Close of the Durham School. DURHAM, N. C., Aug. 15.—With a grand sacred concert Sunday night, the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, of which Dr. James E. Shepard is the founder and president, came to a close. Its first Summer session was a complete success, and established itself as the only bona fide chautauqua among Negroes. The attendance was about 120 teachers, ministers and other professional people from the States of Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia, and the success of the movement, which is a permanent one, is already assured. Definite announcements were made with reference to the permanent work of the institution, which in all its departments will be on a rather high order. The religious department will train men and women for gospel work, not only the men in the ministry, but others for Young Men's Christian Association and Young Women's Christian Association workers, and for work in other Christian societies, and a medical missionary hospital will be erected by the beginning of the fall term for the purpose of training missionaries for work in foreign fields. The literary courses are all arranged on a par, with those of Princeton and the other higher universities of the North, and in none of its work will the institution be in competition with existing institutions among the Negroes. It seems to be the intention of the institution to begin its work where other schools leave off, and to be in a peculiar manner a school for the leaders of the people. Dr. Shepard states that the institution will never seek numbers, preferring to teach its principles with this broad religious foundation to the few, in order that they might more properly become the real leaders of the people. In the commercial department, instruction will be given in banking, insurance, real estate, stenography and typewriting, and the whole department will be under the direction of the well-known Prof. T. P. Smith, who for 18 years was proprietor of the Smith Business College, Lynchburg, Va. Prof. Smith's acquisition is a distinct increase in the strength of the efficiency of the institution, and it is his intention to continue the work at Lynchburg, if a good young man can be secured who will carry it on under his occasional supervision. The regular session of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua will begin October 12. Great Social Event Great Social Event. Social affairs in Washington during the coming week will reach flood tide. With our foremost scientific body and their numerous friends throut the land as our guests, Washington will add to her already enviable reputation for hospitality. The calendar of events is worthy of repetition. The week's festivities will begin with a huge welcome meeting at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Tuesday evening, Aug. 23, at 8 p. m., with addresses by leading citizens and music by our favorite artists. Immediately thereafter the men will repair to the Reformer Building, 12th and U streets, to be entertained at a smoker by the Mu-So-Lit Club. The well-known Pen and Pencil Club entertainers, Pelham and Gray, assisted by "Hiawatha" Finley and Artist Sadgwar, will interples talks by members and guests with an illustrated skit. In this function local doctors and citizens will co-operate. Wednesday evening the lawn party at Howard University campus under the auspices of the ladies will be the picturesque feature of the week. Thursday night is set apart for the N. M. A. reception and dance, where social Washington will greet the flower of the race amid splendid surroundings and the inspiring strains of an augmented orchestra of 30 pieces. Friday afternoon and evening is given over to the river excursion to Washington Park. It is greatly to be desired that our representative citizens co-operate in each of these functions, in order that Washington's good name for hospitality and public spirit be not marred. Those desiring to participate may secure cards from Chairman Lofton, 1523 M street, of the General Committee; Chairman Curtis, 1939 13th street, of the Reception and Dance Committee; Chairman Wormley, 1533 14th street, of the Excursion Committee; Chairman Dumas, of the Committee on Complimentary Tickets, or Chairman Gray, 12th and U streets, of the Mu-So-Lit Club; or at any of the drug stores affiliated with the National Medical Association. GOES TO FAMILY REUNION. Justice Barnard Off to Valparaiso, Ind. The sixth quinquennial meeting of the association known as the Eleven Branches of the House of William Barnard will be held Friday at Maple Arbor Farm, near Valparaiso, Ind, the home of Charles Nelson Barnard. In order to attend this meeting Justice Job Barnard, who is secretary of the association, adjourned court at noon Wednesday and took a train for Valparaiso. He was accompanied by his son, Attorney Ralph P. Barnard, who holds the office of vice president of the association. An August, 1885, this association of the descendants of William Barnard was organized, and now has a mem- hership of 82. Since the last meeting, in 1905, the president of the association, Oliver W. Barnard, the oldest of the eleven children of the family, died, as did also Mrs. Polly A. Maulsby, the treasurer of the association. Other members of the family will be selected at this meeting to fill the vacancies in those offices. Only three other members of the association have died within the past five years. The meeting takes the form of an outdoor picnic dinner. All relatives, neighbors and friends of the Barnards have received a cordial invitation to attend and bring their baskets. After the reunion Justice Barnard will go to Chicago and thence through Boston to his country home at Center Lowell, Me. He will return to court the day after Labor Day, and will preside until Sept. 18, when Chief Justice Clabaugh will relieve him. Camp Pleasant The colored people of this city can now show their appreciation and patriotism by responding to the appeal made by the committee to support Camp Pleasant, which has been in operation for three years. The support of this camp has come from the white citizens of this city. There are 90,000 colored people in this city, and it is about time that they support something for the support of the more unfortunate of the race. Read the appeal elsewhere in this week's Bee. Dr. S. S. Corrothers is now the president of this organization. Contributions may be left at this office. Attorney Geo. Cornelius Scurlock. Among those who successfully passed the recent examination for the bar and admitted to practice before the courts of the District of Columbia was Mr. George C. Scurlock, of North Carolina. Before coming to Washington he was a prominent leader in his State, having entered politics at 17 and continued until the rise of White Lilyism. Since that time, while loyal to the Republican party, he does not stand for the elimination of colored men from all participation in the party organization. In 1890 he was the Republican nominee for Congress from his district, polling nearly the entire Republican vote in an off year, of 12,000. In 1891 was appointed postmaster of his home city by President Harrison, and in 1892 was a delegate to the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis. For several years he was a clerk in the Pension Office. M. Returning to North Carolina, he resumed business in which he was engaged before coming to this city. Giving that up, he became the editor and manager of The North Carolina Sun, which he conducted for several years. Relinquishing that post, he returned to Washington in 1897, and was appointed to a position in one of the Government departments. In early life he served as an apprentice and learned the trade of blacksmith, and carried on a business for himself. He is the Elihu Burrett of the race. Mr. Scurlock will enter at once upon the practice of the law and at the same time may contribute to the press his views on public questions. The Bee has known him for a number of years. He is unassuming and quiet in his manner and bearing, and stands well with the people. As a speaker he is ready and deliberate, and with a well matured mind and experience and a knowledge of men and affairs generally, he comes to the bar well equipped for the duties and responsibilities that he may be called upon to face. Insulting to the Committee The most insulting act that has yet been offered to the local medical committee was by the Mu-So-Lit Club. It is said that the members of this club have decided to tender the visiting physicians a smoker one evening during the festivities, but no free invitations have been extended to the medical committee or the resident physicians. It is rumored that many of the resident physicians take the act of the Mu-So-Lit Club as a presumptuous insult, when it is considered that the visiting physicians are the guests of the resident physicians and not the guests of this club. Just what right the club has to entertain a body of medical men who are not the guests of this club, is a question that is being largely discussed by the medical men of the city. The medical association is not a political organization, while they claim that the Mu-So-Lit Club is a quasi social-political institution purely. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., S. DR.

