VOL.XXXI NO27 Death Of A Heroine Laid to Rest in Payne's. Some few days ago one of the oldest and most remarkable characters of the Negro race passed into the beyond. 'Way back in the dark days when the conflict raged hot between those trying to retain slavery and the other side believing that slavery should no longer exist, the contrabands flocked into this city from Maryland and Virginia, and were cared for in the "camp" at 16th and R streets. Here, too, were many wounded soldiers—boys in blue. An angel of mercy wandered up and down this camp, preparing food, binding up wounds, pouring in the oil of sympathy, taking a last thought to be delivered to some loved one at home, wiping off the death-dampped brow, lowering the head and offering up a last prayer, was Mother Daphne Whitlow. When Freedman's Hospital was opened, she went from the camp to continue her good work. She remained in active service in the hospital until about 20 years ago, when old age compelled her to stop. She had so endeared herself to all, and done such good work, both as an army and a hospital, an army she was sheltered in Freedman's and she was an infant. All honor to the physicians and nurses who took such excellent care of this great woman. Last Thursday, at 12:35, the messenger came and called her at the ripe age of 112 years. Dr. Warfield notified Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of Department of Potomac Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. Layton notified Mr. Hawkins, senior deacon of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, who, in the name of her church, sent for the body. Mother Whitlow had been a member of the Baptist Church for over 80 years. Mrs. Layton was present at Lincoln Woman's Relief Corps (white), on Friday night, and announced the death of this army nurse. Mrs. Street, of that corps, came forward and gave Mrs. Layton a bill, and asked that a floral tribute be purchased and placed on her casket. Mrs. I. W. Ball, of the same corps, presented to Mrs. Layton a large flag to wrap Nurse Whitlow's casket in, and let her be buried with the Stars and Stripes. The Young People's Shining Star Club, Mrs. Mary Sewell, president, and the Missionary Society, Mrs. Maria Bias, president, assisted the church financially in giving Mother Whitlow a Christian funeral. She having no relatives at all, these two societies followed the corpse as mourners. The church was packed to overflowing. The choir was at its best. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, assisted by Revs. Enoch Harris, George W. Brent, P. Barton, D. Wiseman and S. P. Drew, paid high tributes to this aged warrior—especially Dr. Wiseman, who had known her in the hospital for about 30 years. Miss Florence Roots read an eulogy from the church and club. It was an imposing sight as the body was conveyed in the church. Miss Annie Grinnage, president of O. P. Morton Corps, Miss Julia B. Collier, Mrs. Mary Doughlass, of the same corps, and Mrs. Frances Frelinghuysen, of Chas. Surmen Corps, on invitation of Mrs. Layton, served as color bearer, and carried the silk flag. The preceded the corpse. Mrs. Layton followed, carrying the flag and floral tribute tied with the National colors. At the close of the eulogy in behalf of the old soldiers and Woman's Relief Corps, the flag was wrapped around the casket. Other beautiful floral tributes from the doctors and nurses, etc., rested on the flag. In the audience were Dr. Warfield and little son, the Department president and members of the staff, Miss Jordan, Mrs. Collier and Green, and others members of the Relief Corps. Under crossed flags this immense audience passed around to gaze for the last time upon that battle-scarred heroine and Negro army nurse. Peace to her ashes. THE HOWARD THEATER No Discrimination Allowed—Not All White Shows. Washington, D. C., November 26, 1910. Dear Mr. Chase: I have intended to call upon you, but have been unable to do so, and think that probably this letter may answer the same purpose. I must confess that I am very much concerned in the success of the "Howard Theater," that has recently been erected in this city. I have attended the performances at this place, have watched its progress, and am surprised that it has not so far been a perfect success. You being an editor of a Washington weekly, the oldest colored paper in this District, I know have not been unmindful of the lax support that the playhouse in question has received at the hands of your people. In recent years, I have noticed a statement that the Howard in the future would exhibit only white shows. This was a shock to me, in the face of the announced policy in the beginning and the fact that the audience that have attended the house were attracted by the "Smart Set" Company. However, in order to satisfy myself as to the truth of the statement from first hand, I communicated with the management, and received a visit from Mr. Faulkner, the present manager, and received a visit from Mr. Faulkner, the present manager, and received a visit from him. He went into detail with me, explaining the late changes, and convinced me that they were for the best. The two facts about which I was-most anxious to be enlightened were first, as stated above, whether its doors were closed forever to colored shows of merit, and second, whether there was to begin a new policy of segregation of the races. To both of these questions I received a negative reply. Of course, the public knows well that if the house depended solely on colored shows of merit, its doors have to close; then again, it is an evident fact that it was out of the question to try to write plays to order. The Howard, like every other enterprise, has had to have an experimental stage, and indeed is now passing through that stage in its short existence. No one can deny that it has done well in the past, and the new management promises to surpass its previous efforts in the future. The last play, St. Elmo, was a well-staged, ably presented and refined interpretation of the book. In fact, Mr. Twomey's dramatization is, according to many critics, far superior to that given at the Academy of Music. Yet we found many of our people attending that place, not, I am afraid, in spite of restrictions they undergo in the way of segregation, etc., but, it seems, because of these conditions. It is very unfortunate for us that this state of affairs exists. It is too bad that so many would rather attend a place where they will be herded together with the very meanest and most insulting of both races, than to go where they have all the privileges that any people can ask; where they can sit where they please, and be free of the atmosphere and restraint of unreasonable and uncalled-for prejudices. Mr. Faulkner assured me that the Howard has and will always have her doors open for the exhibition of any meritorious colored performance. In fact, he showed me his engagement book, so that I could see for myself that there was no truth in that talk of barring colored shows. According to the booked engagements, Mr. Jack Johnson will be at the Howard with a white company; of course, Johsonon will be the attraction. The "Smart Set," that scored such a success, is to return this winter, the Dixie Minstrels, "Black Patti" and the Whitney Musical Stock Company, and other attractions for the early spring. Considering the subject from another standpoint, the financial, let me say that if I use the exact words of Mr. J. S. Rosenthal, the vice president of the National Amusement Company, that he used in his answer to my inquiries, I think the risk that was undertaken and the confidence reposed in the colored population of the District of Columbia by the proprietors of this theater will be made plainer and more forcible than I can possibly make them. Mr. Rosenthal says among other things: "We built this theater and dedicated it to the colored people of the District of Columbia to afford them an opportunity of visiting a playhouse on the same terms as their fellowmen, irrespective of race or color. We were aware that such a policy would in all probability cost us the patronage of the white people, but undeterred by this probable