VOL.XXXI NO9 GRAND MAS- TER ASBURY VIRGINIA ODD FELLOWS Support J. C. Asbury for Grand Master—Point with Pride to Splendid Record and Fitness—Most Powerful Fraternal Order in America—Only 25 in 2,000,000 Can Reach Top. Since its introduction into this country, March 4, 1843, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has steadily grown in numbers, wealth and influence until it has become by far the largest fraternal organization in America. The absorbing topic of conversation among at least two millions of people to-day is "Who is to be the next Grand Master of this powerful institution?" King David Lodge, No. 1412, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of Norfolk, Va., on February 3, 1910, adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That this Lodge hereby indorses and presents to the Order of America, M. V. P., J. C. Asbury as a suitable brother to be elected to the exalted position of Grand Master of the Order at the B. M. C., to be held in Baltimore, Md., next September. Brother Asbury has been a faithful member of this Lodge for more than 25 years and performed with punctuality and humility every duty assigned him during that time, filling all the stations in the Lodge cheerfully and thoroughly. He has been no respecter of persons, but served the least as well as the greatest in a brotherly spirit. As a citizen he leads an exemplary life, and for four years held the most exalted position ever occupied by a colored man in Virginia—Commonwealth's Attorney for Norfolk County. This Lodge has a pardonable pride in his efficient service as editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal for the past 13 years. Since that date Past Patriarchy, No. 33; P. G. M. Council, No. 17; Brotherly Love Lodge, No. 1303; Star of the East Lodge, No. 1820; Norfolk Lodge, No. 3253, and Huntsville Lodge, No. 3305; District Grand Master John W. Barnes and almost the entire brotherhood in Virginia have indorsed Mr. Asbury for Grand Master and announced their intention to support him at Baltimore next September with the largest delegation from that State that ever attended a general meeting of the Order. Offers of support have been pouring in upon Mr. Asbury from many delegates from all sections of the country, and his friends believe that he will be the choice of the Fraternity for the exalted position with which his name has been connected. Mr. Asbury was elected editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal in January, 1897, and removed to Philadelphia from Norfolk, Va., the latter part of that month. He has edited the offi- [Name] sical organ of the Order with ability and fairness. He has been in no quarrels with his editorial brethren and has the good-will and esteem of them all. His administration of the business affairs of his office has been a success. He has paid his own salary and all expenses of the printing-plant out of his earnings. The Order invested $4,500 in machinery, etc., and to this has been added from the earnings of the printing-plant $5,500 in type, metal, folding and linotype machines. And all this with the Lodges and Households owing the department $0,000 for subscriptions. On coming to Philadelphia, Mr. Asbury at once became an active and leading figure in religious, fraternal and business life. He is chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Union Baptist Church, the church having the largest membership of that denomination in Philadelphia; was for nine years superintendent of the Sunday school, and is a Director of the Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses. He is a director of the Star Savings Bank, president of the Keystone Aid Society, one of the leading sick, accident and death benefit societies in America; the president and organizer of the Eden Cemetery Company, which owns and conducts what is believed to be the most beautiful and best-kept cemetery for colored people in the United States. Mr. Asbury is active in many other fraternal and benevolent organizations. He has is Philadelphia, as in Virginia, interested himself in all movements for the advancement of the race. His long and active career in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, his large experience in pub- Tompkins' Dining Hall, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Tompkins Hall, Tuskegee, Ala. Look at this beautiful dining-hall at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. lic affairs, and his well-known poise and conservatism, fit him admirably for the duties of the office of Grand Master. What accentuates his fitness at this time, when there exists the aftermath of considerable strife in the Order, is the well-known fact that in all his career, in political, business and fraternal life, he has never been known to discriminate against those who have opposed him, or use his official position to pursue or oppress those who have been his enemies. He believes that peace should accompany victory. Mr. E. H. Morris, the well-known attorney, of Chicago, and Rev. E. P. Jones, District Grand Master of the Order in Mississippi, are also candidates for the Grand Mastership. Mr. Morris has been Grand Director, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Master, Delegate to England, and Attorney for the Order, and