MARSHALL, President of the Medicochirurgical Society of the District of Columbia. Member of the Executive Board of the N. M. A. and Chairman of the Public Comfort Committee. THE SCHOOLS WILL OPPOSE BRUCE. A Monster Public Meeting to be Held. A Monster Public Meeting to be Heard. The citizens of this city are preparing to hold a monster public meeting and to petition Congress for a change in the colored superintendency of the colored schools. Protest after protest they claim has been filed with the super school officers and attention seems to be paid to them. Their next move, it is claimed in connection with the monster petition, is to file a protest in the Senate and House District Committees. The citizens of Deanwood, D. C., are up in arms at the transfer and demotion of Miss Kinner, who was marked E over the recommendation of Supervising Principal Montgomery. Not in the history of the public schools has ever such an act of injustice been perpetrated. No teacher in the public schools seems to be safe under the present negro regime. Favoritism and discrimination seem to be the prevailing features in the colored schools. There is a popular demand for the reappointment of Prof. Montgomery to the assistant superintendentship of the colored schools. Prof. Montgomery's appointment would certainly restore peace and success in the colored schools. The citizens of Deanwood, D. C., have filed their protest with President Cox, and it is believed that their petition will be given consideration. The colored public schools have never been in such condition as they have been for two or three years. The normal schools are in a condition that should be remedied. It is the firm belief of the people that the Board of Education will listen to the appeals of the people and give the people relief. Dr. Charles H. Marshall. During the coming week we will have a session of the National Medical Convention, composed of physicians, dentists and pharmacists from all parts of the country, and among the local physicians who are making every effort to make this session the most profitable in its history, none stands out more prominently than the chairman of the public comfort committee, Dr. Chas. H. Marshall. For several weeks he has exerted himself to make it pleasant for the visiting delegates. He has the interests of the profession at heart, and being so much beliked by the citizens he has been able to secure accommodations for the delegates in the most desirable houses. He has for so many years been identified with the professional and business interests of the city that he now enjoys the entire confidence of the profession. Dr. Marshall is an unassuming man of broad experience, an affable disposition, and a man upon whom the people say that you may rely. It is the consensus of opinion that the contest for the presidency will be so warm that many are betting on Dr. Marshall as the successful dark horse. There is an undercurrent at work which tends to land the Doctor in the presidency. He is not a candidate, however, and would not raise his hand to secure it, but his friends, who are many, are of the opinion that he would make an ideal presiding officer of the medical association. As chairman of the public comfort committee, no man is working harder to make the stay of the visitors to the city of magnificent distances than Dr. Chas. H. Marshall. His friends are numerous, and while they are not urging his candidacy, they think that he would fill the bill. S H. MARSHALL, Society of the District of Columbia, of the N. M. A. and Chairman of the GENERAL PROSPERITY Mr. Thomas Dissente—The Colored Population Excluded. To the Editor of the Washington Bee: As a rule I abjure controversy, but your esteemed rival, the Washington Times, in its issue of August 5, so unfairly states one conclusion from the figures of the "Capital's Prosperity" that I am forced to ask for information. When the Times says "That the 125,000 permanent white population, exclusive of government employees, has benefited from a steady and substantial development of commercial and industrial interests," it deliberately excludes the 75,000 permanent colored population, which has likewise benefited. Is that fair? That is has not equally benefited may be due to the low wages received for similar work and for all work, as well as to the fact that its ignorance and backwardness make it the group to be preyed upon. The Times does not state what part of the savings account is that of the colored population. Nor does it say that so much of the general prosperity is due to the fact that the colored population rents at greatly advanced prices and tries to buy at doubtful valuation the abandoned houses of those who move to more exclusive neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. Is not that a fact? Horses, wagons, automobiles, and practically every other useful and necessary article has a double value here because of the presence of that same 75,000 omitted from the record by the Times. Not only does the permanent colored population make it possible for the white population to have greater and steadier prosperity, but the cheapness of its labor makes it possible for the more prosperous to live in neighborhoods and houses which would cost half as much again if built by white labor at union rates. Would the Times willingly lose for one year the money return in service, purchase price and advertisements which comes to it by reason of the 75,000 permanent colored population, provided it could get no compensatory condition? CHAS. M. THOMAS, Aug. 9, 1910. 1341 T St. N. W. To the Generous Colored Friends and Patriotic Organizations of the City: There is now being conducted at Oxen Hill, Md., a summer home known as Camp Pleasant, in order to afford an outing for fortunate colored mothers and children. It was estimated that about $1,000 would cover the expense of maintaining this camp. The Associated Charities agreed to contribute $500, with the understanding that the colored citizens of the District of Columbia would raise a like sum. The camp has been in progress for seven weeks, and up to date about 300 mothers and children have been given an outing. Up to this writing only a few of our colored churches and citizens have contributed. We now ask that all friends and organizations who are in sympathy with the spirit and purpose of this movement would send us a contribution. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, and receipts sent from the home office, John Joy Edson, treasurer, 923 H street northwest, or to Rev. S. L. Corrothers, 1517 Sixth street northwest, chairman.

The Medical Association The Medical Association. 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 medical staff 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 500 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 an 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, etc. Also watch the Journal of N. M. A. for further notice, program, instruction, etc. You are earnestly requested and urged, to attend.

The Washington Bee, William Calvin Chase, editor, calls the negro press meeting which is to be held in New York next week, a fake, and says that the president of the alleged association neither owns nor edits a paper; he writes for the press, but is not a bona-fide editor. A real press association composed of bona-fide editors of colored papers would fill a long-felt want. The Fake. Bro. Chase, editor of The Washington Bee, is doing the National Negro Press Association, of which R. W. Thompson is president, an injustice by calling it a "fake." This association was duly and regularly organized at the time of the meeting of the National Negro Business League held at Louisville, Ky., last year; and it is under the auspices of and an auxiliary to the National Negro Business League and is recognized by it. Mr. Thompson was elected president by editors, and he is at the head of a legitimate institution. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS (By Miss J. C. Mason.)

Under (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 facts? 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.

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.

