VOL.XXXI NO 20 FALSE PROPHETS FALSE PROPHETS THE LAST LESSON. Preaching a Means of Earning a Live ing—Lying Politicians. Editor The Bee: "Beware of false prophets," is one of the last lessons taught His disciples while the Lowly Nazarine was here woon the earth. And this reminds us of the fact that there are false prophets in the political as well as in the religious world. There are men who take it upon themselves to preach as a means of making a living without facing the hot sun to do it. The Lord Jesus warns us to beware of such false prophets; for many of them would come in His name. There are men of this day and generation who would deceive the very elect of heaven, if they could, for a few glittering silver dollars. There are men who occupy the pulpit from Sabbath to Sabbath as representatives of the blood-stained banner of the Lord Jesus simply for what they can get out of the business. They pay but little attention to the words of our text, which was thundered from the peaks of Mount Sinai centuries ago: "Beware of false prophets, for many will come in My name" etc., etc. As there are false prophets in the religious world, there are also false prophets and so-called leaders in the political world. There are those who declare themselves to be in love with the Negro race, and is therefore very deeply interested in their future well-being. But deep down in their hearts they have a feeling for the almighty dollar, and will get it, too, at the expense of the Negro race, if the race be not wise enough to check them ere it be too late. Man—wicked and deceitful man—has caused the abandonment of many a sweet and promising noble woman by his lying and deceitful tongue of pretentious love to her. She accepts his sweet talk and promises, only to shed tears and regret it afterwards, and is left to battle with her future life's journey as best she can, while he, the miserable wretch, goes on and fares sumptuously as though he had made happy instead of having shattered the future hopes of the weaker sex. This brings us back to the thought of the political struggle through which the colored race has gone thus far. Lying politicians and so-called leaders of the race have played successfully the love game to the race ever since the colored people have had the privilege of handling the ballot. And as soon as they get what they want their love for their people ceases until they want to use them for something else. The race, like the poor deluded woman, is left to go over life's rugged road as best it can. And the time has come for the colored voters, everywhere, to wake up and be on the alert for these sweet talkers who appear to be so deeply in love with the race. Let us encourage those who are for the right thing; but d— the rascals who dare to use the race as a stepping-stone for their personal gain. Away with those fellows—the palms of whose hands never cease itching for dollars gotten at the expense of their own people. You will pardon us for going a step farther; but I am going to shut my eyes right here and hew to the line, let the chips strike or fall where they may! We sometimes think it is very unfortunate that there has sprung up among us what is known as the National Independence League. There are some as good men in this league as can be found anywhere outside of it; but the sole aim of some of the "bosses" of that concern is to gain cheap notoriety and to 6-BEF start a bank account at the expense of the race with which they claim to be so greatly in love. It costs nothing to join the Republican party; it costs nothing to be a Democrat, a Prohibitionist, or an Independent, and why, pray tell us, should a fee of one dollar or more be charged to get within speaking distance of the National Independence League? Where does the money go? For what purpose is it used? We have contended—and is of the same opinion now—that ministers of the gospel should take part in politics. But we never shall believe that they should get down off the gospel horse and hitch him aside and assume the right of a boss on the job. For there are some as big rascals in the pulpit as can be found in the whiskey saloons, sitting at the gambling table, I have called no name. So each one of the preachers that reads this epistle of mine may ask himself the question: "Lord, is it I?" I shall say more about the National Independence League later on. We shall applaud the leaders so long as they make an earnest fight for the good of the race; but if any of them are in the business to start a bank account at the expense of the oppressed millions of their race, I, for one, in the language of General Grant, "Will move upon their works." J. C. CUNNINGHAM. THE PEOPLE COME OUT IN THE RAIN. Speeches Made and Resolutions Adopted Asking for the Removal of R. C. Bruce—Not a Dissenting Vote. The mass meeting of citizens held in True Reformers' Hall last Friday evening, October 7, was, in every respect, a success. The people are thoroughly aroused over the condition of the colored public schools, which was demonstrated when there was not a protest entered or a negative vote cast against the adoption of the resolutions of condemnation of Major Judson and the removal of R. C. Bruce, the assistant superintendent of schools. At 8:30 o'clock Attorney W. Calvin Chase called the meeting to order, and said, among other things, that the time had come for the colored people to interest themselves in their schools; that there is a feeling of unrest and distrust among the colored teachers and the people who are interested in the colored schools. Mr. Chase then called the attention of his hearers to the action of Major Judson, who had the colored pupils and teachers in the colored schools counted, and then said that there were too many teachers for the number of pupils, and upon that suggestion the assistant superintendent failed to fill the vacancies in the schools that had been made vacant by death, resignation or expulsion. Did Major Judson violate the rules of the schools? In the first place, stated Mr. Chase, he was not connected with the schools, and neither did he ask permission to have counted or to count the number of pupils and teachers in the colored schools. Under miscellaneous heading of the rules and by-laws of the Board of Education, is the following: "All persons connected with the public schools are hereby forbidden to furnish to any person or persons not connected with said schools or to those connected, except, for school purposes, any list or lists of the pupils, teachers or other employees therein, unless by special permission of the board." Under the rules it can be readily seen, said Mr. Chase, that Major Judson had grossly violated the rules of the Board of Education. The speaker referred to the demotion and transfer of the Misses Patterson and many others, and the dismissal of Mr. A. R. Dyson. The Nalle and Baily cases were referred to as personal friends of the assistant superintendent. Those gentlemen can remember how kind and just the assistant superintendent, Bruce, was towards them. Teachers in our schools today, remarked the speaker, are suffering with nervous prostration. At the conclusion of Mr. Chase's remarks, Attorney A. W. Scott was introduced and delivered a most eloquent address, which was applauded throughout. Attorney Scott paid his respect to Dr. Terrell, of Howard University, who, when he went before the Senate committee of Congress, the attorney charged him with having apologized to the committee and making a denial of the charges of discrimination against the colored schools by the white people. He thought the people should have a change in the schools, but he doubted the ability of the people to remove Bruce, because he was just the kind of a Negro the white people want. He was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his address. Rev. L. C. Moore, formerly a member of the legislature of Mississippi was the next speaker. He declared if the Board of Education didn't remove Bruce, he was certain that the next Congress, which would be Democratic, would remove him, and you can be assured of it. Attorney Marion T. Clinkscales was the next speaker. His speech was logical and forcible. At the conclusion of the speech-making the following preamble and resolutions were read by the chairman of the committee on resolutions, and unanimously adopted: Preamble and Resolution Whereas we the citizens of Washington, District of Columbia, have met in public meeting for the purpose of discussing the gross irregularities that exist in our colored public schools and to protest against the longer retention of Roscoe C. Bruce, the present assistant superintendent, believing as we do that the longer retention of said Bruce in our schools is a menace to their good government and success; and. Whereas the Board of Education is not truthfully informed by the colored officials of the real condition of the colored schools and the constant unrest that seems to exist on the part of the colored teachers, thus unfitting them to properly teach our children by virtue of such unrest, partiality, and discrimination; the appointment of favorites to the detriment of worthy and deserving graduates from our normal school, make the colored public school system the vehicle to satisfy the ambition and whims of those who for self aggrandizement deteriorate a system that has heretofore been equal to any public school system in the United States. The action of the Engineer Commissioner, without the authority of the Board of Education or right, sent employees of the District government to our schools while in session, and counted the number of colored pupils in said schools, who reported that the number of teachers in the colored public schools were too many for the number of pupils therein, and should be dispensed with. That the assistant superintendent, to appease the so-called recommendation of said Engineer Commissioner did refuse to recommend for appointment in our schools deserving teachers who were eligible for appointment in those schools that were closed. Not since the foundation of our school system have such gross violations of rules been perpetrated by any of our former superintendents, George F. T. Cook or Prof. W. S. Montgomery, who were faithful and judicious officials of our public schools. The colored public schools under their present management are deteriorating; teachers are restless; our nor- WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., SA W. H. mal school graduates are discriminated against; the sister-in-law of the assistant superintendent of our schools has been made an assistant principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, over more deserving teachers, thus practicing nepotism to the detriment of teachers more competent and who have been shining lights in our colored public schools. That the feeling of unrest that has long existed, and continues to exist; that constant baby orders that have been and continue to be promulgated by the assistant superintendent are menaces to good school government, and they don't exist in our white schools under the superintendency of Mr. Stewart, or any of his assistants. That a strong man of executive ability and influence with the people; one that has their respect and confidence is needed at the head of the colored public schools before they will be recognized by the great educators of the country, or be entitled to a standing in the educational institutions of the land. Be it, therefore. PUBLIC MEN (By the Sage) James A. Cobb,尔里, Mass., who Emmett Scott a derson.

