THE BEL Congressional Library WASHINGTON VOL.XXXII NO22 BACHARACH THE MAN Great Mass Meeting W. CALVIN CHASE, LAWYER AND EDITOR, OF WASHINGTON, D. C., ADDRESSED MASS MEETING OF 3,000 REPUBLICANS. ON PLATFORM WITH LEADING JUDGES, BANKERS, AND BUSINESS MEN OF CITY. Came to Atlantic City on Invitation From the Republican Campaign Committee of New Jersey. President Tatt Applauded. Made a Brilliant Address. (Special to The Washington Bee.) Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 31, 1911. On Saturday last, the 28th, Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee, came to the city in response to an invitation from the State Campaign Committee, to speak to the Republicans of Atlantic City and county. Mr. Chase's appearance at the famous Fitzgerald's Auditorium proved that the war-like editor is not a stranger in these parts. It was twenty minutes before he could stop shaking hands and gain his way to the rostrum where was waiting him Chairman Joseph Sauls, of the Campaign Committee. A reception committee from the Third Ward, appointed to wait upon the editor, escorted him from his tran to the Grinnage House, where he was the guest of Committeeman James A. Lightfoot during his stay in the city. After dinner at the Grinnage House, he was taken to the Union National Bank Building to the offices of the Hon. Judge John J. Crandall, and Attorney Isaac H. Nutter and J. A. Lightfoot, where he was met by the members of the County Committee. ISAAC H. NUTTER. At Fitzgerald's Auditorium, Mr. Carlton Godfrey, president of the Guarantee Trust Company, and Emerson S. Richards, of the Board of Education, nominees on the Republican ticket for the State's Assembly, and the Hon. Harry Bacharach, the city's postmaster, who is the Republican candidate for mayor, preceded Mr. Chase on the progrom. The gentlemen paid excellent tribute to the part the colored men had contributed as citizens to the welfare of the city, and to the part the colored voter had played in sustaining the Republican party of New Jersey. Mr. Bacharach made special mention of the efficiency of the clerks and the carriers in the postoffice, and Mr. Godfrey gave the audience some surprises when he told of the amount of money on deposit in his bank by colore people. Receives Great Ovation. When Edit r Chase arose to speak after a most flattering introduction by Lawyer I. H. Nutter, his was as great ovation as was ever given a speaker and guest here. After thanking his audience for the warm reception accorded him, Mr. Chase plunged into his subject: "Negro Citizenship and JAMES A. LIGHTFOOT. learned through the medium of the press of your State, that your great light in South Jersey is caused by some handful of disgruntled Republicans who have left their party and have gone over to the cause of Democracy. They have extended you an invitation to join them; but fearing that you would not stomach the thing as plain, naked, defiled Democrats, they hope to lure you into their nets by calling themselves Fusionists. But I am so entrenched in Republicanism, when there is no apparent cause for dissatisfaction whatever, that a Democrat under any other name would smell as bad and be as vile. You know far better than I do what advantages you have enjoyed here under Republican rule; and you are perfectly aware of the fact that Atlantic City pays more salary to her colored teachers than is paid to all the other colored teachers through South Jersey. You know you have colored men in very nearly every department of the city, and you know it has come to you under Republican gidministrations. Then on the other hand you are aware of the fact that some seven years ago there was a petition sent to your City Council asking that body pass an ordinance prohibiting Negroes from bathing at certain places on your great and magnificent beach. You know it was a Republican Council that killed the measure Further than this, you know that Governor Wilson has already appointed as Judge of Your District Court a Democrat from the State of North Carolina, who now calls himself a Jerseyman. And he has also appointed another southern man as Judge of your Circuit Court. When he wished special investigations of the affairs of Atlantic County he appointed a son-law of Ben Tillman as foreman of your clipped grand jury. You are too familiar with the great amount of dastardly tricks resorted to in the Southland to deprive your brethren there of their vote for me to recite it here. But who can tell what is the meaning of the Southern sentiment here? And who can say what is the ultimate aim of the Wilson 'Democrats in your State?" "The cry of the Fusionists here is that the city is ruined by contractor councilmen and that you colored men should help the Fusionists to get the city out of the grasp of contract evil. But they have shown you no benefits you will derive from assisting to put the contracts in their grasp. Some of the same white men who now ask your vote, are the same fellows, who signed the petition to keep you and your daughters from bathing on the beach. God in His all-wisdom made the sea large enough for every one to bathe without any one becoming contaminated. But is it not strange that these fellows should ask your support for their affrontery of the past? "Would you see your thirty policemen turned from the force? Would you see colored men dismissel from the payrolls of the city departments? If so, you will vote for Fusionists who have never assisted you. But if you would not, then you will vote for the men who have always proven your friends and placed the colored men there. You are so far removed from the ten million dollar contacts that are so gagging to the Fusionists, that it will take lightening speed thirty years to get you within the zone of the plums and graft connected therewith. To my mind, if that is all, they have advanced no reason why you should desert the party and follow Democrats. They could have discussed matters of vital interest to you. They could have had a plank in their platform promising a reduction of rents and an increase for the wages of you men as hotel employees. These they have ignored, but they are the questions in which you are mostly concerned." After giving a brief outline of the progress of the party, the part taken by colored men, the editor took up Negro appointments under Republican administrations. He did not advise that the Negro vote must necessarily always he solid, but expressed himself as doubtful if they could ever afford to fuse with Democrats. The editor then read a portion of President Tait's address, delivered to the colored Republicans of California, which was printed in his paper. The Pee He was loudly cheered and applauded. In conclusion Lawyer Chase paid excellent ruble to the brilliant address of Dr. P. L. Hawkins, who is taking an active part in the campaign. He also made special mention of the pleasure it gave him to meet the colored men in the legal profession; and how pleased he was to see two young colored men, Lawyers Isaac H. Nutter, who is in charge of the campaign affairs so far as related to the colored voters, and James A. Lightfoot, both graduates of Howard University, with a suite of law offices connected with the ablest law attorney of New Jersey, the Hon. Judge J. Crandall, ex-judge of the Circuit Court. He also deplored the seeming lack of some particular man as the recognized leader, and implored the voters to push the young men forward. There were about three hundred or more white men in the audience. LAST WEEK OF CAMPAIGN, Recorder H. Lincoln Johnson and Hon. Harry Cummings to Speak This is the last week of the campaign, one of the most strenuous waged in South Jersey for a long time. The eliosed grand jury has gone its way, and the regular grand jury, appointed by our sheriff, has found indictments against the reform candidate for mayor, Daniel S. White, besides some six or seven other prominent men, including one colored physician, Dr. Edward B. Terry. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4,1911 THE EDITOR DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. GREATEST OF RACE THE COST OF WARS DR. SHEPARD IN SCRANTON Delivers Three Addresses in the First Presbyterian Church, and Addresses the Y. M. C. A. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 30. One of the largest audiences ever assembled in Scranton greeted Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School, Durhøm, N. C., Sunday morning and evening, at the First Presbyterian Church. Dr. Shepard was introduced by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Griffin W. Bull, a native Virginian, in the following significant words: "To my mind, after a careful study of conditions, men, and the needs of the race, I am fully convinced that at present only three Negro leaders who have far far enough the needs of the race and the vision of triumphs of tomorrow. One of these men is Dr Booker T. Washington, whose life's story and work you heard from his own lips on this platform, another is Dr. James E. Shepard, whom you will hear this morning. It is a pleasure to welcome him to this pulpit and to give you the pleasure of hearing him." In a matchless address of forty minutes, Dr. Shepard held the large audience spell bound as he made a plea for his race. The Scranton Tribune, in speaking of the address in the evening said "No finer plea for the elevation of the black man was ever-made by one. Dr. Shepard discussed the needs of the race in Africa and how they were linked with the needs of the race in America." At 3:30 Dr. Shepard addressed an immense audience of men in the M. C. A. His visit to Scranton will be remembered. On Friday night coming, the II H. Lincoln Johnson, Recorded of Deeds of the District of Columbia and Hon. Harry S. Cummings, Com-cilman of the City of Baltimore, will speak at Fitzgerald's Hall, and on the following evening former Governor Edwin Stokes will speak at the Stock Pier in the interest of the Republican party. To Loyal True Reformers and the Public Generally. From The Reformer. Mr. W. R. Griffin recently elected