The attitude of the haunous to medical practitioners has changed much of recent years. Twenty or 30 years ago no Turkish woman would ever have submitted to a physical examination by a doctor. All he could have persuaded her to do would be to show him her tongue through a rent in the yashmak or let him touch her pulse from behind a heavy curtain and in presence, of course, of an argus-eyed eunuch or old female slave. Any attempt to apply a stethoscope to the chest would have been spurned as an impertinent presumption of western "barbarism." No matter how severe the illness the medical man could not go beyond certain strict limits of Islamic usage and traditional custom. Even in cases of imminent danger to life these scanty limits were never allowed to be overstepped, and the belief in the incantations of a priest and the house remedies of old, ignorant and superstitious women held unlimited sway and was always greater than the faith in the efficacy of medical skill and science. This is now changing, and changing rapidly. There are of course still many exceptions where antiquated views and conceptions are fanatically adhered to and practised, but these become rarer and rarer. with each advancing year. Many Turkish women will now when ill voluntarily call on a medical practitioner and never hesitate to submit themselves to a thorough physical examination. The general public opinion on these matters among the Turks is fast altering for the better and only in very rare cases is there now any difficulty at all raised as to letting the hanoum submit to an examination with stethoscope or other instrument. In the Chorus. What's it like to be in the chorus? "Perfectly fascinating!" thinks the shopgirl as she measures off another yard of percale and pictures herself in pink tights. "Awful!" remarks the prima donna with a look of disgust that forbids all reference to her own days among the spear carriers. "Remunerative," suggests the cynic, recalling the inexhaustible supply of Pittsburgh millionaires ready to thrust riches upon the airy little falries of the ballet. "Dangerous," urges the moralist, with his mind on stage entrances and champagne suppers. "Imposselblo!" snaps the woman in society. "A foothold on the ladder to fame," declares the manager, wisely. "Great!" says the chorus girl. That is translating freely into her own language. It's great if she happens to be in right with an easy berth in a good company. But if she's lashed to a beam outfit where she has to hustle to corral three squares a day, it's rotten. Women Get Wireless Fever Women who are now employed as operators in the "wire" companies are getting the wireless fever. Many are experimenting with home made apparatus, while others besiege the commercial wireless companies for jobs. The manager of one Chicago station says he has had to refuse a number of women applicants in the last few months. "They come," he says, "with only a smattering of the knowledge necessary, and are indignant when refused jobs as operators. Even the few who have acquired sufficient skill I will not employ because they are too prone to be temperamental and under the tension which the operators' work would acquire 'nerve' too quickly. "There is perhaps only one woman who is a wireless operator on a boat. She is on one of the Pacific boats running between San Francisco and Seattle." Making a Railway Man Work. E. J. Naylor, general agent of the Hawley lines, at Los Angeles, was in the city last week on business, and while on his way to the Flood building Thursday left his suitcase in the office of the Canadian Pacific. The boys in the office loaded it with lead pipe, and when Naylor got the suitcase later in the afternoon and walked with it to the Manx hotel nearly every railroad man on the row walked behind and watched the struggle. "Gee, I only got about two collars and three ties in this, but it is heavy!" he said when he was about three blocks from the Manx. "Well, it gets heavier the longer you pack it," volunteered J. R. Holcomb of the Kansas City, Mexico & Ordent. Naylor didn't open the grip until the next day, and since that time he has been looking for the Canadian Pacific agents with a piece of lead pipe in his hand.—San Francisco Call. Emigration of Children From England. The other day two large parties of children left Liverpool by the Allan Inner Corsican, Captain Cook, for Quebec, says the London Times. One party, consisting of boys and girls, was from the Birt home, and the children were under the care of Miss Birt, who traveled in the ship. This lady has been engaged for 37 years in rescuing children and has taken out over 6,000 and settled them in the Dominion of Canada. The party in the Corsican was the eighty-first which has gone out under the auspices of the home. DROPPED IN AT RIGHT TIME Burglar's Opportune Visit Enabled Woman to Rid Herself of Much Undesirable "Truck." The burglar hesitated. Back of him was a sheer drop of 25 feet to the ground. In front of him was a determined woman, grasping in her hand a huge revolver. She covered him steadily. "I won't shoot," she said, "if you will remain still." She advanced upon him and poking the muzzle of the gun in his face reached into his pocket and pulled out his revolver. "Come in." The burglar obediently stepped inside the room. All his courage was gone. "Sit down," said the woman. He sat down. She got a huge ball of cord from her bureau and spent the next 20 minutes in tying him up. Then she pointed out of the window. "Is that your wagon out there behind the barn?" "Yes, ma'am." The woman called her husband, who was hiding behind the baby's crib in the next room. "Here, John," she said, "take some of this furniture out." John came in and got to work. The burglar watched with curious eyes. Suddenly his face blanched. He looked out of the window and saw in the light of the moon what John was carrying. "What are you doing to me?" he asked. The woman began cutting his cords, "I'm going to load you up with all of the old eyesores that we have had in the house for these many years," she said, merrily—"all the furniture presented to us at Christmas by kind-hearted relatives, all the prizes we have taken at card parties, all the family portraits—everything that we have been simply dying to get rid of."—Life. Good Turn by the Ol' Clo' Man. "That old clothes man back on the corner just now saved me the price of a new suit," remarked a young business man yesterday, on his way down Euclid avenue past the old Arcade. "Nope. Guess again. I didn't sell him anything and I haven't any idea of buying a suit of second-hand clothes from him. But until I walked by him just then I was of the opinion that I would have to lay aside this last summer's suit I've been wearing and pay forty or fifty dollars for a new one. Now I've changed my mind. That fellow on the corner asked me: 'Got any ol' clo's to sell, mister?' I told him I didn't, and our conversation ended right there. But it was enough. He wouldn't ask a seedy-looking man if he had any old clothes for sale, would he? Naturally he'd think a shabbily-dressed person was wearing about the only clothes he owned and wouldn't want to part with those. The ones these old clothes people like to deal with are the dressy ducks—the boys that got a new suit every little while and dispose of the old ones for little or nothing. He must have thought I was that sort. So I judge this suit must stack up pretty well. I'll just make it do this summer for every day and take that forty or fifty dollars out of one pocket and put it in another."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Poor Boy's Opportunity. The Poor Boy's Opportunity. Once more we realize that our resources, our true resources of strength and of greatness, are not to be sought for in mine or field, but reside in man. When we take account of these resources, we find once more impressing upon us that we are not to look exclusively to the favore dhome of exceptional opportunity, to sheltered childhood, to youth blessed with extraordinary advantages, to those upon whom fortune has smiled and who are led along the paths of life with constant counsel and ready inspiration. But we must take all America within our view—the homes of the poor, the unfortunate, those who seem thrust aside from the fair avenues of opportunity, those upon whom it would seem a blight had rested at the very beginning of their career. Probably today in some lowly home, where there is the hardest work to achieve even a decent support, where some little lad is looking out on life apparently without a chance, is the future leader of the great people of this nation.—Governor Hughes of New York, in Leslie's. He Lliked Life Term Best. He was one of Magistrate Gallagher's "regular" prisoners. His ready tongue had generally contrived to get him off with a reprimand, but one day the magistrate, holding the scales of justice from the desk in the Fifteenth and Vine streets police station, decided to take severer measures. "You'll take the pledge or go to the house of correction," he told the apparently penitent prisoner. "Which?" "Pledge for life?" said the man. "Well," said the magistrate, leniently, "better make it for a year first. Then you can renew it." "Oh, that's all right," the prisoner remarked, cheerfully. "I always take it for life."—Philadelphia Times. Alwaya Late. They had gone to a theater at eight and found it empty. The people strolled in about half after, and by nine the house was filled.

