vOL.XXXI NO24 A Great Parade PARADE IS INSPIRING—CATHOLIC DIGNITARIES REVIEW HOLY NAME PROCESSION. Marchers Number 6,000—President Taft, at White House, an Interested Spectator—Baltimoreans in Line. Crowds on Sidewalks Along Pennsylvania Avenue—Exercises Held at the Monument. In solid columns, eight abreast, 6,000 members of the Holy Name Society of the archdiocese of Baltimore marched along Pennsylvania avenue Sunday afternoon as a public protest against profanity and immorality. The presence of the apostolic delegate and other dignitaries of the Catholic Church lent impressiveness to the demonstration, and the spectacle on the Monument grounds, when the marchers gathered to hear commendation by priest and layman, was inspiring. Along the Avenue from the Peace Monument to 17th street thousands of spectators watched the parade, and by their silence paid an eloquent tribute to the purposes of the Society. At the head of each parish delegation marched a standardbearer, carrying a religious banner, while each crusader waved a small pennant bearing the title of the Order. Strict military discipline was observed and the bands played nothing but patriotic and sacred airs. According to those clergymen who had reviewed similar processions recently in Pittsburg, Boston and other cities, the Washington parade, including the delegations from Baltimore and Alexandria, was the most notable. President Sees Parade. President Taft and members of his family witnessed a portion of the parade from a north window of the White House. As each band passed the Executive Mansion "Hail to the Chief" was played. In the reviewing party gathered on a balcony on the second floor of the New Willard Hotel were Archbishop Diomede Falconio, apostolic delegate; Rt. Rev. Owen B. Corrigan, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese of Baltimore; Mgr. James F. Mackin, pastor of St. Paul's Church, and Mgr. Thos. S. Lee, pastor of St. Matthew's Church. Each battalion as it passed the reviewing point saluted the prelates by dipping its hanners, and in response Archbishop Falconio doffed his hat and bowed. Delegation from Baltimore The band of the Second Regiment, D. C. National Guard, headed the parade. The crusaders from Baltimore were given the place of honor at the head of the procession. Six parishes were represented in the delegation, with Dr. J. B. Gorman as marshal. Next in line was the delegation from Alexandria, of which William Desmond as marshal. Rev. W. J. Kane led the platoon representing the St. John's Society of Frederick, Md. Members of St. Cyprian's Parish, 700 strong, led the second division, with their own band. The colored men acquitted themselves with honor, under the direction of E. Brown, marshal. The third division, headed by Fersinger's Band, was next. It included St. Joseph's Parish delegation, Richard J. Curtin, marshal, and the Holy Name Society, led by William T. Kelly. Then came the sturdy veterans from the Soldiers' Home. The sight of these 50 venerable soldiers, marching with a proud spirit, caused a ripple of applause, the only outburst of cheering along the whole line. The fourth division, headed by Mienner's Band, was composed of the following: St. Martin's Parish, with M. J. Shea as marshal: St. Anthony's Parish, with W. J. McCloskey as marshal: St. Matthew's Parish, with Thos. R. Huyck as marshal, and St. Stephen's Parish, with Harry Crompton as marshal. With the First Regiment Band of the District National Guard leading, the fifth division was composed as follows: St. Peter's Parish, with Geo F. Davis as marshal, and the Holy Comforter Parish, with William L. Kuell as marshal. In the sixth and final division were St. Dominic and St. Vincent de Paul Parishes, with Michael Shugrue as marshal. The Soldiers' Home Band, with Prof. Zimmerman as leader, was at its head. Parishes All Represented It was a fact noted by many that not a single parish in which the Society is represented failed to contribute as large a delegation as it had promised, and many were far larger than was at first thought possible. The first estimates of the numbers of the marchers were therefore revised, and it is now believed there were more than 6,000 in line. The line of march embraced B street northwest from East Capitol street, Pennsylvania avenue to 15th street, thence past the White House to 17th street, and to the Monument grounds. The paraders halted when the Monument grounds were reached, and at signal from the chief marshal ranks were broken, and in orderly array the hosts came to attention at 4:15 o'clock, facing the small platform where the speakers were assembled. It is said the outdoor meeting was the largest ever held under the auspices of a re- ligious society in the National Capital. Expressing the clerical view of the event, Rev. Father Fitzgerald, the first speaker, said: "There is an inspirational side to this event which should be emphasized. By the great parade you have given a public expression and a public avowal of, your Christian faith. You have declared your allegiance to Jesus Christ. Reminded of Army's Return. "On the historic Avenue, where many a magnificent pageant has been held, you have marched to-day in the cause of keeping the name of God free of blasphemy and profanity. I cannot but think of that great march 45 years ago, when the returning Union soldiers paraded in victory down this same boulevard. "We are here in sight of the beautiful White House, where lives the Chief Executive of this Nation, chosen by a vote of the people. We express our faith not only in our religion, but in the destiny of this Republic. We know it rests upon authority, for without authority, recognized by the people, there is nothing. Without it we may look for rapine, disorder, disintegration." From the layman's point of view, Michael J. Weller expressed gratification at the demonstration, saying in part: "Reverend clergy, ladies and gentlemen: Here, at the Nation's Capital, on the banks of the majestic Potomac, in the shadow of the monumental shaft erected in honor of our immortal patriot, George Washington, this grand Catholic demonstration of the Holy Name Societies has been appropriately inaugurated. upon this Sunday afternoon, to give living and forcible expression to our faith in the Son of God and our firm determination to be constantly mindful of the respect due to His holy name, with the fervent pledge that our lives shall always conform to His admonitions. Tribute to Early Pilgrims "Two hundred and seventy-six years have now passed since that small company of Catholic pilgrims left England, braving the dangers of the deep, in the wintry season, on small, fragile vessels, for conscience sake, to found a new permanent home on these shores; that they and their co-religionists of other races, who followed, have borne themselves with credit is conceded by every impartial historian; their deeds speak eloquently for the cause we advocate—loyalty and devotion pro Deo et Patria. "Let us then conclude by sending a message of affectionate greeting and congratulations across the Atlantic to our venerable leader and father. Pope Plus X, the prisoner of the Vatican, from his faithful children, gathered in mass meeting at the Capital of the great American Republic." Benediction by Archbishop Falconio concluded the exercises. The following acted as aids to the grand_marshal: T. Millard Hanson, William Fingles, John F. Kernan and Bernard J.

[Portrait of a man in profile, wearing a suit and tie.] HONORABLE WALTER I. SMITH Eleccted THE ELECTIONS DEMOCRATS SWEEP THE COUNTRY. Republicans Thrown From Earth—A Lesson to the Republican Party. The election last Tuesday will no doubt be a lesson to the Republican party. The House is Democratic and the Senate almost gone. Champ Clark probably will succeed Speaker Cannon. Democrats gain eight seats in Sen- ate. Dix Governor of New York by 65,000. Wilson carries New Jersey by 25,000. Harmon triumphs in Ohio by 60,000. Foss Governor in Massachusetts by 32,987. Baldwin wins in Connecticut by 3,500. John W. Kern will succeed Senator Beveridge. Democrats gain two Representatives in Maryland. Chicago goes Democratic by 25,000. Democrats gain three Representatives and a United States Senator in West Virginia. Democrats gain a Senator in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Nebraska and probably Missouri and Montana. Consolation for Republicans. Tener elected Governor of Pennsylvania by 20,000. Bass elected Governor of New Hampshire by 5,000. Gov. Pothier -elected in Rhode Island by 900. Osborne Governor of Michigan by 40,000. Hooper, fusion candidate, carried Tennessee by 20,000. Kansas, North Dakota, California, Wisconsin and Minnesota named Republican Governors. Speaker Cannon re-elected by increased plurality. Payne and Dalzell also returned to Congress. Republican Senators assured from Delaware, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Michigan and Wisconsin. The sweep of the political tidal wave which rolled over the country Tuesday is further emphasized by additional returns and revised figures at hand to-day. The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives will be at least 42, and possibly more, as compared with the present Republican majority of 43. Added to the reversal of the lower branch of Congress, the returns show the Republican majority of 26 in the United States Senate rapidly approaching the vanishing point, although the Republicans are now reasonably assured of 48 Senators, or one more than the necessary majority, with a number of States still in doubt. Changes Presented. The most notable changes are summed up as follows: In Ohio a Democratic Legislature has been elected, insuring a Democratic successor to Senator Dick, Republican, and the plurality of Gov. Harmon is increased to 60,000. The West Virginia Legislature is Democratic and will elect a Democratic Senator to succeed Senator Scott, Republican. In Indiana the Legislature, which chooses a successor to Senator Beveridge, is in doubt, with the Democrats claiming a majority of 12 and the Republicans maintaining that Beveridge will have a small margin. The Pennsylvania Legislature is safely Republican and will elect a Republican successor to Senator Oliver. Washington has a Republican Legislature, which appears to insure the election of Miles Poindexter to the Senate. The Utah Legislature, which elects a United States Senator, also is Republican, while that of Montana is in doubt. Warner defeated in Maryland. Beveridge in Indiana. West Virginia loses Senator Scott. New York loses Depew, and a Democrat will succeed him. It is a landslide. Congressman B. C. Slemp, in the 14th Virginia District, is no doubt elected. LICENSE RENEWAL Resolved to Stand Together, Believing Suspension Was But Temporary. By unanimous vote the members of the Washington Division of the United Order of True Reformers, at a largely attended meeting in True Reformers' Hall, 12th and U streets northwest, Sunday evening, decided to stand together and await developments. Word had been received from W. P. Burrell, secretary of the Grand Fountain at Richmond, Va., that the suspension here of the business of the order, due to a suspension of its license by the insurance departments of both Virginia and the District of Columbia, was but temporary, and that within a short time matters would be adjusted and business renewed. W. R. Griffin; chief of the Washington division, presided at the meeting, and addresses were made by J. H. Hunter, of Pittsburg; Rev. J. W. Howard, pastor of Zion Baptist Church; Rev. W. D. Jarvis, pastor of the New Bethel Baptist Church; Rev. H. K. Freeman, Rev. Joseph Beaman, and J. W. Branson. Confidence in Management The teor of the addresses indicated a confidence in the present and past managements of the order, and that the present difficulties were due to technicalities that would easily and promptly be straightened out. There are seventy-eight lodges and 1,818 members of the order in the District of Columbia, and the value of its local property is estimated at $80,000. A suspension of the business of the order was directed in Virginia by the insurance department October 26, and the local insurance department followed suit with an order for the suspension of business here. The Virginia order of suspension forbade the consideration of applications for membership and the initiation of new members within the State while the order remains effective. It added that the order would remain effective until the affairs of the Savings Bank of the True Reformers and of the Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association are liquidated, either by order of court or otherwise, or until the money on deposit in the bank and other assets of the Grand United Order of True Reformers in the possession of the bank were returned to the association. Result Satisfactory. W. R. Griffin, of the Washington division,' said Sunday evening the unanimous vote of the members to stand by each other he regarded as a vote of confidence in the management of the order. The meeting, he said, was called to advise the members of the condition of affairs and to ascertain their sentiment. The result he regarded as entirely satisfactory. TO JOIN IN REVIVAL.