loss, we went ahead, believing that there were sufficient self-respecting and appreciative colored people who would patronize our house as to make the investment profitable. We reasoned that one-third of the population of your city is colored, and that there were seven or eight theaters which had to depend on the white population for their patronage, and if these two-thirds could and would support eight theaters, surely one-third could and would support one theater. Besides, we figured that a theater dedicated to their use would appeal to their self-respect and their pride of race, all the more so because of the intense racial prejudices which unfortunately exists in Washington." No one can object to this view of the situation. Let me say that the new Howard is a magnificent house, in which one feels the exhilarating sensation of unrestrained freedom and sincere welcome. The project is said to have cost in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars. It was a riffing undertaking to play erect building apparatus and complete in all its appointments; and to announce in the very beginning the policy that all can say has been kept to the letter. We can say again that the very undertaking showed the confidence the promoters had in at least the one hundred thousand colored people in the District of Columbia to support it. The natural conclusion to draw from all that has been said is that at least all the theater goers of the one hundred thousand colored people in the District should see to it that the only theater where they are welcome at all times has their undivided patronage at all times, and shall continue to have it as long as her policies remain unchanged, and I was assured that as the theater was dedicated to these policies, it will never change them so long as the Howard receives the patronage and support of the people that it deserves. Yours very respectfully, WM. A. COLEMAN, District Building. Banner Meeting of Christian Endeavors A banner meeting among Christian Endeavorsers was held at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church-last Sunday, when Reverend Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and Mr. E. P. Gates, president of the District Christian Endeavor Union, spoke. Dr. Radcliffe urged upon those present to be true to their faith. He cited the example of the people of Scotland, who the ruler tried to persuade into W. H. President William Howare Tafta his religious ideas. So intent were they upon following their own ideas of worship that they hurriedly got together and signed a covenant swearing allegiance to their faith. Dr. Radcliffe stated that in some instances the sturdy Scotchman would prick their veins and sign the covenant with their own blood. And, on the end, such expressions as "even to the end," "till death," would be added to their names. The speaker exhorted the young men to take hold with a strong heart and immeasurable courage the places ceded to them, especially in the halls by their fathers. This "he said," is an age of young men. Upon your shoulders have been placed the burdens which once were ours." He also exhorted the Christians not to become discouraged. Refutes His CONTRADICTS RE Not Fifty Thousand in Ohio Special to The Bee. CLEVELAND, O. Bee, containing Rev. dron's ambitious circle number of colored States who voted ticket have been ree states that 55,000 colored the Democrat there are not to exceed voters in the States here how 55,000 Mr. E. P. Gates next spoke for a few moments. Never before has the audience listened to such a vivacious and energetic young man. There can be no doubt, whatever, of Mr. Gates' sincerity towards Christianity. He gave many valuable suggestions for increasing the activity of the Endeavor Society. He urged that endeavorers keep before them three fundamentals: "Information, Inspiration and Perspiration." "Without information," he said, "no work can be successfully launched. Without inspiration the work cannot be carried on. And, without perspiration, without physical exertion, the work cannot succeed." Mr. Gates amused the audience by telling the story of a lover who once wrote a letter to his fiance. This lover told his fiance that he was willing to go through fire for her; that he was willing to climb the highest mountain peaks for her; that he was willing to brave the fiercest storms for her. On the end of the letter he put this postscript: "I'll be around to see you Friday night if it don't rain." This, Mr. Gates said, is the way with some professed Christians. They are willing to put in black and white that they will do such and such a thing, and end up with the postscript that "they will be around to prayer meeting Thursday night if it doesn't rain." Mr. Gates was so full of enthusiasm, which he injected into the audience, that those present regretted that a previous engagement elsewhere prevented him talking longer. Mr. Edward Tarring added interest to the meeting by making a few remarks. In conclusion he extended an invitation to the Endeavor Society to join the Endeavor Union. He further stated that any of the fifteen officers of the Union, whose office is in the Colorado Building, would be more than glad to address the society whenever called upon to do so. Dr. L. B. Moore, of Howard University, and Reverend and Mrs. E.W. Williams, added interest and encouragement to the meeting with a few remarks. Reverend and Mrs. Williams will depart for Abbeville, S. C., this week, to carry on their work in that city. The audience listened with delight to the duet sung by Misses Ada and Virginia Williams. The rendition by them of "One Sweetly Solem Thought," held those present enaptured. Miss Katherine Davidge played a mandolin solo. Miss Davidge rendered her selection with the same delicacy which always characterized her playing. She was accompanied by Miss Rosa Hershaw. The Azalean Mandolin and Guitar Club played several selections, which were highly appreciated. Their rendition of "Nearer My God to Thee" held the audience spellbound. Those present undertook a charitable service by subscribing five dollars to a man who was incapacitated in a railroad wreck some months ago. The Endeavor officers are: Miss M. M. Penn; president; Miss Edith Savoy, vice president and pianist; Miss Ellen Lee, secretary, and Miss Ida Freeman, treasurer. On next Sunday (Dec. 4) Professor Kelly Miller, of Howard University, will speak. The meetings are open to all. Discussions are solicited. Refutes His Figures CONTRADICTS REV. WALDRON. Not Fifty Thousand Colored Votes in Ohio. Special to The Ree CLEVELAND, O.—Copies of The Bee, containing Rev. J. Milton Waldron's ambitious circular, giving the number of colored men in various States who voted in Democratic ticket have been received here. He states that 55,000 colored men in Ohio voted the Democratic ticket, when there are not to exceed 45,000 colored voters in the State. The question arises here, how 55,000 could be voted out of 45,000. Based on the vote a colored Democrat received, who ran for the legislature in Franklin County, this State, he received only 383 votes total, when there are 4,000 colored votes in said county, we only have eight per cent of the colored vote voting with the Democrats, and if this ratio was maintained throughout the State, then not more than 3,600 colored men out of the 45,000 colored voters in Ohio voted the Democratic ticket. We out here are of the opinion that Rev. Dr. Waldron knows little of Ohio. The only way to arrive at a possible understanding of what per cent on number of one particular class of voters cast their ballots against the party with which it has been allied is to make a careful analysis of the vote by wards and precincts. The Ohio election shows that the greatest, and practically all, of the heavy falling off of the Republican vote was in the white wards and precincts. In the densely populated colored precincts of Ohio, the Republican vote was normal at the last election, Reverend Doctor Waldron to the contrary notwithstanding. If he doubts this statement, let him send to the Secretary of State and secure the tabulated vote by wards and precincts. GALBRAITH CHURCH ANNIE VERSARY.

