Pennsylvania Avenue, the leading thoroughfare for white people, as to crowd out the Negro business man quite exclusively. The same tendency has manifested itself along 4th street, and 7th street. North of New York avenue is more or less given to rowdyism and petty business in- It seems to be the inevitable trend of circumstances that the only up-to-date business center and opportunity for a respectable thoroughfare for colored people lies on You street, between 7th and 14th streets, with possibly adjacent blocks running along the intermediate streets especially 11th street. Anent such a logical trend of circumstances colored people in the past two years, have either built, bought and contracted for, fully one hundred thousand dollars worth of property for business purposes in the above vicinity. This estimate includes such theatres as the Maceo, the Hiawatha, the Minnie Ha Ha, the Dunbar and another under construction on G and You streets, the Northwest Cafe, building and loan association properties, one sculptor, one cigar, one dressmaker, and two tailoring establishments. This estimate does not include the Y. M. C. A. which will cost $100,000, and such old established business as the True Reformer's Hall, Gray and Gray, Davis Brothers' drug stores, cafe, undertakers establishments and many other business interests that space does not allow us to mention now. Thus nearly half a million dollars are invested here in business enterprises. Here lies the future centralized business opportunity for colored Washington. These up-to-date theatres, which install in May an amazing program, should serve more and more to centralize business interests here. The Bee appeals to its readers to get busy, to utilize their best energies for further centralized colored business interests in this community. You street, between 7th and 14th Sts. must be made a great thoroughfare and promenade center of attraction to advantage business interests. Here reside a community of law-abiding and loyal people who willingly support our business men in whatever first-class business they may enter. Let us have a fashionable and up-to-date business center and thoroughfare in this You street vicinity! NATHAN B. SCOTT. Now and then there looms up in the front ranks a man whose rugged character, whose sense of justice, and whose sincerity is such that he recognizes manhood no matter whether it dwells beneath a white or black skin. Such a man is Senator Nathan B. Scott, of West Virginia. In this commercial age, in which competition is so keen and incessant that sentiment is subordinated to the mad desire for wealth, the result of which is the weaker is thrust to the wall, the Negro each day and each year finds the ranks of his real friends growing thinner. Not that down deep in their hearts there does not lodge in man the belief that all men have a right to liberty and justice, but because the thirst for wealth subverts all that is best in man. Senator Scott is one of those few men in public life whose recognition of manhood and manhood rights is not influenced by either the man's complexion or the man's station in life. The humblest citizen, to him, is an object for justice, whether his color be lily white, seal-brown or swarthy black. When the Colored Y. M. C. A. of this city was struggling to raise a sum for its building, upon the raising of which was contingent the gift of a like sum by Mr. Rockefeller, Senator Scott came forward with a gift of $250. That demonstrated his interest in the uplift of the race. But there has never been a time, during his membership of Congress, and before, when his help could not be counted upon. It is not merely the Negroes of West Virginia who are interested in his return to the Senate; but the Negroes throughout this country. Not merely the Negroes, but the plain, common people, whose champion he is, in every section of the land. He is a man who stands for men, no matter what their color, race or creed. He believes the framers of the Free Trips to Atlantic City FOR THE THREE MOST POPULAR SCHOOL TEACHERS The Washington Bee has decided to provide three great prizes for the most popular teachers in the Washington Public Schools.

THE WASHINGTON BEE Constitution meant what they said in the preamble, which proclaims that "all men are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." He is one of God's noblemen, rugged, honest and sincere. ALL ABOARD FOR ATLANTIC CITY ON THE BEE'S POPULAR TEACHER'S TRIP—GREATEST OFFER YET MADE.

There is no question but what this is the most popular contest ever arranged by a newspaper in this city. It is open to all teachers without restrictions. Let the friends of the teachers now get busy. Think of it! a month's trip! a two weeks' trip, and a one week's trip to Atlantic City absolutely free. The attack on the Board of Education is unjust as well as unfair. These faithful public servants are serving the people without hope of reward or compensation. The schools, with but one exception are doing well. The Bee states now as it did last week that each and every member of the Board of Education will receive the approval of the people regardless of what the enemies may say or do. Why should there be a change in the management of our schools? The speech of Representative Olcott of New York in defense of our schools was indeed commendable. There is not a more faithful officer than Captain Oyster, who has sacrificed his business to serve the schools and he receives for his reward abuse from people who don't know the real needs of our schools. NAPIER THE NEXT REGISTER Mr. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., will be the next Register of the Treasury. Mr. Vernon will return to Kansas. The Bee congratulates him because he will now show his power. It must be admitted that Mr. Vernon is strong with his people in this country and why he was not given a second term The Bee is unable to state. Mr. Na- 1109 Eye Street Northwest pier is a good man and a lawyer of ability. We thought that Mr. Vernon would have been rewarded. It always pays to be manly and independent. It is an aphorism too true, "unhappy is the man who anticipates official favors." BRUTAL OUTRAGE In another column of The Bee will be read with disgust a most brutal outrage ever perpetrated upon a human being. Just think of it, that a young child hardly 13 years of age being outraged by a white man, and he being tried without the semblence of mob violence. O! had this been a Negro! what mobs would have assembled, and press despatches would have been sent broad cast throughout this world. Calm and obedient to the laws of this country the colored man will do nothing in vioiation of law even when one of his innocent babes is being outraged. The facts and circumstances in this case are too revolting to publish. BETHEL LITERARY The Social Purity Club will present a program at Bethel Literary next Tuesday evening. Mrs. R. L. Pendleton will make the principal address: Miss Mary L. Mason will give a reading on Woman Suffrage, and solos will be rendered by Mr. George H. Murray and Miss Lucy J. Moten.