The Public School Athletic League The Public School Athletic League. was successfully launched at a meeting of teachers in the M Street High School Tuesday. The purpose of the League was clearly outlined by E. B. Henderson, to whom the Board of Education gave permission, to organize. Assistant Superintendent Bruce presided. The purpose of the League is to encourage manly participation in athletic sports by the boys of the public schools, especially the elementary schools. Such a league as has been formed will work wonders in the formation of good habits of loyalty and discipline among the boys. The various "stunts" which the boys will be called up to perform will appeal to all of them—not merely to the record breaker. As it now stands, there are but few athletics, especially within a school, in which all the boys can take part. The only physical training which the boys are now afforded is that in which they go through with the girls of the classroom. The League will also seek to take hold of the overgrown boys in the graded schools, who are anxious to withdraw because they are overgrown, and provide them with an incentive for further development, mentally and physically. The athletics will appeal to the boys, not from the standpoint of breaking a record made by the exceptional boy, but equalling or surpassing the record (if such it may be called) made by the average boy. Such means will prevent the boys from becoming discouraged. The League, however, does not propose to discriminate against the girls. They will be permitted, under certain restrictions, to engage in games, under the supervision of a female member of the physical training department. Public School Athletic Leagues are now in operation in the following cities, in connection with the Board of Educations of these cities: New Orleans, Baltimore, Seattle, New York, Newark, Troy, Buffalo, Cleveland, Birmingham, Tacoma, San Francisco, Kansas City and Cincinnati. The constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: President, James E. Walker, Supervising Principal of the 13th Division; Vice President, G. C. Wilkinson; Secretary, E. B. Henderson; Treasurer, Miss A. E. Thompson, Principal of the Slater School. The President appointed the following committees. Publicity and Printing—J. Moria Saunders, Chairman; J. O. Montgomery, B. C. Dodson, E. H. Lawson and Miss A. Shorter. Finance—G. S. Wormley, Chairman; W. A. Hamilton, Eugene Clark, W. B. Hartgrove and R. B. Green. The next meeting of the League will be held Tuesday next in the study hall of the M Street High School. At that time final plans for the winter will be laid out. J. M. S.

Hawkins, principal of the Baltimore colored High School, the degree of Master of Arts. Mr. Hawkins is also a graduate of Harvard University. Mr. H. P. Slaughter, of this city, is now editor of the Odd Fellows Journal. He succeeded Mr. J. C. Asbury. A bequest of $25,000 to Yale University was made in the will of Rev. Morton Dexter, a prominent Yale graduate, which has been filed in court. Sacrificing her own life, Lillie Preston, a colored woman employed by Mrs. Lee Whidby, wife of a local merchant, died in a hospital in Albany, Ga., from burns sustained while saving her mistress' life. A delegation from the First Light Infantry regiment of Providence, R. L., presented a life-size bronze bust of Gen. Robert E. Lee to the Richmond Blues at the latter's armory at Richmond. The presentation is a token of appreciation and courtesy extended during a visit to the Virginia city last spring. Mr. J. C. Asbury, former editor of the Odd Fellows Journal, is being strongly supported for the position of United States sub-Treasurer in Philadelphia. This would be a worthy appointment. As a public protest against profanity and immorality, 7,000 members of the "Holy Name Society" of the Catholic Church marched up Pennsylvania avenue last Sunday evening. The crowd was the most orderly ever witnessed in this city. The silence was taken as an eloquent tribute to the purposes of the Society. United States Senator Stephen Clay, of Georgia, is seriously ill and is now in a sanitarium. There seems to be a mystery about his illness, but it is thought he is suffering from a cancer of the stomach. Henri Duntan, the founder of the International Red Cross Society, died at Helden, a health resort. He was a Swiss by birth. June 24, 1859, at the battle of Solferino, he conceived the idea of pledging the nations to protect 201 sick and wounded. This was the beginning of the great world-known Red Cross Society. The Standard Oil Company paid $9,000,000 for 104,000 acres of land about 25 miles north of Shreveport, La. It is said the Louisiana field produces a high grade of oil. The daily production is 12,000 barrels. This is said to be the largest deal in oil lands in the history of the industry. Naval officials are considering the advisability and practicability of equipping the new battleship authorized at the last session of Congress with a flying machine. There are no available funds, however, but special attention is being given to the military value of the aeroplane, in connection with naval operations. Patrick Sullivan, a head waiter for Riordan Brothers, proprietors of a South End liquor store and cafe in Boston, Mass., was fined $100 for discriminating against Mrs. Mary Beausolia, a colored woman, who was not allowed to eat in the cafe. Beginning with to-day the many millions of dollars in the Chicago subtreasure are to be counted dollar for dollar. This is due to the fact that Lee Small, of Kanakee, Ill., becomes Assistant Treasurer, and will take the place of former Assistant Goldenwick. A committee from the Treasury in this city will supervise the count. The War Department has under its control about 635 vessels, while the Navy Department has only 340 vessels. The Quartermaster's Depart has about 155, used for carrying troops and military supplies and families of officers. Dr. Arthur Edwards has announced a gift of $200,000 by James A. Patten, the former wheat corner operator, to found a chair of experimental pathology in Northwestern University Medical School, the purpose of which will be chiefly the study of tuberculosis and pneumonia. John Hays Hammond, Jr., son of the noted mining engineer, has made some important discoveries, preventing interference in wireless waves. His patents, it is said, have been thoroughly tested. Ex-Gov. Guild, of Massachusetts, in an address to the school children of Boston, said: "Israel Putman created the flag, and not Betsy Ross. She only suggested that the stars be five-pointed instead of six-pointed." William Durst, of Philadelphia, 76 years of age and one of the two living members of the crew of the iron-clad Monitor, has received the medal awarded him by the last Congress. Arrangements have been completed for a revival service to begin Sunday night at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church under the auspices of the National Negro Baptist Evangelistic Convention of America.

