IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE A WOMAN'S WORK What Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is Doing A GREAT WORK FOR HER SEX NATIONAL TRAINING SHCOOL For Women and Girls—Great Work of a Great Woman—What a Representative of The Bee Saw, Etc. Certainly the most creditable work that is being done by colored women any where in the world, is at Lincoln Heights' in this city. Creditable because it is a necessity; creditable because it is being well done; creditable because it is far reching; creditable, because it was not inspired by an opportunity to secure educational aid through a beneficient outside gift; creditable because 'it. has filled a niche in the educational world that no other school is filling; creditable because it shows what the women of the race can do. The National Training School, situated in the Northeastern section of the city, on a hill of commanding altitude and unsurpassed beauty, on a tract of six acres, is owned by the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention. The organization has a large following in every State in the Union, and we might state in passing, that the women are not only building a great institution at Lincoln Heights, but they are contributing to African Missions and educating African and other students from foreign countries, who are to return to their homes and engage in mission work. We want to talk to you about this splendid institution that seems to have been spoken into existence two years ago. The grounds that are becoming more beautiful every day, were a waste of weeds and brush. Lincoln Heights was unknown, but my, what a change has come over the whole community, and the establishment of this institution has brought it all about. Not a house had been built on the "Hill" for quite twenty years, and home-seekers were not being attracted to the place, but the whole community is being transformed and awakened. In a year or two, Lincoln Heights will be the most beautiful and attractive spot about Washington. Schools of the right kind carry with them an inspiring, uplifting, awakening influence. We must bear in mind that this is the work of our colored women throughout the country, and we doff our hats to them, as they pass on, to take their rightful places by the side of women of other races. You will first be interested in what they teach at this National Institution. They teach everything that women should know, and they teach it thoroughly. The thing that impressed the representative of The Bee most is that the institution is presided over by a young woman, who is a product of the schools of this city. Her wonderful ability as a business woman, an organizer of women and a public speaker, has brought success to every effort undertaken by the organization of which she is the corresponding secretary. Nothing has failed; nothing has lagged; everything has moved forward, and that in a hurry. The student body of the Institution, reflects in the main, the spirit of the president. The very atmosphere at the National Training School is charged with activity, energy, perseverance and determination. The students reflect these traits in the performance of their duties, in the class room and on the campus. It is not often that our young colored women have an example of what can be done by themselves. There are two schools that are operated for colored women and girls, but they are presided over by members of the other race. The school at Lincoln Heights is the only school for our women and girls presided over by a colored woman. Because of the achievements of the president of this institution, the girls who are trained there, have a concrete example of how one may begin at the bottom and by earnest, persistent effort, make their way to the top. This is not the only lesson we learn. In looking over the daily program we were impressed with the fact, that THE MARRIAGE OF THE MISSING WOMAN VOL. XXXII NO 24 the training is practical and broad. It is not an industrial school in the ordinary sense of the word; it is a Vocational Training School that insists upon each student, taking along with her life work, a thorough training in English. It begins with the primary and carries them through the college preparatory. Above all, it looks well to the moral development of each stuednt. The Bible is the standard classic. They have a strong missionary department, preparing workers for both home and foreign fields. It does model Sunday school work, and then, it takes us out into that great, big, industrial world, and teaches housekeeping, home-making, domestic science, plam sewing, dressmaking, millinery, hair-dressing, manicuring, shorthand, type-writing and music. Plans are now on foot and appeals are being made for money with which to build and equip a laundry, to teach laundering. One is impressed, on entering the institution, of the scrupulous cleanliness of every room. The floors are bare, and are scrubbed once or twice a week. The kitchen gets a daily bath. The girls who go from the school, will carry lessons of cleanliness that they have learned so thoroughly that they will apply them in their own homes. We were impressed, too, with the furnishings, which are good, but very simple. The beds have felt mattresses; double sheets are furnished; they are unbleached, but as clean as soap and water can make them. The institution furnishes the towels, and each student is allowed as many as she needs. You would wonder how they take care of the things. Are they lost or destroyed? No, not on your life. They count, follow up, collect and distribute so that very little is lost. The students are taught to be careful and must pay promptly, for all breakage or damage. "Are the students careful in their dress and careful with their persons?" we asked the lady in charge. "If they are not when they come here, they are before they leave," was the reply. "We look after them, we follow them up, we examine them from head to foot, any moment in the day; we go through their laundry bags, their trunks, and it is really easier to keep clean than it is to be annoyed to death. Some girls have been loose in their habits and we find it necessary to give them much attention, but you can put it down in your note books that they will have to both take care of their hair and look neat, if they stay on Lincoln Heights," said the lady in charge. And when we looked over the student body, we said to ourselves, "They are well acquainted with the bath tub and the comb and brush has done its best on these heads, that looked better to me than any number of heads that I have seen at one time, for many a day. Well, you will want to know something about the buildings. When they took possession two years ago, there was one building, with twelve rooms and basement, on the grounds. Another building, with chapel and dormitories was erected, and the first building enlarged, and now there is in the course of erection, a building, with dining hall, another chapel, dormitories and baths. Last term rooms were rented in the community, but the student body has grown so fast that the president found it necessary to rent a whole building this year, instead of rooms here and there. You will want to know next about the students. They come from twenty-nine States, the District of Columbia and four are from foreign countries. We were telling you about buildings and you may think that they have plenty of room, but let me remind you that standing room is at a premium. Every available space is taken, and the builders are being pushed to complete their job so that those who have made application, may be accommodated. The school is too far out to have the benefit of the city water supply, but a water system is being installed, and the students are to have the benefit of the modern improvements, which will add greatly to their convenience and comfort. People who help themselves will be helped. Miss Burroughs started out with the idea that she wanted the colored women of the country to pay for the land and to run the school two years, without calling on (Continued to page 4.) FACULTY IN PART MISS NANNIE H BURROUGHS. President of the National Training School for Women and Girls, who will Speak at Bethel Literary, Tuesday, November 28th. TWEEDGE AND APPLICATION OF What They Teach at the National Training School A GREAT MEETING THE NATIONAL RELIGIOUS TRAINING SCHOOL. Distinguished Men Present. Judge Pritchard Returned from a Tour in the Interest of the School. Dr. Shepard to Tour the South. Coming Minister's Meeting Act. Durham, N. C., Nov. 14.—The recent meeting of the advisory board of the National Religious Training School was quite an event in this city. In the afternoon before the board meeting an enthusiatic public meeting was held at which time such prominent characters as Judge Peter C. Pritchard, United States Circuit Court, Gen. Julian S. Carr, Hon. E. M. Broughton, Rev. Dr. Walter Liggitt, pastor First United Presbyterian Church, Steubenville, Ohio, and Col. Jas. H. Young, of Raleigh, made short but inspiring addresses. These addresses were full of optimism and clearly demonstrated the fact that this unique institution was a great factor in bringing together the leading factors of both race from all sections of the country to work for the reaching of the masses of Afro-Americans and make this remarkable educational propaganda so effective that the negro in Africa will be greatly helped by his American brother. Judge Pritchard had just returned from a tour in the West in the interest of the school when he attended the meeting of the board. In addressing the student body and citizens of Durham, he emphasized the statement made by him during his recent tour of the North in interest of the school, that, "The colored people of North Carolina who have been upright in their dealings, circumspect in their daily life, avoided the bar room and other places of dissipation are accorded all the rights to which they are entitled under the law and possess in the highest degree the confidence of the white people of that state." In revealing the absolute necessity for such an institution as the National Religious Training School, he in part, exclaimed, "No education adds to the permanent progress of the race unless it changes the view point of the man from a low to the higher plane, hence such an education must be founded upon truth and morality. The religiouos education of the negro is intended to change his view point of life, to give him higher ideals and to make him a better citizen. There is no conflict between the religious education of the negro and the industrial education nor the higher education, but I believe that a blacksmith who has been given a religious education at the same time he has been given the industrial, will add greatly to the safety and to the happiness of the community to a greater degree than if he had been educated solely for his trade. On the one hand, you have people who are conscious that they have been trained to make the world better. They begin it by making their homes better and they realize that they owe a debt to the community, and they must help in making of good citizens because they realize that God created them for a purpose and that they can serve Him when they serve their fellowmen. On the other hand, the man who his simply not been trained in this walk of life, but trained to work, is little higher than a brute, and after the work is over, he adds nothing to the growth of the community, nothing to the peace of the home, nor to the prosperity of the country." The members of the board were surprised at the substantial progress that the institution was making, and highly commended Dr. Shepard for cree manner of showing their appre the work that he is doing. A conciation of the great work being done by President Shepard is exhibited by the board unanimously voting that a campaign begin at once for an endowment fund of $100,000, and the members attending the meeting of the board, led by the generous Gen. Carr subscribing $500, raised by their personal subscriptions $3,000. The other subscribers on the board are: Judge Jeter S. Pritchard, Hon. N. B. Broughton, Rev. Dr. Walter Liggitt, ing $300, was followed by Messrs. Col. Jas. H. Young, led the colored contingent of the board by subcrib John Merrick, C. C. Spaulding, Drs. A. M. Moore, J. E. Dellinger, S. L. Warren, Chas. H Shepard and Prof. Pearson. The board authorized President Shepard to make a tour of the Southern colleges in January relative to getting facts at first hand for his extension work. In a few days the institution will send North a mixed quartette of well trained voices. These are cultured singers, and will undoubtedly bring prestige to the school and race. The ministers' conference, which is to meet at the institution for one week July 6-13 inclusive, without expense to the ministers while in Durham, from present indications will be a great event. This is an interdenominational affair, and seems to meet the approbation of Afro-American ministers throughout the country. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON WINS. Sunday-School Congress Accepts Invitation to Meet at Tuskegee, June 5th to 10th, 1912 in its Seventh Annual Session. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 14. At a regular meeting of the Boards, which have direct charge of the Sunday-school and young people's work of the National Baptist Convention, held in this city, it was decided that the seventh annual session of the Sunday School Congress should meet at Tuskegee Institute Ala., thereby accepting from a vast number of invitations offered by some of the leading convention cities of the United States the one extended by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. At this meting, which was held in the office of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and which was presided over by Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., full expressions were made concerning the great success that has crowned every meeting of the Congress Movement. Among the places that have entertained the Sunday-School Congress during the past six years have been New Orleans, Nashville, twice, Jacksonville, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., and Meriadn, Miss., but the indications are that the Tuskegee entertainment will be more elaborate and that the meeting will be more largely attended than heretofore. The time of the meeting has been fixed by the Boards as the first week in June. The meeting is to open on the first Wednesday in June, remaining in session for six days, which will include Monday of the following week. Letters and communications were presented at the Board's meeting, showing the deep interest manifested throughout every section of the country in the Congress Movement. The Secretary of the Sunday-School Congress, Henry A. Boyd, presented a report, showing that nine hundred eighty-one schools were represented at the Meridian meeting. Some of these schools were very small, but the interest was as great with them as it was with the large schools. Tuskegee Institute will be a bee-hive of Congress workers, as they will go to Tuskegee from every portion of the United States. I can start any honest or energetic boy or girl in a pleasant and profitable business if they are willing to do a little work after school hours. For information write Mr. A. R. Stewart, Tuskegee Institute, Ma. Ninety churches in this city co-operated with the Religious Forward Movement by holding a week of prayer in this city. bac BACK VIEW OF CAMPUS. An Opportunity. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERALINTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) That the state of Maryland will fight the report of the commission appointed by the Supreme Court, which recommends that the State sacrifice thirty-six square miles of land to West Virginia, is considered certain. Prof. Bernard Fraenkil, the noted throat specialist, died last week in Berlin. He was consulted by Col. Roosevelt in May, 1910, regarding persistent throat affections which annoyed the American ex-President during his European tour. A reunion of the blue and gray took place November 13, in Petersburg, Va., at the unveiling on the Crater battlefield of the handsome granite monument erected by the State of Massachusetts to its soldier and sailor dead who fell there in the civil war. Gov. Foss, of Massachusetts, and Gov. Mann, of Virginia, participated in the ceremonies. The Commonwealth of Kentucky won a victory over the Southern Pacific Company, when the United States Supreme Court decided that the Commonwealth had the right to tax the company on the latter's steamers plying between New York and New Orleans. Moving picture show promoters received a blow when the Supreme Court of the United States decided that an exhibit of pictures based on the scenes of a copyrighted book may constitute an infringement of the copyright on the book or the reserved rights to dramatize. Boston's milk war was a subject of argument before Interstate Commerce Commission. The independent milk producers claim that Boston and Maine and other New England railroads discriminated against them in Boston in freight rates. Twenty-five years of work among the lepers of Molokai Island, Hawaii, was celebrated by Brother Joseph, formerly Ira Barnes Dutton. When a boy he became imbued with deep religious sentiments and took a course of theology in the Episcopal Church, but was converted to Catholicism. He has lived continuously at Kalawao, is strong and active, and has escaped contracting leprosy. Excavators exhumed twenty-five skeletons where a sky-scraping business structure will be erected. They were bones of persons buried in old Trinity Church Chapel in 1800. The twelfth victim has been slain in Atlanta, Ga., by the mysterious "Black Jack." All the victims have been mullattoes, and have been slain and mutilated in the same manner. Thus far the police are absolutely without any clue as to the identity of the murderer. Motion pictures are to be issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in its Red Cross seal anti-tuberculosis campaign. The film story deals with the refusal of a tenement owner in New York to clean up the tenement. the contraction of tuberculosis by the occupants and owner's wife. Finally it shows where a check for $150,000 was given for the recovery of his wife. The War, Navy, Agricultural and other executive departments have forwarded exhibits for the second annual insular fair to be held at San Juan, Porto Ricó, early next month. John G. Scofield, chief clerk of the War Department, will be the Government's representative at the fair. The sum of $851,609 is asked of Congress for improvements and maintenance of the Government Asylum for the Insane during the ensuing year, in the report of Surgeon Sternberg and Superintendent White, submitted to Secretary of the Interior. They claim the asylum needs high walls to prevent escapes, and additional buildings.

