VOL.XX1 NO16 Colored Americans Gain 14,397 ON U S. PAYROLL. Republicans Point to Army of Negroes They Have Given Places—High Offices for Black Men. Claim Credit for Emancipation and Denounce Democrats as Unfriendly to the Colored Race. (From the Baltimore Sun.) A direct appeal for the Negro vote in the coming Congressional election is made in the Republican textbook, mainly on the ground that the party in power has shown "justice" to the Negro by appointing him to Federal offices. This discloses for the first time the extent to which Negroes have been given Government preferment. There are nearly 15,000 Negroes employed by the Government. They total salaries aggregating $8,255,761. Eleven are officials of the Diplomatic and Consular Service; 11 are officers in the United States Army; nearly 3,000 are employed in the Postal Service. The number employed in departments in Washington is 5,768,703 of whom are in the Treasury, 571 in the Government. Printing Office and 421 in the Department of the Interior. Colored Employees of Government The following table of the number of Negroes employed in the service of the Federal Government is presented. No. Salary.

This campaign book declares that "on August 1, 1910, there were more Afro-Americans in the service of the United States Government than ever before in the history of the country. The highest salary paid an Afro-American is received by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentary of the United States to Haiti, whose salary is $10,000 per annum. A number of Government officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 a year. Clerks are paid from $900 to $1,800." Then there follows an enumeration of Negro appointments set forth by the Republican campaign book as follows: In High Places. A few Afro-Americans who have been honored by the Republican party, appointed or recommended by the President as Government officials: William T. Vernon, of Kansas, Register of the Treasury. Henry L. Johnson, of Georgia, recorder of deeds, District of Columbia. Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, Auditor for the Navy Department. C. F. Adams, Assistant Register of the Treasury. of the Treasury. John M.

Thomas Richardson, Postmaster, Port Gibson, Mississippi. William H. Lewis, assistant district attorney, Boston. Nelson Crews, special agent, Department of Agriculture. W. D. Johnson, Kentucky, special agent, Interior Department. Negro Ministers and Consuls. Immediately on the heels of this enumeration the Republicans give the following list of Negroes in the diplomatic and consular service: Diplomatic. Henry W. Furniss, Minister to Haiti $10,000 William D. Crum, Minister to Liberia 5,000 Richard C. Bunday, secretary of Legation, Liberia..... William J.

The campaign book quotes extracts from the speeches of acceptance of Taft and Sherman to show that they "stand squarely on the equal justice plank," and in discussing the attitude of the Republican party toward the Negro the campaign managers say: "Prior to the advent of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party about 4,000,000 Afro-Americans were held in bondage in the Southern States, then, as now, controlled by the Democrats, and when the Republican party elected Lincoln President, thus setting the stamp of disapproval upon the Democratic desires, these Democratic Southern States seceded from the Union and attempted to set up a Confederacy, with human slavery as the chief cornerstone. "The Republican party determined that the Confederacy should be destroyed; that the Union should preserved; and true to its principles, and in keeping with his own declarations, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondmen. Following the freedom of the slaves came their enlistment in the army and navy, and by this act the names of 200,000 Afro-Americans were added to the honor roll. The leaders of the Republican party, feeling that their work was far from completion, framed and passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, and the States ratified their action, thus making slavery impossible and confirming the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. "Clothed by the Republican party with the right to vote, is it surprising that these newly made citizens voted with the party which had taken them from their former position as mere chattels and made them citizens of the republic?" Education North and South. The campaign book scores the Southern States for failure to educate the Negro, and compares them unfavorably with the North as follows: "In the matter of public education, the difference between the two parties is marked. In the North, where the Republicans generally control, education among the colored people is widely diffused, while in the Democratic South the percentage of illiteracy is very great. "The Democratic legislators fail to provide equal school facilities for the two races, and in several States the facilities, already meagre, have recently been materially reduced. In Louisiana no Afro-American child received public instruction above the fifth grade, and there is a general movement throughout the Southern Democratic States to confine the education of the Afro-American children to the lower grades. The movement to divide the school money between whites and Afro-Americans in proportion to their contributions in taxes to the school fund arises in one Democratic Southern State after another, the purpose of which is to perpetuate Afro-American illiteracy. "That the Democrats in general are in sympathy with the 'Jim Crow' idea was shown on Washington's Birthday, 1908, when Congressman Heflin, of Alabama, introduced an amendment providing 'Jim Crow' cars for the Capital of the Nation. Every Republican, member present voted against the amendment, while many Democrats voted for it. "The platform adopted by the Republican party at Chicago contains a plank which stands squarely and unequivocally for all the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people." WASHINGTON,FD.C., SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17 1910 THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. JAMES E. SHEPPARD. Invited to Egypt cent sessions of Congress providing for the repeal of Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Where They are Employed. The Republicans, in an effort to emphasize their employment of the Negro, say: A GREAT LEAD Booker T. Washington "The Library of Congress is one of the great libraries of the world. One of the assistants, Daniel Murray, has spent several years in research among the books of the library, and has been able to identify approximately 6,000 titles of work by colored authors. To many who are wont to bellittle the literary capacity of the race, this will prove astounding information. Colored composers have written more than 3,000 musical compositions. There are 48 Afro-American employees, 23 of whom are employed under the direct supervision of the Librarian of Congress, and 25 are under the superintendent of the building. The aggregate paid them is $34,000." "One of the most expert examiners of the Patent Office is an Afro-American, Henry E. Baker, of Mississippi, who draws $2,100 a year. He has been an examiner 22 years. He has recently made a research of the office and has been able to trace more than 1,000 patents granted to Afro-Americans. There are a number of high-grade Afro-American clerks in the office." 300 Negro Postmasters. "There are 2,998 Afro-Americans serving the Government under the Postoffice Department, and their annual salaries aggregate $2,348,424. Among these are included postmasters, assistant postmasters, clerks, letter carriers, rural mail carriers, and railway mail clerks." There are nearly 300 Afro-American postmasters, some of whom have charge of Presidential offices. There are 512 Negroes in the Chicago postoffice, 21 in the Houston (Texas) office, 43 in the Jacksonville (Fla.) postoffice, 30 colored in the postoffice in Montgomery, Ala., and 12 in the St. Paul (Minn.) office. "All of the letter carriers at the Muskogee (Okla.) postoffice are colored men. They draw salaries amounting to $10,260 annually," says the campaign book. "Fourteen are employed in Kansas City, 15 in Columbus, Ohio. "The total force of the Mobile (Ala.) postoffice consists of 33 clerks, 16 Afro-Americans and 17 whites," says the report. "The 32 carriers are all colored. The Afro-American employees receive annually $2,400. "James A. Cobb, appointed Assistant District Attorney for the D strict of Columbia, prepares cases for prosecution under the Pure Food law and has charge of forfeited bonu cases. "There are 15 Negroes in the Internal Revenue Service at Louisville, Kv." "S. L. Williams, Special Assistant District Attorney at Chicago, has charge of the naturalization cases. Mr. Williams is a colored man," says the campaign book. One more extract will be quoted from this remarkable chapter. It follows: "There are 213 Afro-American officials and employees in the employ of the Federal Government in the State of Louisiana, and their annual salaries aggregate $228662. They are employed in the Customs Service. United States Mint. Postoffice Service. United States Land Office. United States Sub-Treasury. Internal Revenue Office. Railway Mail Service. Department of Justice and United States Immigration Bureau." Guest of Carnegie Sinnis Castle, Scotland Poster T. Washington of the Tus- ton Institute, is accompanying several days during his European visit as the meet of Mr Andrew Cramarie, at Sinnis Castle, Scotland A GREAT LEADER Booker T. Washington. The September number of The Columbian contains a well written article on Dr. Booker T. Washington by Edward Marshall. The article is accompanied by a fine cut of Dr. Washington, and also a cut of Carnegie Library, at Tuskegee. On page 1847 there is a fine group cut of Mr. Robert C. Ogden, President Taft, B. Washington and Mr. Carnegie. Mr. Marshall says that in 1862 a little yellow slave boy, in his hand a slice of bread and molasses (he had never sat at a table much to eat, for his mother's service in the "big house" scarcely gave her opportunity for such formalities as regular meals in her own cabin) down on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia, asked an earnest question. That little boy was Booker T. Washington. He is a grown man now, a Negro who three Presidents of the United States have called their friend, an ex-slave, whom such men as the president of Harvard University and Dr. Lyman Abbott have spoken of fraternally as "confrere"; a philanthropist with whom Carnegie, Robert C. Ogden, J. G. Phelps Stokes and many others cooperate enthusiastically. I know no record of determined and successful human effort against odds which surpass his, or on the mighty structure reared from little I have never known of one so vast reared from so little as that which he has reared. Booker Washington, says the writer, is the combined Moses and Joshua of his people, etc. Decadence of the Rural Church. Sandy Springs, M. C., Md. The Negro preacher, lawyer, teacher and 'other