Resolved, further, That we indorse the stand taken by the Board of Education in asserting its rights in the premises, and believe that Congress was wise and just in taking our schools out of the hands of the Commissioners. Resolved, That we condemn the unjust transfer and demotion of Miss Belle Kinner from the Deanwood, D.C., school, that she had made a success, and the transfer of F. L. Cordozoa, formerly the advertising agent of "The Teacher," a school magazine of Roscoe C. Bruce, the present assistant superintendent of the colored schools. That said transfer and demotion of Miss Kinner is a gross violation of the rules of the Board of Education, and is sufficient in itself to cause the removal of said Bruce from the superintendency of the colored public schools. Resolved, further, That we condemn as unjust, and in violation of good school government the transfer and demotion of the Misses Janie and Emma Patterson, and the unjust dismissal of Mr. A. R. Dyson, a normal school graduate. Resolved, further, That the many acts of favoritism, nepotism, discrimination, and unfitness to manage properly the colored public schools, the lack of confidence of 90,000 colored people have in said Roscoe C. Bruce, we, the colored citizens in mass meeting assembled, demand the removal of said Bruce from office of assistant superintendent of the colored public schools. Resolved, further, That the chairman of this meeting be and hereby is authorized and directed to appoint a committee of fifteen citizens to present a copy of these preambles and resolutions to the members of the Board of Education, and inform said board the wishes of the people. Resolved, further, if no action is taken by the Board of Education to relieve the schools and people of this burden, said committee is directed to lay grievances of the people before both the Senate and House District Committees of Congress.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 15 1920 PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) James A. Cobb is back from Beverly, Mass., where he accompanied Emmett Scott and Charles W. Anderson. Just like the insurgents who made pilgrimages to Oyster Bay immediately after the return of the "Lion Killer," he reports "a very satisfactory interview," whatever that is. The Editor of The Bee very kindly, and pointedly, announced last week, editorially, that he would not be responsible for opinions expressed in this column, and that this department is to be a sort of free lance. That puts it up to "we, us and company" to thrust, or parry, advance or retreat of our own initiative. It has been suggested to The Bee that it introduce as a new feature a gossipy letter, dealing with light, frothy, insensible things, addressed to Anna Ocea Oliver, and signed by Dorothy Randolph Taylor. Much as the editor would like to please the requests for such a letter, he advises that he is utterly unable to find an inmate of St. Elizabeth willing to impair his chances of recovering from the malady of insanity by attempting to write such a letter. Prof. DuBois is still the cynic of old, although a little more so. His splendid paper read before Bethel Literary Society was marred by that narrow, cynical, jealous spirit that appears to be his particular and cultivated characteristic. When you have said that Prof. DuBois is a scholar, you have said all. A leader he can never be, for he lacks the first and prime requisite of a leader, to wit: tolerance. Disappointed because the people will not accept and proclaim him leader, he displays his teeth, indulges in personalities, detracts not only from his peers but his superiors. In the discussion that followed Prof. DuBois' paper, and I don't recall when I ever heard a more acrimonious debate at Bethel, my friend Napoleon Marshall displayed how fatiguing a big law practice is, and its tendency to make a man conceived, when he assumed all the credit for voicing protests against the dismissal of the Brownsville soldiers. According to dear old Napoleon, he alone was the Cincinnatus that left his plow to fight their cause. There were many others, Mr. Marshall, but they did it unselfishly and without a retainer fee. Prof. Kelly Miller gave fresh evidence of his peculiar ability to straddle the fence without so much as tearing a slit in either leg or seat of his trousers. He spoke, too, at the DuBois meeting, but he dealt in glittering generalities, and when he had finished his epitome of words, not one word had he uttered that would shed a tear, arouse animosity, or influence a single being for or against. Prof. Miller is alone and a bright particular star in the amazing, befuddling act of sitting on the fence. Lieut. Thomas R. Clarke's course in defending his fallen chief against the unreasonable and ill-conceived criticism of Prof. DuBois has called forth many words of praise. There was no doubt in the minds of even the Professor's friends that when he launched into his reference to, and criticism of, Mr. Vernon's reported Kansas school interview, that the cynical professor had read Mr. Vernon's denial. Mr. Vernon was not there to defend himself, so Lieut. Clarke Valiantly became the Ivanhoe who entered the list and struck the Gil Blar full and fair. And he did it so modestly, so unostentatiously and so promptly. Many a secretary to a chief who had been given a lettre sachet that spelled finis would have remained silent, for it has never been popular to champion the fallen --- in Washington. But not so with the handsome, debonair, capable Lieutenant. In him is the stuff they make men of. I see Bishop Walters, Monroe Trotter, Nap Marshall, and the twin elders, Waldron and Corrothers, those sainted one-day-in-the-week hearers of the cross, and dear old "stock delegates" of the memorable campaign of 1908, held a meeting here last week and indorsed all the Democratic candidates in the country who look like ready money. Just why these colored Democrats selected Washington in which to hold their first Democratic-annex meeting is not divulged. These patriots, probably, are not so much concerned about their dear people as you might suppose. It probably would be a severe temptation to some men if the Republicans would hang out a purse for a race against time that would be a few dollars in excess of the limit of the Democratic purse. It was Mark Hanna, we believe, who gave expression to that now axiomatic truth—"every man has his price." It is a sight that would cause Lazarus to again return to earth, and again have himself buried in the cold, cold grave, leaving behind the request to never again to raise him from the dead. Col. James Lewis, Governor Pinchback, and Judge M. W. Gibbs, three left-overs from the awful reconstruction days, were almost daily together during Col. Lewis' visit in Washington for the past fortnight. These three men, now "in the seer and yellow leaf," but with intellects as keen as before the war, never fail to call up reminiscences of a long by-gone day when they, in the fore-front of the battle, stormed up the battlements and planted there, right on the parapet, the banner of Negro advance. They are three grand old men, a little disfigured, but still in the ring at 77, 75 and 87, respectively. * * * I never observe one of the colored high school cadets pass me that my mind does not revert to Maj. Arthur Brooks and the part he has taken in year after year giving us a splendid battalion of cadets, an unexcelled annual exhibition drill, and a set of erect, military young men. Young colored boys who are attending high school, or who have attended high school here, cannot begin to realize how much they owe the soldierly, erect, modest, and efficient Major. And when it comes to a knowledge of military tactics and affairs there's where Maj. Arthur Brooks stands out like a highly polished brass button on a uniform coat—observable to all. COLOR QUESTIONS RESULT IN WRATH. Queries Put to Negroes at Polls Bring Charge of Illegal Procedure. Several Fights Narrowly Averted at Registration. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 7. Negro voters of the city are up in arms. They rebel against the methods of registration instituted yesterday throughout the various precincts. It is declared that the color line is drawn and that Negro citizens are placed in an embarrassing position by the questions on the registration blanks. Further than this it is charged by W. R. Green, Negro, Republican candidate for representative, that the Cleveland board of elections is conducting the registration this year illegally. The assertion is made that all racial distinctions should be barred and that every voter, whether white or black, should be regarded on the same footing. When Negro citizens appeared at the registration booths yesterday they were confronted with queries, the allegation is made, bearing upon their color. This had never happened before, say the Negroes of the city. Some of the younger Negroes became wryly. In several booths free figths were imminent. Clerk Hears Complaints. Adolph Haas, chief clerk of the Cleveland board of elections, admitted last night that the methods of registration this fall had occasioned numerous complaints from the Negro element yesterday. Chief Clerk Haas said that this new phase of registration was introduced in order to better identify the voters and to prevent any repeating and other difficulties that might arise. Heretofore the color line has never been drawn on registration blanks. The board of elections has relied on age, birthplace, occupation and the like. Not only the Negroes but a number of white men were indignant at being asked whether they were "white or black." Citizens declare that one's eyes ought to tell whether a man is white or black without going through all the embarrassing red-tape formalities of such procedure. One white man in an East End precinct was boiling over with indignation at the racial query, and threatened the clerk if any more similar questions were asked him. These were the sentiments of W. R. Green, a well-known Cleveland attorney and candidate for representative: "This racial distinction is against the law. The board of elections has no right to ask the Negro or white man for that matter any such question. The necessary facts can be obtained without resorting to those out-of-the-way schemes. It never has been done before, and why should Cleveland begin now? Lots of protests were filed yesterday by Negro citizens on that account. The word 'color' should be erased from the reg- PARAGRAPHIC NEWS (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) After twenty-two years of waiting, James Cummins, of Custer, Mich, too modest to tell of his bravery, has received from the Treasury Department a gold medal for his part in saving 44 lives from a wreck on November r. 1898. Associate Justice Charles Evans Hughes, former Governor of New York, has assumed his duties as a member of Supreme Court. Andrew Warren, an aged bachelor, in his will, executed November 16, 1907, bequeaths $50,000 to the American Bible Society. Hampton Institute received $6,600 from the estate of Horace B. Silliman. The commission in charge of the Illinois Hall of Fame, at Champaign, has decided that the late Philip D. Armour is entitled to recognition, owing to his services in promoting the livestock industry in the United States. Cardinal Logue, the prelate of Ireland, who is in Durham, N. C., to attend the consecration service of St. Patrick's Cathedral, said: "The colored people should have been educated first, then gradually emancipated. It was a mistake to set them free, untutored and helpless. In memory of the beginning of the American Navy, and of Benedict Arnold, while he was still a "patriot," numbers of the Daughters of the American Revolution scattered flowers on the island where he distinguished himself. Josiah W. Thompson transferred to the Standard Oil Company 550,000 acres of coal land, for which the Standard Oil Company paid $100,000,-000. A new course of drawing, including printing, color, designing and constructive work, will be taught in the public schools of this city. A. T. Stuart, superintendent of the public schools, advocates a system of free lectures at the schools, both for pupils and parents. He proposes that these lectures treat of live, interesting subjects, of popular, scientific and historical character. For the first time in the history of New York State politics, the Democrats find the moneyed interests lined up with them. Dr. W. D. Tardif, a colored physician, of Stanford, Ky., has patented a coupling device which will enable an engineer of a train to uncouple his engine from the train while sitting in his cabin. Several railroads are anxious to buy the patent outright. American Minister Furniss, of Port au Prince, states that President Simon, of Hayti, recently bought from an American firm 1,000 Springfield rifles, and that an order for 2,000 more soon will be bought. They formerly patronized Europe. It is said Booker T. Washington will tour the State of North Carolina as he did Delaware. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former Liberian minister, has been appointed pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, in Baltimore, Md. Dr. Lyon was formerly pastor of said church, leaving there seven years ago to become American minister. A movement has started in North Carolina to establish a reformatory for Negro boys. It is said Miss Nannie A. Foulkes, colored, gave $1,000, her lifelong savings while employed in one family toward the reformatory. Before making up your suits for winter, consult "The Queen of fashions," McClure's magazine. It is said the faculty of Tuskegee Institute number 180.