The Galveston News (white) re- cently had this to say through its correspondent at Brenham, Texas. “Miles Motley, a colored farmer who owns 2 large Brazos River farm near Chapel Hill, was in Brenham Thurs- day, and when asked how many acres he ‘had in cultivation, modestly re- * plied, about six or seven hundred in corn and éne thousand in cotton.

Jack Fuller, who is the fortunate possessor of over 1,000 acres of rich, bottom land bordering the Rud River. . Mr. Charles Duplantier, who re- sices at Buntville, La, is ‘also a very “large planter.

C. A. building. Although calledsupon to raise only | $5,000, it was announced at a commit- ice mecting last evening that subscrip- tions totalling $6,109.25 had been se- cured im the four days’ canvass. The enthusiasm was unique and so pleased were those in charge of the fund that it was decided to proceed with the solicitation of subscriptions until they reach $8,000, . A few weeks ago, when the commit- tees representing the various Y. M. and ¥. W. C. A. organizations met, J. A, Metcalf was requested to assume the colored project. Spirit of Unanimity. It was stated that the international committee would give $12,000 toward the- project, if the colored : people sould contribute $5,000. Mr. Metcalf got busy at once. Sixteen teams of from five to ten men,each were form- gd._ All colored churches, at Mr. Met- Galf’s insistence, were united to co- operate in the project. Colored peo- ple_ only were solicited. E. E. Ward, colored transfer man, | appeared at last night's meeting and Jasked the amount of the largest sub- scription. When informed, he at once | said he would double it. "Outside of this, there are no large subscriptions: Alll lines of business, trades and_pro- fessions are represented in the list of donors. oe ‘i “never saw anything like the spirit the colored people’ have displayed,” }said Mr, Metealf. “There was not a jar or inharmonious note.

Compact and a Quaint Letter, * Like many another great man, Mark ‘Twain was fond df children. He never outgrew childhood, and he always. chose yung playmates where they were to be found. He formed curious societies of these girl friends. Back ip the nineties. when he was living in Europe, he ereated a club which was to consist of one (only one) gir! in each country of the globe, the duty of said member belng to write occasionally to the chief officer, who faithfully replied to these random and ‘far faring mes- ‘sages. Of course these little girls were swept into womanhood presently, but even to the last years of his life the ‘member who signed herself “France” remained faithful to the law. Another club of girls, little girls, be- came one of thé chlef interests during his final years. It had its beginning in Bermuda during one of his frequent visits to those happy islands. It was called the Angel Fish club, after a gorgeous swimmer of those waters, and he gave to each member an angel fish pin as a society badge. It was a suc- cessful club, and on bis return to America he elected other members, enongh to make twelve in all. His home at Redding, Conn., Storm- field, bad been originally named In- nocence at Home, and as Angel Fish headquarters Innocence at .Home t always remained. Members with thelr parents visited him there, and the bil- Mard room, where the “fishes” were |Ukely to spend most of thelr time knocking the balls about, under the chief member's instruction, was called the Aquarium, and gay prints of many Bermuda fishes were hung along | the walls to carry out the iden. Each ‘ member had the privilege of selecting one of these as her patron fish and of {dentifying it with her name. It was In Rermuda one day when be was walking along the beach with one of his angel fish members that be pick- ed up a small iridescent double shell, delicately hinged together. He sepa- | rated it and handed his companion half. “You will be going away from me pretty soon. Margaret.” he sald, “and growing up, and I won't know you any more, I shall see a great many Margarets, and now and then one of j thera will say she is my Margaret, but iT will say, ‘No: you resemble my Mar- }garet, but you are bigger than my | Margaret, and 1 ean't be sure.’ Then ] ; will take out this shell and I will say ‘If you‘are really my Margarets you will have the other half of this shell and ft will fit exactly” ‘Then It she has the shell and it fits I shall know that it fs really my Margaret, no mat ter how many years have gone by oF how much older she has grown.” All this he sald very gravely and earnestly, and the little girl took the shell thoughtfully and promised te keep it always. Next morning when she came running up to meet him ox the hotel veranda he looked at het questioningly. " “You look like Margaret,” he sald, “but I can't be sure. If you are really my Margaret you will have a shell 1 gave her once—the mate to this one He got no further. ‘The talisman wa: promptly produced, and it fitted ex actly.

When I was in New York six weeks ago I was on a corner of Fifth avenue and raw c small girl—not a ble one—start_ across from the opposite corner, and 1 exclaim: ed to myself fostully. “That ts certainly my Margaret." so I rushed to meet her. But as she came nearer I hegan to doubt and sald to myself, “It's a Margaret, that In plain enough, but I'm half atrald it Is somebody else's." So when T passed her I held my shell so she couldn't help but wee It. Dear, she only glanced at it and passed on, I wondered if she could have overlooked it. It seemed best to find out, 80 J turned and followed and caught up ‘with her and sald #eferentially, “Dear miss, I already know your first name by the look of you, but would you mind telling me your ‘other one?” She was vexed and said, pretty sharply: “It's Douglas, if you're so anxious to know. 1 know your name by your looks, and I'd advise you to shut yourself up with pen and ink and write some more rubbish. I am surprised that they allow you to run at large. You are likely to get run over by a baby carriage any time. Run along sow and don't let the caws bite you.” ‘What an idea! There aren't any cows on Fifth avenue, But I didn't amile, I Aidn’t let on to percelve how uncultured sho was. She was from the country, of course, and didn’t know what a comical blunder she was making. ° Margaret, with her mother, called when they returned to America, When the cards were brought to lim he took- ed at hers and said: » “Well, the young lady, her name | SHOCKED THE GUIDE. The Visitor at the National Capitol Was of tha Kind That Come . Prepared to Kick | A big man with a flerce, bristling gray beard and wearing a broad brim med sloucb bat marched down the main corridor of the capitol, closely followed by a gulde at a dogtrot ‘They had inspected ‘statuary hall and the rotunda and looked in at the cham ber of the supreme court, and the vis- itor bad made no other comment on the sights shown bim than to utter an occasional grunt, snort or growl. The big man paused at the end of the corridor and jerked his head to- ward a carpeted passage. “What's them burglars doing to- day?” he demanded. “The senate 1s not In sesston, sir," said the guide in a shocked voice. * After the visitor had departed the guide sat down on his chalr in front of the statue of Daniel Webster and mopped his heated brow. “That's one kind that comes here,” be said. “Te have all kinds, but bis style 1s the hardest to deal with. Called the senate burglars—you heard him—and he kicked at everything else I showed him. That kind comes pre pared to kick. They ain't got no pa- triotism at all, and a United States senator ain't no more to them than a doorkeeper. Why, I'm‘afrald to take men like him {nto the supreme court. Likely as not they'll say something disrespectfa! right out loud. Do you know what that one sald when I show- ed him stetuary hall? He says, ‘Whc are all these crooks?’ ‘Then he wanted to know how much all them statues cost the government and who gut the rakeoff. I told him they were given by the states, and he sald that was once when the states put one over. “You wouldy’t think,” sald the guide with a sigh, “that patriotic Americans could come here and be so callous about the things they see.

