IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. vOL. XXXII NO 25 DR. WARFIELD SAYS IT IS NEEDED. Freedman's Hospital, the Only Place for Babies. The Editor of The Bee. The Editor of The Bee. In the last week's issue of The Bee under the caption, "Colored Nurses" is an appeal to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, seeking the establishment of a children's hospital and the employment of colored nurses. The accomplishment of such a project would be the greatest means of reducing infant mortality, which The Bee correctly states as being "appalling among the colored people." Knowing that babies are not admitted into the Children's Hospital on W street under the age of eighteen months, I set aside a ward in the Freedman's Hospital last summer for the exclusive use in the care and treatment of this class of cases, and I think the Freedmen' Hospital is the only one in this city that opens its doors to them, and many babies have received the benefits afforded thereby. Your attention is called to this because it appears from the latter part of the article referred to, that you were unaware of the existence of such a ward in the Freedmen's Hospital. Of course, a greater number of children could be treated in a hospital devoted exclusively to them, than in a ward of a general hospital, and it is to be hoped that the Commissioners will recommend to Congress the construction of such an institution as The Bee suggests. We have in this city a Society known as the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, composed of graduate white nurses. They visit the homes of the mothers and babies after they leave the hospital for at least a year, giving much help and advice to the mother in the care of her baby. It seems to me that some of our colored graduates should belong to this society. Very respectfully, W. A. WARFIELD, Surgeon-in-Chief. FUNERAL OF DR. SHEPARD. It Was Attended By an Overflowing Crowd. Monday. Durham N. C. Nov. 20 The funeral services over the remains of Rev. Dr. Augustus Shepard, who died Saturday afternoon, were held Monday afternoon, beginning at 2:30, and when the last word of eulogy had been said, darkness came upon the earth. The body was buried by the lightwood torches and made an exceedingly impressive ceremony. The body was moved Monday to White Rock, and lay in state four hours and a half. During that time it was viewed by hundred and hundreds. When the services began, the church was crowded to the opposite side of the street, and such a procession of vehicles was not seen half a dozen times since Durham became a town. It extended from Pettigrew street far above St. Joseph's Church, both sides being crowded. The floral display was wonderful. It was amazingly large, the designs costly and handsome, and they came in gorgeous bunches from white friends as well as colored. The entire front of the pulpit and altar showed a great bank of flowers, and near the rostrum sat a good number of white friends. The conductor on the 1:15 train from Raleigh, stopped the cars at Fayetteville street and allowed the passengers from Raleigh and elsewhere to get off at a convenient place. The trains paid tribute to an unusual event. The services began promptly, and the pall bearers marched into the church by the solemn solo, "Fleet as a Bird." Beautiful music was made by the combined colored choirs numbering forty voices. Then came a large delegation of prominent colored men, among whom were Dr. N. S. Roberts, of Shaw University, Rev. Dr. J. E. Dellinger and President James B. Dudley, of Greensboro's colored A. & M. College, Rev. D. A. W. Pegues, of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute, of Raleigh, ex-Congressman H. P. Cheatham, of the Oxford Orphan Asylum for colored people, an institution founded by Dr. Shepard, Col. J. H. Young, of Raleigh, Revs. J. J. World, M. A. Tulley, V. F. King, R. H. Williamson, Drs. Plummer and Pope, of Raleigh, Rev. Drs. R. H. Harris and Watkins, of Greensboro. Brief mention of the life of such wide scope was made. It was said that no record of the number that he had converted, the Bibles he had given away or the Sunday schools that he had organized had been kept. These undoubtedly stretched into the thousands. He was converted in Raleigh in 1869, was ordained the same year, and therefore spent forty-two years in the ministry. As missionary of the American Baptist Publication Society he did some of his best work. At the service Monday, Rev. Dr. N. S. Roberts preached the sermon, to which was added the short addresses of Rev. Dr. A. W. Pegues, Dr. Charles F. Messerve, Col. James H. Young, of Raleigh, Rev. Dr. J. E. Jackson, of St. Joseph's church, Prof. W. G. Pearson and John Merrick, of Durham. All spoke of the un- usual ennobling character of the dead man. There was read from George McCorkle, a student of the National Religious Training School, founded by a son of the deceased, Dr. James E. Shepard, a poem, eulogizing the deceased pastor. Two solos were given. From the church the procession, more than ten blocks in length, followed to the burying ground. It was a remarkable event. THE CENSUS OF 1910. Principal Booker T. Washington furnished to the Associated Press, for publication last week, the statement which follows bearing upon the figures issued by Mr. Dana Durand, Director of the United States Census Bureau. The report as published in the Associated Press was necessarily somewhat abbreviated. The following review of the Census figures by Principal Washington may be of interest. He said: "The Director of the Census issued on November 9th a preliminary statement of the white and Negro population in the United States as shown by the Thirteenth Census. According to the returns there were in 1910, 91,972,266 persons in the United States subdivided as to color as follows: white, 81,732,687 or 88.9 per cent; Negro, 9,828,294 or 10.7 per cent; all other persons, 411,285 or 0.4 per cent. "The increase of the Negro population for the ten years 1900-1910 was less than for previous decades. From 1880 to 1890 the increase was 13.5 per cent.; from 1890 to 1900 the increase was 18 per cent.; and from 1900 to 1910 the increase was 11.3 per cent. We must not, however, infer that because there is a decreasing rate of increase of the Negro population that there is a danger of the Negroes dying out in the United States; for should the per cent. of increase fall until it was only 2 per cent., there would still be for each decade a considerable increase in the number of Negroes. The census figures also show that exclusive of immigrants there is a decreasing rate of the increase of whites. This decrease, however, is apparently not as great as for the Negroes. The natural rate of increase of whites was from 1880 to 1890, 20 per cent.; 1900 to 1910, 15 per cent. "During the past thirty years there has been a considerable change in the population of whites and Negroes in the South. In 1880 the whites constituted 63.9 per cent. of the population and the Negroes 36 per cent.; in 1900 the whites constituted 67.4 per cent. and the Negroes 32.3.; in 1910 the whites constituted 69.9 per cent. and the Negroes 29.8, 8,749,390 or 89 per cent. of the Negroes, live in the South and 1,078,904 or 10.9 per cent. of the total Negro population lived outside of the South. "There are at present two states in the South—South Carolina and Mississippi—where the Negroes exceed the whites. In West Virginia, Arkansas and Oklahoma the Negroes had a higher rate of increase than the whites. In Delaware and Virginia there has been only a slight increase; namely, 1.6 per cent. in each case. In Marland, Kentucky and Tennessee there has been since 1900 an actual decrease in the number of Negroes. "The number of Negroes in the so-called Southern States are as follows: Delaware, 31,181; Maryland, 2,342,249; District of Columbia, 94,446; Virginia, 691,096; West Virginia, 64,173; North Carolina, 697,843; South Carolina, 835,843; Georgia, 1,176,987; Florida, 308,669; Kentucky, 261,656; Tennessee, 473,088; Alabama, 908,275; Mississippi, 1,009,487; Arkansas, 442,891; Louisiana, 713,874; Oklahoma, 137,612; Texas, 690,020. MINNEHAHA THEATER Passes Under New Management. The Minnehaha Theater, in You Street, has been leased for a term of years by Ralph Mason Tyler, who will assume control and management on Monday, November 27. In future the Minnehaha will be run as a high-class, strictly moving picture theater with admission price five cents. Mr Tyler will have the finest picture service in the city, having entered into an agreement to secure the best and most popular pictures produced. None but clean, wholesome and instructive pictures will be shown. The intention is to make the Minnehaha a popular place for ladies, gentlemen and children. A fine bill is promised for Monday evening, the opening night. Don't fail to see them. A change of pictures every day. Young Tyler becomes the youngest moving picture theater manager in the country. Asbury Reception. The reception at Asbury Church last Monday evening closed the anniversary celebration that has been in progress for several weeks. There were fully a thousand or more people in attendance. Rev. M. W. Clair deserves credit for the success of his anniversary celebration. GALBRAITH CHURCH Interesting Meeting Monday Evening The exercises at Galbraith Church last Monday evening were very interesting. Rev. S. L. Corrothers presided. The choir rendered music, and speeches were made by Rev. Logan Johnson, Attorney Geo. R. Scurlock. Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams, of Abbeville, S. C., Rev. L. C. Moore, and Mr. W Calvin Chase. Tomorrow afternoon Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams will address the Missionary meeting. Read The Bee if you want the news. The Bee is the leading paper. A. B. MR.BRUCE'S APPEA MR.BRUCE'S APPEA THE COLORED SCHOOLS. To the Supervising Principals, Building Principals. Ladies and Gentlemen: Many pupils of all grades have dropped out of school for one reason and another between June and September. Some of these pupils were promoted to higher grades—even to the high and manual training schools. Many were not promoted; the reasons are various—irregular attendance figuring as a capital cause, but lack of interest in the book studies and the need for the desire to go to work having an appreciable effect. In more cases than we ordinarily imagine the elimination of pupils can be profitably prevented by "moral suasion." Conferences between teachers and parents now—at the very beginning of the school year—may convince one parent that Henry ought to be sent to the high or manual training school or kept there, may convince another parent that Mary should at least be kept in school until she has had all the opportunities that the eight grades of the elementary school offers. And in consequence of this moral suasion Mary and Henry may eventually be enabled to live more happy and more useful lives, to be better citizens. In order to prevent the undue elimination of our pupils from school it is essential (1) for the teacher affected to know the name, sex, age, grade and home address of each pupil who has dropped out between June and September and (2) for the teacher to have brought home to her heart the duty of employing a reasonable amount of time and effort to save the child to the school. I beg to place this matter before the Supervisors and Principals in order that they may take it up earnestly and systematically with their teachers, devising ways and means for attaining the desired ends. Previously I have had occasion to emphasize how important it is to the development of our community that as many clever boys and as many promising girls as possible be retained in school until they have won diplomas from M Street High School or Armstrong Manual Training School; such boys and girls become the leaders of the people. And in a democracy every citizen should at least have had the advantages of a thorough elementary education. Very sincerely, ROSCOE C. BRUCE. Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, D. C. INSPIRING CAREER. Dr. W. P. Thirkield Commends Bee Editorial—The Great Educator sees Encouragement in The Bee Articles. November 16, 1910. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, Editor, The Bee. Dear Sir: I want to thank you for your editorial in the last number of The Bee, which I have just read, with the title "Inspiring Careers." Your tribute to the Rev. Dr. Francis J. Grimke is a well deserved testimonial to one of the outstanding forces for righteousness in this community. I have known Mr. Grimke as a personal friend for nearly a quarter of a century. For absolute intergrity, strength and nobility of character, moral stamina and genuine courage of conviction on any question that relates to the welfare of humanity—he sets an example that should be an inspiration to all men. I am writing this as a word of encouragement, believing that the setting forth of the character and worth of such men before the youth of the country must be favorable to the development of sound and noble life. Very sincerely yours, W. P. THIRKIELD LAY CORNER STONE OF THE PIONEER HALL NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS LAID SUNDAY, NOV. 19TH, 1911. A great crowd from in and about Washington, witnessed the beautiful exercises incident to the laying of the corner stone of the new chapel and dormitory, to be known as Pioneer Hall, of the National Training School for Women and Girls, at Lincoln Heights, D. C., Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. There were representatives from nearly every church in the District. The program was a most interesting one, and the addresses were inspiring. Dr. I. N. Ross, of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, delivered a masterly sermonite on "The Chief Corner Stone." Rev. W. J. Howard was at his best, and with his usual enthusiasm captivated the great audience. Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., who was appointed by the trustee board of the National Training School, as chairman of the building committee, not only delivered one of the best speeches of the afternoon, but conducted, in a most unique and beautiful way, the exercises incident to the laying of the corner stone. Miss Mattie R. Bowen, who declared that she stood for "Woman's Rights" from start to finish, captivated her audience in a five minutes speech. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, whose Missionary Society presented the institution with the corner stone, was present and took part in the exercises. Rev. D. E. Wiseman was on hand to represent the Lutheran Church. Mr. Brown came to bear greetings and a contribution from the Fairmount Heights Presbyterian Church. Rev. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, sent a splendid contribution and a message of cheer. The pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Deanwood, was present with a contribution. The Rev. Wilbanks could not be present, but sent greetings and a contribution. Rev. Burke, pastor of Israel Baptist Church, was present, and Rev. Lamkins. Indeed, it would be impossible to give the names of all of the ministers and churches that took part in the exercises of the afternoon. The Nzional Training School has attained quite a reputation for its good singing, and the musical program on Sunday afternoon, charmed the audience that occupied every available space in and about the chapel. Not only were contributions and congratulatory messages received from the District, but from friends throughout the country. Miss N. H. Burroughs, the president, presided, and delivered the opening address. Nothing is more inspiring than the visit to Lincoln Heights where one sees the result of faith and of concentrated energy exhibited in the rapid and marvelous improvements that are going on. The building now under construction will be dedicated the early part of January; indeed, Miss Burroughs hopes to hold a New Year's reception in the building. It is absolutely necessary to push the work for the reason that the trustees are now paying rent for an entire house some distance from the school, in order to accommodate the large student body. An effort will be made to get the friends in the District of Columbia to furnish the dormitories. This should not be a very hard task, as the institution is right here and we can see for ourselves, just what is being done. Ask J. S. Jones for The Bee. LEFENDS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Detroit, Mich, Nov. 16. Mr. Editor:— As an Afro-American defender of the Republican Party for the past thirty-two years, closely observing everything pertaining to the good and bad concerning our "end of it," I feel it my duty to give this bit of advice to those colored men who seem to have strange visions concerning "Republican Insurgency." To an experienced person it would not take the knowledge of a philosopher to tell any one that the Afro-American, north, south, east and west, reached the highest stages of their political importance through good old fashioned republicanism, but it was as soon as "insurgency" began to show itself into the ranks of the party of freedom and humane liberty, that the Afro-American began to lose prestige politically. From a colored man's point of view and as a firm believer in the fundamental principals of that party, I have these few objections to offer: First: Any "insurgency" in the ranks of the party that does not consider the grave injustices perpetrated against the Afro-American, is of small consequence to him. Second: Mr. Taft by all fair means is entitled to his second term. Third: It would be Republican political suicide with a vengeance to nominate any other person, assisting the Democrats in that way does not seem possible. Democratic success to the Afro-American would mean the reduction of his earning capacity, many millions of dollars annually. For those reasons I cannot, as a lover of my race, agree with any one in the candidacy of Mr. LaFollette for president in 1912. Colored men cannot afford to insurge nor try to "chastise" the party that did so much for our welfare, to the contrary, we should hope, fight and urge upon white friends to go back to the Fundamental principals of the party, and wipe out the disgraceful things committed against a race of people whose loyalty is above reproach. P. H. CARMANCHE, Late 1st Lieut. 0th Regt. U. S. V. Inf. On Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 17 and 18, 1912, the twenty-first annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference will convene at Tuskegee Institute. Wednesday, the first day, will be devoted to a mass meeting of the Negro people. Thursday, the second day, the annual Workers' Conference will be held. In the call for this Conference the statement is made that its purpose is "less to teach than to inspire." The first day will be taken up for the most part with informal reports and personal experiences of representative men among the farmer and laboring classes from all over the South. The purpose of these reports is to afford a broad view of actual conditions and of what the people themselves, either as individuals or through their churches and schools, are doing to improve them. The second day will be devoted to a conference of the teachers and others who are engaged in some definite form of work to improve the masses of the colored people. The purpose of the Workers' Conference is to bring the work of the school, the churches and other institutions into closer touch with the principal and every-day life of the people. The principal topic for discussion at the Workers' Conference will be: "How may we Encourage the Practice of Saving among Negroes?" This subject will be divided into five sub-topics, affording opportunity for a full, free and helpful discussion. NEGROES WIN IN FAMOUS LAW SUIT. Turner—Two Thousand Former Slaves Given $10,000,000 by Court of Claims Decision—Attorneys to Get Big Fee. St. Louis, Mo.—Two thousand negroes, former slaves of the Cherokee Indians, will be made wealthy by a decision handed down by the United States Court of Claims in a suit that has been pending for more than twenty years, and two St. Louis lawyers, Robert H. Kern and Henry D. Laughlin, who represented the negroes in the suit, will receive a fee of $1,000,000 or more for their services. J. Milton Turner, a St. Louis negro, who served eight years as United States minister to Liberia, is entitled to the credit for instigating the litigation," said Attorney Robert H. Kern, when asked about the matter. "It was Turner who secured the enactment by Congress of a bill in 1890, which made possible the filing of the suits for the claims of the negro slaves in the United States Court of Claims. Judge Laughlin and I, after examining the claims, decided that they were valid, and filed the suits, which we have fought for twenty years. "About 2,000 negroes will be enriched by these claims, which cover some of the best oil lands in Oklahoma, which are estimated to be worth from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000." Charity Reception.

Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) That women raised $50,000 of the $190,000 total subscribed to the Baptist denominations in Virginia was shown by the Woman's Work report read before the eighty-eighth annual convention of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which met in Norfolk, Va., last week. Kansas City can boast of having the largest district city hospital, run by colored physicians, in the United States. The "Old City Hospital" has been turned over entirely to colored people. A great amount of improvement has been done. The hospital is one to be proud of. Although Congress at the last session took steps to honor the memory of President John Tyler, by authorizing the erection of a monument over his grave to cost $10,000, it has been discovered that Congress omitted an appropriation, and at least another year will have to elapse before this plan can be carried out. There are few prominent colored business men in this country who take a greater interest in race matters than E. E. Ward, Esq., of Columbus, O. He created great enthusiasm by contributing double the amount of the highest subscription for the Y. M. C. A. Over $0,000 was raised in four days. Mr. Ward owns a magnificent transfer business with up-to-date equipments, in Columbia, O. Joseph C. Manning, of Birmingham, Ala., addressed the Bethel Literary and Historical Association last Tuesday night. His subject was "Questions of national concern arising in the Southern States." It is said the scales used in weighing diamonds are so delicately poised that the weight of a single eyelash will turn the balance. Alleging that when he retired from office in 1908 several thousand dollars in State funds in Jackson, Miss, were not fully accounted for, suit has been filed, seeking to have former Governor, now United States Senator, James K. Vardaman, make explanation. The employees of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, Boston and Maine railroad men, are determined to grapple with the high cost of living, and 100,000 railroad men of New England are to form a $50,000 co-operative society and establish a chain of stores. President Taft paid a tender tribute to the author of our national hymn, while in Frederick, by placing a wreath upon the grave of Farncis Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner." Individual drinking cups on all passenger trains have been installed by the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad Company. This has been done because of the insistent demand for sanitary drinking cups by the traveling public. Miss Lucy Beech Jones, who since January 1 last has had the distinction of being the only woman deputy sheriff in the United States, is going to resign her job, not because she doesn't like it, but she is to become the wife of John C. Grier, a Pittsburg manufacturer. The Carnegie Library in Takoma Park, opened last week. Besides the 5,000 volumes on the shelves for the patrons, the library will be supplied by a delivery service from the central library. The sale of chewing gum at ship's stores has been prohibited by order of Acting Secretary of the Navy Winthrop. Ten Negro families left Muskogee, Okla., to join the American colony in Liberia. Each family had one hundred dollars in cash, as the Liberian authorities require. If conditions are satisfactory other families will follow. Curtailment of political powers is given as a reason for the exodus. William P. Fowler, who, since 1900, has been at the head of the Institutions Registration Department of Boston has resigned. In the eleven years Mr. Fowler has not accepted a cent, although the position carries a salary of $3,000 a year. During his term of office, Boston has been benefited to the extent of $33,000. Booker T. Washington says: "For the first time in the history of the school, we are now feeding the whole school from corn ground into meal grown on our own farm." Hoping to find some way to obtain his own freedom, Harry K. Thaw is studying law. He hopes to pass a law examination to prove he is no paranoiac. The claim of China for damages because of the killing of 320 Chinese in Mexico City during the recent revolution, has been practically settled by the agreement of the government to pay $1,550,000. One of the most eloquent and logical speeches ever delivered was by Mr. Manning, of Alabama, before the Bethel Literary Society last Tuesday evening. His speech was most eloquent, and the applause was deafening. The church was crowded. He received an ovation.

