VOL.XXXI NO5 NEGRO DEMOCRAT ANOTHER SELL TO DEMOCRATS Negro Democrats Issues a Call—Not Conditions. Satisfied with Existing Conditions. The following call has been issued by National Political League, which has members and branches in thirty States. To Colored Americans and Their Fellow Countrymen, Greetings: By vote of the Executive Committee and by order of the President this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro-American) Political league is to send the 4d annual meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey, at 5, 10, 110. August 4, 2014 This national convention of Colored citizens is called under what grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all Colored Americans the same rights and privileges of citizenship as are enjoyed by the other citizens of these United States of America. In the Southern States 95 per cent. of the million Colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rape of the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfruishment in inaugural address and palliated the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the oath he had just sollen taken. President Wm. H. Tait even intimated the legality of those devices for nullifying the 15th amendment by State laws which are as much worse than fraudulent practices, as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specially clothed with power to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their flagrant violation, save when actively condoning it by seating Congressmen elected under the violation, as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the South. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving Southern disfruishment laws, thus by persistent refusal of relief, strengthening the nullification and emboldening the nullifiers of the supreme law of the land. In view of the very nature of our Republican institutions, as well as of the declared reasons for our existence as an independent government, is not this condition sufficiently serious to twelve millions of Colored Americans to justify and necessitate a national convention, and sufficiently alarming to all believers in our country's destiny and defenders of her democracy and of her fair name to compel their sympathy and support? But what train of evils were let loose upon Colored Americans with disfranchisement! In the Southern States unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation, or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from State, quasi-public and the public schools, forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignominy and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into peonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without representation. Left in that hapless and helpless condition of citizens without voice as to law-maker, law-enforced, or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but denied all trial by court or jury; are the prey of the fiendish,white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Inevitably this race persecution infects the North, Color prejudice is on the increase. Discrimination based on color in civil rights and in economic opportunities is gaining ground, Jimcrow cars have reached the borders of the national capitol, twice color disfranchisement has raised its horrid head above Mason and Dixon's line, while bloody race riots and barbarous lynchings have reached up to Illinois, even to the home of the martyred Lincoln. Most harmful and portentous of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By this declaration that he would not appoint Colored citizens to office where white citizens objected, he completed Southern disfranchisement. It is Colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure, aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt after trial, is boldly continued. The unique degradation of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized by a federal commission, while the federal court in support, declares the right of even an inter-State railroad to segregate Colored passengers. Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serfdom, unless our Republic is to abandon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed. Graver crisis in a republic could hardly be. THE BEE WASHINGTON Colored Americans, rally to your own defense. From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self-protection against this menace. And let all true patriots of whatever race, all friends of liberty, battle with us for equality of citizenship, for true democracy, that this may be in very truth the home of the brave and the land of the free. By order of the president. By order of the president, ALEXANDER WALTERS, WM. MONROE TROTTER, Corresponding Secretary. June 22, 1910, 21 Cornhill, Boston, Mass.

The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses, which will convene in Philadelphia, August 17, 18 and 19, bids fair to be the most successful of its kind ever held. The Citizens' Committee—Mrs. J. B. Taylor, President; Mrs. George Blackwell, Secretary; Miss Helen Stevens, Treasurer—in connection with the Philadelphia Graduate Nurses' Association, are making every effort to entertain this intelligent body of women. The hospitality of the City of Brotherly Love being well known, the nurses and their friends may come to this city with every assurance of having a royal reception. The convention will be held in St. Peter Claver's Auditorium, Twelfth and Lombard streets. Street cars taken at Twelfth and Market streets, from Broad Street station and Reading Terminal, go direct to the Auditorium. All visiting members of the association will be accommodated without charge. Headquarters at the Auditorium. All communications for housing and board, address Mrs. Mary R.

Tyler, Judge Robert H. Terrell and Register W. T. Vernon. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Sr., is prevented from touring the State of Delaware with Dr. Washing- MR. W. SIDNEY PITTMAN. ton on account of an engagement in New York City, July 3rd to 5th. The Bee will be well represented by Mr. W. Sidney Pittman and Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., who will no doubt give the readers of The Bee, and the entire country, what no other paper will have. Mr. Pittman is one of the most careful journalists in the country and an architect of national reputation. This tour will be the most noted in the career of this distinguished educator. It will be noted because Dr. Washington is doing what he can for his people in a State where the freedom of speech is allowed, and those who will accompany him are men of education and influence. At the White House. Prior to the President leaving the city Monday, Judge Robert H. Terrell and M. Gregory, of New York, called to pay their respects. They were ushered into the President's private office by Secretary Norton. Mr. A. Calvin Chase also saw the President by engagement, and had quite a chat with him. PICC THORN Hon. Cuno Rudolph, Commissioner, celebrates his Fiftieth Anniversary Is There Fraud? SCHOOL DISCRIMINATION. Supt. Stuart Called on to Investigate. The People to Ask for the Removal of Supt. Bruce. Superintendent Stuart is called upon to investigate what looks upon its face to be gross frauds and irregularities in our colored schools. In the recent graduation that took place at Convention hall, Friday evening, June 17th, quite a number of students graduated. It seems that in the rating a self-constituted committee met and passed upon the merits and demerits of the graduates. Those students who were conditioned in two or more studies were graduated and placed ahead of unconditional students. Superintendent Stuart has taken up the matter himself for investigation, and he will be asked to make a change in several heads of the colored schools. The wildest indignation is seen to exist on the part of parents and the citizens, and what the outcome will be no one knows. Mr. Alexander Payne, of this city, left the city Monday evening for Staunton, Va., where he will attend a meeting of the stockholders of the Dime Saving Bank. This is one of the most successful banks in the State of Virginia. The bank will enter its new building. SEES PLOT IN LYNCHINGS. Lecturer Declares Acts of Violence in South are Without Grounds. Cleveland, O., June 22. "Lynching is the outgrowth of the feeling of anger on the part of the white people of the South because the negro was lifted from his former state of slavery, given the ballot and placed on an equal footing with them," declared John P. Green in an address lynching before a large number of colored people at the Shiloh Colored Baptist Church last night. "At the close of the Civil War the negro was on a pedestal of glory," he continued. "He had fought courageously through the war for the North, and he had been true to his trust with the South. He had been left to protect the women and children of the South, and he had been true to these people at home. Then the people of the South found to what point the negro had been elevated and they cast about for some means to reduce him to his former state. They chose women as the last resort and declared the negro a brute and a menace to women. "It is a significant fact that in no other country where the negro lives has there been such a charge against him. There is not proof to support the charge, because he has never been tried." Mr. Green said the President, ministers and newspapers should work to develop a sentiment against this estimate of the negro to end lynching. "I wish that you would please state that the lynching of Elmo Curl at Mastadon, Miss., was a most orderly affair, conducted by the bankers, lawyers, farmers and merchants of that county. The best people of the county, as good as there are anywhere, simply met there and hanged Curl without a sign of rowdyism. There was no drinking, no shooting, no yelling and not even loud talking." This was the statement which a well dressed, nice looking man who entered the Commercial Appeal office Wednesday afternoon asked to be published. He proved to be J. D. Miller, tax assessor of Concordia parish, La., and the brother of W. P. Miller, who was shot by Curl at Mastadon several weeks ago when Mr. Miller went at the head of a posse to arrest him for writing an insulting note to a white woman. Mr. Miller went on to state that when the assembled yemanion of Panola county had transferred Curl from the main line of the Illinois Central railroad to Mastadon they halted under a well-limbed tree within forty feet of the cabin from which Curl shot young Miller. "When the party arrived there," continued Mr. Miller, "they asked me what were my wishes in the matter. Their courtesy to me could not have been surpassed. I told them that I did not believe in brutality, nor did I approve of mutilation of bodies or the torture of slow burning, but that I would like to have the privilege accorded me of making the first pull on the rope. All accorded to my wishes in the matter. "But I believe that the negro was dead from fright before he was hauled up from the ground. The knot was tied at the back of his neck and he was pulled up slowly from the ground. There was no jerk or fall, yet he never kicked, and so far as we could see no muscle ever moved after he was hoisted into the air. In fact we had to lift him to his feet, as he seemed unable to stand. All of the best people of that section took part and I have never seen a more orderly assemblage anywhere."