The son says that his father was placed in an extremely embarrassing light yesterday by the clerks in one registration booth. Other Negroes in Ward 13 were wrathy last night. Gathered in various halls throughout the city and at political meetings they discussed this new phase of registration. Some of them threatened to take the matter up at once with the city officials and have the word "color" blue-penciled from the registration blanks. At the Howard. The next attraction at the Howard Theater will be the Howard Stock Company in the new musical comedy entitled "My Friend From Dixie," an original comedy, written by J. Lubin Hill, who has been a producer with Williams and Walker shows for the past three years. He has also composed many song hits for the late Honest Hogan. The music for this production was written especially by Mr. Hill. All members of the Howard Stock Company have been with the big shows.

The Making of Acrobats Begins at an Early Ace. ee ee It 1s nothing unusual for the larger circuses to carry thirty and forty ehil- dren, ranging all the way from mere bables to boys and girls of fifteen and sixteen years of age. The majority are traveling with their parents, both the father and mother doing daily duty in the ring, and while often they are trained to follow in the steps of their elders they are seldom allowed to per- form in public. It is 2 common bellef among circus men that the performer whose training 4s not started until after the age of alx will seldom make a distinctive record. Following the afternoon show I often saw groups of boys, some of whom could not have been over four and five years old, practicing rudimentary som- ersanits and hand springs, whild their parents looked on with a gratified smile.

A Sponge That Works. “Flere is a clever notlon—a fog bell,” said an old New England fisherman, On a bleak, gray afternoon they stood at the seashore—the old man and his city cousin from Boston. A great bell hung from a scaffold, and under a metal cover hung a great sponge. “This here machinery is wound up regular,” the fisherman erplained, “and this -here sponge is kept under cover so as the rain can’t get at it. In dry weather, natch’rally, the sponge is dry and light; in foggy, though, it gets heavy with fog satch’rations, just heavy enough for to press down the lever that starts the machinery a-golng.

With @ view to a ttle fun at his sisters’ expense, he told the chauffeur to ‘let “er out’ as much as was consistent with safety, at the same time warn- ing the sisters that they shouldn't speak to the chauffeur as he was a very nervous man and mustn’t be disturbed when he was driving a car. “Everything was quict In the ton- neau while the driver went rushing out into the suburbs and through the parks.

Feminine Nature of Crowds. Crowds are everywhere © distin- guished by feminine characteristics, not always revealing the best in- stincts which are associated with the nature of woman, but thls crowd was remarkable for {ts kindly tolerance, ‘womanly tenderness and consideration for the woman. and children and for those who were overcome by the long hours of waiting and the sufferings of the heat and thirst. So much at- tention has been pald to the criminal actions of crowds that the influetice they exert has come to be looked upon 2g necessarily demoralizing.