leaders of industry should be trained in institutions of higher learning so as to be equipped to fill responsible positions. The race must be led by individuals who, having studied higher branches, have an insight into the complex civilization of this epoch. They must understand the ideals and motives of the American people. However, one may study so long as to get out of touch with the activities of life and a result of present day educational systems is to make students passive. The average Negro college student does not seem to possess the power of applying himself to the problems of life when he enters a community In the open country the church is fast disappearing. Sunday schools are vigorous and as well attended as ever. The church is an institution for giving religious instruction, but in a measure preachers have ceased to instruct. Even in towns former church-goers frequent the Bible classes and Y. M. C. A. The rural population demands what the country parson can not give. Imagine a church in a community where the roads at certain seasons are almost impassable. The minister must advocate good roads, agitate for good roads, and insist upon good roads until they are built. In nine communities out of every ten the preacher and school teacher fail to sustain friendly relations to each other. Few divines recognize what a good school is, and few lend any effort toward the improvement of what they usually find. This denlorable condition is a result of training for the professions in schools with a narrow range of interests. They should be so expanded in personnel and equipment and so enriched in courses as to meet the demand of the times and the need of the race. The State University the direct expression of the people educate a man in an assembling tan atmosphere and environment much broader than his own interests. How many preachers interest themselves in the economic and social improvement of the community? Yet each succeeding Sabbath finds them making a stirring and eloquent appeal for funds—salary, conference claims, presiding elder's fund, missionary mite, fuel bill, sexton's wage, etc., etc. The sum and substance of the whole matter is we have too many preachers or ministers and too few pastors. The mission of the former is to talk and of the latter, to achieve. Another discounting charge against the theologian is his burning desire to participate in politics. As "The Age" put it, in the field of politics he is usually as weak as he is in morals and money matters. If he devoted the portion of his time to social improvement that he gives to politics, success in his profession would be insured. He stoops and invariably loses in the end, and thereby degrades his calling. A rural minister should have an especial knowledge and understanding of the economic and social phases of rural life. In fact, rural economics and sociology should occupy, similar positions in the curriculum of the theological seminary that they do in the modern teachers' training school. The minister will then be in a position to offer suggestions to his members on farm management, marketing, co-operation, sanitation, etc. Let the conference investigate the condition of the rural church and assert itself by taking its place abreast of the agencies for rural progress. Maryland will offer a score or more excellent openings for colored educators who have training and experience in agricultural and technical fields. The State Board of Education intends to improve the colored schools and make them the equal of any in the South. Acting in accordance with the recommendation of the Southern Educational Association that there be closer supervision in rural schools not only by the county superintendents but by directors of agriculture and manual training, each county will employ a capable and trained supervisor, who shall be required to visit frequently all the schools, and cause education of an industrial character to be made a part of the daily instruction. Geo. H. C. Williams, formerly instructor in biology and school gardening in this city, has returned from the Graduate School of Agriculture, Iowa State College, to make a thorough investigation of the rural schools and act as supervisor in charge. Three Great Friends of the Negro. Sept. 10, 1910. The Washington Bee: Dr. Booker Washington encourages me to hope that possibly you may find place in your columns for this letter: The reputation of Wilberforce is world-wide, but comparatively few know the names of the two friends who were not one whit behind him in work for the slaves. Macaulay indeed had more practical knowledge of the sufferings of plantation Negroes and the horrors of the slave trade than either of his friends, for in early life he had been a bookkeeper on a plantation and had subsequently taken passage in a slave trader, and thus got information at first hand. He described the cruelties practiced on board and the futile efforts of some of the slaves to escape by suicide from their threatened fate. Henry Thornton was a man of very frail health, but his great philanthropy led him never to spare himself in the cause of humanity. In his house, which at one time Wilberforce shared with him, many conferences on the Abolition of Slavery were held and he threw himself heart and soul into the cause. Not long ago this historic house was razed to the ground, and the adjacent land, which was formerly gardens and fields where the abolitionists walked and talked over their plans, is now being rapidly covered with small houses, involving a population of over 6,000 souls. There has never been any adequate memorial to the three men who, as friends of the friendless, conferred fame and honor on the Christianity of England. To Wilberforce there is indeed a monument, and to Zachary Calauay a tablet in Westminster Abbey. To Henry Thornton only his name on a tablet and tombstone in a disused church-yard at Clapham. It has been said, perhaps not untruly, that the emancipation of millions of the human race from slavery is the greatest event in the world's history since our Lord preached the Gospel on earth. It is now proposed to put a church, to be called the Church of the Rededemer, in the neighborhood where the Slave Emancipator lived and labored. It has occurred to me that Negroes might be interested in knowing that the memory of the pioneers of Emancipation is honored in England and also that possibly some of the descendants of freed slaves might like to show their sympathy by some small contribution to the building on the site which has been secured. It is a case where possibly the cents of the many would be more appropriate than the dollars of the few, and if, sir, any of your readers would care to help in this matter, any contributions you might forward would be most gratefully received and acknowledged by Canon Festive Clarke, St Luke's Vicarage, Ramsden Road, Balmham, London. I am sir, my obedient servant. A Granddaughter of Henry Thornton. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) Declaring that there is a difference marked by God between Negroes and whites, Gov. J. Y. Sanders created a sensation in his Labor Day address in New Orleans. The Independent Order of St. Luke, through its officers, has purchased a brick building, corner of Thirteenth and U streets, for $7,000. They hope some time in the near future to have a handsome structure there. Prof. W. A. Joiner will be missed from Howard University. The cholera epidemic continues to claim thousands of victims in Russia. There has been nearly 28,000 deaths. Although the sanitary bureau reports an improvement, there are now 170,363 cases on hand. There is one country in the world without an automobile in it, and that is Haiti. Dr. A. E. Pope, an American in trade there, but who has recently returned to this country, says he was the only person there with one. Gen. W. C. Oates, who died at Montgomery, Ala., was federal commissioner in charge of marking Confederate soldiers' and sailors' graves. He was in 27 battles, and was wounded six times. As a reward for the care she lavished on him in his infancy, King George V has summoned to her native land Mrs. Anna Roberts, once his nurse, that she may spend her last days in comfort. A movement has been started to have steamship companies discontinue The plant of the Rubber and Celluloid Harness Trimming Company, which was also associated with the R.Blumber Brush Company, was destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated to be about $250,000. Solicitor General Lloyd W. Bowers, who probably would have been made chief justice of the United States, died quite suddenly last week in Boston, Mass. The strike of 44,000 coal miners in Illinois, which was settled, is estimated to cost the miners $12,000,000 in wages, and the loss to the operators during the five months, $15,000,000. The will of the late Caroline M. Martin, a member of the family of Noah Martin, who was twice Governor of the State of Massachusetts, has been filed for probate. She leaves $192,000 to charity. Although approaching her 92d birthday, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is still active and was given an ovation by 11,000 apprentices and seamen, who sang "Star Spangled Banner." Indiana, the "Hoosier State," today pay the last tribute to her brave sons who fell in the battle of Antietam. The Governor of the State will consecrate the monuments erected on the memorable battlefield to the Indiana dead. The population of Boston is 670,588, an increase of 109,693, or 19.6 per cent as compared with 560,892 in 1900. The Federal grand jury, which has been investigating Chicago packers, returned indictments against ten high officials of Swift, Armour and Norris concerns. The people who live in the suburban districts are rejoiced because the Commissioners have decided to restore lamps in the dark sections as they were before During August, for the first time in the history of the Postoffice Department, the city of Chicago surpassed the city of New York in the gross amount of postal receipts. It is said that Secretary Nagle, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, has been named as the Supreme Court choice. Another shake-up in the administrative forces at the Treasury Department has occurred. Wonder what is the next move. If the experiment of having unattached seats and desks proves beneficial, it will probably mark the passing of the old-time school bench and desks in this city. Sixty years ago the State of California was admitted to the Union. Her diamond jubilee was celebrated in San Francisco with gay pageantry. There will soon be erected on the battlefield at Gettysburg a heroic bronze figure of the late Rev. William Corhin, C. S. G., chaplain of the 88th regiment. John Hyde, former statistician of the Department of Agriculture, who has been abroad since the cotton leak in the department in 1903, is returning to Washington. William M. Sloane, Seth Low professor of history at Columbia University, New York, has been decorated with the Legion of Honor. Prof. Sloane has been a prolific writer on French history.