Chase, Chairman; Dr. John R. Francis, Thos. L. Jones, Jesse Lawson, Henry E. Baker, Geo. H. DeReef. To the Alumni and Friends of Howard University; The persons named above have associated themselves together for the special purpose of raising a sufficient fund to purchase an oil painting of the late Hon. John M. Langston to be presented to Howard University. In order to-popularize the movement it is agreed that the individual contributions shall be one dollar each, and while it was the purpose primarily to have the fund raised by the Alumni of Howard University, contributions from other friends of the university and of the family of Prof. Langston will be gratefully received and promptly acknowledged. It will be remembered that Prof. Langston founded the Law Department of the University in 1869, and became its first dean. He was also vice-president of the University and acting president after the resignation of its first president, General O. O. Howard, whose name it bears. In scholarship, in experience, in high personal character, in an exalted sense of duty, and in loyal devotion to the interests of his race. Prof. Langston brought to the University a splendid example of the type which the University sought to perpetuate. And in all the varied fields of his subsequent labors, whether as a member of the Board of Health of the District of Columbia, as minister plenipotentiary to the Republic of Haiti, as an eminent educator in his native State, as representative from that State in the halls of Congress, or in the active practice of his profession in the courts of Washington, he was always the dignified, courty gentleman, the loyal friend, the upright citizen-fit example for the youth of any race. The Alumni and friends of the University will, we believe, be glad of this opportunity to perpetuate at the University the memory of such a character, not only because of his useful service in behalf of the University, but because of the inspiring example of his life among his fellowmen. It is the intention of those having this project in charge to have the portrait executed in oil by a competent artist, and placed in the new Carnegie Library, at Howard, in the "anti- slavery gallery," where its companion portraits will be those of Frederick Douglass, Charles Sumner, John Brown, Wendell Phillips and the group known as the "Lincoln Emancipation Cabinet." Those desiring to do so are invited to send their contributions to the treasurer, Prof. George William Cook secretary of Howard University, Washington, D. C., who will prompt acknowledge all contributions. MONOTECHNIC SCHOOL URGED Roscoe C. Bruce Suggests New Education for Negroes. Pleading for the establishment of a model "monotechnic school" for the education of Washington's colored population along lines of industrial training, Assistant Supt. Roscoe C. Bruce, of the public school system, has put forth the statement that without such training thousands of colored children, whose parents show no interest in their education, can never be brought successfully into the influence of the schools. Mr. Bruce suggests a $250,000 building to be placed in the center of negro population here, to house a system of class-rooms for modern industrial schools of elementary grade. He believes that such a school would be constantly filled with colored pupils of thirteen years and upward. He believes the school should be established for boys and girls already with a slight knowledge of some trade, as well as those who have no experience. He gives as two leading causes for the enormous number of poor children who, in spite of the compulsory education law, have never been enrolled on the school books, the fact that the schools as at present conducted are literary and abstract to a great degree, offering no direct preparation for the earning of a livelihood, and also because parents in many cases are unable to provide children with proper clothing. School Head Praised. Editor The Washington Herald: Editor The Washington Herald: Because of his faithfulness to the duties of his office as president of the board of education, it is to be much regretted that Capt. James F. Oyster has decided to cease serving the people along that line. Respecting the schools of this city, James F. Oyster has endeared himself in the hearts of all with whom he has come in contact, and he deserves to be honored in life—not so much in death—for his very excellent services in shaping the pathway for the future men and women of our land and country. Mr. Oyster should not be allowed to resign the office of president of the board of education without stumbling over the prayers and earnest wishes of the teachers, parents; students, and all well-wishers for the future success of our public schools. The name Capt. Oyster is well known, from the little tots in the kindergarten to the young lads and lasses in the High schools of this city. Everybody loves him and appreciates his earnest work in bringing about success for the public schools of Washington. And the great army of intelligent teachers in Washington owe it to Capt. Oyster, and themselves alike, to petition this good and faithful servant to remain at his post and guide the helm of the old ship of education a few years longer. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. From the Times. CHILDRENS' DAY AT GALBRAITH What They Owe Their Parents. Editor of The Bee: Please allow me space in your very valuable paper to say a few words about the church of my choice. Last Sunday was childrens' day at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. The Rev. Dr. Corrathers preached a very interesting sermon in the morning, taking for his subject: "Relative duty of parents and children." A large congregation greeted this very distinguished pastor of Galbraith church, who seemed to have been at his best. The sermon was listened to with rapt attention from start to finish, and everybody seemed to have enjoyed it immensely. Dr. Corrathers spoke at length upon the duty of the parents towards their children, and made it plain to the young men and women, who are being graduated from the High schools and colleges, that they owe their fathers and mothers a lasting debt of gratitude for having denied themselves of much of the necessities of life that they might receive a good education, etc., etc. The collection for the day was $100. To-morrow Dr. Corrathers will commence a series of lessons taking for his study "The use and fall of motions." Come early and everybody, if you wish to get a good seat. The subject is a deep one, and those who know Dr. Corrathers are acquainted with the facts that he is equal to the great task of discussing them, and needs no introduction by us. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. Vote Early No votes for the teachers' contest will be received after seven o'clock this evening, hence all votes must be in at that hour. Polls open until 7 o'clock this evening. Not a vote received after that hour. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B. Maxfield Herman Drear has the distinction of being the first colored student at Bowdoin admitted to Phi Beta Kappa. He is a graduate of the M Street High school. The War Department has made arrangements to erect a Confederate cemetery near St. Mary's County, Md. The entire cost will not exceed $20,000. The crusade of the Health Department against uncleanliness in business houses and food adulterations is being continued with vigor. Commissioner Rudolph entered on the second half century of his life Sunday. We hope he will have as many more years of usefulness and good service in the future as in the past. Fifty-eight cotton mills in North Carolina will shut down for four weeks in July and August. This will cause 700,000 spindles idle and about 1,000,000 pounds of yarn and cloth off the market weekly. This has been done to lower the price of cotton. Secretary MacVeagh, of the Treasury Department, now that the fiscal year of the government ends with the close of business, June 30, has expressed himself as well satisfied with the operations of his department. According to the statement made by Collector Rogers, there is $100,000 worth of personal property due the District. He intends to collect the money or have the property seized and sold. Boston is preparing for a missionary exhibit May, 1911. It is to be known as "The World in Boston." It is said 500 churches and 63 religious organizations are interested. Prof. Kelley Miller, of Howard University, delivered an address on "Race Loyalty," in New Orleans, La., last week. An entire mountain top top of 1,000 acres, having an altitude of 3,000, was the birthday gift Mortimer R. Proctor received from his father, ex-Governor Proctor, of Vermont. Prof. Cyrus Thomas, a well-known scientist, long connected with the Bureau of American Ethnology, and who for thirty years devoted himself to research of the early inhabitants of this country, died last Sunday. The enumeration of the Indian population' of the thirteenth decennial census will probably be the last time tribal relation will be shown. It is calculated all red men will have become citizens in ten years hence. Col. Roosevelt's first public utterance in this city, it is said, will be about November 15th, at Convention hall, opening the fall lecture course of the National Geographical Society. President Taft heads the list of subscribers to a movement to erect a national memorial to Edward Everett Hale, late chaplain of the United States Senate, in Boston, Mass. It is said "The Linley," the "Dry Air" and other processes recently invented have made it possible to send meats from Australia and South America to the London market perfectly sweet and fresh. In 1895 there were 2,758,154 women agricultural laborers in Germany. In 1907 the number of women engaged in such pursuits had risen to 4,508,986. Sergeant Dean, who has a record of twenty-five years of good service, has been appointed the new lieutenant and commander of the harbor precinct. Miss Sara O. Henderson, who brought suit against the Hillesterc Hospital, at Pittsfield, Mass., won her suit for $3,000 against the hospital for drawing the color line. Dr. Booker T. Washington has written an article for the 'American Magazine, reviewing the work being done by Bert Williams, the colored comedian. Williams has come to be one of the highest priced vaudeville artists in the country. It is said Joe Gans, the colored pugilist, who won the lightweight championship in 1902, and held it until 1907, is dying of tuberculosis in Arizona. According to "The Chicago Defender," the Southern whites formed an organization in Illinois, and presented eight bills to the legislature, which had for their object the separation of the races in the State. A monument to Dr. Horace H. Hayden, a founder of the first dental college in the world, and founder and president of the Academy of Dental Surgeons, was unveiled last week. Weighing 416 pounds, the first bale of the cotton crop of 1910 was sold at auction for $375. In accordance with a promise, President Taft opened the Industrial Exposition, at Detroit, Mich., by pressing a button in this city. The exhibit exceeds $1,500,00 in value. According to Justice Brown, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, "the preparations of war" is the best assurance of peace. The Christian Citizenship Department of the Interdenominational Bible College was addressed by Mrs. Anna Cooper, former principal of M Street High School, on "Proper Conduct in Public Places." Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce has suggested a "Monotechnic School" for colored buildings in this city. A building costing about $250,000 where industrial workers will be of great benefit to the race. There seems to be general objection to certain textbooks in the schools, as it is said they are contrasting the life of Lincoln and Lee, and putting both on the same plane of devotion to duty and patriotism. .O let Me Press Thy Cheek to Mine De ~ Behn’ seine Ttang’ an meine Tiang’ - ; Sung by MARY CANT ALUPO of the Love’s Lottery Co.