there is a widespread feeling among the membership that he should not come back. According to the laws of the Order, no man can serve as Grand Master more than four successive years, or two terms. It is a custom to give each Grand Master two terms of two years each, if he conducts himself well. Mr. Morris has had his four years. When it is considered that, according to custom, but 25 men can become Grand Master in 100 years, and further, that we have a membership upwards of 500,000; that the membership repeats itself once in every 25 years, making in a hundred years four times 500,000, or 2,000,000, it would appear that only 25 men out of 2,000,000 can reasonably expect to reach the Grand Mastership. This being the case, it is believed by many that to allow one man to repeat would be not only unjust, but a reflection upon the thousands of able men in the Order. It is the consensus of opinion that only as a result of a unanimous summons would a man be justified in becoming a candidate after having served four years. National Negro Business League. New York, July 25.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of President Booker T. Washington to speak at the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League, to be held in New York City at the Palm Garden, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 17, 18 and 19. Col. Roosevelt's address should easily prove one of the chief attractions of this coming meeting. In addition to Col. Roosevelt himself, addresses will be made by some of the most successful negro business men and women throughout the country. The present program, as it is being formulated, promises to be as interesting as any of the previous programs of this valued organization. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post; Mayor William J. Gaynor, Borough President McAneny, and a number of responsible New York business men will also be present and speak. The social features being arranged by the New York Negro Business League are unusually attractive. Delegates intending to be present are urged to send early notice of such intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, chairman, Reception Committee, 213 West 53d street, New York City, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, chairman, Committee of Arrangements, 247 West 46th street, New York City. 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. All applications for admission must be made by September 15, 1010. For further information address the President, National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C. OPPOSED TO McKINLY ORGANIZING AGAINST Mc- KINLAY. The President May Not Appoint Him. Opposition Growing. To the regret of the friends of Whitfield McKinlay there is an underfight being made against him. It is reported that President Taft may not appoint him, on account of the growing opposition to him. President Taft, it is said, has received a set of charges. Just how much truth there is in this, The Bee is not advised. The Bee does know, however, that at least 30 colored men have written letters against him, and charges will be preferred to the President against him. Just what weight they will have on the President, developments can only tell. On the other hand, the friends of McKinlay are working to convince the President that he is the right man to appoint. Welcome Address Delivered by Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department, to the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Tuesday, July 26. Mr. Chairman and Members of the Eleventh Annual Convention of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World: I have been asked to welcome you Elks to Washington. To my mind, this is an honored, but superfluous task. Superfluous for the reason that of all fraternal, social or benevolent organizations your Order is the one that does not need to be extended a welcome. Elks are always welcome, because they bring with them the sunshine of good cheer, and radiate wherever they enter the feeling of reciprocal joy. And when they depart they leave behind a deep sense of gratitude, on the part of all citizens, for their coming. Your Order, whose mission in life is to comfort the grief-strecken with tangible evidences of real, substantial comforts; your Order, whose mission in life is to provide for and protect your needy brothers and their families, and to inoculate each other, while in life, with the healthy virus of good cheer and brotherly feeling, will find a spontaneous and lasting welcome here in Washington Were it within my province, I would welcome you to everything of honor and amusement in this, our and your city. But a trifle matter of race predjudice, peculiar and indigenous to this city, restricts that welcome to the hospitality of broad-minded men and brothers, and to that which is the property of the government, you and your forebears have helped to provide and maintain, and that government which some of you and some of your forebears, four times in its history, bared your breasts and offered your lives to protect. However, the colored people of this city, the most hospitable, generous and intelligent to be found anywhere in civilization, will see to it that you want for nothing. They will see to it that when you leave the