Unfortunate Series of Incidents the Result of Future King of Westphalia's Desire for Just "One More Night." Previous to his elevation to the sovereignty, Jerome Bonaparte had formed a friendship with some young authors at that time in vogue for their wit and reckless gayety. On the evening after his nomination to the crown of Westphalia he met two of his jovial companions just as he was leaving the theater. "My dear fellows," said he, "I am delighted to see you. I suppose you know that I have been created king of Westphalia" "Yes, alre, and permit us to be among the first—" "Eh, what! You are ceremonious, methinks; that might pass were I surrounded by my court, but at present away with form and let us be off to supper." Upon this Jerome took his friends to one of the best restaurateurs in the Palais Royal. The three chatted and laughed, and said and did a thousand of those foolish things which when unpremeditated are so delightful. It may be supposed that the conversation was not kept up without drinking. When the wine they had drunk began to take effect, "My good friends," said Jerome, "why should we quit each each other? If you approve of my proposal you shall accompany me. You, C—, shall be my secretary; as for you, P—, who are fond of books, I appoint you my librarian." The arrangement was accepted and ratified over a fresh bottle of champagne. At length the party began to think of leaving, and accordingly called for the bill. Jerome produced his purse, but the king of Westphalia could only find two louls, which formed but a small portion of 200f., the amount of the bill. The new dignitaries, by clubbing their wealth, could only muster about 3f. What was to be done? At one o'clock in the morning where could resources be found? They determined to send for the master of the house and acquaint him how matters stood. He seemed to take the frolle in good part, and merely requested to know their names. Having told him, the restaurateur set his customers down as sharpers, and threatened to send for the commissary of police. This alarmed Jerome, who, seeing that the restaurateur doubted them, handed over his watch in payment. This watch had been a present from Napoleon, and on the back was the emperor's clipher in brilliants. On examining the watch the restaurateur concluded that it had been stolen, and took it to the commissary of police. The latter, recognizing the imperial cipher, ran with it to the prefect. The prefect flew to the minister of the interior, and he in turn went to the emperor at St. Cloud. Next morning the Moniteur contained an ordinance in which Jerome was ordered to Westphalla at once, and prohibited from conferring any appointments till his arrival at his capital. Best Way to Telephone. "When I telephone while sitting, as I customarily do," said a woman who telephones a good deal, "I habitually speak in a low tone, not very much above a whitspier; when I telephone standing up I don't shriek exactly, but I find myself always speaking in a loud tone. I suppose the reason for these things is simple enough. When I am sitting I am comfortable and entirely at ease bodily and inclined to do things easily, and then I can adjust the telephone to exactly the most convenient height and angle and speak into it quite without effort; it is all very easy, whereas when I have to stand at a telephone some effort is required in that I am more or less rigid to start with, and then the telephone may be one fixed in position. I may have to bend my face more or less up or down to the transmitter, to stand in a position more or less constrained, and then when I come to speak I always find myself, as you might say, shouting into the telephone. It is my experience that I make myself heard more surely when sitting and telephoning as I do then, easily and in a low tone." Wrong Name for a Card Sharp. When John A. Strosnider was arraigned before United States Commissioner Morle in Brooklyn, charged with alding young Coleman to rob the National City bank of Cambridge, Mass., of a large amount of money, a policeman of German extraction said: "That's the first time I've heard a card sharp called by that name. The name was surely Strohschnelder once on a time and was Americanized into what it is now. Strohschnelder is German for straw cutter, but whenever Germans play cards they have only one name for the man who makes unpardonable mistakes, who trumps his partner's ace, who can't count 18 and who disregards rules, and that name is 'Strohschnelder.' If I were in the card business I'd never have any confidence in a man with that nama." Breaking It to Him. "Mr. Weerlus, the last time you were here you forgot your watch charm and went away without it." "Oh, I can get that any time, Miss Nona." "Perhaps you'd better take it now, though. It may—er—be a long time, you know, before you come again."

