VOL.XXXLNO11 Judre Terrell Orator MANY CELEBRATE SLAVES' FREEDOM. Cleveland Association of Colored Men Holds Picnic—Emancipation is Recognized in Speeches—Washington Judge is Orator of the Day. Cleveland, O., August 2. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, with their wives and children and sweethearts, took control of Luna Park yesterday afternoon and evening to celebrate Emancipation Day—not the Lincoln Emancipation alone, for that is of a September date, but that of August 1, 1834, when Great Britain liberated all her slaves in the West Indies. There were several thousand people present. The day's celebration began with a marathon race that started from in front of the Leader office at 10 o'clock and ended at the park just thirty-one minutes later, when Lenwood Jones, an employee of the Peerless Automobile Company, covered the five and a half miles to Luna Park in record-breaking time, and was awarded a gold watch. Moses Dixon, the second in the race, carried off a diamond studded pin. A thousand or more people gathered about the athletic field in the afternoon and watched a series of events which ended in a baseball game in which the Leonard Sofa Bed team put the Smart Set to slumber by a score of 10 to 6. Then the crowd gathered about the theater, where the most serious program of the day was carried out. The gathering was presided over by William R. Green, while about him on the platform were Vice Mayor H. F. Walker, representing Mayor Bachr; Judge Robert H. Terrel, of the Municipal Court, of Washington, D. C., the orator of the day; Edward P. Smith, Harry E. Davis, Samuel T. Boyd, Dr. Ellis A. Day, and other officers of the organization. Vice Mayor Walker gave a hearty welcome to the gathering on behalf of the mayor. "President Lincoln having given you the freedom of the United States," said the speaker, "it is the least we can do for you to offer you the freedom of the city of Cleveland. That I do most cordially on behalf of Mayor Lehr The chairman then introduced the JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL orator of the day, Judge Terrel, "himself born in slavery, who worked his own way through Harvard University and is now judge on the municipal court of Washington." Judge Terrel was greeted with a round of applause. When it had subsided he said: "The story of the negro in America is not new, but is so romantic and so filled with striking situations that men who read and study the problem find in it an interest that is as fresh today as it was in the days of the great constitutional convention of 1789, when behind the chair of each member of that body stood always the terrifying shadow of the slave. "It would be better for us who have negro blood in our veins and better for our country if this subject were not so popular. But since it must be discussed we should without finching assume our share of the debate. The trouble has been that one set of people have been trying to solve the negro question all by themselves without asking us anything about it. They forget, as one of Tourgee's old negro characters puts it, that the man in the moon knows more about the moon than all the astronomers on earth." Judge Terrel said he was an optimist of the optimists. Nowhere in the world was the negro so well off as here in the United States, he said. "The census of 1910, I think, will give some startling material regarding the advances made by the negro in the first fifty years of the emancipation." A prize baby show closed the afternoon. In this Maie Perkins was awarded the beauty prize; Charlotte Cix, the health prize; Mary and Martha Fay (twins), the prize for cuteness. The principal committeemen were: Reception—William R.