Grand Worthy Master of the Grand Fountain, U. O. T. R., has been sued for $10,000 damages. Mr. Floyd Ross Vice Grand Master, has been sued for a like amount. The salaries of both of these gentlemen have been attached and a judgment against them will mean their financial ruin. These suits grew out of the effort of Messrs. Griffin and Ross to capture R. T. Hill, the defaulting cashier of the Reformers' Bank, and was in the interest of hundreds of widows and orphans and poor depositors, scattered all over the United States. Whatever error these gentlemen may have committed was an error in favor of the people, and it is earnestly hoped they may not be made to suffer by reason of their activities. The public is therefore asked to assist in raising a fund to carry on their defence. An amount sent to John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of "The Planet," or B. A. Graves, Editor of "The Reformer," will be faithfully applied to the purpose above mentioned. Subscriptions may also be made to any one having proper papers bearing the signature of General Counsel J. Thos. Newsome. From The Reformer WHAT OUR WARS HAVE COST IN PENSIONS. During the Civil War 2,213,365 patriots, wearing the blue, fought in defense of the Federal flag. Of all those who entered that fierce and bloody internecine strife to maintain an undivided country, there are but 553,341 living to recount the battles from Bull Run to Appomattox. And of those 553,341 survivors all but 23,457 were bourn upon the Government's pension rolls at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1911. Last year 35,243 surviving pensioners of the Civil War had taps sounded for them, nearly 100 each day being summoned to take their place in the silent halls of death. Dying now at the rate of over six per cent per annum, and with the average age of those now surviving being three score and ten, in less than twenty years, perhaps, Congress will not be called upon to appropriate for pensioning of a single man who wore the blue from '61 to '65. Each year, because of advanced age, the per cent of deaths increases, and each year the ranks on the old veterans grow sorrowfully thin. For the fiscal year 1911 Congress appropriated $157,500,00 to pay the country's war pensioners. This appropriation covered not alone the 520,884 survivors of the Civil War then carried on the rolls, but included pensioners from the war of 1812, the war with Mexico, the Indian wars, the war with Spain, and the regular establishment. There are now no survivors of the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812, who saw active service, but there are 270 widows, the 1812 veterans still living and draw AUDITOR RAT P W TYLER ing pensions. On the Indian war there are 1,387 survivors and 2,099 widows on the pension rolls. Of the Mexican war there are 1,639 left who fought under the star, and stripes, with Scott and Taylor, against St. Anne still on our pension rolls, and 5,982 widows of the Mexican veterans still enjoying, the bounty of the United States in the shape of pensions. Including mothers, fathers, widows, minor children, brothers and sisters under the act of 1907, and the pensioners from the war with Spain and the pensioners of the regular army and navy establishment, this country, at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1911, was carrying on its pension rolls 892,098 pensioners. From the foundation of the government down to the close of the past fiscal year this government had paid pensions to soldiers, sailors, their widows, children and dependent relatives, on account of military and naval service in the several wars and regular service, totaling the tremendous sum of $4,230,381,730, surpassing any other government on the globe in its munificence to those who bore the heat of the battle. The war of the Revolution cast this government $70,000,000 in pensions before the last survivor had bivouaced on the silent field of death: the war of 1812 has drawn $45,853,024 in pensions from the government's treasury, and there are still 279 widows of veterans of that war on the pension rolls. The war with Mexico, to date, has cost the country $45,279,686 in pensions, the Indian wars $11,102,205, while the Civil War, to the close of the past fiscal year, had cost $3,985,710,830 in pensions. The Spanish-American War, insurrection in the Philippine Islands, and the regular establishment makes up the difference to give this enormous total of $4,236,381,730 in pensions paid by this government since its foundation. REPUBLICAN RALLY AT THE SEA SHORE. 2,500 White and Colored Republicans Greet Editor Chase—Lawyer Nutter Introduces the Editor, Who is Given an Ovation—Taft's Speech Applauded. Atlantic City. N. J. Oct. 29, 1911. This city was all aglow last week. Everywhere could be seen posted placards, announcing the coming of W Calvin Chase, Editor of The Washington Bee, would address the Republican mass meeting at Fitzgerald Hall. Last evening about 2,500 white Republicans crowded Fitzgerald's great auditorium. This city contains a large number of Washingtonians, who were anxious to see and hear their old fellow townman. Long before 8 oclock the Atlantic City brass band entered the auditorium, and it was with difficulty the band entered the field. Hundreds were turned away because the seating and standing capacity of the place were filled. Seated upon the platform were many of the candidates and other distinguished visitors. The chairman of the meeting was a distinguished white Republican, who presided with ease and dignity. The organizers were Attorney Isaac H. Nutter and Attorney James A. Lightfoot, two of the brightest and most progressive young men in Atlantic City. Speeches were delivered by some of the brightest and brainiest men in the place, especially the speeches of Dr. Donnelly, Rev Thomas, and candidate for mayor Bacharach, and the other candidates on the regular Republican ticket. Messrs. Nutter and Lightfoot have thoroughly organized the city for their ticket, and it is quite evident that it will be elected. Editor W. Calvin Chase was introduced by Attorney Isaac H. Nutter in a most glowing and eloquent speech. It was full of eloquence and ginger, and before he concluded wild cries, were made for Chase. Mr. Chase came forward and discussed the platforms of the two political parties from 1858 to 1908. He contrasted them all and showed that the Democratic party stood for nothing but oppression and discrimination, so far as the Negro was concerned. That he didn't believe in Democratic and Republican fusion as it exists in this city. It means nothing. Whenever our friends desert us and join the enemy, you must watch them both. The Democratic party has never stood for anything that would advance Negro American citizenship. Mr. Chase asked permission to read Mr. Taft's speech, delivered to the colored citizens of California, which is printed in his paper and the New York Age. Cries were made for Mr. Taft's speech. Mr Chase proceeded and read the salient points in the address, which was received with great enthusiasm and applause at the conclusion. This was the largest meeting that has ever been held in the auditorium during the campaign! N. C. STATE FAIR AT RALEIGH. 10,000 People Greet Dr. Shepard, Who Delivers the Annual Address Thursday. October 27. (Special to The Bee.) The Raleigh News and Observer the leading white paper of the State says "The annual address of Dr. St Staird was an excellent one. Every once was filled with common sense should be read by every Negro in the State. The crowd was the largest in years, and will long be remem- red." This paper devotes two columns to the address. The fair management deserves much commendation for the success of the fair. Attorney Armond W. Scott, of Washington, was a distinguished visi- AUDITOR TYLER Prof. L. M. Hershaw is indebted to Auditor Ralph W. Tyler for his promotion. Auditor Tyler never fails to assist a worthy and competent man, white or colored. WHICH? From the Amsterdam News. Which shall it be, William E. Loeb or John D. Hilles for chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee? It depends upon whether you are talking to Collector Anderson or Auditor Tyler. In either case the colored people could feel that they had a friend in the master of the house. In either case the colored people would likely curtail their fishing for 1912. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) The late Bishop Handy leaves an estate valued at $20,000. of which Bishop J. Albert Johnson is to be executor. It is said of the thirteen daily newspapers in New York only three are in full sympathy and are supporting President Tatt's administration. The Mound Bayon Demonstrator says: "A book upon manners and morals would not be out of place in the course of study in the public schools." Good suggestion. Former friends and admirers from all over the United States attended the unveiling of a statute in honor of Robert G. Ingersol, in Peoria, Ill. The statue is of bronze, and stands seven feet in height on a granite pedestal. Simon Wolf, one of the best known lawyers of this city, a philanthropist, sociologist, statesman and author, celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday October 28. He is one of the most widely known Hebrews in the world. Washington's public schools 'will be not only the best in this country, but the best in the world, if the purpose of Dr. W. M. Davidson, superintendent of schools, expressed at a reception tendered him by the Nebraska State Society, are carried out. The finest collection of old manuscripts in Paris was bought by J. Pierpont Morgan last week. The manuscripts are of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many are in Latin and some in French. The price paid was $200,000. The famous Rembrandt painting "Knight of the Cross," which had been missing for fifty years, has been found, in the royal castle of Fredensberg. Mrs. Katherine S. Macquoid, the novelist, who is eighty-seven years of age, has written a new book. Mrs. Macquoid has been writing for fifty years. Her