McKINLY APPOINTED SURPRISED AT THE NEWS. Declares He Was Not a Candidate for the Position—Lived in City Since 1884—Probably Will Take Up His New Duties at Once. President Taft has appointed Whitefield McKinlay, of 936 F street Northwest, a real estate dealer, collector of the port of Georgetown, to succeed Howard S. Nyman, the presnt incumbent. Mr. McKinlay, when informed of the President's intention, expressed great surprise. "I was positively not a candidate for the place," said he. "I presume that some of my friends have been active in suggesting my name, but just who proposed and urged it I do not know. About three days ago some one came to me with a rumor that my name was being considered. That was the first intimation that I had. "I told the bearer of that information that I knew nothing about the matter and tried to find out from him where the rumor originated, but he could not tell me. Since then several persons have talked to me about the matter, but I knew nothing and know nothing now except what The Star tells me. It is a tremndous surprise to me. "Were Brig-Gen. Clarence Edwards in the country I might attribute the appointment to him, because he is one of my best friends, but he is touring the world with Secretary Dickinson. I do not know whom to thank for this honor besides President Taft. Native of Charleston, S. C. Mr. McKinlay was born in Charleston, S. C. in 1857, and attended Avery Institute in that State until he was seventeen years old, when he was appointed to West Point by former Representative Ranifer. He entered the Military Academy, but remained there only a few months. He returned to his native State and entered the University of South Carolina, but left it in 1877, because in that year the institution was closed to Negroes. Mr. McKinlay taught school for a time, and then went to Iowa, entered the Iowa University, and graduated from that institution. He came to Washington in 1884 and was engaged in various pursuits until 1887, when he established the real estate business in which he is now engaged at 936 F street Northwest. He lives at the Fred Douglass home, at W and 14th streets Southeast. He is secretary and trustee of the organization which had this permanent memorial to the colored leader in charge. He has supervision over the home. Mr. McKinlay was appointed a member of the homes commission by former President Roosevelt. This was the only public place that he ever held. He left the Government Printing office, where he was employed as a laborer, to enter the real estate business, in which capacity he was a success. Being successful in this business, the Capital City Savings Bank was established, and he was made one of its stockholders. The Medical Convention. To those contemplating a visit to Washington and the East the meeting of the National Medical Association August 23, 24 and 25, offers a rare opportunity. 1. Special rates in force between Atlantic City and principal points permit stop-over privileges ab Washington, while those attending the National Business League may also stop over at the Capital without extra charge. 2.

Here are the Government Medical Museums, open to all; the Freedmen's Hospital with the most modern equipment and in charge of our own people, available for clinical lectures, operations, and general observation; Howard University, first among Negro institutions for higher learning; the M Street and Armstrong Manual Training Schools, capstones of the finest public school system for education of colored youth in the country; 70 practicing physicians, 20 dentists, and 20 well-equipped drug stores, in themselves an inspiration to our ambitious youth. In short, a cordial social welcome, a pleasant period of relaxation amid most beautiful surroundings, and unusual professional advantages of hospital observation, medical libraries and museums await those who come to Washington City during the meeting of the National Medical Association, August 23, 24, 25, 1010.

De Lacy, of th M. Judge William H. De Lacy, of the Juvenile Court. A Cowardly Attack Lewis I. Taylor Assaulted. Lewis J. Taylor Assaulted. While Attorney Lewis J. Taylor was accompanying his wife to a neighbor's home in the vicinity of First and P streets Northwest last Monday evening, and on his return after having left his wife at the neighbor's home, he was accosted by nine white men, who demanded him to discuss the Johnson and Jeffries prize fight. Mr. Taylor said to them in a very gentlemanly manner that he didn't desire to talk about the fight; that he was not interested in the fight one way of the other, and had never been interested in the fight. Attorney Taylor further said that he would teh them who he was, and perhaps that would satisfy them. He had no more than uttered those words when one of the ruffians struck him a severe blow in the jaw and fractured it. Another knocked him to the ground; the seven others rushed upon him. He secured a stone and struck one of his assailants in the head, which caused the others to become frightened. A lady passed at the time and she gave an alarm. The officers from No. 2 precinct responded and succeeded in placing one of the men under arrest. He gave the names of the other assailants, who are expected to be arrested in a few days. Mr. Taylor is one of the most prominent members of the bar, and a man quiet and polite, and popular among the members of the bar. A Great Success DURHAM, N. C., July 16.—The National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, of which Dr. James E. Shepard is the president and founder, appears to be more of a success than its promoters hoped for. The close of the second week finds the enrollment in all departments approaching 100, made up of teachers, ministers, and people from other walks of life among the Negroes. Instruction is being given in normal and primary methods, history, geography, grammar, pedagogy, domestic science, dressmaking and millinery, basketry and vocal music. Rev. Jesse Hurlburt, of Newark, N. J., has just completed a series of lectures on Bible instruction, and is now being followed by Rev. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, pastor of the celebrated Roseville Presbyterian Church, Newark, N. J. Miss Grace Hemingway, the well known child story teller, has entertained the chautauquans during the past week on the art of story telling, illustrating its value in the training of children. For the next week, such attractions as Samuel J. McCracken, one of the best chautauqua lecturers the South has produced; Hon. N. B. Broughton, the Sunday-school worker; Bishop G. W. Clinton, and W. E. B. DuBois are to appear. Prof. C. G. O'Kelly, principal of the Slater Normal and Industrial Institute, has resigned that position to become vice-president of this institution. Dr. Shepard is being congratulated on all sides on the wonderful showing made, in the character of the lectures and other features and in the neat and commodious buildings that have been erected. National Association of Teachers Many of the foremost educators in this country will attend. Teachers from nearly every State in the country will attend. Some teachers from Washington will attend, among them being Miss Ida C. Plummer, who has served as secretary for this organization for four years. Recently this organization was placed before this country in a new light. The secretary of the N. E. A. SATURDAY JULY 23 1910 the Juvenile Court. of the United States becoming interested in our people, invited the secretary of the Colored Teachers N. E. A. to Boston. A cordial welcome awaited her arrival in Boston. Everything possible was done to make the trip to Boston profitable to the Association. President R. R. Wright, of Sayannah, Ga., was present in Boston, and was highly entertained during convention week. We do hope that more of the teachers in the East will avail themselves of the opportunity of attending this gathering of educated men and women who are laboring zealously to uplift the race. THE JUVENILE COURT. The Work of Judge De Lacy. There is one judge in this city whose name is a household word with the juveniles, and his name is William H. De Lacy, Judge of the Juvenile Court. When Congress established the court, it knew what was needed in the Capital of the nation. Judge De Lacy was the first judge to be appointed in this Court. He has a peculiar fitness for this branch of the judiciary. He thoroughly understands the characteristics of children, and the fatherly talks he gives, makes the child feel that a kind father is talking. At present, Judge De Lacy is at his beautiful home in Chevy Chase. He is surrounded by a sweet wife and five happy little children. He knows what it is to be a father. He knows children and knows how to talk to them. His home is all sunshine because his surroundings bring sunshine to him and his home. The report of December 19, 1909 was transmitted to Congress by President Taft. Judge De Lacy, in that report, stated to the President that during that year 2,546 juveniles passed through his court. There were 4,720 cases in the Court during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, constituting over 33 different offenses. Judge De Lacy, in this report, advocated strongly the establishment of play grounds, etc. It is a most interesting document, and it is stated that his report next December will be more interesting and more valuable than all previous reports. The Chief Clerk of the Court is Mr. Joseph Harper, the son of the late Judge Harper, who first decided that the Edmunds law was operative in the District of Columbia. The Harper brothers are two of the most reliable men in the Court's service. Mr. Lum Harper, the brother of Mr. Joseph Harper, is assistant clerk in the Police Court. These two men are invaluable assets to the local judiciary. Judge De Lacy is in need of additional help in his Court. There is almost as much business done in the Juvenile Court at times as there is done in either branch of the Police Court. Judge De Lacy is preparing to make some new improvements in his Court which are greatly needed, and the outlook is that the Juvenile Court will be in a building in a short time that will be a credit to the National Capital. CONDEMNED MR. TAFT. Hundreds Turned Away The widely advertised meeting of the Independent League met at True Reformers Hall last Tuesday night, with Rev. S. L. Corruthers presiding. So crowded was the hall hundreds had to be turned away. Rev. S. L. Corruthers was the first speaker, and he denounced the President and members of Congress for their dereliction toward colored Americans. His speech was loudly applauded throughout its delivery. Mr. J. T. Iverson, chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported a set of preambles and resolutions which were adopted. The resolutions called on every colored American throughout the United States to organize against the President and Congressmen who are now opposed to the colored Americans who had not done their duty. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., offers an unusually strong course for young men who are preparing to enter the Christian ministry. There is always an inviting field for the trained minister. Lectures by distinguished men will be delivered throughout the entire course. It will be thorough in every particular. It will seek to combine the cardinal principles of religion and work. One hundred young men are desired to enter this particular department. The regular school term opens October 12, 1910.

The management desires to announce that the theater will be opened as a first-class family theater, and nothing but the best and highest class of attractions will be presented. Full details later. Mr. W. H. Smith, of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, the well-known manager of the West, has been engaged to manage this theater, and will arrive about August 10 to take sole charge. He Said Something Mr. Miles C. Maxfield, left the city last week for an extended trip in the East, has returned. He visited many interesting points while away, and he had a most delightful time. He brought back many souvenirs that he collected in New York City and other places. He made several interesting addresses in New York City and especially at the Young Men's Christian Association, where his address was highly complimented by the president of the association. There is no man in this city more interested in the welfare of his people than Mr. Maxfield. St. Luke's Excursion. The I. O. St. Luke carried a fine crowd of people to Somerset Beach in the steamer Jane Moseley Thursday, July 14. This was one of the most orderly and successful excursions that has gone to the beach this season. There were representatives from nearly all the councils in the District of Columbia, and the officials of the order feel gratified at the success of their first annual excursion. Much credit is due the committee, all of whom wore neat badges, for their excellent services. The St. Luke people are making a good impression on the citizens of Washington. The St. Lukes go to Richmond in a special car. The management has thus cheated the Jim Crow law. Mr. Thomas Appointed. The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue of the Second District of New York, and leader of the colored Republicans in that city and State, has succeeded in having Benjamin F. Thomas, proprietor of the Hotel Maceo, New York City, appointed a State examiner of automobile chauffeurs, at a salary of $1,800 a year. As usual, Mr. Anderson is looking out for the interests of the race. Dr. James E. Shepard is much pleased with the prospects of his school. Prof. Kelly Miller has been lecturing in the South. ```markdown ``` REV. SYLVESTER L. CORROTHERS. Read The Bee. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B.