city you will be richer in experience, enjoyment and wisdom than when you came. And, if you insist on hospitality being extended to the utmost lim- it, they will see to it that you are relieved of your cash, if you find it too burdensome to carry around beneath a Washington summer's sun. The local lodges here, composed of some of the best and most praiseworthy of men, have spared no pains to make your coming a delightful anticipation, and your stay a pleasant realization. It is the wish of everyone that your deliberations be marked by the teachings of brotherly kindness which your Order so well exemplifies, and that your pleasures be not marred by a single unpleasant incident. On behalf of the local lodges, and the good, appreciative citizens of this city, I welcome you into our midst and invite you to remain as long as you desire, and to return whenever the spirit moves you. I might, appropriately, add that the Elks, this benevolent and protective Order to whom we extend a hearty welcome today, is one bearing the gift of peace and good-will. No honors of war to your Order belong; Your plain stem of life never flowered into song; But the fountains you've opened still gush by the way. way. And the world for your coming is better to day. Welcome, welcome, a thrice welcome for you to this city. DR. SHEPARD'S GREAT WORK Dr. DuBois Speaks - The Great Educator Speaks at DuBram Durham, N. C., July 26.—W. E. B. DuBois, Director of Sociological Research, looking into the progress of the American negro, we the central figure in the lakeck program of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqa here. Dr. DuBois gave three lectures, the first on "The history of education," and the other two on "The history of the negro." His first lecture on "The history of the negro" dealt with the record on negroes in Egypt and in central and northern Africa, which brought his narrative to the beginning of the African slave trade. In his second address, Dr. DuBois stated that the negroes of to-day should consider it a privilege to help in the solution of the negro problem as one of the world's greatest movements, and not as having to do with something unpleasant. He called attention to the fact that the majority of the people of the world were colored, and that a belief in humanity must necessarily be a belief in the colored man. In the course of his remarks, Dr. DuBois said: "Back of slavery and the slave trade lay, of course, several excuses. The first excuse was that slavery gave an excuse for the conversion of the heathen. But what was to be done, when the converted slaves wanted to enter the Christian church? The old English law said that no Christian could be held a slave. That took the excuse for slavery away, but another was soon found. "Just as soon as one evil goes on unattended to, with the hope that it will settle itself, another one will rise up in its place. Problems like slavery, that were 400 years in the making, do not settle themselves. There came the attempt to establish a feudal system with black and white serfs at the bottom. The rise of the cotton industry spoiled that and placed slavery on an economic basis, and consequently beyond the pale of criticism. "Then came certain hindrances. The history of the United States from the Missouri compromise to the civil war is the attempt of the slave States to get more land for the cultivation of cotton and the extension of slavery. They were up against a proposition of more land. They ran against the moral conscience of the Nation; slave property became unsafe, because of the underground railway and this moral sense, for slaves could run away to the Northern States and Canada. Finally slavery was overthrown. "Reconstruction with its subsequent criticism of the negro resulted. I fear that too often, negroes themselves yield to the criticism that is passed upon the giving of the ballot to them directly after the civil war. It was absolutely necessary. It was not given to the ex-slaves because they thought they could use it properly; not be- Tuskeguee's New Dining Hall. The above picture is of the dining hall known as Tompkins Hall, recently erected at Tuskeguee Institute in memory of the late Charles E. Tompkins, of Southport, Conn. It is the largest and most imposing building upon the Institute grounds. It contains a dining-room for teachers, with a seating capacity for 180 persons; a dining hall for students, with a seating capacity of 2,000, and an assembly room large enough to seat 2,500 persons. The kitchens and bakery are also located in the building, and provision has been made for the installation at an early date of a complete refrigerating plant. The building is 225 feet long by 168 feet wide. It occupies about half an acre of ground. Its cost, in all particulars, has not been far from $175,000. cause it was thought they were qualified for its best and highest use, but I submit that the best way to train a man to use the ballot is to let him use it. The ballot was the only way to guarantee to the negro his freedom. The 14th and 15th amendments were absolutely necessary to guarantee the enforcement of the 13th. Too many attempts were made directly after emancipation to again subject the negroes to slavery in everything except the name. "Moreover, the record