first story, was published in 1859. Her latest novel, entitled "Suzanne," has just been completed. According to "The Clarion," the colored children in Augusta, Ga., are to receive hereafter only industrial training in the eighth grade. This is carrying industrialism too far. The segregation law was given a hard blow in Norfolk, Va., by the judge there, when Ocie Johnson, colored, was arrested for violating the segregation ordinance. The decision was: "The ordinance in my opinion being unconstitutional, I dismiss the case." We still have some white friends. The case, it is said, may finally go to the Supreme Court for settlement. Continental currency notes were in July 1780 worth two cents on the dollar, and it took a wagon load of currency to buy a wagon load of provisions. The entire student body of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College offered open rebellion to a faculty rule requiring more practical and less theoretical work. President Dudley was forced to call upon the police to enforce his ultimatum. At the North Carolina State convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, held at Winston, $750,000 was contributed toward the erection of the Lee monument, to be erected in Arlington Cemetery. Christ Church, in Boston Mass, from the steeple of which lights were hung which sent Paul Revere on his ride through Middlesex, will be closed for a year, while improvements are being made. Liberia is soon to become in possession of $65,850 from the American Colonization Society, of this city, for educational purposes, which is a part of the Donavan Fund. About thirty years ago this fund was left by a well-wisher of Liberia, who directed that the money be used for transporting colored people to Liberia and in the interest of education. Miss Bessie Brington has been appointed a teacher in the city schools in Los Angeles, Cal. She will be the first colored teacher in the local schools there. Her salary will be $90 per month. Servant Problem That one of the means of solving the servant problem lies within the dignity of the labor and urging employees to be truthful at all times to employer, formed the basis of an address delivered by Dr C. W Childs before the pupils of the Garnet Night School last evening. The night schools, said Dr Childs, afford an opportunity which but few institutions afford the race without cost. By persistent hammering and earnestness, common sense and good character, the race is bound to succeed. "We should all become masters in our special lines of labor," he said. "If you black a boot, black that boot so that everybody will come to you to have theirs blacked. If you brush off a coat, brush that coat as it never had been brushed before. If you are a cook, cook that meal so that the employer will always want his meals cooked by you. And above all, be truthful to your employer." The speaker also urged the men to be more thrifty. Dr. Childs brought forth loud applause when he condemned those able-bodied men who allowed women to toil for them and support them. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` END YOUR MANTLE TROUBLES If you light with Gas, Gasoline or Kerosene you will eventually use Block Mantles.

No man can well afford to repudiate a man who has been loyal to his every trust. No voter can afford to vote against his friend or a man who believes in according to every citizen his civil and political rights. The record of the man who is a candidate for mayor of Atlantic City should be the people's choice, because he believes in human rights. He believes in the liberty and independence of voters, regardless of color or condition or religious creed. It is dangerous to change existing conditions in this city, if those conditions are a benefit to the masses. The colored voters of Atlantic City should be guided by a sense of reason. They should stop and consider to what extent a change would benefit them. If the outs intend to give them more recognition than what they are now receiving, if our school facilities are to be increased, if promotions are to be made in our police department, then the colored voters would be justified in making a change in existing conditions. But, can a fusion ticket be trusted or relied on? When Republicans and Democrats combine to defeat our friends, is it not time for the colored voters to open their eyes? The colored voters of this city owe it to themselves to have a watchful eye of their surroundings. They should let the fusion ticket see that the colored voters are citizens above reproach, and are entitled to recognition according to merit. Our voting strength must be reckoned with. We should no longer be the "drawers of water and hewers of wood." Mr. Bacharach is a most honorable man. The colored Republicans of Atlantic City could not elect a more honorable man to office than this young Republican. It is evident that he is strong with the Republican voters of Atlantic City, as at the meeting held Saturday evening in the Fitzgerald Auditorium, in which 2,500 white and colored Republicans had assembled, only two opposing men in the meeting were in evidence. The speech of President Taft, which appeared in The Bee last week, was read by the Editor, Mr. Chase, amidst great enthusiasm. While there may be some independents among the colored voters, it was evident that Mr. Taft's speech to the colored Republican voters of California had the same effect on the colored voters of Atlantic City. Attorney's Isaac H. Nutter and James A. Lightfoot, the two Republican leaders, seem to have the situation well in hand. Mr. Nutter is a brilliant orator and a man of ability. Mr. Lightfoot is an astute politician, and a man who has the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens. Both, Messrs. Nutter and Lightfoot, if they succeed in electing their ticket, will certainly establish their leadership in the State of New Jersey. There are quite a number of Washingtonians in Atlantic City, and the Editor of The Bee extends his hearty thanks and appreciation for the splendid ovation given him by the Republicans of the city, when he was introduced by Attorney Nutter. WORLD GROWING BETTER. Those pessimists who think these times are the worst in the history of the republic, and who think the world is surely growing worse, ought to be reminded that Washington, an hundred years ago, used most extravagant language in expressing the conditions of the times then; that Jefferson predicted the Union would soon go to pieces, and that John Randolph thanked God that he had no chil- dren to follow him in a country which he said was growing worse and worse. The fact is the world is rapidly growing better, in spite of the blotches, here and there, that mar the erstwhile fair picture of the present. The millenium has not arrived, and perhaps will not arrive during our lives, but there is a cleansing process that is slowly, but surely, removing the stains, and a fire of purification that is consuming the evils that were and that are. Our race should not be discouraged because now and then a brutal, law-defying mob lynches some defenseless Negro. We can look back but a few short years when millions of us were in abject and hopeless servitude; when hundreds were whipped to death almost daily by brutal slave-drivers, and more recently when the klu-klux clan nightly put to death scores on the very land which is now the broad, fertile, produce-bearing acres of people who are next of kin to the slave-driver's victims, and to the innocent blacks whose blood the klu-klux clan spilt, and to the more than an hundred thousand blacks whose blood dyed, and bones fertilized many a southern battle field. All that is necessary now to accelerate the world's growing better is education and industry. Prayers are alright in their place, but God never answered the prayer of the lazy, who prayed for indolence, nor heard the songs of righteousness when sung by men and women who lacked ambition and courage to tear away the barriers to progress. We do not mean that we should be satisfied with present conditions, but on the contrary we should struggle daily to improve yesterday's condition, and the condition existing today. The men, or people, who are satisfied with their condition today. The men, or people, who are satisfied with their condition at an time, no matter how good, are of little value to any community. INSPIRING CAREERS. Occasionally you will find beside the dusty road a modest, blushing daisy timidly holding up its head above the dust-covered weeds that surround it. It has not the sweet aroma of the violet, nor the gorgeous beauty of the full-blown rose, but somehow it attracts your attention. thought-triveted though that attention may be, and as you pass you give a glance backward at the simple flower that seems to blush unseen. We admire the modest roadside bloom, and somehow and somewhere deep down within us there is an inspired feeling resulting from the one look backward at the simple daisy that stands, sentinel-like, beside the dusty country road. On Howard University's faculty there is a young man who moves in and out the buildings and through the grounds with a modesty such as is possessed by the roadside flower to which we referred. The great world without knows little or nothing of him because he shrinks from the observant, and because the applause of the public has never rang for him. But for his age there are none brighter for the faculty; for definiteness or purpose he is without a superior; for purity, and unselfish devotion to education and to Howard he is a peer in the house of peers. For him life spread out no panorama of guilded pleasures, or golden opportunities, nor floral beds of ease. From the beginning until now his has been the thorns of sacrifice to pluck, and the road of denial to travel. And because of this—because he has achieved success against, and in spite of adversed birth and adversed environments there is not a student at Howard but who will find in this man, Prof. Ernest Just, those characteristics, and that character, which ought to inspire. He is