How Paris Chooses a Fete Sovereign Each Year. --- Mile, Luclenne Joly, a Hard-Working Seamstress Was Queen of the French Capital's Autumn Feast This Year. Paris. Although France is now a republic for the third time, her people still seem to hanker after royalty and their taste runs in the direction of queens. They can't have a regular queen, of course, so they must be contented with queens of a lower degree, who are chosen in various trades and various parts of France with all due ceremony. From time immemorial the tradespeople of Paris have celebrated each carnival by electing a queen from among the work people, whose chief merit is unusual beauty, the pride of birth being quite an unimportant factor. The vegetable women select their queen, the grocers theirs, the fishmarket makes its choice and so on. Then these several chosen queens are brought together for an appointed committee to pass judgment on them. The queen receiving the largest number of votes is raised to the highest honor and her title is—Queen of the Queens. It is a strange fact that for several years, with one exception, the fish market has furnished the Queen of Queens for this joyous fete. This year the business men of Paris inaugurated a Fete d'Automme (autumn feast), and October 2 and 3 were chosen as the days for the celebration. A very ceremonious meeting was held in the chamber of marriages at the city hall at which the delegates of 1 Mile, Luclenne Joly. the various business associations assembled a few days ago for the difficult undertaking of electing an ephemeral sovereign to preside over this fete. The delegates on arriving at the hall found 15 beauties sitting in state awaiting the decision of the judges. The idle, butterfly type was not represented, for the young woman who was to attain the supreme dignity of queen had to be taken from the ranks of the business women. After a moment's contemplation the president of the committee, M. Challanson, arose and in carefully selected words set forth the ideas which first inspired the business men to bring into existence this autumn feast. The delegates were then asked to vote for the queen of the fete. The situation was most embarrassing. Gallantry is proverbial with the Frenchman, and to his chivalrous mind it was almost treason to select one to the discredit of the other candidates. A choice had to be made, however. Above each candidate was a number and each delegate simply wrote the number of his preference on the slip provided for him and dropped it into a box. The first count showed that the delegates were of divers opinions and no one of the candidates had a majority. This necessitated another ballot. A signal was given to the brass band in attendance, and in a twinkling it was thrilling the assembled people with one of the most exciting popular alrs. The music gave courage to the timid and faltering judges, so that it was only a question of few minutes before the final vote was cast and counted. This formality over, M. Grandon, master of ceremonies, announced the result and proclaimed the chosen queen to be Mille. Lucienne Joly, queen of the dressmakers, a Juno-like brunette who had received 41 votes, thus making her Queen of the Autumn Feast. Blushing with pleasure and greatly agitated, the reigning sovereign thanked the assembly for the honor conferred on her, and the committee then escorted her and her 14 malds of honor to a restaurant, where the chosen one was congratulated demonstratively by her relatives and companions. Unquestionable Probity A housewife who had met with unpleasant experiences through a dishonest servant took the precaution before filling the vacancy, to write to the applicant's last employer for explicit information as to the girl's honesty: "I believe Mollie to be thoroughly honest," came the prompt reuly. "I certainly never knew her to take anything, not even my orders. She didn't even take pains." Perhaps it is no disgrace to be a ricker if the other fellow needs one Henry E.

Legler, who has entered upon his new duties as public librarian of Chicago. The former Wisconsin newspaperman, who is the administrative head of Chicago's public library, lost no time in going to work to earn the $6,000 salary the board voted him. Arriving in Chicago on an early morning train from his home in Milwaukee, Librarian Legler hurried at once to the beautiful building on Michigan avenue which is to be his workshop and began at once to knuckle down to his task. The new librarian consented to outline his plans only after expressly J. Henry E. Legler. providing that nothing he should say might be construed as criticism of his predecessor. "The principal aim of a librarian is to get the books under his charge into the hands of the people who want them with the greatest degree of facility commensurate with proper preservation of the books themselves," declared Librarian Legler. "As rapidly as the finances will allow I believe in extending the free-delivery stations. The number of branch libraries ought also to be increased. Free home delivery has been tried in a few cities, but it is not yet necessary for Chicago and does not compare with other and more urgent needs for what money Chicago has to expend on its public library. With the help of the school officials it is our hope that the circulation of books in the juvenile department may be increased to a great extent. "More liberal privileges, it would seem to me, may be extended to card holders. Elsewhere it is not an unusual custom for patrons of public libraries to be allowed the right of taking out two or three, or even more, books at one time on one card, providing they do not attempt to monopolize books for which there appears to be widespread demand. Here, I am told, the holder of a card may take out only one book at a time. I think that system may be changed with due regard for the convenience of all concerned. "The general trend everywhere also appears to be toward increasing the freedom of admission to book stacks. However, I want to make it clear that whatever changes I recommend will be only after careful consideration and after obtaining the consent of the trustees." Recently Mr. Legler refused an offer to take charge of the St. Louis public library and he also refused an offer to become New York state librarian. He was for many years a newspaper reporter, then became secretary of the Milwaukee school board, and for five years has been in charge of Wisconsin's state library commission, which handles hundreds of traveling libraries. Oak Park, Chicago's Fashionable Suburb' is Guarded by Two Canine Thief Catchers. Chicago,—Oak Park, the fashionable western-suburb at Chicago, is guarded by dog police. Daring robberies in the village are responsible for the One of the Police Dogs. addition of the dogs to the force and it is a noticeable fact that since the two dogs, "Nick Carter" and "Jesse James" have been on the force that hold-up men and burglar have not been so busy. The dogs are trained to follow a trail over any kind of a road, whether it be an oiled thoroughfare or a common country road. H. G. Strumpfer of Hammond, Ind., is