Prior to Jan. 18, 1871, the German empire, as we know it today, had no existence. Instead it was a jumble of kingdoms, states, duchies, grass duchies and principalities, all joined together by a like language and common political aspirations, it is true, but otherwise quite separate and distinct. Then came the historic ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Paris had just been captured by King William of Prussia, and it was held to be a fitting time and place to proclaim him the first German emperor. Never since the dawn of history was an empire born more dramatically. By a strange irony of fate, too, its birth took place amid the ruins of the French empire, itself the creation of a day, or, rather, to be strictly accurate, of a night. France went to bed on the evening of Dec. 1, 1851, a republic. When it awoke next morning it was an empire. During the hours of darkness Paris had been occupied by troops, and the prince-president had become Napoleon III. Equally sudden and almost as sensational in its way was the birth of the modern Greek empire. After the yoke of the Turks had been thrown off in the war of independence the country became a republic. But the people soon tired of that democratic form of government and promptly proceeded to assassinate their first and only president. Then they met together, elected a king and settled themselves down to be ruled by him in a quite orderly and contented fashion.—San Francisco Chronicle. Exploiting the Antique. A gang of swindlers arrested by the Toulouse police had for stock in trade a beautiful antique cabinet and a considerable stock of audacity. With these they took, for a short lease, a historic chateau near Toulouse, installing a venerable old lady to play the part of owner. Then they found a collector of antiques, persuaded him to visit the chateau and sold him the really valuable cabinet at a good round price. After the bargain was concluded they invited the victim to lunch, and while he was eating the meal the real cabinet was replaced by a perfect imitation, which the victim carried off with him. The swindlers, before their arrest, succeeded in selling their cabinet thirty-three times, at prices varying from $500 to $3,000.

Heart's Sweet Chains. revengerful animals during spells or severe pain are, as a rule, as docile and tractable as a child. Relief must come from a human being, and come quickly, and they seem to know it. The most vicious horse when groaning with pain would allow a mere child to administer relief, and many of the wild animals when in sickness seem to forget their savage instincts." The Greyhound. Various explanations have been given of the origin of the term greyhound, some authors claiming that the prefix grey is taken from Gralus, meaning Greek, others that it signifies great, while still others say that it has reference to the color of the animal: In no other breed of hounds is the blue or gray color so prevalent, and consequently the last mentioned derivation seems the most plausible.—London Notes and Queries.

On the front page of The Bee this week will be seen and read with interest an article from the Baltimore Sun, giving a detailed account of what the Republican party has done, and is doing, for colored Americans. The Bee wants every colored American in this country to read this article and decide for himself if he should divide his vote, in the face of the record of the Democratic party, so far as the.colored vote is concerned.. The colored voter should first consider what he is to gain by dividing his vote. Mr. Cleveland, under his two Admin- istrations, was friendly disposed towards the colored American. Then, again, his record in New York, so far as the colored people were concerned, was good. He was sound on the color question, and went against his own party to a great extent. Is there a Democrat to-day liberal enough to accord justice to the colored man if he supports him for President? If there is one, will some independ- ent agitator name him and state what his record is? Some men enter blindly into a proposition and come to conclusions before they thoroughly understand the situation. The last Democratic campaign convinced the Demo- cratic pay that the masses of the colored people cannot be relied on to support the Democratic party. Democratic managers ask them- selves the question, what has the Democratic party done to win the colored vote, and if these so- called Democratic colored men are sincere? The Bee has never found but one colored man with any sin- cerity, and his namo is James C. Mathews, of Albany. Mr. Ma- thews was honest, and he was onc man who gave Mr. Cleveland to understand. when he appointed him Recorder of Deeds for this city that he (Mathews) was the recorder, and he proposed to run his office. There never has been a colored Recorder of Deeds since the days of Mathews, with all duc respect to his predecessors and successors. No white deputy _re- corder of deeds wrote his orders and brought them to him to sign. President Cleveland had the high- est respect for him, and so did his people, colored Republicans excepted, and they would seek his influence whenever. they were dis- turbed by a white Democratic chief. Almost every colored Re- publican in office turned to be 1 emocrat when Mr. Cleveland was President. Many of them appealed to Mr. Mathews for pro- tection, and he was loyal enough to his race to help them. We need men to-day like Mr. Mathews— not sycophants; we need men, not cowards; we need men, not apolo- gists and office-seekers. Considering existing conditions ought the colored vote be divided { , OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. . 4n our local government there are only four colored clerks— Messrs. Warner, Langston, Mon- tague and Cheeks. Just think of it! A population of from 80,000 to 90,000 colored people and only four colored clerks—and_none in sight to be appointed. What is the world coming to? All of the Commissioners are Republicans. or they are supposed to be. The colored citizens have never receiv- ed any recognition from the En- gineer Commissioner, and never will, as long as the present form of cornea exists. These col- ored clerks have been in the em- ployment longer than many of these white employees who have feen promoted over the heads of these four competent clerks. The successor of ex-Commissioner’ West -is an army officer, and no! doubt he imagines that the place is too small for so great a nian. I£ the colored people receive any- thing from him, there will be a jubilee in this city. Conditions in our local government, so far as colored people are concerned, are worse to-day than they have ever been. The President ought to take a hand and see that a xepresenta- tive place is given “a colored citizen. i JUDSON. Congress meant for the Board of Education to control the public schools of this city, but it seems that the Engineer Commissioner, Mr, Judson, has been meddjing with our schools ever since he has been in office. - The Bee under- stands that Mr. Judson has select- ed a piece of ground for Manual School No.2 (colored) near the government stables. Now, will the colored people stand for this? What does it mean? The Board of Education selected a sight near Howard: University, and a few meddling busy-bodies entered a protest; and now what have they gained? Mr. Judson, who has nothing whatever to do with our schools and cares but little, in our opinion, for the colored people, has expressed himself heretofore concerning our schools. Had he any respect for the colored people he would have permitted the site selected by the Commissioners to be ratified. Who are more dan- gerous to the pupils who. will at- tend the normal school, the stu- dents and preachers of Howard University who were slandered by ‘a class of false pretenders or the denizens of fhe government sta- bles? The colored people of Washington never had any trouble with their schools or school sites until the influx of so many “ten- der-foot” meddlers. Major Judson should leave his meddling with the Board of Education. Corigress meant to give the Board of Edu- cation more power than it had heretofore; and for that. reason the Jaw was changed and placed in the hands of the judges, whe have made some good appoint: ments. The citizens will protest against the selection of Major Judson, and a public meeting will be held next week to protest against this site, UITAESOOLON NO LOUNGE It is about timo for the people of this city to take some action in regard to their rights. ‘It ha: been a question for years with The Bee whether the people ir this city, white and black, had any rights ‘that should be respecte The school question is ono thal mostly interests the colored peo ple. ‘The white people soon reliev. ed themselves of their burden an¢ placed a man at the head of theit schools whom: they could appre ciate and respect. Why should the colored people be burdened with an incumbrance? Why arc not