A curlosity in natural history that must surpass all records has been ob- served in a garden not far from Alder shot, says the London Dally Mail A number of wasps were heard buzzing about a particular rhododendron bush. Tho gardener summoned the owner of the garden, and the two proceeded to slaughter. Within half an hour fifty queen wasps had been killed. The next day 4 number more were buzzing about the bush under the same fatal but obscure attraction. It was noticed that the wasps were only attracted to this single bush, which is one of many. A suggested reason {s that the flowers were a lt- tle fifther advanced and so more full of honey, but as a rule color 4s al- most as strong an allurement as scent or the honey sense. It 4s not unusual for'a few queen wasps to be killed at this season, when the time for nest making is approaching, but this quantity is un- paralleled. The experience suggests that the wasp might be exterminated, supposing this to be desirable, if we all grew specimens of this favored flower. The special fondness of queen wasps for white flowers of particular sorts has been observed before, and some gardeners grow such on purpose, but fifty in half an hour is a new rec ord of slaughter. The queens were killed by pinching the flowers into which they dived and which served es a shroud to the quan- tty of bodies lying around the deadly ambush of the rhododendron.

When the dog saw the cat it started for it as fast as It could go, and when the cat saw the dog it turned on full Power at once and fairly jumped to clear the remaining space to the other side of the street. where it halted with its back against a tall fron picket fence and faced the dog. “Instantly the dog jumped for the cat, but even more quickly up went the cat's paw to sweep the alr down- ward, and a cat’s claws are very sharp and a dog's nose Is very tender and delicate, and the dog didn't close. In a moment he jumped for the cat again, but again the cat clawed him off, or the fear of the claws was enough to make the dog shy again. “But the next time evidently the dog was going to close in and rough house things and take the chances; and do you know what the cat did now? The cat is.a very compressible creature; it can get through a very small space; and now this particular yellow cat backed in between two of those iron pickets to the inner side of the fence; but ft didn't run away. It stayed right there, close to the in- ner side-of the fence, which the dog couldn't get through, and when the dog came up for that last time the cat struck at it again through the fence with that swift, silent sweep of {ts paw, swung this time, as it seemed, with a sort of savagely cool contemptuousness. Then the foolish /dog ran away. | “We may not fancy the cat, but wo should err if we failed to give it at Jeast some measure of admiration for the shifty ability with which {it holds ,its own against its ndtural enemy.” “HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED” Wives No Longer Mope at Home While Husband Spends His Time at the Club. If wives continue to grow sensible at the present rate, the time will ‘come when everybody will know “how to be happy, though married.” Time was when the picture of the wife moping at home, while the hus- band took his night off at the club, was a true one. It Isn't so these days, a writer declares. When the modern husband says to the modern wife, “My dear, I'm go- ing to dine at the club Thursday night; I may be rather late,” the mod- ern wife says cheerfully, “Very well, dear,” and sits down to Indite Invt- ta{lons to a dozen or so of her friends ‘for a nice little hen party for Thurs- day night, And there's just as good a time at the hen party as the- husband fs having at the club, too. There fs a perfect Httle dinner of the most ex- pensive delicacies of the season, and then there is bridge. And who wor. ries about what her husband fs doing at the club when there Is bridge to be played? Not the modern wife. They play for stakes at these hen parties, too. In fact, all the comforts of the club, to change an old saying a little, are fast being appropriated by these poor deserted wives. Chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums stand fourth in commercial {mportance among flow- ers. Only the rose, the violet and the carnation surpass them, and that chiefly because the chrysanthemum season {s so short, while the others can be had from the florist nearly the whole year round, Greece gave us the name. Chrysanthemum means “gold- en flower.” -But the name was invent- ed long before the big butter yellow globes were known In the occldent. It referred to the prevailing gold in the small varieties that were known, Strangely enough, the first chrysan- themum brought into Europe was not gold, but purple.

Mr. Hill is a song writer, and gained fame as a composer of the ever-popular song, "My Dehomian Queen." He has written all of this new comedy, entitled "My Friend From Dixie," in which he is associated with Musical Director W. H. Vodery. The lyrical numbers are by Alonzo A. Govern, author of "I Miss Thee, Loree." Additional lyrics by Coleman L. Minor. They promise that many beautiful numbers will be heard when the curtain rises on "My Friend From Dixie." Another favorite is in the personage of Miss Leona Marshall, a dashing soubrette. Miss Marshall will be easily remembered as Minnehaha in last season's "Red Moon" company. She was the lending soubrette of the famous Pekin Theater of Chicago for several seasons. Mr. R. Shelton, who is the principal comedian, comes to us highly recommended. This will be his first appearance in our city. He has a wide Western reputation of being a born comedian. A few seasons ago he was the leading comedian of the "Hottest Coon" company, and is a genuine fun-maker. The leading man is Mr. Will Brown. He comes from the team of Gains & Brown, of vaudeville fame. He is a fine talker, singer, dancer, and he is sure to get lots of laughs for the comedian. Mr. Louis Mitchell is considered one of our best character actors. He comes from the Cole & Johnson show. He is a tenor, and as an old man impersonator he will be seen to much advantage. The male quartette consists of Messrs. Woody, Ray, Gibson and Reilly. This quartette have just returned from Europe, where they have just finished a two years' engagement over the Stoll-Moss vaudeville circuit. They will be seen in some clever dancing. Miss Mamie Butler, the phenomenal contralto, justly styled the "Little Lady with the Big Voice," will be heard in a song expressly written for her entitled "Meet Me When the Sun Goes Down." The ladies' quartette consists of clever young ladies, the Misses Carter, Turner, Robinson and Gideon—all show girls of the first water. The chorus of about 30 will complete the company. In talking to Mr. Vodery, he is entirely satisfied with the chorus, and makes the assertion that he will have as good a singing show as ever any colored company has had in our city. The entire company is now rehearsing day and night. New costumes are being made in New York, new scenery and stage effects are being added, and Mr. Lew Henry, the efficient stage manager, is kept busy preparing and getting in readiness for the opening night. Entire production is staged under the personal direction of the author, Mr. J. Lubrie Hill. The Theatre for the People TNear7thSt.N.W.