the owner of "Nick" and Jesse." He says they will rid Oak Park of crooks. Old policemen, however, are skeptical. QUEENSLAND'S WATER TREES Wise Provision of Nature That Is One of the Curiosities of the Region. One of the curiosities in natural history in the colony of Queensland is the provision by nature of a supply of water in the roots of certain trees. On these roots the aborigines formerly depended for their water for several months of the year. There are several kinds of trees in Queensland from which water can be obtained, including three species of eucalyptus, and the kurrajong. The eucalyptus consists of a gum, which is the largest of the back country trees, a box and mallee. The first named is the most preferred, as yielding the greatest quantity. This tree resembles the red gum in appearance, the leaves being a little narrower and of a silvery color. It grows chiefly on sandy or light loamy soil and throws out numerous lateral roots at a depth of about nine inches from the surface of the ground. The position of these roots was ascertained by the blacks by repeatedly jabbing the points of a spear or sharpened stick in the soft earth at a distance of about six or eight feet from the trunk of the tree. The soil was then removed with a wooden shovel for some 20 feet or more and the root cut off at either end. This was then cut up into lengths of about 18 inches, the bark knocked off and the lengths stood on end in some receptacle to contain water. In many cases the blacks used a bag made of the entire skin of the male wallaby. As soon as all these pieces were placed on end the operator, beginning with the first placed, put the end in his mouth, and by a vigorous puff expelled the remaining water. The size of the roots chosen was, with the bark on, about the thickness of a man's wrist. The larger ones being more woody and less porous, contain little or no water. The water is beautifully clear, cool, and free from any unpleasant taste or smell. PLEASANT FOR THE TRAVELER Russian Method of Safeguarding Czar Necessarily Led to Some Apprehension. The late William E. Ingersoll, the noted life insurance manager, was an authority on insurance rates. "Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all over the world," said a New York manager, recently. "The Russian rates are very high. Mr. Ingersoll once explained to me, with a story, why this was. "A traveler in Russia, he said; noticed that the train was all decorated with flags and banners, and at every station a company of soldiers, and a band playing the national anthem. The traveler asked a barkeman the reason of all this ceremony. The barkeman, lowering his voice, replied: "I don't mind telling you, slr—but in the strictest confidence, be it understood—that a carriage in this train has been engaged for his majesty. But his majesty, as a matter of fact, won't set off till this evening. Thus the plot hatched against him may take effect on this train, you see, and our gracious sovereign will be saved." "The brakeman touched his cap and passed on, and the traveler, suddenly grown pale and nervous, stared from the window anxiously." High-Title Denied Washington. A friend calls attention to the fact that Washington, although commander in chief during the Revolution and again in 1758 during the French war, which did not really happen, did not bear the title of full general. On July 2, 1798, President Adams nominated him "to be lieutenant-general and commander in chief." This was followed by the act of March 3, 1798, of which the ninth section read "that a commander of the army of the United States shall be appointed, and commissioned by the style of 'general of the armies of the United States,' and that the present office and title of lieutenant-general shall thereafter be abolished.' President Adams, jealous for the executive preogative as commander in chief, made no appointment under this act and Washington died as lieutenant-general. Europe's Highest Village "The highest village in Europe" is the inscription on a post card which shows a group of wooden cottages on a bleak hill, with no sign of vegetation in sight and having as a background a range of ice-covered mountains. The name of the place is Cumez in the Canton Wallis. It lies 2,047 meters above the sea level, "where Monte Rosa raises its gigantic head into the clouds." The village consists of four families, and the latest census gives it a population of 26. "The storms of spring and fall and the snows of the winter months," says the sender of the card, "make life a dreary one, and still the people look happy, and doubtless they are so." A Careless Messenger. After a messenger boy had eaten his lunch in a Pearl street restaurant in the New York financial district, Harry Bohrer, the manager, found a package on the table, and opening it he discovered that it contained $23,000 in currency and also sufficient negotiable securities to make a total of $50,000. From the papers in the package he believed the valuables belonged to the state bank, a few doors away, and hurried there with the money. The cashier quickly identified the parcel and Bohrer was given a reward.

DOM 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.

EIGHT-BEE McKINLAY'S APPOINTMENT. The newspapers last Tuesday carried the announcement of the appointment of Mr. Whitfield McKinlay to the position of Collector of Customs for this district. First of all The Bee desires to thank and compliment President Taft for this recognition of the race. It evidenced the President's kindly feeling for the race, and his purpose to give us an equitable share of the patronage at his disposal. That Mr. McKinlay is fully capable to perform the duties of the office not one will question. His long residence in the District, as a citizen and a business man, clearly make him meet the demand for a local man for a local office. There may be some colored men who would have preferred some other man of the race purely on the grounds of personal friendship, but this can in no manner detract from the fitness of Mr. McKinlay for the place, and it should not deter every loyal race man, every man who is unselfishly loyal. from congratulating Mr. McKinlay on his appointment, and thanking the President for the recognition thus accorded to the race. Primarily. our first concern is the race, and the success of any colored man is a success that reflects credit, upon the whole race. No man who is true to himself and to the race will withhold congratulations from Mr. McKinlay, or will eject a single obstacle in the way of his confirmation. And Whitfield McKinlay was one of the original Taft colored men in this section, and did everything in his power to bring about his nomination and election. The appointment comes to him unsolicited, either directly or indirectly. He knew absolutely nothing about his being considered for the place until notified by the newspapers that his appointment had been announced from Beverly. We congratulate Mr. McKinlay, and thank the President. WOMAN HEAD OF SCHOOLS. The election of a woman as president of the National Association of Educators of the United