Washington Bee

Guest of Honor at Banquet Tendered by Citizens CHARLESTON , W. VA. HONORS Washington Jurist Royally Entertained by Citizens and Makes Brilliant Response to Compliments Paid Him From the Charleston, W. Va., Leader, Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court, of the District of Columbia, was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered him by the leading citizens of Charleston last Thursday evening and was most royally entertained. Judge Terrell was invited to the city to deliver an address at the Emancipation Day celebration which took place in this city on the 22d inst., at the beautiful Edgewood Park. It has been sometime since such a celebration has taken place in this city and Kanawah Lodge No. 130, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World was determined to make it a grand affair and brought Judge Terrell here as the attraction, as the jurist is well known here and his work for the race highly appreciated by the citizens of Charleston and the State of West Virginia. A number of the leading citizens being aware of the coming of Judge Terrell for the celebration, thought it an excellent time to show him how JUSTICE ROBERT H. TERRELL. he was esteemed by the race in this city and therefore went to work to entertain him on Thursday evening prior to the celebration. This they did in a most royal way and feel glad that they did so as they had the pleasure of meeting the distinguished guest in person and found him to be, indeed, one of the real leaders of the race. Few men have come to this city who have impressed the citizens as did Judge Terrell. There was a complete absence of the "ego" and he proved to be one of the most congenial and well met fellows ever entertained in this city and made a personal friend of every citizen he met. A very excellent menu and entertaining program had been prepared for the occasion by Mr. J. C. Gilmer, State Librarian, and Mr. W. O. Terry, proprietor of one of the largest drug stores owned by Negroes in the country. The eloquent Phil Waters was toast master and proved to be the master of the situation and his eloquent periods in the introduction of the various speakers have never been surpassed in the history of Charleston, and gave an edge and spice to the occasion that did not permit a moment's luff during the festive occasion. "West Virginia Negroes in the Professions" was very ably responded to by Dr. R. L. Jones, one of Charleston's leading physicians. "Independence in Politics" was responded to by Mr. Allen Dohneyn, the leader of the Negro Democracy, of Kanawha County, and he discussed his subject in a most intelligent manner and gave some very excellent reasons why the Negro should exercise more independence in the use of his ballot. "The Business Negro" was responded to by Prof. C. H. Mitchell, of the West Virginia Colored Institute. Jollification at Communion Editor of The Bee: I fancy I am standing before a vast audience made up entirely of preachers—sometimes called ministers of the gospel. And while standing here I shall endeavor to throw out a few gospel thunder bolts among them in order that they might see themselves as others see them. There is much talk of reform in politics, society, and in many other things. But we know of nothing on this mundane sphere which needs be reformed more so than the Negro pulpit. Save by his dress it is getting to be a very hard thing to tell a preacher from a professional, everyday sport. It is no uncommon thing to hear of Rev. so and so drinking whiskey and playing a social game of cards. Relative to these facts, I can not go upon the stand and swear. But one thing I do know is, that, to the everlasting shame and disgrace to the cloth, it is a very common THE BEE WASHINGTON thing to see some of our colored ministers strutting on the streets in Washington puffing a cheap cigar or cigarette, leaving such a streak of smoke behind them one would think that an automobile or a fire engine had just passed by. These things are unbecoming to ministers of the gospel; but it will go on so long as the members of the church feel disposed to stand for it. They do not only disgrace themselves but their brazen acts have a tendency to lower the dignity of the Church of God. A few Sundays ago I saw a great crowd of people coming out of one of the prominent churches here; and I asked one of the members what kind of services had been going on in the church. He informed me that it was communion services. I stood and looked on to see so many happy looking souls leaving the house of the Lord after having celebrated the death and suffering of our Lord and Saviour. But by and by we looked and beheld yonder the minister or the shepherd of the flock, coming up the street smoking a cigar! The thought came to me: Oh! what little did the commemoration of the blood and broken body of the Lowly Nazarene have upon that fellow. He seems to care no more about it than if he had just attended a funeral of some one in the lowest walks of life. So you can see, dear readers of The Bee, that a reform is badly needed in the colored pulpits in Washington. No wonder they should tell their hearers not to do as they do—but do what they say do. For if you follow in the foot steps of some of the sporting preachers in this city you will be lost—lost to all eternity! There is no class of sinners that needs a sermon beached to them (like a serious secret societies) annually more so than the colored ministers of Washington. And, while I know it will be a waste of time to pass around the basket when I finish my sermon, I believe I feel called upon to take the job. This is Sermon No. 1 I haven't anything in my heart against a single preacher in Washington. What I've said—and intend saying—relative to a reform needed in the colored pulpit, I say it hoping to God it may bear fruit for good. This smoking business in public among our colored ministers should cease! I haven't called any name, but I hope that the Rev. Pastors of Miles C, M. E, Church and Mount Airy Baptist Church, are constant readers of The Bee. And now, if he is not too full of beer, Brother Sage of the Potomac will please lead us in prayer. J. C. CUNNINGHAM. Looks Well and Hearty. Judge Alexander Mullowney, of the Police Court, who has been ill for several months, has returned to the bench, greatly improved in health, and seemingly himself again. It has been some time since he has been in court, owing to the severe illness that overtook him some time ago, and kept him to his bed for a long time. His many friends were glad to welcome his return to the court. JOHN LEWIS SMITH, ESO.. Appointed Assistant United States Attorney—Successful Lawyer. John Lewis Smith, Esq., who was recently appointed assistant United States Attorney, is among the youngest members of the bar. Mr. Smith is not only a successful practitioner, but a man of ability. As a prosecutor, Mr. Smith will no doubt make a success. His father, the late John H. Smith, he lived, would have no doubt been United States Attorney. He came within an ace of being appointed by the late President, Wm McKeeley. Mr. Wilson has made several good appointments of young members of the bar in his office, who were very popular. Mr. Smith is a genial and JOHN LEWIS SMITH, ESQ. New Assistant U. S. Attorney. conscientious young man, and as a prosecutor The Bee is confident that he will resort to no tricks to convict an unfortunate. Many a man has gone into the United States Attorney's office, and when he comes out, he has not only the dislike of his enemies, but of his friends. A man can be an honest prosecutor and retain the respect and confidence of the people. Such a man, The Bee believes, that Mr. Smith will make. He comes from great Virginia stock. His uncle, John Ambler Smith, was a brave Virginian as well as his father. It is PENNSYLVANIA COATESVILLE ! FUN-NY I DON'T SEE NOTHIN TO BAFF AT POPPY-COCK OR THE SAME OLD JURY WELL INVITATE THE MATTER QUOTH THE CROW REPRENENTATIVE OF THE LOADED CITY. WAITING FOR AN ANS. WITH BB F. M. GOMEN said this young man inherits a great deal of his uncle's fighting blood, but you would not believe it unless you placed a match to the oil that he carries in his brain. The Bee congratulates Mr. Wilson, who has a desire and determination to appoint honorable and upright men in his office. NAPOLEON MARSHALL Would Not Refuse the Assistant Superintendency of the Washington Schools. NEW YORK, Oct. 3—Napoleon Marshall, who is "sojowiring" here is not aversed to accepting the position of Assistant Superintendent of the Washington public schools. In discussing the names suggested as successor to Roscoe Bruce, in the event the colored members of the board succeeded in having him dropped, Mr. Marshall, a la William Jennings Bryan, picked flaws in the availability of every person suggested. But when it was suggested that he would make a good man, he smiled an admission, but said that he was too modest to press his own candidacy, but that his friends thought he would be the proper man, and intimated he would be willing to rest his prospects in the hands of his friends. As to what per cent of the Washington parents are his "friends" for so important a position, deponent sayeth not. THE BEE WINS! The Washington Bee, in its suit against the Howard Theater, otherwise the National Amusement Company, Roger Flint, manager, was rendered judgment for $61,50 and costs last Saturday, Oliver Randolph and Oce Taylor, the two after-office hours editors, to the contrary notwithstanding. The Bee would suggest to these two young men to attend to their office duties, and when they report a law suit report the truth. COLORED MINISTERS ELECT. Interdenominational Meeting Selects Officers for the Year. Rev, J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, was elected president of the Interdenominational Ministers' Meeting at the first fall meeting of the organization Tuesday in Lincoln Temple, 11th and R Streets Northwest. The organization, which is composed of colored ministers of the city, also chose the following other officers; Rev, T. J. Brown, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, vice president; Rev, A. C. Garner, Plymouth Congregational Church, secretary; Rev, D. E. Wiseman, Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran), treasurer. The program was also made up of Rev, J. C. Van Loo, vicar of St. Monica's Episcopal Chapel; Rev, R. K. Harris, Israel Methodist Episcopal Church, and Rev, S. N. Brown, Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. Announcement was made that at the meeting to be held Monday, Rev, Foster, pastor of the People's Congregational Church, will lead a discussion on the work accomplished by the various pastors during the past summer. REV. WILLIS WINS In Equity Court, before Justice Clabaugh, Monday morning, the case of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church was heard. Attorney T. L. Jones and the firm of Ralston & Siddons appeared for Rev. Willis and the church, and Attorney A. S. Worthington, A. A. Birney and S. W. Woodward, appeared for Winslow and others. The object of the hearing was to have the court compel the clerk of the church, Geo. A. Tinus, to surrender A BLOT ON THE CONSTITUTION. O! See How Justice Laughs. all the church records to the other side, to be copied, especially the roll of membership. It was argued by Messrs. Worthington and his associates that they had a right to copy the records, etc., but Attorney Jones argued for his associates, following Mr. Worthington. At the conclusion of Mr. Jones' argument, the court refused to disturb the previous order signed by Justice Gould, which permitted them to inspect the records and not copy them. WALKER'S ADDRESS The Geniat Principal Gives Good Advice to the Teachers. An urgent appeal to principals and teachers to impress upon their pupils the spirit of fair play in the public schools formed the basis of the address of Supervising Principal James E. Walker, president of the Public Schools' Athletic League, at the annual meeting of that body at the M Street High School a few days ago. "The one great thing I want to bring to your attention is the subject of competition," said the speaker. "If the spirit of fair play is lacking, I would say not to have competitions. Competitions under such circumstances are at too great a sacrifice, and our object is not to develop a few but to reach every boy and girl of the schools. Everybody likes to win. But when you want to know the heart and manhood of a person or a child, watch him after a defeat. And if this defeated child or this defeated man takes his defeat properly, you are bound to have in him a winner some day. I would admonish you, therefore, to impress upon your children in their games the great lesson of fair play. And remember that 'victory is no great matter and defeat is less; the essential thing in sport is the manly striving to excel and the good feeling it fosters between those who play fair and have no excuses when they lose." E. B. Henderson, secretary of the league, submitted his report and urged the members to encourage games within the school between classes rather than between classes of different schools. Another new feature which the secretary expects to introduce is the matter of athletic badge competition. The election of officers resulted in the following selection: President, J. E. Walker, re-elected; vice president, Miss E. A. Chase; secretary, E. B. Henderson, re-elected; treasurer, Miss A. E. Thompson. The following were elected to the executive board: Miss M. E. Gibbs, A. P. Lewis, A. K. Savoy, G. B. Key and H. G. Douglas. National Training School Gets Premium. The Appalachian Exposition, a mammoth representation of Southern progress, held annually at Knoxville, Tenn., has just closed. The exposition is the work of the best white men and women of the South. This year they extended an invitation to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, to deliver a special address, and so anxious were they that she attend, that they had their special representative at Pittsburg, Pa., to insist upon her coming. Miss Burroughs had to decline because she is now in the midst of the erection of a new building at Lincoln Heights, and had to be on the grounds to arrange for the details of the work, under construction. She was also asked to send an exhibition of the work done by the school; she complied with this request, and the good news comes that the institution received one of the best premiums offered for fine work. We may say what we will about merit and prejudice, but the individuals who do the best work will be given the prize, even by Southern white judges. The Training School is in its infancy, but we are sure of the quality of the work done in the Sewing and Fine Art Department, when the school is able to satisfy the management of the Appalachian Exposition. STUDENTS ADDRESSED. Dr. Davidson and Mr. Bruce Speak at Howard University—Great Applause. Supt. William M. Davidson and Asst. Supt. Roscoe C. Bruce, both officials of the public schools of the District of Columbia, addressed the students of Howard University in the formal opening service in the chapel of the University Monday morning. The presence of both officials was the signal for prolonged applause from the students, and Dr. Thirkield, president of Howard University. Especially significant were the remarks of Dr. Thirkield, who gave to Mr. Bruce full credit for the excellent preparation of the public school students who have entered the University in the past few years. Directed to High Ideals Dr. Davidson's speech was one framed to uplift the student mind to high ideals of culture and achievement, and he had a special message for the students who are planning to go into the work of teaching. Looking at one of the big memorial windows of the chapel, the design of which is of a well-idealistic painting of Sir Galahad, Dr. Davidson said: Tradition of Achievement Mr. Bruce's talk was principally along the line of achievement. He said in part: "The continuity of the race, of which you and I are members, depends on a tradition of achievement. Our best men should give their best endeavors to do great things, and it would be well to study the great families of this country who have had man after man do great things, simply because of a tradition of achieve- DR THIRKIELD. "Every student should get a proper conception of culture. The old idea that culture was confined to the individual making the effort has now grown to include the identity of culture which can be expressed only in terms of service to the State." Durham Schools Next week's Bee will contain a few cuts of the buildings and grounds of the great National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., Dr. James E. Shepard, president. Look on for it. (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) The first lady professor in Germany will be Mille, Gertrude J. Wockler, Ph. D. She has been appointed assistant professor of physic at Leipzig University. Mille, Wockler is a Swiss, thirty-three years of age, and will be the youngest professor in the only Saxon University. Among the colored men in the diplomatic service are Ministers to Haiti and Liberia, three consuls in South America and two in France. John M. Bright, ninety-four years of age, the oldest lawyer in Tennessee, died this week at his home near Fayetteville. He was inspector general of Tennessee during the civil war, and a member of Congress from 1871 to 1879. The first Negro school in Missouri was founded in Kansas City by J. Milton Turner, in 1868. Inaugurating a crusade against violations of the Sunday laws at resorts and roadhouses near Baltimore has begun. Already the proprietors of five such places have been presented to the grand jury of Baltimore County for action. The Sacs and Foxes, of the Mississippi tribe of Indians in Iowa and Oklahoma will receive their full pro rata share of the $1,020,000 trust fund now in the Treasury to their credit, as soon as they assume citizenship. H. Pauleis Sannon, the retiring Minister, called at the State Department Tuesday to say farewell to Acting Secretary Adee. He sailed from New York Thursday, with Mrs. Sannon for Havre. He expects to spend five months in Paris before returning to Haiti. Recommendation for the conversion of Goat Alley, Hughes Court and many other places into interior parks are contained in the annual report of the board for the condemnation of insanity buildings. Last year 187 insanity houses were demolished, 145 were in streets, 42 in alleys. Also 698 tenants were forced to seek other quarters, of this number 555 were colored and 52 were whites. Andrew Carnegie's offer of $750,000 to found a hero fund for Italy has been accepted by the King. A committee to administer the fund has been appointed. Mrs. Della Torrey, aunt of President Taft, quietly celebrated her 86th birthday in Waterbury, Conn. Mrs. Belle M. Fowler has been appointed food inspector at Spokane, Wash. It is her business to visit cafes, bakeries and candy kitchens to see that they are kept in a sanitary condition. She received the appointment because of her reputation as a faultless housekeeper in her own home. Mattie E. Lomax, who was sentenced to be hanged November 20 for killing her husband, last December, is said to be a victim of tuberculosis, so death may rob the gallows of a victim. The services of more than 9,000 Americans and Filipino teachers employed in the various schools of the islands' of the Philippines, and last year there were over 500,000 boys and girls who received instruction from the schools. Nearly 700 cases of cruelty to animals were reported to the police last year. Six animal drinking fountains were installed last year and 3,417 animals were inspected. The development of Latham Park along the old York Road, and the destruction of the old Lucretia Mott residence removes every trace of what was once an underground station during the civil war. The Grand Army veterans have a marker or a tablet placed on or near the site where the old Mott house stood. Mrs. John Barnhill, of Truro, N. S., recently celebrated her one hundred and tenth birthday. Her father died just one day short of his one hundredth birthday. The crusade against unclean grocers resulted in three prosecutions. Ninety three families were inspected in Virginia, Maryland and the District, and 1,558 cattle inspected; 8,925 cantaloupes were found unfit for food; 822 eggs and 600 pounds of fish. Reports from the Board of Education show that more than 4,000 students entered the night schools of the city, which opened this week. Nearly half of this number were colored students. BETHEL LITERARY Dr. DuBois Greeted With a Larg Crowd. The reception that was given Dr. DuBois at the Bethel Literary last Tuesday evening was of a representative character. He was at his best, and his address was polished, concise and eloquent. He asked the Bethel Literary what it was doing. That it was about time to discuss something else other than the Negro question alone. The only way to help the race was through religious teachings. In Maryland. Attorney M. T. Clinkscales went to Maryland to try a case this week. . SEXTET FROM LUCIA. Sung by Mme. SEMBRICH at the Metropolitan Opera House New York. Arr. by C. BOHM.