A composition, read by a small boy, in which he named some of the things for which he was most thankful, was especially interesting. He mentioned the facts that "I am thankful I am a boy, and that I am a good boy. I am thankful, too, we have the championship of the world, Jack Johnson. At the end of their program, Mrs. Collins told a beautiful and instructive story of the Bible.

This department was organized in 1890. It has had 11 corps, nine of which were white and two colored. At present there are nine corps, two are colored and seven white. The colored, O. P. Morton No. 1, and Chas, Sumner, No. 2, have always stood in the foremost ranks. Among some who have made brilliant records as corps presidents, and also on the Department Council, may be mentioned Miss Mattie R. Bowen, Mrs E. W. Marshall, Mrs C. Wilkinson (deceased), Mrs C. E. Butcher, Dr. Carrie H. Thomas, Mrs Mary E. Griffin, Mrs Mamie Hutchins, Miss Marie L. Jordon, Mrs Julia C. Collier, Mrs A. E.

Thompkins, Miss Annie Grinnage, Mrs Julia West Hamilton, Mrs Lula Chase Goldsberry, Mrs Clara Chase Knox, Miss Emma Patterson, Miss Mary Howard, Mrs Fowler. These good women and many others have done and are doing now yeoman service. This department has had 21 years of constant service, and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton has been in some way connected with every administration. She has served as senior vice president, press correspondent (five terms), department secretary under seven presidents by appointment, and is now department secretary, department inspector, past national assistant inspector, past national special aide; been elected three times as delegate-at-large, and secretary of nearly every convention. At the last Department Convention she was presented with a costly jeweled ring made by Tiffany, New York City. The center is a large pigeon ruby, brought from the mines of South America, and presented by one of the first presidents she served. This ruby is surrounded by small diamonds for as many years as the Department is old (21). This was given her by her friends of both races in the Woman's Relief Corps and Grand Army. Maj. Gen. Wood, chief of staff, in his annual report to the Secretary of War, paints a gloomy picture of the lack of preparedness of the army in case of war.