Officials Pay For the Privilege of Fleecing the Public. A LAND, WITHOUT LAWYERS. And Yet That Extraordinary Exemption Does Not Help the Unfortunate Who Gets Into Trouble—Coaxing the Accused to Confess. It would be difficult for a Persian who has not traveled to understand American excitement over what the newspapers here call "graft." My motherland, Persia, is not yet quite awake to the possibility of a man's serving the public for a certain fixed salary and taking nothing more. In Persia they take it for granted that every officeholder will "gouge" people whenever he gets a chance. There are no lawyers in Persia, so there are no jokes about lawyers' appetite for gold and silver. If you have ever had a costly lawsuit on your hands you may think that makes matters simpler, but getting into trouble means being squeezed for money, wrung for money, as if you were a piece of wet cloth in a washerwoman's strong grip. This is how it is managed: First, you see, the governor of a city or of a province never has a definite salary from the state—not at all. On the contrary, he pays the state treasury several thousand dollars more or less for the privilege of being governor and of making what he can out of the enterprise. He is not an elected officer; he is more like a "concessionaire" at one of your big expositions, who offers a large sum for a chance to run a restaurant or to provide ice cream soda or candy. The governor (or mayor) of a large Persian town may have perhaps 100 to 150 employees under him. Of these only a few house servants (cook, coachman and the like) have fixed wages. The incomes of the others depend upon the amount of money which they can help turn into the great man's hands in the form of fines and taxes. You can guess whether the neighbors are fond of them! Suppose now you live in Persia. You have leased a piece of ground or you have sold some goods and the other man does not pay. You dun him. Then you threaten him. Then you go to the governor and make a complaint. An officer arrests your debtor and takes him before the governor's secretary for examination. Possibly he can convince that important personage that it is not a just debt. If he cannot do that he would better put all his wits to work to convince the secretary that poverty makes it quite impossible to pay up. This is where many of the 150 under employees get their chance. A large part of their occupation is hunting up facts about everybody's property, everybody's business, everybody's income. They know an amazing number of things which your debtor supposed were safely secret. They produce information whenever information is wanted. Your man's pretense that business is bad and that he is all but bankrupt is brushed aside, and he is made to produce an amount of money considerably larger than the original debt. "Made" to produce it? Yes. There are shocking things that can be done to him if he hesitates too long, and he knows it. So, like a child aware that there is an ugly stick waiting in the corner, he usually does not hesitate too long. He saves his skin and hands over the money. You get maybe $0 to $0 per cent to satisfy your claim—that is, the officer of justice practically collects from you something for his own services. The rest goes to the governor and such of the employees as may be considered in the case. Perhaps you have a shop in the town bazaar or market place and some poor good-for-nothing steals a chicken that was hanging on the wall. If a woman was the thief she is most likely fined—possibly whipped if she has no money to pay a fine. If the culprit is a man they punch a hole through the cartridge of the lower end of his nose, put a cord through the hole and lead him in this painful disgrace all around the bazaar. The officer collects as he goes along a few cents from this shopkeeper and a few cents from that one as an acknowledgment of the officer's service in publicly exposing a thief. Naturally it often happens that some outrageous robbery occurs or somebody is brutally murdered, and the guilty one is unknown. Then the governor's detective agents set to work. Anybody may be arrested on suspicion and examined either as the probable offender or as a witness. If the suspect has plenty of money he can always prove his innocence or his ignorance by paying cash to the examining officers, though, since there is no regulated tariff in such matters, the proceeding may be outfee expensive. If the suspect is too poor to make things right with the examiners or too stubborn to tell what he knows—and sometimes, I am afraid, if he really does not know anything to tell—they have some "third degree" methods warranted to make a man say something. One such method is what they call the "bastinado." It is whipping the soles of the bare feet with slender rods. Often live coals from a pipe are put on the shaven head of a prisoner to make him confess. Sometimes — But no. Probably you would not care to hear any more along this particular line. Persian inventions in this department of criminology are clever in their way, but not things to describe in full detail—Leon Medem in New York World. FALL SEASON BEGINS November 1, at the N. W.

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 midst, and for the direct benefit of the unforunate 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. NOTE: Please cut off this coupon at dotted line and mail it to Dr. John R. Francis, Sr., 1102 Ninth Street Northwest. You may print my name on your list of patrons and I agree to take two tickets for the Citizens' Charity Reception at Convention Hall, December 8, 1911. Tickets to be paid for not later than December 4th. Name..... Address..... Tickets will be forwarded to you.

They claim the asylum needs high walls to prevent escapes, and additional buildings. MOURNING CUSTOMS. They Are Very Ancient, and Their Origin Cannot Safely Be Fixed, Even by Experts. The origin of going into mourning was discussed recently by a body of anthropologists. Some students hold that the wearing of black was originally a disguse assumed as a protection from the dead person's spirit. The idea was that the deceased was naturally disgusted to find himself dead and that he wreaked his resentment upon his relations. Therefore the relations thought that to alter their appearance would be a means of escape, and all over the world vells were used to hide the faces of mourners—a practice still surviving in the impenetrable vell of the widow. The disguises mourners used—such as the veil, the turning of the clothes inside out and the shaving of the head, as practiced by the Alnos—were simple enough, but supernatural beings were always, it appeared, easy to trick. Another theory of mourning was that it was put on to warn people that its wearers had been contaminated by death. There was an idea of pollution attached to the great mystery. All early people shared the horror of death and the fear of the return of the spirits. Thus in the Sudan widows sprinkle their food with ashes to prevent their husbands' ghosts from eating it.—Exchange THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. They Extend East and West For More Than a Thousand Miles. Few persons are aware that the shortest route from San Francisco to Japan is by way of Alaska. Nearly a thousand miles are saved to vessels, trading with the orient by coasting along the Aleutian islands rather than following the Hawaiian route. The Aleutian islands, which extend in a chain east and west for more than a thousand miles, are inhabited by the remnant of the Aleuts. Their war of the revolution closed just as the American Revolutionary war began. So patriotic were the Aleuts, so brave in their struggle for independence, that they succumbed to the Russians only after a conflict of nearly fifty years, and then simply because the race was almost exterminated in the struggle. While the Aleutian Islands must eventually form an important link in the commerce between the United States and the orient, other islands link our country with the vast empire to the north. In the narrow Bering strait lie two little islands, one occupied by Russia, the other by the United States, so that citizens of the two great nations live on respective islands within a few miles of each other.—New York Press. The Courage of Life. The two virtues that help us along most in life are trust and courage. Apart from the tragedies invited by sin and violence and self indulgence, a large part of our trouble comes from anxiety, distrust, apprehension. It was not all frivolity that dictated the answer of a young girl who, being urged to prepare herself for a profession or a definite work, responded: "I'm not going to look ahead and worry. I can do a lot of useful things. I can mend, and make salad, and amuse children, and be patient and economical, and help people to enjoy themselves, and I don't believe nice girls starve." Courage and faith are always assets. Even if life goes back upon them and fails to come up to expectations the practice of these virtues is just that much to the good, and we have at least not lived in the evil moment until it arrived—Harper's Blozaar. For Peace Only. It is well known that the Friends have always been devoted to the principles of peace. As they had a controlling influence in the public affairs of Nantucket, there was no military organization on that island for several generations. How the matter was managed is told by the author of "September Days on Nantucket." Whenever military companies came to the island for a holiday young women thronged the windows and waved handkerchiefs, but there was no rise of military ambition in the town. Once a coterie of young men formed a training company and sent to Boston for equipments, but their elders compelled them to make the first article of their constitution read, "This company shall be disbanded immediately in case of war." Her Stimulation: The pale young man with sheepish eyes glanced timorously at his fair companion. They had sat together in the conservatory for fully five minutes and had hardly exchanged a word. At last, in desperation, he dived his hand into his breast pocket and brought out his cigarette case. "Do you mind, Miss Smilax, if I smoke?" he asked. "Not in the least," replied the young lady sweetly. "If you don't think it will make you sick!" For the First Comer Young Man—So Miss Ethel is your oldest sister. Who comes after her?