learned beyond his years, though the cloak of modesty mantels the Associate Professor of Biology at Howard University. Nevertheless his career ought to be, and is an inspiring one to all young colored men who would be conjured by success. And not one will bivouac this side of high achievement who takes his life for a pattern. HOWARD THEATER. The white owners, Benedict and Rosenthal, displaced the colored manager, Mr. W. H. Smith, who would have made the theater a success, and placed white men in charge. Mr. Smith would have made the theater a great success. It was he who organized "Our Friend From Dixie," and a greater musical combination could not be found. As an evidence of his organizing qualities, "Our Friend From Dixie" met with world-wide success, and had Mr. Smith been let alone the colored people would have had a great theater. It failed under white management. Now, it is reported that the Thomas brothers have leased the theater for ten years at a monthly rental of six hundred dollars. As a matter of fact Mr. Sidney Bieber is the real manager and force behind the Howard Theater. It will be remembered that Mr. Bieber was among the first individuals in this city to open a moving picture show where colored people were first "Jim Crowed," and subsequently not permitted to enter at all. Now what is the difference in the management of the Howard Theaetr? Mr. Sidney Bieber and Benedict and Rosenthal are alike. It is true colored men are supposed to be the head and front of the Howard Theater, but are they? The Bee doesn't object to Mr. Bieber running a Negro theater, but it does object having the colored people imposed upon with the idea that the Howard Theater is now being managed by colored men, when our friend Mr. Bieber is the power behind the throne. If the colored people want a colored theater, let them build one. It would be better for the colored people to support their own 5 and 10 cent moving picture shows until they get a theater of their own. Let them cease supporting "Jim Crow" enterprises. CAPTAIN OYSTER. The colored public schools are indebted to Captain James F. Oyster. He has been one man on the Board of Education who has looked after the interest of the colored schools. The teachers in the colored schools have the highest respect and admiration for him. He believes in the advancement of not only the colored, but the entire public school system. Our colored schools have never been in a better condition than now. Assistant Superintendent Bruce has the confidence of the people in this city, and Superintendent Davidson is to be congratulated in having such an able assistant as Mr. Bruce. The Bee feels confident that the colored schools will now continue to advance under the present management. Captain Oyster, therefore, generally acts for the people. He is more of the representative of the colored schools than any other member of the Board of Education. If the people want anything done they generally appeal to Captain Oyster. The colored teachers appeal to him as well, because they know that they have a friend in him and in him they have confidence. A SUCCESSFUL MAN The National Religious Training School, under the presidency of Dr. James E. Shepard, is making for itself a most remarkable career. It is daily growing in popularity and influence. It is one of the great factors in the South among the colored people. There is no man better qualified to be at the head of this great school than Dr. James E. Shepard, who stands today the advocate of a great and new propaganda. It has been but a few years when this young man first conceived the idea of establishing such a school among his people. Just see how it has grown! See what influence it is exercising among both races in the South. Durham, N. C., is to that State as Tuskegee is to Alabama. The people throughout this country will honor and respect the work of Dr. Shepard. RIOT WAS A FROST. As usual, the race riot in Oklahoma, was a frost! After the killing and lynching, the Negroes, as usual, made announcement and advertisement as to what they were going to do in revenge. The whites, as usual, said nothing, but the telegraph wires and telephones did a lot of business. The result was, the State militia drifted over, took possession of the town and all arms of the Negroes and jailed their leaders. —The Cincinnati Union. And this is another case of too much talk. It reminds us of the fellow who went hunting and began firing off his gun as soon as he reached the edge of the woods, to let the game know he was coming. We own no steel stock. Our riches, like all colored editors' riches, consists of hopes. Procrastination may be thief of time, but in the rendering of a decision in the colored school matter Dr. Davidson's procrastination is the bearer of peace. It is the duty of every colored man and woman to lend a helping hand to the Social Settlement work. It is an institution with crying needs. It's an oasis in a desert of immorality and squalor. Dr. John R. Francis is to be commended for his efforts to attract attention and help to the Social Settlement. When a busy physician like him steals time from his practice to help lift up the less fortunate it shows the humanity in the man. If the various ladies' card clubs throughout the city would deny themselves the palatable repast that precedes or follows the game of whist, and take the assessment that is levied for the refreshments and devote it to charity, many a little colored poor child might have its hunger appeased with a bit of wholesome food. Think it over, ladies. It is a question, whether or not, in our mad rush for pleasures, and our foolish desires to imitate the lavish splendor of the ultra fashionable and plethoric-pursed whites we do not become unmindful of the duty we owe to our own poor and unfortunate whom we are permitting to become wards of the whites. Charity begins at home, and duty should come before pleasures. / There was no opportunity for doubt in President Taft's Los Angeles speech as to where he stands with reference to Dr. Washington's place in the world. He said, in language not to be misunderstood, that Dr. Washington is one of the greatest men of this or the last century. That is the verdict of the times. "By their works ye shall know them." Well it is by Dr. Washington's works that he has become the undisputed leader of his people, and an example for all other peoples. DURHAM CONFERENCE. Ministers to Meet South. the coming ministers' conference, which is to meet at Durham, N.C. will be one of the greatest gatherings in the State. It will be held July 6, 1912, and from what the press says, it will be a great event The Indianapolis Freeman, one of the greatest papers in the West, says this about the conference: "The Shepard Ministerial Conference" at the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., next July, will be one of the big events of 1912. "There is hope for the race as long as it can produce constructive genius, like Dr. James E. Shepard, founder of the splendid National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C." The Texas Freeman says The Texas Freeman says, "Dr. James E. Shepard, president and founder of the National Religious Training School, Durhask, N. C, has accepted an invitation to deliver an address early in the new year before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the nation's banner organization for literary and scientific research. He will draw a crowd, as he always has a message that the world is eager to hear." The Florida Sentinel says "Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., went to the convention of the National Medical Association at Hampton, Va., and was a conspicuous figure in that great gathering Dr. Shepard has a project on foot that will make the natives sit up and take notice. Watch for announcements soon." National Union says: "The conference of ministers, called by Dr. James E. Shepard, to meet at the National Religious Training School, Durham, N. C., next July, should be largely attended. Every minister of every denomination in this city should make it a point to be there to instruct and be instructed along lines of racial betterment." Richmond, Va., Reformer, says; Richmond, Va., Reformer, says: "Indications point to an immense concourse of ministers at Durham, N.C., in response to the courteous invitation extended by Dr. James E. Shepard, the energetic and resourceful president and founder of the National Religious Training School. The conference will begin July 6, 1912, but it is expected that by January 1 the roster of those who are to be present will be made up through the letters of acceptance that will come in from all parts of the country. "It is to the ministry more largely than to any other class of race leaders that we must look for the correction of the moral lills that affect the body politic. If there is to be social betterment in our various communities, a reduction of crime, an agitation in favor of temperate habits, and a triumph of virtue over vice, the minister is the man who must take the initiative in the work. Through him will be drawn the healthful activities of the doctor, the protective force of the lawyer and the practical influence of the business man. Underlying the whole fabric will be the intellectual force of the school-teacher, who must prepare the mind and the hand of the individual to take advantage of the opportunities laid out for him by the minister's successful appeal to the spiritual and ethical side of mankind." Andrew Carnegie was elected last week, lord rector of the University of Aberdeen, without opposition. Public Men And Things I was standing at the intersection of T and Florida avenue the other day when something went by me with a swish, at a velocity about as great as old Mars racing around his orbit to make up about ten kilometers of lost time. I looked both ways, but saw nothing but a streak of dust. I turned to a cop who was passing and asked him if he heard or saw anything, pass, or was I just dreaming. "Yes," he said, "something passed. It was Doc. Willhain