FIRST POST HOUSES Established by Cyrus, the Founder of the Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have originated in the regular couriers established by Cyrus the Great about 800 B.C. who erected post houses throughout the kingdom of Persia. Anguines was the first to introduce this institution among the Romans, XI B.C., and he was initiated by Charlemagne about 800 A.D. Louis XI was the first sovereign to establish post houses in France, owing to his eagerness for news, and they were also the first institution of this nature in Europe. He was in 1470, or about 2,000 years after they were started in Persia. In England in the reign of Edward W. (1621) riders on post horses went singer of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I. in 1631 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and come back 'again in six days.' A BRILLIANT FOP. The Youthful Disraeli, Elegant and Eloquent. AN INTELLECTUAL EXQUISITE. His Airs and Graces, His Frills and Laces and His Dazzling Oratory In His Early Political Battles—A Pen Picture of His Remarkable Face. Benjamin Disraell's career in practical politics began with a series of reverses that might have discouraged a less persistent fighter. Five times the youthful novelist and versatile budding statesman attempted to break into parliament before he succeeded in winning an election, going down to defeat three times at Wycombe and once at Taunton. In William Flayvelle Monypenny's "Life of Benjamin Disraell," the author declares that tales are still told in Wycombe of Disraell's famous first speech from the portico of the Red Lion: "The youthful orator was now at the height of his dandyism, and his 'curls and ruffles' played no small part in the election. Standing on the top of the porch beside the figure of the lion, with his pale face set off by masses of jet black hair and his person plenely adorned with lace and cambric, he must have seemed to the spectators better fitted for his role of fashionable novelist than for that of strenuous politician. Great, then, was their surprise when this 'poplaj,' as a hostile newspaper called him, began to pour forth a torrent of eloquence with tremendous energy of action and in a voice that carried far along the High street. He had an instinct for the dramatic effects which hold the attention of the mob. 'When the poll is declared I shall be there,' he exclaimed, according to a Wycombe tradition, pointing to the head of the lion, 'and my opponent will be there,' pointing to the tail. By the admission even of the opposite party the speech was a complete success, and his popularity with the crowd was thenceforth assured." As to the young orator's appearance at Taunton, Mr. Monypenny gathers these comments of an eyewitness from an almost forgotten book of that time: "Never in my life had I been so struck by a face as I was by that of Disraell. It was vividly pale, and from beneath two finely arched eyebrows blazed out a pair of intensely black eyes. I never have seen such orbs in mortal sockets either before or since. His physiognomy was strictly Jewish. Over a broad, high forehead were ringlets of coal black, glossy hair, which, combed away from his right temple, fell in luxuriant clusters or bunches over his left cheek and ear, which it entirely concealed from view. "There was a sort of half smile, half sneer playing about his beautifully formed mouth, the upper lip of which was curved as we see it in the portraits of Byron. He was very showily attired in a dark bottle green frock coat, a waistcoat of the most extravagant pattern, the front of which was almost covered with glittering chains, and in fancy pattern pantaloons. He wore a plain black stock, but no collar was visible. Altogether he was the most intellectual looking exquisite I had ever seen. "He commenced in a lapling, lackadalsical tone of voice. He minced his phrases in apparently the most affected manner and while he was speaking placed his hands in all imaginable positions, not because he felt awkward and did not know, like a booby in a drawing room, where to put them, but apparently for the purpose of exhibiting to the best advantage the glittering rings which decked his white and taper fingers. Now he would place his thumbs in the armholes of his wristcoat and spread out his fingers on its flashing surface; then one set of digits would be released and he would lean affectedly on the table, supporting himself with his right hand; anon he would push aside the curls from his forehead. "But as he proceeded all traces of dandylism and affectation were lost. With a rapidity of utterance perfectly astonishing he referred to past events and indulged in anticipations of the future. The Whigs were, of course, the objects of his unsparing satire, and his eloquent denunciations of them were applauded to the echo. In all he said he proved himself to be the finished orator. Every period was rounded with the utmost elegance, and in his most during flights, when one trembled lest he should fall from the giddy height to which he had attained, he so gracefully descended that every hearer was wrapped in admiring surprise. His voice, at first so finical, gradually became full, musical and sonorous and with every varying sentiment was beautifully modulated. His arms no longer appeared to be exhibited for show, but he exemplified the eloquence of the hand. The dandy was transformed into the man of mind, the Mantalini looking personage into a practiced orator and finished eloctonist." Her Declaration: "Have you anything to declare?" asked the customs inspector. "Yes," replied the lady who was returning from Europe. "I unhesitatingly declare that it is an outrage the way this government permits things to be mussed up in one's trunk."—Chicago Record-Herald.