It Exists Today In Certain Animals and In Rudimentary Form In Man's Brain. The Greeks were, unwittingly, very near an anatomical truth when they ascribed to certain monsters called cyclops only one eye aplace, which was placed in the center of their foreheads. The-cyclopean eye exists today in the brains of men in a rudimentary form, for in the pineal gland we find the last vestiges of that which was once a third eye and which looked out into the world, if not from the center of the forehead, at least from very near that point. There is alive today a little creature which would put to shame the one eyed arrogance and pride of Polyphemus and Arges and Brontes and Steropes and all the rest of the single eyed gentry who, in the days of myths and myth makers, inhabited the "fair Sicilian岛." The animal in question is a small lizard called Calotis. Its well developed third eye is situated in the top of its head and can be easily seen through the modified and transparent scale which serves it as a cornea. Many other laceritans have this third eye, though it is not so highly organized as it is in the species just mentioned. A tree lizard which is to be found in the mountains of east Tennessee and Kentucky has its third eye well developed. This little animal is called the "singing scorpion" by the mountainers. On dissection the third eye will be found lying beneath the skin. It has a lens, retina and optic nerve.—New York Herald. BEAUTIFUL LEAVES. And the Tiny Cells That Give Them Their Brilliant Hues. A leaf is one of the most beautiful things in nature, and it is very wonderful to think that it owes its lovely color to minute little living bodies or cells of chlorophyll. This word comes from two Greek ones, chloros, green, and phyllon, a leaf, and is used to describe the ordinary coloring matter of vegetation. The chlorophyll cells or granules absorb the light and heat of the sun's rays and in some marvelous way, which only scientists can understand, manufacture the sugar which is necessary for the life of the tree itself by combining the carbonic acid gas of the atmosphere with the water drawn in by its roots. These tiny cells are so very small that as many as 400,000 have been counted in a square millimeter of the leaf of a castor oil plant, and in order that they may come in contact with as much sunlight as possible the leaf turns slightly on its stalk toward the sun. If you notice the arrangement of the leaves on a bough you will see that nature has placed them so that they form an almost perfect "light screen" and catch all the sunshine that there is. If it were not for the constant work of these little chlorophyll cells the splendid trees in our forests would wither and die and there would be no green things left in the world.—London Home Notes. The Secretary Bird. The long legged South African secretary birds travel in pairs, male and female. If disturbed or pursued their pace is about as fast as that of a running horse. They seldom use their wings and if compelled to do so can soar to a considerable height. They build bulky nests, and where trees are to be had they select one-fifty to a hundred feet above the ground. Their nests are built of sticks and sod, lined with grass, and measure as much as five feet in diameter and three-feet in thickness. As a rule only two eggs are laid. Incubation takes six weeks, which is done by the female. The young have to remain in their nests several months before they can stand on their long, slender legs, which are very weak and brittle. The young easily break their legs if disturbed.—Scientific Amrican. Old Time Theater Bowdies Rowdylism in London theaters was a common occurrence in the old days, as is shown by the following from the London Post of Oct. 27, 1798: "Two men in the pit at Drury Lane theater last night were so turbulent and riotous during the last act of Henry V.' that the performance was interrupted upward of a quarter of an hour. The audience at last asserted their power and turned them disgracefully out of the theater. This should always be done to crush the race of disgusting puppies that are a constant nuisance at the playhouse every night." "Which would you rather be—truly great or really smart?" "Smart, of course." "Why?" "Well, you may be truly great and no one ever know it, but if you're smart you can make people think that you're great."→Chicago Post. High Finance.

STRIPPED AND FLOGGED. The Sudanese Go Through a Fearful Ordeal When They Are Candidates For the Ackou Binat. Is the black man more stoical or merely less sensitive than we are? "At a fantasia in the Sudan," says Mr. Edward Fothergill in "Five Years In the Sudan," "I have myself seen the part that a young man plays of his own free will in order to obtain the title of ackou binat (the brother of the girls). This ceremony would turn a reformer's hair gray. "The men and the women of a village sit round in a circle, leaving a space in the center of some six yards in diameter. I describe it as I saw it myself. The strongest man in the village is then picked out of the crowd, and, armed with a whip of hippopotamus hide, he and the young man who is to strive for the title enter the arena. The women beat their drums, and the men clap their hands to the tune. "The candidate for honor is stripped to the waist. He stands with his arms folded in the center of the ring, and the strong man dances up to him to the tune which is being played. He brings the whip round with all the force of which he is possessed and lands it on the bare back of the man in front of him. He dances away; again he advances, and the operation is repeated. This goes on until the number of strokes previously agreed upon have been dealt. In the particular case I saw it was twenty-five. If the man who is being flogged winces, if he so much as moves an eyelid as the whip descends, he is disqualified and branded as a coward until such time as he may choose to undergo the operation a second time. "On this particular occasion he went through with it like a Trojan. Indeed, the man who was delivering the blows got tired first, and the last three cuts of the twenty-five were unsteady and flickered round the ear and neck of the 'brother.' I leave my readers to imagine the state of his back when all was over, but he appeared to be as happy as a king, and certainly he was accorded a great ovation by the assembled crowd of women." STAKED HIS HEAD. The Wager Sir William St. Clair Laid With King Robert Bruce. Edwin Noble in "The Dog Lover's Book" recalls the historic story of the two famous deerhounds Help and Hold, a monument to which can be seen to this day at Roslin chapel. The legend is that King Robert Bruce while hunting upon the Pentland hills had several times started a white deer, but had hitherto been unable to capture it. It had always so quickly outdistanced his own hounds that he began to imagine that it was gifted with supernatural powers and could not be overtaken by mortal dogs. Naturally his nobles agreed with him, as there was no one bold enough to affirm that he owned hounds which were better than those possessed by his sovereign. There was, however, one exception, William St. Clair, who wagered his head that his two favorite hounds, Help and Hold, would kill the deer before she crossed the Pentland brook. Bruce accepted the challenge and wagered the forest of Pentland moor against Sir William's head. The white deer was roused by a couple of bloodhounds and given a fair start before St. Clair released his two favorites. After a long chase, followed by Sir William and Bruce on horseback, the deer reached the brook, and Sir William, feeling sure that he had lost his wager, prepared to give himself into the hands of Bruce, but before the deer could get farther than halfway across Hold had seized her, and, Help coming up at the same moment, they forced her to turn back. In the end she was killed within the stipulated boundary. A German Title. In the matter of titles the Germans show more courage than we do.

Made of Cement, They Are Larger Than Ours and Are a Luxury In Hot Climate. "Unless you have been in the tropics," remarked the man who had just returned from a trip to Mexico, "you can't possibly realize how great a luxury a cold bath can be. It's not that the climate is necessarily warmer than a New York summer, but the natives have worked out the problem of bathing to its ultimate conclusions. They have invented the ideal tub. "On the great private estates in Mexico baths are in use today which were hewn out of the solid rock centuries ago by slave labor. They are located, for the most part in the vicinity of running water and are fed by bamboo pipes, but in many cases they have to be filled by the old fashioned method of carrying a bucket to and from the spring. "In the cities the so called stone baths are made of cement. The residences of all well to do people are provided with them, and they are a feature of the native hotels. They are usually about ten feet long by four deep—baby swimming tanks, in fact. The tropical custom is to fill the baths late at night. By the following morning the water will have acquired a limpid coolness that acts like a tonic upon the body. When one remembers that near the equator it is almost as warm in the morning as it is at noon and that water taken direct from the city mains is always tepid the advantage of the stone or cement bath is evident."—New York Sun. TIGERISH TUNAS. Wild Carnage When They Meet Their Natural Prey, Flying Fish. One time at St. Clements we sighted a feeding school of tuna, an exhilarating sight. A flying fish weighing a pound and a half or more would start from the water and soar an extraordinary distance, nearly out of sight, but every inch of that flight I knew was covered by a big tuna keeping his place beneath the "diler" and ready to seize it the moment it fell into the water. This rarely failed. The moment the fish began to drop the tuna would spring at it like a tiger, turning and losing the spume into the air with a splendid and electrifying rush, a maneuver that was repeated all over the blue channel. The sensational charge meant that a school of tunas had discovered a school of its natural prey, flying fishes. At once the lust for blood and food was on, and the carnage was the result. I have observed some curious scenes at sea, but never have I seen fear so forcibly expressed as by a school of flying fishes exhausted and at the mercy of the voracious tunas. I have had them gather about my boat and cling to its keel as closely as they could, while the air was full of leaping tunas and soaring flying fish. At such times when a school of sardines is rounded up the fishes are so terrified that men have rowed up to them and scooped them in by the painful.-C. F. Holder in Outing. Delhi and Its History Shah Jehan in 1631 built the present city of Delhi, close to the old Delhi, and made it the royal residence. The Mohammedans still call it Shahjehanabad, the "city of the king of the world." Nadir Shah, the Persian usurper, captured it in 1730, massacred thousands of the inhabitants and bore away plunder to the value of nearly $100,000,000, including the famous peacock throne and the great Kohinoor diamond. The British first came into control in 1653, when the Muharrattas were defeated near Delhi by Lord Lake. When the sepy muttiny broke out in 1677 Shah Mohammed Jahadour, then ninety years old, took command of the city and until the English again triumphed enjoyed the imperial state to which he had long been a stranger. Harriman Told Him. Harriman had an almost supernatural instinct for knowing what was going on and who was doing it in the mysteries of stock manipulation. Once when Southern Pacific had been going up fast, Harriman and various banking houses buying in concert, he called up on the telephone one of his private brokers. "Somebody is selling," he said. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "Well, hand the market 25,000 for me." Immediately he called up the head of a banking firm much interested in the market. "Who's selling Southern Pacific?" he asked. "I don't know; we haven't been able to find out," was the answer. "I'll tell you," snapped Harriman; "it's your house." And he cut off the connection before any reply to him could be made.—Exchange.