in his 1909 Maxwell model." "But do you let 'em speed that fast?" I asked. "Well, we do him," the cop replied, "because we've arrested him so many times for exceeding the speed limit that the judges have come to the conclusion that the only way, to stop him is to have Congress pass a law making it a misdemeanor for him to have an auto. You see Doc. whizzes by, waves his hand, and yells 'howdy' to us so good-natured that we just ain't got the nerve to arrest him any more. And that Doc Curtis is running him a merry chase for title of speed-limit king. But of course all these colored doctors' cases are urgent ones. They have to be there in a minute or the money won't be there when they get there. But Willhain is certainly the speed king." Speaking about Doc. Wilfiston's Jack Johnson's speeding stunts, reminds me that I heard Jim Neall has found himself an auto up some dark alley. I don't know what make it is—guess the maker was ashamed to put his name on it, but from the noise it makes, and from its general contour, I think it must be a sister ship to Armond Scott's crested noise monger, and about a second cousin to Prof. Craig's ancient mariner. Jim's auto is one of those G. O. P. machines (get out and push). Next time Jim runs his machine in the shop I suggest that he tell the repairers to put about four mufflers on it just so it won't make any more noise than a stone crusher in slow action. But I sort of take pride in these colored "proteshes" who squander a couple of dollars or so for an indifferent auto. It shows they are coming by sure stages. Now Jim Neall blew in here from Tennessee to take a government job. He held that until they discovered he was making a higher per centage on loans than the bank of Monte Carlo was making on roulette, then one day they stopped his pay and Jim went out into the cold world and began to hustle. Between an intermittent practice of law and a rate which makes the interest double the principle every twenty-four hours, Jim has managed to keep the wolf from the door and provide himself and wife with a decent home. I have often watched him going down F street, with his head buried down between his two shoulders, a la turtle, and like as if he was afraid he might lose it, and casting fertive Rockefeller glances with a pair of little eyes that are a cross between a green, brown and blue, and wondered if Jim would ever get tired competing with the Bureau of Engraving in making money. One thing you must remember, Jim had to save money to have money to loan, and the Africanus who saves his money in this town is entitled to a Carnegie medal. And another thing you must not forget is that a whole lot of switches here who like to borrow and on whom it taking a long chance to lend. Jim Neall has three weaknesses; making money, singing in the church chair and being an independent in politics. The first you will never cure him of; the second he ought to be cured of out of consideration for an afflicted public, and the third he has been cured of ever since he attended that Boston meeting and made a speech that was full of insanity germs. What Jim knows about politics could be written on a postage stamp with space to spare. What he thinks he knows about politics would fill every volume of Chambers' encyclopedia. But the fact that the fellow lives in a handsome nine-room, detached house that belongs to him individually, and the fact that he owns a sister ship to Armond Scott's noise producer, and the fact that he could make a good living after they separated him from the government's pay roll all point to a moral—if you save your money, hustle and get there, you must have the stuff in you out of which they make millionaires. My advice to Jim, and he's a right clever little five-foot-seven Fisk University prodigy, is to keep on just as you have been going, but for heaven's sake cut out politics and put a soft pedal on pouring, and you will never be regarded as a disturber of the peace. By and by Jim will work up to a real automobile, and when he does its a handful of sawdust to a blind robbin of the Gloucester, Mass., species that he's got the cash to waste on it, because Jim Neall never flies farther than his bank account in spending money for useless things. He's one of those safe, sure plodders who believes a penny saved is a penny earned. Look at Jim Neall's house once, and you will go off and soliloquize to yourself—"that fellow is a wave-breaker," or in United States English, he's a hustler. \*\*\* "I have read somewhere or another, in Dionysious Helicarnassus, I think, that History, is Philosophy teaching by examples." So writ Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke, who, prior to becoming a mummified "has been," use to breathe the oxygen of life in merry old England from 1672 to 1751. Every time I read this sort of literary clam-chowder spiced with a sort of dill-pickle tartness, it makes me think of the Right Rev J. Milton Waldron, D. D. (Democratic Divine), the muscular preacher with a Celtic face and a sorrel top covering to a cranium that has no room for wit. Now I don't believe the Reverend ever read much history. If he has it hasn't sunk deep enough in his reason reservoir to furnish examples" of failures. The Rev. Waldron is one of those courageously" inconsistent men who gets one bite of a juicy surloin and forthwith imagines he has devoured the whole stake. Now and then he locks himself in his study and edites an epistle to the President, only to wake up the next morning to learn that he didn't know a frazzling thing about what he was writing. Now and then he reaches into the recesses of his jeans and filches a few hundred dollars to spend in organizing a band of voteless Negro constituents, who have an itching palm, to defeat the Republican candidate for President. There ain't many members of the National Negro Independent Political League who are as generous with their own money as Rev Waldron is with his—according to his statement. Of course there are some doubting Thomases who don't believe the Doctor spends his own coin, but you know every man has a right to tell his own story about the size and number of fishes he caught. Now just because Rev Waldron is a suicide in politics, and so narrow across the chest of his ideas that he can't tolerate a fellow who has the edge on him, don't think that he is a cornettassel. Of course I think, and there's a whole lot of people thinking the same dope, that a minister whose duty it is to save souls hasn't got any business wearing his soles out in politics. You never saw a minister who monkeyed in politics who didn't get the skirt of his religious garment all dabbled around the hem with conjectures and accusations. As Dorssey Foultz use to say, "no minister is fitten to mix in politics." But as a minister—just minister. I think the Rev J. Milton is prime. He's a vigorous orator, has a commanding presence, and makes you think of John McCullough in Virgintus, when he stalks across his pulpit. I agree that the Lord called him to preach, but I never was so loose in my charges as to accuse the Lord of calling him to do anything else. Some of us try to make a goat out of the Lord by charging a lot of things up to him, but when it comes to saying that the Lord called Rev Waldron to mix in politics you ain't playing the game as they do out in Deadwood—on the square—the Good Reverend has been persuading little baldheaded Roscoe Bruce without rhyme or reason, and being a minister, it has occurred to me whether or not he ever read that foolish injunction, writ sometime during Anna Domini: "He that is without sin let him cast the first stone" or "Do unto others as you would that men should do to you." It may be that Rev Waldron has an expurgated copy of the Holy Writ with these quotations cut out. If he has, I've got an old copy with everything in it, which I never use, I can lend him for a few days. Personally, Rev Waldron is a most gracious man, affable, and pleasing to converse with. It's only in politics that his better side gets covered with the barnacles of pessimism. A big, handsome fellow, standing six feet in his stockings, with a strong determined jaw, he looks a leader, and he would be just the same as four aces with the joker—highest deal in the deck, in a table-stake game, with all the others holding two pairs—if he would only confine himself to doing what the Lord wirelessed him to do—preach the Gospel. Take it from me, Rev Waldron is a gentleman, and a scholar, a man of great ability, but he's just a trifle short on judgment. My advice to him is to think a couple of few times of what old Henry St. John said—"History is Philosophy teaching by examples." This is the ninth inning, Doctor, and there's two down, and you are up with two strikes on you, and the score unteen to nothing in favor of the other fellow. WHAT · THE ST. LUKES ARE DOING ... Allen's Chapel, Garfield, D. C. was billed last Sunday afternoon with members of the Order of St. Luke and their friends. The Azara Council of the Order, which meets in Garfield, gave the representatives of other councils present a most hearty welcome and cordial reception. Mrs. Julia Maon Layton presided. She introduced Rev A. S. Patterson, who conducted the devotional part of the exercises. Mrs. B. B. Anderson, the district deputy, gave an interesting sketch of the work done in Washington and throughout the country where the order exists. Rev W. D. Naylor, pastor of Allen's Chapel, then made the speech of welcome, which was responded to by Miss M. A. Marte. The choir rendered good music. Instrumental and vocal music and readings and essays entertained the congregation, and everybody enjoyed the occasion. Those who took part in the exercises were: Miss Cecelia A. Cannon, degree chief of Azara Council, Garfield, D.C. Mrs. Martha Ellis, of Patience Council, Anacostia, D.C. Mrs. Elizabeth Gross, of Cecelia Council, 2006. Mrs. Fannie J. Shipley, of Prosperity Council, Anacostia, D. C. Mr Louis Taylor, of Taylor Council, No. 400. Miss Mary Morton, of Rosa Conley Council, 571. Council, 571. Mr. Alex S.