Every Member of Posse in Pursuit of Blacks Shot to Death and a New Band of 300 Starts Out to Punish Slayers. Two Companies of State Guard Ordered to Scene of Carnage by Governor—3 Soldiers Fall in First Assault Riot Is Started by Slaying of Planter Who Tried to Collect Debt—Negroes Loot Hardware Stores and Seize Guns. PALESTINE, Texas, July 30.—Fifty negroes and seventeen white men are dead in the woods surrounding this place tonight, and a pitched battle is progressing between whites and blacks. The known dead are: William Pecker, John Samuels, Alfred Whitton, James Arnolds, Hervy Wilkins, William Goode, Albert Milam, James Frenck, Sol Lee, Jefferson Harris, William Timmons, James Edry, George Mundsom and Henry Frazier, all white. The names of the negroes slain in the battle are not known, and a number of bodies of white men are lying in the brush surrounding the settlement into which the negroes have been driven tonight, and it is impossible to determine who of those engaged in the rush this afternoon on the negroes' stronghold have been victims of the fire.of the blacks. Troops are being rushed from Houston and Jacksonville tonight to the scene of the fighting, and it is expected that their arrival will cow the blacks and effect their surrender. Fight More Than 36 Hours. Not since the famous battles of the Texas Rangers against the bad men of the Southwest has there been such an engagement fought in Texas as that begun on Friday afternoon and continued today. For more than thirty-six hours the whites and blacks have been battling. The arrival of troops is anticipated to put an end to the fighting, but the negroes are determined, and as they have a plentiful supply of ammunition, it is feared that the fighting will continue for several days. Fresh recruits of negroes from the vicinity of Jacksonville and Palestine are continually joining the ranks of the negroes, who are thought to number a thousand or more in the woods and everglades that surround Palestine. Negroes Loot Hardware Stores This afternoon the hardware stores of Palestine and Jacksonville were stormed by a horde of negroes and looted of all the guns and ammunition that they contained. This was accomplished despite the fact that guards of the constabulary of the two towns had been added to the State troops. Friday afternoon John Wilson, a farmer, living near Palestine, started to collect the balance on a note due him from Edgar Henry, a negro tenant, who occupied a portion of the Wilson plantation. The negro saw Wilson riding toward his place and hid himself in a thicket near his cabin. Without warning he emptied both barrels of a shot gun, the charges taking effect in Wilson's head, killing him instantly. The sound of the gun attracted Jim Cruse, a neighbor, who accused the negro of shooting Wilson. The negro advanced on Cruse, who was unarmed, loading his gun as he came. He shot Cruse without warning. Mrs. Cruse saw her husband fall and telephoned to Palestine. A posse was formed immediately to capture Henry. The negro fled to a settlement of blacks a mile distant and told the negroes there that he had been attacked by two white men. Whole Settlement Aflame Immediately the settlement was aflame, and every negro armed himself with a gun and advanced to meet the posse. About five miles from town the negroes and whites met and the battle followed. Every member of the posse was killed, and seven of the attacking negroes were fatally shot. A small boy observed the battle and hurried to his home and telephoned to Palestine that every member of the attacking party had been killed. The Palestine residents were inflamed and 300 citizens formed a posse to hunt down the negroes. In the meantime word had been telegraphed to Jacksonville and Houston that a race riot was in progress in the vicinity of Palestine, and it was asked that Governor Campbell be wired to send troops to the scene. The Houston authorities put the matter up to Governor Campbell, who immediately ordered two Houston companies of the Texas National Guard aboard a train on the International and Great Northern Road, and a special train was rushed to Palestine. At that point automobiles were NINE—BEE provided and the soldiers were hurried to the section where the fighting was in progress. Three Soldiers Are Killed. When the negroes, who had thrown up breastworks of logs and underbrush in the forest about their settlements, saw the troops approaching they opened fire. Three soldiers fell at the first volley, and the negroes were forced by the rush of the troops to retreat to a second line of defense they had constructed. The first rush of the soldiers was accomplished during this morning, and after its fatal results the troops withdrew to determine, if possible, the strength of the negroes. Again in the afternoon the troops made an attempt to invest the fortifications of the negroes, aided by a detail of planters in the vicinity of Palestine and Jacksonville. The planters' detachment was assigned to attack one side of the negro stronghold, while the detachment of troop, stormed another. For some reason the negroes chose to direct their fire against the planters, and in the fire eleven were killed outright. After this attack darkness fell and the troops and planters withdrew from the attack. It is said tonight that 500 fresh men and troops are being rushed to Palestine to engage in an attack on the negro stronghold early Sunday morning. AUST4N, Tex., July 30—Governor Campbell today ordered a detachment of rangers and a company of State militia to the vicinity of Palestine to quell the race riot which broke out early today. All Saloons Are Closed. Judge D. H. Gardner has closed all saloons in the county and city. The saloons will remain closed until conditions warrant reopening. An order was issued by the court forbidding the sale or rental of guns and ammunition for the present. Most of the dealers had already sold out of guns and ammunition. The negroes of that section have been preparing for trouble and were heavily armed. The whites say they have been very insolent. The negroes at secret meetings at a little schoolhouse near Slocum planned to burn several houses of the white farmers. The plot was given away by one old negro, and as the negroes were on their way to a meeting last night four of them were killed. The area affected by the trouble is about fifteen miles square, and is in a portion of the county inhabited largely by negroes, and very inaccessible. Tonight at 7 o'clock three State rangers arrived here, and a company of State militia arrived from Marshall. Niagara Movement The Sixth Annual meeting of the Niagara Movement, Dr. W. E. B.