Years ago, when the electric tele- graph was a new Ides and a mystery to the masses, there came trouble one Saturday night in the Bank of Eng- land. The business of the day bad closed and the balance was not right. ‘There wad a deficit of just £100. It was not the money, but the error, that must be found. For the officers and the clerks there could be no sleep until the mystery had been cleared up. All that night and all Sunday a force of men were busy; money was surely gone from the vaults, but no one could discover whence. On the following morning a clerk suggested that the mistake might have foceurred in packing for the West In- dles some boxes of specle that had Ibeen sent to Southampton for ship- ment. Fils chief acted on the sugges: tion. Here was an opportunity to test the powers of the telegraph—lightning against steam, and steam with forty- elght hours the start. Very soon the telegraph asked a man in Southamp- ton, “Has the ship Mercator sailed?” ‘The answer-came back, “Just welgh- Ing anchor.” “Stop her in the queen's name,” flashed back the telegraph. “She fs | stopped,” was returned. “Have on deck certain boxes (marks sixen), welsh them carefully and tet me know the result.” telegraphed the chief. : This order was obeyed, and one box was found to be somiwhere about one pound and ten ounces heavier than Its mates—Just the weight of the missing sovereigns. “All right. Let the ship go!” was the next order. The West India house was debited I with the £100 and the Bank of Enz: |!aea was at peace again.—Harper’s Weekly. Hallucinations of Henbane. Henbane bears a remarkable reputa- tion for creating the most extraordl- nary hallucinations. Dr. Houlton re- lates that some monks who ate the roots by m{stake “for parsnips trans- formed thelr monastery Jnto a lunatic asylum. One monk rang the bell for mating at midnight, and of those of the community who attended some conta not read, others “fancied the letters were running about like ants,” and some read what was not in their books. Even the exbalations trom these pretty but very poisonous flow- ers produce these’ weird effects.—West- minster Gazette.

Of all the queer clubs that exist in the world you will Gnd some of the queerest in Lancashire, England. One lof these is called the Henpecked club. As the title indicates, its members are all mates, and you can come across & club in almost every Lancashire town of any size. ‘The meetings are held, as a rule, in some bar-parlor, and the discussions are about members and .often non- members who have the reputation of being henpecked. When evidence bas been brought to show that a particular man has allowed bimself to come un- Jer his wife's thumb they tax him with It In the place of meeting. The presi- dent delivers a lecture on the danger of a husband permitting his wife to usurp bis position as master, and when the others have indorsed his remarks the person to whom the speeches are addressed 1s warned that If he con- tinnes to stand the henpecking he will be made the subject of a demonstra- tion. ‘The annountement that a “henpeck- ea” club demonstration is to take place is recelved in the district with mixed feelings. The men applaud it, and the local police, recalling similar displays that led to. trouble, become a ttle anxious. On the evening appointed the members of the club meet at a public house, where they arm them- selves with all kinds of household utensils; then, led by concertina play- ers or a tin whistle band, they start out and march along the crowded streets of the district. : One man carries a broom, another a swab, a third a shovel or a coal scuttle or a fendér or a“poker. Fire tongs, blackledd brushes, washtubs, buckets—everything used in the home, in fact—is carried shoulder high. As they march along to the music in front and the discordant clanging of thelr baggage they sing snatches of songs in which the name of the victim oc curs often. : The mission of the verses,” which have been spectally composed for the occasion by a local poet, is to hold up the henpecked one to ridicule, the rea. son for the demonstrators bearing the household goods being, of course, to remind. him that, having fallen under petticoat government, he will quickly become the slaves. ‘When they reach the cottage where their victim resides they form a circle fn front of the door and sing and clang their fenders and coal scuttles more loudly than ever. ‘The man inside 1s invoked by the president during a balt in the pro- gram to “be a man” and join his brethren. Sometimes if he looks upon the affair as more of a joke than any- thing else he does their bidding. and they reform and march to headquar ters with him at their head. Usually however, his wife appears instead with a bucket of soapy water, which she promptly throws over the demon strators, or she quickly causes a clear ance with a hose pipe. To the onlooker it Is just an exhibl tion fpr laughter and nothing more but ocbind the scenes there is general: ly a lot of trouble and heartaching A good number of these ~henpecked’ demonstrations have sequels in police courts.

A Bullet Stopped the Game. | Alfred de Musset, the poet and dramatist, was almost as fond of chess as of poetry. He played nearfy every night at the Cafe de la Itegence, and even the revolution of February, 1848, dié not divert him from his habit. He turned up ax uswal and, finding no one there to play with, in- sisted that the walter should make a game for bim. The walter did so, though a fusillade was rusiug in the street outside, and all went well until a musket bullet smashed a mirror tn {mmediate proximity to the board. ‘Musset was ansfous to continue fn spite of the interruption, but his op- Ponent would not. “With monsieur’s permission,” he sald, “we will adjourn the game until after the republic has been proclaimed.""—Paris Gaulois.

All those who are marching under the banner of socialism, or who are leaning towards socialism are deluding themselves with the belief that socialism is a new doctrine, and the latest out-of the shop of political isms. The fact is that socialism, including the initiative, referendum and primary, are old and retrogressive issues. Twenty-four hundred years ago. Pericles formulated and induced Athens to adopt socialism as its form of government. That city, under this form of government, assumed responsibility for the welfare of all its citizens. The city owned lands, forests, mines, factories, ships, commerce, etc. It gave its people work, and, if it had not work to give, it gave everyone a living. The people voted on every law, act and proposition. We will cite an instance of the referendum, or recall, which the West is now advocating, to show how old it is. A noble citizen by the name of Aristides was so honorable and so just in his relations that he became known as Aristides the Just. His enemies in sufficient numbers petitioned for his banishment and a vote was ordered. Another instance was that of Pausanius, who had lost an arm in defense of Athens. He, too, was marked for banishment, or recall as it is now put, and a vote was ordered. Athens still exists as the capital of Greece, but this wonderful scheme passed out of existence 2,300 years ago. Now it is hailed as a new creation. Let us illustrate this primary, in view of the contention in some quarters for a national primary law. It is so simple, so economical and impressive. It goes right down to the people, gives every man a chance and cuts out all possibility of fraud or bribery. In one western city it cost only $6,300 to nominate a candidate for mayor, and out in Wisconsin it cost $107,760 to nominate a United States Senator. Now, if we had a national primary law, and Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. Morgan wanted to be a candidate for President, would not their chances be good, considering how simple and economical it is and how many incorruptible voters there are? And the champions of socialism, of the initiative, referendum and a national primary law think their scheme is a new one, when it is 2,400 years hoary. Well has it been said, "there's nothing new under the sun." PLAYING MONKEY. There is too much monkey playing in many of these vaudeville theaters. What the colored people want is high-class shows, and not so much ragtime. There are a few of these theaters that present to the public pictures that are edifying and instructive. Leg shows may be appreciated by men, but they are certainly not beneficial to young ladies who have every sense of modesty. Leg shows may be alright for a variety theater where men go to enjoy a cigar, a glass of beer or some other intoxicant. This is an age that is supposed to educate the masses. You can't educate the masses by showing them vulgar and indecent pictures, or women in nude costumes. Nothing is more beautiful or more pleasing to the eye than polite vaudeville, of a high class order. The Negro player is not up to the standard in morals. The stage can be elevated, just the same as you elevate your homes. Colored managers of shows are not careful enough in their selection of men and women. The late Bob Cole and now Mr. Rosa- mond Johnson endeavored to elevate the stage. These two actors and managers paid big salaries, and their help were men and women above the average. A man or woman can be just as respectable upon the stage as he or she can off the stage. There are some vulgar men and women upon the stage. who never attempt to improve their morals. Playing monkey upon the stage doesn't elevate the profession. The death of Mr. Bob Cole has been a great loss to the race. He and his partner, Mr. Johnson, were certainly acquisitions to the profession. Their plays were high-classed. There is a difference in Geo. Williams and his late partner, Mr. Walker. In referring to vaudeville, The Bee means the Bowery acts, such as are seen upon the stage in this city. INSPIRING CAREERS. There has been much discussion of late about the purity of the pulpit, and the laxity in morals of some divines has had a tendency to make sinners justify their repudiation of the church. Rev. Francis Grimke is one minister whose whole life has been as pure as the white-driven snow. Never has a 'suspicion rested upon him, and never has he leaned to the right or to the left of the straight path of ministerial uprightness and Christian living. We, that is some of us, may differ with Dr. Grimke in his insistence upon the closest observance of the Ten Commandments, and the tenets of his church, but none can say that he is, or has been hypocritical. He follows the path he believes is marked out for him, and adheres strictly to his Bible and to the doctrines of his church. His life is one as God gives him light to see it. Rev. Dr. Grimke's life, as gentle as a child, as pure as the new born babe, and as open as a book, is one that cannot help but command our respect, our admiration, and inspire us onward. Were all ministers as strict in their observance of their creeds and of the Bible as Dr. Grimke, and were the garments of all ministers as free from defile as are the garments of the pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, there would be no occasion to ever pen a line derogatory of the men of the cloth. In the life of Dr. Grimke the young colored men of this city will find all that is necessary to lead them in and up the path of righteousness, and all that is necessary to inspire them to right living and right preparation for life here below and life beyond. COLORED NURSES. The citizens of Washington, numbering ninety thousand or more see no reason why there are no colored nurses appointed to look after colored children. There are three white nurses whose duty it is to investigate the poor and needy white people who have. babies. There is no colored foundling home or hospitals for colored babies. Colored babies are not permitted to be taken into the children's hospital under two years of age. The Bee would suggest to the Commissioners to recommend, in their message to Congress, the establishment of a children's hospital and also a provision for three or four colored nurses. The death rate in this city among colored people is appalling. It is because the colored babies are not properly cared for. The parents of these babies are too poor to enable them to give their babies proper nourishment. The Bee believes that the Commissioners will carefully look into this appeal and take some steps to remedy this evil. A ward in the Freedmen's Hospital could be set aside for colored babies until other provision can be made. The colored churches should take up this all-important matter and push it to a head. Mrs. A. M. Curtis is very active in such a movement, and it is the duty of every parent to assist her. LLOYD TO WALTERS. Mr. Lloyd, the chairman of the Democratic party and the head and front of the Democratic party, in a letter to Bishop Alexander Walters, who sends a copy to The Bee for publication, the Negro's leading journal, says that it is not true that the Democratic House of Representatives discharged every colored man and appointed white men in their places. The letter is very interesting, and should be read by the people of this country. Now will Mr. Lloyd, as well as the distinguished Bishop, explain to the country why the Democrats of the State of Maryland voted for an amendment to disfranchise the colored voters of the State and were defeated? Was it not the sensible people of the State and not the Democratic machine that defeated those diabolical amendments to take from the colored citizens their political rights? Does the few spitton washers' positions out balance the constitutional rights of the Colored Americans? Are offices everything that the good Bishop is contending for? Are not his political rights more sacred to him than a few offices? Mr. Lloyd's letter is all right to read to a set of ignorant Negro Democrats, but the more sensible colored Americans would rather enjoy freedom at the hands of the Republican party than to be disfranchised "Jim Crowed" and discriminated against. These are the policies of the Democratic party, of which Mr. Lloyd is chairman and Bishop Walters an ardent advocate. CHIEF GRIFFIN The Bee,regrets that Chief W. R. Griffin, of the Reformers, has fallen into the error in denouncing the man who has been his friend and has done so much to make the True Reformers in this country a success. The Bee is a friend to the organization and Chief Griffin, and no one knows it better than he. It was Mr. W. H. Lewis who asked The Bee to defend Chief Griffin against the attacks of his enemies. Mr. Lewis did not ask for the appointment of a receiver, and it is in bad taste for any one to make this charge against him. The Bee takes this opportunity to inform Chief Griffin to check his horse and don't go so near the ball of dynamite, because if he touches the fuse some one will be injured. Chief Griffin, take warning before it is too late. Some one is loaded at this end. "No horse was ever so sure footed but what he stumbled." A hint to the wise is sufficient. Everybody is for Mr. Lewis at this end of the rope. NEGRO DEMOCRATS When Mr. Cleveland was elected President of the United States, Negro Democrats could be seen by the dozens. Many of the applied for places held by colored Republicans, and were appointed to them. Mr. John H. Butcher, at the Government Printing Office, had several applicants for his place. The most prominent was the so-called Negro correspondent. Mr. Butcher held his own even under a Democratic Public Printer, Thomas H. Benedict. Not a better man than Mr. Benedict would be found. Although a Democrat, he gave the Negroes a square deal. This same Negro correspondent is now endeavoring to dictate to the country what colored Republicans shall do in the coming campaign. The Bee has some interesting matter concerning many of the Negro Democrats under the Cleveland administration. MISS BURROUGHS. On the first page of The Bee will be seen and read with interest the history of the National Training School for Women and girls. It is the greatest institution in the country for young women. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the president, deserves the plaudits of the people for the establishment of this great school for her sex. This young woman is a native of this city, and by hard work and perseverance she has won her way to the topmost round of the ladder. She should be encouraged and the institution should be supported by all true lovers of humanity. The Bee congratulates her for her excellent work. BIAS. The Bee is informed that a man by the name of Bias has been expatiating for several nights to the audience at Howard Theater, against The Bee. If it is the Bias that The Bee knows it will be well for him to weigh his words before he is introduced to the readers of The Bee. SUPPORT YOUR OWN Since there are so many "Jim Crow" theaters in the city, The Bee would advise the colored people to support their own theaters. There is no reason for ninety thousand-colored people to support moving picture theaters that have been set apart by white men for Negroes and bar them out of their theaters down town. Let us support our own. The New York Age rises to nominate George Bruce Cortelyou for Vice President as Mr. Taft's running mate. Now if Vice President Sherman is not to run again, what's the matter with Franklin MacVeagh? He is big enough, able enough, and would command the colored troops without loss of a man. Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock has made an enviable reputation as a man who knows how to run his department on an economical basis. Until he became Postmaster General it had been believed for years on years that it was impossible to run that department without a loss of millions. He has shown how to run it at a profit. The man who can turn a big deficit into a profit is a success in any business enterprise. Incidentally, that article of Prof Kelly Miller's in last Saturday's Washington Star, on the Booker T. Washington decision, was one of the clearest cut, unequivocating and strongest articles Prof. Miller ever wrote. He struck right from the shoulder, and put his whole soul in it. For grammatical construction, splendid English, and incisiveness it was characteristically Milleresque. A pull all together, that's the stuff. The election is a year off, and the beginning of the campaign nine months off. While one Negro is knocking another Negro, Race Prejudice is reigning blows upon all of us. John C. Darcy, who is campaigning for the G. O. P. in several States the week of the campaign reports a glorious outlook for Republican victory in 1912. The Hiawatha Theater is the favorite amusement place of the best people in our city who enjoy clean shows in a show house owned, controlled and conducted by Negroes. Pennsylvania has not yet punished any of the persons who burned the Negro at the stake, and will not. The real criminals in that burning at the stake were the officers of the law who had neglected their duty. The white press of the country, North and South, was a unit in coming to the prompt defense of Dr. Washington after that questionable decision rendered against him in New York. All the white newspapers declared the Ulrich charges increditable, and Ulrich and his paramour unthinkable witnesses. MUSICAL UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE BETHEL LITERARY. Washington's annual musical season is now in full swing, and the music loving public is being entertained with many fine recitals by the various musical organizations and individual artists, of whom Washington may boast a great many. Of those entertainments already announced for the next few weeks, the musicale to be given under the auspices of Bethel Literary on the 5th of December promises to be one of the most brilliant events of the whole season, as a large number of the most talented performers and soloists of the city will participate, each one representing a different organization or institution. This recital has been arranged by Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, whose wide acquaintance in musical circles enabled her last year to conduct a similar entertainment for the benefit of the Y. M. C.