African Explorer Witnessed the Killing of the Big Cat by a Troop of Baboons. A vivid pen picture of a fight between a leopard and a troop of baboons is given in a German paper by P. Bitter, a sportsman and explorer in German West Africa. Leopards have a particular liking for baboon flesh, which is often used as bait to trap them. "One afternoon," the hunter relates, "I was resting on the shady side of a big rock which formed the bank of a small stream. On the opposite side a troop of baboons came down chattering toward the water, a large male going cautiously in front, glancing and scenting around for danger. I remained immobile. "A deep grunt assured the herd that all was well, and down the steep slope they came, last of all a female with two young, which the mother tenderly helped over the rough places. Suddenly a big leopard shot out from behind a bowler and with one blow of his paw grabbed one of the young. "The mother, with a roar of fury, threw herself upon the big cat. The others halted and with one accord clambered back to her assistance. The leopard had just settled the female and was about to make off with his prey when he found himself surrounded by the whole horde, which closed in upon him. "He gave as good as he got, and two big baboons rolled down the slope apparently done for, but numbers told, and he was literally torn to pieces. It was a horribly fascinating sight, and I never regretted more having no camera with me than I did then." THEY DIDN'T FIGHT. It Was Only a Little Friendly Discussion That Excited Them. Two Spanishs were conversing earnestly, then excited, at last angrily. The young American woman who passed them looked with frightened eyes toward her Spanish guide. "What are they talking about, Senor Jose? she asked timidly. "Do you think they will fight-or maybe kill?" "Ah, no, Senorita Marie," replied Jose, smiling and showing his pretty teeth. "One man—that one, you see, senorita, with the long mustachios—he is saying, 'Me, I prefer much the collaire button which is steel,' and the other one—look, senorita—he is running his fingers through his hair now and his sombrero has a gold cord—he is saying, 'Ah, no, senor, the button which is of gold—sl, senor, that is the button for me.' "But as for myself, senorita, the bone collaire button—that I prefer above all the others. "Do I not speak with good sense, senorita? Listen. If the button is of steel it will cut, if it is of gold one cannot afford to lose it, but if it is of bone it does not cut, and if it goes what matter? I have a dozen at home in my little top drawer." "You speak with great good sense, Don Jose, but tell me—were the men really angry?" "Oh, not at all, senorita. It is only our southern way of being interested in what we discuss. If it had been two Germans, senorita, or maybe two Englishman, you would never have noticed them."-Philadelphia Ledger. Then They Talked In English. A couple of Cleveland business men visited Mexico. In Mexico City their train was switched from one station to another. One of the Clevelanders went to the first station to make inquiries. Approaching a pair of dark visaged employees, he cudged his memory for the proper words from the phrase book. "Donde esta?" he hesitatingly asked and paused. The two dark visaged persons listened attentively. "Gracias," stammered the Cleveland man. "Donde estan?" Then one of the men looked at the other. "Say, Bill," he growled, "what in merry blue blazes is this fellow talkin' about?" And after that it was easy.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Donkey's Choice. The vexed question of the future life of animals has troubled the Mohammedan, as it has other religions. The question, it seems, was considered by Allah a long time ago, and all the animals were asked if they wished to enter paradise. They at once said yes, except the donkeys. These were cautious and asked if little boys went to heaven. The answer being yes, they replied, "In that case we prefer to go to—the other place." S. H. Leeder vonches for the fable in "The Desert Gateway." Friendship. There are three friendships which are advantageous and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright, friendship with the sincere and friendship with the man of much information—these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious air, friendship with the iniminatingly soft, friendship with the gibb tongued—these are injurious. Confucius.

You Would Make Them Yourself if You Knew How Easy It Is—Here Are the Directions. Many a man says that he would be glad to do chores about the house, to trim the grass or weed the garden if he had overalls. The trouble is that when he wishes to wear overalls the stores are closed and he cannot buy them. I wonder that men do not make them for themselves. To provide a pattern you must have an outline or perspective plan of your contour from the belt line down to the ankles. This may be obtained by sitting in wet clay and, on arising, pouring plaster of Paris in the impression. When this hardens lift the mold, lean it against the wall and obtain measurements with a tapeline. Another way is to dust talcum powder on the carpet until it is thickly coated. Then sit down on the talcum powder and carpet, thus removing the talcum from the floor where you have been. Then cut around the outlines of that impression with a sharp knife, remove the carpet so detached, and you have a pattern for one side of the overall: Purchase several yards of denim and cut it into the shape indicated by either pattern you have now obtained. Make two sets of these pieces and sew them edge to edge. Pockets may be made by cutting slits in the material and sewing empty salt sacks.—Wilbur D. Nesbit in Dellnerate. ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Their Use on an Important Scale Dates From 1876. The first experimental philosopher to discover that electric light could be produced by a dry battery was Sir Humphry Davy, who in 1810 exhibited a light three inches long, between carbon points, before the Royal society of London. But no commercial value was attached to the use of electricity as an illuminant until more than half a century later. The Centennial exhibition, held in Philadelphia in 1870, really marks the era of our present form of electric light, though electric lights had been in use abroad prior to that time. The exhibition of models and practical demonstrations of electric lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted the attention of scientists and capitalists in this country, and the first incandescent lamps and the first arc system were put to practical use in a small way in 1878. The Brush are light gained favor in the beginning as the most adaptable for street lighting, and Cleveland, O., the home of Charles Francis Brush, the inventor, was the initial American city to adopt the arc system for street lighting. Since 1878 both the Brush arc system and the Edison incandescent system have developed.-Marc M. Reynolds in Moody's Magazine. Halcyon Days. "Alcyone, or Halcyone, the daughter of Aeolus, married Ceyx," said the Latin professor. "Ceyx was drowned, and Alcyone on learning of his fate threw herself into the sea. The gods were moved by the tragedy of the young lovers. They brought them back to life in the form of halcyons, or kingfishers, and they decreed that for the seven days from Dec. 22 to Dec. 29 the sea should remain calm while the sea birds built their neets upon it. Those seven days, the last of the year, are therefore called halcyon days—days of tranquillity, a kind of very late Indian summer. Here in America we have no real halcyon days, but the myth of Alcyone and Ceyx comes from the Mediterranean, and in that blue and gold region it is a fact that the year is ushered out by a procession of still, mild, splendid days—silent and glittering days of halcyon weather."—Washington Post. Lifting a Child "I wish." said the woman who has children of her own, "that women would understand the delicate mechanism of a child. How would they like a giant to come along and suddenly drag them from the ground by one arm, as I have seen so many people do to children? When you're lifting a child lift it evenly by both arms or from the waist. Don't yank it up by a grab at one wrist and then wonder why it cries. It makes me so angry I always want to pull the arm of that inconsiderate woman hard and see if she wouldn't cry too. It's a thing that mothers and aunts and sisters ought to learn."—Philadelphia Times.

CADETS MAIMED AND KILLED The Most Dangerous Punishment Meted Out to Erring Freshmen Is "the Gantlet of Fire," and the Most Repulsive is "Bacon Swallowing." Germany is, of all countries, the one in which the science of hazing in military schools has attained the greatest development. The army plays in the fatherland's life a part the importance of which can hardly be realized by an untraveled American. Military service is compulsory, and in time of peace 600,000 men are kept armed, uniformed and drilled. To command that huge contingent 80,000 commissioned officers are necessary. This large officer corps has developed customs, ethics, even a morality, of its own. These customs and ethics are imitated at an early age by the boy who aspires to enjoy the veneration which German officers generally receive from the populace. Initiation in a young man usually means exaggeration, and some of the little military snobs are on their first day at school a joy to behold. Very soon, however, the precocious stiffness is tucked out of them. A harmless though repulsive form of hazing cadets whose appetite verges on gluttony is called "bacon swallowing." The plebes to be vletimized are lined up on the grounds surrounded by a group of second year men. A slice of raw bacon is tied to a piece of string, and the plebe whose name is drawn first is made to swallow the unappetizing morsel. When the slickening sensation of the twine tickling his throat threatens to nauseate him the bacon is pulled out. The name of another unfortunate is drawn, and he is in turn obliged to swallow the bacon, the appearance of which has not been improved by the first man's chewing. On it goes along the line to the next man and up to the last one, and for days and days the sight of bacon, a stale article in German cuisine, will, if it does not spoil the healthy youngsters' appetites, at least remind them that undue haste in assimilating food lacks refinement. After a few hours spent in "frog's squat" the most dignified and snobish plièbes assume the good natured and perfectly chummy attitude which means that they have been tamed. Swelled heads are quickly noted and their owners made to sit on the floor with their chins resting on their knees, and their ankles and wrists are bound together. A solid stick passed under the knee joints and forcing the forearm buck prevents them from moving arms or legs, and they are left there facing one another in an unnatural, cramped and ridiculous position. Other forms of hazing are the stomach dance, with or without obstacles: finding the keyhole, tossing in a blanket and star gazing. In the stomach dance the cadet is put flat on his stomach on a high table and four tormenters take him by the hands and feet and whirl him around on the table. In the case of serious offenses a few hard objects or "obstacles" are scattered over the table, making the "dance" rather painful. Then comes finding the keyhole. The cadet stands in front of a locker and is blindfolded. He has to feel for the keyhole with his forefinger. Then another cadet places his head between the locker and the finger, opens his mouth and bites the finger till its owner howls. Star gazing consists in being made to watch the stars at night through a coat sleeve held like a telescope by two cadets. A third cadet then pours a glass of muddy water in at top of the sleeve. When a cadet is guilty of behavior unbecoming to a gentleman, disgraces his class by some breach of etiquette or commits some petty theft he is generally sentenced by the "holy vehm," or "court of honor," to the rod. The penalty is applied ruthlessly, a gag being placed in the punished man's mouth to stifle his cries for help. Of all the forms of hazing the most brutal perhaps is the "gantlet of fire." The freshman upon whom that punishment is to be visited is kept in a dark room astride a wooden chair, to which he is securely fastened. In the next room his tormentors are twisting newspapers into imitation torches, which at a given signal they light with matches. When the torches are burning brightly they form themselves in two lines; another signal is sounded, the door of the dark room is thrown open, and the freshman is ordered to ride between the lines, while he is mercilessly lashed with flaming brands. However quickly he may run the gantlet, by the time he has reached the end of the blazing pathway his hair, his eyebrows and lashes have been singed to the skin, his eyelids are seared and swollen, his lips blistered, his uniform hopelessly damaged. One of the surgeons in attendance covers up the sores with bandages and sends the slugged plebe to the infirmary for a couple of days. The official report mentions the explosion of an alcohol lamp or some other accident of like nature. Not infrequently those "boyish pranks" have a tragic ending. More than once cadets have been crippled for life, and there are two cases on record where death was the direct result of horseplay carried too far—New York Tribune. HE PUNISHED GRANT. How the Tyrant Riding Master Punished Him For "Dismounting Without Leave." While a student at West Point U. S. Grant excelled in mathematics and horsemanship. He jumped his horse over a bar five feet six inches high, which made a record for the academy and a close second to the highest jump ever recorded in America. He received little honor for some of his efforts, however, notably in the case recalled by Nicholas Smith in "Grant, the Man of Mystery." But perhaps the humor of it reconciled him. The riding master was one Hernhberger, "an amusing sort of tyrant," and on one occasion, whether seriously or as a joke, he determined to "take down" the young cadet. At the exercise Grant was mounted on a powerful but vicious brute that the cadets fought shy of and was put at leaping the bar. The bar was placed higher and higher as he came round the ring till it passed the record. The stubborn rider would not say "enough," but the horse was disposed to shy and refuse to make tile leap. Grant gritted his teeth and spurred at it, but just as the horse gathered for the spring his swelling body burst the girth, and the rider and saddle tumbled into the ring. Half stunned, Grant gathered himself up from the dust only to hear the "strident, cynical voice" of Hershberger calling out: "Cadet Grant, six demerits for dismounting without leave!" BEAT HIM TO THE STATION. The Message That Got There Before the Patrolman Did. "When I was a patrolman," says a prominent detective, "there used to be a sergeant on the force who had it in for me. He reported me for various delinquencies, and—well, he's dead now, and I won't say anything against him. He got sick, and it was reported at the station that he wasn't expected to live. So the boss called me and told me, to go around and see if I could do anything for the old fellow. I called at the house and asked if I could see him. They let me in. I tipped into the room where the sergeant was in bed and said, 'The lieutenant sent me around to see how you were getting along.' "He spoke with difficulty, but I could make out what he said, 'Go back,' he grunted, 'and tell 'em, that I'm getting along fine. The boys have fixed me up all right, and I don't need anything. I'm feeling better." "So I went back to the station. I was stopped a couple of times on my way and got in about half an hour later. Then I made my report. 'He says he's better and doesn't need anything,' says I. The lieutenant jumped up. 'Do you mean to say that you saw him?' says he. 'I did,' says I. 'And he told you he was all right?' Yes, sir. 'You blamed liar' shouts the lieutenant. 'I got a message ten minutes ago that he was dead.' "And it was true. What do you think of that old scoundrel trying to get me in bad with his dying breath?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Picture of Night Along the high hedged lane John Strong swung, the June gloaming deepening into night. He loved to shove his face into the night. He gloried in the uncertainty of night, the indefiniteness of night, and his soul cried back a wild answer to the cry of the nighthawk and the owl. Night 19 more primitive than day; night is more calamitous; night is a savage; night everywhere is the true aborigine. Day has taken on civilization. Night hurls the world back to the day of the war club, the flint arrowhead, the painted visage. John Strong loved the night with an almost malevolent love. In the night he could hear the Valkyries screaming, the witches riding their broomsticks, the ghouls scraping the mold from off the new buried coffin.