of the negroes in Southern Legislatures was not so bad. True, they did some silly things, but they gave to the South some things that still remain. The first system of free public schools was given by this so-called carpet-bag rule, with large negro majorities in the Legislatures. They gave the South its first democratic government by opening the ballot to the negroes and the poor whites. Hitherto the government in most of the Southern States was one of the aristocracy. "To be sure, much stealing was done in the Legislatures under negro control. Some is done now. At that time stealing was going on all over the country, from St. Louis to Washington. One clique in Congress stole fifty millions in one deal, which bemirched even a Vice President and a Cabinet Secretary. The South Carolina government was especially extravagant and did some silly things. The attempt was made to buy up a large tract of land and parcel it out to a large number of people. The bill did pass. In the end the result was that the State had some mighty poor land, and some Southern people had a lot of money. "Negro government was overthrown in a manner with which you are perfectly familiar. In overthrowing this rule, the step was taken, not only to get rid of the bad negroes in office, but all negroes. That is the one fault of disfranchisement. It hinders the development of the whites and keeps the State under the control of a few who are free to loot the public if they desire. It tells the black man he has got to have extra advantages, and to the white man that they are not necessary. "It seems to me that the negro ought to get very busy trying to solve all these problems. There are entirely too many people of darker hue in the world for the problem of different races living together in peace and harmony to go unsolved. We people here in America have a splendid chance to anticipate that world-wide solution that is bound to come." "It is unfair to ourselves not to protest when we feel ourselves being treated unjustly. It is unfair to our white neighbors. Nothing is doing the South more harm than to have a class of entirely unprotected citizens, a people who can be stepped on at will, a people who can be treated any way, who can be literally walked over without the right of redress; for, after all, the greatest harm is going to be done to the man who does the walking over." Other prominent men have lectured during the week. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, of Newark, N. J., concluded his series of addresses. Hon. N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. C., prominent Sunday school worker, delivered two addresses on Sunday school methods, followed by George W. Little, of Washington, D. C., the famous crayon artist. Rev. W. I. Ford, of Jamestown, N. Y., began a series of PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Paragraphic News Miss Mae Irwin, of Chicago, has been appointed Assistant Superintendent of Nurses at Freedman's Hospital as result of a civil service examination.

Mrs. Martha Generals, an aged colored woman, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., has been granted a bronze medal and a pension of $20 a month by the Carnegie Hero Commission for saving the life of a four-year-old child. During the year of 1909, there were 70 lynchings, 11 whites and 54 colored. This is said to be the highest record since 1904. The Haym Solomon National Monument Association has been organized in San Francisco, the purpose of which is to build a monument in this city to the financier who contributed $600,000 to the Colonists' Treasury during the Revolution. Baltimore is to have one of the largest manufacturing firms in the South. All of the operatives will be colored. It will commence very soon. Mr. C. S. L. Baker, of Chicago, colored, who invented the Friction Heater, will, no doubt, accumulate a fortune. The Friction Heater heats railroad and street cars, saving the companies $4.20 per day. Miss Caroline Hazard, for eleven years president of Wellesley College, and one of the best known women educators in the country, has resigned. The resignation is due to poor health. Rumor has it that Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, is being considered for the presidency of Western University, located at Quindaro, Kan. There is quite a stir in Elizabeth, N. J., over the appointment of Miss Rachel Falson, a colored graduate, to teach school in the residential section of the city, attended exclusively almost by white children. It is said Jason Brown, son of John Brown, the hero of Harpers Ferry, is living the life of a hermit in Ohio, devoting his time to perfecting a flying machine which he has invented. Mr. Benjamin F.

In the last year 19 cities in the South, through their Chambers of Commerce, or through some organizations of the merchants or business men, have taken practical steps to induce farmers to build telephone lines and connect with their towns. A famous painting by Jean Francis Millet, valued at $10,000, "The Shepherd and Flock," has been stolen from the Art Museum in San Francisco. Miss Irene Payne, of Baltimore, who has spent two pleasant weeks with Bishop and Mrs. J. W. Smith and Miss Nellie E. Johnson, has returned home. Bishop and Mrs. J. W. Smith and Miss Nellie E.