Anderson's position as colored leader in this state. It was a royal battle between Mr. Woods, who has superceded Chief Lee as head of the Negro democracy and Mr. Anderson, but Anderson showed that the negro vote in this state trusts and follows him because he is square and because he has helped them most. In Mr. Anderson's assembly district, which is a large Negro district, and which the Democrats carried last year by a good majority, through the good work of Mr. Anderson and his colored lieutenants it elected a Republican assemblyman last Tuesday by over two thousand majority. It appears that Chief Lee of the United Colored Democracy has been distroned, and Woods is his successor to bask in the favor of Tamminy. Dr. Claxton. Hon. Philander P. Claxton, U. S. Commisioner of Education, will address the Home and School Association of the Myrtilla Miner School, 17th and Church streets, N. W., Monday, Nov. 20th, 1911 at 7 p. m. Dr. Claxton comes from Tennessee and will certainly say some interesting things. Public invited. READ THE BBB. Public Men And Things Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I've been looking in the colored newspapers for an "ad" of the Howard Theatre, but aint seen any as yet. I did see the Howard's "ad" in a white paper though. Now I aint no impresairio, and I never managed or had anything to do even with a motion picture theater, but I do claim kinship to consistency. I got what little newspaper experience I have under the late and lamented Ed. Cooper, and ever since have been a friend on reading colored newspapers. I like 'em all, and aint got no fight with any—want to see them all prosper. But for my life I can't see how Mr. Thomas, who says he's the real owner, can consistently ask colored patronage for his house and not reciprocate by patronizing other colored business enterprises. If he wants to advertise, he can use the white newspapers if he likes, and as he has done, and if he wants a lawyer, he can hire a white lawyer, as he has done, but he ought not to be too insistent on wanting colored people to attend his shows. Colored newspapers may be all right with him, if they run free notices, free boosts of his enterprise, but he aint exerting himself in recognizing their advertising columns at so much per inch. There are three colored newspapers here, but I haven't seen his "ad" in any one of them. It may be that my glimpses are on the blink and I can't see. Now, Mr. Thomas, if you sure is the real owner of the Howard Theatre, and want colored patrons, cause you can't get white patrons for a colored show house in Washington, you ought to, just to be consistent, recognize the colored newspapers. At least some of them, and I don't care a snap which ones, because I'm just figuring on the principal of the thing. Now another thing. There ought to be some unity among colored newspapers here and elsewhere, just as there is unity among white newspapers and other professions. Every fellow can get out and hustle to beat the band to boom his own market stand, but there aint no use carrying around the gloom flag for the other fellow. I've found in my life that it don't cost one copper, cent to be on good terms with the world, and that while now and then a fellow has to draw out the single barrel criticism gun and shoot a few 22 caliber cartridges, there aint no use in putting your whole feeling into the game. That old saying you can catch more flies with molasses than you can with vinegar comes pretty near being sound doctrine. Now I aint got any newspaper training, and never got a regular salary in my life, out of a newspaper—just got promises. Cooper was a peach on promises, and Chase can give you the past tense of promise as well as the future perfect tense. But colored newspapers have to discount promises just because some colored readers wont pay for their paper, and some colored amusement advertisers will use the colored newspapers for all the bull-cou they can get published free, but when they want to pay cash for publicity they hustle over to some white paper and hand them the money which colored patrons left at the box office. Now this aint no square deal, and here's where colored newspapers ought to get together and agree on a policy for such things. \*\*\* Now while I'm articulating on newspapers, something I don't know much about, except to grind out about a column or so of sage stuff, I want to dwell a few minutes on that industrious correspondent who runs a colored news bureau, R. W. Thompson, familiarly known to all us old Pent and Pencil Club fellows as Dick Thompson. I see this old college chum of mine is now doing stunts for the National Union, a publication what exploits the National Benefit Association which pays for same. I overheard a bunch on the Avenue Colorado-Madura—that's Your street, rapping Dick the other day for no reason of his own. One of the men, who is a $700 a year man in the departments, said Dick was rapidly getting stoop-shouldered carrying the Treasury Department around on his shoulders. Another fellow, with a slightly mauve complexion, said Dick was getting awful pompous and too important to be confined in the corridors; that he was expecting him to have nervous pacification of the heart because of having to add to his duties as messenger the duty of advising the executive and cabinet officers and the world just how to proceed. Of course these fellows were plain knockers. Now Dick Thompson may imagine, at times, that the universe rests on his shoulders, and he may write a lot of speculation, at times, that bears all the ear-marks of a super-fine immagination, but at that the Indiana boy is a right clever sort of a fellow. He's always been a good booster, and like our late Ed. Cooper of fond memory, has spread a lot of printer's ink on some personally-suspected big men, and I opine, (opine is a classy word) now and then the personally-suspected big men have slipped him a dollar or so which he didn't feel it was incumbent upon him to mail to the newspapers he represented. But Dick's a writer for revenue, just like all other sensible fellows who are correspondents. Now he never likes to knock anything but The Age and Fred Moore, and he incases his knocks against these two mundane sphere existents in suggestions rather than in accusations. Like a certain centenarian, he's got the platform habit, and feels if he amt 'o seat on the platform he and the country has been ignored. He may appear pompous at times, and too important a personage to be outside of the diplomatic service, but the fellow doesn't mean it. He's a harmless as Ophelia's eccentricities were, as generous as the Virginia Cafe is with its star boarders, as good natured as Charley Prickett, and as anxious to boost as any other fellow what's got an idea lodged back in his distilled gray matter that mbebe he can land up higher by salv- ing everybody and anybody. Dick has his faults, and they are noticeable to the inmates of an asylum for the blind but he also has some mighty good points, and they out-class his weak ones. I've seen better writers, but none more industrious and loquacious and willing. As a correspondent he's bang up, but as an "ittorial" writer he lacks several points of being a Timothy Fortune. Dick's a fellow who likes to spread the Mexican salve of commendation and hang wreaths of immortals around the craniums of lots of fellows, who will be forgotten when the ink's gets dry. He's awfully busy just now planning ahead the work for the president and the next chairman, I know, but take him all around and through and through, he aint half bad. He's a mighty likable fellow to talk to and read after. Dick wouldn't hesitate to write himself up fulsomely and then hand himself a couple of dollars for the write-up just to show he's no respector of persons. There's a whole lot worse fellows than Dick Thompson, and a whole lot that couldn't run in his class when it comes to good nature and helping a brother negrate over rough places. If he will just drop some of the vexious duties that he's imposed on himself, such as telling in advance what the president will and ought to do, and telling the national chairman a year in advance how to run the campaign, and just stick to his lighter duties, and keep a stiff upper lip, and that adorable good nature of his will continue to be as attractive as Ada Walker wearing a sheath gown of atmosphere in the saloma dance. As an industrious correspondent, you have got to hand him the banner. WOMAN'S WORK (Continued from page one.) white friends for help. Her suggestion in this connection has been carried out, and now, after two years of unparalleled growth, she is compelled to put up buildings and to make extensive improvements, and in this effort she is going to have the help not only of the colored people of this country who will support those who make good, but of white friends, who have always helped those who help themselves. In response to her appeal for the Model Home, the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society has decided to erect as a memorial to their late secretary, Miss Mary G. Burdette, a home that will be used as an object-lesson in teaching our girls how to plan, build, furnish and take care of a home of their own. The money for this building is in hand, and a committee has been appointed to co-operate with Miss Burroughs in the construction, and in a few months it will adorn the campus of the institution. The corner stone of the building that is now in the course of erection will be laid on Sunday, November 19th. You have been invited to be present. The laying of this corner stone will be significant in that it is the first time at the Capital of the Nation, when the women throughout the country, have unitedly made possible, the erection of a building, to be used for educational purposes. This new building is to be called "Pioneer Hall," in memory of Lott Carey, a Virginia slave, who bought his freedom and went to Liberia as a missionary to his own people; in memory of John Jasper, whose work following the emancipation and up to a few years ago, was most marvelous, and successful; and then in memory of William J. Simmons, one of the organizers of the National Baptist Convention, and the leading spirit in the organization for a number of years. The building will cost seven thousand dollars, and The Bee hopes that the District of Columbia will be most liberal in its contributions to help pay the debt. The corner stone has been presented by the Missionary Society of the Second Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson is pastor. The people of this city must stand by Miss Burroughs for the work's sake, and then because she is our very own. MAJORS AND MINORS By Miss Florence E. Brown, School Reporter. The president is full of plans. That "Grocery Day" scheme brought us a whole lot of good things. The churches and individual friends were called upon to give us cans of corn, tomatoes, peas—in fact, anything that this large student body that can eat three square meals a day, and all that they can get between times, and sleep without rocking, and digest without the aid of a physician. We are thankful to all the individual friends and to the following churches, for what they put into the barrels: Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. Brooks, pastor. Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Norman, pastor. Second Baptist Church, Rev. Bishop Johnson, pastor. Liberty Baptist, Rev. I. N. Taylor, pastor. Baptist Church, Rev. Burke, pastor Shiloh Baptist church, Rev. Milton Waldron, pastor. Enon Baptist Church, Rev. J. I. Loving, pastor. Our girls wanted to be quite certain that something to eat would be forthcoming, and so they took their baskets and called upon a number of friends in the city. Nobody refused to give some kind of canned goods or groceries. Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, our energetic Field Secretary, did splendid service in collecting groceries. Mrs. Whitfield just simply knows how to do things, and she likes to do them. Her life and service is an inspiration to the young women in the school. The new building is going up and the question in our minds is, "How can we get into it?" The president says that the student who makes the highest marks in scholarship, department and duties, will have the pleasure of enjoying those beautiful rooms and bath tubs that you don't (Continued to page 5.)