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

Who is the knocker? The knocker is the individual who is on the outside making ugly faces at those who are on the inside controlling the affairs of state. The political knocker is the most dangerous of all knockers. He is never satisfied. He dislikes to see his successful competitor in positions of power and trust. If he is in office, the knocker is knocking at him. If he is seeking office, the knocker is doing all in his power to impede his success The knocker is also an individual who is never happy. He is found in all States, cities and enterprises. The successful individual is generally knocked by the knocker. The knocker takes the most flimsy pretext to get after the successful individual. If the individual succeeds in anything well, the knocker will find some excuse to knock him. If the individual is successful with his enterprise, the knocker will manufacture a pretext to destroy his enterprise. There are knockers among all races and nationalities. Some knockers knock harder than others and knock at anything or individuals. In all professions you will find the knocker. The legal knocker is the most amusing of all the knockers. The lawyer, is the most dangerous knocker when he knocks his brother lawyer. The Bee will first take up the colored lawyer as knocker, because he is known better to the editor than the white man in the legal profession. The Bee has come in contact with the colored legal knocker who practices law in the courts. He is an adept in knocking his brother lawyer. If one colored lawyer has a case and the other can't get one, the legal failure, otherwise the knocker, will say all kinds of bad things against his legal brother to his clients. The Bee has heard certain colored lawyers tell the clients of others that this lawyer is dead, out of town or sick, especially if the client is looking for a certain lawyer. If one is retained in a case and the other is asked to go in and help him, the lawyer who has the case first dislikes to see his brother associated with him, although the fee doesn't come out of the knocker's pocket. This kind of practice often obtains among the colored attorneys. If a person is looking for a lawyer and he is asked where he can be found, the client is told that the lawyer who he is looking for is not practicing law now, or that he has left town, or that he is no lawyer, or that the knocker will take the case and guarantee an acquittal. There are some very treacherous men in the legal profession whose steck in trade is to destroy the usefulness of his brother lawyer if he can. The Bee hears such complaints daily coming from some of the most reputable colored lawyers at the bar. This class of knockers are the most dangerous and are menaces to society. It is the constant complaint of certain colored lawyers of honor that complaints come from clients of the knocks of their brother lawyers. The medical profession is different. While there are a few knockouts among the medical men, there is less knocking in this profession than there is in the law. Just why this is so The Bee is unable to state. The knocker is generally intoxicated with prejudice and jealousy, and until these elements of human nature are elimi- nated the world will never get rid of the knocker. THE COLORED POLITI- CIAN. The passing of the colored politician left no traces of his existence upon the political field in which the white Republicans have control. The colored politician is no more. He is a nonenity in the body politic of to-day; he is not a part of the political equation. He is not invited to the councils of the party. The white politician is the boss of the political arena. He is the ring-master and the colored politician is not even a part of the circus. His face is not seen anywhere at all. He is occasionally selected to fill some office as a quietus on political revolutions in the great body politic. To-day where does he stand and what is his political status? Can any political mathematician calculate the standing of the colored politician? His standing at the White House is of such a character that he fails to convince the Chief Executive that he has a constituency behind him that demonstrates force. Yes, the colored politician is no more. He is not needed. He is not consulted. In States where he holds the balance of power he fails to use it. He doesn't know his power. He is without a leader, and if he has one this leader hasn't got sense enough to act. If he is troublesome, the quiet man, the apologist, is appointed; this quiets the leader. He becomes non plus and powerless while the apologist gets the plums. The passing of the colored politician has wrought disaster to the masses of colored Americans. Like Othello, "his occupation is gone." His Mouthpiece (From the Indianapolis Freeman.) The Washington Bee is again making itself ridiculous by attempting to pose as the mouthpiece of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Indeed, the "Tuskegee Wizard" needs to pray to be delivered from his bumptious "friend" at the Nation's Capital. Again the Indianapolis face-scraper is jealous of The Bee, and says that it is posing as the mouthpiece of Mr. Washington. Without assuming to be Mr. Washington's mouthpiece, whenever the American readers want the truth about Mr. Washington and whatever he doesn't care to say himself, they will always find it in The Bee, the Indianapolis barber to the con-will stick to face-shaving and his Indianapolis barber-shop. The Bee will attend to its business at trary notwithstanding. If Knox this end. The Bee wonders if Knox knows when he went to Louisville, Ky., several years ago, it was the time when the late Frederick Douglass was elected president of the National convention called there? Ho was seen upon one of the public streets, and a farmer asked him to be introduced to you? The moment your mouth flew open and you uttered two or three sentences, the farmer looked up at you with surprise and said: "I beg pardon; I thought I was talking to someone." If this face-scraper will only keep his mouth closed the people will have a better opinion of him. THE MEDICAL CONVENTION There are in this city some of the most talented and accomplished physicians connected with Medical Association that can be found anywhere in the United States. Information reaches this office that there will be a scramble for the presidency of this learned and well-organized association. The Bee would advise that the candidates, so far as this city is concerned, get together and see who' is the choice of the majority of the local association, and then present a strong front in the convention. Aside from a man being a good physician, he should be a good parliamentarian and strong presiding officer. The medical profession in this city is a strong institution. Many of the physicians in fact, all of them, have a large and lucrative practice. The citizens, under the chairmanship of Judge Robert H. Terrell and the Medical Committee, will no doubt give the visiting physicians a royal reception. The Bee extends its congratulations to the committees and hopes that the visitors will not be disappointed. The Face-Scraper. (From the Indianapolis Freeman.) The National Negro Press Association is managing to get along without the support of the "bonnehead" editor of The Washington Bee. The Indianapolis Face-Scraper, George L. Knox, who is an expert barber, and sometimes calls himself managing editor and publisher of a paper called the Indianapolis Freeman, tries to get smart, as will be seen by an excerpt from that paper. Knox is too ignorant to be an editor, but he is of the opinion that he is handsome. One would take him for a statesman if he could be seen two miles away. The nearer you approach him the more he resembles a face-scraper, otherwise a tonsorial artist. He alternates between his barber-shop and his newspaper office, and he is convinced that he is a better barber than he is an editor. The so-called president of the fake Press Association is connected with this face-scraper as a correspondent, and, as The Bee said before, it is the tail leading the head. Knox was at one time a candidate for Congress. What got it into his head that he would make a Congressman no one knows but Knox. He must have become infatuated with his ignorance and been intoxicated by his vanity or a visionary thought that he was handsome. HIS SUCCESS. If there is one man in this country who deserves the commendation and plaudits of the people it it Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C. A report comes from Durham, N. C., that the National Religious School at Durham, N. C., has met with greater success than the promoters had anticipated. Single handed and alone; Dr. Shepard conceived an idea that the colored Americans in the South needed to be taught something that would not only be a benefit to them, but an education which would be new and lasting. The standard of the Southern colored schools will be raised, we understand, and the Durham school will be the medium by which the standard of the schools will be raised. The best citizens of Durham, N. C., irrespective of politics, are a unit in supporting this new propaganda of Dr. Shepard. They all declare in one voice that he has done more in bringing the best people of the country there than any white or colored man in the State. Dr. Shepard has not only the respect of the people of Durham, but he has the respect and confidence of the people of the entire State. He is a refined and polished gentleman. He understands the people and what they need. He has a family that is a jewel to any man, whom he loves, honors and respects. His standing, influence and worth are cherished by the entire State, and The Bee predicts for this rising Demosthanese a most brilliant and successful future. THE HOWARD THEATER. The Howard Theater, corner 7th and T streets northwest, will open next Monday night, and from all reports, Washington's most exclusive society will attend the opening performance. For years the people have anxiously been waiting to show their appreciation to patronize a first-class theatrical house. The time has come, and next Monday night is the time set apart for the people to show their appreciation. The Howard Theater is far superior to any theater in the city of Washington, and The Bee is confident that the people will appreciate Messrs. Benedict and Rotherthal for their liberality in giving the people such a playhouse. This is the people's theater, because there will be no discrimination. Everybody will be entertained alike. The astute manager, Mr. W. H. Smith, is a man of superior ability and fine parts. He has come to manage this theater like he handled the great Pekin, of Chicago, Ill. Some of the finest plays in the country will be presented at this theater. Watch The Bee for dates and plays. DR. CARANISS News has reached us that there is great interest being manifested in the candidacy for president of the National Medical Association, which convenes in this city Aug. 23-25, 1910. Of the half-dozen candidates for this position it is difficult to say which one will carry off the honor. Among them we hear that Dr. George W. Cabananis is aspiring for this position. We bespeak for Dr. Cabananis all the qualities necessary in a man to be placed at the head of an institution of this kind, and we venture the assertion that, if chosen by the National Medical Association as its president, no mistake will be made. There is no man in this country better qualified for the position, if elected, than Dr. Cabananis. He is genial and a most agreeable member of the medical profession. The Bee will have more to say next week. NEW CARRIAGES. Among the eminent physicians in the city who have purchased new automobiles are: Dr. W. J. Howard, Dr. A. M. Curtis and Dr. George W. Cabanjiss. All these physicians have purchased first-class automobiles. Dr. Howard is one of the young physicians who is making rapid progress in his profession. Dr. Chas. H. Marshall has also purchased a new automobile. The Bee congratulates these progressive physicians. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Why are colored prisoners who are sent to the workhouse compelled to be brought through the public streets in stripes and the white prisoners are allowed to remain in and around the workhouse? Is the color line to be drawn even among workhouse prisoners? Sunday. August 28th. Rev. Dr. Watson will preach Sunday morning, August 28, at 11 o'clock, A.M., at the 15th street Presbyterian Church. Dr. Brown is a fine pulpit orator and a logical reasoner. PROGRAM OF NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE, NEW YORK, AUGUST 17, 18, 19. At the Palm Garden, 150 East 88th Street, near Lexington Avenue.