Kenyon CoE ent aa a Ars From the N. ¥, Times. The tase of Chiles versus the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com- pany, decided by the Federal Supreme Court in an opinion handed down Tuésday, establishes the principle enunciated in 1883 in the Circuit Court of Tennessee that for members of different races separate accommo- dations may be provided in public ‘conveyances, if the accommodations he eaitally good. The colored passen- ‘ger Chiles traveled from the City of Washington on a through ticket he- ‘tucen states to Lexington, Ky. The Taw of Kentucky required that he be placed in a “Jim Crow” car after passing within the State's confines. and this, also, was in accordance with the railroad company's rules. On \pril 16, 1907, the decision of the Cir- cut Court in this case, now con- tirmed, “tclared that a railroad com- pany may, independently of a State ‘iw. adopt and enforce rules require ing colored persons, although they are mter-State passengers, to occupy scp fate coaches. a This opinion practically rever-e¢ the decision of the Supreme Court in 1875 in the cast of Hall versuy Deettir. )ycrein a “Jim Crow” act of Louisi- na was declared unconstitutional on ‘he ground that it presumed to refu- tite the conduct of carriers engaged ant anter-State commerce The present decision’ reveals the influence of the change in public opinion since the re- censtruction era: it justifies both the Haw and compliance with it by the fearrier, and permits the rest of the Sonthern State~ to amend their “Jim Crow” laws after the example of Ken- tucky. 7 The Southern legislatures. thwarted during the first years following the ewil war in ther efforts to separate negrocs from whites in public con- veyances, have gradually passed laws to thts effect in every State-save Mis- scuri, and the courts have sustained them. Oklahoma was restrained from incorporating the principle in its Con- stitution by the threat of President Roosevelt. But Oklahoma now hae its “Jim Crow" statute. On the other hand, the courts of the South are care- ful to require that the accomodations afforded to negro citizens shall be equal, though not identical, and the harsher penalties have been taken from the original enactments. It is ad- mitted, even, that ‘Jim Crow’ is not an opprobrious epithet since its origin has been traced to the dramatic song and negro dance of that name which Thomas D. Rice, the first negro min- jstrel, made famous in 1835. - aon Ts W. B.