GOT HIM CHEAP. The Way Sir Morel Mackenzie, the Famous Surgeon, Was Once Cleverly Tricked. Sir Morel Mackenzie once, received a wire from Antwerp asking him his charges for a certain operation. He replied £500 and was told to come at once. When he stepped upon the dock he was met by three men in mourning, who informed him sadly that he had come too late, the patient had died. "But," said the spokesman of the party, "we shall pay you your full fee." And they did. "And now," said the man, "since you are here, what do you say to visiting the city hospital and giving a clinic for the benefit of our local surgeons? It is not often they have an opportunity of benefiting by such science as yours." Sir Morel said he would gladly comply. He went to the hospital and performed many operations, among which were two of a similar nature to that for which he had been called for. When he had finished all thanked him profusely. On the steamer going home he met a friend, who had a business house in Antwerp. "Pretty scurry trick they played on you. Sir Morel." "What do you mean?" asked the surgeon. "Told you: the patient died: before you arrived, didn't they?" "Yes." "Lies. You operated on him and a friend with the same trouble at the clinic. Got two operations for one price." HE WAS EXCITED. And Yet He Was Making Only a Very Reasonable Request. It was a dramatic scene, pregnant with the most tragic possibilities. Thus thought a witness to the meeting of three Italians near the big express depot at Fifteenth and Market streets. A man and woman who were delivering a trunk into the hands of a clerk were suddenly confronted by another man, who was highly excited. He approached the woman. In voluble Italian he raved and swore and pleaded, while she shrilled equally excited answers. The other man stood back against the wall, his arms folded defiantly, his head sunk on his chest. It certainly looked as if daggers were to be drawn. The interested bystander asked of some listeners who understood the rapidly spluttered dialect what the trouble was all about. "Why." was the volunteerized translation, "this woman has run away from her husband with this man," pointing to the sulky individual. "Oh, and he is begging her to return?" was the next query. "Not on your life," was the expressive reply. "She has packed up all her husband's clothes in her trunk, as well as her own, and he is begging her to give back at least his Sunday suit."—Philadelphia Record Baked Men. Workers in porcelain factories are literally baked, but by some miracle of use and wont they remain sufficiently underdone to live. At least if they are not quite baked they endure a stronger heat than that which browns the Sunday strioln. The furnaces wherein porcelain is finished are kept at the fiercest heat used in any industry. A chain of workmen, their heads and bodies swathed in fireproof garments, take the finished pieces from the fire one at a time and pass them to the cooling room. The man at the head of this chain—he who stands nearest the furnace—can work in only five minute shifts.

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 Brown's," said Comiskey, "he 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 Latham: "Arlie, my poy, you must be glad that I, Chris, was proud mit you, an' I will 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 Arlie der tings vat he buys, an' send 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? "Arlle," replied Von der Ahe, "you vas de one infernal dude in de pizness, I will 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 der man vot pays your salary. Arlle, you vas 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 Ionoble 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 upstairs to the ball had thrown their shawls. 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 Swore. An elder of the kikk, 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 doun 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', Jeanle. Here's a man swearing awfully."—"Reminiscences of Dean Ramsay." Hata as Alds 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. And allow me, a woman, to tell you solemn men whom I see sneering at the "frivolity" of my sex that often the cleverest among you chooses a wife for no better reason than that the woman thus selected has herself chosen a becoming hat!—Mimo, G. De Broutelles in Grand Magazine. *Seeking Belief.* Darky (boarding a train)—I heard 'bout youh wife dylin', Jim. Whar yo'gwine now? "Is off to join de Mormons. Hit keeps one woman hustlin' too much to support a heavy eatah lak me."—Life: To speak or write Nature did not peremptorily order thee; but to woe, she did—Carlyle. 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 Southern." 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 Klin Pan used to be considered by Europeans the oldest paper, but it has been issued a mere thousand years. The Tsing Pao, or Pekln 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 "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 Aflrica and the rare gadwilt of Ionla." But what were the two last mentioned vlands?—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 pittient 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 bandled is a curative agent, while recklessly handled it may kill." His Usual Way. The new waitress sidled up to a dapper young man at the breakfast table, who, after glancing at the bill, opened his mouth, and a noise issued forth that sounded like the ripping off of all of the cogs on one of the wheels in the power house. The new waitress made her escape to the kitchen. "Fellow out there insulted me," she said. The head waiter looked at him. "I'll get it," he said. "That's just the train caller ordering his breakfast."—Argonaut. Improved. "How do you like your alarm clock?" asked the jeweler. "First rate." "You didn't seem pleased with it at first." Warm.

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 Wei 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 mon. 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." Take one hour toough from the bread in the early morning, break three eggs, separating whites from yolks, whip both to a tight froth, mix into the dough and gradually add luke-warm water till the consistency of griddle cakes.