Perhaps the most startling child story-extant, however, comes from the family of a famous Boston educator, whose children all are distinguished by an unusual degree of originality. Several boys and girls of various ages have been adopted into this family, so the sudden appearance of new and well-grown associates seems to the younger members quite natural. This rather unusual attitude toward family growth worked out oddly a year or two ago, upon the occasion of the Christmas play, which the little ones annually write, rehearse and produce, quite without adult assistance, for their parents. The plot of the play included the financial redemption of a highly worthy couple—this being an extremely cultured and sociologically learned yet natural group of youngsters—by the good luck of the husband, played by an eager urchin of seven, in the gold fields of Alaska. The happy bridegroom returned to his weeping bride of a year in the nick of time, bearing with him a huge and heavy bag of gold. The bride, in a neat speech, revealed to him the poverty-striken, hungry straits to which she had been reduced, and warmly commended his skill and industry in gold finding. Then, rising with a proud and modest air, she gently informed him: "And I, meanwhile, have not been idle!"—and, drawing a convenient curtain, disclosed an assorted group of laughing boys and girls as "Our children, dear!" The audience, not unnaturally, rocked with helpless laughter, -but those dear little lads and lasses still are wondering why. VALUE OF PROPERTY RIGHTS How One Small Boy Was Cured of Destructive Propenities by a Lasting Lesson. Small boys are very apt to fall to recognize the value of others' property. My small son, in company with a playmate, in a game used the lights in a neighbor's enhouse for a target. The owner of the damaged property visited both homes, where the culprits hld in dismay, and collected damages. Here was a valuable opportunity for a lasting lesson. I called my boy to me, and we talked the matter over, he having full chance to explain his side of the case. Then the mischief he had wrought and the reputation it might give him were gravely discussed. He voluntarily offered to refund the amount of his part of the damage out of his small savings until full restitution was made. This was finally agreed upon, and here came the hard part for the boy. His pocket money allowance was 25 cents a week, which was frequently reduced by fines for ill-temper or other sundry breaches of etiquette or duty. It took him seven weeks to get out of debt. When the last cent was paid, he gave a sigh of relief, and said: "There, I'll never destroy anything again as long as I live."—Harper's Bazar. 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, 1910. For further information address the President, National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C. READ THE BEE. How they do drive and rush and sweet to be sure; falling over each other, trampling each other down in their mad struggle to get ahead in the pursuit of the round, rolling dollar, just beyond the reach of their grasping claws. How they run up the stairs of the elevated railroads! How they cannot be persuaded—any of 'em—to wait for the next surface car, but cling perilously to the step and engage the doorways! How they pack and jam the subway stairs and platforms in a surging mob, shouldering like football players, crushing little children, subjecting men and women alike to the most arrant outrages in the intrusion upon each other. How busy, how hurried they are. There is not time enough in the day for them; they are driven by whips of worse than scorpions, and they leap and run, and scourge, breathless and panting, in their strife for precedence, the New York Evening Sun says. And yet—several thousand persons, men, women and boys, on their hurried way to their frantic toll recently, stopped for an hour or two or three to gape at the empty air in front of the city hall, because it had been advertised that a man would start some time-today from that spot and walk to California. It is heaven's mercy that no cat happened to get up a tree anywhere in town last night, nor any dog was heard yelping at a closed window, nor any bird with a broken wing was to be seen anywhere, nor any man started to mend a chimney or a lofty flagstaff. If any or all of these tremendous cataclysms had occurred at the same time with the pedestrian's departure half the working population of New York might have been smitten motionless, and stood staring for hours in the effort to quench their magnificent curiosity. USE FOR BLOTTING PAPER In Germany it Is Made to Take the Place of Waste for Cleaning In Germany blotting paper is used to clean machinery. Tow, woolen refuse, sponge, cloths and jute waste are the materials usually employed for the cleaning of machinery and parts of engines which are solled by dust and lubricating substances. The better varieties of cotton waste are very good for scouring purposes, but the cheaper grades are charged with dust, and in using them a sponge cloth, specially manufactured for the purpose, is employed. In using blotting paper for scouring purposes the use of cotton waste is decreased and the sponge cloths are entirely dispensed with. On an average the German workman received under the former system 250 grams of cotton waste, one new sponge cloth and one or two renovated ones every week. Now he is supplied with 150 grams of cotton waste, and about eight or ten sheets of blotting paper, at a cost of $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents, or one-third the cost of the cotton waste. The paper is not only cheaper, but it does not sell the machinery with fibers and dust, as do the woolen refuse and the sponge cloths. It is also less combustible than other cleaning materials, and if it should be caught in the machinery while engines in motion are being cleaned it tears easily and the workers run no risk of having their hands drawn into the machinery.—Harper's Weekly. Gen. Logan and Staff. Just before the capture of Savannah, General Logan with two or three of his staff entered the depot at Chicago one fine morning to take a car east on his way to join his command. The general, being a short distance in advance of the others, stepped up on the platform of a car and was about to enter it, but was stopped by an Irishman with "You will not be goin' in there." "Why, not, sir?" says the general. "Bekase this is a leddies' caer and no gentlemen'll be goin' in there without a leddy. There's wan sate in that caer over there, if yees want it" t the same time pointing to it. "Yes, I see there is one seat, but what shall I do with my staff?" "Oh, bother your 'staff'!" was the petulant reply. "Go you and take the sate and stick your staff out of the windy." Saw the Light. "The subject of tips—made in Europe and closely imitated in the United States—always furnishes something new to the American tourist," said a man just back from Europe. "I had some clothes made in London. The tailor came to my hotel with a boy who carried his parcel, to 'have a fit.' He wore a high hat and a prince Albert coat, and but for his shoes would have passed for well dressed. After the fit was (river and the garments were packed up he was leaving the apartment when our English servant reminded me of the tip. I was afraid and, if I had overcome the fear, did not know the limit, and asked the servant to perform the operation. When they had gone I was told: 'You want your clothes to fit, sir, don't you?' And I saw the light." An Expert Accountant. An Expert Accountant. Mrs. Newly—Don't you like my new hat, dearest? Newly—Yes-s, it's all right. Mrs. Newly—Well, I bought it on your account, dear!

Louis Jefferson, the manager of the Washington Steamboat Company, has been more than fair and just- to the people of Washington. The many secret and benevoletit organizations that attempted to boycott this com- pany last year and patronize one that didn’t care a penny for the colored people, find themselves eating crow this year. If Col. Jefferson had chose to be vindictive and mean, he had an excellent opportunity to raise prices this year, but instead of showing evil for evil, he has demonstrated a spirit of leniency and Christian charity. Had it not have been for him and his many white friends, the colored peo- ple would not have had a pleasure ‘boat this year. NEW DEPUTY CORONER. Dr. Charles S.

There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923— and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colon- ized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. , THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST- CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hun- dreds of them in the National Capital, can ob- tain business quarters. .

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.

There isnot one dollar of Promotion Stoek, consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President ~ down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per shara for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price ef-steck 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 Lineoln 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 in- vested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the eity 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 shar> of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a single share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.co. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Baild- ing Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next aflot- ment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you arc urged to avail yourself of the present oppor- tunity 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 haye unbounded faith in the future af the Company. . They have invested THEIR hard earned money in it, and they advise yor to in- vest YOUR money side by side with theirs. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. The’ price of stock is $10.00 per share, pay- able $1.00 down and $1.00 per month for nine months upon each share subscribed for. = DO IT NOW. 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. . | We shall be glad at all times to give you any further information desired, and again invite you to join us in this enterprise. .

After many years of thought and meditation upon the subject, I have concluded to make an effort toward the erection of a monument to John Brown by the colored people. He was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, abolitionists that ever lived. We are nearing our half century of liberty, and we have as a race enjoyed and are still enjoying many great blessings as the result of the great efforts of those who through their kind sympathies for our rights and the lofty respect for righteousness in the sight of God started the abolition movement. The most conspicuous of these was John Brown. We have advanced very rapidly along some lines, in fact, along most lines, but I think we have been a little slow in doing some things. It seems to me to be our duty, and therefore it should be a pleasure to us, to honor one who has been so great an advocate of our rights and liberty. Since we expect to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the negro race in 1913, I believe it to be a suitable time for a monument to John Brown to be dedicated. I would also advocate that John Brown's life be taught in the homes and public schools of our race, that the younger generation of the present age and all those that are to follow may learn to know the life and works of this good man. There are many good lessons to be learned from the moral and religious life of John Brown. I do hope that all brothers who love liberty will see the wisdom in this move and lend me their aid and assistance. Alexander Hamilton Lee.

According to official report, there has been a great advance in iron ore production in the Mesada range in Minnesota shipments, increase being from 13,300,000 tons in 1902 to 28,000,000 tons in 1909. In Chadron, Nebr., fifteen engines, belonging to the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, were burned. The loss was estimated at about $400,000. Miss Ivy E.