Nearly ten years ago a bank, financed and officered by colored men, in Washington failed. It failed just like a thousand white banks have failed, and do fail, in this twentieth century. With the woeful lack of bank experience on the part of its promoters and officers, it is a marvel that it stood as long as it did. The life of this bank, however, thou it failed, constitutes a tribute to the ability of Negroes rather than a reflection upon their ability. This bank was the pioneer financial institution of the race. Since its failure, profiting by that failure, colored men in different parts of the country have established thirty-odd banks, and are maintaining them in a flourishing condition. But the nearly ten years have passed since that bank went down in the crash of financial ruin, there are colored men here today who every little while, when they wish to traduce some one, dig down into the grave of the past and resurrect this old ghost—the Capitol Savings Bank. Why not let it remain buried? Why not let the memory of it become cankered over with forgetfulness? Why roam in the graveyard of the past when we have the beautiful park of future to stroll in? But there are but three classes of men who resurrect this spectre to frighten, intimidate, blackmail and defeat hopeful men. They are: First, the man who never had one penny on deposit in that bank, and never would have had had the bank flourished until now with one million of surplus to its credit. Second, the man who was indebted to that bank for borrowed money, which he has never paid back nor has made any effort to repay. Third, the man who blew into Washington just about the time, or immediately at the time the bank failed, and who knows nothing of it except from the malicious gossip of the two first named. The men who actually lost money in that failure, instead of dealing forever in the antiquary past, have been dealing in the future. They have forgot the past in their effort to accomplish something in the future. But the man who never had a penny on deposit in the bank, and the man who is yet today a debtor to the bank, and the man who blew in from some sequestered town across the Potomac about the time it failed—these are the nondescripts who ever and anon descend to the grave of the past, and, with diabolical glee, drag forth the crumbling bones of the Capitol Savings Bank, and, winding them in a ghostly shroud, go forth to frighten, intimidate, blackmail, and defeat men who succeed in spite of them. But these three classes of men, every time they descend into the grave of the past for malicious purposes, are digging their own graves. People are sick and tired of the past. The future!—that's the slogan now. THE MAN WITH A GROUCH. Of all men to avoid, the man with a grouch is the one. He spoils the gathering, at the club, and turns a picnic into a funeral. Every one dodges him when they see him coming down the street, and when he drops in at your home you are bored until he takes his departure. And the man with a grouch is always chasing a willo-wisp, always reaching out for the unattainable. Seeking office is his especial occupation, and he usually seeks every position named in the Blue Book, and then, because some one more ra- THE ELKS. On all sides, from all nationalities, nothing but praise and commendation can be heard of the recent convention and parade of the Elks. They were the most orderly set of men who have ever been to this city. The appearance of the different organizations upon the public streets last Tuesday was an occasion for the highest praise. The consensus of opinion was that the Baltimore, Md., organization was composed of the best dressed and the best looking men in the entire parade. Their uniforms were spotless. There was no disturbance by any member of the Elks, and their reception at Convention Hall was attended by a large number of people, and the gowns of the ladies were equal to those of some of the State receptions given in this city. The joint local committee of both organizations that arranged for this harmony convention deserves the highest praise. The meeting at True Reformers' Hall was a harmonious gathering. The delegates were orderly in every particular. Too much cannot be said of the meeting of the Elks in this city. They demonstrated the fact that they can do as well as others, and all they want is an opportunity. The Bee, on behalf of the people, extend congratulations. Long live the Elks. NEGRO LEADERSHIP Rev. Sylvester L. Caruthers will address the National Independent Political League next Monday evening at Galbraith Church. His subject is "The New Negro and the Type of Leadership the Times Demand." This address will be a new departure. It will be full of eloquence and pointed phrases, that Dr. Caruthers can utter when he has a subject to address. He has a poor opinion of the present political leadership, and in his coming address he means to tell the people the kind and character of leadership the colored Americans demand today. If the present leadership is not up to the standard, Dr. Caruthers will tell you so, and point out its defects. The meeting next Monday night will be largely attended with his followers and men who believe in a new independent leadership in this country among colored Americans. THAT FAKE ASSOCIATION There has been a fake press association called to meet in New York at the time the Negro Business League is to meet there. Dr. Washington doesn't want any fake association attached to his Negro Business League. This League is doing something to elevate the colored race. The so-called press association is called by a man who depends on real editors to publish his matter. If there are colored editors fools enough to be duped into a fake organization, The Bee will not be one. If there is need for a first-class colored press association, let there be one organized and a real editor elected president of it. We have had enough fakers and fake institutions in this country. We want legitimate institutions and organizers. This affair in New York is what we may call the tail leading the head. THE SCHOOLS. The people will demand the re- moval of Mr. Roscoe C. Bruce as assistant superintendent of schools. There is at this time unrest in the colored schools. The people will look to Superintendent Stuart for relief. The monster petition that will be presented to the Board of Education will show the sentiment of the people against Mr. Bruce. 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. II. 