There were several new faces to be seen. Much business of vast importance to the community was accomplished. Tuesday night, Nov. 14, 1911, Arthur Carroll, aged 17, accidentally shot and probably mortally wounded Lewis Troutman. The shooting occurred in the District of Columbia. Carroll is a citizen of the District of Columbia. He was stopping temporarily with his sister, Mrs. Phillip T. Watkins, a citizen and property owner in Fairmount Heights. The sympathy of the community goes out to the parents and friends of young Troutman and Carroll. Messrs. R. S. Nichols and J. F. Armstrong went to Upper Mariboro, Md., Tuesday, Nov. 14, on official business relative to the public school at Fairmount Heights. While there they visited School No. 1, in District No. 3, Mariboro. They found the school in a very prosperous condition, under the management of Mr. J. Scott, principal, and Miss L. V. Cross, assistant teacher. Special mention should be made of the very excellent way in which Miss Cross managed and imparted knowledge to her 60 bright interesting boys and girls. She would be an honor in any of the schools of the District o. Columbia. The young people of the First Presbyterian Church, assisted by Mrs. I. C. Coles and Miss Louise Marshall. and the members and co-workers in the church, gave an enjoyable entertainment and concert at said church Friday night, Nov. 10, 1911. The affair was favored with the patronage of the entire community, and everybody seemed to be happy. Rev. R. A. Hart is having his residence nicely painted. Mr. H. E.

On Monday evening, the 13th, the Round Table Entry Club of eighty or more secretaries of all St. Luke councils in the District, held a very interesting and beneficial meeting. In answer to a call issued by the Deputy, Mrs. Bessie B. Anderson, at the St. Luke Building, at the close of which Mrs. Anderson extended a cordial invitation to all present to join her in giving a surprise to one of her official staff, Miss Mattie Bowen, vice president of the St. Luke Hall Association, of Washington, D.C. All arrangements having been made by Mrs. Anderson, whose mission it seems to make others happy, at Mrs. Cecelia Branham's, 937 Florida Avenue, where the crowd met and gathered in others awaiting their coming. From there they proceeded to the home of Miss Bowen, 961 Florida Avenue Northwest, only to find her comfortably lounging with thoughts of the morrow and not of her birthday. The crowd began singing on entering, and it was some time before the honored guest of the evening could be recohled to her stormy fate. Refreshments were served by the party, and some of the gentlemen present were called upon by Deputy Anderson to eat to the health of Miss Bowen. Hon. W. D. Johnson, M. H. E. Barnet, Mr. M. M. Peace, Capt. W. D. Edwards, and others succeeded in letting the guest know just what she was to all who knew her. Miss Bowen responded, as only Miss Bowen can. Mr. John H. Tubman presented, on behalf of Orion Council, 556, a beautiful token of their love and appreciation. Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Garner came in just in time to join in a hearty hand-shake of congratulations, and a pleasant good night. WOMAN'S WORK (Continued from page 4) have to "tote around before and after using." The girls are trying their best to come up to the standard, but I tell you, they will have to get a move on them, for the standard on this "Hill" is mighty high, and few there be who will ever approach it. The leaves are falling; the wind is blowing; the air is crisp; it is delightful on the "Hill." We get the breeze from every angle. We would like to get some coal from every friend. It takes a lot of coal to keep us warm, and we wish some of the many friends who come out here and admire the delightful "Hill" and its surroundings, would remember that it is a little bit colder up here than it is down in the city, and that a few tons of coal and a few blankets would add greatly to our comfort. The Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society is manifesting its interest in our training school, not only by sending representatives from time to time, to see us, and by furnishing the Dean of the Missionary Training Department, but by giving us a Model Home, in which we may learn just how to make a home for ourselves and how to keep it. The students are very happy over the thought that they are going to be model home-makers when they get out into the world, and that they are going to learn the art during their school days. Our Literary Society meets every fourth Friday evening. An interesting program is always presented, and you and your friends are invited to come out to the meetings. The Missionary Society holds its monthly meeting the third Friday, and the Temperance Society on the second Friday. Last week we were fortunate enough to have the Rev. E. O. Taylor, who represents the National Scientific Temperance League. He gave a most interesting, illustrated talk, on the manufacture and effect of alcohol. Some people do not like to bathe very often. Once a week, once a month or once a year, will do, so they say, but if you have these kind of notions when you come to the Training School, you had better get them out of your head, because if you do not bathe yourself you will get bathed. The president has charge of the Bathing Department Talking about hair—well, they have the hair fever on this "Hill." They are not bothered about the quantity nor the quality of it, but you will just simply have to keep it looking right; little or much, good or bad, you will have to wash it and keep it combed and brushed every day in the week. Miss Burroughs says that the education that does not go all through you and make you a new creature, is not worth having. She believes in the "Reforming," "Transforming," and "Comforting" process. If you get into this educational machine crooked, you must get out straight. Well, it is rather strenuous until you get used to it, but this is my third year in the machine, and I like it hugely. Scrub? Yes, the whole place has to be scrubbed and kept in order. No dirt and grease spots on these floors. We are all being wonderfully helped; we are getting the right kind of notions into our heads and the wrong kind out of them. We are learning to put first things first. Well, these teachers certainly keep on our track. Dodge them? Skip classes? Not unless you walk yourself to death, to keep out of their way. The other day a young woman did not know her lesson in psychology: She ran and dodged and hid, until finally she gave herself up, saying that it was easier to recite than to hide from the teacher in charge. We have been called upon to do quite a deal of singing in and about the city. Our lessons are so hard and our teachers so exacting, that we really haven't the time to learn a song. Concerting is certainly easier than studying, but they tell us out here that we will have to get our lessons, concert or no concert. Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, of St. Louis, Mo., has been with us for two weeks. She has been called upon business men and merchants, and as a result of her efforts, several have given meats and provisions. Mrs. Bennett is a good hand at the soliciting business, and we do hope that she will be able to return to the city and give the president some more help in providing food for the many hungry ones. Talking about appetites, these girls can out eat farmers. When they come they say that they have always been so delicate, and that they are very light eaters; in fact, their parents state that is one of the reasons why they should not pay as much for board as some other students. They are light eaters and great workers, but we wish you could be here after the second or third meal, to see them put away baked beans, cornbread, cabbage, turnips, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, rice, apples, fat meat, and in fact, anything that they can get their hands on. Whenever we see that the one with the small appetite has enrolled, we see that she gets the dish last because if ever she gets it first, there will be nothing left for the rest of us. They say that the water and air is responsible for this change. We do not know the cause, but we know that the change takes place, and that very soon after they land. We told you at the beginning of the "Majors and Minors" that the president always had some new scheme, and that all of them were good and practical. Well, have you heard about that Lincoln Arch scheme? If you haven't, just hold your breath; we are going to have something beautiful out here. The campus is to be improved from one end to the other. The Agricultural Department has promised the hedge, and before the close of the spring, our campus will be the most beautiful place, around Washington. If you do not believe it, come out in May and see; but, we were talking about that Memorial Arch. Just wait a few weeks and you will hear about it, and it will strike you as just the thing that should be WE SAVE YOU MGNEY THE CHARITY ECEPTION You and your friends are cordially invited to become patrons and be present at the WHAT?