More Afro-Americans have gone to Europe this year than ever before, on missions of pleasure, business and professions. It is said that once a year rich Spaniards have a real flower-strewn path prepared for them. This is during the Corpus Christi festival, when beautiful flower carpets are laid in the streets of Villa Orlava, Teneriff. In India it is literally a case of being a vegetarian or starving, for the Hindus of Hindustan, taking them almost as a whole, are so enjoined to their religion to abstain from eating meat.

And Though It Wasn't a Very Elegant Animal, and the Carriage Was Rickety, Little Girl Was Delighted. "If I only had a pony," began the little girl. Then she stopped. That pony had been the subject of her dreams and her waking thought for weeks. It had become so much of an all-absorbing subject that it had been frowned upon in the family circle, but suppression only made it more important. "If I only had a pony." The little girl had planned it all out. She had told father and mother the plans. Father had looked troubled and mother had seemed sorry. The little girl couldn't understand this, for to every little girl a father always has money, for he has means of earning it that little girls lack. "Some day," father had said, and on this foundation the little girl had built the dreams and the plans. It was all arranged. There was a nice shed to keep the pony in, and she had gathered grass and put it in a soap box in the stall in case the pony should come. She would drive to the office for father every day of the world, and when mother wanted something from the grocery in a hurry all she would have to do would be to jump on the pony or get into the little cart that comes with all ponies and get it in no time. How the other little girls would envy her as she drove past! Some of them she would let ride with her, but some of them—no, they were mean and shouldn't even come near the pony. Mother told father all these things at night, and father would do sums in mental arithmetic in the dark and postpone the solution to another time, for all sums cannot be worked out right away. Then mother took a hand. "John," she said, "can't we get some kind of a pony for her? Anything will do. She don't need a fancy pony and cart or anything like that—just something she can drive." Father said he would see. And a few days later he uroye home behind a small and very tame appearing animal that might have been called a horse by courtesy. The buggy, was old and rusty, but a coat of paint would settle that, and it would look fine. "My pony!," said the little girl. That was all. She could say nothing more for at least an hour, not even when she was taken up to the buggy and allowed to drive all by herself. "It cost only $20," father told mother when they were together that night, "and the buggy is about to fall to pieces, but she will have just as much fun out of it." "You're a dear boy," said mother, "Nonsease!" said father, gruffly. "She had to have it."—Galveston News. Eack In the Fold.

"To be a Biddle in Philadelphia is sort of like being an archangel in heaven—at least from the point of view of the Biddles. One of the women of that numerous family married a man who was quite her social equal, but who was afflicted with the somewhat commonplace name of —well, say Robinson. They have a little girl, who is now about six years old, and the child is never permitted to lose sight of the fact that her mother was a Biddle. In Sunday school a couple of weeks' ago her infantile mind was expected to grasp the problem of salvation according to the doctrine that we must be born again. When she reached home she ran to her mother, exclaiming: 'O, mother, I have such good news for you!' "What is it, dear?" asked her mother. "Why, when you die and go to heaven," explained the little girl, 'you'll be a Biddle again!'" Edward's Interest In Medicine In particular, the late King Edward was interested in the promotion of everything that might tend to bring the best aid of medicine and surgery within the reach of all, and in the wide employment of any scientific development which might mitigate or, haply, prevent the spread of dangerous disease. He was saved from typhoid fever death by the great Sir William Jenner in 1872. In 1902 Sir Frederick Treves, the great Scotch surgeon, operated on the king for an abscess around his appendix. In 1896 the king saved Guy's hospital from financial collapse. King Edward was Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and was the intimate friend of a number of doctors. Grasping the Situation. "I want to exchange these," sald the customer, handing a long box across the counter to the saleslady. "I never could wear anything that compressed me so, here," placing her two hands just above her waist line. "Oh," responded the saleslady, after deftly encircling the customer's waist with a tape measure, "you need a larger size. These are too tight across the diagram." Assertion Made That Farmers Would Find It to Their Interest to Profect Songsters. What may be done in the encouragement of naturally migratory song birds to remain north during the winter has been demonstrated at the farmhouse of George E. Hoxsle during the last winter, where a colony of 11 bluebirds have contentedly lived and apparently enjoyed their quarters in the bird houses where they were reared last summer. It is quite interesting to watch their modes of living, as their habits of procuring food have to be entirely different from what they are in summer. Every fairly pleasant morning by the time it is light they fly away and are not seen again until near sunset, when they return individually and go into the bird houses, several occupying one house, and all on the same building. Mr. Hoxsie has about his place 23 bird houses, all of which were occupied last season, there being two nests of bluebirds and 20 nests of stump swallows. Besides these there were raised about the buildings four nests of barn swallows, one nest of chimney swallows, and seven nests of eave swallows. As these would average four young birds to each nest, the number raised, with the old ones added, would make approximately 200 birds. Then there were within 600 feet of the house ten robin nests, one oriole, one waxwing, one house wren, two chippins, two ground sparrows and one king bird, making in all 18 nests, and with these young and old added would make a total of 300 insect-destroying songsters that were not only a continual joy, but a source of rare profit in the great number of gnats, jles, bugs and worms dally consumed. Mr. Hoxsle attributes a big yield of apples last season to the destruction by the birds of the insect pest that infects the apples from bloom to finish. If every farmer would put up a few suitable bird houses it would soon make a vast difference to the raising of farm products—Westerly Sun. Biggest Dam In the World. The secretary of the interior has directed the reclamation service to take up immediately the extensive preliminary work on the Rio Grande project in New Mexico and Texas, so that actual construction on the foundations of the Eagle dam shall be finished by July, 1911. The Rio Grande project, of which the Eagle dam is the most important engineering feature, will provide for the reclamation of 180,000 acres of land lying in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, in the valley where irrigation began before the discovery of America. It is estimated that the entire project will cost approximately $9,000,000. The Eagle dam as planned by the reclamation service will be one of the most remarkable structures of its kind in the world. It will be of rubble concrete, gravity type, with a maximum height of 265 feet, length of crest 1,400 feet, and will contain 410,000 cubic yards. The reservoir created by it will be the largest artificial body of water in the world, having a capacity of 2,538,000 acre feet, or enough water to cover that many acres a foot deep. Its capacity is nearly double that of the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and is considerably greater than that of the famous Assouan dam, constructed and recently enlarged by the English engineers on the Nile. Innuendo. When founded on fact, the mallecious hint often does vastly more harm than the full disclosure. It has about it an air of mystery which brings on a train of imaginings and begets groundless suspicions which would quickly melt into thin air were the whole truth known. More especially is this the case when the evil hint is blended with words of commendation. "He's an honest and a temperate man, etc., but—" Oh, that mean, vile, hypocritical little "but" that has severed so many friendships and befooled so many a fair name! Where so much of good is spoken and the mean little "but" uttered with a regretful sigh it often looks like real pity. In reality it is but decking out and garlanding the victim for the sacrifice. The encomium is used only as a means of attaining a dastardly purpose; "With colors fairer painting their foul ends." The slanderer is frequently but a clumsy blunderer. Not so the skilful innuendo man. He at least is no bungle. He is a real tactician, a genuine strategist. He is verily the refinement of cruelty. Couldn't Fool That Boy. An uptown minister, interested in social work, is still laughing over a recent experience with one of the small boys whose reclaiming into the paths of virtue he makes his special province. It was a freckle-faced little urchin whom he had in hand, the leader of a gang of tiny terrors. With a saucy leer, the youngster asked him what he "did for a livin'?" "I am a messenger of God," replied the minister, solemnly. The urchin looked skeptical. "Where's your bicycle?" he said. Philadelphia Times. Disapproves Noise In Charity. Clara Barton says that in her work she never solicited a penny, and she is inclined to criticize that kind of charity which adopts the brass-band style of procedure. She does not think it is the proper way in which to arouse the gymnathy and interest of the people. SET FUDGE ON HIGH THE STANDARD OF CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN SET. FemIninity 'In Absolute Accord on the Subject—Inventor Merits More Approval Than She Has Yet At last a standard of civilization—of feminine civilization—has been set, according to the Cleveland Leader. The masculine one has not as yet been reached, and the difficulty of arriving at a general standard is at once apparent. With femininity, however, there was little or no trouble. The sex unites upon a single test. That made, the examination is passed with honors. The case of the Misses Chang, whose father is the new Chinese minlater to the United States, is a most pertinent illustration. According to their governess, who has had a wide experience with outside barbarians, these young Chinese girls are the most intelligent students of English she has ever known and are showing marvelous results. Most significant of all, they have not only fallen a victim to fudge, but they are experts in its manufacture. Nothing more is needed to admit them to equality, social, moral, religious and intellectual, with the girls of this nation. They have become Americanized in the biggest sense of the word. And they will stand in the very first rank of feminine civilization, because the records show that they make fudge three times a day, and only heaven knows how often they nibble at it. It doesn't need this celestial approval to show the heavenly qualities of fudge. It is the most popular course in every fem'nine boarding school or college, and while not officially recognized in the curricula of public schools, it is there just the same. History knows that Dolly Madison invented ice cream, and a grateful world talks of raising a statue to her. But all that is known of the discoverer of fudge is the slight fact that she was a Vassar college girl and that she hit upon the deliclous compound, like so many other inventions of great moment to the world have been made, in a casual way. From another point of view her discovery is unique. Improvements have followed upon other inventions; the basic idea has been expanded and developed. But the original fudge is still the best of all, though there have been countless variants of it. To a mere man it seems that there is an unconscious ingratitude on the part of fudge lovers, not at all consistent with the big-hearted appreciation we expect from the sex. If there should be concerted action to discover the girl who invented the delicacy, and to reward her as she deserves, it would be better than a number of the other plans which women are agitating. And as a slight beginning, as an earnest of the reverence womankind should feel for fudge and its inventor, we would suggest that the exclamation: "Oh, fudge!" so common among co-eds, be dropped altogether or robbed of its sneering irreverence. After that, the pension for the discovery and then a statue. Why Ruskin's Wife Left Him. Here is an interesting, gilpimse of Ruskin's wife from Ada Garland's "Ruskin and Hils Circle:" A young, gay wife, fond of dress, excitement and social life, was no help-meet for him. He went with her to court, taking pride in the compliments paled her, but society bored him. She often went out alone. Not a wise thing to do, perhaps, but she was very young, and the home must have been dull—her husband absorbed in architecture and his spare time claimed by the old people. Materally, young Mrs. Ruskin had all she could deserts; was always well dressed, had splendid jewels and all the advantages of wealth. But her husband could do without her; Mrs. Ruskin senior, would not abdicate; the wife's position in the household must have been that of a handsome figurehead. She was conversing with some gentlemen, one of whom asked: "Where is Mr. Ruskin?" "Oh, Mr. Ruskin?" she replied. "He is with his mother; he ought to have married his mother!" Health Certificate for Hale Any woman who changes doctors no doubt has her own reasons for making the change. The woman in this case was threatened with fever. Her first question was: "Shall I lose my hair?" "Most likely," said the doctor. The next day he found a man with a pair of shears standing at the bedside. "Doctor," said the man. "I wish you would write out a certificate that this hair is healthy. The lady wants to sell it. "She says if she's bound to lose it anyhow in this spell of sickness she is in for she might as well get rid of it now while it will bring a good price. If she waits till it falls out nobody will buy it. Women with nice hair and not much money are smart enough nowadays to sell their hair as soon as they fall ill. Most dealers take it and no questions asked, but I'm too conscientious. I want a doctor's certificate every time in a case like this. I hope you'll be obliged." The doctor was not obliging, and the next day a new doctor was called in. ‘Thomas Walker, Attorney. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding Probate Court.