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 atti- tude 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 Repub- lican 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 de- stroyed; that the Union should be preserved; and, true to its principles and in keeping with his own declara- tion, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondsmen.- 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, feel- ing 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 im- possible 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. * “In the matter of public education, the difference between the two par- tios is marked. In the ‘North, where the Republicans -generally control. education among the colored people is widely diffused, «while in the Dem- ocratic South the percentage of il- literacy is very great. - “The Democratic legislators fail to provide equal school facilities for the two races, and in several States the facilities, already meager, have re- cently been matcrially reduced. In Louisiana no Afro-American child re: ceived public instruction above the fifth grade, and there is: a general movement throughout the Southern Democratic States to confine the edu- cation of the Afro-American children to the lower grades. The movement to divide the school money between whites and Afro-Americans in propor- tion to their contributions in taxes to the school fund arises in one Democratic Southern State after an- other, the purpose of which is to per- petuate 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 Re- publican member present voted against the amendment, while many Democrats yoted for it. “The platform adopted by the Re- publican party at Chicago contains a plank which stands squarely and unequivocally for all the civil and political rights of the Afro-American People.” The campaign book then cites the various resolutions introduced in re- cent sessions of Congress providing for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendinents. Where They are Employed. The Republicans, in an effort to emphasize their employment of the Negro, say: _ “The Library of Congress is one of ‘of the Patent Office is an Afro-Ameri- can, Henry E. Baker, of Mississippi, who draws $2,100 a year. He has ‘been an Sapper 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-Ameri- cans. There are a number of high- grade Afro-American clerks in the office. “There are 2,998 Afro-Americans serving the government under the Postofice Department, and their an- nual salaries aggregate $2,348,424. Among these are: included postmas- ters, assistant postmasters, clerks, let- ter carriers, rural mail carriers, and railway mail clerks. There are nearly 300 Afro-American postmasters, some Jof whom have charge of Presidential offices.” | There are 512 Negroes in the Chi- carro postoffice, 21 in the Houston (Texas) office, 43 in the Jacksonville (Fla.)_postoffice, 30 colored in the postoffice in Montgomery, Alay, and 12 in the St. Paul (Minn.) office. “AM of the letter carriers at the Muskoyee (Okla.) postoffice are col- ored men, They draw salaries amount- ing to $10,260 annually,” says the campaign book. “Fourteen are em- [ployed in Kansas City, 13.in Colum: bus. Ohio. | “The total force of the Mobile (Ala) Postoffice consists of 33 clerks, 16 Afro-Americans and 17 whites,” says the repoit. “The 32 carriers are all colored. The Afro-American em- ployes receive annually $42,400. “James A. Cobb, appointed Assist- ant District Attorney for the District of Columbia, prepares cases for pros- ccution under the pure food law and has charge of forfeited bond cases. “There are 15 Negroes in the Tn- tentel Revenue Service at Louisville, Y. “S._L. Williams, Special Assistant District Attorney at Chicago, has charge of the naturalization casec. Mr. Williams is a colored man,” says the campaign book. One more extract will be quoted from this remarkable chapter. It fol- lows “There sre 243 Afro-American offi cials and employes in the employ of the Federal government in the State of Louisiana, and their annual sal- aties aggregate $228.662..

Bascom Slemp, the Repub- lican gladiator of the State of Vir- gima. is a candidate for Congress in the Ninth district, of Virginia. The eyes of the whole country are on this district and the contest. Mr. Slemp is working for re-election to Congress, where he has ‘faithful- ly served his people for more than three years. From the time he en- tered Congress to the present, his lot has been a busy one. -He set out at once to sed what was best for his dis- trict and State, applying his time and energy to the Icgislation suited for his district and country at large. The things he has accomplishe¢ speak for themselves. Every bit of legislation for the interest of the pco- ple-found Mr. Slemp a ready advocate. | When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was under consideration in the Housc of Representatives, he got busy and worked with other members, who rep- resented similar interests in their dis- tricts, to preserve in the bill great principles of protection. ‘ Mr. Slemp had in mind the great living industries of the Southwest, such as coal, iron ore and other min- erals; also vast lumber mills of that country, that mean so much to the people of that section. | ~The farmer, coal operator and iron manufacturer’ were all protected. in the tariff bill, through his efforts. Had these articles been put upon the free) list, mountain bats and rats in three; years would take possession of the great coal mines of that sec- tion. = a Under the Republican administra- tion, to-day the farmer can sell his cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens by ‘telephone or telegraph. e These are the peoplé Mr. Slemp has worked for. He would not support any legislation that curtailed the farm- er’s market or reduced the laborer'’s wages, or caused the suspension of manufacturing interests of: the coun- try. He gave his section increased free delivery service. Nine thousand dollars was given by him, which was going into every man’s and woman’s pocket, towards the erection and repairing of build- ings in that section. He asked the mark the graves of the Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington Cemetery, on the banks 6f the Potomac River. Inasmuch as he has done more for that State than ahy other man since the close of the war, it shall be wise for the people of the Ninth district to take Lincoln's advice, “Don’t swap horses while crossing the stream,” but return Mr. Slemp to Congress, where he can continue in his great work for the people of Virginia. There is no man in the National halls of Congress who has done so much in such 2 lit- tle time. What he has accomplished is better seen than told. > His Record in Congress.

In a speech before the House, delivered on Tuesday, March 8, 1910, he said, among other things: “There is no more important branch of the postal service than that of the rural free delivery. It reaches the homes of our country people; it brings the life of the farmer closer to the world at large. It removes in a large degree his isolation, thus con- tributing to his social happiness, and is the principal benefit derived by our farming population through the distri- bution of public funds.” . “The Republican party that inaugu- rated the great system that connects ‘the homes of our country citizens with the busy marts of industry, is commit- ted to an extension and an improve- ment of the system. No Iegisktive acts would be more appreciated by our country people than legislation of this character. Public sentiment strongly favors it.” He has made every possible effort to extend the rural free delivery serv- ice in the Ninth District, with the re- sult that on July 1, 1910, there were 136 routes in operation, the total cost of which for the current fis¢al year, as estimated by the Postoffice Depart- ment, will be $122,237.00 The resi- dents of the Ninth District get both the benefit of this splendid mail fa- cility ‘and of this large amount of money whiclris thus expended in the district annually, adding materially to the monéy supply that makes the Prosperity of the people. ~The Republican party. inaugurated, and has consistently fostered, this great benefit to the farmers and coun- try residents, and in ten years the number of routes established totals 40,628, requiring an expenditure for the year 1909 of $35,661,034.00. This | for the especial benefit of the farmers. Dr. William A.

Up to a certain age the brain remains plastic enough so that if an injury occurs to the thought brain the person can begin over again and create new knowledge centers in the other hemisphere. This has happened in many cases where young people have lost certain powers or faculties by cerebral lesions and have afterward recovered these faculties by developing new centers in the other brain. It rarely happens after the age of forty-five, and the reason is because most persons after passing that age soon clog their brains with calcareous matter by overeating and destroy the plasticity of their brains by filling them with food wasta. If all people past the age of forty-five would live on twelve ounces or less of solid food per day we should soon find that one may receive new ideas as readily at seventy-five as at fifteen. You cannot do it, however, if your brain is a hardened mass of waste matter. If you overent you will be "sot" in your ways and a has-been at fifty.