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. Brother Chase on the Negro Editor. (From the Reformer, Va.) (From the Reformer, Va.) We have just read W. Calvin Chase on the negro editor. Brother Chase draws a pen picture of the negro editor and sums him up as a cowardly sycophant without views, truckling for favors. Brother Chase remarks that the negro editor will take a position tb-day and recede from it tomorrow if it serve his purpose. Forgives the wrongs and pardons the infamy heaped upon his foe for the hope of reward. He tells you to be patient with the wolves that devour you. Brother Chase sums up by sizing up the average negro editor as an opinionless coward with the price upon his head. The Independent quite agrees with Col. Chase in his conclusions and indores what he says when he elaborates that there are only about a half dozen negro editors in the country who have opinions of their own and the moral courage to express them. It is quite true, too, as Brother Chase continues, that these few editors who dare express opinions of their own and make legitimate criticisms of the public conduct of public officials are called defamers of character and fighters for everybody and everything. The negro editor in this country who has the moral courage to stand up and give expression to manly views has a hard road to travel. He is put down as an enemy to the public welfare because he essays to expose crime and immorality in high places. Because he locates and points out the traitors to the race he is called a chronic kicker. Brother Chase, you are right. Taft and the Negro (From the Atlanta, Ga., Independent.) It is generally charged by the political negroes and one or two selfish negro papers in this country that President Taft is a negro hater, dominated by Southern sentiment, and is largely tainted with "white-illusion" to the end that he is displacing all negro office holders with white men. Now, what are the tacts? The Independent says that the charge is not well founded and has no standing in fact. What negro office holder in this country has he displaced by a white man? Granting, for the sake of the argument, that negroes are entitled to the places because they are negroes, and white men are not entitled to the places because they are white, if they charge the resignation of Dr Crum, at Charleston, to President Taft's administration, for which he is not responsible, it would be offset by the appointment of Whitfield McKinlay as collector of customs at Georgetown, D. C. This is a position that no former President has ever given a negro. Some of the anti-Taft negroes have gone so far as to say that the appointment of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson as recorder of deeds, to succeed Hon. John C. Dancy, was a blow at the race. How they ever reached such a conclusion the Independent is at a loss to know. Johnson is a negro and Dancy is a negro, and how his appointment was a blow at the race any more than the appointment of the new commissioner of internal revenue at Washington, to succeed Commissioner Capers, of South Carolina, was a blow at the white race But President Taft has made innovations. He has placed negros into positions which the race had never filled before; he has put them into offices heretofore closed in their faces, and the only change that the Independent has been able to discover on the political horizon is that the President takes political advice from a different source. The Independent gives the President a clean bill of health and presents his record as a complete refutation of the charge that he is against the race. His administration is a success from every point of view, both in the recognition of the rights of all the people, in the distribution of patronage and in his contribution to helpful legislation. Buy a Lot. Crystal Springs, Md., is the place to purchase a lot. See advertisement in another column of The Bee. Baked Fish. Clean, wash and dry the fish and sprinkle the inside with salt. Cut gashes in the side two inches apart and tie the fish 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 cupulof of cracker crumbs, two tablespoon(uls 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" 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 heavenly, to destroy things upon earth, to encompass the world, capturing right and left such as lend an ear to his seductions." And so on. But not a word do we hear in condemnation of the unregenerate birds that carol heedlessly even while the minister is painting the horrors of an unmentionable 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. Abernethy 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 were very much broken. "Lor bless you, mam," said the landlady, "it's no use to mend them, for they always get broken when the undertaker's men bring the coffins downstairs."—London Chronicle. Read The Bee. GREAT AVENUE SAFE HIS MOTHER'S CHUM 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 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 pursuearings 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 cul Garden of the Tullieries, 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 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 bonhommes 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 Champs Elysées is the Palais de l'Elysées, 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 I, Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander L and Duc de Berril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysées first. Beyond the Aro the Avenue du Bols de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famous woods. 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 New 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 strenuous education considered necessary for his exalted position has not dulled the ready wit which he has inherited from Queen Amella, and he also shares her open air tastes, spending a good part of his leisure in tennis, fencing and riding. He has, moreover, artistic accomplishments, being both a muscular 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 went 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 relaxed 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 J. 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 recluse rather than as a king. Not long ago, therefore, he visited the University of Colmbra and was received in state by the professors and upoariously 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 astuteness 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 anecdotes 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 plued, 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 sportman, 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.