Trade's Talons Not to Grip Famous Champs Elysees. Not Even a Philharmonic Palace Will Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thoroughfare and Children's Paradise Along Its Course. Paris.—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved as an artistic promenade and a children's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal council of Paris. The council not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct summer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, looking to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flourishing there. This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman looses his pursestrings without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 13 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threatened by an aroused populace. The single track across the driveway has always been regarded as a scar. It is not improbable that in a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tunnel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the city already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehicles or marring the beauty of the thoroughfare through the construction of viaducts. The first of these rubber Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tseets, notably the grand boulevards. The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Courts at first and was given its present name in the time of Louis XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile long and is lined from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, lime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite afternoon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there. that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side is a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-go-rounds and chocolate vendors. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while is bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the bables. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the "lungs" of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of importance in the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where there are great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point. An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre III, and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees in the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon L. Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander L. and Duc de Barril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Are the Avenues de Bols de Boulogne leads up past Princes de Sargans pink marble palace to the famous weeds. HISTORIC VIRGINIAHOME House Where George Washington's Mother Lived and Died at Fredericksburg Still Standing. Washington.—Not many tourists visit the house in which the mother of George Washington lived and died in Fredericksburg, Va. The Washington, or the branch of that large Washington family which played so great a role in American history, left the Pope's Creek's farm, later called "Wakefield," in Westmoreland county, about three years after the birth of George Washington. The family removed to another Washington farm in Stafford county on the north bank of the Rappannannock river, opposite Fredericksburg. It was there that much of the boyhood of Washington was spent. It was there that the mythical exploits of chooping down Where Mother of George Washington Died. Where Mother of George Washington Died. the cherry tree, etc., were performed. After George Washington and his brothers had left this farm and after the marriage of Betty Washington to Maj. Floyd Lewis of Fredericksburg, Mrs. Mary Washington bought a cottage in Fredericksburg, close to "Kenmore," the home of her daughter, and resided there many years. She died in that cottage August 25, 1789. The cottage is a plain two-story frame dwelling standing at the corner of Charles and Lewis streets—two village streets deep in dust or mud according to the weather. The house is heavily shaded by old sycamore trees and is furnished with Washington and other Virginia relics. It is owned and cared for by the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The superintendent is R. C. Beals, who with his wife occupies the house The big living room on the ground floor and to the left of the entrance is that in which Mrs. Washington died. As nearly as possible it is preserved as Mrs. Washington kept it. A rare old mahogany tester bed stands on that part of the floor where stood Mrs. Washington's bed. The original bed is owned by a member of the Washington family. The walls are lined with steel engravings which belonged to Mrs. Washington, and some of these were her property when she was Mary Ball, before her marriage to Augustine Washington, and came from her girlhood's home, "Epping Forest," in Lancaster county, about thirty miles from Fredericksburg. The room in the rear of this living and sleeping room was the dining-room, and the same table around which the Washingtons ate stands in the middle of the floor. The dining-room is bare of carpets or rugs and was in Mrs. Washington's time. The furnishings are plain and simple. HEADS BANKERS' ASSOCIATION Lewis E.

The Corriere of Rome, which published some time ago a copy of a document said to have been found in the library at Bergamo containing an account of "an alrship voyage across the English channel in 1751," is receiving much attention at the hands of investigators. In the Tribune's notice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk named Grimald, of Civita Vecchia, was the chief actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Italian paper's article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. "Now," writes an Englishman from Rome, "the records of Civita Vecchia are being searched in vain for a Grimald and the papers of England for a story of the flight. The document may be in the library, but who was the practical joker who placed it there?"—New York Tribune. According to daily press reports wireless telephony has not proved an unqualified success on the battleship fleet. It was impossible to send messages over any great distance except under the most favorable conditions. and when the telephone was in use the telegraph had to keep silent. The late Dr. Theodore Wolf, professor of chemistry at Delaware college, set officeholders a rare example of unselfishness by having his fees as state chemist greatly reduced on the ground that they were exorbitant. "Dr. Wolf," said a Newark man, "I was a delightful lecturer. I often roped into the college to hear him. I'll never forget one of his lectures on quack medicines. "He told us about an early patient of his, a man who dosed himself with about a half-peck of pills and two or three gallons of quack medicine every week. "There was nothing the matter with the fool, but all this silly medicine swilling, and Dr. Wolf told him so, but it did no good. "Then Dr. Wolf appealed to the man's wife to stop him, but she declared that it couldn't be done. She had quoted at him, again and again, she said, the verse in the liturgy that pointed out his sin, and— "But where,' interrupted Dr Wolf, hewildered, 'where does the liturgy say anything against taking quack medicine?" in Acents.