the wishes of 80,000 or 90,00( colored people considered anc complied with? There is but one remedy if this burdén is to be continued. The members of the Board of Education are being im posed upon, and the sooner they see it the better will the teacher: and pupils fare. Will President Cox, Capt. Oyster, Mrs. Hocke Prof. Terrell, Mr. Blair and oth. ers relieve the people? Tho Bee in behalf of the people, the teach. ers and pupils, appeal to you, gen: tlemen, to relieve them of thi: burden. MAINE DEMOCRATIC. The result in Maine is an evi- derve of the displeasure of the Republicans in the State against the Administration. This ought to convince the President that his policy is not indorsed by the peo- ple. The Bee said some time ago that the appointment of Southern Demeerats to office and the dis- placement of colored Republi- cans would not help the Republi- can party in the least. The Dem- ocrats have displaced almost every colored Republican in the South. ‘The President was endeavoring to help his party and curb Demo- eratic wrath. The Maine Demo- cratic victory is an evidence of The Bee’s prediction some time ago. The Forty leaders ought to advise the President and tell him that he is wrong. If Maine has gone Democratic,—a “died-in-the wool” Republican State—what are we to expect in November? The Maine election is an indica- tion as to the complexion of the next Congress. The country is angry. _ - ee a ee ee The abolition of the office of the colored superintendent of our schools is an absolute necessity. ‘The people have appealed to the Board of Education to make a change in the head of the colored schools, but it seems that no heed has been taken to their appeal. If the Board of Education is at a loss for a suitable successor to Bruce, The Bee will suggest the name of Supervising Principal Walker; a finer young man doesn't exist. He has executive ability, and then, again, he is a gentleman. If Bruce ‘is reappointed, in the face of the protest of the people, Congress will be asked to abolish the office and place the colored schools under white supervision. ‘At ledst, to abolish the office of colored superintendent and_give the colored schools a white head, but allow the other officers to re- main as they are. The people will be satisfied. If Mr. Walker is not satisfactory, there are others. The people are not satisfied, and their last resort will be.to Congress. Let the office be abolished. SHOULD NOT RECEDE. the Bee understands that an effort is being made to reinstate Mrs. Anna J. Cooper to her for- mer position in the High School. The High School is now in an ex- cellent condition, and the Board of Education would commit a blunder if this woman is rein- stated. The Bee is aware, at the time Mrs. Cooper was suspended, that she was offered a place by the president of the Board of Educa: tion, which she declined at the time. Conditions in the High School are good, and any change now or in the future without just cause would.bo disastrous. The board should not recede. AN IMPOSTOR. ‘There is an impostor claiming to be a representative of The Bee The peoplo are warned against him; -and if ho presents himself, imake him show_his*credentials; if he cannot, the Editor will thank anyene if he is turned over to an officer, st How smoothly the white schools sail along. . _ Superintendent Stuart, the peo- ple look to you for a change in their schools. —<—<——<—<= | Mr, Sidney Bieber should be appointed to a good postion. He was loyal to Mr. Taft. The reception that Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave Dr. Washingon last week was fit for the gods, Mr. Frank Seybring, chief clerk of the Police Court, is mas- ter of his job. Mr. Sebring is a wide-awake official. R. W: Thompson ought to give himself a rest on a Washington Press Association. He is an editor without a paper. Why avere the colored teachers asked to go into the highways, by- ways, alleys, gutters and other places and look for pupils to at- tend school? White teachers don’t have to go. It is rumored that Genera] John’ A, Johnston, Commissioner of the District of Columbia, intends to promote a colored private to ser- geant, and then to lieutenant. It will snow in July when he does it. Dr. James E. Shepard has re- ceived an invitation to return to Egypt, where he made such an impression two years ago. Dr. Shepard and Dr. Washington are two of the greatest race benefac- tors in the United States. OUR SCHOOLS. =~ What the Normal School Aims to Do For the Students An Address‘to the Parents of Wash- ington's Colored Youth, by Chas. M. Thomas. 3 (Continued) Lacking the attractive glitter of an uniformed army, Jacking the sensory stimulus of martial music, lacking the feeling of fellowship engendered by facing dangers in ordered ranks, to train teachers to work alone and un- noticed, but faithfully and heroically, the Normal School introduces them while students to the lives and achievements of the teachers of all ages, Mere mercenaries seldom make ‘good soldiers; and so with teachers; cae the recruits be fired with zeal for the cause, the fighting will be but fainthearted, ‘and social progress. be retarded. From such conditions ‘springs the first great aim of the Nor- mal ‘School—INSPIRATION. ‘The History of Education. The méans of generating inspiration is the study of the History of Edu- cation so presented as to make the students catch fire by contact with the heat, zeal and enthusiasm of the world’s teachers, from Moses to Gen- eral Armstrong. From the records of the aspirations and labors of successive races and na- tions to realize the dreams of their as Worth While?” “What is Truth?” and when such an attitude of mind has been developed the school finds that it has a second great aim—Cul- sure and Consecration. . By means of the study of literature and by an examination of the approx- smate solutions of the problem of numan life, the Normal School aims to have its*students realize that noth- ing is greater than character express- ed in social relations and nothing of lasting value but righteousness. Just as the Normal School joins with the home in aiming to inspire its students for service by means of the lives of noble men and women, so it joins the church in revealing the shortcomings of the past and the promises of the tuture. Students soon come to real- wze that to be a teacher demands that. one be familiar with Shakespeare and the Bible, at least. x The Normal School docs not pre- sume to set its aims as the resalts of its own limited experience, but it deduces them by research. Where ver man has wrought upon the face of Nature those changes which lead us to claim him as 4 fellow of the human species, there we dind some traces of efforts to train the young for adult activities. In the dim past we catch glimpses of it in the stories which were told to the young of the deeds of their ancestors. Later we |sce it in the priestly demonstrations of the powers and wrath of the gods, who rewarded good deeds and pun- ished evil. It shows itself in the ex- ercise in the use of the weapons of warfare, and at puberty in iniation into the Secrets of the tribe and into increasingly responsible positions in times of peace and the event of war. From+the old records of the Chi- nese schools of 2,500 years ago, through the better known schools of Aestheticism, Asceticism, Scholasti- cism and Classicalism down to our own age in which there is being made a transition into industrialism, tech- nology and commercialism, every age has sought to organize education in its own image. In turn the program has modified the age, and again in its turn the age has: modified the pro* gram. It is the clear presentation of these mutual actions and interactions which prepares teachers to meet the chang- ing conceptions of education which each generation must witness. Thus the Normal School aims to give grow- ing teachers to the community; its graduates are not finished, but pre- pared. The Golden Thread of Sympathy— Past and Present. + Always, in the varied programs of education which the students are taught to examine, failure to subordi- nate individual needs to social needs meant failure for the program as well as for the state. In all men, at all | times, in varying degrees can be seen |traces of that sympathy with fellows | and desire to serve them and to better the future, which has become of the keynote of our own age. First, the | maternal sacrifice, common to every state and condition, through the. gift | of nourishment to the helpless infant, then the paternal sacrifice in its simple form, through the hunt and the war {for gain or for protection, show us ‘|in the dawn of human history the be- ‘|ginnings of that sympathy and willing- Jness to be spent in service, which ends after culminated in Calvary and gave rise to the social order of to- day. | “Today this sympathy finds its growth generated by stories to the young of the virtue and heroism of the race, be it Aryan, Semitic, Negro, Negroid, or what not. In the efforts of all men to make heroes; they put | the lives and achievements of heroes before their youth, so to make noble '|men and women, the Normal School '| presents its students with the lives and | work of noble men and women of all times. It. is a fact of ‘no slight sig- ‘| mficance in the training of teachers, that the great text book of our mod- ern program of education is little |}more than a compendium of the lives Jof men and women who have been ‘either approved or disapproved. Moses jand Lot's wife, David and Esther, |John the Baptist and Mary, Saint | Paul and Jesus have educated more men and women for individual and so- '|cial efficiency than the ‘combined ac- tivities of educational programs for | centuries. 