A French statistician who has been studying the military and other records with a view of determining the height of men at different periods has reached some wonderful results. He, has not only solved some perplexing problems in regard to the past of the human race, but is also enabled to calculate its future and to determine the exact period when man will disappear from the earth. The recorded facts extend over nearly three centuries. It is found that in 1610 the average height of man in Europe was 1.75 meters, or, say, five feet nine inches. In 1790 it was five feet six inches. In 1820 it was five feet five inches and a fraction. At the present time it is five feet three and three-quarter inches. It is easy to deduce from these figures a rate of regular and gradual decline in human stature and then apply this, working backward and forward, to the past and to the future. By this calculation it is determined that the stature of the first men attained the surprising average of sixteen feet nine inches. Truly, there were giants on the earth in those days. The race had already deteriorated in the days of Ox, and Gollath was a quite degenerate offspring of the giants. Coming down to later time, we find that at the beginning of our era the average height of man was nine feet, and in the time of Charlemagne it was eight feet eight inches. But the most astonishing result of this scientific study comes from the application of the same inexorable law of diminution to the future. The calculation shows that by the year 4000 A. D. the stature of the average man will be reduced to fifteen inches. At that epoch there will be only 'limpputians on the earth.' And the conclusion of the learned statistician is irresistible that "the end of the world will certainly arrive, for the inhabitants will have become so small that they will finally disappear"—"finish by disappearing," as the French idiom expresses it—"from the tarrestrial globe."—London Tit-Bits. GOT AHEAD OF PITT. The Ruse by Whish George III. Ow- witted His Premier. On Jan. 19, 1805, Dr. Manners-But- ton, bishop of Norwich, was giving a dinner party in his Windsor deanery when his butler informed him that a gentleman wished particularly to see him, but would not give his name. "Well, I can't come now in the mid- dle of dinner." crescendo. D.C. al Fine. Mardi-Gras" March. "Beg pardon, my lord, but the gentleman is very anxious to see you on important business," and the butler was so urgent that the bishop apologized to his company and went out. The gentleman who would not be denied proved to be King George III. "How d'ye do, my lord?" said he. "Come to tell you that you're archbishop of Canterbury—archbishop of Canterbury. D'ye accept—accept? Eh, eh?" The bishop bowed low in token of acceptance. "All right," said his majesty. "You've got a party—see all their hats here. Go back to them. Good night." Next morning Pitt appeared at Windsor castle to inform his majesty that Archbishop Moore had died the day before and to recommend the bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Pretyman, for the vacant primacy. "Very sorry, very sorry, indeed, Pitt," said the king, "but I offered it to the bishop of Norwich last night, and he accepted. Can't break my word." Pitt was very angry, but the deed was done, as the king meant it should be, and so Dr. Manners-Sutton became archbishop of Canterbury and held the great office for twenty-three eventful years.—Michael McDonagh in Chambers' Journal.

SOME STRANGE EXPERIENCES The Events of a Whole Lifetime May Filt Part the Dreamer in a Few Moments—Quer Results of a Dream Experiment by a Noted Psychelogist A characteristic of dreams which, as the rather materialistic Dr. Clarke says, "hints at a life that has neither beginning nor end and is bounded by no limits which human thoughts can compass" is the rapidity with which events happen in the dream world. Thus, when asleep and dreaming, we live an entire lifetime in a minute; in a space of time that is scarcely more than a second we pass through experiences that could not be duplicated in this objective sphere in hours, perhaps in years. Count Lavalette relates that one night, when imprisoned and under sentence of death, he dreamed that he stood for five hours at a Paris street corner, where he witnessed a continuous succession of horrifying scenes of blood, every one of which wrought his soul to the highest pitch of excitement. When he woke he found that he had been asleep less than two minutes. In a more recent experiment, made expressly to test the truth of these theories, the subject was aroused from sleep by a few drops of water being sprinkled upon his forehead. It took but an instant to accomplish this result, and yet in that incalculably brief space of time the man dreamed of going on an excursion; of an accident by which he was plunged into a lake, and during the long struggle to escape death that followed all the experiences of his life seemed to flash before him, just as they are said to appear 'to a person who is actually drowning. Dreams are tricksters. Professor Nithener of Cornell university told with gusto of his experience. As a specialist in psychology he interested himself in dreams. Like a true scientist, he once set about gathering data. He wanted to know what caused dreams, where they came from, what they meant, and all that. He determined to watch himself when he slept and to awake himself at once when he found himself dreaming something of value. So, with a notebook on a writing table near his bed, he forced himself to waken for several nights and to write down, while the dream impressions were vivid, his remembrances of the details and by a study of the room, the bed and his physical condition to attempt to arrive at the possible causes of his dreams. He was getting on famously. One night he had a particularly vivid dream. In accordance with his practice, he forced himself to awake and immediately write down clearly everything about it, then went back to sleep again. The next morning he arose and was astounded to see that his note sheet was blank. He remembered positively the notes he had set down therom in the middle of the preceding night. The next night again he wrote down his notes after his dreams, only to have the same uneasy sensation the next morning at finding nothing recorded. The strange circumstances set him to pondering. That night he impressed upon his mind before dropping off into slumber that he must awaken with his first dream, or, if not with that, with his second dream. Subsequently this strong antesleeping command delivered to himself was present all through his dream consciousness. When the first scenes of a vivid dream came before his fancy he felt himself awaken, and he set about writing down the facts upon the pad at his table. It was then that from some source of inner consciousness he felt the command again to awake, although he seemed at the time to be in full possession of his normal faculties. His eyes opened, and the secret was out. He found himself lying in bed, where he had been all that night. His rising after each dream had become so much a routine that he had dreamed that he had arisen and had made the notes, and his dream was so clear that it seemed reality. Outing Magazine.

" And How It Figured In Having Him Dubbed "the Dude," as Told by Charley Comiskey. Charley Comiskey told the story of how Arlie Latham came to be called "the dude." "One spring during Latham's term of service with the good old St. Louis Browns," said Comiskey, "the jumped into the opening game of the season and won us a victory by knocking out a home run in the last inning. Chris von der Ahe from his place in the grand stand saw Arlie make his sensational hit and naturally enthused. After the game 'der boss president' entered the clubhouse and in that peculiar dialect of his said to Latham: "Arlle, my poy, you must be glad that I, Chris, was proud mit you, an' I vill show you vat my feelings is by giving you the present of somedings for you to wear on yourself. Take dis order on mine own tallor an' go an' dress up yourself." "Chris' order on the tallor read something like this: "Give to Arlle der fings vat he buys, an' sand to me der bill." "Latham didn't do a thing on the strength of that' order but replenish his wardrobe. For three days in succession he showed up at the ball park in a fine makeup, and every suit of clothes was brand new. On the fourth day Chris got a bill from the clothing people for $100. Naturally he sent for Latham and demanded an explanation. "Why, Chris, old pal," said Lath, "there's nothing to explain. Didn't you agree in that order you gave me to pay for what I bought, and haven't I just begun to buy? Why, old pal, I have only got three suits and expect to be measured for another this afternoon. What's wrong? "Arlie," replied Von der Aha, "you vas de one internal dude in de pizness. I vill dis bill pay, but you vill yourself go to der tailor an' mit him explain vot I dink of der impudence of you yourself. You vill also stop mit de clothes you now have on an' do no more mit such foolishness mit der man vot pays your salary. Arlie, you was one dude, an' if you play mit any errors dis afternoon I vill myself fine you all der bootiful clothes you have yourself bought." "From that day Latham became known to the baseball world as 'the dude.'" A Curlous Structure- On the road from Clifton downs to Avonmouth the traveler will pass, in the Avon gorge, a curious structure to which a singular tradition is attached, relates the London Tatler. The story is that a person named Cook about a century ago was told by a gypsy in the Leigh woods that his only son would be killed by a serpent before he reached the age of twenty-one. To avert this he built a high tower and shut his son in the topmost room with the intention of secluding him there until the fatal age was passed. However, by accident a viper was taken up in a fagot to the room to light the fire, and it crept from the fagot and bit the boy so that he died. Therefore the tower was called Cook's Folly, and that is its name to this day, whatever is the true explanation. An Ionable Use Washington Irving in "Crayon Papers" says: "I was once at an evening entertainment given by the Duke of Wellington at Apsley House to William IV. The duke had manifested his admiration of his great adversary, Napoleon, by having portraits of him in different parts of the house. At the bottom of the grand staircase stood the colossal statue of the emperor by Canova. It was of marble in the antique style, with one arm partly extended, holding a figure of Victory. Over this arm the ladies in tripping upetails to the ball had thrown their shawl. It was a singular office for the statue of Napoleon to perform in the mansion of the Duke of Wellington! Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay, etc. The Elder That Sware An elder of the kirk, having found a little boy and his sister playing marbles on Sunday, put his reproof in this form, not a judicious one for a child; "Boy, do you know where children go who play marbles on Sabbath day?" "Ay," said the boy. "They gang down to the field by the water belaw the brig." "No," roared out the elder; "they go to hell and are burned." The little fellow, really shocked, called to his sister: "Come awa', Jeanie. Here's a man swearing awfully."—"Reminiscences of Dean Ram-gay." Hate as Alda to Matrimony "The wise woman is as careful about the choice of a hat as she is about the choice of a husband." The celebrated author who uttered this dictum may have exaggerated, a little, but not much.