It was a mistake to set them free, untutored and helpless. There are many colored families who are living in crowded houses on small plots of and in towns or cities who want real freedom and real opportunity for themselves and for their children.

Will there be a fight between the Taft and Roosevelt forces in the selection of delegates to the convention? Has the_ad- -ministration strengthened _ itself by surrendering to the Democratic party and the Lily-whites south? 1s not the administration con- vinced that all the offices that have been given to Southern Democrats have not influenced the South in the least? Will President Taft, in the face of the crushing defeat his party received at the polls Nov. § and the rebuke the Stato of Ohio gave the President, continuo to thrust upon the Democratic rep- resentatives of the country offi- cial patronage? President ‘Taft said that ho was not after Democratié votes, but the good will of the Democratic party. Will the President say that the result of the election of Nov. 8 was the expression of the good will of the Democratic party? It is beheyed the Presi- dent wants to be fair and just, to all classes of citizens, irrespective of politics, but is the Democratic party appreciative? It doesn’t look to The Bee as if the efforts of the President are appreciated. If the Democratic party had any sense it would take advantage of its recent victories, The Tammany Democrats in New York are abused, but they certain- ly know how to get and retain the colored vote. The Southern Democrats will never learn any sense until they are wiped out of existence. ‘The present administration has given Southern Democrats every office! of any prominence; Lily-white Republicans yhave been encouraged to eliminate the colored Republi- cans from politics. Now there is a schemt to have every colored man in the railway mail service discharged, and after every col- ored employe in the railway mail seryice and postal service is dis- ee then it is said the places will be covered by the civil service. Under these conditions who is the man to lead the Republican party to victory in 1912? Who is ths manf that is the question. ‘The Republican National Convention must nominate a man acceptable} to the Northern colored voters. I£ such a man 1s not selected, and if the Democratic party exercises} wisdom, the colored ois will be a factor. The Northern Democrats do exercise better judgment than Southern: Democrats, and it is guite evident that the Northern Democrats appreciate the force of the colored vote. If the Democratic party should nominate Harmon, of Ohio, or Gaynor, of New York, or Foss, of Massachusetts, the colored vote would be divided. ‘The Bee is unaware of any Re publican who could unite the col- ored vote outside of Senator For- aker, of Ohio. The colored vote at this time is hopelessly divided. TWiern tc tha:moan® THE HORIZON _OF 1912. Seventy years ago Lincoln said: “I go for all sharing the privi- leges of gevernment who assist in bearing its burdens.” There are more than ten million colored men and women in this country, and all of them assist in bearing the burdens. In fact, the heaviest burden is upon them—hewing the wood and drawing tho water. And vet all those south of Mason and Dixon have but few of the privileges of government.

Oh, yes, you can hire a special, if you are a man of means, Else it’s one end of one front car crowded, packed in like sardines. While the lowest, dirtiest white folk ride the best cars everywhere, Yet you buy a first-class ticket, and you pay a first-class fare. They tell me that this country is the land where justice dwell: That all good folk go to heaven, and all bad folk go to h—: That the white folk are the models; that the black folk should imitate, If we'd imitate them fully our hearts would be filled with hate; And they say that love's the lever that pulls all mankind on high— If that’s true, why, then, most black | folk surely ought to reach the sky.

When a colored man in the South stops to reflect—those who obey laws in whose making they have no part, that race prejudice not only keeps pace with, but out-distances material and educational advance, they cannot me but exclaim: “How long, oh, how long, God of Jacob.” If we must obey the laws, we should have a part in their mak- ing.

The Repyblican party cannot succeed by throwing overboard the millions.of loyal colored voters simply to make room for a hand- ful of seasoned Democrats who, marshalled under the banner of “Lily-white Repubticans,” are merely foragers for office. The sooner the Republicans of the North get back to Lincoln’s gold- jen-hued philosophy, “all sharing thie privileges of government who assist in bearing its burdens,” the sooner will victory appear above the horizon of 1912. ‘The Negro is a Republican from choice and by tradition.

To-morrow evening there will be no concert. because the Elks have engaged the theater for that evening, in- tluding the Howard Orchestra. Whenever 2 first-class colored company makes its appearance in this country it will be shown at tho Howard Theater. ‘The gentle- man who stated to The Bee that no colored shows would appear at this theater has nothing to do with the booking of shows for the Howard.

The citizens of this city have long since come to the conclusion that Mr. Bruce onght to resign. The Bee is satis. fied that Congress will give the Board of Education a chance to request Mr. Bruce’s resignation. or it will abolish the office, The colored citizens would prefer te have the office; but if by holding on to the office means the longer retention of Mr. Bruce, they want the office abolished. Mr. Bruce has outlived his usefulness. _ The Board of Education is convinced of that fact, and the best thing that can be done is for the board to request his resignation: and if he refuses to tender it, then re nove "jim, The pcople will no‘ he satisfied unless he is remove? “nd another more accéptable t+ the schools and people is ap pointed.