7 | Today our program of education || shows its basis of sympathy in train. ing the children in the race's imple- -|ments of industry, and .n preparation :| for and impulses to greater usefulness ‘Jin the family, in the group, in the nation. Today sympathy finds its out: let in adoration of the Infinite through service to men, and through apprecia- tion and use of Nature. “Man has had the world opened to him by the gateway of his sympathies and by that | portal must be led on his way inte (ee Se a Te ee a tivities of educational programs for centuries. 4 Today our program of education shows its basis of sympathy in train- ing the children in the race’s imple- ments of industry, and -n preparation for and impulses to greater usefulness in the family, in the group, in the nation. Today sympathy finds its out- let in adoration of the Infinite through service to men, and through apprecia- tion and use of Nature. “Man has had the world opened to him by the gateway of his sympathies and by: that Portal must be Ted on his way into fe. Our modern program of education to which the students of the Normal School subscribe spells SYMPATHY with one’s fellows; not hostility or suspicion, but service. It spells ado- ration of the Infinite; not by fear or by sacrifice, but by, obedience. It spells acquaintance with Nature and appreciatiof” of man’s dependence thereon; not, superstition, but science. ‘The last aim of the Normal School in the presentation of the history of education is to have the teachers real- ize that problems, aims and ideals of a race or nation are first formulated by. the philosophers, later they are ‘tried by the educational reformer, and finally accepted, modified and adopted ‘by the .feople, to be applied by the teachers. It is such work by the Nor- mal School with its students that pro- duces the calm, steady, patient, hope- ful person so necessary to the lives of reckless, ambitious, venturesome, careless, ignorant_and sometimes un- moral ‘children, Teachers thus train- ed are not carried away by enthusiasm for fads and frills, but they look for the social need and await the com- munity’s approval of a fair trial. More than two centuries were re- quired for nature study to find a place in the curriculum of the common schools. Roger Bacon urged such a study based upon observation and ex- perience. He and scores of others had seen clearly the necessity for it as a part of the fundamental aim in| teaching children for adult life. Co- menius had attempted it and he failed. Today, no program of education is without it, and its inter-relations in art, literature, science and commerce. A half century has passed since the first attempt to inaugurate kindergar- tens (all readers are familiar with Mrs, Murray's efforts in the past 15 years in this city) and about that time has been required for the installation of manual training, which has long ‘been unquestioned as to its value, and even now it lacks financial support in the grammar departments, A peru- sal of the famous report of the first secretary of the State Board of Edu- cation of Massachusetts will reveal caucational principles for America which were rejected by Bostonians 60 years ago, and are just now finding their way into the schools as expert- ments. 7 From such reviews of the develop- ment and efforts of phases of the ed- ucational program, the students come to see themselves as workers in a movement of dignity and of historic value. Their work becomes in fact professional and thus their behavior of dress, of voice and of social con- tact is altered and ordered from within, The next aims of the Normal Schoot arises from the necessity for securing to the children the students may be called upon to teach max- imum results with minimum cx- penditure of child thought and pre- cious energy.’ The students must gome to know HOW THE CHILD LEARNS. The students must come to know WHAT THE CHILD SHOULD BE TAUGHT. To secure these ends the students are required to study children, and to study hu- man. nature. (To be Continued.) Citizens Appeal. Deanwood Heichts, D. C. sept. If, 1910. Honorable Commissioners, District of ‘Columbia: : Gentlemen: At a_meeting of the Northeast Suburban Citizens’ Associa- tion, held on the Sth inst., 2 commit- tee was appointed to wait upon your board and respectfully request consid- eration of the following: "This Association, which represents the citizens residing between Minne- sota avenue northeast and the District line, comprising the communities of Deanwood, Lincoln, Beverly, Burrville, Linwood Heights ‘and Grant Park, have been and are still in great dis- trees for the reason that the total ab- sence of lights in those sections and along their lines of travel, afford a constant menace to life and limb and invite attack upon, peaceful residents by the idle and vicious. ‘At the stations along the electric line—Lincoln, at the intersection of soth and G, northeast, Brooks Station, 58th and Grst streets—where great numbers of citizens get on and off be-, tween the close of day and midnight, there are no lights whatever. The swiftly moving, brilliantly lighted car passes on, leaving the passenger to grope his way by the aid of match or lighted paper as best he may. ‘The fact that this section is without a roadway, except_a tortuous path, winding through private property and 2 constant danger to man and beast, by reason of holes and muddy gullies, has previously been brought to the attention of your honorable body. __ This committee therefore prays that in the distribution of the lights which is contemplated, lights may be placed at the points along the electric line above designated and a few distributed in the neighborhoods as heretofore named. ‘The matter of lights is of so vital import to those communities. that any kind of light will be thankfully wel- comed—electric, oil, or gasoline—and if the operation of the same is con- sidered inexpedient for any reason, the residents thereof will undertake their operation, if installed or set up by your honorable body.

The news- paper as well as the home is the guid- ing star of humanity. Oh! may the day soon come when our people will more liberally support the newspapers edited by such giants as yourself, Mr. Editor. ‘Your correspondent has been a sub- scriver to The Washington Bee for many yéars; and the desire has burned within, fora long time, to look the editor in the face and shake his hand. The opportunity. was afforded while returning from the Business League, recently held in New York. But the league will not be discussed in this article, for you have, in a previous issue of your valuable paper, given your readers a full account of that splendid organization, headed by our mutual friend, Booker T. Washington. ‘The Washington Bee is a household phrase in our home. We welcome it because from our point of view it is the best Afro-American newspaper published it behalf of the race. It not only provides your readers with the latest and most important news con- cerning the welfare and condition of our people, but educates the public mind along all lines of reform. Your fearlessness in defense of the race, without being hyperbolically radical, is worthy of emulation. To be in your presence and to observe your keautiful and well kept office is an inspiration. ; In conversing with your many friends, it is learned that The Bee has done more good in Washington in lifting the social code of morals to a higher standard than any agency in the city. “The commonest stone is full of things admirable. Much above that in interest is the plant, endowed with the mystery we call life’ Marvel- ous above this is the animal, rich in extraordinary functions and instincts. But towering high above all stands man, truly the king of creation by virtue of his spiritual_being.” So we regard the editor of The Bee—W. Calvin Chase, Sr—because of his high spiritual being and great person- ality, the king of newspaper men, among our people, battling for the race on whose neck are the feet of all nationalities. In these days “what is struggle.” We are determined to help you in your struggle to conquer all things which tendto hinder the prog- ress of the race.