Did you hear about the "Hand Laundry" that is to be built near the grounds that are to be used for our tennis court? That will be a striking combination—a hand laundry and a tennis court. There is a little stream at the foot of our "Hill" that is to be improved and made very picturesque. On the acre of land around which it flows, will be the tennis court and hand laundry. Well, that laundry is to be a "poured building," two stories in height and fifty by one hundred and fifty feet. We do need the laundry in which to do our own laundry, and then we can do work for other people and help the institution and help ourselves. Some Things They Are Going to Do. The National Training School is growing very rapidly. They are being forced to build faster and larger than we first planned. The coming of so many students to receive special training to do special work, has forced us to build and improve. Little buildings and limited improvements will not do; we must build largely. First—A Model Home has been given us and will be erected in a few months. Second—A laundry must be built. It will cost quite five thousand dollars. Third—The campus must be improved, and the improvements already planned will cost quite five hundred dollars. Fourth—a granite arch, as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, must be erected. The National Training School must be a model school for girls, and since it is the only one of its kind, we feel that members of the race and friends interested in the uplift of the race, will see that they have the buildings and equipments that are needed to do the work so essential to race uplift. No investment that can be made at this time, will mean more to the womanhood of the race than an institu- 11... About Prescriptions.

MR. CHASE IN RICHMOND. Many Social Functions Shown Him. Richmond Va., Nov. 13—Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Jr. of Washington, D. C., is in the city, having arrived here last Friday evening, Nov. 10. He is one of the graduates of the college department of Howard University and is regarded as one of the brightest in his class. He received much social attention for the little time that he remained in the city. He left Sunday evening for Lynchburg, Va., where he will remain until Thursday. WAS ONCE A DEMOCRAT. (From the New York Age.) R. W. Thompson, who holds down a $900 messengership in Washington, is greatly concerned about who will manage the campaign a year hence. Mr. Thompson, who is in the classified service, will perhaps not, be allowed to write political stuff and hold his job in the Government service. This man Thompson must not forget that the people have not forgotten that he went to Washington, on his first appointment, as a Negro Democrat, and if the Democrats should happen to win next year he perhaps would get back into that party over night. Men like him who live in glass houses should be careful. People do not regard him near as big as he regards himself. If Bre'r Thompson don't keep quiet we will have to call his attention to the 55th chapter of Psalms and 20th verse. Free Information.

C. no-1-3-m The Romantic Story of the Origin of the Earl of Leinster's Coast of Arms. Most of the wild animals have a place in heraldry, and many strange and impossible creatures, such as griffins, dragons and unicorns, have been invented as emblems of daring and valor. But the donkey and the monkey have not been so used, except in one instance, where the monkey has been admitted to the ranks of titled nobility. The story of this adoption is told by Mr. Curtis in his book, "One Irish Summer." On the Leinster coat of arms are three monkeys standing with plain collar and chained; motto, "Cromaboo," "To Victory." This is the only coat of arms. I am told, that has ever borne a monkey in the design. It was adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald in 1316 for romantic reasons. While this Earl of Leinster was an infant he was in the castle of Woodstock, which is now owned by the Duke of Marlborough. The castle caught fire. In the confusion the child was forgotten, and when the family and servants remembered, him and started a search they found the nursery in ruins. But on one of the towers was a gigantic ape, a pet of the family, carefully holding the young earl in his arms. The animal, with extraordinary intelligence, had crawled through the smoke, rescued the baby and carried it to the top of the tower. When the earl had grown to manhood he discarded the family coat of arms and adopted the monkeys for his crest, and they have been retained to this day. Wherever you find the tomb of a Fitzgerald you will see the monkeys at the feet of the effigy or under the inscription. SPENDTHRIFT ISABELLA. A Sight That Checked Her Royal Extravagance For Awhile. We are accustomed to think that the day is long past when a sovereign could oppress and offend a whole kingdom by personal extravagance. But the late Isabella of Spain belonged in spirit to the sixteenth century. An incident of her reckless career—which ended in the loss of the throne—is noted in Munsey's Magazine. She spent money, pouring it out like water, at a time when the treasury was nearly bankrupt and when the proverb "Poor as a Spanford" was far too true. All her best advisers urged her to practice economy. Very few of them succeeded, and these only for a short time. A certain chamberlain of hers once hit upon a plan to make her realize how enormous were the sums that she was spending. Passing through the hall of the palace, she was surprised to see a vast heap of silver pieces, resembling the contents of a great bin of wheat, but piled up in the middle of the floor. The queen summoned her chamberlain. "What is the meaning of all this money?" she demanded of him. "Oh," he replied, with a low bow, "this is merely the amount which I have brought out to pay the bill of your majesty's glovemaker." The queen colored and then laughed, and for several months she was less extravagant in her expenditures for clothes. E Pluribus Unum. The country is indebted to John Adams for its national motto, with an Englishman of note sharing in the honor. It seems that while Adams was minister to England Sir John Prestwick, an eminent English antiquary, suggested to him a good motto to represent the union of the American colonies. Adams at once was taken with the idea, which he transmitted to Charles Thompson, the secretary of congress, who on June 20, 1782, reported to that body his design for a government seal. In this the Latin legend "E Pluribus Unum" was to be borne on a ribbon held in the beak of an eagle. Just where Sir John got the idea is not certain, but it is a fact that the motto was in use on the cover of the Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1730, and it may have struck his fancy by its applicability to the situation then obtaining in America. New Zealand's Glaciers The great size of the glaciers around Mount Cook, in New Zealand, has been often remarked. The Tasman is eighteen miles long, the Murchison ten miles, the Godley eight miles, the Mueller eight miles and the Hooker seven miles. Most of these glaciers have moraines of exceeding roughness, but the approaches to them are not steep, as is usually the case with European glaciers. The southern Alpine snow line is only a little over 7,000 feet. Glacially polished rocks are rare, and in many ways the mountains are singularly different from those of central Europe. A Natural Mistake "I was just telling our friend here, Molly, that it was storming on the day of our marriage." "Surely not, Hiram! The weather was perfectly lovely!" "Well, well! I don't know how I got so mixed up about it; probably because it's been storming ever since!" Atlanta Constitution. A Fish Story. "There are as good fish in the sea as were ever taken out of it," remarked Small to Young, who had been refused by Moneybag's daughter. "Yes, I know. But they are not goldfish." Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors—Voltaire. Metastasio, the Celebrated Italian Poet, Was an Unusually Eccentric Man. His Life in Vienna. Metastasio (1098-1782), the celebrated dramatic and operatic poet, spent fifty-five years in Vienna with the Martines family without ever learning German or wishing to learn it. Besides his utter indifference to all speech but Itallan, Metastasio possessed many peculiarities of character. None might mention death in his presence. Those who alluded to smallpox before him he made it a point not to see again. In all his fifty-five years in Vienna he never gave away more than the equivalent of $25 to the poor. He always occupied the same seat at church, but never paid for it. He took all his meals in the most mysterious privacy. His greatest friends had never seen him eat anything but a biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing would induce him to dine away from home. He never changed his wig or the cut or color of his coat. Metastasio was to have been presented to the pope the day he died and raved about the intended interview in the delirium of his last moments. Mrs. Plozzi (familiar to readers of Boswell's "Life of Dr. Johnson" as Mrs. Thrale) collected these particulars from the ladies of the Martines family, with whom Metastasio was so long domesticated without speaking or understanding a word of their language from first to last. ETIQUETTE IN SIAM. On Hands and Knees Before the King Was Long the Custom There. Perhaps the most revolutionary reform carried out by the late king of Slam was the abolition of the arbitrary rule of etiquette which forbade an inferior in rank to raise his head above that of a superior or even level with it. The inferior must not even pass over a bridge while a superior was underneath it, nor must he enter a room in an upper story while a superior was occupying a room beneath it. Servants approached their masters on hands and knees. This custom is by no means obsolete today in spite of the royal edict, for many of the powerful nobles who live far away from the court still enforce it. In 1574 the king held a large court, at which no one present presumed to appear otherwise than on hands and knees. It was at this audience that the edict forbidding the custom was read to the prostrate multitude. They there and then rose and stood like men in the presence of their sovereign for the first time on record. Since then there has been no prostration at the royal audiences. But if a superior stops to speak to an inferior in the street the latter will still bend on lower his head in some way as a mark of respect.—London Saturday Review. Spoiled In the Making Behold, when a man on a troller car removed his hat the other day little Willie observed that he was bald-yea, very bald, for not a single hirsute rambler trailed over his shining pate. But when it came to whiskers the bald party was right there with the iliacs. He had whiskers in bundles, whiskers in stacks. In fact, he had enough whiskers to start a rat factory and make a fortune. "Say, mamma," finally remarked Willie, turning to his mother, "just look at that man there." "Hush, dear," returned mamma. "He will hear you. What's the matter with him?" "Everything is the matter with him," replied the youngster. "When the angels made him they put his head on upside down." —Philadelphia Telegraph. His Blunt Critic. Irving Bacheller was introduced one day by a mutual friend to a western mountaineer. "Mr. Bacheller," exclaimed the friend to the mountaineer, "is an author of repute in the east." "Oh, yes," drawled the mountaineer "I know of him. I was locked up in my cabin here by the snow two winters ago, and I only had two books to read the whole five months, your book sir," he said, turning to Mr. Bacheller, "and the Bible, and I read them through several times." "Indeed!" said the author, a smile of satisfaction wreathing his face. "Yes, sir," continued the old mountaineer, "and I never knew before how interesting the Bible was."—St Paul Dispatch. Grenada Was Bought Chcian. The Island of Grenada, in the British West Indies, was bought by the French from the Caribs by a solemn treaty in the middle of the seventeenth century, and the price paid was two bottles of rum. Esau's mess of potage was a good stroke of business by comparison. The Caribs soon regretted having sold their birthright and vainly tried to get the island back by force. It is now one of England's most prosperous colonies in the West Indies. So Absurd. Youth—Look here! This horse 1 hired from you runs on to the pavement every time he sees a motorcar.