Discussing the question of reducing the South's representation in National Conventions, The Washington Times, which is an advocate of this reduction proposition, in its last Sunday's issue, had the following to say: "These views have been expressed at various times, as unalterably opposed to such a reduction of Southern representation in Congress. The two cases are not parallel. It would be unfair and revolutionary to deny to States their fair proportion of representation, according to population, in Congress. It would impose taxation without representation." In stating that "the two cases are not parallel "The Times fails to recognize the fact that the reduction it advocates is to equalize representation upon the basis of numerical strength, and this does make the "two cases parallel," and not only parallel but identical in so far as principle enters. In stating that "it would be unfair and revolutionary to deny the States their fair proportion of representation in Congress," and that "it would impose taxation without representation," The Times in advocating a reduction of the South's representation in Republican National Conventions, while opposing a reduction of representation in Congress, is not only inconsistent, but admittedly unfair. Congressional representation is presumed to be based upon a voting population, and a voting population embraces, under the constitution, all American citizens twenty-one years of age or over. In all the Southern States the Negro is a citizen, under the constitution, but his right of suffrage is arbitrarily, and unlawfully denied him, although he is taxed for the support of the commonwealth exactly as the whites are taxed. He is taxed, in the Southern States, without representation, and if The Times is opposed to taxation without representation, why does it not, to be consistent, oppose taxing Negro citizens of the South when denied representation? And why does not The Times advocate suffrage for all who are of legal age and are American citizens, and who are taxed? INSPIRING CAREERS. It matters not how far down life's ladder is the first rung, the last rung at the top-only requires energy, earnestness, and keeping everlastingly-at-it to reach, and the reaching of it is but a matter of a few years, leaving a wide margin of years in which to radiate the sunshine of good influence and uplift. In the man who succeeds there must be an element of worth, for success is only restricted to the degree we environ our worth. This ought to be impressed upon each and every young colored man who aspires to do and to be something, and the best way to impress it upon them is to keep before them, to call to their attention such men and women of the race who have made success—who have carved out of the rough stone of lowly beginning the fine statue of high achievement. In an address Prof. L. B. Moore, of Howard University, once made, he said: "Don't cease to grow." Because he has fitted that expression to himself, because he has ever kept that sentiment before him, he has grown, and grown to such proportions that his career, "starting where nothingness and hopelessness stand hitched," offers a fitting inspiration for the more than a thousand colored students who attend Howard, and for the many more thousands distributed throughout the land. Apparently, Prof. Moore's rise was a slow, tedious, tortuous path, made rough by near-insurmountable obstacles, but he plowed his way through the A. M. Association schools; won his way through Fisk University; made his way through the post-graduate course of the University of Pennsylvania, and later achieved the eminence which belongs to the man who succeeds to a place on the faculty of that splendid institution—Howard University. The career of Prof. Moore is replete with encouragement and inspiration for every young man whose complexion classifies him as a Negro, whether American Negro or not. REV. A. SHEPARD DEAD. It is with sadness that The Bee announces the death of Rev. A. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., the father of our young and distinguished friend, Dr. James E. Shepard. Rev. Shepard died Saturday afternoon, and was buried Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock P. M. Information reaches us that all Durham is in mourning. His death and loss to the people is not only felt in Durham, N. C., but throughout the country wherever this distinguished divine is known. There are hundreds of North Carolinians in this city who keenly feel the death of this divine. The Bee office was the information bureau in answering calls from inquiring friends and acquaintances. The news of his death reached this office Saturday afternoon, and indeed it was a shock, because we personally and intimately knew this descipe of Christ to be a noble and upright Christian. North Carolina loses a valuable citizen, Durham, his home, loses, a most loving citizen, the White Rock Baptist Church, of which Rev. Shepard was pastor and loved by his congregation loses a man whose place cannot soon be filled. He was a loving husband, a father whose children loved him. Rev. Shepard lived above suspicion. His life was one of purity and usefulness to humanity. His death is a loss to Durham, N. C., and it is hoped when White Rock Baptist Church calls a successor to this noble character he may be a man who has lived the life of Rev. Shepard, and be an example to his people as he has been to the people of Durham. The Bee joins with hundreds of North Carolinians in this city in tendering its condolence to the family of the deceased. But, why should we weep "Sorrow never could revive the dead, so we must weep because we weep in vain." THE MORAL MAN. Sometimes the inquisitor asks who the moral man is. The Bee finds the moral man to be he who talks about the immorality of his associates or other people and commits acts of immorality himself. The moral man is he who warns other people against another man and on the sly is the keeper of a mistress. The moral man pretends to the seeing public that he is above immorality, can be seen out of the city in search of prey. Not males. The so-called moral man is a hypocrite and a dangerous factor in society. Some people dislike a man because others do, and all that is said against him. A man who is easily convinced or persuaded by expert testimony is a knave and a fool. The so-called moral man believes everybody is immoral but himself. Beware of the moral (?) man, as he is a faker. Don't be misled by praise in Washington. Ninety per cent of praise is mere flattery. The three degrees in medical treatment are—positive, ill; comparative, pill; superlative, bill. It's a thin-skinned man who can't stand fair criticism, and the man who rebells against fair, honest criticism is too frequently guilty as charged. President Taft remains calm and uncommunicative in the face of all the articles the redoubtable Colonel aims at him. That's commendable, and displays the man. Judge Pugh, always a fair man in cases effecting the Negro, according to our judgment, erred when he held Cook for the grand Jury in the blackmailing case brought by Mrs. McFarland. The evidence deduced was of such a nature as to seriously reflect upon the fair plaintiff, without incriminating the defendant. Cook was simply guilty of killing the goose that was laying golden eggs for him. That's all. DURHAM ASSOCIATION REPRESENTED BY FLOAT. (From "The Durham Sun.") The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, the well-known colored people's insurance company of Durham, had an attractive float at the Georgia colored state fair held at Atlanta recently. The float attracted many favorable comments. The Atlanta Journal had the following to say: "Some of the most notable floats in the parade were those representing the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, of Durham, N. C.; The Union Mutual Aid Association, of Mobile, Ala.; The Atlanta Mutual Society, of Atlanta; Pilgrim Life and Health Association; of Augusta; four insurance organizations doing business in this state among the negroes. "Other floats represented the Ballard school, Edward Redding Fish House, the Baptist organizations in the various franernal organizations in the city. There were also in the parade a number of social clubs and private vehicles. "The constant rain has hampered the management considerably in having all exhibits ready for opening. The woman's department occupies the entire space in the art building and is attractive and creditable in every respect. The agricultural exhibits vie with the woman's exhibits in attracting attention from the visitors. "One of the most attractive and complete exhibits of the fair has been placed by the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, N. C., of which W. B. Mathews, of Atlanta, is state manager. For the opening of the fair, John Merrick, president: Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary, and C. C. Spaulding, general manager, came to Macon. The three of them, who are at the head of the largest negro insurance company in the world, expressed themselves as being pleased with the remarkable showing made by the negroes of Georgia in this fair." HE HAD WRONG RELIGION. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 8.-Alonso E. Twine, the colored attorney who was arrested recently by the police on the streets as a person "of unsound mind" was yesterday taken to Columbia as a patient for the colored ward of the Hospital for the Insane. The commitment papers were made out by Judge of Probate George D. Bryan. Twine was examined by a board consisting of two physicians on Wednesday and, after a thorough investigation, was declared insane and recommended for commitment to the asylum for the insane in Columbia. Lawyer Twine in a native of Charleston, where his father and mother still live. He is a graduate of Claffin University at Orangeburg. Among the colored people of Charleston he was considered a brilliant young man, and was constantly in demand by the intelligent classes for addresses and lectures. He always measured up to the expectation of his audiences. His parents are members of the Old Bethel M. E. Church on Calhoun St. and Lawyer Twine was brought up in the Sabbath School of that church. He afterwards became a member and a trustee of the Old Bethel. But not long since one Prof. Gregory of Washington, D. C. came to Charleston and introduced a new and a strange kind of religion. This religion is called the "religion of Bahai" and Twine turned aside and forsook the faith of his fathers and accepted it. It is thought in Charleston that his espousing this new religion is the cause of his losing his mind. ATLANTIC CITY POLITICIANS Call in a Large Touring Car—Editor of the Bee Surprised. About 4:30 P. M. Tuesday afternoon a large tourin gear, owned by Mr. W. Shirley Stafford, of Atlantic City, N. J., drove to The Bee office in full force. The car contained Messrs. W. Shirley Stafford, John H. Johnson, L. A. Kilby, Wm. H. Ford, Geo. Henderson, Al. Brown, and Jas. A. Lightfoot. These Atlantic City politicians drove all the way from Atlantic City, N. J., in this five thousand dollar touring car of Mr. Stafford's. They had visited several States and cities before they reached this city. These distinguished politicians had just won a great victory in Atlantic City, and they took this means to celebrate it. Many of the tourists, after arriving in this city, and after having been entertained by their many friends, took different routes for places elsewhere, but only three of the company returned to Atlantic City. Mr. Lightfoot left in the evening for Palm Beach, Fla., where he will remain two or three weeks. It was a jolly crowd, and every attention was paid them by their numerous friends. They are all happy over their Atlantic City victory. DuBois' New Book Send for a copy of DuBois' new book. It is a gem. A. C. McClurg & Co. are the publishers. See 'advertisement in another column of The Bee. Lecture. For the. benefit of the Stoddard Baptist Home, Sunday evening, Nov. 26, at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, V street between Second and Third Northwest, an excellent program has been prepared, consisting of short talks, singing, etc. Rev. A. H. Cathel is pastor. Public Men And Things Public Men And Things I've been hearing a rumor that the Mu-So-Lit Club, at its last meeting, tied the can to Dan Murray, Richard Horner and Charley Fillmore. In polite English, the club made them hit the down-and-out trail—dropped them from its membership rolls. Now this is what "we uns" who live on the border of Lake Tippigary, not far from the castle of Kilkarny, would call a "low down dirty Irish trick, begob." I've been investigating the rumor, and although the members are very reticent, and decline to discuss the incident, yet they freely admit that they went and done it. It is usually customary, however, in all organizations where the membership is made up of replicas in bronze, to make public all private doings of the organization. Even bronzed masons who swear they will gamble to the tother end of a filmsy cabel to do it, and bronzed Odd Fellows—why they simply revel in the publicity of secrets. The only real colored organization that I ever came in contact with that kept all its doings secret, and never told a soul what it did, was an organization composed of deaf and dumb people. *** But getting back to my mutual friends Dan Murray and Richard Horner, whom I have known for several years, especially Dan Murray who is an old cit—nearly so, I think the Mu-So-Lits fail to cover, themselves with glory when they passed these two worthies over the Ouster Trust. Dan Murray can buy and sell, in jobs, some of the people who wear a Musolit badge in order to climb into mauve society, and he has more brains i n few days than some of them ever figured on having. Why he's a real author in embryo—been for years compiling a Negro Bibliology. Now it aint to be expected that a busy man can always remember that he owes 25 cents as dues to a black and tan organization for the privilege of hearing some weeping will sigh in broken English. And Mr. Horner's position as a Board member, as an attorney who has an occasional client ought to have entitled him to the consideration that would have writ into his case the Supreme Court's term, "reasonable." But mebble these two gentlemen feel they are just as well off out of the club as in it, and I reckon they will exist just the same. I heard two supposed members, who doubtless broke into the organization under false pretenses, and through suspicion, gloating over the dropping of Murray and Horner. They were a couple of fellows that never would recognize an idea if it paraded down Pennsylvania avenue behind the Philippine bank. As near as I understand, the name of the club is a contraction or abbreviation of the words "musical," "social," and "literary," and yet it has members who couldn't qualify under either. I may be a little prejudiced myself because about two or three years ago when my name was presented for membership they had no room for me. Now I just naturally have a bit of justice lerking around my anatomy, and so therefore can't stomach a few over-due promissory notes who think they are discrediting their betters when they drop them from an organization that appropriates all the halos in cold storage fit to be worn by real musical, social" and literary celebrites. The Mu-So-Lits have some members who couldn't tell a musical note from a ten percent's note; who wouldn't be recognized in the social circles of a deserted island, and don't know any more about literature than an almond-eyed celestial laundryman knows about. Sanskrit. And yet it is just such fellows who after prying their way into a fine organization with a jimmy think they own the town and rule the people therein. Many of the Mu-So-Lits are hang-up fellows, but it is the dizzy waltzers, the chicken reelers who are darkening the hole. Dan Murray and Richard Horner are peaches and cream compared with a filligree of limberger cheese along side some of the fellows who are gloating over dropping them from the Mu-So-Lits. After this, I know there aint no use of my trying again to get in the club. ** Have you seen a copy of the new publication, "The Black Pen?" Youaint? Well then I envy your peace of mind. It has been said "see Venice and die." That used to be a favorite expression of aesthetic parisis. Now the slogan is "see the Black Pen and become a somnambulist." I secured a copy Tuesday, solemnly preceded to my $27.50 per month palace, methodically climbed the steps to my library de lux, "sitzen" me down in my student chair, and proceeded to inspect The Black Pen. My first introduction was to an eagle's nest of contributing editors, or rather a staff all of whom wore long tails to their names—heavy, bushy, long tails, such as D. D., L. L. B., B. S., and A. M. Jesse Lawson, the New Jersey mosquito, who has glued an A. M. on to his name, will write heavy metaphysical articles, and indigestible articles on the occult force, or something like that. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, who once again brings out that old D. D. pennon and hitches it to his name, is advertised to contribute articles on "Religion," something we are all long on in theory, but might darn short on in practice. Then there is Alfce McDowell, who went them all one better on initials, by tieing L. L. B. to his name, who will do heavy editor-in-chief work. Now if McDowell's printer should make a mistake, some time, and set his given name up like this—A. Few, what a racket you would hear. Now The Black Pen isn't a pointed pen—its a stub pen. It's so heavy with abstract biferness—that's a new one on you, that I predict it will hardly have the circulation which The Black Cat has. In the first number Prof. Hart has a belated, though a mighty well written article on "The Philosophy of the Coatesville Lynching," Jim Waters, who now imagines he's a literary hero ever since The Post. published his testimonial to Roseoce Bruce, writes glibly, and rovingly, about "Race Pioneers in the North." Now I believe there is an opening here for a bright, wide-awake colored magazine, of The Black Pen dimensions, but to a success The Black Pen will have to throw out some of the ballast it is carrying, get articles that people outside of St. Elizabeth will understand, keep Jesse Lawson from gliding into the etheral atmosphere of highbrowism; drop some of those tails to names, and just hustle around down here where we everyday readers hibernate. For the Christmas number, Dr. E. Mayfield Boyle, a "dinge" from the land of the midnight sun, is advertised to contribute an article on "West Africa Ferment," when an article on Corn Ferment would sell better. Rev. J. Malton Waldenron will quiet the sinners with art-opaque article on "Modern Religion and Color Prejudice"; Armond Scott, seated in his new automobile, (suppose you know Armond has worked up to a real bird of a car) will ride through "The Negro as a Lawyer," and Bob Wearling will inflict "As We See It" on an unsuspecting public once again. But seriously speaking, The Black Pen might be made to write legibly, if the feudal lords behind it know where to dig up the coin to keep it going, and don't get scared because they fail to secure more than five subscribers the first year. I'm wishing them success, and hope they wont attempt to get it out oftener than once a month. It's a promising babe, and deserves your patronage. When will Bethel Literary hand the cheap white man, Manning, an invitation to stay away. I never had a very high opinion of a white man who runs with colored people all the time, and wears a hand-me-down suit of clothes worth about $10 in Confederate money. When a white man just lays around Negroes all the time, he's working for something for himself. Who wants to hear Manning? Echo reverberates the answer vociferously down the avenue of Intelligence—Nobody!! KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Syracuse Lodge, No. 5, Knights of Pythias, Jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Austria, at its regular meeting Thursday, November 6, 1911, at its Castle Hall, 1729 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, conferred the first degree, known as the rank of page, upon Dictor Philip Broome Brooks, M.