States is not only an advanced step for the successful incumbent, but also blazes the path for woman in other important places in our public schools. The question of sex should not be the paramount consideration in the selection of teachers—brains, morals and integrity, as well as scholastic ability, should be important factors. As an object lesson, take the public schools for colored children in the District of Columbia. Could a more lamentable failure be put on exhibition than the one now at its head? He is to all intent and purpose worse than the late deposed Dr. Chancellor, of the white schools, and he was the limit. This unsophisticated youth came to Washington with more glittering college medals on his breast than worn by General Miles for bravery on the battlefield; and when called upon to display judgment and knowledge in the management of a large and sacred trust proved he was unequal to the task. Now, having given a fair and impartial trial to him, why not place a sure enough man or woman in charge? Woman is a natural born teacher, and it is through and by her at home and in the school that our children are taught the beautiful life laid down by Jesus of Nazareth. The overwhelming majority of females as teachers and pupils in our schools justifies the placing a competent man or woman at their head, one whose college training has not sapped the life from the tree of knowledge. Unless a radical change is made in the head of the colored schools they will die of dry rot. MAJOR SYLVESTER RIGHT. The recommendation that Major Sylvester made to the Commissioners to prevent the pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight from being exhibited in this city was right and proper. Existing conditions demonstrate the philosophy of the Major's recommendation. It is evident that the exhibition of these pictures excites the animal passion of ruffians, as is fully seen by the many assaults that are being made upon innocent and respectable colored citizens. Just last Monday evening Lawyer Taylor, a well-known member of the local bar, was brutally assaulted by white ruffians because he refused to discuss the Johnson-Jeffries fight with one of the number. Across the Aqueduct bridge another respectable colored citizen was assaulted. Some one would say that the police department is not doing its duty. Major Sylvester has begged Congress to give him a larger police force. If several Congressmen were assaulted, perhaps they would be convinced that our chief of police knows what he is talking about. There should be a national law passed by Congress to prohibit prize fighting in the United States. HOWARD THEATER This theater will be open August 22 in vaudeville. Beyond all doubt it is the finest theater in the city. There is no theater to equal it. Mr. W. H. Smith, of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, Ill., will be the manager. Mr. Smith is a man of great executive ability. It is up to the people whether they will support a first-class theater. The Bee believes that the people of Washington will support a first-class theater. It is a structure that will be an ornament to the Capital City. Go and see it at the corner of 7th and Tea streets northwest. The Bee will contain full particulars next week. WATCH THE MOVEMENT. Some people may say that the movement of the National Political League against the President and the Republican party may not to amount to anything. The Bee is of a different opinion. There is a feeling of unrest among the colored men in this country. Many of them have come to the conclusion that it makes no difference whether they are drowned at sea or burned up while on the ship. It would be wise for those who are close to the administration to tell a true story and advise the President of the unrest among colored voters. The Democratic party is offering no inducements, but this doesn't seem to deter the colored voter in the least. The Bee would advise the friends of the administration to watch this movement. HOWARD THEATER. Our citizens will have a theater of their own. They will be able to go to a first-class theater and see a first-class show without being "Jim Crowed." This theater will be managed entirely by our people. The manager is from Chicago, Ill., and a man of wide experience in theatrical lines. The Howard Theater is an up-to-date institution, and the people will no doubt appreciate it by patronizing it. It will open August 22 with a first-class vaudeville. The opening night will be a great event. Masonic Notes. The Masonic fraternity was visited twice in the past two weeks by death. Bro. Richard Jones, who was buried from Zion Wesley Church last Sunday, was in charge of the Most Worshipful Gr. Lodge, Bro. J. T. Tasco, acting Gr. Master, inasmuch as the Gr. Master, N. E. Wetherless, was in New York. The religious services were in charge of Rev. Ray. The deceased, Bro. Jones, was a member of Widow Son's Lodge, No. 7; also Past Gr. Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge. He was the father of Hon. Lady Ella Jones, of Electa Chapter, O. E. S. The second death was that of Bro. Robert Folley, who died on Tuesday. The religious services were held at his late residence; 2005 Eleventh street, at 7:30 P. M. on Saturday, by Rev. R. K. Harris, assisted by Bro. W. H. Severson. After ceremonies by Widow Son's Lodge, No. 7, of which he was a member, his wife accompanied the remains at 11 P. M., to Sterling, Ky. Bro. Folley was born in Owensville, Ky., and was appointed to a position in the Treasury Department in 1900, which he kept until death. His remains were buried Monday. A. A. S. Rite. This jurisdiction was filled with sadness on Sunday when the news came announcing the death of Rt. Worshipful Bro. E. W. Lampton, who died in Petuskegee, Miss., on Saturday. Bro. Lampton was Gr. M. of the State of Mississippi, and a member of the Supreme Council, 33 A. A. S. Rite. He was well, known in this city, having served a number of years as financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, until he became bishop about three years ago. He has been Gr. M. of the Mississippi State several years. Robert Folev. Funeral services over the remains of Robt Foley, a native of Kentucky, and an old employee of the Treasury Department, were held last Saturday evening at 7 o'clock at his late residence, 2005 Eleventh street Northwest. Deceased at the time of his death was an active member of the Israel C. M. E. Church, also an officer of the "Silver Leaf Club," an auxiliary to the church, and a past junior deacon of Widow's Son Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons. The pastor of Israel Church, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Iverson, conducted the religious portion of the service. Resolutions of sympathy and regret were read by the secretary of the Silver Leaf Club. Eulogistic remarks were made by Mr. McGovern, of Kentucky, a contemporary of the deceased. The officers of Widow's Son Lodge, assisted by the lodge, performed the Masonic service set apart for the dead. The remains were sent to Kentucky for interment. Deceased is survived by a widow.