There are many colored families who are living in crowded houses on small plots of land in towns or cities who want real freedom and real opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is very difficult to rear children in a crowded town or city. The place to rear children is in the country. In Macon County, Alabama, the colored people have a rare and exceptional opportunity. This is the county in which The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located. There is plenty of good land for sale on easy terms. There is a good schoolhouse, and the school term lasting from seven to eight months in every part of the county. The white people in Macon County are of the very best class. There is no disorder or racial trouble. We advise colored people who are now living in crowded towns or cities, in the North or in the South, and especially those who have children to raise to come to Macon County and buy a home where they can get plenty of land to cultivate and rear their families in the county free from the temptations of the cities and towns.

The Duke of Wellington is credited with the remark that a fool could place a million men in Hyde Park, London, but it would require a General to march them out. The colored children in the public schools in the District of Columbia, nearly 17,000 strong, are put there not by fools, but by honest and hard working parents with the hope that a General-not a Freak-would conduct them safely and thoroughly along the firing line of education. What blasted hope! Not since the day of George F. T. Cook and Winfield Scott Montgomery have the colored schools of the District of Columbia had a master mind at their head. An institution of learning of the capacity of the public school system for colored children has long passed the experimental point and requires a broad-gauge educator, without college frills or furbelows, as substitute for common sense. College education, when accompanied with mature judgment and practical experience, is a good companion, but when bereft of those essentials, is only a pleasing dream of departed days. The lack of cohesion between the present Head Master and his teaching force is in broad contrast with that of the administration of Cook and Montgomery. During the official life of those gentlemen as Head Master perfect harmony existed: confidence reigned supreme. No satellites were sent among the teaching force to create discord: no whispering corners breathing forth the superiority of the chosen few and discounting the brains of the many. Prior to the accidental incumbency of the present Head Master the children in the colored schools had no veneering education, but a solid-laid foundation upon which was built a lasting super structure. The fancy and theoretical educational lines laid down by the present Head Master smacks of the cold trimmings left over from some trade-mark from either Harvard or Tuskegee, or both. The deep interest we have in our schools, knowing them as we do from our early childhood, inspires us to champion their cause when we see them drifting from their safe moorings. The education of the negro boy and girl is too sacred a matter to be entrusted to inexperienced and immature experimentalists simply because they talk college. In this practical day those who are, numerically, in authority in the administration of school affairs owe it not only to themselves, but to the large number of colored citizens and taxpayers in the District of Columbia, that a thoroughly competent and practical man is placed in charge of their schools. The white schools have in Mr. A. T. Stuart a Head Master that any school system should be proud of. His breadth and depth as a gentleman and scholar are unmeasurable; his learning and integrity are companions—one of broad culture and the other unquestionable. It is not to be expected for the colored, or any other schools, to get the duplicate of Mr. Stuart. "For nature made but one such man and broke the mould." etc. The colored people do ask, and will insist that their schools be made good public schools, and not a poor imitation of college. The school days fr the negro boy and girl are by reason of poverty and combination of circumstances limited. Therefore it becomes a necessity to give them something educationally substantial, and not waste the few golden days in abstract deductions. There are --- among the colored people broad-gauge men of sensible caliber, free from self-esteem and conceit and fully competent to direct the colored school on a safe and sane plan, even if they don't have college stamped upon the broadest part of their anatomy. And what reason can be given for not securing such a man? MR. EVENS. Dr. Bruce Even's Apology. Dr. W. Bruce in an address before the parents and citizens at Israel Methodist Church, Monday night, said among other things the following: Honest Efforts in School "This sweeping statement, so often heard, I desire to refute in the strongest possible terms, for the great majority of the children in Armstrong School, at least, are putting forth honest effort in every direction to repay the sacrifices made by poor, hardworking parents to send them to school. "There is another danger which I wish to mention at this time. There are those among us who pretend to a kind of leadership who would not and do not hesitate to defame the good name of our public schools by, covert attacks on the integrity and honesty of the members of our board of education, our superintendent and assistant superintendent and their subordinates. Have a care about accepting advice from such people! Their only hope and only thought is to gain a kind of cheap notoriety by forcing themselves in the most offensive way upon the parents and pupils of our system:" Assured of Square Deal. "From Capt James F. Oyster, president of the board of education; from Supt A. T. Stuart, from Asst. Supt R. C. Bruce and from their colleagues and subordinates, every parent and every child, no matter how humble might be the occupation or the social status, will get on all occasions and at all times a square deal." The Bee is at a loss to know where Dr. A. Bruce Evens got all of this rot. To whom is he trying to cater? The Bee denies that the people or any one else in the colored race in this city ever condemned, abused or criticised any member of the Board of Education for not doing his or her duty. The colored people have the highest regard and respect for Captain Oyster, and no one knows this better than Dr. Bruce Evens. The colored people do respect Superintendent Stuart, and if they have criticised Assistant Superintendent Bruce, they have done so before his face and for a just reason. Can Dr. Bruce Evens say as much? No one has criticised Mr. Bruce any more than Dr. Evens, especially when he, Bruce, used certain parts of a letter written by Dr. Evens to Mr. Bruce. When Mr. Bruce reduced Prof. Storms, who criticised this act any more than Dr. Evens? In speaking of a "square deal," who has condemned the methods in the normal school any more than Dr. Evens? Just a few days ago he declared that he intended to clean out the entire normal school. Was a "square deal" being issued out when Dr. Evens made this declaration? The colored people have the highest respect for the Board of Education, and they certainly feel grateful to Captain Oyster and certain other members of the Board for what has been done for parents and children The Bee would advise this discipline of industrial education to go slow. IN HIS PRIME Commissioner Cuno Rudolph celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his birth. Mr. Rudolph is just in the prime of life, young, handsome and noble. He is a gentleman of fine parts, and the people wish for him fifty more successful years. There is no red tape strung-across the door of Commissioner Rudolph. His private secretary, Mr. Hibbs, is a gentleman, and always greets the visitors of the distinguished Commissioner in a manner that makes them feel that Mr. Rudolph represents them in the affairs of our local government. He is no autocrat or bombast. He has a dignified and a reserved air that will make you feel that you are an American citizen. He doesn't have to puff like a steam engine going up a hill to cause the populace to look with fear. The Bee congratulates you, Mr. Rudolph, and may you live to a ripe old age. OUR SCHOOLS AGAIN It makes but little difference how hard some of the members of the Board of Education work to bring the colored schools up to the standard of the white schools, a change must be made in several of the heads of the colored schools. There is too much favoritism and discrimination, which the present investigation will bring out. Who is to blame, is the question the Board of Education is now investigating. Certainly the principal of the schools would not have made such a marking if they had not been ordered to do so. Who ordered them is the question the Board should investigate, and if Mr. Stuart finds on investigation that any one higher in authority in the schools is guilty of fraud or wrong-doing, he should be dismissed at once. TEACHERS' CONTEST The teachers' contest will close this evening at 7 o'clock. All votes must be in the hands of Miss G. B. Maxfield by 7 o'clock this evening. She will be at the office of the Bee until 7 o'clock to receive all votes, and at that hour sharp the polls will close. Voters are warned that no votes will be received for any one after the hour named above. Thus far Miss Mary E. Willson runs ahead, with Miss Beatriz L. Chase a close second, Miss Elfrida Kennedy third, and Mr. Robert Mattingly fourth. Up to the hour this paper went to press, hundreds of votes have come in for the respective contestants. The winner will be announced next Saturday. KNOCKERS AND KICKERS. What has become of the knockers and kickers? The Bee means those who wanted to control the anniversary of the freedom of the negroes. Where is Prof. (?) R. R. Wright and his cohorts? Why don't they come forward and denounce Congress for defeating the five thousand dollars appropriation for the use of the committee? The Bee knew the moment there was the least dissatisfaction there would be defeat somewhere. Dr. Washington was the first person to suggest the proposition of the idea of a celebration and the first man to be rebuked by a lot of disgruntlers. MR. BIEBER. What offence has Mr. Bieber committed that the Senate refuses to confirm him for the Collector of the Port of Georgetown? Mr. Bieber has had a hard time. He is an active Republican and rendered great assistance to the Republican party in the last campaign. The alleged charges against him were investigated and found to be untrue. Now, will men carry their personal grievances beyond reason and endurance? Mr. Bieber is competent and the Bee hopes that the President will appoint him. SECRETARY NORTON The President's private secretary, Mr. Norton, is not only a polished gentleman, but a man who will win for the President a host of friends. What the President needs now are friends, and strong ones at that. Secretary Norton endeavors to cater to the people. He is not one of those bombastic aristocrats who imagines that he owns the world as well as the people. The President could not have made a better selection. Government Jobs. Persons who do not reside in Washington can form no adequate idea of the pressure brought to bear on Senators and Representatives for positions in the Government service. Men and women, young and old, troop to the Capitol every day with this refrain: "I want a job and I know you can get it for me if you only try." As a matter of fact, it is an extremely difficult thing to secure positions in the service, now that civil service is the rule in all the executive departments. This, however, is an advantage rather than a disadvantage to the office seekers. Especially is this true of the men who make the applications, for when a man goes "into the Government" he practically condenses himself to amount to nothing for the rest of his life. There is scarcely an opportunity for any but the slowest promotion, and a Government clerk who gets more than $1,500 a year is playing in fine luck. To one young man who was anxious to get such a job a western representative once said: "Young\ man, you will have more chance for a future if you go back home and maul rails. You might as well cast yourself into the sea with a millstone about your neck as to go into a Government department and expect to accomplish anything." Nevertheless, it is hard to persuade the office hunters of this. They expect to have easy hours and a comparatively easy wage. They get this, but added to it is "drudgery for life, a treadmill existence" unlighted by the hope of achievement or fame. When they marry and rear families their former "easy wage" cannot keep them out of debt, and this once accumulated in Washington, remains.—From Popular Magazine. The "Nigger" Who "Won't Work." Our Tar Heel contemporary the Charlotte Observer says: "It is rather surprising to learn from official estimates that in 1910 South Carolina's crops of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, flaxseed, rice, potatoes, hay and tobacco aggregated more than North Carolina's, although North Carolina led Virginia by not far from 50 per cent and Tennessee by a fair margin. In 1899 the two States stood: North Carolina, $53,214.00; South Carolina, $51,324.00. In 1909 the standing was: South Carolina, $109,013.00; North Carolina, $103,148.00. "South Carolina has an area considerably less than three-fifths as large as North Carolina's and a population little more than two-thirds as large.