As he grows old a lion gets lazy and spiritless, says Everybody's. The haughty beast that stares at the crowd outside his cage usually is as fierce of spirit as a fat night watchman who blinks out upon the dark world through the circle of light cast by the lamp at his feet. With plenty to eat, nothing to annoy him and a keeper to look after his cage, the king of beasts becomes as peaceful, portly and self satisfied as some of our latter day human monarchs, whose ministers of army, navy, state and other things take proper care of the regal edge and see to it that the usual three square meals per day await the royal gullet at the proper hours. The story book impression that lions are always on the hunt in their native jungle is quite at variance with the truth. Indeed, the older lions will frequently go hungry or seek the leavings of another beast's kill rather than summon the energy to hunt prey for themselves. In a group of ten or twelve trained lions two or three young, nervous animals, usually supply the act with all its dash and spirit. The others are somnambullists. Tigers, too, frequently grow lethargic with advancing years, but never to such a degree as the aging lion. There is always a pinch of ginger in the big striped cat. For that reason he makes a more spectacular performer than the lion and usually a tougher proposition for the trainer. THE PARANOIAC. Quser Delusions That Come With This Curious Mental Disease. "That curious form of mental disease known as paranola is seldom or ever cured," said a noted Chicago alienist. "A paranoidiac may be able to transact business with a fair degree of efficiency, but, as a rule, few of this class can be made to stick to work, as the nature of the malady prevents concentration of mind. One so possessed is afflicted with strange delusions, especially with the notion that he is being persecuted. Many an individual who is denominated a crank has paranoid. In general these unfortunates are misanthrope, have no social intercourse with their fellows and are brooding and introspective. Very often their mania leads them to the notion that they have been born to lead mankind in a religious way, and they proclaim themselves prophets of God. Quite often, too, they are discoverers of some wonderful invention that will astonish the world. "It was a paranoido who followed the great actress Mary Anderson from place to place, declaring himself her favored sutor and threatening to kill any man who sought her company. These threats were what led to the locking up of the demented creature, and I believe he finally shot one of the asylum attendants. Paranoidos very frequently develop homicidal tendencies, and it is prudent to watch them at all times."—Baltimore American. The Birds' Nests That Men Eat. TOO MUCH IN FEAR SAD HAPPENING THAT HAS SOURED MRS. STOREY. Avoidance of Publicity in This Case Was Costly—And, of Course, Mr. Storey Says "I Told You So." Mrs. Storey's life had been haunted for years by the fear that some day she might be called upon to serve as a witness in court. Her grandmother was a witness once, and when Mrs. Storey was a little girl she used to hear all about it. Grandma, it appears, had been so scared she couldn't tell the judge her own name. "And," said Mrs. Storey to her husband, "if there is anything more disgraceful than to be unable to tell your own name, I'd like to know what it is." In order to reduce the possibility of such a calamity to a minimum, Mrs. Storey would walk on with deafened ears and averted head whenever she happened to be near a fight or the scene of an accident. Only the other day she had occasion to shut her eyes and ears to the seething crowd around her. She was waiting in the south terminal station for Mr. Storey, who had gone around to the baggage room to check a trunk. Presently she became aware that something exciting was happening close beside her. Hastily she shut her eyes and stuck her fingers into her ears, but before those protective measures could be accomplished she learned that a female thief had snatched a haudbag which she had found lying on the floor and was being pursued by an excited crowd. Not being entirely devoid of the curiosity of her sex, Mrs. Storey would have liked to know more, but the old fear of being detained as a witness held her inert until her husband's return. Then she ventured to ask if they had caught the thief. "Yes," said Mr. Storey, "but they couldn't do anything with her. Every one was confident the bag didn't belong to her, but as nobody appeared to claim it they had to let her go." At that Mrs. Storey opened her eyes. "I am so glad," she said, "that it is all over. I am ready to go now. But—oh, dear me! Where are my purse and handbag? I had them here a moment ago. They must have dropped—ah, I wonder—" "No use to wonder now," said Mr. Storey heartlessly; "of course, the stolen bag was yours." Closed Door an Ald to Harmony. Among the tribes where families live in one-roomed huts with never a door or division, dispositions must be of uncommon sweetness. As civilization increases the need of doors to increase, too, until finally our dispositions, or is it our effete dislike of violence? makes doors primal necessities. A closed door is the greatest aid to harmony known. Those people who are groping toward a desire for harmony, but are not yet wholly emancipated from the savage-one-room-hot-row period of civilization, slam their door on closing it and thus manage to leave a little ruction outside, though their supposed desire is to take it in the room with them and dissolve it into nothingness before appearing again in public. Sometimes one's gratitude for doors, doors in general and one's own door in particular, is so keen that one wonders if in the lares et penates there was not one especially devoted to doors. It would be to this little god that modern thanks would be most devoutly offered up. New Remedy for Strong Poison. New Remedy for Strong Poison. Experiments at the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research are said to have developed a surgical expedient by which the effects of the most virulent poisons may be rendered relatively harmless. So long as there is the faintest heartbeat, it is possible to save anyone who has taken what has been heretofore regarded as a fatal dose of strychnine, morphine, illuminating gas, and kindred potions. The basis of the treatment is the forcing a steady supply of air through the windpipe into the lungs. It differs from other artificial means of respiration in that the lungs themselves are not called upon to give aid. A small tube forced through the windpipe to the openings of the lungs conveys the fresh air, while the foul air returns by pressure through the windpipe outside the tube, which may be inserted through the mouth, or an aperture cut in the windpipe. "A Lady and a Lawyer." Practically all the members of District Attorney Whitman's staff were in Judge Crane's court when Lawyer Freda Thomas made an eloquent appeal in behalf of George Davis, a youth on trial for burglary. Assistant District Attorney Wilmot, somewhat abashed by the situation, cautioned the jury not to be influenced because the defendant's counsel was a "lady." "I object-to that remark," said Miss Thomas. "The district attorney has no right to refer to my sex. I am a lawyer." "That is right," said the ever-gallant Judge Crane. "You are both a lady and a lawyer."—Pittsburg Dispatch. A Sense of Superiority. "How many times have you been arrested?" asked the court. many times have you been arrested?" asked the court. "A good many," replied Plodding Pete, "but only for small offenses. I never git pinched for violatin' de speed laws or failin' to blow a horn." VAIN SEARCH FOR TREASURE Truth About Romantic Stories of Wealth Said to Hava Been Hidden in Mexico. According to Jose Ramon Palafox, a Mexican journalist, there are no hidden Montezuma treasures. No doubt the stories circulated about the hidden treasures of the Aztec emperors have their origin in the sadly exaggerated accounts of old Spanish historians—men who swallowed the yarns of the conquerors of Mexico and whose judgment had been upset by the few shipments of gold and silver made to Spain shortly after the taking of the Aztec capital. The amount of gold and silver in the possession of the Aztecs at any time was comparatively small and on the side of the people consisted of little more than a few personal ornaments. The greatest store of these precious metals was found by the Spanlards in the imperial palace; and this was promptly shipped to Spain by Cortez. Compared with the wealth of today even this was a mere drop in the bucket. The accounts of the Montezuma treasures is merely a counterpart of similar extravagances found on many pages of history. We read of the fabulous wealth of the Emphrates valley, of ancient Egypt, of India and other parts, and so far have never found a trace of it. In their day no doubt these people had a certain amount of gold and silver, but they never had enough to cause us moderns to call them rich. Dispersed among them in the form of currency, as is the case of today, their wealth in precious metals would have made them a very poor showing. Gold and silver, then, as in the case of the Aztecs, were not used at all as mediums of exchange or were used only in a very limited way. Rulers paid and received tributes in the form of gold, and converted it into articles of practical value or objects of art. Bishop Fallows on Marriage Bishop and Mrs. Samuel Fallows recently celebrated the fifthieth anniversary of their wedding. Bishop Fallows has taken up in a modified form the Emmanuel movement, and has been very successful in awakening his followers to a sense of their duty in relation to the maintenance of health "Tell them that I want to say, as St. John did, 'Little children, love one another.' Love can be cultivated like any other sentiment. It is not only an instinct, but a principle and a conviction. It is not only in the blood, but in the intellect. Love is intellectualized emotion. Young couples should be temperamentally suited and then they will blend together. They must not wait till they get $2,000 a year before they get married, and I don't approve of hasty marriages. When I married I was receiving $700 a year, and we always put something by. Love is the greatest thing of all, and if our married people had more of it there would be less divorces.