Sir Greville, with characteristic kindness, sent the old man some hothouse grapes and a pineapple. The next time the two met Sir Greville asked Thomas how he liked the fruit. "Weel, Sir Greville," answered the gamekeeper, "the plums was good, but I dinnna think much of the turnip."

Dr. Tunnell is a hus- -band and a father, but what man would suspect it, judging him by his inconsiderate, unreasonable and unsupportéd attacks upon another man who, too, is the breadwinner for wife and children, who must necessarily be the innocent victims of the blow aimed. Before a_recent meeting of the Board of Education, Dr. Tunnel, as a member of that body, pre- sented charges against Prof, Roscoe C. Bruce that contained not one scintilla of evidence nar the, least semblance to reason, consistancy dr honesty. And upon these alleged charges, and without the accused being asked to be present and given the American right to defend him- self, Dr. Tunnell was so unfair, as to demand his dismissal there and then. Not content with the rebuff the majority of the board.adminis- tered to him by voting to submit the matter to the proper official (the su- perintendent( for fair, honest in- vestigation, Dr. Tunnell, whom we, heretofore, suspected had a few, isolated grains of fairness in his makeup, went before the colored ministers of this city and attempted to lug in their meeting a matter which concemed the Board of Edu- cation, and which he himself had voted to submit to the school su- perintendent for investigation and adjudication, publicly declaring at the time that he would abide by the superintendent's decision, But the colored ministers, possessing more of the milk of human kind- ness, more Christian tolerance, re- corded a negative vote against him of sixteen to three. In view of Dr. Tunnell’s unreasonable course he has not only outlived his usefulness as a member of the Board of Edu- cation, but it is a serious question as to whetherhe has not impaired his usefulness as a ‘member of iloward University’s faculty. Tere- tofore the relations between the Washington public schools. and Uoward University have been ami- cable and helpful, made so largely hy Prof. Bruce's hearty co-opera- tion, but Dr. Tumell. by his: dis- organizing methods, his arbitrary demands, and unfounded attacks upon the schools, has contributed to injure the university. Certain it is he has not helped to the respect of himself as a minister. Were all ministers of the Gospel of the same stripe as Dr. Tunnell, and thank God they are not, the anti-church propaganda would increase in pop ularity and strength. In retaining Dr. ‘Tunnell on her faculty is no Howard University carrying a han- dicap? x «A‘FRIEND INDEED. Secretary MacVeagh, of the Treasury Department, has placed the Negroes of this country under fresh obligation to him, and inci- dentally placed the race under new oliigation to the Taft Administra- tion by his most recent act, which continues in the service the Negro draughtsmen and superintendents of construction now on the rolls of the office of the Supervising .Ar- chitect. In the list of employes submitted for dropping from the Supervising Architect's office, which 1s a bureau of the Treasury Department, appeared all the Ne- gro draughtsmen and superintend- ents of construction. Secretary MacVeagh was not blind to the fact that the including of all such Negro eimployces of the Architect's: office in the list of those to be drop- ped, for the given reason of insuffi- cient appropriation, was nothing less than elitsinatioa of Negro em- ployes, and he ordered that they not be dropped. Had an cquita- ble per cent of the Nexre em- ployes been selegted for dismissal, a per cent, say, equal to the per cent of the whites selected for dis- missal, the race could not have ar- gued that there was undue discrim- ination. But when all the high- class Negro employes were selected to be dropped, it burdered too closely on unjust discrimination, and Secretary MacVeagh, who will not stand for any discrimination whatever on account of men's col- or, gave instructions that these Negro employes should be contin: ued in the service, He also, doubt- less, was influenced some by the fact that with the almost tremen- dous odds against the Negro as a race, even when he possesses the ability, energy and fidelity to trust these technical Negro employes of the Architect's office would have experienced a hard time, if thrown out upon the world. The race should be, and is grate- ful to Seretary MacVeagh for this new evidence of his deep interest in us, and for his most refreshing act of fair play. No department of this great government ever had for a head a man who was morc considerate of, and more interest- ed in according to exact and equal justice to the many faithful Negro employes of the government than Franklin MacVeagh. He is al- ways for a “square deal,” and jus- tice is simply an inseparable part of his makeup. Secretary Mac- Veagh has our grateful -thanks. He is a friend indeed in time of need. IS FORTUNE COMING? In a Washington newspaper. other than The Bee. appeared last week the announcement’ that T. Thomas Fortune is dug.to arrive in Washington at an early date and connect himself with a colored pub- lication here, and that already a number of social functions are be- ing arranged for him. There is something pathetic in this an- houncement. A’ decade ago this announcement would have been as a beacon light to enthuse and attract to the fortunate publication that se- cured his services an army of read- ers. But the Fortune who may be coming now is not the Fortune of 2 decade ago. Age and infirmities may not dim the luster of one’s past but true it is, and sad it is that it is true, age and infirmities do not serve to illumine the present or make propitious the future. There is no clientel so devoid of sentiment as‘the clientel of a newspaper. One's past, no matter how brilliant, cannot add to a newspaper’s circu- lation unless one’s present is sup- ported by the same keenest of in- tellect, the same verility or force and coherency, in his sentences penned as characteriszed one’s past. Were the New York World to transport the “Star-eyed goddess of reform,” the brilliant Henry Watterson, .from the land of good whisky, fast horses and blue grass to the editorial sanctum of that metropolitan daily, not one more reader would be added to the ¢ircu- lation list, because Henry Watter- son is now more of a memory than a present activity, and because age, and its attendent infirmities can- not, and never did install a_new rennaisance., If the New York Merald should assemble in its edi- torial rooms the most brilliant gal- axy of editors of these modern times, unless it carried, each day the most news, all the news all the time, not one name would be ad: ded to the circulation list. The Bee because of his past, will welcome T. Thomas Fortune to Washing: ton, but cannot help but say ther is something pathetic in any at: tempt to place the many-hue livery of the present on'the shrouded past And this is said with kindest feel: ing for all those whose work is now a retrospection, and redolent wit the aroma of the past. REPUBLICAN INSURGENCY. One thing the colored voters should give particular attention to is that the so-called Republican in- surgents have never given the least attention to the question of human tights as it effects the colored voter. Their. contention involves simply questions effecting the ma- terial conditions as they effect white men. Ask a Republican in- surgent what will be their attitude towards the colored race, and he will quickly tell you that he had not given the race consideration; that the race question, so all-impor- tant to us, is not a matter of con- cern to them at this time. While itis true that the Republican party, and we mean the regular-Republi- cans, has been somewhat derelict towards the colored race, still the fact stands out that they have never entirely abandoned us, and all we have has been achieved through and by their efforts. The so-called Republican insurgents have aban- doned us. They have abandoned ay for a lower tariff and a lower tant which really becumes free trade will force the colored man to compete, for a_ living, with the cheap foreign laborer, who is con- tent with unsanitary living, with Kttle or no education for the masses, and with cheap food and cheap raiment and crowded tene- ments. As between the regular Re- publicans who still continue to in- corporate in their platforms some reference to the rights and protec- tion of the Negro, and the insur: gent Republicans, who argue only in dollars and cents, . leaving the question of equal rights for the Negro to be settled by Southerr Democrats, there is but one course left open to the colored voter, anc that is to support the regular Re. publicans. Surely this is no tim to swap horses when we are ir the middle of the stream, THE CUSTODIAN. “Every Negro in this land of ours is the custodian of the honor, the character, the rep- utation, of the race.” _ The foregoing statement made by Eimmett J. Scott, is what might appropriatels be said to be sultim imparvo, When we, as a race, and as men, fully realize how triie, and how important in its bearing on our future is this statement of Mr. Scott, there will be a most healthy sentiment installed, and a unison vf action promoted that will achieve wonders for the race. Every Negro is his brother’s keeper, and on how well we keep. oitr brother depends our own, individ- ual, preservation. Rev. Howard, of this city, once said, “if we do not raise up the disolute alley Negro they will pull us all down.” This statement is true, and it but_con- firms the statement of Mr. Scott. Emmett Scott is so completely en- veloped in modesty that what he says and does, and he. is doing much to help on our uplift, ap- pears to him as but the most nat- ural thing in the world, and he is surprised when the wisdom he gives expression to is taken up and given publicity as has been given to the above excerpt from a re- cent address of his. But after all, how immieasurable is the good that the modest, consistent, constant toiler in the field of progress, like Mr. Scott. is doing. Verily we are “the custodian of the ‘honor, the character, the reputation of the race.” COMMENT UNNECESSARY. “An elementary school éommittee went uito executive session to de- termine just how 10 place Helen Harris, daughter of Mrs. Uarris. member of the Board of Education. Helen Harris was finally appoint: cd a second grade teacher and de- tailed toa newly opened kindergar- teu.” z E The above, taken from The Star's report of the board's meeting last Friday, we reproduce without com- ment, except to explain that m or- der to make, Miss Harris a teacher in the kindergarten, out of her turn because she was the:daughter of a board member, the salary of a sec: ond grade teacher was utilized, This will necessitate the failure of some first eligible, deserving young woman graduate of the ‘Normal School, whose parent is not a board member, from securing an appoint ment. And it might be observed with strict propriety, that the mis. takened assumption has been that appointees on the school board were supposed to look after the interest: of the schools as a whole, and no’ use their position and influence, a: a member of the board, to secure appointments for their own imme diate families ‘in spite of the fac! that some others, not members o their families, are higher up on th list of eligibles.