The Social Settlement In calling, attention again to the urgent needs of the colored Social-Settlement, we do so the more readily because of the really earnest efforts now being made under the direction of the new president, Dr. John R. Francis, to put the whole enterprise on a well sustained basis. We should take particular pride in sustaining Dr. Francis and his energetic co-workers, because they are working unselfishly and along practical lines to help refute the charge that we do not, as a race, give proper support to such work in our mudst, and for the direct benefit of the unfor-unate in our own race. It is not enough that we give of our dollars, but we should give personal service as well. We should visit the Settlement, and encourage by our presence the good work carried on down there'by the ladies who are giving their whole time to the work, and for very inadequate compensation. It was a fine thing for Mrs. West and Mrs. Bruce to assume the responsibility personally of raising a fund to insure the prompt payment of the salaries of the two lady workers at the Settlement, and we should faithfully uphold them in their efforts. It is equally meritorious in Mrs. L. B. Moore to undertake the mammoth charity reception which she has planned in aid of the same cause, and we should liberally support that project, also not alone by individually purchasing tickets for it, but by persuading others to do the same thing. Let us 'remark that the good book contains no truer axiom than this: "He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord." The particulars of the charity reception will be found elsewhere in this paper, but special attention is here called to the following extract from one of the circulars sent out by Mrs. Moore's Committee.

"Tosti used to tell an amusing little story of feminine persistence," says Harold Simpson in his book, "A Century of English Ballads." It was during one of his busiest mornings, with a long list of singing lessons to be got through, that a knock came at the door of Tosti's flat. His valet was ill, and so Tosti went to the door himself. A lady, a stranger to him, stood on the threshold. "Signor Tostl?' she inquired. Tosti bowed. "Oh,' said the lady, 'I am singing your song, "My Memories," at Manchester tonight, and I want you to kindly run through it with me.' "Madame,' answered Tosti politely, but firmly, 'I fear it is impossible. I have two pupils with me now, and a third is waiting in the anteroom, while others will shortly be arriving.' "But you must!' the lady persisted. "I am sorry—' began Tosti again when he suddenly received a violent push backward and the lady walked into the studio. "Tosti followed, protesting. After a long argument, which threatened to become heated, the lady snapped out: "Very well; I shan't sing your song, then!" "Madame,' said Tosti, taking her by the hand, 'I am infinitely obliged to you.' "The lady gave one look at him and fled." When Lawyers Are Quiet. One George Wilson, a lawyer, who had much litigation, in some of which he was personally interested as a party or as a trustee, finally passed away, and a short funeral sermon was delivered by a member of the bar in the presence of a few old personal friends. The lawyer told how the old man had been abused and maligned, but that, in fact, he had helped the poor and unfortunate often and was not a bad man. On returning from the services au old lawyer was asked by another lawyer about the services and what was said. The old lawyer replied, "For once old George could not file a demurrer or motion to any of the proceedings which had taken place." The lawyer who made the inquiry replied, "Well, this must be the first time George did not move for arrest of judgment."—Green Bag. Wagner as an Acrobat. Ferdinand Praeger related an incident of a visit to Wagner at his Swiss home. The two men sat one morning on an ottoman in the drawing room talking over the events of the years. Suddenly Wagner, who was sixty years old, rose and stood on his head upon the ottoman. At that moment Wagner's wife entered. Her surprise and alarm caused her to run to her husband, exclaiming, "Ah, Richard. Richard?" Quickly recovering himself he assured her that he was sane and wished to show that he could stand on his head at sixty, which was more than Ferdinand could do. A Hiccough Cure.

Social Clinic Established A free clinic to be operated for the benefit of the poor has been organized as a part of the Social Settlement on L Street, between South Capitol and Half Streets, and will be opened to the public on and after Wednesday, November 15, from noon to 1 P. M. daily. Funds for the support of the clinic are being received by Dr. Ionia R. Whipper, its organizer and physician in charge, who will publicly acknowledge all subscriptions received. The following have already subscribed: Prince Hall Chapter, O. E. S., $3.00; Gray and Gray, druggists, $2.00; Mrs. J. L. Newman, Mrs. B. J. Walker, Mrs. J. M. Simms, Miss D. L. Ball, Mrs. J. O. Morrison, Miss M C. James, Mrs. S. V. Holly, Miss Mary Cromwell, Miss Josephine Weston, Mrs. N. B. Hewin, Dr. Minnie A. Crews, J. A. Cobb, and G. H. DeReef, each $1.00; Mrs. Alice Lucas and N. H. Thomas, each 50 cents; cash, 50 cents; and Dr. C. H. Smith and Richard Venning, each 25 cents, a total of $20.00. Dr. Whipper deserves unusual commendation for her energy and public spirit in organizing and conducting this work, which promises to be of practical value to the community. Dr. Whipper is one of our best known physicians, and is meeting well deserved success as a specialist in women and children's diseases. The Woman's Clinics. The following colored physicians have consented to give their services in assisting the promotion of the health movement inaugurated by the Woman's Clinic: S. L. Carson, A. M. Curtis, Michael O. Dumas, John R. Francis, Julia R. Hall, Mattie J. Lee, John W. Mitchell, J. R. Wilder, Wm. H. Wilson, Iona Whipner. The first lecture under the auspices of the Woman's Clinic will be given by Dr. Whipper at the Sumner School on Thursday, November 9th, at 3 P. M. The lecture is given to the Parents' and Teachers' Association of that school. Dr. Wn. H. Wilson will address the Deanwood Parents' and Teachers' Association at the Deanwood school on "Nervousness in the child and how to prevent it," on Tuesday, November 14, at 8 P. M., and Dr. Carl Henning will give a talk on the "Care of the Eyes," at the Garnet school on Thursday, November 16, at 8 P. M. The Woman's Clinic was organized in 1890, to establish and maintain a dispensary where women and children under five years of age, without distinction of race or creed, who, by reason of limited means, are unable to meet the ordinary charge for medical aid, may receive medical and surgical treatment from women physicians. The Clinic is now twenty-one years old, and with the attainment of its majority announces a new departure, the organization of an Educational Department for the dissemination of information concerning preventive medicine. This will be done by means of lectures at schools, churches, and other public places. (See Leaflet for details.) Last year there were 3,552 visits made by patients to the Clinic. Many of whom were treated absolutely without charge. Those able to pay something pay a small fee of 10 to 25 cents for treatment. Medicine is furnished at cost by the pharmacy of the Clinic. Over 5,000 prescriptions were filled last year. Dr James E. Shepard arrived in the city Thursday morning en route for New York City. In speaking of Rev. A. Shepard, his father, The Ree was informed that he was a great deal better. M. C. MAXFIELD INDORSED His Recommendations Meeting With Approval—Rev. Jordan Commends His Pittsburg Article. Mr. M. C. Maxfield who went to Pittsburg, Pa., as a special correspondent for The Bee and who sent such a graphic account to this paper of the doings of the Baptist Convention is receiving the highest commendation. In his article, Mr. Maxfield stated among other things, that the convention should convene every three years instead of every year, in some central place in this country; 2nd, let the Baptist elect or appoint one delegate, to represent each city, or district. Let each organization faithfully do its honest Christain duty by sending to the several boards, the money they need to do this work. At each triannual session, let each State delegates set together with its State board. "With wise leadership, these idle and unemployed colored boys and girls can be made a blessing to the colored race." Among the hundreds of letters that have been received by Mr. Maxfield, there are none any more commendable than the letters of Mr. Harry S. Meyers, the assistant secretary general of the Missionary Elevation Movement and Rev. L. G. Jordon, confident secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. There is no man in this country who takes a greater interest in the elevation and uplift of the colored Americans than Mr. Maxfield. There is a general approval of The Bee correspondent's letter that appeared in the issue of The Bee, Sept. 23, 1911. LAWYER APPOINTED BY AT. TORNEY GENERAL. Columbus, O., Oct., 31.-Leroy H. Godman, a progressive young Afro-American attorney at law, was appointed as special counsel by Attorney General T. S. Hogan, of the state of Ohio. Mr. Godman is 31, attended Ohio State University three years and received his L. L. B. from Howard University, Washington, D. C., 1906. Mr. Godman was appointed on his merits as an attorney, as he is a Republican, and the attorney general is a Democrat. 'However, a precedent has been established as no Republican attorney general ever appointed a colored man. Attorney Godman began his duties November test TOWER HILL A Noted Spot In London Which Was the Scene of Many Famous Occurrences. Tower Hill is perhaps both the most important eminence and the most notable spot in all London. Few of us think what great persons have quietly lived there and what others, equally great, have wept and died upon it. To it, or rather to Great Tower street, came Rochester to pursue his trade as an Italian fortune teller, while the bedizened Buckingham often walked thither to consult a conjurer, a shrewd, farseeing rogue, who, when Felton bought at the cutter's shop on the summit of the hill for a shilling the knife with which he killed the duke's father, may have known for what purpose it was required. William Penn was born on this hill in a house close to London wall. Forty-four years later—that is, in A. D. 1835—a poet lay dead, choked by a crust which starvation had urged him to devour too greedily, in an upper room of the Bull tavern. This was the ill fated Otway. At the time when the son of the muses lay dead Betterton, the celebrated founder of the stage after the restoration, was wringing tears from the eyes of the public, not for the famished dead, but at his own fictitious sorrows in "Venice Preserved." It was in Great Tower street that Peter the Great used to pass his evenings drinking hot pepper and brandy with his boon companion, Lord Carmarthen—London Standard. ATHLETIC DEVOTIONS. Gymnastic Exercises That Impressed the Kurdish Villagers. Everything is liable to be misunderstood, even gymnastic exercises. This truth was brought home to George H. Hepworth, and he tells his experience in "Through Armenia on Horseback." The author was stopping in a Kurdish village, and the Inn possessed but one general living room. In the morning I began my regular gymnastics, stooping until my fingers touched the floor, throwing my arms about like the spokes of a wheel, striking out from the shoulder and going through all the exercises, none of which I ever omitted. I would gladly have taken a sponge bath, but it would have been impossible to get enough water. A plint is enough to suffice a Turk. Well, I got under way with my exercises when I saw that my audience was excited; conversation dropped into a whisper, then ceased; word passed from one to another, and one by one the occupants of the room quietly left. I feared that they were offended and wanted to call them back and apologize. Just then my dragoman entered, laughing. "What has happened?" I asked. He laughed the harder as he replied: "The Kurds think you are practicing devotional religious exercises, and they retired under the impression that you would regard their presence as an intrusion." Invisible Indians. All Indians seem to have learned a wonderful way of walking unseen, making themselves invisible like certain spiders, which, in case of alarm, caused, for example, by a bird alighting on the bush their webs are spread upon, immediately bounce themselves up and down on their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur is visible. The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise or get safely away when compelled to retreat. And this experience transmitted through many generations seems at length to have become what is vaguely called instinct.—John Muir in Atlantic. An Elusive Water Lily. The water lily of the Amazon has very elusive habits. The buds open twice, the first time just a chink at the tip in the early sunrise hours, a sort of premonitory symptom. On the following evening it spreads its four sepals with such alacrity that you can see them move. But the big white bud among them remains unchanged until 4 o'clock in the morning, when it hurriedly spreads its blossom wide open, remaining in this condition only half an hour. Within the hour it has nearly closed, and by another hour and a half the entire flower has been drawn under water by the colling of the stalk. Diamonds. Diamonds were first brought to Europe from the east, where the mine of Sumulpoor was the first known. Golconda, now in ruins, was once a celebrated diamond mart. The mines of Brazil were discovered in 1728 and for a long time furnished most of the diamonds of commerce. In 1867 diamonds were discovered in Cape Colony, and in 1870 the wonderful finds in the Transvaal were made which resulted in the immense fortunes of the late Cecil Rhodes and others. Most of the diamonds of the world are now furnished by the South African fields. New York American. A Crusher. "Yes, sir," said the trust magnate proudly, "I am the architect of my own fortune."