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. The Attucks Excursion will give an all-day excursion to The Crispus Attucks Association Washington Park August 9. The committee in charge of the affair reports much interest in the excursion by the people, who expect an enjoyable time with the Association on this occasion. Reports from every section of the city received by the committee indicate one of the most successful outings ever given by the Association. Quite a delegation from Rockville, Md., will go on the 10 o'clock trip and spend the day at the Park, returning on the 6 o'clock boat. This is perhaps one of the largest colored Associations in the country, over 500 members, and those who desire a day of pleasure will go with the Attucks on August 9. Three trips.

C., held a meeting last week, about 200 attending, and protested against the removal of Miss I. I. Kinner. Miss Kinner, it will be remembered, is one of the best teachers in the public schools and a lady in whom the people of Deanwood have confidence. The Bee a few weeks ago called the attention of its readers to this unjust part of the colored assistant superintendent R. C. Bruce. The matter was presented to the Board of Education by Attorney W. Calvin Chase, who has been engaged by the citizens to represent the interest of Miss Kinner. The Board of Education has promised to investigate this act of injustice and correct the evil. The addresses by the citizens were pointed and forcible and gave Mr. Bruce to understand that they have some rights that must be respected as citizens and taxpayers of Washington. "No teacher in the colored schools can tell when he is safe under the present regime," remarked one speaker. The sentiment of the meeting was that the Board of Education would right the wrong. Mr. Garner Entertained Mr. J. H. Garner, secretary, S. C. Negro Business League and State agent of North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, was the guest of Charles M. Thomas, of Normal School No. 2, last week. Mr. Garner represents the largest negro insurance company in the world. It has paid over half a million dollars in benefits, did a business of $220,100 last year, and has on hand $93,000 for the protection of its members. The accounts Mr. Garner gives of the progress of the people of Durham, N. C., and other points reached by him and his traveling agents are signs of actual advance and proofs of the open door of opportunity. Mr. Garner says the white aristocracy of the South is the best frined the negro has or will have. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., offers the following special courses: I.