NEW YORK NOTES New York Correspondence to The Bee Collector Charles W. Anderson delivered two most interesting speeches last week on the race question, and seldom has his fine gifts as a public speaker been displayed to better advantage. One address was a response to the toast "Our Colored fellow-citizens," at the banquet in honor of Judge Oppenheimer in this city, where he was one of the after-dinner speakers in company with Supreme Court Justice John Proctor Clarke, Congressman Bennet, Judge Joseph I Green and Hon. Abraham Gruber. The other was at a meeting for the benefit of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A., of Orange, N. J., where the Collector for his subject: "The strange eventful history of the Negro in America." After briefly tracing the history of the race in this country, Mr. Anderson stated his belief that the Negro was destined to play a great part in the world's history, and advanced the opinion that while, in his judgment, it was a wholesome symptom that we are beginning to show some of that talent for grumbling which has helped to make the Anglo-Saxon the free and in- CIRCUS WASHINGTON MONDAY AND TUESDAY MAY 9th and 10th BARNUM AND BAILEY GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH JUPITER THE BALLOON HORSE PT BARNUM JA BAILEY THE THRILLER SUPREME DESPERADO'S TERRIBLE LEAP FOR LIFE THIS HOUSE LEASES TO THE DOME OF THE BIG TEXT AND DESCRIBES IN A SHOWER THE World's Foremost Circus FILLING 6 ARENAS AND THE BIGGEST TENT EVER MADE A Menagerie of 100 Cages A BABY 40 Elephants 30 Camels GIRAFFE A Family of Giraffes Capital Invested $3,500,000 1230 PERSONS 700 HORSES 40 Performers from Europe CHARLEY 60 AERIALISTS 60 RIDERS THE 60 ACROBATS 50 CLOWNS FIRST 100 Acts.

He characterized the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington as "beneficient in example and influence," and after reviewing what he aptly styled the "apostolic character of his mission" he said, "our people ought to be proud of the wise leadership-of a man who is always their advocate, but never their flatterer." His concluding words about the Doctor, were: "I pray Heaven that in the years to come, when the voice of this great leader is hushed, you young men may be granted the strength, the moderation, and the wisdom to serve your race by righteous means, in the noble and righteous work of pleading its cause before the great tribunal of the civilized world."

It presents the Negro in his true light before the eyes of the world. IT IS THE NEW NEW EMANCIPATION Proposed LINCOLN MEMORIAL OF WASHINGTON paying amusement place in America. IT KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an enterprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK, where every dollar will be invested in the best of Washington Real Estate, that increases in value annually at the rate of 5% per cent nearly DOUBLE bank interest. Even that is good enough for most people, but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY will do better than that. It will have offices and stores and lodge rooms, which will earn, on a conservative estimate, at least $23,200 per year. Equal to 5 9-10 per cent per annum. mittance for First Payment W., Washington, D.

Why? Because 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.

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. DON'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.

Boston.—One of the most pictur esque features of the battleship is Fapidly on its way to the scrap heap. The military mast, that heavy steel column of which most ships of Unole ‘Sam's navy carried a pair, fore and aft, which had fighting tops from the Platforms of whichemachine guns could be used to pop away at torpede boats or lke craft, is being regarded as obsolete, The military mast was cons{dered not so very long ago, a formidable feature of the equipment of a battle ship.

It has been shown by experiments that this form of structure will stand the greatest amount of puncture from shota before it collapses, and so the pavy department {s replacing the more or less solid structures with this grapevine arrangement. ® The new mast, while rising to the helght 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 look- out 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 main- mast the old. m 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 weath. er and fs a warm ¢limate person only, is refuted in the case of Matthew Hen- son, Commander Robert E. Peary’s personal gervant. Among the interest- ing announcements connected with the north pole discovery was the state- ment that Henson was the only clvil- ized person with Peary when the top wf Yixd Y & VP WE 7 ES = a A y Be RE CT \Ne MARS 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 un- furled. Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage. Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta: tloned at Bermuda, is a brother of Lord Kitchener, and this fact has worked against him rather than for him.’ He Is considered a clever sol- dler in England, and at the time of the war in South Africa it was thought that he would receive an im- portant post that would become va- cant. He was passed over and his brother, Lord Hitchencr, was asked Yor 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 yoices, 80 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 te formed her that this was only Kitcb- ener that was expected. “T call it a shame that this man, whoever he may ‘be, should be allowed to use Lord Kitchener's name; the governmeut ought to do something about it,” sha said, stalking majestically out of the Sos. “PEGGOTTY” HUT A SAD RUIN Yarmouth Scenes Which Dickens De scribed In His Story of “David Copperfield.” London.—A Yarmouth hundred of herring really counts 132, and in many ways the inhabitants of the old towg are credited with an open-handed gen{ erosity. Peggotty told David Copper. feld, 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 Ittle mora separated from the sea and the town and the tide hed not been quite so much mixed up, like toast and water, It would have been much nicer.” But ae ( oe | oy fi il q PS = aS = presently, when he got into the streets and “smelt the flah and pitch, and oakum, and tallow, and saw the sail- ors walking about and the carts jing- ling up and down over the stones,” Young Copperfield admitted that he had done Yarmouth an injustice. The remains of Peggotty’s hut may atill be seen, sad “and forlorn, alast 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 dole- falness of Mrs, Gummidge. There are many ancient buildings that have stood the test of time better than the queer boathome of Peggotty.

Concert givers in Germany find It more and more difficult to get an au dience. Free tickets by no means in- sures 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 so cepts the ticket, but has no intentioa of attending the concert, so she gives them to her dressmaker, who {n turn bestows them upon her assistants, who probably may go to the concert. In one case it was found that of 200 trea tickets only 47 were used.—Mw sical America. ‘.