—Health Culture. A Strange Lake. Captain Tilho of the French mission to the Lake Chad region in Africa has discovered some new vagaries of that puzzling body of water which has long exercised the minds of geographers with its problems. He found in 1908 that caravans were crossing on dry land the northern part of the lake-bed where, in 1904, the captain himself, had navigated an open expanse of water. The lake covers an area about four-fifths as large as Belgium, but its average depth is only five feet. Even the winds suffice to change its level to such an extent as to submerge or leave bare portions of its shores. It is entirely independent of the rivers that flow into the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Curiously enough, the lake does not occupy the lowest part of the great plain of which it is approximately the center, for observation shows that northeast of the lake there are plains of considerably lower altitude than that of the lake. The Southern Seas Readers of old records of exploration in the South seas will recall frequent references to the heavy swells of the acean, which impressed the navigators with the idea of their remoteness from land. Dr. Vaughan Cornish explains the great size of the sea waves in high southern latitudes by the fact that south of the Cape of Good Hope the prevailing wind in all longitudes is westerly. Thus when a west wind springs up it finds a long westerly swell, the effect of a previous wind, still running. The new born wind increases the steepness of this swell, and so forms majeestic storm waves, which sometimes obtain a length of 1,200 feet from crest to crest. The average height attained by sea waves in feet is about half the velocity of the wind in miles per hour. A Scientific Problem. In the center of the garden, on a pedestal, stood a large glass globe. As the guests sauntered about after dinner one of them, happening to touch it, discovered to his amazement that it was warmer on the shady side than on the side facing the gun. An argument immediately sprang up, and in the course of the debate the phenomenon was attributed to the law of reflection or that of repulsion, or something equally formidable. "I don't know what ye be a talkin' about," remarked the old gardener, who had been an attentive listener to the conversation, "but I do know that, fearin' the sun would crack this 'ere globe a while ago, I turned it around." —Exchange. FIRST, TO KEEP COOL SOME ADVICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS. Those Who, Fully Dressed, May Happen to Fall Into the Water, Have Every Opportunity of Escaping Death. Mr. Handley advises the swimmer who falls overboard fully dressed to first turn on his back and float, and while in that position to remove the coat and the shoes—and then keep on floating. He points out that swimmer can float indefinitely, but may easily tire of swimming, and, tiring, may be selzed with panic, which will drown the best of watermen. "In floating," says Mr. Handley, "one can shout all one likes, to attract the attention and still retain one's strength. And will not the chances of rescue be decidedly better if one lies comfortably awaiting developments, or propelling one's self-gently by an easy back stroke, than after using up one's energies in treading water or in making violent efforts to reach land by swimming? "Of course, this advice is hard to follow, because it is contrary to every instinct of self-preservation to quietly await developments after an unexpected and unwelcome immersion. Still training will accomplish it. As, however, it is impossible to train the body in this case, and the mind must be relied upon to offer the right suggestion at the psychological moment, one should prepare by mentally rehearsing what is to be done in case of a spill. Just picture to yourself the contingency of being thrown unexpectedly into the water and school yourself to turn immediately on your back in a floating position, at least until you have had an opportunity to recover from the shock and to size up the situation. Then you can decide comfortably on the course to follow. "Don't let panic seize you. Let the fact be always uppermost in your mind that clothes have no tendency to drag you under water, that they are a help rather than a hindrance if you only know how to take advantage of the assistance they offer. Never forget that, clothes or no clothes, your body floats naturally, so that you can stay above water almost indefinitely if you will only keep your wits about you, and the cases are rare indeed in which assistance does not come within comparatively short space of time." —Recreationly Models to Help Juries "For the guidance of the jury, counsel then produced in court a model of the house about which the dispute had arisen." Many a time, in the course of reporting a law case, had I written the above or a similar phrase, before I met the man whose studied business it is to make and supply, for legal purposes, a model of anything from a country mansion to a stretch of roadway. Probably it was the inadequacy of the language that led to his devoting himself to the producing of "ocular proof" for the guidance of juries. Even the most eloquent of counsel may fall properly to describe a situation, especially if the technicalities are apt to be confusing to the lay mind. But when the actual "situation" in miniature is produced in court, the gib tongue of counsel is silenced by comparison. For in the words of the old Roman poet: "Those things stimulate us less which are heard by the ear than those which are presented to the faithful eye."—Andrew Soutar in the Strand. An Egg Defense. A Chicago grocer's boy had a lively half-hour round with an ugly fox terrier in his father's store a few days ago. The dog drove the boy into a corner, and the only available weapon was a crate of fresh-lald eggs. These the boy used, one at a time, on the enraged beast with telling effect, till his ammunition was all exhausted, when the dog promptly advanced and bit him in the leg. The dog then, resembling a walking omelet, appeared to be satisfied and sought a nice green lawn where the grass was tall, where he could roll and separate himself from the external egg-nog. The unfortunate part of the affair was the fact that the eggs were too fresh to do much good. If the boy had had the presence of mind to have gotten near a crate of stale eggs, or even near-fresh eggs, the dog might have been stopped by the first one over the plate. Hard Task to Save Life. A painful and somewhat sensational adventure befell Mr. Boyd, an engineer of Didsbury, Manchester, England, the other Sunday, while he was exploring a "pot-hole" in the limestone district near Ingleborough. He was climbing by means of a rope from a subterranean chamber, when the rope broke, and he fell 30 feet, breaking his thigh. A local doctor spent the night with him, and his friends strapped him to a plank, holsted him a hundred feet to the roof of the cave, then carried him a quarter of a mile through a tortuous passage to the outer world, the task occupying 15 hours. It was not till four o'clock on the Monday afternoon that Mr. Boyd was safely deposited at the nearest inn. In Papa'e Footsteps: "You must not go on the railroad track, Cyril," said the comedian's wife to her little boy. "Why, papa used to walk there, didn't he, mamma?" It Was the Prize Package Given With Mexican Palace That H. Clay Pierce Bought. H. Clay Pierce, St. Louis oil magnate, is now the owner of the Borda Gardens at Ceurnavaca, Mexico, and may be said to be the custodian of the ghost of the Borda Gardens. Nothing was said about it when Mr. Pierce paid $15,000 for the historic spot which was the favorite summer haunt of Emperor Maximilian and Queen Carlotta in the days of Mexico's splendor as an empire. But it is to be supposed that the ghost, having occupied the gardens without leave these many years, will continue to do so, and an occasional gilmpe of the ghostly intruder may be vouchsafed to the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce after Mr. Pierce has spent $100,000 in restoring the gardens and they are ready to entertain their friends there. Mrs. Pierce, who will be the mistress of the mansion of the mad empress, is an Edwardsville (Ill.) woman, the daughter of Maj. William M. Russell Pickett. Before her marriage to Mr. Pierce she was Mrs. Virginia Pickett Burrowes. The mansion, in recent years, has divided into several suites and has been let to tenants. These say that they often see the ghost. Whose ghost is it, and why it haunts the Borda Gardens nobody pretends to know, but it is the belief of the locality that the ghostly appearances have some relation to buried treasure and a dark crime of the long ago.