Had a few days coming on my annual leave, and an extra dollar or two in |my pocket, so I thought I would take the leave coming. By the way, I saw the Lincoln-Howard game Thanksgiv. ‘ing. You know I am crazy on foot- ball, and would go a thousand miles to see a game, if I had the price. I saw the Army and Navy game also last Saturday. Quite a bunch went Jover from Washington to the Lincoln- j Howard game. I sort of felt for Dr Curtis. There he was a graduate from Lincoln, and on Howard's medical staff, trying to do the Kelly Miller act—be for two at the same time. Lin- coln was his old love, but Howard is his n¢éw wife. Every now and ther Doc. would root for Lincoln, and if he caught anyone observing him, he would come right back with a vocifer- lous applause for Howard. Couldn't lose him. as% Talking about Br. Curtis, reminds me of my first meeting him. It was soon after he came here as Surgeon- in-Chief at Freedmen's. When 1 ob- served his pompadoured hair, and his very pointed vandyke, that gave him a striking resemblance to his satanic majesty. [ said to myself: “He looks tog heilish-like to be good.” However, some time later 1 had to submit to a slight operation, and being short of funds, I got a lot of race loyalty in me, and went to Freedman’s and let |a colored physician carve the turkey. You know lots of us Hamites love to patronize our own color when we are broke. Well, the way Dr. Curtis han- dled my case, and the speed with which he brought me around, just as good as new, caused me to advertise him, and I have been touting him as the real cheese ever since, when it comes to human butchery. And I then concluded that if he did look sort of hellish-like he was certainly the candy kid when it came to removing gall- stones, gravel banks, appendixes and other ‘abnormal growths that have Latin names. Doe. is a capital fellow, too; full of the milk of human kind- ness, and a regular sunbeam in a sick chamber. Really it 1s no affliction to be sick if you have Dr. Curtis to at- tend you—he's so human and gentle. And he is coming, too. If you don’t believe it, just focus your star-gazers jon that brown dragon (I guess that’s what he calls it), in which he rushes Jat a mile a minute through the streets. ‘Tell you, he looks pretty hefty in’ that touring car, wearing his vandyke, a la the Duke de Allsport. However, al- though he touched me for a few dol- lars since he has been here for surgery work and medicine strong enough to grow heliotropes in lava beds hot from an erupting voleano, he has never yet taken me a joy ride in that auto of his. Maybe he thinks I will never need cutting again.

And, besides, 1 used to teach school, in my halycon days, way down behind the sun, and I know how L used to get it—damned if I did, and damned if I didn’t. However, I have heard some busybodies, expert gos- sipers, say that there is just a little too much intimacy between certain male teachers and high school girls. Of course, it is all innocent. These high school girls of ours look awfully sweet and bewitching, and you can’t blame the kid teachers much when they play Romeo'to their Juliet. Yet, you know, in these peerless times it's best to keep’ within the reserve limit, because people will talk, and do a lot of it. in this town.

When I heard this my mind ran back to years when Fred was messenger in the Treasury Department, and I thought, from a messenger to an editor of a great newspaper—what a long jump. Of course, Fred was never intended for an editor. God never had such a design when he created him, and maybe God don't know it yet, but it does seem as if some mtn can beat the plans of gods and devils. There is many an old Treasury employe who owes his job to this self same draft- ed editor, or conscripted literi, what- ever you call him. Fred, as a mes- senger, was a good one. As I recall, he served under Dan Manning when he was Secretary of the Treasury under Cleveland. ‘Those were regular days of the commune for many of the col- ored men about the Treasury. For 4 VS: ee ae RSS eS they permitted the doors of Quindaro to be slammed in his face, only to be thrown wide open to another A. M. E. chicken-fed prelate.

I have had about ‘steen introductions to him, yet he never seems jolly glad to meet me. Some say he is a cold-blooded, slow caleu- lating fellow who wouldn't blink at the sun. Others say he’s a warm-hearted fellow. He's as noiseless as 2 pair of rubber shoes, as persistent as 2 cow-puncher, and as open an enemy as ever fought at Austerlitz. He has accomplished a whole lot in the way ‘of promotions for the colored men here, and you never hear him going around blowing any B-flat cornets over what he has done or is about to do, Somehow or other, though. T can't catch the glow-worm of his warmth, To me he appears like 2 bunch of crystalized ice after st has been refrozen.