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

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

POSED ASTHE QUEEN Wisconsin Girl Original for Painting of Alexandra. Evelyn May Converse, Playing Model, Met Artist, Who Kept Her Arrayed in Royal Finery Until Picture Was Finished. New York.—When the loyal and honest Britishers pay homage of heart to the pictured Alexandra at the coronation—from the brush of Edwin R. Abbey, R. A.—it is only to their queen's head and face. The rounded arms, the well poised neck, the stately, patrician carriage of the figure are another—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 VII." Miss Converse hasn't sat on the royal throne, but she has 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 Westminster, but there she is in the picture. The king himself ordered the painting to be hung on the walls of Buckingham palace. He posed; the queen posed; all the important personages who were nearest to their majesties on that august occasion faced Mr. Abbey for their portions of the picture. But for two years the great work was held up because there was no suitable model in England. "For two years I've waited for you," said Mr. Abbey when he met Miss Converse. He knew he had found the model he wanted—the rest was only a matter of course. Who that could do it would refuse to pose for her majesty, consort of Edward VII., and wear her robes and jewels? Strangely enough, Miss Converse isn't a professional model at all. She comes from Eau Claire, Wis., where her father, Henry Edward Converse, is a successful up-to-date American A Miss Evelyn May Converse. business man. He went there from New York and took a hand in mining and timber 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 flance, a painter prince—Emataum Bay, son of a Russian nobleman and a French countess, who adopted Egypt as their country, where Emataum 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 French and music, and hoping that perhaps some day she might go into grand opera. Then she went to England, and at Cambridge she met Ematoumi Bey, who had been to the varsity there and rowed in one of the crews. He had taken up painting—and he fell in love with Miss Converse. They became engaged And what could be prettier on canvas than the flancee's shell pink skin and her dusky black hair and her eyes that are sometimes black and sometimes blue and sometimes gray? And those arms, so exquisitely modeled! Well, George Story, the artist, saw the throat and arms and shoulders at a reception at the American embassy. "Just one sitting," he begged of the beautiful American girl, and when she told her flance of this he said: "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 Converse laughed merrily—the idea that such an artist, one of the two Americans 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 to 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 said, 'Yes, I'll do it,' and then—why, he just said that if my arms were like that he'd most certainly want me for a very important picture he was painting. "And that very day I put on Queen Alexandra's robes and he began to paint me in the picture." EFFECT OF COLORS Red Makes You Angry, Blue Is Soothing. Paris Medical Experts Claim to Have Found a Cure for Divorce Result of Experiments with Colors. Paris.—Medical experts of the French capital have found the latest cure for divorce. It is a result of experiments in colors made by eminent medical men, who declare that red wall paper, red clothes and red glass windows make persons angry. Blue, on the other hand, is soothing to the nerves of excited and "touchy" husbands and wives. A Paris husband who had been having trouble with his wife consulted one of these experts as a last chance before seeing a lawyer. The doctor visited the man's office and saw a brilliant crimson carpet on the floor. A large oil painting, the prevailing tone of which was red, hung on the wall. At the home he found red wall paper, red curtains and red furniture. "Red," said the doctor, "excites your temper and your wife's too. Try some other color. Put blue wall paper in the house and throw away every red 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 blue 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 is being used in Paris now, but the doctors of 30 years ago had not quite solved the secret of the effect of blue light on the human brain. They were going it blindly—just like the farmer who put green goggles on his cow and fed her shavings. But now science has found the real reason for the effect of red and blue on people's overworked minds. There's a quality in 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 conceive, travel to the BLUE SIGHT CELLS HAIR CELLS LOVE CELLS How Colors Affect the Eye. night 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 different nerve wire lines, just like different telephones signal "central" over different wires. The red nerve lines pass through a part of the brain that contains what doctors call the cells of hate! The blue nerve lines go a certain distance on the red party nerve line, and then switch onto the sight cells through a part of the brain that contains 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 homes by changing red furniture and wall paper 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 on the head where the love cells are the bump of Amativeness. Above this bump of amativeness is 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 Indian's skull than on a white man's. He believes that is why an Indian never forgets a grudge. The possibilities of treatment of family jars with colored rays are all most without limit, they say. Wives, especially, will be interested in the new discovery. Lots of evenings a man will come home and scold his wife, scold the nice supper she has cooked for him and find fault with everything. 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 maid in the kitchen! Hereafter, instead of "painting the town red," a man will win honor if he paints 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 stomach. In this marvelous discovery science has again shown one of her most wonderful truths—that it is the little things that cause trouble in the world. The Country's Progression. The first post route in the United States was established in 1672. It was between New York and Boston and the schedule was once a month. Today the yearly cost of mall transportation on our railroads alone is about $45,000,000. The railway postoffice lines cover 303,484 miles and employ over 600 officers and staffs. PARTITION SALE.

I found in ripping the worn facing from the bottom of a dress skirt that had several rows of stitching that I accomplished the task with greater ease and speed and less danger of cutting the goods when I pinned the skirt to my knee and held the facing firmly with my left hand, and with a sharp knife ripped from instead of toward me.