The three teachers receiving the highest number of votes will be allowed to take the trip any time in July or August. THE WASHINGTON BEE over, of South Carolina's population nearly three-fifths are negroes, while North Carolina's negro population is in the proportion of slightly less than one-third. To be sure, North Carolina has much larger areas of mountain and coast land which have not yet been made productive, but, after all allowances, South Carolina's record remains the better. "It behooves North Carolina farmers to catch the pace which South Carolina is setting." The point of chief significance and interest in these figures is that South Carolina has a population three-fifths negro, North Carolina a negro population of less than one-third and Virginia a still smaller proportion; yet South Carolina leads her whiter sisters. Many years ago two yellowed and anamic farmers sunned themselves upon a worm fence in Georgia and after a few hours communion with corncob pipes agreed that "the damned 'niggers' wouldn't work anyhow." Then they retreated to the house, drank mountain whiskey with fluency, and left their wives and children to do the chores. The "slogan" passed to Mississippi and became a thing to charm with. Now we are told that South Carolina, with its great percentage of negro population is a "banner producer" of crops!—New York Sun. Class Day Exercises The graduating exercises of the eighth grade classes took place on the 22nd day of June at the following places: Those of the Tenth Division, Mr. J. C. Nalle, Supervising Principal, were held at Summer School. The exercises of the Eleventh Division, Miss M. P. Shadd, Supervising Principal, were held at the New Mott School. The Twelfth Division, Dr. W. S. Montgomery, Supervising Principal, held their exercises at the M Street High School, and the Thirteenth Division, Mr. J. W. Walker, Supervisor, were held at the M Street High School. Never before was greater activity observed in the grades; the principals rallied around their supervisors, who vied with one another for the success of this new feature in these schools. All of them should be congratulated. 一 Class 5 day exercises were held in several of the eighth grade class rooms this year by the pupils of those schools. Those at the Alfred Jones School and the New Mott were very successful and well attended. Class day exercises at Alfred Jones School. Program. Class March (Original)... Mary Logan Gems...