HOWARD DEFEATS LINCOLN. 2,000 on the Fiel undreds Left the City With the Howard Boys. Score, 5 to 0. Lincoln University. Newbury. Under fair skies on Lincoln's campus, from which one can look miles and miles away on beautiful countryside in Pennsylvania, the blue and white of Howard University triumphed for the first time on Thanksgiving Day, over its most worthy opponent on its home grounds, by a score of 5 to 0. Quite 2,000 devotees to the shrine of Howard or Lincoln traveled on special trains from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York to witness the annual duel between two of the most powerful institutions for colored students in the world. The battle was royal. Each man was chock full of grit and determination, and when pleading Howardites or Lincolnites from the side lines sent across the cry to hold every ounce of strength leaped forth. Ed Gray, of Howard, of All-American material, plunged once and broke his right fore arm. It was bandaged, but not until the plucky halfback found that he could not make effective tackle did he retire. Redd, of Lincoln, and Capt. Allen, of Howard, were badly hurt, but love for school made injuries slight. Terry, almost alone, brought the ball from Howard's 35-yard line to Lincoln's 30-yard line on a series of straight bucks off right tackle, where Darrah and Tyson blocked G. Bullock persistently, while Allen took care of Jacobs. Lincoln here shifted the backfield defense to cover this weakness, when Brice sent a fake through this spot, and diminitive Slaughter, like a bullet tearing around to the left, seized the ball, eluding Lincoln's right end, and sped across the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. On punt-out for try at goal, Smith touched the ball to the ground, and no try at goal was allowed. The second quarter found the ball on Lincoln's 35-yard line. Soon after the commencement of play and almost immediately after Gray's retirement, Lincoln waxed strong. Berd, of Lincoln, by magnificent generalship and goot punting, forced Howard back to her 40-yard line, when Thompson, center for Lincoln, was disqualified for roughness, and the penalty put Howard on the 35-yard line. During the third session Berd was responsible for all sorts of heartaches to Howard cohorts.

The quarter ended with the ball on Howard's 8-yard line. Coming back in the final quarter, with Lincoln on the 8-yard line, Howard's line held like a stone wall, while her backs got the men running behind the line. Terry now, favored with the wind, got the ball out of danger by good kicking. Not again was Lincoln effective enough to endanger Howard's goal. The game ended in Lincoln's territory.

Az Amusing Adventure In the Surf on the West Coast of Africa ‘Told by a Traveler, West Africa is known to all naviga- tors for its few harbors and Its heavy sort, which at certain scasons rages Uke a battle, defying the white, man who would approach its shores. The suthor of “The Jungle Folk of Africa,” Mr, R. H. Milligan, tells of a success- fol, and to the observers an amusing, effort to rench shore at a polnt where the surf did not sepm to be Impossible. One day when the beach scemed -tmuch better than usual the captain and the ship's surgeon ventured aShore. The captain afterward narrated the adventure of their landing to a small Dat enthusiastic audience, He sald that after waiting outside the surf half an hour the headman suddenly gave the order, and In a moment they were tm the breakers, riding oh the top of one of them and speeding toward the shore at the rate of “seventy miles an hoor.” . The captain was in the bow of the boat, well braced and cushloned. But when the boat struck the beach with the force of a rallway collision the doctor was thrown violently over two thwarts Into the captain's bosom, whom he clasped about the neck with & stecl-like grip. The next moment another breaker Picked the boat up abd hurled ft upon the beach; throwing both captain and doctor to a perfectly safe distance, where they sprawled upon the sand. The doctor, still bugging the captain's neck and very much frizhtened, ex- claimed: “Ob, captain, dear captain, ts there anybody killed but you and me?" BRAVE SOLDIERS.

In 1873 15,000 of the Zulus.attacked and killed a reziment of British sol- diers, 2nd a most herole deed was the attempt made by three Lritish sol- diers to save the two fags, or colors, belonging to the regiment. * When ft was seen that the Zulus were so many that there was no hope of keeping them at bay the colonel of the British regiment called to a young eficer whose name was Lieutenant Melrilt and said, “You will tako charge of the colors, Melvill, and try to get away from here.” The Heutenant saluted and took into his bands the two colors of his regl- ment. Then, with another officer and 8 soldier, all mounted on horses, be suddenly dashed away with bis pre- elous burden. ‘They were at once seen by the keen sighted Zulus, howerer, and after a long chare the three gallant Cuglish- men, fizhtIng to the last, were Killed by the enemy.

JUDGING A ‘CIGAR. The Only Real Way to Find Its Quality Is to Smoke It—Smelling It Ie Useless. On no polnt Is the average smoker 80 {1 informed as that of judging a cigar. Nine tlmes out of ten, upon being banded a cigar, he will hold it to bis nose, unlighted, sniff at the wrapper with a critical alr and deliver bis ver- dict In a self satisfied manner. This characteristic maneuver {s always a source of amusement to any tobacco man who bappens to observe It, There 1g only one way to ascertain the qual- ity of a cigar, and that ts to smoke it, No expert will pass judgment on & cigar until be has lighted {t and smoked {t well down toward the.mid- dle, The first and most important point upon which he bases bis opinion is the “burn.” Tobacco may have ev- ery other virtue, but if It does not; hold the fire and burn erenly It {s pocr to bacco, Next In order of Importance comes the froma—the smoke must have a pleasing “smell;" next comes the favor—the smoke must be smooth and not “scratchy” or bitter. Then there is the color—rich brown, indicat- ing a ripe leaf, well curcd—and last !s workmanship—good if the wrapper {s put on smoothly and the “bunch” {s made go that the elgar “draws” freely and fs neither too hard nor too spongy, bad if the reverse—Bohemian Maga: zine.