The famous literary society of London called the Savage club has traditional connection with Will's coffeehouse and the Mermaid tavern of early days. The reader of Mr. Watson's volume of history and anecdote relating to the club will come across in its pages incidental mention of things that recall names that are famous in our literature. How rich in associations a simple drinking cup may become is shown by the following: In 1902 there was brought to the club a most remarkable relic of which the lord mayor of London had recently obtained possession. This was a loving cup holding a pint or a little more which, as certain inscriptions testified, was at one time the property of Oliver Goldsmith. On Goldsmith's death it passed into the hands of David Garrick and thence to the possession of one of the literary and artistic clubs of the day. Then after an interval it passed into Dr. Johnson's hands, for one of the inscriptions engraved on its silver rim records that it was presented to Burke by his friend Samuel Johnson, doctor of letters, as a memento of Johnson's visit to Beaconsfield, which was Burke's home. The date of the presentation was 1770, five years after the death of Goldsmith and five before the death of Johnson. ESSEN'S BAKERY. Said to Be the Largest Breadmaking Concern in the World. The largest bakery in the world is located in Essen, Prussia, the home of the great Krupp gun factory. It is a vast building, in which seventy workmen, divided into two shifts, work night and day. Everything is done by machinery, says the Loudon Post. A screw turns unceasingly a kneading trough, into which are poured some water and ten sacks of flour of 200 pounds each. This machine makes about 40,000 pounds of bread each day, in the shape of 25,000 small loaves and 25,000 large loaves, produced by 230 sacks of flour of 200 pounds each. All the operations of breadmaking are performed in this colossal bakery. The wheat arrives there, is cleaned, ground and brought automatically to the kneading trough by a series of rising and descending pipes. There are thirty-six double ovens, and the workmen who watch over the baking of the bread earn from 8 to 10 cents an hour, making an average of 90 cents a day for eleven hours on duty. They have coffee and bread free; also the use of a bathroom, for they are required to keep themselves spotlessly clean and must wash their hands eight times a day. The Brown Rat. The best way to make a good clearance of rats is to turn a cobra into the place they inhabit. It will clear them out in an amazingly short time. But most people prefer the rats. Were it not for cats, owls, weasels and a few other animals in combination with man, in a short time the whole country would be one vast rattery, for the rate at which these animals increase is stupendous. They are without doubt one of the worst forms of vermin, but they possess one good quality. In a tight corner few animals are more courageous than the brown rat. Rats hard pressed have been known to fly at a man's throat. Two or three, secure in a little fortress with a small opening only large enough for one at a time to come in and go out, will defy a score of ferrets, and if one ferret with more courage than his brothers does venture to enter the lions' den he must look well to himself or he will never come out alive.-London Globe. Organ Pipes. The names of the different parts of an organ pipe are interesting. For instance, the air is forced in through a hole in the pointed toe of the pipe, goes through the flue (the slit cut in the side) and strikes the lip. In some cases it then hits the beard (a metal cylinder attached just below the opening) and rebounds against the lip, producing a double vibration. There is also a tongue, and the upper part is called the barrel.—Exchange. Faultfinding. Often the most unhappy people are those who have lost the art of admiration and become experts in the art of faultfinding. Beauty is everywhere, but they see it not because of the flaws somewhere below it. Faultfinders should turn their magnifying glasses upon themselves and there discover why they are not loved. Conversation. Conversation warms the mind, enlivens the imagination and is continually starting fresh game, which is immediately pursued and taken and which would never have occurred in the duller intercourse of epistolary correspondence.—Franklin. Dead Author. The society of dead authors has this advantage over that of living men—they never flatter us to our faces, or slander us behind our backs, or intrude upon our privacy, or quit their shelves until we take them down.-Colton. What They're Not Doing. When two women get their heads together in a parlor it's a safe bet that they're not discussing the weather.—Detroit Free Press. The wicked are always ungrateful—Cervantes. SPARE THE OLD THINGS. A Plea For the Preservation of Tokens of Love and Reminders of Days Gone By. Most everything is being sacrificed nowadays to the spirit of practicability. Old love letters are destroyed because desk room is needed. The spreading oak that marked for decades the turn of the road is sacrificed to give room to a modern electric sign that tells the same story. The baby's first pair of shoes, wee, dalnity and soft as they are, are thrown in the trash pile that there may be room in the top drawer for the powder box. All of this destruction of "auld lang syne" sentiment and the basis of reminiscence is chuck full of wrong. The most interesting place in or near Washington is Mount Vernon. The most magnificent square in Philadelphia is Independence hall. The most valuable spot in Texas is the old Alamo at San Antonio. Such places as these contain the story of American history, and the citizen who views and thinks while viewing—and no one can view without thinking—becomes instantly a patriot, likewise a better husband and a better father. Keep the old love tokens. Don't destroy the "old gray bonnets." Treasure the little shoes. Save youth's love letters. And we may not have as much room, but we will have more sweetness, and there will be more heart in the world.—Wichita Beacon. IN A BAILWAY SMASHUP. The Proper Thing to Do if You Have Time Enough. If you were a passenger on a railroad train that collided with another, jumped the track, ran into an open switch or fell a victim to any of the other misfortunes that railroad trains are heir to, what would you do or what do you think you would do? A writer in an engineering journal, after describing from his personal observation what most passengers do in such times of stress and peril—that is, "stand up and howl"—gives what he calls sound advice, which is simply "to drop upon the floor, preferably in the alley, or cling to the seat frame." That advice is not only sound, but simple. The trouble, however, is that not one person in ten can tell with any degree of certainty to what extent the same kind of mental demoralization that causes the volunteer fireman to throw mirrors out of the window and tenderly carry feather beds downstairs would possess him in such an emergency. The man who believes with absolute conviction that he would remain calm, cool and collected under all circumstances may be the very man who would make a mental aviation flight that would cause the records of the champion aeronauts to pale into insignificance.—Cincinnati Times Star. Wasted Ability. Mrs. Norton had attended the concert given at the town hall by Mlle. Faure, a young Frenchwoman whom the summer residents were trying to help, as she had lost all her possessions through a fire in the city studio, where she lived and taught. At the end of the concert the different opinions expressed by the villagers as to the exhibition of piano playing to which they had listened had no effect on Mrs. Norton. "I don't know whether she played too loud or whether her pieces were the best or not," she announced decisively. "All I know is that I kept thinking if I could roust out that butter fingered Clancy girl that's pretending to help me with my kitchen work and set that madem'selle down to shelling peas and beans and shucking corn I guess the boarders would have their meals somewheres near on time!"-Youth's Companion. Facts About Animal Structure The complexity of animal structure is marvelous. A caterpillar contains more than 2,000 muscles. In a human body are some 2,000,000 perspiration glands, communicating with the surface by ducts, having a total length of some ten miles, while that of the arteries, veins and capillaries must be very great. The blood contains millions of corpuscles, each a structure in itself. The roots in the retina, which are supposed to be the ultimate recipients of light, are estimated at 30,000,000, and Melnert has calculated that the gray matter of the brain is built of at least 600,000,000 cells. The Joined Fragments. Walter—What will you have, sir? Customer (looking over the restaurant bill of fare)—Permit me to coqitate. In the correlation of forces it is a recognized property of atomic fragments, whatever their age, to join, and— Walter (shouts across the hall)—Hash for one!—London Tit-Bits. "Duke, I'm sorry," said the millionaire, "but my daughter can't marry you." "Than I have loved in vain?" "Not wholly, duke. Here's $50 for you."