The Grand Matron Hon Lt. Florida Minor and her cabinet paid their annual visit to Queen of Sheba, No. 3 on Monday evening and was cordially received by the Royal Matron, Hon.

Cond'd's. Candidate—Mary Edmonds, Charity Pairy—Louis H. Patterson, R. P Prejudice Against Negro Attorney Repudiated—Daughter Vindicated One of the hardest fought divorce cases recently heard in the courts of the District of Columbia, was the case of Robert Johnson vs. Beulah Johnson, in which Johnson brought suit against his wife for absolute divorce, charging her with misconduct. Attorney Tracy L. Jeffords represented the husband, Robert Johnson, and Attorney Armond W. Scott represented Mrs. Johnson,' the defendant. When the case came on for the taking of testimony in his behalf, before Examiner in Chancery. Lawyer Scott succeeded in completely routing these detective witnesses, and proved by Johnson's witnesses, that the person whom they declared to be the wife, and whom they testified they saw go into the Piedmont House with a man, was not Mrs. Johnson, the wife of the plaintiff, but another woman altogether. On Friday morning last, the husband's case against Mrs. Johnson was dismissed. The Bee takes a special pride in this victory won by Lawyer Scott, because it again demonstrates the fact that a Negro lawyer can get the same results in the courts as a white lawyer, if he knows the law and has the ability to properly present his case. Mrs. Bell Harris, the mother of Mrs. Beulah Johnson, who employed Lawyer Scott to defend her daughter, informed a representative of The Bee that while this case was in progress, she was besieged by numbers of Negroes who did everything in their power to discourage her because she had intrusted the case of her daughter in the hands of a Negro lawyer; but Mrs. Harris informed those "handkerchief-headed" Negroes that she had confidence in the man whom she had employed, and The Bee takes pleasure in reminding these same Negroes that by the result of this case, both Mrs. Harris and her daughter have been fully rewarded by the position which they took in this matter. The Bee takes extreme pleasure in congratulating Mrs. Beulah Johnson upon her victory and vindication. SAYINGS OF OUR BACHELOR GIRL. Marriage is the miracle which transforms a fireside companion into a rounder. Flirtation and office work are the oil and water which the devil sometimes tempts a man to try to mix. To a man, the most trying thing about the modern woman is that she simply cannot help having an idea occasionally. No, Clarice, married life doesn't mean continuous devotion; it means a continuous vaudeville with a change of moods every twenty minutes. Funny that a man who knows enough not to eat lobster salad with ice cream never seems to realize that it's just as bad form and just as dangerous to flirt with two woman at the same time. Good resolutions are the soothing syrup with which a man puts his conscience to sleep; he can enjoy his little follies so much more when he feels that he is just on the verge of renouncing them, you know. Mutual faith between husband and wife is like a cobweb—easy to shatter, impossible to patch up. In the opinion of a cynical bachelor, when it comes to matrimony all men are a sad lot and all women a sad lottery. Charity Reception The United States Marine Band will be at the Charity Reception, December 8, Convention Hall. The Weeksin Society That Board & McGuire used 4,237 gallons of ice cream at their soda fountain within the past six months, not counting the large number of drinks dispensed without ice cream, is a strong advertisement as to the popularity of their soda drinks, which has been built up solely on quality.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. Church about a week ago decided to give an oyster supper at the church Monday evening, November 27, for the purpose of raising money to purchase lamps for the new church. Invitations were extended to all to lend assistance in any way possible. Most every citizen has made a donation and assured their presence. Indeed the spirit of the Blessed Christ exists among the churches here. Mr. Lewis N. Hayes has been appointed by the County Commissioners of Prince George County as tax assessor for this locality. Mr. Wm. H. Silence called a public meeting at the hall Tuesday night, Nov. 21, 1911, for the purpose of discussing fire protection. Mr. Wm. G. Silence was elected chairman of the meeting, and Mr. W. Sidney Pittman was elected secretary. The following committee was appointed to draft measures suitable in the case: Dr. F. J. Cardoza, W. B. Coles, R. S. Nichols, John L. Johnson and W. S. Crouse. The committee will meet next at the home of Mr. W. G. Silence. After transacting other business those present representing the citizens of Fairmount Heights, went in a body to express their sympathy to Mrs. M. Bennett, whose husband was murderously assaulted on Nov. 20, in the District of Columbia. Some of the ladies here rendered a melodrama at the First Presbyterian Church Friday night, Nov. 17. The name of the play was "Old Maids Association." The following "maids participated and acted their parts excellently: Mesdames W. D. Utz, R. S. Nichols, I. C. Coles, G. Silence, Pearl Fonville, W. Parker, H. George, C. Jenifer, R. Bryant, M. C. Saunders, R. D. Mullin, G. L. Payne, M. Hargrove, "De po fessor done some stunts to read about." He regenerated the "old maids" and when they passed from his regenerating machine they appeared fair maidens, acceptable to the choicest idea. The affair was an enjoyable one, and will be repeated. Mr. W. S. Pittman has been requested and is now securing the names of those who desire to set up an Odd Fellow lodge in this community. He is meeting with great success. A meeting in Cedar Heights held Thursday night Nov. 16, added eight new names to his list. The meeting at the public hall Wednesday night, Nov. 22, guaranteed the success of the movement. Louis Troutman, the young man who possessed such nice congenial disposition, but met with a serious and deplorable accident Nov. 14, died the following day. Fairmount Heights mourns with Mr. Troutman's parents and friends; and it is the sincere hope that precautionary measures may be taken to avoid such accidents in the future. Young Carroll, in whose hands the pistol was held when it was accidentally fired, has not recovered from the shock. His mates, as well as the mates of Troutman, declare that it was purely an accident. Mr. M. Bennett, a German, who keeps a grocery store here, while on his way to the market Monday morning, Nov. 20, was murderously assaulted near Benning. James Smith, a white man, is now being held, charged with-having committed the offense. The assault was not committed in Fairmount Heights, but in the District of Columbia, near Benning. The would-be murderer does not live in Fairmount Heights. Mr. Bennett, the unfortunate victim of the assault, is an accommodating, law-abiding citizen.