(From the Atlantic, Ge. Id. (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-lillyism" 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. In Arkansas, Col. John E. Bush, a negro, has been appointed to succeed himself; in Alabama, Col. Nathan Alexander, a negro, has been appointed to succeed himself: at Jacksonville, Fla., Hon. Joseph H. Lee, a negro, has been appointed collector to succeed himself; in Louisiana, Walter Copen, a negro, has been appointed to succeed himself; in Washington City, President Taft turned the white National committeeman down and appointed Whitfield McKinlay collector of customs, displacing a white man; in New York, Charles Anderson, a negro, succeeds himself; in Boston, W. H. Lewis, a negro, succeeds himself; in New York, Attorney McDougal, a negro, displaces a white man in the office of United States District Attorney: in the Treasury Department, the Hon. W. D. Johnson, a negro, of Kentucky, succeeds a white man as special agent, giving to the race an additional place, and a colored man from Missouri is appointed special agent for the Agricultural Department, a new place for the race. The collector of customs at Savannah is the only place of importance in which a colored man was displaced by a white man, and this was not really a displacement, for Col. John H. Deveaux held the place until he died, and Col. Leakin, a white man, was appointed to succeed him. This was agreed to and recommended by H. A. Rucker, W. H. Johnson and Henry Blun. So, when you get a bill f f TRIO. f ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ⊕ CODA. of particulars, the professional negroes' charge against President Taft must fail. But President Taft has made innovations. He has placed negroes 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. 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.

Lucienne 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 WILKINS Mile. Lucienne 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. Chalanson, arose and in carefully selected words set forth the ideas which first inspired the business men to bring in 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 airs. 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 Probility 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 palms." Perhaps it is no disgrace to be a kicker if the other fellow needs one. Henry E. Legler of Milwaukee Assumes New Position at Salary of $6,000 Annually. Chicago.—Freer use of books and better facilities for getting them are two of the reforms which book lovers may expect to follow shortly upon the advent of 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 M. 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 eucalypt 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 compay 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, sir—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 1798 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 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 Tuskégee 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.

WELCOME THE OUTLOOK. On August 20 Dr. Booker T. Washington will set sail for European points, and while there will study labor conditions, later incorporating his investigations, observations and conclusions in a series of articles to The Outlook. This is a momentous problem—this labor problem, and calls for the highest trained and fairest brain to deal properly with it. The fact that Dr. Washington will contribute to The Outlook, no matter upon what subject, bespeaks a tribute that is only paid to real merit, real wisdom, and perfect poise of mind. The Outlook is the primere publication in this country: sound and unbiased philosophically sound. Between its covers appear the views and sentiments of the highest, the fairest, and the best schooled of American brain. It is a publication that is never sensational, never on the fence, and never given to favoritism of men, measures, or parties against what is fundamentally and absolutely right. It is a publication that "hews to the line, let the chips fall where they may." The engagement of a man of the colored race to contribute to the columns of this lofty, eminently fair and valuable publication is a tribute, first, to the man, secondly, to his race, and, thirdly, to his country, without reference to race or color distinction. And this constitutes but another evidence that Dr. Booker T. Washington is acknowledged, and accepted, as the leader, apostle and pathfinder of a race that has but recently emerged, with marvelous strides, from the almost hopeless jungles of ignorance into and onto the open, unrestricted field of progress. That Dr. Washington's articles will be awaited with keen interest. and that they will be read with avidity by all colored Americans who have even a suspicion of race pride there is no doubt. And of the ten and more millions of people on this continent who are collated in the census reports as colored Americans. 