As we come to the middle ages, when the nattons of modern Europe were strusgling into existence, we find that at first the drum was not used at all. So, althouzh melody had been known and practiced for many cen- turles, rhythm had been quite forgot- ten, for what there ts left to us of the musie of the middle ages contains no bars, and we know that it was slowly and monotonously chanted, without the least accent. | In, the eleventh century, however, ‘things bezan to Improve, more partic- ularly as the crusaders brought Into Euroyfe all sorts of percussion instru- ments from the east.

One of two sisters who lived togeth- er was suddenly taken with a lung at- tack she feared was serious, says the London Telegraph. She therefore sent for « specialist and asked her doctor to meet him, Talking over hls coming with her sister, she sald: “Mona, I wish I could know Sir Henty B.'s real opinion.

NG SRP Wee Nera owe ow For Prehistoric Creatures. Mammoth miners are experts who know where to prospect for mam- moths and how to dig them out, even as the mining engineer knows where to prospect for silver and how to ex- tract it. In the west, In Alasks and in Sibe- ria mammoth miners are always at work.* They are always unearthing creatures that dled 100,000 years ago. Siberia was the mammoth's true home. Slberin 100,000 years ago was one luxuriant forest. Here, the fur covered beasts, with thelr ten foot trunks and their fifteen foot stature, swarmed. Then an earthquake re- moved a barrier range between SI- beria and the Arctic ocean, and those low lying forests were inundated. All their animal and vegetable life was killed. The first of the drowned Siberian mammoths was found in 1799 by an Eskimo villager on the banks, of the Lena. It was imbedded in a vast cake of fice, The villagers melted the ice, they feasted on the 100,000-year-old flesh, and then they sold the tusks. Only the bones remained when Zlo- tover of the Petersburg Imperial mu: seum reached that outlandish village after a journey of 7,500 miles. He took the bones back to the museum where you may see them mounted to day.

Nowadays a «an can do almost anything and get away with It, provided he ‘can arouse the sympathy of the special lady writ ers and pay the experts.

WANTED THEM SAVED. * Lincoln Stuck to His Selection wf « Hospital Chaplain Despite Religious Views, ‘The nomination of a Mr. Shrigtey ef Philadelphia, a Untversalist, for the position of chaplain for the hospital ‘was not met with favor on all sides, and a delegation of protestants went to Washington to see President Lin- coln on the subject, The following in- terriew was the result: “We have called, Mr. President, to confer with you regarding the appolnt- ment of Mr, Shrigley of Philadelphia as bospital chaplain.” “Ob, yes,” replied the president. “Z have sent his name to the senate, and he will no doubt be confirmed at mn early date.” | One of the young men replied, “We have not come to ask for the appoint ment, but to solicit you to withdraw the nomination.” “Ab,” sald Lincoln, “that alters the case. But on what grounds do you wish the nomination withdrawn?” The answer was, “Mr. Shricley & not sound in his theological opinions.” ‘The president inquired, “On what questions 1s the gentleman unsound?” “He dees not believe in endless pun- ishment. Not only so, sir, but he be Meves that even the rebels themselves will be finally saved,” was the reply. “Is that so?” inquired the president. The members of. the committee re- sponded, “Yes, sir.” “Well, gentlemen, if that fs so and there {s any way under heaven where- by the rebels can be saved, then, for God's sake and thelr sakes, let the man be appointed.” ‘Mr. Shrigley. was appointed and serv- ed until the end of the war—Boston Post. THE GREAT BOMBARDMENT. A Constant Rain of Missiles Upon the World's Atmosphere, The regions of space beyond our planet are filled with fying fragments. Some meet the earth in its onward ‘rush; others, having attained incon- ceivable velocity, overtake and crash into the whirling sphere with loud det- onation and ominous glare, finding de- struction in {ts molecular armor or Perhaps ricochetting from it agatn into the unknown. Some come singly, va- grant fragments from the infinity of space; others fall in showers, Ike gold- en rain, all constituting a bombard- ment appalling in {ts magnitude. It has been estimated that every twenty-four hours the earth or fts at- mosphere {s struck by 400,000,000 mis- siles of fron or stone, ranging from an ounce up to tons In weight. Every month there rush upon the flying globe at Teast 12,000,000,000 tron and stone fragments, which, with lurid accompa- niment, crash into the circumambfent atmosphere. Owing to the resistance offered by the air few of these solid shots strike the earth. They move out of space with a possible velocity of thirty or forty miles‘per second and, like moths. plunge into the revolving globe, lured to their destruction by its fatal attrao- tlon, The moment they enter our at- mosphere they frnite, and the air !s piled up and compressed ahead of them with {nconcelrable force, the resultant friction producing an immediate rise in temperature, and the shooting star, the meteor of popular parlance, {a the re- ‘enlts A Subtle Hint.