An actor in a small company was unable one night to get accommodation at the only hotel in an English town, it is said, because its proprietor, a remarkably slow going person for such a place, recognized him as the villain in the melodrama who had stoken a cash box, set fire to a house, killed a detective, damaged a race horse and betrayed the hero's sister. But something like this really did happen to George Scott, manager of the Alhambra in London. In his younger days Mr. Scott was a stage villain of the deepest dye, and one of his favorite parts was that of the wicked Levison in "East Lynne." After playing the character a few nights in Blackpool he had occasion for wishing to change his lodgings and, knocking at the door of a house in the next street, was greeted by the good lady who opened it with a shriek and the subsequent exclamation: "What! It's Levison, the dirty villain. Ye can't 'ave rooms in my 'ouse! Get out or I'll call the perlice!" —London M. A. P. Steel Pen Helps Forgers. Steel Pen Helps Forgers. The crime of forgery has been facilitated and increased by the modern introduction of metallic pens, gold and steel, says a writer in the Indianapolls News. The old fashioned quill pen was smooth and pleasant to write with, though it sometimes balked and sputtered, but it did not land itself to skillful imitations as easily as the metallic pen does. The crime of forgery doubtless has been promoted by the almost universal education of modern times. In an age when everybody writes and when many are skillful penmen forgeries are much more frequent than they were centuries ago, when the person who could handle a pen was an exception. Many modern criminals make a living by committing forgeries, victimizing hotels, banks, capitalists and business men generally. Domestic Economy "Hey, mon," exclaimed the braw, bonnie north countryman, "thrift is a wunnerful thing!" "Yes," replied his English travelling companion. "You're right here. Now, I gave my wife a ten pound note to manage on last time I was away, and—would you believe it?—instead of exceeding it she saved nearly a supereign out of it to buy herself a haff" "That's nowt," replied the Scotsman. "My wife gives the kids his pennies aplce to go to bed supperless; when they're asleep she takes the his pennies off on 'em ages, and then she makes 'em do wil'out ony breakfasts for losin' 'em! Hey, mon, that's thrifl!"—London Scrapa. FACING THE CUSTOM HOUSE American Women, According to a Magazine Writer, Find the Customs Law Peculiarly Oppressive. We American women find the customs law peculiarly oppressive because it is almost the only law with which most of us ever come into contact, says a writer in the Century. We go about our task at home, live out our days and die, without a thought of legal obligations. We are proud of our freedom, too, when we travel, glorying in it, boasting of personal liberty as the very breath of our national existence, demanding, because of it, the overthrow of so many social traditions abroad that our less-favored sisters on the other side regard us with awe and envy. Then we start for home. One day a steamship steward knocks at our stateroom door, hands us the government's printed form of declaration, and the "Notice to Passengers." Suddenly, for the first time in our lives, we find ourselves "bump up against" the law. Some of us cannot understand it. We tremble; our hearts beat. We have consultations with friends and strangers. Blood-curdling stories are told. We can think of nothing else, talk of nothing else. Where have we packed our new things, where our old? Will they dig out everything? Will they believe us? Those little presents we have brought in—are they presents until we have declared them? And so on, and so on, until our last days become a nightmare compared with which seasickness is a paradise. Neither is there any man to protect us with any of those liberal "interpretations" which stand most of us in stead. We must go through the ordeal as we go through death—alone! UNEARTHED WHALE'S BONES Dredgers Lay Bare Skeleton of a Twenty-Footer—One Dredge Brings Up a Diamond. In cutting away the bank of the creek a mile from the ocean on Howletts Bay, the New York Sun says, workmen employed on the dredger Florida came across the skeleton of a 20-foot whale 12 feet below the surface of the meadows. The men had secured the vertebrae and head and were digging for the rest of the frame when the storm put an end to operations. The large suction pipe of the dredger has brought to light many articles, some of them valuable. Two weeks ago a diamond ring worth $100 was brought up. Just inside the suction pipe is a box which contains a magnet and all metal substances drop into the box, while the mud and dirt pass over it. Lightning Doesn't Strike in Sleep. Doctor Brewer should have advised those who are nervous in a thunderstorm to go not merely to bed but to sleep. There is a popular tradition that lightning will not kill anyone who is asleep. The folk lore of lightning is extensive and peculiar. According to one school, the splinters of a tree struck by lightning are an infallible specific for the toothache. But the most pleasing superstition is that which used to be cherished by the boys of a Yorkshire village who believed that if they mentioned the lightning immediately after a flash the seat of their trousers would be torn out. No boy could be induced to make the experiment.—London Chronicle. History of Three-Dollar Gold Pieces. Beginning with the year 1854 and ending with the year 1859, there were 539,792 of three-dollar gold coins sent out from the United States mints, a total value of $1,619,376. A few were made in the early years of the mints at Dahlonega and New Orleans and quite a number at the San Francisco mint up to 1860, but the bulk of these coins were turned out by the mint at Philladelphia. They were never coined in sufficient numbers, these figures show, to become really familiar, to the people outside of banks, and it is hardly strange that the existence of the coin should be now largely forgotten.—Housekeeper Magazine. Good Disinfectant Everyone knows the value of burning coffee as a disinfectant, but it is so identified with this use that one sets to wondering when sniffing its odor, about the smell which it may be covering up. Equally pleasant and effective is lavender, which may be used not only in the sick room, but through the house, to disguise the smell of food from the kitchen. To make the lavender disinfectant, soak sheets of common brown wrapping paper in salt-peter and water, then set them away to dry till wanted. When ready to use throw on one of these leaves of paper some flowers of lavender and burn them on a shovel, as in the case of the coffee. An Obedient Patient. When the chickens came home to roost they were astounded at finding an owl occupying the best perch in the house. "You're in wrong, aren't you, son?" coldly remarked the leghorn rooster; "What brought you here, anyway?" "Doctor's advice," replied the owl, without ruffling a feather. "Hurry up with the further partlejars!" harshly commanded the rooster. "Keep your comb, on, old chap!" said the owl; "you see, the terribly late hours I've been keeping began to affect my health and the doctor ordered me to go to bed with the hens!" AN ENGLISH HOLIDAY How East Side London Plays on Boxing Day. ROUGH SPORT IS THE RULE. All Cockneyland Flocks to .Historic Hampstead Heath, Where Hilarity, Fast and Furious, Rules From Early Morning Till After Midnight. Boxing day is a great institution in England. The day after Christmas is Boxing day, so called because in the old days it marked the occasion of the actual giving of Christmas boxes. Now it is a national holiday. Besides being the last in the year, it has to suffice Londoners, at all events, until Easter Monday. It's a great day in Cockneyland, and the east end crowds to Hampstead heath, the picturesque open space in the northwest of London. All roads lead to the heath. Soon after daybreak the procession begins. Fully loaded traps and donkey barrows are the principal items in the vehicular traffic, but the majority are on foot, singing and shouting for the holiday. "Ere yer are, Sir 'Enery," shouts a woman, pushing a tui squirt filled with water into your face. "'Ere yer are, Sir 'Enery; all the fun of the fair. Two a penny. 'Ave a couple, will yer, m'lud?" The London street merchants have the habit of giving prospective customers a title, presumably on the theory that a Londoner likes to have you believe that he is some well known man. Should you be persuaded into buying "a couple" the chances are a moment later you will be face to face with 'Arriet. She wears a large hat trimmed with large feathers of brilliant hue, has a hair fringe down over her forehead and a bright colored velvet dress. Probably several will be in a line, each with an arm around the other's neck and a mouth organ in the other hand. There is battle in their eyes, and before you are aware of it a stream of water will be running down your face. The best thing to do is to retreat, for if you should give battle you are sure to retreat, defeated, with your collar like a wet rag and a most uncomfortable feeling of dampness down your back. Once on the heath, the cocoanut pitches will first claim your notice. "Ere yer are, kernel; seven shles a tanner. Every one yer knocks dahn yer 'ave. They're all milky. Loidies and kids 'arf way." Then this scene will meet your eye: Outside a large tent stands a raised platform. On it half a dozen men stripped to the waist with arms folded across their chests. One of them, evidently the proprietor, twists a large rattle, which gives forth a most deafening noise. At last it stops, and he begins: "Lolidles and gents, I wants ter hinterduce to yer notice some of the best boxer in the world. 