The Bee-is not aware that he has passed the bar associa- tion; if he has, he has never tried a case in court since his graduation: Ocela Taylor, the other sundown editor of a “weakly” publication, is struggling with his “weakly” to exist. Notwithstanding the com- bined efforts of the two “weaklies,” The American and The Union, At- torney A. W. Scott obtained judg- ment against the Howard Theater for $61.50 and costs, a total of $63.70, and it will be collected. GIVE THEM A CHANCE, Dr. Davidson and Assistant Su- perintendent, Mr. Bruce, could do a graceful-thing by giving the sur- plus graduates in‘ our schodls a chance to teach. Why not, next year, appoint to the night schools those graduates who are not ap- pointed in the day schools and dis- continue, at once, all day teachers in our night schools? It is unfair to our teachers who, after graduating from our schools, to have the places filled by day teachers, who are receiving double employment. Of course, some of the principals Will argue, O! no, it will not do, We must have the best teachers in our night schools. Dr. Davidson, this is a weak argument. Some of the best teachers in the city are out of employment. The Bee will discuss this subject fully in its next issue? : AN EDITOR. The Bee has long admired Ros- coe Simmons, the brilliant edito- rial writer of The Age. His work has attracted wide attention. He has come up through a storm of op- position. We admire him more since learning that he intends to surrender his place in New York and return to the South, there to found a newspaper among the great mass of people. He will succeed from the start because it is in him, and because his is something of a charmed name among all Southerners. Good luck to Roscoe. The ice man will soon abdicate to the coal man. Who and what is the Civic League? Has it in its membership men who have the general better- ment of conditions at heart? Is it not about time to stop bick- erings and contentions and pull to- gether for the advancement of the race as a whole? And is it not about time to toss overboard those who persist in rocking the boat? President Taft's speech of ds- surance at Waterloo, Iowa, last Thursday was welcomed by the toilers. The senseless and saneless attacks upon legitimate business by extremists has brought about stagnation in the business world which the toilers, the men who labor with hands, are’ feeling. When depression in business comes the colored race feels it first, last and more keenly for the rea- son that the majority of the tace are manual laborers. The colored laborers dre the first to feel the blighting effects of a panic, and the last to recover. And they can illy afford it, considering the wages they receive. President Thirkield’s introduc- tion of Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce at Howard University Tuesday last, in which he referred to the splendid record uf Prof. Bruce as assistant superitendent of public schools, was one of those two-fold compli- ments. It was a compliment, and a just tribute to Prof, Bruce, and a rebuke to Dr. ‘Tunnell, of the How- ard: faculty, who, as thember of the Board of Education, has been criti- cising Prof. Bruce and asking for his dismissal. President ~Thirkield has a naviet way, all his own, of passing a lovely bouquet to the de- serving, and a few thorns to the undeserving over in the next aisle without it being noticed until the day after. Assaulted on a Car, Last Saturday morning Mrs. T. J. Tilhman, employed in the Treasury Department, and a Mrs. Merritt, boarded a Washington Electric car going to the Union Station about 8:30 Orclock. Mrs, Tilhman tendered the conductor a ticket, while Mrs. Merritt gave him a dime, which he put in his pocket, and later on demanded his fare, when both ladies insisted that he had’ kept the dime and 5 cents was coming to Mrs. Mertitt, which he de- clared’ was not true. Mrs, Merritt insisted that he owed her 5 cents. The ‘conductor, without another word, struck Mrs, Merritt, knocking her to the floor, saying that he would not | Y take such talk from a nigger. The affair caused a commotion. When the car teached the Government Printing Office a policeman boarded it and wanted to arrest Mrs. Merritt. "The conductor said he did not want to arrest her, but just wanted her put Off the car.

If ever Horner, Tunnel, et-al., get Jim's goat he can make a Vanderbilt living ex- fubiting his teeth and smile in Ring- ling Bros. side show. Is he proud of his teeth? Well, they tell me he spends $2.00 per week for dentifrice alone. Outside -of that Jim saves ev- erything but his smile. Jim is a fine looking fellow, as fine a looking bit of humanity with a less than half Es- quimo complextion as ever crossed the long bridge. There ain't much danger of his ever getting into a jam, because he always plays safe, right up against the cushion—so close you can't put him in the pocket. As a middle-of- the road man he’s got Kelly Miller resting easy in the scrap pile. If Jim is a member of an organization he never votes on any question, unless he knows, in advance, that the vote will be unanimous, and is only intended 5 a vote of confidence. He's so afraid of putting the nippers on his chances that he hands that Billikin smile of his to everybody, to both prince and pauper, to Bruce and Hor- ner alike, without so much as an atom of a change. I'd give one thousand cold dollars of Napoleon Marshall's Brownsville savings, and the same amount of Dick Tompkins’ anticipated surplus if I had that smile of Jim's. They, tell me, sub rosa, that When he and Stafford were running a neck and neck race for supervisor (and Stafford's got a smile that’s above par) Jim just oiled up his face with lubricating oil so as to give his smile free action, and the thing was a closed incident. Major Brooks says that when the battalion is on dress parade Jim’s smile makes the gold braid and polished buttons of his uniform look like a bit of pewter taken from the ruins of Pompeii. And at that I don’t believe the Major exaggerates one bit. But Jim Walker is nobody’s jester, let me surprise you. He’s got two or three things stored up in that cra- nium of his, and he's an awfully fine disposition,’ and the commendable habit of not knocking every color bearer of the climbers’ brigade who percolates through the crust of a.whist club to claim a place in fin de siecle society. Jim just saws wood and says nothing. And if he does say anything, it’s nothing but words, for you can't figure out, from what he says “where he’s at,” or where he will be at in the round up. Everybody likes Jim, however, including his wife, Arthur Newman and Maj. Brooks. Somebody once suggested Jim for Assistant Su- perintendent of the schools. When be heard of it he put on his ear muffs, put an Allcock’s porous plaster over his mouth, and made signs to his wife to send his meals down in the cellar to him for a week. Jim’s just that cautious. He’s so cautious that he could balance an over-ripe egg of the bantam hen variety on his nose while he walked from his home to the ar- mory. But the boy will do at that He'll be a moving picture around here long after some of the busybodies, who assumed a contract to run the universe, are serving time for passing counterfeit ability. Jim always re: minds me of a family heirloom—its a whole lot of value as a keepsake, be it gives you lots of pleasure to have it, and at the same time the fam- ily next door ain't jealous because you have it. Next week I hope to put that teakwood complexioned brother- in-law of his through the sieve. *,* Some genius who came near being surrounded with 2 poetical atmos- phere, and who doubtless matriculates up on Howard hill, has sent me a gen- tle: effusion, bordering on a delusion, entitled, “Rubaiyat of Tunnell,” which he requests that I print in this col- umn because everybody could see it. He had the temerity to say that it was written with due apologies to Omar Khyam, and that, in one partic- lular, it was an improvement on Omar Khyam in that the verses carried five lines while old Omar could not ooze out more than four lines toa stanza for his crazy Rubaiyat There are a lot of literary lights around here who will appreciate the high hterary quahties of this unknown successor to old Omar, Lowis Gregory. who is an authority on everything that has an oriental cold-storage atmos- phere. and ‘Tom Clarke; who is con- versant with the early’ life of every penny-a-liner who wrote poetry for the mummilied queens, will appreciate the loftiness of this effusion. And all good judges of such compounds that Dr, Wyley has classed as “not whis- ky” will readily detect the fumes of the blended article in every-line of Rabaiyat of Tunnell.

A thought—noble, inspiring thought self sent, - Most vaultingly, one day to my brain went That by the Board of Education I might rise and be, without reserva- tion, Thirkield’s successor—Howard's pres- ident. sf But first, and here my wondrous con- ception Did blase way to that howor’s recep- tion, I must first the son of a Bruce dis- - lodge, - And in his place behold myself.

Mr. Thomas takes charge on the 23d of October HOWARD THEATER Failed Under Flint—-Now Under Colored Management.~ The Howard Theater, which has heen under white management since the retirement of Mr. W, 11 Smith, of Chicago, has changed “hands again from Mr. Flint, a white manager, to that of a colored manager, Thomas brothers, colored, who are running the Minnehaha so successfully. These are enterprising men, and will no doubt make a success. Mr. W. H. Smith, who was the first manager, or- ganized the “Our Friend From Dixie” company and many other successful combinations, The Bee always stated that it was a mistake when Mr. Smith left this theater He was a dignified business man, and the sanitary condi- tion of the theater never was better. He always saw that the patrons of the theater were looked after and po- litely treated. Miss F. M. Tyson, who is now. managing the theater, is an enterprising and a thorough race wo- man, and would be a great acquisition to the new management. The Bee wishes the new enterprise success.