Jack Ryan, Jr. The remains of this young man, son of one of our most prominent and successful business men of this city, who died after a very short illness, were interred in Harmony Cemetery last Monday. His short illness and subsequent death greatly shocked his family and a host of friends, who did not. realize his condition, nor anticipate his sudden death. It is said that he contracted a heavy cold, causing spinal and other physical complications, which could not be overcome by medical science. Deceased was but twenty-one years of age, and is said to have been one of the most gentle and promising young men of this day and generation. The funeral service was held at his residence, 1717 15th street Northwest. Miss Nettie Murray, soloist of St. Luke's P. E. Church, sang a very beautiful and appropriate selection over the remains. Rev. Dr. Thos. J. Brown, rector of the parish, conducted the funeral services. Baked Fish. Clean, wash and dry the fish and sprinkle the inside with salt. Cut gashes in the side two inches apart and the tile in letter S shape. Rub with salt, pepper and melted butter and put a piece of salt pork in each gash in the side. Put in oven to bake and baste often. Add following dressing: Take cupful of cracker crumbs, two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one saltspoon salt, one of pepper, one tablespoonful of chopped pickle, one tablespoonful parsley and one tablespoonful of onion juice. Add hot water to molten. Hot Chicken Salad One, tablespoonful of butter, melt, add one tablespoonful of flour mixed with a pinch of salt, a little pepper, cayenne, and if liked celery salt, or for a change a few drops of onion juice. Use about a cup of milk to make a cream. Stir in a beaten egg, then carefully a cup of chopped chicken meat. Don't stir much after adding the meat. Veal is good instead of chicken, and lamb can be used, but cut it into little dice instead of chopping it. Serve on toast or with fried potatoes. To Remove Grease from Silk. Woolens, paper, floors, etc., take French chalk, grate thickly over the spot, cover with brown paper, set on it a hot flat iron and let it remain until cool; repeat if necessary. The iron must not be so hot as to burn the paper or cloth. Common chalk may be used, but of course it is not so good. AS THEY DO IT IN ENGLAND Family Inherited Postmastership, Though the Department Offices Didn't Know It. Forty years before, as quite a boy, Jones had left a little town in Kent. Now, on the first long vacation he ever had had since, he was visiting his childhood scenes. He had remembered that the postmaster's name was Pengelley, and he had remembered, too, that he was a kindly old man. There wasn't the slightest probability, he thought, that the postmaster was still alive, but his acquaintance with the former incumbent might smooth things a little with the new one, so that the whereabouts of people to whom he had been directed would be made known. "What's become of Mr. Pengelley?" he asked, interrupting for a moment his majesty's letter assorter. "I am Mr. Pengelley." "Perhaps you're his son." "Yes, my father's name was Pengelley, too," drawled the Englishman. "I mean the postmaster." "So do I." "Was your father postmaster 40 years ago?" "My word, no! That was my grandfather. You see, our names are all alike, and the post-office department doesn't know but that the first one is alive. We inherit this job, don't you know. And my wife's just presented me with a son. There was no haggling over his name." Music, Birds and Snakes Exceptional love of music would redound to the credit of any other living creature as indicative of refined taste, but in the maligned snake even this artistic attribute is a mark of derogation. Our own Quakers, for example, take up and indorse the diatribe of Epiphanius against the flute-players. "Observe the figure that the player makes in blowing. Does he not bend himself up and down to the right hand and the left, like unto the serpent? These forms hath the Devil used to manifest his—blasphemy against things leavens, to destroy things upon earth, to encompass the world, capturing right and left such as lend an ear to his reductions." And so on. But not a word do we hear in condemnation of the unregenerate birds that carol headlessly even while the minister is painting the horrors of an unmenionable place—North American Review: Cheering Her Up. Islington, which is no longer rural, was once so esteemed by medical men that they sent their patients there after severe illness. Many also went there in the last stages in the forlorn hope that the invigorating air might restore them to health. A story related by Dr. Abernathy turns on the latter class of visitors. One of his patients engaged some rooms in Islington, and casually remarked to the landlady that the banisters on the staircase wer very much broken "Lor bless you, mam," said the land lady, "it's no use to mend them, for they always get broken when the undertaker's men bring the coffins downwards"—London Chronicle. GREAT AVENUE SAFE 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 Elysées, 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 munipalpal 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 loses his pursetrings without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 12 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champs 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 craters Garden of the Tuillerles, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tareets, 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 Cours 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 bonhomme caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the bables. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the "lunges" 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 Champa Elysees is the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoloon L, Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander I and Duc de Berril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bois de Boulogne traverse the Avenue des Champa Elysees first. Beyond the Arc the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famous woods. HIS MOTHER'S CHUM Portugal Boy King Spends Much Time with Parent. Before Tragic Events That Raised Him to Throne He Was Educated for the Sea—WILL Visit England in NEXT Future. Lisbon—An active, good humored, very vital young man is the impression given by Dom Manuel, the 19-year-old king of Portugal, who is expected to visit the United Kingdom in November. The comprehensive and stranuous education considered necessary for his exalted position has not dulled the ready wit which he has inherited from Queen Amelia, and he also shares her open air tastes, spending a good part of his leisure in tennis, kencing and riding. He has, moreover, artistic accomplishments, being both a musician and a painter. Before the tragic events that brought him to the throne, he was being educated as a sailor, and threw himself eagerly into the study of modern science and mathematics and the technicalities of naval construction. Two years ago, therefore, his outlook on life was rather the sailor's than the king's, and a strenuous course of study was mapped out for him. It included, according to a writer in the Xuan, philosophy, political science and the physical sciences. He arose at seven every morning and studied Plato and Greek philosophy for an hour before he wanted to breakfast in his mother's apartments. The morning from ten to twelve o'clock was devoted to astronomy, inorganic chemistry and general science and the afternoon from one to four to history and jurisprudence. In the evenings he related into music and less serious literature, retiring to bed at nine. This scheme of study was pursued for months with scarcely any interruption. He has displayed an unusual aptitude for mathematics, and speaks JOHN B. HARRIS King of Portugal. French, Spanish and Italian fluently. The thesis he submitted for his doctor's degree at the university displayed a very creditable knowledge of the history of Portuguese literature. On account of the dangers that hedge his throne, his education was conducted in the palace, and its scheme was not generally understood, and consequently misrepresented. It was apprehended that he was being trained as a student and reuse rather than as a king. Not long ago, therefore, he visited the University of Colmbra and was received in state by the professors and uproariously by the students. The latter removed the horses from his carriage at the station and dragged him through the streets with enthusiastic cheering until, carried away by their excitement, he alighted and joined them on foot. In the degree hall he conversed with the rector in Latin, showed such an extensive knowledge of contemporary science, and criticised a dissertation on ethical philosophy with an satuteness that quickly brought the critics of his education to confusion. One of the most pleasing features of his life is the close relationship between him and his tragically widowed mother, Queen Amelia. In his childhood he used to rise at six every morning and read poetry and art criticisms to her while she painted till breakfast time. During the weeks he lay ill after the assassination of his father and brother, she nursed him assiduously, performing all that he needed done for him with her own hands. The habit of breakfasting together is still kept up, and the young king spends his evenings in her company. The following anecdote shows the closeness of the friendship between them, and also the graceful repartee in which he excels. When during his training for the navy he was anxious to return to Lisbon to continue his studies, Queen Amelia asked him, somewhat piqued, why he was so eager to leave her. "Because if I do not leave you at once, I shall be unable to leave you at all," he quoted, prettily, from one of her favorite poets. He is quite a sportsman, and is very fond of dogs. A Danish boarhound, Box, and a terrier, Tagus, are his principal pets. Go ahead and do the best you can and don't worry about the consequences.