90 per cent of them are bubbling over with race pride, and the other 10 per cent need only the veriest rudiments of education to make them join the other 90 per cent. To Dr. Washington we say, God speed, and a safe return. To The Outlook, that primere publication, we bid welcome to the homes of our people. THE TENAS RIOT There are some people in this country—colored people, especially—who are spasmotic. In politics, as well as in other things, these people are swayed by sympathy. Their sympathies come soon and leave as fast as they come. Their indignation rises when they see or hear of an imaginary wrong inflicted, and the first to condemn or denounce it, and then after a little flurry it is all over. This will be the result of the indignation meeting held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last Monday evening, a report of which will be seen elsewhere in The Bee. There are thousands of white people in the South who are friendly disposed toward the colored people; and if they were not there, the race could not live there. All white people South are not against the colored people. The better class of white people, to a great extent, want the colored man to succeed. The orators at this meeting seem to class all the white people South in the same category. This should not be. The Southern white people—that is, some of them—will do most anything to avoid the colored people. It is so in this city. The white people in this city are more liberal toward the colored enterprises than colored people themselves. Take, for instance, our summer camps. The Bee has been informed by Miss Bell Russell, one of the public school teachers, that she, who has charge of these colored camps, says that Captain James F. Oyster, formerly the president of the Board of Education; Mr. W. V. Cox, who succeeded Captain Oyster, have contributed liberally to these colored camps, while lots of these so-called colored representatives fail to give a cent. The Bee cites these two instances to show the feeling of the white people toward the colored race, who are being abused and condemned by a set of irresponsible colored agitators. The colored orators who want to be prominent in the eyes of the people should be more careful, and discriminate between the friends and the enemies. Had it not been for the good white people of this country, with the assistance of Dr. Washington and others, there would be no Colored Men's Christian Association and many other fine institutions that have been needed by the colored people. Dr. Thirkield, of Howard University, has certainly demonstrated his love and interest in the colored race, no matter what his enemies may say about him. At no time has he failed to defend the colored race and denounce those who abuse the oppressed colored people. Let us be fair and give credit to those who deserve it, be they Democrats, Republicans, ex-Confederates or what not. We have lots of friends among the latter. DONT SULK. Every physician and patriotic citizen in this city should do everything to make the stay of the doctors in this city agreeable. No man should sulk. At conventions held elsewhere the citizens would come together and entertain the strangers. If there are any physicians in this city who have enjoyed the hospitalities of other cities, who are not taking part in this convention, should remain at home hereafter. Certainly a physician who has been entertained by other cities should be the last person to sulk in his tent at this time. The local Committee of Physicians and the Citizens' Committee are working harmoniously together, and The Bee feels confident that the entertainment to the visitors will be a success. Don't sulk. THE ASSASSIN. Laws cannot be too severe against concealed weapons. The habit of people carrying firearms should be stopped. Then, again, there should be a law making attempt to assassinate an official or an attempt to kill a citizen punishable by death. That was a most cowardly assault committed upon Mayor Gaynor, of New York. The only punishment the would-be assassin will receive, if Mayor Gaynor doesn't die, will be imprisonment. AT LAST. Let the people of this city be thankful and thank those who have made it possible to have a theater for the people. The Howard Theater is the finest structure of any play-house in this city. And, just think of it, it is a place for the people of Washington. The Bee means all the people of respectability. This theater is worth inspecting. It is in a fashionable part of the city, close to three lines of cars, and is situated at the corner of 7th and Tea streets northwest. Monday, August 22, the Howard Theater will be open; secure your tickets now. The opening will be spectacular. Washington, D. C., Aug. 2, 1910. A resolution to aid the Governors and other officers in the States and Territories in the United States to protect life and property against lawless mobs. Be it resolved, That we call upon the President of the United States, as commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and ask his favorable recommendation that all the surplus fire arms in the United States be distributed among the States and Territories, and that each male seitizen over