One of the Most Notable Scenes In the History of the War—The Parting of Comrades. Men who saw the defeated general when he came forth from the chamber where he had signed the articles of capitulation say that he paused a moment as his eyes rested once more on the Virginia hills, smote his hands together as though in some excess of inward agony, then mounted his gray horse, Traveler, and rode calmly away. If that was the very Gethsemane of his trials, yet he must have had then one moment of supreme, if chastened, joy. As he rode quietly down the lane leading from the scene of capitulation he passed into view of his men—of such as remained of them. The news of the surrender had got abroad, and they were waiting, grief stricken and dejected, upon the hillsides when they caught sight of their old commander on the gray horse. Then occurred one of the most notable scenes in the history of the war. In an instant they were about him, bareheaded, with tear wet faces, thronging him, kissing his hand, his boots, his saddle; weeping, cheering him amid their tears, shouting his name to the very skies. He said: "Men, we have fought through the war together. I have done my best for you. My heart is too full to say more."—From "Robert E. Lee, the Southerner." ERROR MEANT DEATH. Typesetters and Proofreaders on Chinese Paper Careful. China, with all its vast population, boasts not quite two dozen daily papers, but among them are the two oldest papers in the world. The Kin Pan used to be considered by Europeans the oldest paper, but it has been issued a mere thousand years. The Tsing Pao, or Pekin News, was first published 580 years before the Norman conquest and has been issued without intermission for nearly 1,400 years. The Tsing Pao has the appearance of a yellow backed magazine of twenty-four octavo pages, each page containing seven columns, consisting of seven "characters." Two editions are published—an edition de luxe for the court and the upper classes at a cost of 24 cents a month, and an edition inferior in paper and printing, costing 16 cents a month. It has a circulation of about 10,000 and is really the principal paper of China, chronicling the movements of the emperor and of the court and printing the ministerial reports. It is probably the most exact newspaper in the world. The punishment for an error in printing was until recently, at least, instant death.—New York Times. Old London Cookshops Mediaeval London, besides being a "city of taverns," was famous for its cookshops, such as the place on the river bank described by Fitzstephen in the thirteenth century: "There every day ye may call for any dish of meat, roast, fried or sodden, fish both small and great, venison and fowl. If friends come upon a sudden weared with travel to a citizen's house and they be loath to wait for curious preparations and dressings of fresh meat let the servant run to the water side, where all things that can be desired are at hand." This particular place of public cookery apparently did an indoor as well as an outdoor trade, for Fitzstephen further described it as being used both day and night by "multitudes of soldiers or other strangers who refresh themselves to their content on roast goose, the fowl of Africa and the rare gadwit of Ionla." But what were the two last mentioned viands?—London Chronicle. Sickroom Mirrors "Only a hand mirror should find place in a sickroom," said a doctor, "and it should be one flattering to the patient—the kind, for instance, which if the face is too broad will lengthen it a little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitious times. Many a patient has been frightened literally to death by bis haggard reflection—has looked, sighed and renounced hope. But many another patient in a really bad way—really desperate, too—being given a look at himself just after he has taken a stimulant has bucked up wonderfully. In fact, a sickroom mirror wisely handled is a curative agent, while recklessly handled it may kill." His Usual Way.

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 Wel 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." 11.