E. C, Williams, principal of M Street High School, delivered a very teresting and practical talk to the Christian Endeavor Society, of the Fiftkenth Street Presbyterian Church at the opening meeting of that sv- ciety_on Sunday. The speaker urged the Endeavorers to extend their work beyond the confines of the church Proper, and into the alleys and courts of the city, wnere hundreds are sadly in need of uplifting influences. Mr Williams stated that there is a natural tendency on the part of the more for- tunate of the race to get away from those needing help. He made a spe- cial appeal to his audience ndt to let the other race show more interest in our own people than we show. | The speaker impressed his listeners with the fact that many a boy and girl born in the slums and among depravity had risen to great heights because in their childhood they had been given a “boost” along the right path By the more fortunate of their race. “All such a class of people need,” said the speaker. “is to sec that you are interested in them and are willing to help them. And re- member, that we as a race, will rise only as we lift up those who are less fortunate than we.” Dr. J. H. N. Waring made a short talk in which he intpressed upon the audience the need for more social service : The meeting this Sunday tends to be equally as interesting. HOWARD LAW SCHOOL.” Opening, With Wm. H. Lewis as the Speaker Makes a Great Hit by the Delivery of a Fine Address. “Splendid,” ‘“Magnificent,” “the best ever.” Such were some of the expressions heard Monday evening, from those in attendance, when Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, finished his address before the law students of Howard Universi- ty Law School, at the opening of the school. It was Mr. Lewis’ first ap- pearance before a Washington audi- ence, since his elevation to the dis- tinguished position of Assistant At- torney General, and he faced a large, appreciative, and perhaps the most critical of audiences, every one pres- ent being capable of judging between merit and that which is an imitation, Mr. Lewis was never in better spirits, being at his best. The ovation ten- dered him when he arose to speak, and the applause that followed the completion of his address, showed clearly that he had captured the hearts of Howard Law School stu- dents. Every, member of the faculty present was highly pleased’ with the address, freighted, as it was, with good advice and ‘inspiration. ' Prof. W. H. H. Hart, the idol of the stu- dents, referred to Mr. Lewis’ address as simply “splendid:’ Many lawyers, white and colored, were present, be- sides many of the faculty of Howard University academic department. Con- sidering ‘the address, the audience, and the number of students entered it was the most propitious pening since the foundation of the Howard Law School. ‘s FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, Regulars Gaining Recruits—Progres- | Sives on the Dowewt Road—The | Best Men Leaving. Ever since some of the members of the Fairmount Heights Citizens “As- sociation bolted the organization a few months ago and set up a rival as- sociation under the name of Progres- sives, and opened its doors ‘to the women folks of the community for the purpose ofcincreasing their mem- bership and exalting one or’ two oi these men bolters, the Regulars, or the original association, have inces- santly resorted to peaceful means of every description to induce these urig- inal bolters and their misguided fol- lowers, including many of the latest and intelligent additions to the com- munity, to see the error of their ac- [tion and return to a more united effort toward the advancement of the com- munity. : Mainly among the efforts persued by the Regulars are the mass meet- ings of all the male citizens of the community, and the political mect- ings held almost weekly within the last six or seven weeks. In these public meetings the slogan of union has been kept alive at every oppor- tunity, so much so that at a recent mass meeting held in the Town Hall,. im response to a resolution passed asking for a vote on union between the Regular, and so-called Progres- sive associations, every man present voted in its favor. Following this resolution a motion was passed to ap- point an arbitration committee—tive men from each association—to con- sider and draw up plans upon which the two associations could merge. This joint committee was appointed at once by the presidents of the two associations—five men from each or- ganization. But upon announcing the names of these committees which iwere to act jointly upon the proposi- tion of union of the two associations, it was found that the leader of the so-called progressives had “packed” his committee, not oly with a major- ity of persons of fixed predjudices against union and principles of self- government and intelligent measures, but had also filled the fifth vacancy on his half of the committee with a female resident, not only in defiance 1of the character of this mass meeting of male citizens, but for the adur- tional reason that she too was unal- terably opposed to any union of senti- ment and peaceful activity in the com: munity among men or women work- ing jointly or separately. Of course, as was foreseen, no prog- ress could, therefore be made. The so-called progressives met last Tues: day night to receive a spurious Feport from their half of the arbitration com- |mittee (which met among themselves without such authority). They re- ported to remain in isolation among themselves, under the sound of their own voices and under the whip o! their female bug-a-boo, the sting of which is strong and lasting. This re- port was simply intended to re-create old dissensions and, discord against union; and fortunatély it was so re- ceived. The militane females and the few hen-pecks expected it, and of course accepted it by* common, con: sent. But—and this is the point—a majority of the real men present were Jalso expecting just such « report. but, | differently, of course, to reject it | Results: This latter contingent o Jindividual manhood, composing _ the brain and civic ambition monopoly o! |those present escaped further embar- Jrassment and intimidation from the {militant females and their husbanc followers by resigning and otherwise || forfeiting their membership forthwith |The Regulars have therefore richly | gained by this move The nature o} Jana the extent to which they have {gained will be told in detail in duc {time, and after the general love feas: the name of every man who is help Jing in this noble and patriotic fight will be published, and Fairmount JHicights will move on ‘to greater | things.

MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29. + The students of Morris Brown Col- lege have sent a protest to the trus- tees of the college Fequesting the im- ‘mediate removal of the president of the college, who, they say, is not a college man. The protest is signed by twenty-two students, who say that they will cast their lot elsewhere if action is not taken. ae THE STICKING POINT _ From the Cleveland (O.) Leader. If “Jack” Johnson were a white man British moral sense would not prevent him from fighting the English pugilist Wells, in London. Moral questions have not. interfered with other much-advertised ring encounters in the same city, within the last year or two. If Johnson were pretty sure to get whipped by ‘Wells there would be no stopping the fight, color or no color. ‘Then some powerful interests which now oppose the battle would be on the other side. The real trouble with the British au- thorities 1s that they know the Amer- ican, the black man, would be almost certain to win, and they cannot stand the prospect of such a spectacle. ‘There are practical reasons for this, as well as the common race prejudice which would be a force to be reckoned with anywhere. In large parts of the British em- pire it is vital to the maintenance of existing conditions, without greatly increased expense and danger to the powers that be, to keep up the pres- tige of the white race and make much of the supposed inferiority of all m with dark skins. This is imperative because there are great masses of col- ored men dominated and made to stand aside by a small minority of white men. . _. This is true in South Africa and in Egypt, where England does not yet rule by law though she does in fact. It is so in India where the dif- ference between the atien masters and the native masses is more a matter of color than of race, in the broad sense. Similar conditions exist is the British West Indies, where the bulk of the population is black. It is the same in the Malay peninsula and islands of the East Indies such as Borneo. For this reason British imperialists dread the effect of the knocking out of a British champion prizefighter, lwho has been a British soldier and bears an army nickname, by an Amer- tcan who is of African’blood. They fear the influence of such a fight upon the rising self-confidence and self- assertiveness of dark-skinned races living under the Union Jack. Protests against permitting the Johnson-Wells fight have been sent to the British government from South Africa, where colored men are denied ‘the franchise and kept in subjection to the whites im many ways. Raée 'prejudice-is tangled up with imperial politics and that combination makes the task of the British moralists com- paratively easy in their efforts to pre- vent the Johnson-Wells fight. If Wells were an assured winner or had better than an even chance—but that, as Kipling used to say, is an- other story. THINGS TO HAPPEN. Attorney R. R. Horner and Supt. R.C.

Now, listen: If you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdee advise you. I know you will never regret it. My husband was a drunkard, a run-about and around, a gambler, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman, I took up courage and let her hear from me.

I would like so much to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man two years and we spat all the time. We were twice engaged and he would disappoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is so nice and kind to me. I told him a few months ago of this advice, and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and he then made up his mind, and do you know that my husband has one of the best jobs of his life by consulting her. No matter what you want to do or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you will never regret it. I can not help believing that she is sent of God to do just what she is doing, and you never hear of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme Lodge, and I never met a nicer lady. I am a Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, as ever, her friend. MRS. POSIE T. M. Washington, D. C. To Whom It May Concern: I have always been one of those that did not give any thought of this until about four years ago I had a great trouble and it cost me almost every dime I had, and my mother asked me one day to tell some of this trouble to this woman that we read so much about in our papers. Mother says, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I said, "Suit yourself; anything now, so I come clear and get out of here." She let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in substance: "If you will pray and trust God, I will do the erest." And bless her today and forever, I was called to trial, and every witness that could be found spoke in my behalf, and those who did not could not be found. I was returned to jail twice and then set free. Do you blame me for saying she is a power unknown, to help those who seek her aid? I am now doing business for myself and making good. Every month I send her twenty dollars. I have done this for four months, and shall always divide my last dime with her. I am her friend at all times. G. A. CAMERON, Jacksonville.

Address Positively no attention paid to letters without one dollar enclosed HOME L LCONRY. The Kirghiz Train the Golden Eagle to Hunt Wolves and Foxes All wanderers are lovers of the chase, but for sheer love of sport and daring exploits the Kirghiz take the palm. Central Asia is the home of falconry, which was not introduced into Europe until the crusaders brought back falcons with them from their eastern wanderings. But imagine the ambition of the men who fly their birds at wolves and foxes instead of at quails and partridges! Not content with hunting game birds with small falcons, the Kirghiz capture and train the great golden eagles, with which they hunt such game as gazelles, foxes and even wolves. A well mounted Kirghiz falconer, carrying on his wrist one of these magnificent birds, is a fine sight. The weight of the eagle is such that the owner requires a support for his wrist, and the hunters are usually to be seen with a little wooden bracket that supports the arm against the hip. The eagles are hooded, as all falcons are, but can be used only in winter; when they are hungry and keen. In summer they are fed on marmots and live a restful life, sitting in the sun in front of the tent doors. When gazelles or wolves are the objects of the chase the eagles are aided by long, sleek greybounds of a small breed, the dogs running in and pulling down the quarry when the eagles have sufficiently bewildered it.—Wide World Magazine. NATURE'S PAINT BRUSH. Colors, Shades and Tints That Cannot Be Reproduced by Man. Nature paints in the most striking colors and shades and tints with a delicacy never achieved by the brush in the hands of the artist. The highest ambition of the manufacturer of paints is to produce colors which look like nature's. The yhave never succeeded. Grass has a green of its own. So has the leaf and so has the distant ocean. None of these has ever been reproduced and put in cans with a price label on them. Winter apples now repose on the shelves of the paint chemists. Honor awaits the man who can combine colors to produce the tints of red of the Baldwin and Northern Spy. They come pretty near it, that is all. The same is true of the colors with which October first touches the maple leaf. If all the paint grinding works in the world were multiplied ten thousand times they couldn't turn out pigment enough in a year to do what nature does in a change from season to season. Nature's brush is busy everywhere all the time. In the life of a leaf it applies the brush day by day, following with its tints from budding time until it futters from the branch. It touches the valleys and the hills, the growing grains, the flowering plants. Never is it idle—New York World. Legend of Holyrood Palace. Holyrood palace, Edinburgh, Scotland, once a British royal residence, is the subject of a strange legend. Robert Louis Stevenson alludes to it in his little book on Edinburgh. "There is a silly story," he writes, "of a subterranean passage between the castle of Holyrood and a bold highland piper who volunteered to explore its windings. He made his entrance by the upper end, playing a strathspey. The curious footed it after him down the street, following his descent by the sound of the chanter from below, until all of a sudden, about the level of St. Giles', the music came abruptly to an end and the people in the street stood at fault with hands uplifted. Whether he was choked with gases or perished in a quag or was removed bodily by the evil one remains a point of doubt, but the piper has never again been seen or heard of from that day to this." National Shortsightedness. "In this country," said the sociologist, "everything possible is done to discourage people from marrying." "How so?" inquired one of the listeners. "You have to buy the marriage license, fee the preacher, the boys give you what they call a 'shlvaree,' your friends throw old shoes at you, the newspapers print caricatures of you, life insurance agents hound you, you bump right up against the cost of living, and if you find you've made a mistake you have to go to no end of trouble to get a divorce."—Chicago Tribune. His Strong Point. "This is a pretty bad report card," said the father of the young hopeful as he looked over the teacher's figures. "You seem to be 'poor' in pretty much everything." "That's 'cause teacher only puts down th' studies I ain't good in. I ought to have 'excellent' in one thing." "And what's that?" hopefully inquired the father. "Fightin'. I can lick any boy in th' class!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cutting Down the Butcher's Bill. "Isn't there any way to cut down a butcher's bill?" asked Tightwad, sarcastically addressing his meat man.