twenty-one years old be sworn in, subject to the local authorities, and be given a gun and what ammunition is necessary, so that he can be called out by the local authorities, that they may protect life and property and preserve order against lawless mobs. Therefore be it further resolved, That we appoint a committee to call upon the President, and present him a copy of these resolutions, that as we believe that this is the only way to protect the life and property and preserve order, for the Governors of the States, and the local officers can not protect the citizens, and the good citizens cannot give the aid that is necessary to meet these mobs unless they are armed. Therefore be it further resolved, That we give the President and Governors and other officers in the United States our hearty support in the protection of life and property, and in the preserving of law and order, and our assurance that there is no danger in the expressions contained in these resolutions. REV. JAMES L. WHITE, 2533½ 15th St. N. W. The Independent Movement. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 7. The National Independent Political League of American Negroes held its annual session of last week Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in Atlantic City. It was reputed to be one of the most interesting and intellectual sessions ever held by the free Negroes of this country. On the opening night Bishop Alexander Walters, A. M., D. D., of New York; Professor E. B. W, DuBois, of Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. J. Milton Waldron, national organizer; Dr. Sylvester L. Corrothers, the executive member of the District of Columbia, and President of the District league, delivered great speeches. Representative men from all over the country sent contributions, and the spirit of independence seemed to be in evidence on every side. Dr. Corrothers, the chairman of the Executive Committee, has received more than a dozen letters since his return to the city and 35 or more applications for membership in the League. Dr. Corrothers, after consultation with other members of the League, has called a meeting in Washington City Sept. 28 at 2 p. m. At 8 p. m. there will be a public mass meeting and reception tended representatives from all over the country attending this League. The seed of independence has already been sown in the minds of the American negro, and the officers of this League purpose to keep up their fight until every self-respecting negro of this country shall be brought face to face with the issues for which they stand. On all sides signs appear of the ambition of the Bread and Butter Brigade. All lovers of liberty, justice and fair play are invited to membership without regard to political party or social or religious affiliation.

The new Howard Theater, at the corner of 7th and T streets northwest, will be managed by the greatest theatrical manager in the United States. W. H. Smith is his name, and his cut appears on the front page of this week's Bee Mr. Smith is one of the most affable men you desire to meet, with a thorough business head upon two broad shoulders. He was formerly the manager of the great Pekin Theater, Chicago, Ill. This picture was taken especially for The Bee, and to enable the people to see the man who is to manage the people's theater. The Bee had a fine cut made of him. Mr. Smith comes to the people of this city highly recommended to be one of the best practical theater managers in the country. He is a man who has had contact with many enterprises, and successful in them all. Mr. Smith is authority on all matters pertaining to the stage, and what he doesn't know is not worth knowing. The Howard Theater, of which he is to be the manager, is, no doubt, the finest theater in the city. The people should go and inspect it before it opens, which will be Monday, Aug. 22. No citizen should fail to go to the opening of this theater. It is one of the prettiest theaters in the country, and it is the intention of Mr. Smith to cater to the wishes of the people of this city. The famous Pekin Theater, of Chicago, Ill., formerly managed by Mr. Smith, is to-day managed upon the basis inaugurated by this great theatrical manager. Mr. R. T. Mott is one of Manager Smith's best wishes. He knows who Mr. Mott is. The Bee will each week announce the attractions at this theater. The Bee also extends congratulations to you, Mr. Smith, and, on behalf of the people, you are welcomed to the Capital of the Nation. THE FINAL COUNT. Passes Away Peacefully at His Home in Baltimore—Arizona Trip Fails to be of Benefit—Surrounded by Family, the End Comes at 8:08 This Morning. BALTIMORE, Aug. 10.