It is strange, and very strange, that the colored people in this city would rather go to the Academy of Music, where they are compelled to go to the pea-nut gallery, than to go to the Howard and other theaters where they are placed upon social equality. Is this class of "Jim Crow" colored people crazy? The Bee has been informed that these "Jim Crow" colored people would rather pay one dollar for a seat in the pea-nut gallery at the Academy, while the white people only pay 50 cents for orchestra chairs, when Old Kentucky comes to town. The Bee firmly believes that these self-same "Jim Crow" colored people would boycott Old Kentucky, at the Howard Theater, where they would be permitted to go and enjoy a first-class seat, than to give up their seats in the pea-nut gallery. The manager of the Howard Theater and Mr. J. Lubrie Hill, who has full charge of the stock company, are doing everything in their power to cater to the wishes of the people. They ask the question, the cause of their apparent non-appreciation. If this opportunity slips, the colored people in this city need never again expect any consideration from the white people. The colored citizens of this city are refused admission to all first-class theaters. The Academy of Music will permit them to separate seats, otherwise "Jim Crow" seats in the gallery, and they seem to be perfectly satisfied. There are some colored people in this city who are never happy unless they are behind the coat-tail of some white person, where they are not wanted. They don't seem to care how badly they are treated. The worse they are treated the better they love their oppressors. They don't seem to like or appreciate their own people. They would rather be in the same building with poor white trash than to be in a decent and respectable theater of their own and among their own. The real respectable white man or woman don't object being where colored people are. It is a certain class, and no doubt that these "Jim Crow" colored people are the ones they are endeavoring to shun. What is the cause, Mr. Hill wants to know. What can be done, Mr. Smith would be pleased to know. If these gentlemen knew the causes they would endeavor to remedy them. Every effort is being made by the management of the Howard Theater to accommodate the people in this city. The colored people have been lifted from the gutter and placed in a place of respectability. How much have the efforts of those gentlemen been appreciated? What encouragement is there for those who attempt to elevate the down trodden? The colored people in this city should hold up the hands of the Howard managers. What is the cause? What have they done? THE WHITE SOUTH. The sentiment of the Southern press on the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through North Carolina fully demonstrates what the Southern people think of him. The doctrine that he is preaching is such that will tend to change the feeling of the Southern people towards the colored people. Dr. Washington is doing something for the uplift of his people. Indeed, we find him to be a man who doesn't attempt to take anything from his people, but, if anything, he gives to them. Men who are doing something very seldom get the credit of being benefactors of the race. Let us hope, therefore, of seeing the South repent. Let us hope for a day when the colored Americans will be able to live in favor and happiness with his Southern neighbor. Everywhere Dr. Washington went through the State he was greeted by as many white people as he was by colored. Thousands of them shook his hand and bid him welcome. What more can be expected? Is the day breaking? Has the sun begun to shine? Let us live in hopes and pray to God that the resurrection of the South is not far off. Let the colored man South accumulate property and establish business. If this is done, race prejudice and race hatred will soon be acts of the past. These quarterly tours of Dr. Washington, will tend to elevate the colored Americans, and The Bee hopes that they will be continued until the light of day. DURHAM SURPASSED ALL The tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through North Carolina last week was one of the most successful tours that have been made as yet. The Bee had particular pride in seeing that Durham, N. C., would give the Doctor the greatest reception of any other city. The Bee was not disappointed. Durham, N. C., is the home of Dr. James E. Shepard, our distinguished friend. The white and colored citizens demonstrated what they could do to entertain Dr. Washington. The introductory address of Dr. Shepard was a masterpiece of oratory, such as no other man could deliver but Dr. Shepard. The citizens of Durham, surprised the sage of Tuskegee. Never in the history of his career was such a reception tendered any one citizen. Not even did Vice President Sherman receive the ovation that was accorded to Dr. Washington. Mr. Sherman addressed 2,500 people, and Dr. Washington 4,500, and hundreds were turned away from the hall. The banquet that was held in one of the National Religious Training School halls was fit for the gods. The event will be remembered for years to come. Dr. Shepard was the toastmaster, and his introduction of Dr. Washington was the occasion of the greatest ovation that has ever been witnessed in the South. Durham surpassed all. THE CATHOLIC PARADE. The Catholic Church taught the other good (!) white Christians, who believe in religion only for themselves, a lesson last Sunday afternoon. There were white and colored Christians in line, but they were Catholics, however, who believe in the black boy and girl as well as they do in the white. The parade was an object lesson, no doubt, to the white Christian (?) committee that barred colored Sunday schools from parading with them last year. O, what a difference there was last Sunday. We wonder if the devil discriminates. No, we don't believe that he does. There is no discrimination in the hereafter. We congratulate the Catholic Church on its successful and non-discriminating Christian parade last Sunday. We, The Bee, has always said that there are some white people in this world who don't look upon all colored people as criminals. If we only could teach the white people that we have some good ones among us and that we do some good deeds, there would be a change in the religious and political atmosphere throughout this country. BISHOP GRANT AND REGISTER VERNON Aent the discussion as to the attitude of the leaders of the A.M. E. Church and Register Vernon, The Bee is in a position to state that there is no break, and has not been. Articles appearing in different papers from time to time would indicate such; in fact, The Bee has never so thought. We are glad to say, however, that we are reliably informed that Bishop Grant and others who have been the Register's friends are his friends still, and that the Bishop and his associates were in no way responsible for the Register's not returning to Kansas to resume educational work at this time. Let us hope that the discussion may end here. This is our position in the matter. We have always regarded the Bishops of the various colored churches as large, broad-minded men, and we know Bishop Grant to be one of the big men of the race, a friend of the Register, and one who has done the world great service. THE CRISIS The Bee is in receipt of the Crisis, edited by Dr. DuBois. This paper supersedes the Moon and the Horizon. It is a well edited magazine, and the wish of The Bee is that it may succeed, notwithstanding the political upheaval in the country. The Moon has been overshadowed by the Horizon, until, at last, Dr. DuBois is confronted with a Crisis. The Bee congratulates this distinguished scholar on his new venture, and welcome it to our sanctum. There are breakers ahead, Doctor, without attacking those who are doing something. The world is large enough for you, and the burden upon colored Americans are the oppressions and discriminations of the white man who doesn't believe in equality of citizenship. D. W. BAKER. The defeat of B. H. Warner, Jr., is a vindication of District Attorney D.W. Baker. A man cannot ride into power and trust when he treats his fellow man unfairly. Mr. B. H. Warner, Sr., attacked Mr. Baker without a just cause. Mr. Baker has always lead the Republican party in Montgomery County, Md., long before he was U. S. Attorney, and why the fight should have been made on him that he was not properly conducting his office and refused to try men alleged to be guilty. The Bee is at a loss to know. Mr. Baker has been vindicated by the Court of Appeals and by the voters in the Sixth Maryland District. BOARD OF EDUCATION. Our Board of Education is giving satisfaction to the people. The people are with the board when it is being interfered with by the Engineer Commissioner. The Board of Education is serving the people without compensation and receives no credit for its gratuitous work.. It is the duty of the people to stand by the board when Congress convenes, and urge that the office of the assistant superintendent of schools be abolished. A change in that office is an absolute necessity. The colored teachers, parents and children will welcome a change. It is evident that the conditions in our schools warrant a change. HIS TRAVELS ABROAD. There will appear in this paper six articles especially written for The Bee by Dr. Booker T. Washington of his travels and what he saw. These articles will be six in number, and those who want to take advantage of the articles should send for The Bee at once. Dr. Washington, as the world knows, is one of the smoothest writers in the world; a philosophical reasoner. Don't fail to read these articles. They will appear in no other paper. The cost of making this trip and securing the material has been considerable. Send for The Bee now. WASHINGTON'S TOUR ABROAD. The readers of The Bee and those who don't read The Bee should not fail to subscribe now and be in time for the remarkable tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through Ireland, England, Scotland, France and other European countries. These letters are written exclusively for The Bee. They will not appear in any other paper. Send in your name now. THE ODD FELLOWS. All is serene in the Odd Fellows now. The insurgents have concluded that they are not in it. The regulars have decided to attend to the business of the organization. Now, just who will be chief justice of the Court of Odd Fellows is not a hard matter to guess. The Bee has been informed that the ub-committee of management will elect ex-Grand Master W. L. Houston. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Send for The Bee if you want to read Dr. Booker T. Washington's trip abroad. The articles that will appear in the Outlook are not the articles that are to appear in The Bee. These articles, six or more, are written by Dr. Washington especially for The Bee. The first article will appear shortly. MR. SLEMP ELECTED. Hon. Bascom C. Slemp, of the Ninth Virginia District, is elected to Congress. The Bee congratulates this rising Demosthenes. Mr. Slemp made a hard fight. THE ELECTIONS. The elections last Tuesday ought to convince the Republican party that the Democratic party has not changed at all. Democrats have been given everything in the way of offices, and have been permitted to disfranchise colored Americans with impunity, and yet it is not happy. What does Tuesday's elections mean? They mean one or two things, to wit: that the country is dissatisfied with the administration, or an attempt was made by the enemies of ex-President Roosevelt to rebuk him. The South, that received everything with Mr. Dickinson in the Cabinet; has brought nothing to the Republicans or the present administration. The Republican party cannot hope to succeed when it throws aside human rights. The colored man South has been eliminated from politics to please the Democratic party South. What has the Republican party gained? Right here in the District of Columbia the best offices have been filled by Democrats and colored Republicans ignored because they are colored. The Bee wanted the Republican party to win. Ex-President Roosevelt was rebuked, so the wise men in the East say. What has the Republican party gained by such a rebuke? Is it presumed that Mr. Roosevelt has been retired? By no means. In 1912 the Republican National Convention will be looking for a man to lead the stray sheep out of the wilderness. What man can lead? The convention will look to Theodore Roosevelt. It is evident that the Democratic party is hard to kill. It doesn't down. It is made of material that is elastic. The more you push the more elastic it gets. The Bee was confident that B. H. Warner, Jr., would be defeated. The Bee was aware of the feeling throughout the District against him. The friends of ex-Congressman Pierre and ex-United States Attorney D. W. Baker gave Mr. Warner the rebuke that he deserves. The Bee has no tears to shed. The voters in the Sixth Maryland District knew how Mr. Baker was treated by the father of young Warner. How ex-Congressman Pierre was treated last year by the Warners. The Bee hopes that both are wiser men now. The elections did not surprise The Bee. Men in public office ought to know that it pays to be true to their fellow man. Now let's go to work. CAPT. OYSTER There is no man in this city any more deserving of public recognition than Captain James F. Oyster. It is rumored that he is spoken of as the coming president of the Board of Trade. The Bee, as well as the people, would prefer to see him the successor of Commissioner Johnson. A WORTHY SCHEME. Shiloh Baptist Church has inaugurated a good business scheme to interest the race in business, which The Bee deems a worthy object. The first meeting will be held Friday night, November 11. Everybody should attend. How did you like it, "I told you so." It is not well to speak all you know, but what do you think of New. York and other States? Mr. Warner, of the Sixth Maryland District, is a wiser man now. He knows how to run a campaign. Corporation Counsel Thomas wants the good will of the colored people. The Bee has always found him to be a man of the highest type of manhood. Candidates for delegates to the next Republican convention will be seen soon. Mr. Sidney Bieber, National Committeeman for the District of Columbia, will be appointed to a big position in a few days. President Taft is satisfied that he deserves recognition. There is a feeling of unrest among the students of Howard University. What is the cause? Dr. Booker T. Washington will make one of his master speeches in this city before the Bethel Literary on Hampton evening. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., has been donated a service hall by a rich lady in the The True Reformers will come out of the mud untouched. Editor Mitchell, who poked so much fun at the closing of the Reformers' bank, had a run on his bank to such an extent that reports state that he could not meet the demands of the depositors. Will Editor Mitchell explain? One of our local contemporaries and a Philadelphia (Pa.) paper are having a war of words. THE WHITE SOUTH ON DR. WASHINGTON'S TOUR. (Durham Morning Herald.) Booker T. Washington, who spent Monday night here under the auspices of the Durham Negro Business Men's League, left Tuesday morning, after having addressed the students of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua. The educator appeared in Avery auditorium and a number of white people attended. One of them expressed himself after this order: "I wish we could keep that fellow here awhile. They call what he says 'good advice to his race,' but it is good for any race. I have seldom heard anything so good from anybody and it doesn't appear to have been mere talk." Booker T. Washington's Address. (The Durham, Sun.) Booker T. Washington spoke in this city last night at St. Joseph's Church to a crowd that completely filled—no, packed—the building. There was a goodly number of white people who went out to hear this noted Negro educator, and for these a section of the church had been reserved. There is one portion of Booker T. Washington's address at St. Joseph's Church last night that the Sun wishes to call special attention to, that is: "Both races of the South suffer at the hands of public opinion in one respect, and that is by reason of the fact that the outside world hears of our difficulties; hears of our crimes, hears of mobs and lynchings, but the outside world does not hear of, neither does it know about, the evidence of racial friendship and good will which exists in the majority of communities in North Carolina and other Southern States where blacks and whites live together." And in that one sentence Booker Washington has uttered a truth that should be taken heed of. The editor of this newspaper has long tried, in his small way, to eliminate the criminal side of the Negro news published in newspapers with which he has been connected. He has done some little good along this line—not as much as he would have wished to have done, but some good at least. The newspapers of the South have for years been giving column after column of space to Negro criminal items that should never have been published at all; they have educated a taste among their readers for this sort of thing that has become as much a habit as has the drinking of whiskey or the use of tobacco, and when a habit is once formed it is a hard proposition to overcome it. There has been too much attention paid to recorders, aldermanic and police courts, especially so in Negro cases; the people of other sections of the country have come to believe that there is no good whatever in the Negro because the Northern and Western editor reading his Southern exchanges sees little but criminal Negro news in those exchanges. The South has been hurt through this sort of newspaper making. It will take a long time to completely overcome the harm already done, but it can be overcome. So far as the Durham Sun is concerned, those readers seeking for salacious morsels of intellectual food may look elsewhere; they won't find it in the Durham Sun. We shall in future, as we have in the past, print the best of what Negro news comes to our table, but we don't want and won't use the low down trash that habitually floats into the newspaper sanctum. Hampton Night. The Hampton Institute Alumni Association, of Washington, D. C., held a meeting recently at the residence of Mr. F. D. Lee, 1704 10th street northwest, the President of the Association, who presided. Complete arrangements were made for the proposed educational mass meeting, to be held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historic Society, Friday evening, Nov. 18, 1910. Letters were read from Dr. H. B. Frissell, Principal of Hampton Institute, and Maj. R. R. Moten, Commandant of the cadets, and Dr. W. P. Thirkield, President of Howard University, stating they would be present and deliver addresses, and that they would bring with them the Hampton Jubilee Singers. Dr. Booker T. Washington has also been invited, and it is expected that he will be present. The object of this meeting is to assist in raising a scholarship fund for poor and worthy students at Hampton School, and also to help Miss Eloise Bibb in the Colored Social Settlement work of this city. Miss Bibb will also be one of the speakers at the mass meeting on Nov. 18. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chaplain of Hampton Institute and also instructor in the theological department of Howard University, addressed the meeting and impressed upon those present the need of Christian educational work among the colored people who live in the alleys and courts of our city. The meeting was well attended. Plain Facts. The time has come that the colored man will be last in nothing. As a matter of fact, the colored man has all the fine senses the white man has, and when an opportunity is given him to put them all in operation, he will go down to posterity as the white mans equal—The Bee. Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I fully intended last week to comment on Mr. R. R. Horner's recent interview, as published in the daily newspapers, on foot ball playing. It was a very sensible interview, and met my approbation. An old saying was that "a gun is dangerous without either lock, stock or barrel." And foot ball playing is dangerous with or without new rules. It is barely possible that too much stress is being put on athletics anyhow. One thousand or twelve hundred dollars per annum is paid physical culture or athletic teachers, and from twelve to twenty-one hundred, and more, for teachers of mental branches, yet the language, science and mathematical teachers must subordinate themselves to the athletic teacher. This is manifestly inconsistent. The leaders in thought, art and science today are men and women who had no acquaintance with those fadists—physical culture and athletic teachers in their school days. Our people do certainly like to ape and imitate. A few years ago, because a bunch of variegated migratory sons of Ham who were able to hire a washerwoman moved into the nineteen hundred block in Eleventh street, that block was styled euphoniously and distinguishably, "Quality Row." Now since a few high colored officials have segregated in T street, that thoroughfare is being referred to as "Executive Avenue." I presume this is a fad, however, that gives solace to those worried with the prosaic in life; so let them have it. \*\*\* My art education was sadly neglected in my youth, and this may account for my failure to appreciate as works of art these atrociously unbecoming hats the ladies are wearing this year. There is not one woman in a hundred who looks becoming under them. And these hobble and narrow clinging skirts the women wear, showing all the contour of their body, are so suggestive as to appear vulgar. They may do for the chorus girl whose weekly stipend is but an incident, and whose occupation on the stage is only an advertisement of her other proclivities, but for a woman or young girl who assays respectability, these skirts are inconsistent, to say the least. \*\*\* Now that the elections are over, there are a lot of "I-told-you-so" bits of humanity. Dr. Vernon, who orated up in New York State, and Dancy, who spellbinded in the Keystone State and New York, and Lincoln Johnson, who fitted out into the political waters, I presume are "knowledges" of just how and why it happened. And I presume when Ralph Tyler gets back from the Buckeye State, where he went on a hurry call, he will be full of the "why it was thus." Cyrus Field Adams—we came near forgetting him—also meandered out to Illinois to vote. If Cyrus is as reclusive in his own State as he is here, it must be like just moving from one monastery to another when he returns to Chicago. *** Now don't think I am getting to be a near-Roosevelt just because I express regret that Judges Mullowney and Pugh failed to select a colored man for one of the probation officers. However, it does seem that, with our people forming one-third of the population, and with four-fifths of these officers' work being among the meek and lowly and low Hamites, one of the three officers might have been a colored man. And to think that Judge Pugh, who was so solicitous for the assistance of all colored men of every degree, when he was aspiring for the judgeship, should so quickly forget one of the bridges that carried him over. I hesitate to call it ingratitude, so will simply call it injustice. *** 609 F street is a great rendezvous for colored men. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, pseudo newspaper writers, men with and without visible means of support, congregate there and damn, praise and criticise everybody and everything. From the number of black Blackstones that rent and rant within its four walls it has been styled the "Temple of Justice" and the "Temple Bar." It might, more appropriately and more truthfully, be called the Temple of Talk. As to justice, that particular article of diet is not always served up there with a garnish of equity. And to call it "Temple Bar" fails to incorporate some of the misnomens that habitually frequent its halls and rooms. But to style it "Temple of Talk" you get in all classes and species, and fully meet the approbation of Bob Pendleton, who domiciles there eight hours each day with a smile that is the same to all. And my friend Will Pollard, who is tasting success now with a pernicious regularity, has a "smile that won't come off" also. He and Pendleton could well pass for the Smiley twins. And Mendez King, with his sedate and mobile countenance, and studied walk, could, if he but put on the hood and robe of the cloister, easily pass for the Abby Bucone of the "Temple of Talk." \*\*\* Speaking about the "Temple of Talk," it seems singular that friend Chase never located up there. But it seems he preferred to move his legal dispensary away up on Eye street. "far from the maddening crowd," and there, like Billikins, the god of luck, Chase sits and dispenses alternately, and simultaneously, at times, law and news, and makes 1199 the mecca for all who want favors and fortunes. How he finds time to run a newspaper and take care of the interests of his many legal clients is a wonder. But in that thought tank that surmounts his big frame is a "turrible lot of method," and it's a very cold day in Greenland, when Chase is not right on to his job, catching them going and coming.

"Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland" was beautifully rendered by Mr. Hutchinson. He is no doubt one of the sweetest singers upon the American stage. He was recalled after the first rendition of this beautiful song. His voice is musical, soft and sweet. "Come Down and Kiss Me, Stella," by Mr. Louis Mitchell. This young artist assumed the character of an old man in Dixie Land, and it is quite evident that he is an important auxiliary to the show. The musical numbers were concluded with a female quartet, "When the Heart is Sad," Miss Mamie Butler and others. The singing was loudly applauded. Miss Hattie Akers sporting gentleman from Dixie to Bones. This trio is soon succeeded by the third edition, Messrs. Shelton and Hill and Miss Leona Marshall, three of the principal stars. Miss Marshall is their special interlocutor, a departure from the old style minstrelly. She never fails to elicit applause. Her smile, acting and dress all tend to make her queen of the stage. Mr. Shelton and Mr. Hill in their stunts are makers of fun. In the stunts in which Messrs. Brown and Shelton appear, bring forth enthusiastic applause, and so pleasing was their acting to the audience they were recalled several times. The musical numbers rendered between the two editions were as follows: "Play the Barber Shop Chord," by Mr. Charles Woody. Mr. Woody is a good singer and does well.

Mr. McGuinn is doing well at his new home. AT HOWARD. OPENING WEEK FOR THE MINSTRELS. Manager Smith, of Howard, gave the colored society of Washington a new bill Monday night which will continue all this week. He gave some new talent Monday and new costumes. Mr. J. Lubrie Hill, formerly conducted Mr. Lew W. Henry's new laughable afterpiece, entitled "Aunt Jamimie's Reception," in which Mr. Henry assumes the role of Aunt Jamimie. Both he and Mr. Hill are finished artists. The opening was a minstrel aggregation in which the entire company participated. Bones are Messrs. Minor, Ray and Howard; Tamborines are Messrs. Woody, Murry and Gibson. They are very clever. The circle of classic singers are Miss Hudlin, Miss Richard, Miss Sesco, Miss Ezel, Miss Carter, Miss Johnson, Miss Turner, Miss Akers, Miss Harris, Miss Gideon, Miss Jacobs and Miss Watts; Messrs. Green, Carr, Kelly, Govern, Hutchinson and Older. While seated in a semi-circle position, the opening chorus, entitled "Dear Washington," was rendered by the entire company. Miss Virgie Richards assumed the role of chorus interlocutor. She is a very graceful dancer and a sweet singer. The second edition interlocutor was Miss Mamie Butler, no doubt one of the best actresses in the show. Miss Butler assumes her character in a matter-of-fact manner.

He was recalled after the first rendition of this beautiful song. His voice is musical, soft and sweet. "Come Down and Kiss Me, Stella," by Mr. Louis Mitchell. This young artist assumed the character of an old man in Dixie Land, and it is quite evident that he is an important auxiliary to the show. The musical numbers were concluded with a female quartet, "When the Heart is Sad," Miss Mamie Butler and others. The singing was loudly applauded. Miss Hattie Akers MR. WILL BROWN.