Writing in 1841 of a fall from an immense altitude which did not result in death, a French observer, M. Mansini, declares that he had scarcened in vain in the annals of science for a similar case. We can well believe it. The victim or patient was a tapisier who had been engaged in putting up decorations on the occasion of the belated obsequies of Napoleon the Great in the lofty dome of the Church of the Invalides in Paris. When busy moving a ladder on the top of a high scaffolding he overbalanced himself and, in obedience to some obscure instinct, jumped clear of the ladder and the platform, crying to his fellow workmen as only a Frenchman would, "Behold me quit!" With these cheerful words on his lips he fell eighty-two feet, bounding in one place off the roof of a little dome, which caused him to describe a second parabola in the air, and landing finally, feet first, on the slate roof of a small sacristy. Crashing through the slates, he landed astride a rafter, where he was found sitting, surprised but coherent, for he was able to give his name and address when asked for them. He had no recollection of this and became unconscious when put to bed shortly afterward under the care of the great Pasquler. His insensibility lasted a very short time, however, and he made an extraordinary rapid recovery, having sustained no apparent injuries, either external or internal. At the end of a month Pasquler found him quits wall—London Lancet. THE SQUAW'S SHAWL It Must Be Just So to Suit Her Fastidious Taste. The Indian wears his blanket on the hottest summer days. His theory is that if it keeps out the cold in winter it will keep out the heat in summer, says Ben M. Myers of Oklahoma City. While he might not care to buy anything else expensive, the price of a suitable blanket is never questioned, but it would be difficult indeed to deceive him as to the texture of any robe. "A squaw will imitate almost anything that pleases her fancy, but in the matter of her blanket or shawl she exhibits an unusual amount of individuality. With great care and patience she designs her blanket, and when she places the order with the mill man he does not dare duplicate it until she has had an opportunity to wear it. "If she makes the request that it shall not be duplicated her wishes are regarded, because it is the one article she possesses in which exclusiveness is much coveted and also because what would please one squaw would not appear at all attractive to another. "The lightweight shawl or blanket is thrown over the head of the squaw, and unless she is able to purchase a bright colored silk kerchief it will serve as her only bonnet as well. It is just as common a sight now to see the papoose securely bound on the back of its mother by a portion of her blanket as it used to be to see the wee head of the Indian babe peeping from the tekas, or frame cradle." — Washington Herald. Confidence In the Mails. Having sent a strong box key by mall in an unregistered letter, a clerk was told by his employer that the key "arrived O. K.," but that the means of transportation adopted showed too much confidence. In answer the clerk said, "Ever since a New Year's eve incident of two years' standing my confidence in the postoffice is great." And pressed for an explanation he said: "That evening, or, early in the morning rather, a man came out of a restaurant rather the worse for celebrating. He had a wallet in his pocket containing considerable money and was uncertain as to the honesty of his companions. He went to a letter box, forced the wallet through the slot and continued to make a night of it. It required considerable red tape to recover his property, but he got it."—New York Tribune. Tipping and Treating. There are two practices in this country that are being justly condemned. One is tipping and the other treating. To be sure, we are not responsible for originating either. Away back in the days of Queen Elizabeth every coffee house had a box bearing the inscription, "To Insure Promptness;" hence T. I. P. Neither is treating an innovation. Some of the Caessars, so says history, used to get huffy when their guests could not see the bottom of the glass often enough. But both have got such a hold on Americans that they have come to be recognized as national habits, and the latter sometimes as a national evil-Indianapolis News. A Willing Witness. "Did his actions have an air of veris- militude?" the lawyer asked the wit- ness. "What was that, sir?" "I say, did his conduct wear an air of verisimilitude?" "Oh," replied the witness. "Sure! He was verisimilitudin' all round the place."—Saturday Evening Post. Women and Their Idols. "Women adore Idols." "Do they?" "Don't they? Why, when a woman's idol proves human she's stronger for it than ever."—Toledo Blade. Repentance is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.—Milton. WASHING FURNITURE Tarnished Furniture Is Easily Restored to Original Freshness by This Method. "Very few people know that furniture ought to be washed," said a salesman in the furniture section of a large department store. "Yet," he continued, "it is the best thing one can do to keep furniture looking as well as it should. One should take a bucket of tepid rainwater and make a suds with a good pure soap. Then with a soft piece of cheesecloth all the woodwork should be washed. It is astonishing how much dirt will come off. A second piece of cheesecloth should be wring dry out of hot water. On this should be poured a tablespoon of first class furniture polish. The heat will spread the polish through the cloth. Next the furniture should be gone over with the second cloth. There will be no need of putting on more polish, for that much will do all one needs. Too many persons make the mistake of using too much polish and leaving it thick on the furniture, where it looks dauby and where it gathers more dirt." There is furniture in homes today that is cast off because of its appearance when it might be brought back to its original freshness by this simple process of washing. Many persons do not know that a fine bit of mahogany is improved by careful washing, and hundreds of planes have never been more than dusted in years. A square of cheesecloth for the washing and another for the polishing will do the work, and the result will well repay the effort-Indianapolis News. HOT DRINKS. If Taken Above 130 Degrees They Injure the Stomach. Many people without realizing it are in the habit of drinking tea at much too high a temperature, Sir Henry Thompson points out in his book on "Diet In Relation to Age and Activity." "Few persons are aware that they habitually swallow hot liquids, tea especially, at a temperature which if applied to the hands or feet would inflict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers take it about 140 to 145 degrees F., which the mouth bears very well if slowly sipped, while the cup itself is too hot to be held by any hand. "But the habit of swallowing such tea is injurious to the stomach, and it ought not to be taken above 130 degrees or so. Again, water at 120 degrees, which feels a little more than lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe pain if the hand is dipped in it and cannot be endured." He has, however, some good words to say for the early morning tea. "This morning tea in any case should be taken at least an hour and a half before the first meal of the day. For many years I have been accustomed to write for an hour every morning in bed after tea, as I am doing at this moment, and at no time do I find the brain clearer for work, while the appetite for solid food is excellent when the hour for breakfast arrives." Trudging For the Wash. The Portuguese country people as a usual thing have great physical endurance, doubtless as a result of the "survival" of the fittest for many generations. The laundry workers are an example of this. People come in from long distances to get solled clothes of city customers. The clothes will be placed in big panniers on the family donkey, and the peasants will start back late in the afternoon. Some of them will travel all night, and it will be sunup before they reach their homes, many miles from Lisbon or Oporto. A day or two later they are trudging back to deliver the clothes, now spotlessly clean, and to get another lot from the same patron. Many a countryman and his wife take a jaunt of fifteen miles or more, which makes one think that there might be many who could rival the feats of Weston and O'Leary as walkers if they tried.—Christian Herald. An Early "Trust" As an example of trusts and monopolies prevalent even in that early day it may be mentioned that in 1750 one Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclusive right to make sperm candles in Massachusetts for fourteen years. A year later, however, a factory was started in Providence, R. I., and within the decade there were eight factories in New England and one in Philadelphia. Their output greatly reduced the price of candles, which not long before sold for 5 shillings a pound. In those days $1.25 was worth fully three times as much as it is now—M. Hudson Moore in Designer. The Sixteenth Century Critic "But why, prithee," contended the first critic, "should this new playwright, Shikpur, have introduced a comic gravedigging scene into his tragedy, perdle?" "Tis easy of solution, by ben," answered the second critic. "Our author hath put in gravediggers for the purpose of unearthing a plot! Boy, a cup of sack!" Wit was crude in them days.—Cleveland Leader. Placing the Blame Little Eva—Mamma, didn't you say that if my new dolly got broke somebody would have to be spanked? Mamma—Yes, dear.

Young men often make the mistake when they start on an important undertaking of leaving open a way of retreat if things go too hard, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. No one can call out his greatest reserves, do the greatest thing possible to him, while he knows that if the battle gets too hot he has a line of retreat still left open. Only when there is no hope of escape will an army fight with that spirit of desperation which gives no quarter. Many a great general in his march on the enemy has burned his bridges behind him, cut off his only possible retreat, for the bracing, encouraging effect upon himself and his army, because he knew that men only call out their greatest reserves of power when all retreat is cut off and when fighting desperately for that which they count dearer than life. We are so made that as long as there is a chance to retreat, as long as there are bridges behind us, we are tempted to turn back when the great test comes.

A peasant living in the village of Predeal, near the Hungarian frontier, lost his cow. About two months ago he happened to be standing at the railroad station watching a train load of cattle about to be sent across the frontier. Suddenly he gave a shout. "That's my cow!" he cried, running toward one of the cars. The trahmen only laughed at him, and he went before the magistrate. This good man listened to the peasant's story patiently. Then he pronounced this judgment: "The cow shall be taken to the public square of Predeal and milked. Then if it goes of its own accord to the plaintiff's stable it shall belong to him." 1.

And the Poisoned Egg From Which Was Hatched the Great Charter. Richard Davey in "The Tower of London" connects the historic edifice with the wresting of the great charter from King John. King John, it would seem, though legally married to Isabella of Angouleme, fell desperately in love in 1214 with "Matilda" or "Maud," "the Fair," the beautiful daughter of Robert, Lord Fitzwalter. This lady, remaining deaf to his entreaties, was treacherously abducted from her father's seat at Dunmow by the king's order and shut up in the round turret of the White tower. On this Fitzwalter made a vain attempt to rouse the people to revolt, but was forced to fly to France with his wife and remaining children. Maud once safe in the tower, King John renewed his suit, but only succeeded in driving her to utter silence, which so infuriated him that he sent her a poisoned egg for her breakfast, and she died early in 1215. A year later her remains were translated to the family vault at Dunmow. When the news of this crafty murder came to the ears of Fitzwalter he forthwith returned to England and discovered to his joy that the barons were on the point of declaring war against John. He at once placed himself at their head, hoping, it is said, to combine his personal revenge with his duty as an English peer and is indeed supposed to have forced the king to sign the great charter for the express purpose of humiliating his daughter's murderer. Thus from an egg was hatched the great charter. Whether the story be true or false, it is a certified historical fact that the barons held the tower in pledge till John consented to accept the charter and affixed his reluctant signature to the deed. About a year later, when the war with the barons was at its height and John once more a power, the tower again fell into his hands, and, though the barons laid siege to it, they were repulsed by the king's men. To complete its strange vicissitudes during this strenuous reign the tower became on Nov. 1, 1215, the temporary court of King Louis of France, whom the rebellious barons had summoned to assist in the adjustment of their grievances. Appearing before the gates with a large body of men, he so completely awed the officials that they handed over the keys without striking a blow for their rightful monarch. FREAKS OF A RIVER. A Stream, So Crooked That It Double Crosses Itself. There is a stream in Massachusetts called the North river. It starts in a pond near Hanson and runs to the sea at Scluate. It is ten miles by air line from Hanson to Scluate, and the river is forty miles long. This river is probably the most remarkable body of water, barring the Dead sea, on this footstool and has stood more abuse and bad language than the Chicago river. When the tide is coming in the river runs upstream, and not only that, but the upper part of it, which is fresh water, also runs up, and the spectacle of a fresh water river beating it uphill is alone enough to call attention to itself. But there is much more to it than that. The North river is noted for being the scene of the last Indian raid on the coast settlements. It is notable for having given birth to the ship Columbia, whose captain discovered and named the Columbia river, and was the first American vessel to circum-navigate the world. It is notorious for having suddenly changed its mind on its course on the night of Nov. 27, 1898, when it moved its mouth three miles to the northward, presented the town of Marshfield with a deep harbor, killed three men and converted about 200,000 acres of prime meadow land into a salt marsh. But the chief thing about this river is its crookedness. This river is so crooked that it double crosses itself. If you don't believe it go and see. There is one place in Hanover where by making three loops the river moves toward the sea for a distance of almost fifty feet and meanders about for fifteen miles in doing it.—Boston Traveler. The Open Fire. The open fire is a primitive, elemental thing. It cheers with more than mere heat; it is a bit of the red heart of nature laid bare; it is a dragon of the prince docile and friendly there in the corner.

Why, an open fire in your room is a whole literature. It supplements your library as nothing else in the room does or can.—John Burroughs in Country Life in America. Out or In.