Work Has Begun—Opening Day. Speeches by Well Known Ministers. The National Training School for Women and Girls, located at Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C., begun its third session on Monday, October 6, with an enrollment of women and girls that completely taxed the capacity of the two buildings, and made it necessary for the President to rent another whole building in the neighborhood. Students are coming from everywhere. In the short time that this school has been in operation, it has been far-reaching in its work of training the women and girls of the race, and there are now thirty-one States and three foreign countries represented in the enrollment. The opening exercises, which were held at 3:30 P. M., were presided over by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, A. M., president. In her remarks Miss Bourroughs gave a brief outline of the work and the achievements of the institution during the past two years, as well as a plan of the work to be accomplished during this school year. One of the principles advocated by this young woman and which was forcibly brought out at this time was "Be prepared; opportunity may come, but it comes to the prepared individual. We have too many makeshifts now; the demand is for thoroughly trained workmen in all avenues of life." A letter from the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society, of which Mrs. Katheryne S. Westfall is secretary, was read, stating that three thousand, five hundred dollars is available from the society with which to build the much-needed and much-talked-of "Model Home," in memory of the late Secretary of the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society, Miss Mary G. Burdette. This colonial model home will be erected soon. Plans have been submitted. The donors only ask that the colored women properly furnish and equip the building. Enthusiasm ran high when the announcement of this gift was made. It was evident that others will be inspired to give largely. Special addresses were delivered by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., on "How a student may make the year resultful;" Rev. J. Milton Waldron, "The trained Christian worker as a factor in our church work." Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, "The conduct of students in public places;" Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., "The need of trained workers to supplant the make-shifts," and the speaking was closed by Rev J. Gray, of Baltimore, Md., who made some very timely remarks. At the close of the exercises, many pledged to help in a very material way, and pledges were received for money toward the erection of the girl's dormitory, the foundation of which is now being laid, while others pledged to furnish rooms in the new building and still others are making a substantial donation of canned goods to the institution on October 20th, which has been designated as "Grocery Day." The District Board, under the direction of Mrs. Emma Lewis Cabaniss, the local churches, and the ladies of the Calvary Baptist Church (white), Washington, D. C., as well as friends throughout the country, are uniting in the effort to make "Grocery Day" a blessing in material things. Friends were present from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Painless Extraction of Teeth Filling and Crowning Dr. Robert L. Peyton SURGEON DENTIST First Class Work.

Hard Cheeses' Lasting Qualities—Parmesan Is So Hard That Cutting Is Practically Impossible. The difference in cheeses is sometimes confusing to those who have not access to a large market. Edam, pineapple, Parmesan and Roquefort are hard cheeses. Neufchatel, cream and cottage cheeses soft. Genuine cream cheese is made from a rich cream thickened by souring or from sweet cream thickened rennet. Neufchatel is a soft rennet cheese made from cow's milk either whole or skimmed. Cottage cheese is made from sour milk without the use of rennet. Roquefort is a hard rennet cheese made from the milk of sheep, the name being derived from the village of Roquefort, in the southeastern part of France, where the cheese is ripened in caves or natural caverns. Edam is a hard rennet cheese produced in Holland and is made from unskimmed cow's milk Parmesan is an Italian cheese known for centuries in that country as Grana, the term referring to the granular condition of the cheese. It is so hard cutting is practically impossible, and we get it in this country grated in bottles. This cheese is made from skimmed milk. Pineapple cheese is said to have originated in Litchfield county, Conn., and is a hard rennet cheese made from cow's milk. The flavor of different cheeses is given by the method of ripening, due to the action of bacteria. Hard and soft cheeses differ mainly in the fat constituents and methods of manufacture, but most of all in their keeping quality, the hard cheeses keeping for a protracted time.-Good Housekeeping. MAKING A PICTURE LOVER. A Cynical and Caustic Filing at the English Art Patron. The general art patron in England is a brewer or distiller. Five and forty is the age at which he begins to make his taste felt in the art world, and the cause of his collection is the following or analogous reason. After a heavy dinner, when the smoke cloud is blowing lustfully, Brown says to Smith: "I know you don't care for pictures, so you wouldn't think that Leader was worth £1,500. Well, I paid all that and something more, too, at the last academy for it." Smith, who has never heard of Leader, turns slowly round on his chair, and his brain, stupefied with strong wine and tobacco, gradually becomes aware of a village by a river bank seen in black silhouette upon a sunset sky. Wine and food have made him happily sentimental, and he remembers having seen a village looking very like that village when he was paying his attention to the eldest Miss Jones. Yes, it was looking like that, all quite sharp and clear on a yellow sky, and the trees were black and still, just like those trees. Smith determines that he, too, shall possess a Leader. He may not be quite as big a man as Brown, but he has been doing pretty well lately. There's no reason why he shouldn't have a Leader. So irredeemable mischief has been done at Brown's dinner party. Another five or six thousand a year will exert its mighty influence in the service of bad art.—George Moore. To breathe properly take a deep, slow breath, another and another. Put both the hands on your ribs and see how they expand and contract as you breathe in and out. Put one hand on the low ribs in front and the other opposite it on the back. Feel how the back, swells as you breathe. There is a powerful muscle called the diaphragm that divides the chest from the abdomen. As the heart and lungs are in the chest, the diaphragm may be called the floor of the chest. It is fastened to the backbone, the ribs and the sternum, or breastbone. And when people speak of diaphragmatic breathing they mean just what we are doing now—filling the lungs with air and emptying them by the expansion and contraction.—Boston Herald.

BURN YOUR BRIDGES We Are So Constituted That When a Retreat Is Left Open We Are Apt to Turn Back. Young men often make the mistakes 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. "Will you hold this fort?" asked General Rosecrans of General Pierce at Stone river. "I will try, general." "Will you hold this fort?" "I will dis in the attempt." "That won't do. Look me in the eye, sir, and tell me if you will hold this position." "I will" said General Pierce, and he said. 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 about. "That's my cow!" he cried, running toward one of the cars. The traintmen 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." The order of the court was carried out, and the cow, in spite of its ten months' absence, took without hesitation the lane which led it a few minutes later into the peasant's stable. Chicago News.

The Cow Declared: 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. Maude 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 Scituate. It is ten miles by air line from Hanson to Scituate, 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 circumnavigate the world. It is notorious for having suddenly changed its mind on its course on the night of Nov. 27, 1808, 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. What pictures, what activity, how social, how it keeps up the talk! You are not permitted to forget it for a moment. How it responds when you nudge it! How it rejoices when you feed it! 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. "What's that noise?" asked the visitor in the apartment house. "Probably some one in the dentist's apartments on the floor below getting a tooth out." "But this seemed to come from the floor above." "Ah, then it's probably the Popleys' baby getting a tooth in!"—Catholic Standard and Times. Made It Lean. Teacher—Now, Harold, can you tell me what made the tower of Pisa lean?