We are going forth to conquer and to do the golden rite; We are grieved to leave our teacher, we dislike to leave our school, But we must be marching on. Chorus. Glory, glory hallelujah! Etc. This has been a year of pleasure, one of great endeavor too, We studied our books, thoroughly, we know them through and through, We mean to always conquer, to always dare and do, As we are marching on. This parting is not pleasant, yet our hearts are light and gay, When we realize our teacher has prepared for us the way, We'll always sing her praises, naught will e'er our song allay As we are marching on. Miss Mary Dickerson, of Eleventh street, left the city on Monday to attend the summer school at Michigan. Election of Officers.

Children's Day exercises were observed at the Mount Zion M. E. Church, 29th street northwest, on Sunday last. Rev. D. W. Hayes preached a special sermon to the young people at the 11 o'clock service.

Crusor, President of the Epworth League of the church. Thanksgiving service of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of United Brethren Lodge of Falls Church, Va., was held Sunday afternoon at the M.

Cason's Concert. The downpour of rain did not prevent a large attendance at the grand concert given Monday evening last by Mme. Gertrude Brown Cason, under the auspices of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club, in the main auditorium of Fisherman's hall, F Street S. W. The program was a good one and commenced with an overture by the Manhattan orchestra. Miss Mattie Bowen was then introduced, and delivered an address on the subject of "Love," which she said was too often sadly wanted in the church, in societies and in the home. She spoke in her usual pleasing vein and was frequently applauded. Mr. Nathaniel Guy, as "Fra Giacemo" (Buchanan), fully sustained his wide reputation as a finished eloquentist. His interpretation was faultless. The musical star of the evening was Madame Cason, whose appearance on the stage was the signal of a five minutes' encore. She was most becomingly gowned, and her voice, tuned by nature, and cultivated in the schools of musical art, was simply charming—at times bewildering. She appeared in two numbers and each time was forced to return in response to the hearty encore of the audience. The piano solos by Miss Jewel Jennifer and Mme. Anna May Garrett were far above those usually heard at concerts, and they are artists of unusual ability. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton appeared and requested the audience to accept "When Malinda Sings." In lieu of an address, Mr. Thomas Heathman, as "Brer Watkins," was a mirth-provoking, side-splitting, rip-roarous affair and a fitting conclusion to the concert. Much credit is due Messrs. J. R. Cooper, Francis Wells, James Cameron, J. W. Bell and Henry Matthews, the Committee of Management and also to Messrs. James H. Gordon, J. R. Boyd and Albert Brooks, who worked untimingly to make the concert a success. DEATH CLAIMED HER. Miss Lillian B. Holmes Dies Suddenly, Solemn Services at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church—A-Worthy Young Woman. The funeral of Miss Lillian B. Holmes, the beloved daughter of Joseph H. and Cecelia B. Holmes, of 525 Twenty-first Street N. W., who suddenly died of acute indigestion at Abury Park, N. J., Saturday, June 10th, was held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Tuesday afternoon, June 21st, at 3 o'clock. The services were conducted by the pastor, Doctor Walter H. Brooks, assisted by visiting Pastors Garner, of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Ricks, of the First Baptist Church, Jasper, of the Brentwood Church and Clair, of Asbury; all of whom were present because of their esteem and admiration of the Christian character of the deceased. Miss Holmes was just in the prime of life, and her sudden and unexpected demise dealt a shocking blow to her immediate family and a host of admiring and loving friends. Although not permitted to live long, being only thirty-two years of age, hers was a life of service in benefiting humanity by good deeds in the church, in societies and in her own home. She will best be remembered and mostly missed by the membership and worshipers of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, where she held mem- THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WEST bership for over sixteen years. She attended the Sunday school there from infancy to womanhood, and at her death was a teacher in the Infants' Department. The little ones, whom it was her pleasure and delight to teach, will grow to maturity cherishing a fond memory of her goodly nature. For many, years she was a member of the choir, and an untiring worker in the Young Peoples' Christian Endeavor Society. The influence which she exerted upon all with whom she came in contact cannot be over-estimated. Her untiring zeal, absolute devotion to Christian duty and genuine religious sympathy made her an invaluable member of the congregation which she so fittly graced and from which she will be universally missed. Not only as a church-member was she known, but also as a valuable and loyal member of the orders of St. Luke and the Household of Ruth, Queen of Sheba, Lodge No. 29, G. U. O. F. Her popularity and respectful standing in all of these organizations was clearly shown by the large audience who witnessed her funeral and thy splendid resolutions read. By her death the family has sustained the loss of a loving and devoted member; the church, a faithful, industrious and loyal worker; the societies, an amiable and useful char- Those Who Have Been Voted For.

One-third of Washington’s population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colon- ized 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 2 few foolish Negroes willing to be colon- ized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. . THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST- CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there‘are hun- dreds of them in the National Capital, can ob- tain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race preju- dice, swept completely out of the business dis- trict of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosper- ous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating con- ditions. Every coloted man and woman IN Wash- ington. é 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 SUC- CESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECES- SITY. . 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 propor- tion, adequate in every respect to meet the re- quirements of prosperous professional and busi- ness men.

Not one dollar of white capital will be ac- cepted 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 Presideat 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 $ro.00 per share. It is $10.07 NOW. It will advance in price far beyord $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Limeotn Memorial Building Company’s stock go to several times its present value. 7 This means that a share of stock costing $10.00 NOW will be worth $40.00 whex stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company’s earnings will be 20 per ceat, aud that is four times par, with every dollar in- vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the etty 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 $20.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 shat > of stock will be worth $40.90. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $ro.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Butid- .ing Company’s stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next aXot- ment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present oppar- tunity to get in as completely on the grownd floor as any one of the Company’s Directors are.