THE GOLD DUST GIRLS. The chief investigation of the Census Office as to the authorship of a poem entitled "The Gold Dust Girls," which was dedicated to five young colored women in the Census Office, and it is said by those to whom the poem was dedicated that the author meant no insult or offense, and so far as they were concerned they were satisfied. It reads like this: The Gold Dust Girls Lis'en to do ole man singin', Singin' 'bout his dusky pearls; See him smilin' as 'e warbles, 'Bout d' sunny Gold Dust Girls. 'Dere is saintly little Eva, Shinin' lak d' stahs above; Jo an' Mattie sit beside her, Lookin' neat enough t' love. Den dere comes de Ole Dutch Clenser Bettah known as Emily; As d' ole minstrel chuckles "Te—he—he—te—he—he!" Come on, brightness, shed yo' stah- dus' Open now a bran' new package, Of the polisher what wins, Foh I warns yoh all a-smilin' W'en you meets de' Gold Dust Twins!

SECRETARY MACVEAGH Stands by the Colored Girls in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Some few weeks ago about four or five colored girls were entitled to be promoted to the trimming division in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. White girls, it seems, who had not been in the department as long as the colored girls, were promoted ahead of them. Miss Jennie Brown, a colored girl, reported the affair to Chief Rolph, and after he had made investigation he ordered the transfer and promotion of four or five colored girls, who were entitled to be promoted. The first colored girl to be sent over could not do the work, which was regretted by a large number of the colored girls who know that there were girls who could do the work. So she was sent back to her old division. There were four others sent over, and among them was a Miss Mamie Prince, who printed 1,500 sheets, to the surprise of everybody. It was decided to get rid of her soon. At any rate the entire lot of colored girls were transferred back to their respective divisions. Miss Prince went to the Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and laid the matter before him, who, after investigation, ordered the colored girls back where they are now. It is said that Mr. Rolph was not at all pleased with Miss Prince for going over his head. She was asked why she didn't come to him. She said that she did, and was informed that he was too busy to be seen, so she went to Secretary MacVeagh, who adjusted the matter himself. This is one of the divisions where colored girls have been discriminated against. but Secretary MacVeagh very soon put a quiet to the entire business. All is now quiet in the trimming division. O. E.

W. last Sunday afternoon, and, despite the rain, there was a fair attendance. Miss M. A. D. Madre presided. Rev. Chas. H. Young, pastor of the church, delivered the welcome address which was happily responded to by Mr. M. M. Peace. The church choir rendered several choice selections. After devotional exercises Miss Moxley read a paper giving an interesting account of Perry Carson Council of which she is the degree chief. Mrs. Mollie Roberts represented Orion Council and spoke of its progress. Mr. Stance J. Trotter told of the good work the St. Lukes are doing in helping to advance the moral and material welfare of the race. Mrs. Sarah Barton, assistant secretary of St. Luke Hall Association, read a splendid essay on Kindness which was well received. Rev. Chas. H. Young, pastor of St. Paul's Church, deserves much credit for the successful work he is doing among his congregation and people of South Washington. The object of these gospel meetings is to awaken and keep alive active piety among its membership and the community as well as to present the claims of the order of St. Luke to the consideration, encouragement and support of the good people of this city.

Howard Graduate Complimented. (From The Cairo, Ill., High School Autocrat.) In securing the services of Miss Alice Porter Murray as teacher of Domestic Science, Summer High School has been more than fortunate in having at the head of that department one of the most efficient and scholarly of the race. A young woman upon whom it can be depended to raise the standard of her department to a higher degree of efficiency. Miss Murray is the youngest daughter of Hon. P. H. Murray, Editor of the St. Loius Advance. She graduated with high honors from Howard University, Washington, D. C., May 25th, 1910, with the degrees of Bachelor Education and Bachelor of Arts. Her training along the special line of her profession has been thorough, having specialized in Domestic Science from the Washington elementary schools through her university career. Miss Murray is generously gifted with the quality of mind and temperament which forms goods teachers and leaders of others less blessed, added to these are special fitness and broad training kindness of heart and general disposition which assures her success in her chosen field. Besides this, Miss Murray has a special bent for the study of sociology and political economy which together with keen interest and aptitude for literature and journalism would of themselves make her a strong force in the educational world. Summer High School is to be congratulated. A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. The acquittal by Justices Moss and Zeller—with Justice O'Keefe vigorously dissenting—of Henry Ulrich, the brutal assailant of Booker T. Washington last March 19, was an outrageous miscarriage of justice. It is but another evidence of the uneven handed justice meted out to colored citizens by courts of law North as well as South. No man could have sat through the trial of the Eleventh avenue gang leader, accused dog thief and admitted wife and child deserter, have heard the record of the miserable wretch completely exposed in court, then have seen his word as to the act of assault taken against that of the Christian peer of any man now living—because the Christian happened to be colored and the felon with his judges white—and not felt that the tribunal of American law is reeking with rank race prejudice. No Fiji Islander could have been present, heard the culprit confess using his fists, pursuing his victim, heard a police officer sworn to uphold the law tell of the pursuit by the drunken dog dealer, and the bloody, battered condition of his victim, hear a disinterested citizen, of the same color as the defendant, tell of the repeated coward clubbing, even while his unarmed victim was upon the ground, and then have conscientiously or legally decided that the dastardly attack was not an assault. No Turk or cowboy could have been so cruel or conscienceless as not to have given the full penalty of his condemnation to so base a bully. No Congoese or Kaffir would have been so unpatriotic as not to have exacted extreme punishment from one of his race's rounders when that rounder had assaulted one of his nation's leading lights. Justice Zeller from the outset obviously determined against his colored complaint, was primarily responsible, we believe, for this great travesty on justice. It was his pugnacious, persistent domination that carried the vacillating Presiding Justice Moss to the side of grave error and injustice. Let the colored people always remember Justices Zeller and Moss whenever hereafter they would seek judicial or political preferment. With an equal eternal gratitude must the black men of America remember the fair and firm Justice O'Keefe, who alone of the three, had the courage of his convictions. Nor should colored citizens forgot the courtesy of the present District Attorney's office, and especially the unprejudiced, unswerving Assists district Attor- ney Smith, who blazed out in diamond light the guilt of the dog dealer and his putrid paramour. Dr. Washington, however, has earned as never before the approval of every member of his race. White men and colored men of power and prominence had brought a tremendous pressure upon him to quit the case, to refuse to prosecute his assailant on the grounds of his position and race harmony. But, listening to the voices of the millions of his people, for the sake, not so much of his own good name as that of his race, he never faltered in the entire ordeal of the tedious prosecution. He did not have the case hushed up. Without malice he insisted upon the court of public knowledge seeing its every detail. He comes away with his Christian character unsullied, the courageous moral leader of his people. To-day as never before, he has the love and confidence of his race. The acquittal of Ulrich was a monstrous injustice. The vindication of Dr. Washington through the complete publicity of the trial is a source of great satisfaction. —The Amsterdam News NEGROES NOT DISMISSED Says J. T. Lloyd—Negroes Will Be Cared For. New York City, Nov. 11. To the Editor The Bee, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: Having read in a recent issue of the New York Age that the Democrats had put out of office thirty-three Negroes with the inference that white man had been given their places, I immediately wrote to Congressman James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Committee on Patronage of the Democratic party of the House of Representatives, for information on the subject, and received the following reply, which I should like to have you publish in the next issue of your paper, asking your readers the question of how many Negroes have been dismissed from the Federal service by President Taft and their places given to white men? And with best wishes for your health and the continued success of your great Journal, I am yours truly, ALEXANDER WALTERS. ALEXANDER WALTERS. 208 W. 134th St., N. Y. City. House of Representatives, U. S. Committee on Accounts. Washington, D. C. Rev. Alexander Walters, New Berne, N. C. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 6th inst., enclosing a communication from the New York Age. The statement made in that article is untrue. At the beginning of the session we reduced the number of employees of the House about seventy-five. It is true that a few of these positions were held by colored men, but the reductions were made without regard to the color of the individual holding the places. In fact, seven offices held by white men were abolished to every one filled by a colored man. You will see, therefore, that there is no justification for the statement that Negroes were dismissed, that their places might be filled by white men, nor that there was any discrimination against men of either color. It is true that a position known as "assistant stenographer to committees", which had been in existence a number of years, was abolished. If happened that this place was filled by a colored man, Mr. Johnson, who, while he had rendered service to the Speaker, had never performed any duties with the regular stenographic force. I will say that there are a number of Negroes holding places here now, and so far as I have information, in no instance has a Negro been displaced by a white man. It is the purpose of the Democrats to treat the Negro fairly and to discriminate against no one, and one thing is sure that the Democrats have as much concern for the welfare of the colored people as have the Republicans; in fact, as a rule, when a colored man wants a favor from a white man, he goes to a Democrat to get it.