Unique Weapon With Which the Man of Mystery and Murder Sought to Slay His Way to the Hand of the Woman He Loved. 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 ancient 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 Tecbalo, 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 rebuft. 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 dealing 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, runningly disguised, stationed himself at the church door armed with his diabolical weapon. As the bridgement 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 dled, 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, an 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 supplucion fell upon Tebaldo. The bereaved girl retired to a consent, 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. Lovers' Quarrels Nell—A lovers' quarrel always reminds me of a crazy quilt. Belle—How's that?

Men say women are angels; women say women are cats. Let us pause a moment and reason upon this thing. If women are angels—however, that does not seem to be the proper start- ing point. Let us try again. If angels are cats—but, no; that is hardly reasonable, for angels have wings, and cats do not fly. We must begin again. If women are cats—but that isn't possible, for cats do not talk, and how could a dumb animal express an opinion in words of a woman? Whatever cats may think, they never say a word about a woman, while women—well, women are not cats. Now let us return to the first propo- sition. If women are angels, they wouldn't say women are cats. Angels don't talk that way. Once upon a time a man married a woman. He said she was an angel; the women said she was a cat. Happy man, not to know the difference between an angel and a cat! Men say women are angels, and by this token women say angels are cats. Therefore, angels being cats, cats must be angels, and, both being the same, women are women. Which is precisely what they are. W. J. Lampton in Lippincott's. NEW MEXICO. How That Portion of Northern New Spain Got Its Name. The country now called Mexico was not so called till 1810, when the revolt against Spain began. Up to independence the country was called New Spain and was divided into the same number of provinces as Spain, each with a name of a province in Spain, with the prefix of "new," but New Mexico was not included in this division. It got its name in this way: In 1561 Francisco Ibarra was in charge of an expedition of exploration into what is now northern Durango and southern Chihuahua and discovered an Indian village near where Santa Barbara now stands in which the houses were whitewashed and the people made and wore cotton cloth, raising the cotton in the neighborhood. He wrote an account of his discovery to his brother in the City of Mexico, telling him he had discovered "una nueva Mexico," a new Mexico, another Mexico, meaning that he had found another town like the City of Mexico, and thereafter all this portion of northern New Spain was known as "Nueva Mexico"—that is, New Mexico—which name it has retained, though now much reduced in extent.—Las Vegas Optic. Muskrat For Meat Of all animals that supply meat to man the muskrat has been the most abused and the least understood, says the Baltimore Star. Its name had bred in the public mind a prejudice that has been almost unconquerable, but truth will prevail in spite of fate. As a fact the muskrat is one of the neatest and most delightful of animals. It is a crank in cleanliness. It dines with the care of an epicure. It eats only the whitest and tenderest morsels. And its flesh has qualities that can be compared only to terrapin. Indeed, there are good people along the Cheapeake, where all the best things live and grow, who find in the well served muskrat satisfaction that is equal to the diamondback. Only the ignorant and the prejudiced think differently, and they may be educated. Ripening Bananas. It is a familiar fact that bananas are imported green, but it came as a new thing to a visitor to the banana district in Colombia to find that bananas are not permitted to ripen on the plant even down there. They are cut and set to hang somewhere until they wither ripe, as the phrase is. Bananas do not have to be yellow to be ripe. That is only the color of the skin when it has dried up. To the person who is accustomed to eating bananas only when they are yellow it seems odd to peel them when they are green and find that they are perfectly ripe within and fit to eat.—New York Sun. The Prisoner's Retort. It is a prison chaplain's duty to give a departing prisoner good advice and to exhort him to be a decent and honorable man in the future. In the course of one of these interviews a chaplain said. "Now, my friend, I hope you'll never have to come back to a place like this." The prisoner looked at him thoughtfully and then asked. "I say, chaplain, you draw a salary here; don't you?" When the chaplain replied in the affirmative the prisoner remarked. "Well, say, if me and the other fellows didn't keep coming back you'd be out of a job." Didn't Need a Doctor "Let me kiss those tears away!" he begged tenderly.

To See This Fabled Custodian of the Royal Jewels of the Ancient Aztees is to Die and Help the Siren Guard the Hidden Treasures. Malinche, or Malinteze, as some of the old Mexican writers spell it, is the water sprite, the mermaid, who lives in two famous springs in Mexico that are said to be connected by natural underground waterways. She is invisible to all except those who never return to tell the tale, yet it is easy to see her, they say. In the daytime Malinche lives in the little spring bed pool just within the iron gates of Chapultepec. Here she is a sweet spirit, always wooing the passerby with the music of her gentle voice. At nighttime she is miles away, and her voice is wicked and mournful. It will add interest to this legend of the Malinche if the traveler when he starts out to visit Chapultepec for the first time will pause at the Cauhtemoc statue in the second gloriosa of the Paseo and take a long look at it, not only because it is a noble work of art, but because this Indian hero was the last ruler of his race, the Aztecs, and in the final struggle called Malinche to his aid. A bronze relief in the base of the pedestal on which the statue stands shows the chief being tortured to compel him to reveal the hiding place of the wealth of his kingdom. Cuauhtemoc's stolical bearing rebukes the complainings of his comrade, whose feet are also roasting over the slow fire in the brasero beneath them, and when he at last cries out in angulsh Cuauhtemoc reproves him. "For shame, palm heart. Do you think I am taking my pleasure in my bath that you appeal to me?" The magnificent old cypress trees that surround the rock of Chapuitepec on a slightly lower level than the spring were old before the conquest, and among them Cuauhtemoc and his plumed and painted warriors guided their canoes to the enchanted spring when they came to quench their battle thirst. Protected by these brave old trees, Cuauhtemoc climbed the rocks and from the heights watched the maneuvers of his enemies on the lakes. Close by the storied spring stands the monarch of them all, Montezuma's tree. It is awe inspiring to follow with the eye its rugged bole up over the growth of centuries and try to measure with the mind the history that has been enacted beneath its waving boughs. Perhaps the magic spring at its feet caused it to grow higher and more majestic than its fellows. Here in its shade Montezuma sat and wept when he foresaw his downfall. Here Cuauhtemoc vowed that if he could not overcome the Spanlard he would give the Aztec treasure to Maliinche. She overheard him make this now and whispered from the fringed brink of the mirroring water that she would receive the trust at the spring of Atzcapotzalco, three or four miles away. This town, whose name looks so unpronounceable to the strangers, but sounds so smooth when uttered by a Mexican, has a little suburb, Zancopinca, that has been made famous by Mallinche's spring. It is here that Mallinche loses the sweet nature by which she is known at Chapultepec and becomes a wicked spirit. The legend relates that she grew savage because she was set to guard the treasure that Cuauhtemoc secretly conveyed to her when the hour of despair had arrived for his people, though another tradition says that he selected that hiding place because of her wild and brave spirit². However that may be, it was there that he carried the royal jewels of the Aztecs and much gold and silver when he knew that he was about to be defeated by Cortes. Calling up the Mалиne, he gave all into her keeping and then went to his doom. Down deep into the hidden grottoes of her home Mалиne dragged the hoarded treasures. Long passageways connect these chambers and by many tortuous wounds reach either spring. The walls of rock crystal and chalcedony have been polished and worn into fantastic shapes by the running water. There are long, narrow shelves on which the treasure is strewn and glittering stalactites that catch long strings of pearls and emeralds and hold them swaying in the winds of the caves. Glowworms and electric fishes light the fairy scene, and the water makes constant music, but the Mallinche is not happy. If you go near the pool at Zancopinca you will hear her voice lamenting, and often in the nighttime it may be heard afar off. If the unwary traveler pauses to listen he will hear cries of distress and anger and sad moanings that attract him to their relief. He will come nearer and nearer to the spring and, bending down that his ear may be close, he will hear troubled waters rushing among hidden rocks. When his face is above the pool a pair of white arms will rise up out of the water and clasp him about the neck. He is never seen again. He has gone to help the siren guard the treasure of Cuanhtemoc.-Mary Worral Hudson in Mexican Herald. Nature is lavish in the production of everything but great men.-Hubbard. HOLY GROANING. The Sins of Worldly Pleasures In the Seventeenth Century Included Laughing and Even Smiling. Buckle gives a graphic picture of the attitude of the kirk of Scotland to worldly pleasures during the seventeenth century. Cheerfulness, especially when it rose to laughter, was to be guarded against. Smiling might occasionally be allowed; still, being a carnal pastime, it was a sin to smile on Sunday. No husband should kiss his wife and no mother her child on the Sabbath day. Jesting was incompatible with a holy and serious life. The ministers were given much to weeping, groaning and lamentations. One, the Rev. Alexander Dunlop, was noted for his "holy groan." To engage in the frivolous art of writing poems was condemned. Men should not disport themselves with music; dancing was a "serious sin;" joyousness even at a christening was a scandal. One should speak and walk with gravity and solemnity; he should not enjoy his dinner; only the ungody relished food. The great object of life was to be in a state of affliction. Whatever pleased the senses was to suspected. Whatever was natural was wrong. The churchmen grew sour in countenance, harsh in voice. Joy and love disappeared or were forced to hide in obscure corn was MAN MONEY. The Old Teutonic Law on Killing or Injuring Others. The system of atoning for death or bodily injuries inflicted on others by paying damages is as old as the earliest Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus. The trespasser was always required to make peace with the aggrieved family of the vietim by "Wer-Geld." "Wer" is the ancient German for man. "Geld," now, as in the days of Wotan, means money. Damages were assessed in accordance with the rank and wealth of the injured party, and the money was paid over in the presence of the whole community, its acceptance forestalling feuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer-Geld ("money for the man") killed by law precluded further bloodshed or other forms of revenge. If the slayer was not rich enough to pay the required sum, he turned over to the injured parties his sons as slaves. If his sons were not sufficient guarantee for the payment of the debt, the slayer himself had to turn bondsman, both the letter and the spirit of the law requiring that the full amount of damage inflicted be recovered by the aggrieved parties.—New York World. Fulfilling His Agreement. Having become tired of living in rented houses, Mr. Gwimple had bought a home of his own. Not having enough money to pay for it outright, he had made a cash payment of $1,000 and given a trust deed on the property for the remainder. One night, not long after he had taken possession of his new home, Mrs. Gwimple roused him from a deep sleep. "Gerald," she said, "somebody is trying to get into the house!" Mr. Gwimple crawled out of bed and started downstairs. "What are you going to do?" she asked him. "I'm going to let him in," he answered, half awake. "To let him in! Who?" "The man that holds the trust deed on this property," he mumbled. "The document I signed binds me to admit him to the premises at any hour of the day."-Youth's Companion. Too Much For His Mind.