It was a lively meeting of the Young Men's Protective League. They say that Aldrich T. Lewis is really the president of the Y, M, P, L. If you doubt it, ask the recording secretary. Lewis will have no dictators in his cabinet, ever though they are elected by the league. If he leaves the chair to speak against you, you are a goner. If you don't believe it ask the recording secretary. He has given the league a clean administration. If you have doubts ask the recording secretary. Mr. A. T. Lewis has a peculiar fitness for the presidency of the league. Why, at the last meeting, he was the unanimous choice of the league to succeed himself. Young Ladies' Protective League. Miss Georgia Brown is a logician. She is an orator. It is an organization or refined and cultured ladies. The president knows her business. Two started out while the president was busy. The Bee would suggest to have two sentinels at the doors to keep in the deserters. THE CHARITY RECEPTION. United States Marine Band Will Be in Attendance. The United States Marine Band will be in attendance at the Charity Reception, under the auspices of the Social Settlement, on the evening of December 8th, at Convention Hall. In the forepart of the evening, beginning at 8 o'clock sharp, the Marine Band will give a concert, which will last one hour. Every ticket holder and those who intend on attending the Charity Reception, should be present. This will be the greatest event in the history of the colored society in this city. Dr. John R. Francis and his able assistants are doing everything to make this charity reception an event worthy of those connected with it. Musical by Bethel Literary. The musical announced by Bethel Literary and Historical Association for the 5th of December, has created a great deal of public interest, and it is predicted that it will be one of the most successful entertainments of this character ever given in Washington. The imposing array of talented soloists, instrumental performers, humorists and dramatic readers which appears on the printed announcements indicate that the recital will be a brilliant success, both from an artistic point of view as well as in popularity with the people. LENOX SOCIAL CLUB. One of the best known social clubs in this city is the Lenox Social Club of which Mr. Fred Freeman is manager. Mr. Freeman is a Washington boy and well known among the old boys. This club is composed of a class of active and thrifty young men, who are never idle. This club is not only social organization but it sees that, its members get work. There is everything in this club that will elevate the young man. Attached to this club is a barbershop, billiard and pool room and a reading and card room upstairs. Fraternal Pleasure Club. The Fraternal Pleasure Club will give their annual ball at Odd Fellows' Hall, December 19, 1911. The committee is arranging to make it the grand affair of the season. We hope those who get invitations will avail themselves of the opportunity and come. The committee will leave nothing undone to make it an evening of pleasure. A. L. Jackson is president of the club. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The annual election of officers of the Sophomore Medical Class of Howard University, was held October 16. The formal installation was held November 10, the installation address being given by Mr. Samuel T. Kelley, of the Law School.

While the Shaw team was very clever, notwithstanding, Howard came out vitorious, 5 to 0. Dr. Kay is in his senior year at the Shaw Medical School. It is said that he is very brilliant and has already distinguished himself in the medical profession, doing hospital service at Shaw and also at the St. Agnes Hospital, St. Agnotine School, Raleigh, N. C. Dr. Kay stopped, while here, with his aunt, Mrs. J. W. Pope, 12 N street, N. W., and had the pleasure of meeting many of Washington's best people. He expressed himself as being highly entertained and said he enjoyed himself immensely while here. Dr. Kay is the son of Mr. Walter W. W. Kay, a successful business man of Weldon, N. C. Mr. Walter Kay is said to be one of the wealthiest colored men of that town. It is intimated that the doctor became very much infatuated with some of the ladies of our city—alright doctor, no harm done, we welcome you to the city again. IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. M Street Defeats Storer. M. Street High School met. and defeated its ancient foe of Storer College from Harper's Ferry, on the gridiron last week, by the score of 19 to 0. The mountain lads were clearly outplayed, and from the time M Street pulled off the first two_plays that netted a gain of over forty yards the contest was never in doubt, although Captain Wheaton was responsible for some spectacular off tackle runs. With vitality and brawn to spare, Storer could not offset the dash and form of the home team. Ex-captain Brown, Lofton, Randall and Captain Talbert contributed largely to the star performances of the day. Storer was decidedly handicapped on the muddy field due to uncleated shoes. Messrs. Robinson, Henderson, Murray and Bell officiated. The game was so cleanly contested that not one penalty was inflicted by the umpire. Game Called. Armstrong met Howard Academy eleven on Thursday. Both teams were primed for a gruelling contest, which was remarkably rough at times. Ill feeling marred the game throughout. One or two players being forced out for slugging. Neither side had an advantage, and although an Academy player slipped around Dandridge for a touchdown for goal. The teams were evenly matched. In the third quarter the spectators clashed, through the bad feeling of partisanship, and so thronged the field that a finish of the contest was impossible, and the game was declared off. Lack of proper police supervision may be termed the cause of the unfortunate occurrence. Commercial Ties. Commercial High School team traveled to the city of finished ways and fought out a tie battle of no score with the Lincoln Athletic Club of that town. Captain Burwell and Fullback Beckwith started for the invaders with Campbell Johnson and Bull Jessups on the firing line for the defenders. Principal Murray is to be congratulated for pushing a football team into the fray this year. It presages well for a progressive Commercial High School Coach Douglass and Coach Washington, of the leading scholastic rivals of the year, have their charges in tip-top shape for the impending annual struggle-for supremacy. This contest is not to be solely a contest of brawn, but is to be a contest of coaching methods, sportsmanship, skill, muscle, endurance, and last greatest, brains, mixed with luck. To the average follower of the game, nothing but hurled masses of matter colliding is evident for the most part, and the finer elements of mind, muscle and heart training are not by him seen. Two prime factors, however, are the material with which a coach has to work, and the element of luck. The game will be played probably Monday, and a good game will be seen. Shaw Loses to Howard. Shaw met defeat at the hands of the eleven of Howard University, although that team was minus the presence of the captain and regular quarterback. Ed. Gray was sick with tonsilitis, and Brice was out of it with a bad knee. However, Fullback Nixon started enough for both. It was not until the last quarter that Howard was able to put it over the goal line for the count of five. Near the goal line Captain Brown, of Shaw, dropped back for a punt, and upon a bad pass from, center recovered the ball across the goal line for a safety, which added to the game for Howard.