H Stilled the Storm of Applause For His Opponent, Stephen Douglas. Professor James T. McLeary of Mankato, Minn., who for fourteen years represented a district of his state in congress, told this Lincoln story: "A friend of mine told me that when a boy he attended with his father one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates in Illinois. My friend's father was a Lincoln man, but the place in which that particular debate took place was a Douglas stronghold. "Douglas spoke first, and he was frequently interrupted by vociferous applause. The cheering and the hand-clapping at the end lasted four or five minutes. When Lincoln was introduced the crowd broke out into cheers for Douglas and kept it up for several minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited patiently. "When at length the enthusiasm had subsided Lincoln extended his long right arm for silence. When he had partly got this he said in an impressive tone, 'What an orator Judge Douglas is!' "This unexpected tribute to their friend set the audience wild with enthusiasm. When this applause had run its course Lincoln, extending his hand again, this time obtained silence more easily. "What a fine presence Judge Douglas has" exclaimed the speaker earnestly. Again tumultuous applause followed the tribute. "How well rounded his sentences are! How well chosen his language is! How apt his illustrations are! ending up with, 'What a splendid man Judge Douglas is!' "Then when the audience had again become silent at his call Lincoln leaned forward and said: "And now, my countrymen, how many of you can tell me one thing Judge Douglas said?" "My friend told me he searched his own heart for an answer and found none. Afterward he asked his father if he could remember anything Judge Douglas had said, and the latter remembered practically nothing. 'But' my friend said to me impressively, 'even now, half a century later, I can recall practically all that Lincoln said.'"—Exchange. THE USE OF ARSENIC. How the Poison Acts When Taken as a Complexion Beautifier. "You no doubt have observed the illy white complexion of some women. These women are sacrificing years of their lives for that beautiful skin by the use of arsenic," said a chemist of Manchester, England. "It is a well known fact that thousands of women in all countries of the world use the poison in small quantities to bleach their skin. It is an effective means of whitening and clearing the complexion, but the complexion given by its use has no permanency unless the absorption of the drug be continued. "Arsenic, as science has long told us, is an accumulative poison. When one takes it either by prescription for the upbuilding of an appetite or for the bleaching of the skin he does not feel any ill effects for several years. The effect of the drug is bracing and makes a person feel like eating. It also aids the digestion. The average user of the poison takes it in such small quantities that he does not realize how much of it will accumulate in his system in the course of four or five years. "Being an accumulative poison, it often takes that length of time to see the results of the drug. Then the user may complain of not being able to control his fingers or toes. Subsequently he loses control of his hands and arms. Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical poisoning, is the fearful result.—Washington Post. That Was Enough. They were talking about the nosey women who knew everybody in the middle of the block. "Apparently she's got it in for those people who moved away from 35 last week," said he. "What did they do to her?"

Stage fright of the sort that afflicted Whit Cunliffe, at one time a prominent singer in English music halls, is not avoidable. Fortunately also it is not common. At a place where he was engaged in Birmingham one of the attractions was a lion show, some of the beasts being really wild and untamed. Nearly the whole stage was taken up with the "setting"—the animal show. "Just as I was going on," said Cunliffe in telling the incident, "I heard a hurried rush and confused shouting, and some one slammed an iron gate. I heard a voice say, 'Just in time; he was nearly out.' My music was startling, so I had no time to inquire. I went on the stage. "In a moment I heard omnious growls and savage snarls mixed with much whip cracking and strenuous breathing. I am never fond of a wild animal show, and I felt distinctly nervous that night. The cloth behind me sagged and swayed, and then, to my horror, suddenly in the wings I saw the huge head and front of a lion. "I was singing a song called 'I Would,' which had a lot of short verses. As I sang them, my blood running cold, I watched the lion. It seemed slowly to advance, and its baneful eyes glittered in a truly horrible way. I could not go off that side without passing it, so I prepared to 'exit' with haste: "Turning, I was doubly horrified to see another lion on the other side. "I was caught like a mouse in a trap. I dared not go off the stage; I dared not show my discomfiture to the audience. There was only one thing for me to do—sing. So I sang in desperation, hoping that some one would come and take those lions away. They told me afterward that I sang ninety-eight verses. But I think that was unkind. "I wondered how long it would take those two brutes to make up their minds to come into the full glare of the footlights, and I had just prepared to leap into the stalls, regardless of the consequences, when I heard the hoarse voice of one of the stage hands say: 'Ere, Bill, these two chaps are too far forward. Give a 'and with them, will yer?' And, coming up between the two lions, they lifted them bodily. They were papier mache!" LIFE IN SANTIAGO. Curious Customs That Prevail In the Capital of Chile. They have women conductors on the electric cars of Santiago, the capital of Chile. This was made necessary by a war, which took so many men to the front and imposed upon women the work usually done by men. The custom has been kept up, the women having proved equally as efficient as the men had been. One of the most peculiar customs seen here is the evening promenade in the plaza or park, which is attended by young ladies and young men and quite small boys and girls. They do not mix, but keep quite separate paths. Yet even the little girls at seven or eight years are finished coquettes. Their eyes languishly observe every man and boy in the plaza, and they take care that each shall receive a due share of their smiles. Another curious custom which prevails in Santiago and which is joined by those fortunate enough to have fine horses and carriages is the promenade at the Parque Causino, a beautiful park near the center of the city. A company of mounted police stands in single file in the center of the drive, and the carriages, with uniformed cochmen and footmen and beautifully gowned women and fashionably dressed men occupying the carriages, ride around and around these mounted police. Sometimes there are two or as many as six rows of carriages, some going in the opposite direction and alternating, the ladies smiling and the gentlemen tipping their hats in a polite manner. This promenading lasts from 5 o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock in the evening. Logical Point. The Moslem's Exalted Month The Moslem's Exalted Month. Ramadan is the month exalted by Moslem's above all others. In that month the Koran—according to Moslem tradition was brought down by Gabriel from heaven and delivered to man in small sections. In that month Mohammed was accustomed to retire from Mecca to the cave of Hira for prayer and meditation. In that month Abraham, Moses and other prophets received their divine revelations. In that month the "doors of heaven are always open, the passages to hell are shut, and the devils are chained." So run the traditions.—Christian Herald. Getting On.

Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Never Forgave the Former-President For Hie Accusation of Her Husband. A striking incident in the later life of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton, who survived her husband fifty years, is told in the words of an eyewitness in Alan McLane Hamilton's "Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton." Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the behavior of Monroe when he, with Muhlenberg and Venables, accused Hamilton of financial irregularities at the time of the Reynolds incident. Many years afterward when they were both aged people Monroe visited her, and an interview occurred which was witnessed by a nephew, who was then a lad of fifteen. "I had," he says, "been sent to call upon my Aunt Hamilton one afternoon. I found her in her garden and was there with her talking when a maidservant came from the house with a card. It was the card of James Monroe. She read the name and stood holding the card, much perturbed. Her voice sank, and she spoke very low as she always did when she was angry. 'What has that man come to see me for?' escaped from her. 'Why, Aunt Hamilton,' said I, 'don't you know it's Mr. Monroe, and he's been president, and he is visiting here now in the neighborhood and has been very much made of and invited everywhere, and so—I suppose he has come to call and pay his respects to you?' After a moment's hesitation I will see him,' she said. "The maid went back to the house. My aunt followed, walking rapidly. I after her. As she entered the parlor Monroe rose. She stood in the middle of the room facing him. She did not ask him to sit down. He bowed and, addressing her formally, made her rather a set speech—that it was many years since they had met, that the lapse of time brought its softening influences, that they both were nearing the grave, when past differences could be forgiven and forgotten—in short, from his point of view a very nice, conciliatory, well turned little speech. She answered, still standing and looking at him: 'Mr. Monroe, if you have come to tell me that you repent, that you are sorry, very sorry, for the misrepresentations and the slanders and the stories you circulated against my dear husband—if you have come to say this, I understand it. But otherwise no lapse of time, no nearness to the grave, makes any difference.' She stopped speaking. Monroe turned, took up his hat and left the room." In this connection it may be said that the oft repeated story of the meeting of Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron Burr many years later on an Albany steamboat is a fiction, but it was probably suggested by the Monroe incident. Hanged For Stealing Golf Balls. Some sharp punishment has lately been mated out to men convicted of golf ball stealing, and one boy was sentenced to six strokes with the birch. The offenders, however, may congratulate themselves that they live in a merciful age. In 1637 at an assize in Bannf a lad of the town, having confessed to stealing a few trifles, including some golf balls, was actually hanged for the offense. The indictment ran that he was "ane lewd liver and boy of ane evill lyff, and conversation, and ane dayile remainder fro the kirk in tyme of dyvyne worschip."

Church, departed this life at her late residence, 1211 Linden Street, Northeast, this city, at 7 o'clock last Sunday morning. Mrs. Hollin had been a great sufferer since last March, and spent most of the past spring and summer in Atlantic City and Jersey City with relatives in the hope that a change of climate might improve her health, but although her husband, relatives and friends did all in their power for her recovery she gradually grew worse until last Sunday morning, when she passed from labor to reward. Mrs. Hollin was a faithful and active member for many years of Queen Mary's Household of Ruth, of the G. U. O. of O. F., and also belonged to the Ladies' Reliable Relief Association and to the Provident Relief Association. She was greatly beloved by her numerous friends and relatives, who, along with her husband, feel deeply her loss. The funeral was largely attended, and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. I. N. Ross, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, of which the husband, Mr. J. W. Hollin, is a prominent and faithful member. The floral offerings were numerous and exceedingly beautiful. Mr. Hollin is especially grateful to the societies to which his wife belonged, and to the pastors and members of Metropolitan and Shiloh churches, and to the numerous friends who did all in their power for the comfort of his wife during her long illness, and showed genuine sympathy with him and the members of his family in their sad bereavement, and he takes this means of expressing to one and all his hearty thanks and deep appreciation for their sympathy and kindness. Mrs. Hollin left behind a glorious testimony and a record as a Christian and wife which the husband, relatives and friends will treasure as a blessed memory and which will serve to allay their grief since she has made her peace, calling an election sure, and is only waiting in that Heavenly land for the coming of those she loves. Sad Funeral. The funeral of Mrs. Minnie Mason (nee Chisolm), who died on the 24th of September, took place from her father's residence, 1915 Eleventh Street, on the 27th of September.

The floral tributes were many and of beautiful designs. Interment was made at Harmony. Mrs. Mason was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R F. Chisolm, two of the best known citizens of Washington. She was a most amiable young woman in the city and one of high culture. Being so young, it made the occasion sad. The Bee extends its condolence.

Judge Butler admitted the two police officers to bail in the sum of $2,000 each, and committed Tucker and Markward to prison without bail. Bonds were furnished for both policement. The grand jury held that the chief of police was lax in his duty on the night of the lynching, and that Policeman Howe, who was guarding the Negro at the hospital from which he was taken by the mob, made no effort to prevent the lynchers from getting their victim. The other two men were charged with being active participants in the mob. Entire Police Force Censured. The grand jury report censures the entire police force of Coatesville. Burgess Shallcros and the Brandywine fire company for failing to further the ends of justice. The citizens of Coatesville and vicinity having knowledge of the lynching are condemned because their attitude during the inquiry hampered the work of investigation. Judge Butler in discharging the grand jury, said: "That more information has not been obtained is no disgrace to you. You have shown everyone that the law must be supreme.