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 sald: "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 lily 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?" "Nothing," said she, "except to borrow her opera glasses the day before they moved and keep them till the day after, so she couldn't get a chance to train them on their back room furniture."—New York Times.

A "new missing" word contest has just appeared. It is as follows: A good church deacon sat down on the pointed end of a tack. He at once sprung up and said only two words. The last was "it."

The Silver Lining "Oh, John," exclaimed Mrs. Shortcash, who was reading a letter, "our son has been expelled from college. 'nnt it awful?' "Oh, I don't know," answered Mr. Shortcash. "Perhaps I can pull through without making an assignment now."—Chicago News. The One Whose Branches, Usually Heavily Laden, Extend Over the Fence Into Your Yard. The next door fruit tree, growing so near the line that laden branches extend over the fence, has proved a source of untold spankings to the small boy, quarrels between otherwise good neighbors and even resort to the police courts. One is inclined to suspect that the original apple tree of trouble hung over a neighbor's fence. The cause of friction is, of course, the question of the ownership of or at least the right to take and use the fruit on the too widely spread branches. Generally this fruit is claimed by the person whose property is thus invaded, but if he asserts this claim to the point of gathering the fruit without permission he may feel the iron hand of the law, says Harper's Weekly. If he objects to the presence of the branches which extend over his property the owner of the tree must remove them. But if the owner of the tree applies for the fruit or asks permission to enter and take it the owner of the land over which the branches extend cannot refuse permission for entry for this purpose. If he refuses either to hand over the fruit or to allow the owner of the tree to enter and take it, then the owner of the tree may enter without permission, but he must use no force nor commit any damage in so entering. Certainly the most neighborly thing to do would be to divide that fruit. INDEXING BOOKS. The Custom Is an Old One That Developed Rather Slowly. The custom of indexing books developed gradually. Cleero used the word "index," but in the sense of a table of contents. Seneca provided some works which he sent to a friend with notes of particular passages. "so that he who only aimed at the useful might be spared the trouble of examining them entire." This was at least a partial "index" in the modern sense. Annotated, or at least explanatory, tables of contents seem to have preceded the index proper. Such tables followed the order of appearance of the subjects in the book itself. Alphabetical arrangement, which was the beginning of the real index, appears not to have been thought of until the invention of printing, and even then it spread but slowly. Erasmus was one of the first to provide his works with alphabetical indexes. The custom did not become universal until well into the sixteenth century. The first index to an English book is said to be that printed in Polydore Vergil's "Anglia Historiae," in 1546. An edition of this work published ten years later has an index of thirty-seven pages. Stories of Wellington and Blucher. I once met Wellington at dinner. He was then much aged, talked gravely and with great distinctions, ate but little, drank no wine and left early. He was a member of the Union club when I joined it, and I have heard a story that he became a member of Crockford's, the famous gambling resort, that he might blackball his sons if they became candidates. I remember a touching anecdote of how he and that old Prussian warrior Blucher me upon the field of Waterloo and mingled their tears over the bodies of the slain. The well known and much more probable story is told of Blucher that, having been entertained at a city darner and thoroughly enjoying its gorgeous hospitality, he delighted his hosts by his admiration of London, concluding, however, with the startling exclamation, "What a scandal city it would be to sack!"—from Sergeant Ballandines Experien "I Deat Think" Many correspondents have traced "I don't think" through many writers and speakers. But this writer, who has the habit of reading the Bible in bed the last thing at night, suddenly came upon the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke and the parable of the servant who merely did his duty: "Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded blin? I trow not." Now, the Greek words are simply these in modern characters, "Ou doko," which mean just "I don't think."

Tolstoy's Thoughts on Death. The fear of death is unnatural. The fear of death is the consciousness of sin. The fear of death enanates from the fact that people regard as life only a small part of it, limited by their own erroneous conception. Just as the owner of the fig tree knows the time when the fruit is ripe, so God knows when to call the righteous from this world. Strive to keep your life at a point where you neither fear death nor desire it—Tolstoy's "Cycle of Readings."

OLD LONDON LEGEND. The Tragedy Associated With the Church That Stands In the "Field of Forty Footsteps." The church in Woburn square, London, is said to occupy the site of the "Field of Forty Footsteps," to which a tragic legend attaches. The story dates from the days of Monmouth's rebellion. According to the version given in Mr. J. S. Ogilvy's "Relics and Memorials of London Town," two brothers fell in love with a woman who, either from callous vanity or fearing reprisals from the unsuccessful suitor, would not say which was to be the favored swain, suggesting that they should fight a duel and to the victor she would give her charms. They came from the town to this suburban field. The woman calmly sat down to await events. She had not long to wait, judging from the number of footprints, when one of the brothers fell dead, and as the victor approached she held out her arms to greet him, when, with a sudden revulsion of feeling for his brother's death, he slew her as she stood, and, turning the weapon, he drove it through his own heart. So they were found stiff in death with the footprints stamped in the wet clay, where they remained indelible through summer heat and winter frost; no green thing would grow, nor any man build himself a dwelling there. "Streets-were erected all round, but it was not until the nineteenth century that men took heart of grace and built a church there, when the consecration of the ground rolled back the curse and the memory of the legend grew faint and faded away. DOWN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD A Parting of the Hair From Which We've Partly Parted. What has become of our well known fellow townsman that used to brush his hair two ways from a line extending from crown to collar and swing the ends over his ears? He was a leading citizen. He sat in the next pew in front at church and always attended the shows. He worked in a bank in St. Louis and was mate on one of the Mississippi river steamboats. He was a floorwalker in a New York dry goods store and kept a saloon just off the main street. Usually he wore a cluster of diamonds with a little chain attached in his shirt front. He was a conductor on the day express, a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He practiced medicine and worked in the boot and shoe store. He had been to California and played cards for money. Well, he's still in town, although greatly changed. It was all the barber's fault. When he was in his prime and known to everybody the barber used to trim hair. Later he began to cut it. It wasn't long before our well known fellow citizen was nipped by the shears, his locks curled on the calf pinned around his neck and rolled to the floor, and there wasn't anything to part. When the barber's ruthless shears cut their way to the very scalp they killed a famous pomade customer, for the man that parted his hair behind always stood (or sat) for the things in the bottles which cost 10 cents extra.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Compliment For Him. She was eighteen and very shy, and she never had been in the city before. There was no one at Broad street station to meet her, and she looked about timidly for a cab. Her mother had told her to take a hansom. She did not see any hansom, nor did she know that the "crbbles" wore a livery all their own. She did not see a policeman either, so she approached a youth who was standing on the corner of Fifteenth street with her bashful question. "Please," she began, "are you a hansom man?" The youth raised his hand and twirled his mustache ingratiatingly, smiling with deprecating assumption of modesty. "I am so considered," he replied.—Philadelphia Times. Hunger:From the Liver Hunger. appetite, does not start from the stomach, as all believe and as you all feel when hungered, but the call for food really comes from the fleshes of the whole body, mostly from the liver, it seems, for people who have had to have their stomachs taken entirely from their body still have the absent old stomach growl and yell three times a day for meals, something like people having finger pains and pleasures in a hand that has been cut off for years—New York Press. A Stone's Throw. "The ancient Romans had a catapult that could hurl rocks more than a mile." "Now I understand it." "What?" "My landlord told me this house'was a stone's throw from the depot. He must have had it on his hands since the time of the Caesars."—Cleveland Leader. Cleverness and Cunning Cleverness and cunning are incompatible. I never saw them united. The latter is the resource of the weak and is only natural to them. Children and fools are always cunning, but clever people never.—Byron. A Money Maker Smith—He is not rich, and yet he makes a great deal more money than he spends. Jones—How can that be? Smith—He works in the mint—New York American.