PERFUMES TUNA A REMARKABLE FISH Swaggering Musketeer of the Sea Ie the Largest of the Game or ~ Bony Fishes, Charles Frederick Holder, the California naturalist, thu. describes that remarkable fish the tuna: “The tuna is a pelagio fish, 8 free lance, an ocean rover, a sort of swaggering musketeer of the sea, the largest of what may be termed the game or bony fishes, attaining a maximum weight jof nearly 2,000 pounds and an approxt- mate length of fourteen feet or more, Such a fish is very exceptional, though Specimens weighing 1,500 pounds have been taken on the New England coast. I once entered a school in a dig Jaunch. The school divided to port and starboard as we passed through it, and I had a view of one or two fishes that appeared to be more than half as long as the boat. “These fishes apend the winter In ‘warm latitudes, and migrate north as tar ag the mouth of the St. Lawrencé. ‘They are found in the Mediterranean, ‘and north, to the Loffoden island; yet so far the efforts of anglers, ex- cept at Santa Catalina, have falled to take them with the rod. Even here there is a stretch of but eight miles ‘or s0 where they can be satisfactor- ily played and taken with rod and Teel. “This region Hes on the north side of Santa Catalina, from Avalon to ‘Long Point, and to the east as many more, facing the north, and generally smooth—more like a Scottish loch than a fishing ground 20 miles out to Bea.” TAMENESS OF A SEA LION Old Ben, Weighing Half a Ton, Is “Often Met on the Streets et Avalon: In describing the Islands lying off the southern coast of California Fred- erick Holder writes: “The feature which will really amaze the wanderer among the Channel Islands is the tameness of some animals. To meet a‘bull sea lion weighing approxtmate- ly half a ton on the main avenue of a town, 50 feet from the water, is a pos- sibility, of a startling nature, yet I have seen’ Old Ben, the head of the Santa Catalina sea lion rookery, on Crescent avenue, Avalon, surrounded by tourists who snapped thelr cam- éras at him with impunity. “At that time Ben could be Induced to come ashore when the lure was a fat, long-finned tuna, but one day he climbed upon the wharf, coming en. tirely up the steps, fotlowing the man with a fish. Then some unreasonable person made a threatening demonstra- tion; Ben started for the step, lost his ‘hold, slipped and fell, smashing them and wounding himself. For a long . time he remembered this, but gradual: ly bis faith in human beings has re ‘turned. “He ts good-tempered and never at tempts to bite. But he is a savage dJooking animal, and when he comes leaping up on the boat landing, driving off women and children by mere ferocity of appearance, and seizing their fish, as he didrecently, he makes a very clever imitation of a ferocious Dbheact.” A New One.