This has been a rather strenuous week all around down here. First of all, we have been kept on the go from morning until twilight-in our efforts to keep tab on the aviators, who have been performing all sorts of interesting things on the beach front. These exhibitions have been a wonderfully interesting study to many of the visitors who have never before even seen an airship, much less witness one flying through the air and out over the sea. The meet was a grand success beyond a doubt and will be talked about in the interior cities and towns long after the resort people have forgotten it. We also had a touch of tropical weather here during the week. To be sure there was some breeze—there always is, but the Boardwalk was unusually warm during the morning hours of several days, and kept many from indulging in their morning promenade. Those who took to the surf, however, felt none of the sun's hot rays. Theirs was real pleasure indeed, and how they did revel in the breakers! The latter were quite vigorous and invigorating, following as they did an electric storm. But no matter how hot the sun may be the delightful breeze-causes one to forget the heat. It is this breeze which attracts many from the heated cities who find great relief after days spent in discomfort. There is something pathetic, yet laughable, in the effect a storm here has upon the visitors. When the heavenly pyrotechnics bombard the city, the vivid flashes of lightning and heavy roar of thunder send a thrill through them and cause the more timid ones to think of the loved ones at home. In fact, it gives them a much needed opportunity to think of home and those left behind in a way other than a souvenir post card hurriedly dispatched, when after it has been written and posted the mind turns to the gaites of the resort. There have been few storms here this summer, none of such violence as seemed to travel this way in years gone by, much to the relief of the visitors who are alone here in a strange and unsympathetic place. While the throng does not fail to take advantage of the many forms of amusement offered here, yet the sole ambition of many now is to enjoy the surf and the Boardwalk, the two biggest attractions of the resort. A proposal is now on foot to establish a big municipal swimming school with the entire ocean front as the pool for teaching all bathers who may take advantage of the offer, and the sturdy life-guards as the expert teachers. The planning of the project and calculation on the expense are now being considered and it is hoped and expected that it will be carried forward and a trial made of the proposition before the Summer is over. Thousands of applications are pouring in for the National Encampment of the G. A. R. late in September, and the veterans are preparing to get Federal aid in the form of tents for housing the great crowd who will be here with the coming of the aged heroes. Miss Ethel Kennedy has reserved accommodations at the Grinnage House for early in August, at which time her sister, Miss Alfreda, will be here as a guest of the Washington Bee.

POSED As THE QUEEN Evelyn May Converse, Playing Model, Met Artist, Who Kept Her Arn rayed In Royal Finery Until Picture Was Finished. New York.—When the loyal and hon est Britishers pay homage of heart to the pictured Alexandra at the corona- tlon—from the brush of Edwin R. Ab- bey, R. A—tit-is only to their queen's head and face. The rounded arms, the well polsed neck, the stately, patri- cian carriage of the figure are anoth- era—the secret is out now. Miss ‘Evelyn Converse, an American girl from Wisconsin at that, posed as Queen Alexandra for Mr, Abbey's great painting, “The Coronation of Edward VI.” ‘Miss Converse hasn't sat on the royal throne, but she bas worn the coronation robes, She has never been presented at court, but she has come and gone at Buckingham palace as if born to the purple. She was never proclaimed ‘queen in Weatmin- ster, but there she is in the picture. The king himeelf ordered the paint ing to be hung on the walls of Buck. Ingham palace. He posed; the queer posed; all the important personages who were nearest to thelr majesties on that august occasion faced Mr. Abbey for their portions of the pic ture. But fortwo years the great work was held up because there was no suitable model in England. “For two years I've waited fo you," said Mr. Abbey when hi met Miss Converse. He knew h had found the miodol he wanted—th: rest was only a matter of course. Whi that could do it would refuse to post for her majesty, consort of Edwar< VIL, and wear her robes and jewels’ Strangely enough, Miss Convers tsn’t a professional model at all. Sh comes from Eau Claire, Wis., wher her father, Henry Edward Converse ts s successful uptodate Americar a Om aS on caw Bae AS +t ae oe eS io .o business man. He went there from New ‘York and took a hand in mining and Umber and made good. There Is sturdy New England stock in Miss Converse, too—on her family tree Is the name of Oliver Wendell Holmes. It all happened just because Miss Converse fell In love and played model for her fiance, a painter prince—Ema- toum Bey, son of a Rusaian nobleman and a French countess, who adopted Egypt as their country, where Eifla- toum Pasha is one of its foremost men. When she was 16 Miss Converse left Eau Claire and went abroad with some cousins to study. She stayed in Paris several years, studying Brench ‘and music, and hoping that perhaps some day she might go into grand opera. Then she went to England, and at Cambridge she met Effiatoum Bey, who had been to the ‘varsity there and rowed In one of the crews. He had taken up painting—and he tell in love with Miss Converse, They became engaged And what could