'Im at the end is Felix Scott of Liverpool. 'Ell fight any man in the cradh, and if he don't put 'im aht in three rahnds 'e'll give 'im a quild. Nah, then, who'll 'ave 'em on with the champion?" Some one accepts the inviting offer, and a rush is made to pay the admission fee and get into the tent. A company of traveling actors is assembled on the platform outside the next tent, all made up in their war paint. The piece to be performed is "Othello." The price of admission is a penny. A reserved seat, an empty box, will cost you another penny. And the house soon fills. Outside you will find every form of outdoor amusement in "full swing—"Aunt Salilles," swings, roundabouts, skipping and donkeys. The latter are greatly patronized. Young men and maidens, old men and women, all have "a pannorth of donkey ride." A fat woman clings to one poor beast's neck shouting: "Oo'er, I'm sure I'm falling. Don't make 'im go so fast. Ho, look at me 'at. Lemme get off. I'm sure yer 'itting 'im." When the dust has cleared away she is seen lying in the road panting: "I know'd yer done it on purpose!" At last the journey home is begun, everybody, happy and tired, yet not too tired to link arms, the men wearing the girls' feathered hats and pearl buttoned coats and the girls wearing caps and hats and wondrous masculine jackets. All are singing different songs, but every now and then they break forth in unison with popular songs of the moment. In the saloons they drink beer out of one pewter and swear undying love and friendship till the voice of the proprietor, it now being 12:30 in the morning and closing time, is heard calling, "Time, gents, please," and a final start is made. This may answer the question why the average Cockney worker always wants, a second day off to get over Boxing day.New York Times. Wanted to See Them. When Helen, aged four, for the first time accompanied her mother to church she was given some money for the collection box. It was carefully explained to her that this money was "for the poor." Helen sat patiently through perhaps a third of the service, when she startled her mother by rattling the coins between her cupped hands and inquiring in a loud voice: "Mamma, when are the poor coming around? My 8 cents is getting all hot and sticky!"—Lippincott's Magazine. Good name in man or woman is the immediate jewel of their souls. Shakespeare. One Great Surprise That Was Only the Forerunner of Another and Still Greater One. That was a good old comedy bishop who one fine day entered a large jeweler's establishment in Regent street, London, to make an extensive purchase of valuable presents. He selected them with great care as regards their artistic value, but quite regardless of cost. The prophetor and his assistants buzzed round his lordship. The selected valuables were packed in separate parcels at his suggestion, neatly tied and sealed, and he had just taken a seat in the private office of the proprietor and was feeling in his pocket for his check book when two men, who had been peering in at the glass door leading to the street, walked up the shop and stood behind the bishop. They were plainly dressed, sharp looking men and thus bluntly addressed the jeweler: "What has this man been ordering?" The bishop looked up, saw the men, turned pale, clutched the sides of the chair, dropped his glasses and looked as if he would bolt. Before he could stir, however, the handcuffs were on his wrists. "Bishop, indeed!" said one of the men. "He was a colonel yesterday. Here, 'bishop,' come along to Vine street. 'Bishop,' indeed! Ha, ha! Well, that's a good 'un!' And, turning to the astonished jeweler, he continued: "Just copped him in time, sir; lucky for you. Oh, by the way, you might get one of your assistants to bring round these parcels he has selected. We must enter them at the police station. We have a cab at the door. We have been tracking the bishop all the morning." Without a word the "Bishop" followed the detectives into a cab, and all three got in as the assistant came out with the valuables. "Here," said one of the detectives through the window, "place those in here—they will be safer—and you get on the top with the driver." It was not far to Vine street; but, as usual, the traffic was congested in Oxford circus, and the cab had to halt occasionally. It was, however, soon at the police station. The assistant jumped off the driver's seat and opened the door. The cab was empty!—Strand Magazine. PRESENTIMENTS. Incidents In Which Coming Events Cast Their Shadows Before. Coming events cast their shadows before them. The writer is led to believe this because several incidents in the lives of his parents corroborate the theory that presentiments of good and evil do come to persons unawares. I will mention two of them. In the summer of 187—my father late at night was returning to his farm from the little town of Malton. He had stayed unusually late. When he reached the farm all was quiet. Removing the harness from his horse, he proceeded to the carriage house and hung it in its place. He came out and closed the door. As he did so he heard the harness fall. It was very dark. He went back into the house and found the harness still hanging in its place. The same occurrence took place again. He went back again and found it in its place. When the third time he heard the sound of falling harness he did not go back. Several weeks lafer his barn burned, and it happened that the same harness was in the barn loft, a valuable set. He attempted to save it. The staircase burned behind him, and he was compelled to jump for his life from a window. His previous experience came to him vividly. He saved the harness, but at the risk-of his life. Another vivid incident I recall was my mother sitting by the fire with a slick baby. The nurse was present, too, and both were wide awake. Her father appeared to her and advised her as to the baby's treatment and other family matters. He vanished as quickly as he had come. The next day she heard of his death—London Tit-Bits. A Rural Enoch Arden. "In our little town in a western state," said Brown, "there was a half witted sort of fellow named Bill Wilkes. One day Bill took to the railroad tracks and never reappeared for about six years. In the meantime his wife, Bettle, took in washing and supported the family. One day Bill came back. He went around to the kitchen door, softly opened it, stuck in his head and said, 'Boo, Bettle.' Bettle turned around from her washtub. 'Te, he,' said Bill; 'I scared ye, didn't I, Bettle?' Whenever I see a stage husband return to his family I think of Bill's greeting after six years' absence, 'Boo, Bettle; I scared ye, didn't I?'—New York Times. Apfelsine. Messina furnished early in the nineteenth century a new word for the German language. It was from there that oranges were first shipped to Germany, and the fruit was known for a long time after its advent as "apfel aus Messina" -apple from Messina. After many years "apfel aus Messina" degenerated into "apfel Messina," and finally it became "apfelfine," the name by which oranges are still known among German speaking people. Quite Sufficient. Mrs. Jones (inspecting a milliner's window)—I don't see what it is that keeps those women's heads turning around all the time. Mr. Jones—Why, my dear, just a bonnet itself is sufficient to turn any woman's head. Lippincott's Magazine. PRESIDENT COX Mr. E. V. Cox, president of the Board of Education, hit the nail right on top of the head when he gave it out that the public schools intend to teach the children common sense. President Cox knows hog bush when he sees it. If President Cox will now relieve the people of their burden in the colored schools there will be salvation in the city. Save the colored schools of an investigation, Mr. Cox. The people are with you. Rev. Brooks. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." The above was the text of Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, last Sabbath morning. It was one of the most logical and eloquent sermons that this distinguished divine has ever preached. Rev. Brooks said that man, whose occupation be what it is, shall earn his bread in the sweat of his face. No man or woman should be ashamed of his calling, whatever it may be. All labor is honorable. Labor has ever been dignified. The lawyer, the doctor, the preacher and other vocations in life of men and women are their bread. The girl who intends to marry today, seldom looks beyond. She is infatuated by the good looks and the clothes the man wears. This is a mistake, because many a woman has to care for this kind of a man after she is married. He paid a deserving tribute to the dignity of labor. He said in all labor, whatever kind, it may be dignified, and it made no difference what kind it was, it is honorable. He admonished the young man and the young woman to work and dignity whatever occupation or occupation in life he or she may follow. The man who digs in the gutter is just as honorable as the man who writes at a desk, and if you are not satisfied with your occupation in the gutter so cultivate your brain to enable you to come out of the gutter. But, said the eloquent divine, "in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." The choir, under the directorship of Dr. Walker, rendered excellent music. Music.