In fact, I think I may say without fear of misrepresentation that they're punk." "Well," suggested he who was listening, "why don't you wait until third thoughts and act on them?"

Edward Thatch, Who Was Known as the Blackbeard Pirate. After the Hand to Hand Conflict the Desperado's Head Hung at the Bowsprit End of the Lieutenant's Sloop as She Sailed Back to Virginia. It is almost 200 years since Edward Thatch, better known as the pirate Blackbeard, was a.name with which to terrorize the Atlantic coast of the then new country of America. As a buccaneer whose deeds of desperate daring made him feared wherever his name was known he stands a close rival of the famous Captain Kidd, if indeed in some respects he did not surpass that notorious freebooter. The date of Thatch's birth is lost in history, and his native place is variously given as Bristol and Jamaica. He first appears as a foremast hand to Major Stede Bonnet, a gentleman of Barbados, who, although a man of property and having small knowledge of the sea, thought proper to fit out a sloop and take to a life of piracy, the explanation of his being "a little distracted" being charitably given by one blogger. However that may be, his crew missed in the major the qualities of a successful commander. They deposed him and elected Thatch in his place. Bonnet was tried and executed in 1711. Thatch's first independent exploit of which we have a detailed account took place in June, 1718, when he captured two French ships near the Bermudas, one laden with sugar, the other empty. Transferring to the latter the crew of the laden vessel and letting them go their way, he sailed with his prize of vessel and sugar for Bathtown, N. C., with the governor of which place, Charles Eden, he had previously arrived at a pleasant understanding. Thatch gave out that he had found the French ship deserted. Governor Eden received sixty hogsheads of sugar as his share. Tobias Knight, his secretary, took twenty, and the remainder fell to Thatch and his crew. Thatch lingered there for some months, plundering and insulting the merchants of the place. These, understanding at length the futility of expecting redress from Eden, applied to the governor of Virginia to rid them of the pest. The governor, after consultation with the captains of the Pearl and Lime, then lying in the James river, agreed to provide two sloops, the warships to furnish a complement of men. Lieutenant Maynard of the Pearl was placed in command, and the punitive expedition sailed on Nov. 17, 1718. On the 21st the pirates were sighted in an inlet about sixty miles from-Bathtown, and Maynard anchored for the night. On the following morning Thatch, maneuvering to elude attack, ran his vessel aground, but Maynard's sloop, drawing more water, though she had no guns on board, failed to get to close quarters. The lieutenant, however, threw out his ballast and in answer to a truculent defence from Thatch promised to be "soon aboard him with his sloop." Coming at last within close range, a broadside from the pirate killed or wounded twenty of Maynard's crew and nine on board his consort. Maynard now ran alongside the pirate, when under cover of a discharge of grenades. Thatch and fourteen followers boarded the king's ship. Maynard and Thatch, platoil and sword in hand, engaged in a desperate perusal encounter. The lieutenant's sword broke, and more than once he narrowly escaped a fatal injury. But at last Thatch, having received sixteen wounds, fell dead in the act of cocking a pistol. His followers jumped overboard and cried for quarter. Maynard hung Thatch's head at the bowsprit end, sailed for Bathtown, where he seized the governor's storehouse, and then, still with his grisly sign of triumph swinging in the wind, rejoined his ship in Virginia, where thirteen of the captured pirates were hanged. One of the Blackbeard's crew who obtained pardon was Israel Hands, who makes his appearance in "Treasure Island." Shortly before Thatch met his death Hands had been lamed for life by a pistol shot in the knee fired by Thatch from under the cabin table, at which he, with Hands and others, was carousing, just to remind his crew in general "who he was." Such an act was only one of the many eccentric brutalities of Thatch's career. When he felt himself in the vein or was going into action his appearance was somewhat startling—his bushy black beard tied up with ribbons, the ends of which were thrown over his ears; a fur cap on his head, with a lighted match on either side, and three brace of platos slung across his shoulder. Of the usual condition of himself and his crew much may be gathered from the fact that "our company somewhat sober" was a circumstance deemed worthy of note in the diary found after his death—London Globe.

Travelers in Africa find the standard of living somewhat different from what they are accustomed to at home. Mary Hall in her book, "A Woman's Trek From the Cape to Cairo," throws a strong light upon the condition of market and kitchen in British Central Africa: When the native butcher proposes to kill an ox, notice to that effect is sent round to the white people on the previous day. Once they were apprised of the fact by the following startling announcement: "A bule will be murdered tomorrow morning at 6 a. m." This cold blooded crime, so carefully premeditated, even to the exact hour, was, however, not committed, as the next morning a second notice was issued as follows: "The bule ran away this morning, so was not murdered." But this was an exceptional case. I heard one story which is so characteristic of the native that I repeat it. The man who related it told me that the incident occurred when he was on a journey and was suffering from a bad attack of fever. One evening he fancied he would like some eggs and told his boy to get two and boil them lightly. After a time they were brought to him as hard as bullets. He told the boy he must get some more and boil them less; but, alas, these were brought to him in the same condition, and the poor fellow wished he had never ordered them at all. Being unwilling to give in, he made another attempt and told his boy, "Come to me when the water bolls." The boy did so. "Now," said his master, "put the eggs in, and when you have counted fifty take them out." The native method of reckoning is to count up to ten and then begin again, arriving at the total by the number of the tens counted. The slick man heard the boy start fair and get as far as four tens, when a second boy interfered and questioned whether it were the third or fourth ten. This started a discussion, and as they could not agree it was decided to begin all over again. Meanwhile the eggs were still boiling and getting harder and harder. This was about the last straw, and, ill as the man felt, he was compelled to get out of bed and put a summary end to the cooking operations. SOME SURE THINGS Do Not Bet on Your Ability to Perform These Feats. Bets to be avoided by those who are cocksure they can do all things are those relating to athletic feats. It would seem that a good runner could easily give a start of fifty yards in a hundred to a man who was doing the fifty yards by hopping on one leg. But few runners, if any, can afford to give that amount of start to any man who is at all strong on his legs. For the first five yards or so they go at practically the same pace, so that to run ninety-five yards while his opponent is hopping forty-five he has to go more than twice as fast, and it is a weak man indeed who cannot hop fifty yards in ten seconds. An ordinary wooden match is easily broken in the fingers, but, although there are many who will bet they can do it, none succeed in accomplishing the task if the match is laid across the nail of the middle finger of either hand and pressed upon by the first and third fingers of that hand, despite its seeming so easy at first sight. No one can crush an egg placed lengthwise between his clasped hands—that is, if the egg be sound and has the ordinary shell of a hen's egg. It is safe to bet a man that he cannot get out of a chair without bending his body forward or putting his feet under it if he is sitting on it, not at the edge of it. Another equally certain wager is that a man cannot stand at the side of a room with both of his feet touching the wainscoting lengthwise. It is safe to bet any man, save one who is blind, that he cannot stand for five minutes without moving if he is blindfolded. Very Different It is never embarrassing in a novel for a rich man to find a lot of poor kin. There is always a vacancy in a bank, where the rich man finds a good position for the oldest son, who soon becomes the bank's president. Another child shows a genius for painting, and the rich man sends him to Italy to study. In a month or two the child returns a great artist. But how different in real life! Ah, how vastly different!