be prettier on canvas than the Gancee’s shell pink skin and her dusky black halr and her eyes that are some- times black and sometimes blue and sometimes gray? And those arms, go exquisitely modeled! Well, George Story, the artist, saw the throat and arms and shoulders at a reception at the American em. basay. “Just one sitting,” he begged of the beautiful American girl, and when she told her flance of this he sald: “It’s a very great honor from such a painter —by all means pose for him.” They got along famously, and one day Mr. Story ventured to suggest that Mr. Abbey might want her for some of his next pictures. Miss Con. | verso laughed merrily—the {dea that such an artist, one of the two Ameri. ees in the Royal Academy, should want to paint her! ; “Why, there are plenty of other girls who will do quite as well,” she went on, protesting. And now we get to the point where the pretty American girl was asked’ tc wear Queen Alexandra’s coronation robes. Miss Converse called on Mr Abbey. As she tells it: “He smiled and just looked at me hard, hard, for ‘about a minute. Then he asked me if I would mind taking off my glove, that he might see my hand. I sald, ‘Yes, I'll do it,’ and then—why, he just sald that if my arms were like that he'd most cer. tainly want me for a very !mportant picture he was painting. “And that very day I put on Queea | Alexandra's robes and he began ts paint me in the picture.” Red Makes You- Angry, Blue Is’ Soothing. Parle Medical Experts Cliitw*o Have Found a Cure for Divorce #2 Ro | sult of Experiments with Colors. _ Paris,—Medical experts of the French capital have found the latest cure for divorce, It is a result of ex- periments in colors made by eminent medical men, who declare that red wall papor, red. clothes and red glass windows make persons angry. Blue, on the other hand, is soothing to the nerves of excited and “touchy” hus bands and wives. A Paris husband who had been hav- ing trouble with bis wife consulted one of these experts as a last chanc* before seeing a lawyer. The doctor visited the man’s office and saw o bril- Mant crimson carpet on‘the floor. A large oll painting, the prevailing tone of which was red, hung on the wall. At the home he found ‘red wall pa- per, red curtains and red furniture. “Red,” said the doctor, “excites your temper and your wife's too. Try some other color. Put blue wail paper ‘In the house and throw away every rad piece of furniture you have.” The husband obeyed the doctor's orders and since then there has been! no trouble in that family, You remember the old crusade over! bine spectacles? Everybody wore them once. They were thought to hold a wonderful power to ease pain, toothache and other troubles. The principle was the same that ts being used in Paris now, but the doc- tors of 30 years ago hei not quite solved the secret of the effect of blue Ught on the human brain. . They were going it blindly—fust Uke the farmer who put green goggles on bis cow and fed her shavings, But now science has frouna the real reason for the effect of red and blue on people's overworked minds. ‘There's a quality {a the red-and blue rays that doctors call an actinic quality. = When you look at anything bright red, the red rays of light quicker than the mind can concelyp, travel to the - a es, sent ces, ty a! & sarccrus ge PEO NE <— S How Colors Affect the Eye. sight cells of your brain, tingling the hairlike nerves on their way there.” ‘When you look at anything blue the same thing happens, only the nerve wire to your brain Is a different nerve wire, for different colors tingle dif- ferent nervo wire lines, just Ike dif- ferent telephones signal “central” over different wires. The red nerve Mnes pass through a part of the brain that contafus what doctors call the cells of hate! ‘The blue nerve lines go a certain ‘distance on the red party nerve Ine, and then switch onto the sight cells | through a part of the brain that con- tains the cells of love! So with this in mind you can see the point made by the French doctor who says he can stop divorces, cure family jars, and make happy homer by changing red furniture and wall pe per to blue. For nearly 50 years the men of science have known something about the colors’ effect on the brain of man. The love cells are just below the hate cells, and as far back as 30 years ago Prof. Fowler, the eminent reader of men’s heads, called the place ov the head where the love cells are the} bump of Amativeness, Above this bump of amativeness 1s) the bump of Hate, which ought to be less prominent on your head than the| other bump. Prof, Frederick Starr, a present-day] student of the heads of Indians and other strange peoples, found that the bump of hate was larger on an In dian‘s skull than on a white man's. He belleves that is why an Indian never forgets a grudge. The possibilities of treatment off family jars with colored rays are al most without lmit, they say, ‘Wives, especially, will be interested in the new discovery. Lots of even- {ngs a man will come home and scold his wife, scold the nice supper she has eooked for him and find fault with er erything. Perhaps it’s a red carpet in the man’s office, or a red curtain at home, or red wall paper, or a red-headed mafd In the kitchen! Hereafter, inatead of “painting the town red,” a man will win honor if he painta it blue. The way to a man’s heart after all may be through a@ blue glass window, or a blue silk dress, rather than through his stom- ach. In this marvelous discovery sclence has again ehown one of her most won- derful truths—that it is ‘he little things that cause trouble in the world. “ ‘The Country's Progression. ‘The first post route in the United States was established in 1672.