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. How Hay Wrote "Little Breeches." On the train, as I journeyed to New York, I entertained myself by writing "Little Breeches." The thing was done merely for my own amusement, without the smallest thought of print. But when I showed it to Whitelaw Reid he selzed the manuscript and published it in the Tribune. By that time the lilt and swing of the Pike county ballad had taken possession of me. I was filled with the Pike county spirit, as it were, and the humorous side of my mind was entertained by its rich possibilities. Within a week after the appearance of "Little Breeches" in print all the Pike county ballads were written. After that the impulse was completely gone from me. . . . There were no more Pike county ballads in me and there never have been any since. Let me tell you a queer thing about that. From the hour when the last of the ballads was written until now I have never been able to feel that they were mine, that my mind had anything to do with their creation or that they bore any trace of kinship to my thought or my intellectual impulses. They seem utterly foreign to me—as foreign as if I had first encountered them in print as the work of somebody else. It is a strange feeling—Letter from John Hay to G. C. Eggleston, quoted in "Recollections of a Varied Life." Good Time to Turn Farmer. In theory there never was a better time than right now for a sensible man to move from city to country. The movement has been away from the farm until prices of all kinds of food and fiber are high. There is nothing in sight to indicate that prices will be greatly reduced by increased production. A crop well grown and handled with good business judgment will be reasonably sure of sale at a fair price. There never was a time when it was so easy to learn new methods and the principles of scientific farming. A man starting now may receive at once the benefit of 20 years of the experience and study of good farmers and scientific experts. For example millions of acres of land in the eastern states are almost nonproductive and thrown on the market at a low figure, simply because they are waterlogged and sour. When these farms are drained and limed they become at once productive and double in value for farm purposes. They are naturally strong and drainage and lime make their strength available.—H. W. Collingwood, in Metropolitan Magazine. The Last Stage. Mrs. De Fashion—My dear, late hours, late suppers and general social dissipation have ruined your constitution." Miss De Fashion (belle of six seasons)—I know it, ma. "And your health is miserable." "Yes, ma." "And you are losing your beauty." "It's all gone, ma." "It really is. And so is your plumpness." "I'm nothing but skin and bones." "There's no denying it, my dear, you are a mere wreck of your former self." "Too true." "What are you going to do about it?" "Get married."—New York Weekly. Nothing Subdued About Her. Fuddy—Do you believe that people acquire mental qualities from what they eat? Duddy—Hardly think so. My wife's mother eats crushed oats, mashed potatoes and whipped cream, and yet she's very pugnacious. Looking Up Father "May I see my father's record?" asked the new student. "He was in the class of 1877." "Certainly, my boy. What for?" "He told me when I left home not to disgrace him, sir, and I wish to see just how far I can go." LAMB ONCE A JOURNALIST At One Time He Was Actively Engaged on the Staff of the London Post. In connection with Lord Glenesk's recently published history of that old established London journal, the Morning Post, it is interesting to recall the fact that at one time Charles Lamb was on its staff of contributors. This gentle essayist wrote largely for a column headed "Fashionable Intelligence;" in those day, as Lamb says, "every morning paper, as an essential retainer to its establishment, kept an author who was bound to furnish daily a quantum of witted paragraphs." It was in this capacity that Lamb was engaged on the Post; furthermore his contract stipulated that in "the chat of the day, scandal, but above all, dress" he should supply six paragraphs a day, not one of which was to exceed seven lines in length, and the payment for which was to be 12 cents each. In his essay "Newspapers Thirty-Five Years Ago," Lamb seems to have been rather pleased with the "sticks" of chat he contributed to the press; we now find that "Dan Stuart," his editor, entertained a different opinion as to their value. "As for good Charles Lamb," he said, "I never could make anything of his writings. Of politics he knew nothing; they were out of his line of reading and thought, and his drollery was vapid when given in short paragraphs fit for a newspaper." HOW SHE GOT RID OF THEM Discouraged Visits From Her Nice's Children by Teaching Them Verses From the Bible. "What has become of those two children who visited you so often?" asked one West side woman of another. The other smiled discreetly. "They are the children of my niece, and she was making a convenience of me. Of course I love the children, but I never allow myself to become much of a victim of imposition. My niece is an extremely gay young widow, and she does not like to take care of her children. She is fond of shopping, matinees, afternoon teas and everything, in short, which takes her away from home, and she got into a habit of sending her children over to my house for me to take care of whenever she wished to gad about. I decided it was time to break up the habit, for her own good and that of the children, as well as mine, so I did." "I suppose that made your niece angry?" "Oh, no; it couldn't. I never said anything about it. The last time the children came over I spent the afternoon teaching them verses from the BLk.e, and they didn't find it sufficiently entertaining. They never came back. Just how they managed to work it out with their mother I do not know, but I suppose they struck or begged off. Of course, she could not object to what I had done, and it proved a very simple solution." The Boss. President McCrea of the Pennsylvania railroad, in his study of all classes of men who are under him, entertains a great admiration for the Irish foreman of a gang of laborers who went to any lengths to show his men that he was the real boss. One morning this foreman found that his gang had put a hand car on the track without his orders. "Who put that han' car-r-r on the thrack?" he asked. "We did, sor," one of the men answered respectfully. "Well," he said shortly, "take it off ag'ln!" The laborers did so with some difficulty. "Now," said the foreman, "put it on ag'ln!"—Popular Magazine. Knew She Was Right. An auction was announced of the library and household effects of a man who had once entertained in a laxish way, and among the persons who went to the sale were many who had enjoyed the fallen family's hospitality. When a set of after-dinner cups was put up one woman said: "There are only five of those, not six." The auctioneer consulted his catalogue and repiled: "Thank you; you are right," and proceeded with the sale. Then the woman whispered to the one next to her: "I knew I was right, because my husband dropped one of that set the last time we dined there." Couldn't Come Back. Enoch Arden crept softly up to the window, and peered in. The former Mrs. Arden sat talking sternly to Enoch's successor. "Do as you like," she was saying. "But remember this, it's just as I told Enoch when he got to thinking he was boss of the house: You may go away, but you can't come back." Fortunately Mr. Tennyson learned of the incident before the eminent literati of the prize ring got to it. Sensitive. "Miss Passay is furious with that society reporter." "Why so?" "He published the announcement of her approaching wedding under the column headed 'Late Engagements.'" —Life. A Hero. The Player—You're a lover of music, aren't you, Mr. Smith!

Of some of the crude and outgrown methods used on China's Grand canal a writer in the North China Daily News remarks: "The junction of the real canal with the Wet river was not by means of a lock, but simply a high and steeply sloping mud bank, over which the grain vessels had to be dragged by the force of perhaps many hundreds of men. It should be borne in mind that in China the lock of a canal is not much more like our idea of what that name connotes than it is like a padlock. Amid constant and often serious changes of level, with an uncertain and not infrequently a scanty supply of water, and with a grain fleet which traveled in blocks of some eighty vessels under one officer, it was necessary to devise some way for keeping them together and for transferring them as a consolidated unit with this in view. "For this reason a Chinese lock on the Grand canal is nothing but a stone gateway into which large boards may be lowered through a groove in the stones, restraining most of the water from its flow, until there is a depth sufficient to float all the craft, when the boards are pulled up and the entire fleet passes through. "After this the boards are again lowered for another division of the grain boats. In case the water gives out—a by no means unlikely occurrence—there is nothing to do but to wait until more comes from somewhere." --- Bride Was Deaf. At a marriage service performed some time ago in a little countrychurch in Berkshire, when the minister said in solemn tone, "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?" Instead of the woman answering for herself, a griff man's voice answered: "Oi will." Again the minister looked up surprised, not knowing what to make of it, when one of the groomsmen at the end of the row said: "Er be deaf. Ol be answerin' for 'er.'—London Telegraph.