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion pugilist of the world, died at the home of his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gamp. on Argyle avenue, this city, at 8:08 o'clock this morning, following a brave battle of months' duration against the dread white plague. Gans' end was peaceful. At 'the deathbed the former champion was surrounded by his loyal wife, Martha J. Gans, former colored school teacher, whose untiring attention to her stricken husband has won the admiration of all; Gans' foster mother: "Kid" North, an old-time pugilist, who accompanied Gans on his homeward journey from Prescott, Ariz.: the nurse, Miss Tilghman, and Col. Dan. Pendleton, a life-long friend of the little fighter. Funeral arrangements probably will be announced late to-day. Last Public Appearance. Gans' last public appearance was on the stage of the Gaiety Theater, during a theatrical engagement of Battling Nelson, his conqueror. Joe did not take any part in the show, merely making a short address, during which he told of the great prowess of the mighty Dane. Gans was given a grand ovation. The parting of Gans and Nelson, as the former left the stage, was most pathetic, both men visibly showing the human affection. In the eyes of both were tears. The following day 'Gans left for Arizona to begin training for his last battle, that of life and death. The grim reaper won out. Gans "came back" last Friday—came back to die. In the death of Joe Gans the prize ring loses one of its most picturesque characters, and as game a lightweight as ever donned a glove. His real name was Gamp. He was born in Baltimore in 1874, the son of a poverty-streken and illiterate-negro. When a mere pickaninny Gans went to work as a delivery boy in the old Baltimore Fish Market. Gans' Own Life Story. These facts are taken from Gans' own story of his life: "Once the boss and his brother and I each put in $1.70, and we bought a set of $5 boxing gloves. I got too good for the other boys, so they made me box them two at a time. My first fight was to a finish with another 'kid.' My boxing with two boys at once had taught me how to block and lead, so I won my first real fight, which was for a $2 side bet and a collection of $5.40. It looked like a lot of money to me, and I just had to win. I took the money home to my mother. "My next fight was for 23 rounds, and the purse was $8. Then I began picking up little fights, meeting the boxers and wrestlers who traveled around giving exhibitions and earning a few dollars here and there. I took it all home to my mother. It worried her. She asked me where I got it, and I told her I won it shooting craps. "But she thought I was stealing, so I had to take my uncle one night to see me fight. Then my mother tried to make me stop; but I liked the game too much. In those days I didn't have much of a punch, but I was awfully fast, and I could jab with my left hand in great shape. I didn't know I had a right hand." Defeats "Kentucky Rosebud." One of Gans' early fights was with the "Kentuckie Rosebud," who had just knocked out George Dixon. Gans beat him in six rounds. Then began his professional career, which took him to the top. Gans' first chance for the championship came in his fight with Frank Erne in New York on March 23, 1900. Erne won in the twelfth round. Gans claimed that he had been blinded when Erne "butted" him. He was unable to get another fight with the champion until May 12, 1902, when they met at Fort Erie, Canada. Gans won in 1 minute and 40 seconds. Gans had things all his own way as the lightweight champion until July 4, 1908. His first fight with Nelson had taken place in September, 1906, at Goldfield, Nev. Nelson got $22,500 for the fight, win, lose, or draw, while Gans got but $11,000, though the house drew $67,715, up to that time the largest gate receipts ever taken in at a ring contest. Not only did Gans agree to give Nelson the larger part of the purse, but Nelson forced Gans to weigh in twice. Gans won in the forty-second round in one of the most gruelling fights ever seen in the American prize ring. After that fight he defeated Kid Herman, Jimmy Britt, George Memsic, Spike Sullivan, and Rudy Holz. Gans' Fatal Move In the meantime Nelson was clamoring for, a return match. He and Gans met on July 4, 1908. "It was my fatal move," said Gans. "Nelson proved too strong for me, making me take the count in the seventeenth round. On September 8, 1908, we clashed for a third time, and while I made a valiant struggle to wrest back the title I had held so long, the Battler wore me down again, and I was counted out in the twenty-second round. My last battle was with Jabez White, the English champion. I know I made a miserable showing, but I was far from being myself. Had I been the Gans, of old, the Englishman would never have stayed ten rounds. "When Ad Wolgast beat Bat Nelson for the title, I thought I could defeat the new champion, but though I posted a forfeit of $1,000 it remained uncovered. At that time my health was pretty good, but when I went to New York to take down the money I contracted a severe cold, which finally put me out of the game for good." Gans returned to his Baltimore hotel, but consumption had the best of him, and he was sent to Arizona in the hope that he might recover. He was too far gone. "At leisure moments," said Gans once, "I have figured my earnings, and I know that during the time I was in the ring I made $300,000, both from my fighting and theatrical engagements."