Fairmount Heights There was an important meeting of the citizens of this community at the Public Hall on October 11 for the purpose of ascertaining the whole number of male citizens in Fairmount Heights and vicinity; the number of registered voters; the number who had declared their intention of become citizens of Maryland and have not registered, and the number who had not declared their intention to become citizens, with the view of being in shape for the election on November 5, 1910. The meeting was quite interesting, and much good was accomplished. The voters here hold the balance of power in the county, and it is predicted that "slothful servants" will be cast into utter darkness, where there shall be "gnashing of teeth." The ladies are going ahead with the street improvement. Mrs. H. A. Pearson seems to be pushing her walk from Chapel road to the District Boulevard. The Methodist Episcopal and the Presbyterian churches are still on the upward march. The Holy Ghost seemed to have taken possession of the meeting at the Presbyterian Church Sunday. One good brother said he certainly was glad when the good pastor, Rev. Smith, gave him an opportunity to express his feelings by calling on him to pray just after the sermon. The Maryland authorities are debating the question of opening a public school here. If so, we hope to secure the services of Miss C. B. Griffin, a most worthy young woman, as teacher.

Bob Cole, of Cole and Johnson, one of the greatest musical composers in the country, and a favorite wherever he goes, was sent to the Bellevue Hospital, New York. Last week Manager W. H. Smith, of the Howard Theater, was in New York city arranging with the great actor to come to this city as one of the stars at Howard. Apparently he was in the best of health, so stated Manager Smith to a Bee representative Wednesday. In conversation with Mr. Cole, he (Cole) remarked that he never felt better in his life. Tuesday Manager Smith received word from New York that the great actor had been sent to Bellevue Hospital for the insane. The friends of Mr. Cole will be shocked. Madame Davis Returned.

The chronicles of Venice tell that in the earlier part of the seventeenth century a certain stranger, a man of dark and sinister aspect, arrived in the city. His name was Tebaldo. He appears to have been a man of unruly passions, of great intellectual power, but one whose talents found their chief outlet in crime. One day he observed a beautiful girl leaving church, attended in a manner which showed she belonged to a family of high degree. She was, in fact, the daughter of an auctent and noble house. He fell violently in love with her. Though far removed from him in station, his blind passion took no count of this fact, and he determined to sue for her hand. There proved to be, however, a more insuperable obstacle to his suit. The girl was already betrothed to another, a young nobleman of almost equal rank and fortune. The knowledge did not deter Tebaldo, who boldly presented himself before the girl's parents in the capacity of a sutor for her hand. As might have been expected, he met with a curt and unceremonious rebuff. The repulse ranked in his mind. Enraged beyond measure, he shut himself up in his own house and there secretly studied a means of revenge. Profoundly skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until he had invented a most formidable and death-fealing weapon. This was a large key, the handle of which was so constructed that it could be turned at will. When it was thus turned a secret spring was disclosed, which, on being pressed, launched from the key head a fine needle or lancet. The latter was of such delicate construction that it penetrated the body of the victim and buried itself deep in the flesh without leaving any external trace. The marriage of the betrothed couple was fixed to take place in the principal church in Venice on a certain day. Before the ceremony Tebaldo, seemingly disguised, stationed himself at the church door armed with his diabolical weapon. As the bridegroom was about to enter the building the concealed watcher pressed the spring and sent the deadly steel lancet into the breast of his victim. The young nobleman had no suspicion of injury at the moment. In the midst of the ceremony, however, he was seized with a sharp spasm of pain and sank falting on the steps of the altar. He was hurriedly conveyed to his home, where the leading Venice physicians were summoned to attend him. In spite of their unremitting efforts he sank and died, nor were they able to discover the nature of the mysterious and fatal seizure. With the removal of his rival, Tebaldo once more presented himself before the girl's parents and renewed his request for her hand. Their refusal to listen to him sealed their doom. In what manner he accomplished it is not known, but within a few days both had been done to death in the same sudden and mysterious fashion. The exalted rank of the victims created a profound sensation, and when, on examination of the bodies, a fine steel instrument was found in the flesh terror became universal. The citizens feared for their lives. The utmost vigilance was exercised on the part of the authorities, but as yet no suspicion fell upon Tebaldo. The bereaved girl retired to a convent, where she passed the first months of mourning in sorrowful seclusion. Tebaldo, however, sought her out in her retreat and begged to speak to her through the grating. His dark, evil face had always been displeasing to her, but since the death of her betrothed and parents it had become repulsive. When, therefore, in the course of the interview he pressed her to fly with him he met with an instant and indignant refusal. Her scorn stung him to the quick. Beside himself with rage, he brought his deadly weapon once more into play and succeeded in wounding the girl through the grating, the obscurity of the place preventing his action from being observed. On her return to her room the girl felt a sharp pain in her breast. Examination of the spot showed that it was dotted with a single drop of blood. Physicians were hastily summoned. Taught by past experience, they wasted no time in vain conjecture, but cut into the flesh and extracted the slender steel, thus saving the girl's life. The dastardly attempt occasioned a public outcry. The visit of Tebaldo to the convent became known and caused suspicion to turn upon him. The emissaries of the law descended suddenly upon him, his house was searched, and there the abominable invention was discovered. Swift justice followed, and he ended his days upon the scaffold. The key is still preserved in the arsenal at Venice.—Chambers' Journal. Lovera' Quarrels Nell-A lovers' quarrel always reminds me of a crazy quilt. Belle-How's that?

FORAKER MAY USE KNIFE. Believed to Be Behind Negro Indorse ment of Democrats. A Washington Dispatch to the New York Times says: Politicians here believe that former Senator Foraker, of Ohio, has determined to settle his grudge against former President Roosevelt by knitting the Republican ticket in his own State and aiding the Democratic candidates in New York and New Jersey. This view is based on the remarkable action taken by the National Independent League, which has just concluded its meeting in the Capital. The league represents Negro voters throughout the United States, and at its final session organizers were ordered sent into every State in which Roosevelt or Roosevelt's friends are interested. They are to do their utmost to mold the sentiment of their race against all candidates bearing the Roosevelt "O. K."' whether they are running for national, State, or city office. Dix was indorsed for governor of New York, Harmon in Ohio, and Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey. Friends of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, are opposed because the Senator is Col. Roosevelt's closest friend. William A. Trotter, of Boston, president of the New England Suffrage League, made a fiery address, in which he challenged Roosevelt to a joint debate on the race problem. The Independent League is recognized as the personal organization of the former Senator from Ohio. It was formed when the Brownsville controversy was on, and took up the cudgils for Mr. Foraker against President Roosevelt. The fact that it is now going into activity again is proof positive, according to the politicians, that Foraker is once more sharpening his, battle axes and putting new spikes on his war clubs.

His work is of a superior quality and finish. Ninety per cent of his patronage comes from the whites, which only goes to prove that if one knows what to do and how to do it he is not absolutely dependent upon any particular race for support and eventually success in his special line of business. Firwin C. Brown, 500 Capital street, Clarifeston, W. Va., has recently invented what he calls a Food Warmer in which restaurants and hotels may send out meals to offices, apartments and private residences. It is one of the most simple, unique and practical inventions of the age. The Food Warmer is made in two sizes. The smaller one is designed for working-men, with a capacity for one or two meals. It can be carried in the hand. The larger warmer weighs 12 to 15 pounds with a capacity for about twelve meals. It is intended to be used at winter or summer resorts to convey food from the hotel to the cottage. The mechanism of the Food Warmer consists of a tin box with a handle and a door in front. On the inside are several shelves, on which the food in tin or earthenware vessels is placed. Beneath the whole outfit is an alcohol or gasoline burner, which will keep the food warm at least an hour without refilling the lamp. The cost of warming for a meal is estimated to be about two or three cents. From $3 to $4 worth of food may be carried and kept warm in this way with little or no inconvenience.