City of Mexico.--The ancient Church of Landin, one mile west of Saltillo, Mexico, is fast crumbling to ruins. It has a history that is in some respects the most remarkable of any church edifice on the continent. It was erected in 1532 by a devout priest of the Roman Catholic church, who was sent among the Indians of Spain's new possessions to convert them to the religlen which had been brought across the sea by Cortez and his followers. The priest soon surrounded L Ruins of Church of Landin in Mexico. the church with a colony of Spaniards and Indians. They went through a period of great privation on account of crop failures and the losses of their live stock by an epidemic of disease. A store of food supplies was sent to their relief from the City of Mexico, and the priest received permission direct from the king of Spain to establish a crude mint for coining copper money for the relief of the financial condition of the colony. These coins were cut in triangular shape and were issued to the Indians and members of the colony with the promise that they would be redeemed, coin for coin, by the government when the settlement became prosperous. These copper pieces were perhaps the first clearing-house certificates ever issued. The Indians, however, brought the financial relief scheme to a sudden end by counterfeiting great numbers of the copper pieces, which they presented for redemption. The priest became alarmed at the unlawful inflation of his circulating medium and fled from the country to avoid possible punishment at the hands of the government. In after years the parish of this ancient church established a copper smelter and engaged in mining and smelting copper ore on a large scale. The slag pile of this ancient smelter was found not far from the church a few years ago and the smelter at Saltillo bought and treated the slag at a good profit. An American contractor who built a railroad near the church made the owner of the property an offer of $1,000 for the corner-stone in the building.

Saving the North Woods It will be a great satisfaction to those who are fighting for the preservation of the Adirondack forests to learn that the first two of the oil-burning locomotives to be used have proved signal successes. The only complaint against them is based upon the rapidity with which oil makes steam, but this is hardly a serious difficulty. If this reform can reduce the number of fires by 30 per cent as is expected, it will prove the most effective means yet devised to prevent the devastation of the north woods by James.-Troy (N. Y.) Record. We Must Work Together "It has often been said that the negro was 'the white man's burden.' Rather it should be recognized that the negro is the co-laborer with the white man, in trying to make the country stronger." Ex-Governor Glenn, of North Carolina. We must work together if we'd be a nation strong, Each must try to do his duty, help the right, eschew the wrong; We must right each other's battles, listen to each other's call. We must work together white and colored, one and all. We must work together, every man must do his part, Matters not what race or color, each must have a willing heart; Each must give to each a "Square deal," stick together, stand or fall. We must work together, white and colored, one and all. We must work together, hand and hand thru thick and thin. There's no time to quarrel or wrangle, if we would the victory win; Life's too short to fight each other on this old terrestrial ball. We must work together, white and colored, one and all. We must work together, live in union, peace and love Faith and work and brain and muscle will the greatest mountains move; Prejudice, unjust, oppression, make the strongest nation fall. We must work together, all must strive to do their best.. Matters not what creed or color, north or south or east or west; They who stand for truth and justice must not, will not, cannot fall. Death of Miss Ida Countee. The sad death of Miss Ida S. Countee, one of the teachers in the public schools, whose residence was 216 D St. S. W., and which occurred Friday, June 3, robs the southwest section of the city of one of its popular feminine citizens. She had been in bad health for several years, during which time she was a sufferer, and had recently gotten so much worse that she was forced to remain home and was afterward compelled to retire to her bed which she never left alive. Miss Countee was one of those young ladies who possessed that amount of sunshine that compelled every one with whom she came; in She was born and reared in South Washington, receiving her early education in the public and high schools of the District of Columbia. She was appointed a teacher in the public schools several years ago, promoted from time to time, and was teaching the eighth grade at the time of her death. She was a faithful worker in the church and Sunday School, and other local departments of the church. She was also a member and faithful worker in other organizations. She was formerly the recording secretary of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, which position she held until ill health compelled her to resign until ill health compelled her known as "The Young Ladies," and also others. The funeral, which took place Tuesday, June 7th, from the Met. A. M. E. Z. Church, D St. between 2 and 3rd Sts. S. W., of which she was a member, was the largest held from that church for several years. Long before the funeral procession arrived the big church was taxed to her utmost capacity with societies, school children, and friends of the deceased. Among those societies who turned out to pay the last tribute of respect, was the Ilaine Invincible Auxiliary, the Young Ladies, and the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the above church. The floral tributes were of the largest variety of recent date, coming from various organizations and personal friends they almost hid the rostrum from view. Rev. W. A. Ray, the pastor, preached a most powerful sermon, in which he carefully reviewed the useful life of the deceased and urged others to follow her. Other speakers were Rev. P. A. Wallace, formerly the pastor of the church, and Rev. W. J. Howard, pastor of Zion Baptist Church. Interment was at Paines. She leaves a father, many sisters and brothers, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Grand Secretary James Field Needham, of Philadelphia, passed through this city en route to Richmond, Va. Mr. Wm. Haynes, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, Treasury Department, has recently been promoted to a clerkship of class 4, which is a well merited promotion. In a New Home Mr. Robert Campbell, who has conducted an undertaker's establishment with much success at 340 F street S. W., has moved to his new home, 348 Second street S. W., Makinsey Scott's old place. This place has been remodeled and modern improvements added, which makes it one of the best undertaking places in the city. Mr. Campbell has spared no pains or expense to make this his new home attractive and convenient in every way. He has built a new stable in the rear of his house, equipped with elevators and telephone connections There are four telephones, two in the stable and two in the house. So it can be seen that this young business man, who has been so successful in this particular line, is fully prepared, to give the public quick and satisfactory service. Robert Campbell's success is an example and an inspiration to the young colored man in Washington who is willing to work for success.

Cooper's Address Before Bible College. The story of an aged colored woman who always bowed her head when the name of Satan was mentioned, and who explained that it always pays to be polite, "as we never know into whose hands we may fall." was employed as an object lesson by Mrs. Anna J. Cooper last evening. Mrs. Cooper addressed the members of the Interdenominational Bible College at the vesper service in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Her subject was "Proper Conduct in Public Places." She said politeness is the first requisite to making friendship, and that proper behavior always indicates good breeding.