Washington Bee: Please allow me to state a few facts about the new Howard Theater. I can say without exaggeration that it is one of the most complete theaters in the city, its accommodations and new ventilating system has placed it above anything of its kind. Mr. Smith, its manager, of Chicago, having had a long experience in the theatrical line, has proved himself to be the most competent man for the position. He promises to do everything for the comfort and pleasure of the people of Washington. The owner of the theater has spared no pains in making this the greatest theater for the colored American that is known anywhere, and I am sure that the people of Washington should be very grateful to these gentlemen, for now we have a place to go, taking our wives, daughters, sisters and friends, and feel unmolested and at home. One feature of this theater is there shall be the employment of colored help throughout, people of Washington being favored as far as possible. The ushers are to be selected from Howard University, the M Street High and Armstrong Manual Training schools. The position of house electrician has been offered to a most competent Howard University student at a handsome salary. This young man is our friend, O. L. Garnett, who has been producing wonderful electrical effects with limited apparatus at that most unique little theater known as Ford Dabney's. Very respectfully, W. L. SMITH. Druggist, 4th and Elm Sts. N. W. The Chelsea Theater The Chelsea Theater. M street, between 19th and 20th streets northwest, formerly owned and managed by white people, The Bee understands, has changed hands and will be hereafter managed by S. L. Jones and L.

Messrs. Jones and Chambers are well known and liked, and it is predicted that their success is assured. RESULTS OF AN APPEAL FOR ARKANSAS COLLEGE. W. E. Stewart Complains of the Lack of Generosity on Part of Northern Negroes. "I asked the Colored Preachers' Alliance of Washington for money to aid the Arkansas Baptist College at Little Rock, which has done so much to help educate the Negroes of the country, and they gave me—30 cents. "If this is a measure of the sympathy felt by the Negroes of the North for the Negroes of the South, I say they had better attend to their own business instead of sending telegrams to governors and sheriffs of the Southern States expressing their indignation at the lynching of Negroes. Their resolutions of sympathy are meaningless to us." Have Friends in South This statement was made Tuesday by W. E. Stewart, financial agent of the Arkansas Baptist College, who recently came to Washington to attend the memorial service for the late Rev. Dr. George W. Lee, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Church. He said that he attended the meeting of the Preachers' Alliance last week and was called upon to make an address. "I told them of many friends among the white people that the Negroes have in the South, and of our freedom there. But it seemed that the members of the Alliance wished to condemn all our white friends in the South because of the outrage in Palestine, Texas. Yet we have thousands of white friends in the South as well as in the North. Brought Credentials With Him. "Before I asked for funds to help the Arkansas Baptist College I presented my credentials from the Baptists' national convention, and recommendations from Gov. George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, and from the Business League of Little Rock. But my appeal resulted in a donation of 30 cents. Yet I am told that some of these preachers receive $125 a month for their services. "I have appealed to the city pastors for a place in which to explain the real condition of the Negroes of the South and what is being done for them by the white people of the Southern States. I hope to be able to deliver this address before I leave here." Mr. Stewart is staying at 417 P street Northwest. The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.

Metropolitan Grove, Aug. 9. Since my last letter we have had lots of rain. Monday it rained all day, hence we could not take our usual drive through the country. Everybody is a politician up this way. From my brief observation I am of the opinion that Representative Pierre will win. The colored vote is quite large in Montgomery County, and it seems to incline toward Mr. Pierre. Mr. Warner is not spoken of very much so far in the colored ranks. The colored voter believes that he will give Mr. Pierre another trial, although Mr. Warner is making a tremendous fight. There was a delightful lawn party given a few miles away the other evening. I met the belles and beaux. Well, you talk about country; the girls looked well, and the boys are never lost for company. I don't live very far from the county school. From what I have been told, the colored children don't have school seven months. They always close in April. The white schools keep open longer. I shall leave here next week for a little trip down the Chesapeake Bay. I am delightfully fond of sailing upon the glorious old Chesapeake. Since my stay here I have had a delightful time. Mama concluded that she had rest enough, hence she decided to put up jam and preserves. She has all kinds, I assure you. We shall all go for a long drive tomorrow. Our escort has two fine horses and a turnout that any person would envy. I am surrounded by all kinds of fruit and vegetables, as I told you in my former letter. If we were nearer to the city I would extend the opportunity to keep you well supplied with what we cannot eat. The male population in this section is very industrious, and saving at that. It will not be long before a great number of the best-farms will be owned by the colored people. Look for us after our return from the bay. Yours, MEETING .ASKS NATION TO END MOB VIOLENCE. Resolutions are Adopted—Clergymen Make Addresses—Appeal to President. At a meeting of more than 600 last Monday night, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, the recent race riot in Texas was denounced as an outrage against law and order. An appeal to the President and members of Congress for aid in "the enthrancement of law and order" was adopted. More than twenty clergymen were in attendance, and many of them spoke. Resolutions were adopted asking the sympathetic consideration of the President, the judges of the United States Supreme Court, the Governors of the States, the officials of the law, the pulpit and the press, "to the end that lynching and mob rule and race riot may be driven from the American commonwealth." Continuing, the resolutions said: "We earnestly ask that this government, which has shown its sympathy with the weak of foreign nations by sending an army to Cuba, by joining with the powers in settling the Boxer trouble in China, by suggesting that honor had been satisfied to Russia and Japan, which is in sympathy with Russian Jews and Armenians in their sufferings, which has often protected individuals abroad in the name of humanity, shall protect its weak at home." Among those who spoke were Rev. J. M. Waldron, Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross, Rev. Dr. S. L. Carruthers, H. A. Clarke, Prof. William H. H. Hart, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor and Rev. R. K. Harris, W. D.

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

ADVISORY BOARD LAMATION 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 thelrs. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The price of stock is $10.00 per share, payable $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. Before you lay this paper down cut out the coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and mail to-day, with remittance for first payment, if for but one share of stock.

Evelyn May Converse, Playing Model, Met Artist, Who Kept Her Ar- rayed 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 Ive 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 fiance, a painter prince—Efatoum Boy, son of a Russian nobleman and a French countess, who adopted Egypt as their country, where Efatoum 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 Efiatoum 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 flances'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 ploture 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 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 RED How Colors Affect the Eyes. 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 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. Eowler, 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 almost 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 mail transportation on our railroads alone is about 844,000,000. The railway postoffice lines cover 292,424 miles and employ 38,880 officers and staffs.

This promises to be the most interesting meeting ever held on this old historic spot, Good Hope, D. C. This celebration will be held for the purpose of saving souls, for whom the Savior died, and to aid in raising means for the rebuilding of our church. Able divines have been invited to be present at each service on Sundays. Rev. I. N. Ross, D. D., of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C.; Rev. Leper, of Ebenezer, West Washington; Rev. C.

The next meeting of the National Medical Association will be held in Washington, D.C., August 23, 24 and 25, 1910. By reason of its favorable location on the border line between the North and South, its great educational advantages and hospital facilities, no better place could have been selected for this meeting. The officials of the Howard University have placed some of their finest buildings at the disposal of the convention. The great half-million-dollar new Freedmen's Hospital will open its doors, and we are assured that the clinical facilities of all kinds will be unsurpassed by any the Association has had in the past. The Local and Citizens' Committees organized early last fall, and since then they have worked in complete harmony and accord to make this meeting a credit to the Capital City as well as to the great organization itself. Not less than 500 delegates are expected to be in attendance. The scientific program is being arranged with great care, and physicians, dentists and pharmacists will hold sectional meetings, so that they may discuss in a heart-to-heart manner the problems pertaining to their individual professions. Clinics will be conducted likewise. The Citizens' Committee will see to it that there be no lack of functions, but it is generally agreed that the socials on this occasion will not usurp or interfere with the scientific program. The Local Committee is endeavoring to secure special rates. Should they do so, announcement will be made. Otherwise, delegates and visitors are advised to secure summer tourists' or excursion rates to Washington, or the nearest point East to which these rates may be secured. Reduced rates may be secured at almost any time to Old Point Comfort, Va. (This will apply especially to delegates from the South and Southwest). Nothing is more pleasant than a boat ride from Old Point Comfort to Baltimore, thence to Washington by rail in 4m hour; or those who prefer may go directly to Washington from Old Point Comfort by rail or boat. Dr. Charles H. Marshall, 2710 P street northwest, Washington. D. C., is Chairman of the Public Comfort Committee. Write him with reference to attendance, accommodation.