Kiger Savoy, a teacher in the Washington public schools has served capably on the gridiron. He is a close student of baseball and football and has been quite a player. Edwin B Henderson, physical director of the colored high schools of Washington, received his training at the Harvard Summer School of Physical Training, where football theory and practice is a strong course, and where the leading football experts of the country often gather. Official work required during football games is a most ardous sort. An official should be honest beyond all question, thoroughly acquainted with the rules of the game, temperamentally suited to the job, and should have courage, nerve and backbone. To observe a rule and enforce it on a home team grounds at the cost of the game and to meet the antagonism of thousands of spectators, ninety per cent of whom are ignorant of the rule and perhaps not one capable of judging or interpreting as an official, requires the nerve needed to face any kind of a mob. Football rules are extremely intricate, and the instant interpretation needed to give judgment on all sorts of features that mark the game requires accurate and quick judgment. These four gentlemen are the only men among us in the country whose work has entitled them to this distinction. There are some coaches and players who are fitted for official work, but have not yet met all of the requirements for official recognition. The Central Board on Officials whose action occurred in the past week, consists of: L. M. Dennis, of Cornell University; Professor Walter Camp, of Yale University; Professor Parks Davis, Princeton University; Professor Cranford, Blagden, and Chairman James A. Babbitt, of Haverford College. Charity Reception The fore part of the evening will be taken up with a concert by the entire Marine Band at Convention Hall, December 8th. WHISTLER AND MOORE. - | Two Versions of the Famous Ganing Incident at the Drury Lane ‘Theater. It was in his capacity as editor of the Hawk that the late -Augustus Moore, a journalist and playwright of no little notoriety, enacted an unre-' hearsed comedy with Whistler that created no enti of a sensation at the time. It happened in the vestibule of Drury Lane on the first night of the production of “A Million of Money.” ‘Whistler, it appeared, had been an- noyed at sundry references to himself in the Hawk and, coming up to Gus Moore, who was calmly smoking a cigarette, struck him across the face with acane. A struggle followed, and, although opinions varied as to the ac- ‘tual course of the confilct, there was no doubt about Whistler having ulti- [macetr to pick himself up from the {floor. Each of the protagonists afterward gave his version of the incident. “I started out,” said Whistler, “to cane ‘this fellow with as little emotion ds I swould prepare to killa rat. I didcane him to the satisfaction of my many friends and his many enemies, and that was the end of i.” “I am sorry,” wrote Mr. Moore for his part, “but I have had to slap Mr. Whistler. My Irish blood got the better of me, and before I knew it the shriveled up little monkey was knocked over and kick- ing about on the floor.” ‘The notion, however, that he was knocked down was characterized by ‘Whistler as “a barefaced falsehood.” He contended that Mr. Moore never touched him. “I am sure,” he added, “I don't know why, for he fs a much Digger man than I. My idea is that he was thoroughly cowed by the moral force of my attack. I had to turn him around in order to get at him. Then IJ cut him again and again as hard as I could, hissing out ‘Hawk?! swith each stroke. Ob, you can take my word for it, everything was done in the cleanest and most correct fash- fon possible. 1 always like to do -things cleanly."—New York Tribune. CARRYING PIG IRON. Te WEY SCS eee Were Reee Results and Wages. ‘No work seems more simple, more unlikely to be subject to scientific study, than the art of carrying pig fron. This, however, has been sub- Jected to the most careful sclenitific study. Men at Bethlehem, Pa., were loading pig fron on cars at the rate of about twelve tons a day. Certain pig handlers were given extra wages for doing this work under special direc- tion. An attempt was made to ascer- tain the relation between the amount of horsepower which each man exert- ed and the fatigue which he incurred. Long continued experiment furnished 2 vast amount of information, but ap- parently no law. Finally F. W. Tay- lor, who was conducting the experi- ments, handed the data over to an associate who was apt at mathemati- cal problems. Very soon he reported that he had discovered the Jaw—that fatigue varled in proportion to a cer- tain relation between the amount of load and the period of rest—for exam- ple, a man carrying a ninety-two pound pig had, in order to avold fatizue, to be at rest 58 per cent of the time. The discovery of this law involved a great amount of data, including certain phys- {ological facts concerning the polson- ous effects of waste tissue upon the blood and difficult mathematic foruiu- la, including .the plotting of curves. As a result the pig handlers were di- rected exactly how to lift and carry their loads and when to rest, and the amount of pig iron handled by each man every day increased from twelve and a half tons to forty-seven. Of course the men recelved a great ad- Vance In wages.—Ernest Hamlin Ab- dott in Outlook. Plumber, Mulligan, the contractor, put up a chureh building. Dugn-was building inspector then. und when he saw the church he sald, “Pat, it isn’t plumb,” ‘That made Mr. Mulligan pretty mad. He climbed right up and began to take Measurements. Having squinted down the wumb line in a dozen different places, he was ready to report. ‘There was a ring of triumph in his voice. “Mr. Dunn,” he said, “come and look at it y’rself, Plumb, eh? By th’ piper that played before Moses, it's more than plumb!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. It Worked. There are a great many ways de- vised for avoiding jury duty. ‘The, story'is told of a man who was noted in the county because of the bad- ness of his sou. Finding that there ‘was no way of escape ‘from serving, he had an obliging friend telegraph him at the courthouse. ‘The telegram read, “Your son is no better.” The judze was so amused at the Ingenuity that he let the man off — Indge. ‘A Cool Soldier. .

In alittle settlement on the outskirts of Chicago two houses stand out more boldly than the rest. These two are the domiciles of two Italians of means, who, although being very ignorant men, vied with each other for the social leadership of the locality. Ono day a newcomer, in search of temporary lodgings, attracted by 2 conspicuous sign in the window of the first of these two houses, stepped to the door to make inquiry. “I seé you have furnished rooms here,” he said to the orrertyy man who answered his knock. * “Ya,” rejoined the ‘orelgner, point- ing to the furnished room sign, “dere’s da sign.” “Well, if you have one that’s suitable I'd like to rent {t for awhile.” “We no rent da rooms,” was the be- wildering declaration. “I got my fam- fly in here, and dey take up all da house.” “Don't rent any rooms? Why, then, have you that sign stuck in the win- dow?” “Til tell you. Las’ week dat fellow | next door hang such a sign in his front ‘window, an’ we'n I sce dat I put one oF ca sate Find fa my font inter gust to show da people dat he alx’t only man in dis place dat have his rooms furnished!”—Judge's Library. SEEING THE FAR EAST. it Should Se Viewed Through the Bi- ble and “Arabian Nights.” ‘The best books on the east, as every one knows, are the Bible and the “Ara- binn Nights,” and yet I found most travelers were saturating themselves with snippity descriptions: of monu- meats and places, with tabloids of his- tory, with technical paragraphs on ar- chitecture und the ethnic religions, with figures about the height of this and the length of that or condensed statistics of exports and imports and the tonnage through the Suez canal and dates about the Pharaohs and the Mughals. No wonder they see nothing, know nothing, enjoy nothing and come home bringing x few expletives, adjec- tives and photographs which can be had for a small price in elther New York or London. -. The first thing to do in going to the east is to turn your education out on your desk so that you can get at the bottom of it und there you will find the Bible and the “Arablan Nights” end the “Odrssey” and “Iliad” and “Virgil” and “FIerodotus” and ‘Xeno- phon,” and you will realize what a fool you were not to have devoted more time to them when you were asked to do so. Guide books can get you to the east, but they do not get you inside, It is temperament, not trains, that counts—Price Collier ir Scribner's Magazine. Perfumes. Civet is an aromatic substance of the consistence of honey and {s ob- tained from a pouch on the civet cat. an animal from two to three feet long and about ten or twelre inches high.

He read the second lesson where he should have read the first. As he neared the end of his reading the parson saw that he was in error. He saw that his congregation knew he was in error. How, then, to conclude? To conclude in the orthodox way—"here endeth the second lesson"—would hardly do, as it was not the second lesson, but the first. Nor, could it, on the other hand, be called the first lesson since properly it was the second? Parson Saunders, after a moment's thought, wisely and frankly concluded: "Here endeth the wrong lesson."—New York Press. Very Considerate. "I suppose, Jennie, you wouldn't want to go to the concert Wednesday in your old hat?" "You dear thing! I couldn't possibly think of showing myself in it." "That's what I thought, so I"— "What?"

Daily Bath of the Little Pupils In the Public Schools of Copen- Denmark is one of the cleanest little countries imaginable. In a Copenhagen public school one may see an interesting sight. Mounting the spotless stone staircase to the first flight, every morning you may see at 8 o'clock the children assemble and answer to their names and then march to a dressing room. Here they undress, and each child neatly folds its clothes and puts the tidy little bundle on the floor. Then the children go into a small square room with shelves all around, and on these shelves are innumerable wooden tubs, such as we use in America for washing, with two iron bands around them. Everything is in immaculate order. The teacher gives each child a tub, and he or she takes it into an immense and well lighted wash room. Of course the girls and boys are washed separately, and they perform their ablutions by grades, the tiniest ones coming first. The floor of this wash room is of cement, and in the center is a latticed wooden floor. All around the top of the walls runs a nickel shower pipe, the water of which is regulated by the teacher. Under these showers at the height where the small fingers can reach are little nickel stands with soap and the stiffest hog bristle brushes, which make one shiver. Near by is also a faucet. Each child puts his or her tub under the faucet and lets the necessary amount of water into it and proceeds to scrub, not himself or herself, but the child in front—a novel, sight and a pretty one for a lover of children. But one could not help thinking what an instrument of torture that innocent brush could be if the small fingers that manipulated it did their duty viciously, paying off some grudge or fancied slight. When all are clean the teacher turns on the showers, and they are all thoroughly rinsed with first hot and then cold water. Each child is obliged to empty its own tub. Then the clean, rosy little bodies dry themselves with rough towels, standing on the wooden latticed floor. Each tub has to be carefully put away, the children dress themselves, and they file in for prayers, and the business of recitation begins. —Youth's Companion. Willing to Divide An American newspaper correspondent who followed the government army in a revolution in a Latin American country tells a story about an experience that he had with the general commanding the division. The correspondent observed that in every town that, the troops invaded they would help themselves to everything that was not nailed, screwed or anchored down. This did not appeal to the American's ideas of the rules of war, and he reported the misdoings of the soldiers to the commander. "That is selfish," said the latter indignantly. "I will see to it that when we reach the next town you will have the first chance." The correspondent confined himself thereafter to the writing of "copy."—New York Tribune. Compiled With the Conditions. The monotony of the London postal official's daily routine is frequently broken by the peculiar whims and caprices of eccentric members of the public with whom he is from time to time brought in contact. A lady once sent to her son a pair of trousers by book post, which is cheaper than parcel post. The postal officials wrote to her: "Clothes cannot be sent by book post. If you will refer to the Postoffice Guide you will see under what conditions articles may be sent by book post." After a few days the lady replied, "I have looked in the Postoffice Guide and find that articles which are open at both ends may be sent by book post, and if trousers are not open at both ends I should like to know what is."—London Answers. Fear of the Tree: The first experiments at tree planting in London were sternly discouraged. A. D. Webster tells us in Town Planting that when Loudon built his house in Porchester terrace, Rayswater—this was in the thirties—he planted a sumac by the side of the path opposite. The action was met by prompt and triumphant opposition on the part of the district surveyor, whose complaint was that it was "likely to shade the pathway and keep it damp." In the end the tree had to go. Proper Chills "I've had cold chills running over me all day," the thin man complained. "You ought to be glad of that," said his heartless friend. "I don't think I understand you. Why should I be glad?" "Oh, well, you know, it is quite an ordinary thing to have cold chills. There's no cause for alarm. Just think what an extraordinary thing it would be if you should have hot chills running over you."—New York Press. In the Blood. Willis—Are those Kentucky horses you bought scared of autos?

Traditions of the Hohokam, Who Inhabited America Long Before the Indians. In the beginning the Hohokam dwelt in the land. They were the first Americans—before the pilgrim fathers, before the Spaniards, before the Indians. They were the unknown people who lived in the United States so long ago that their name is utterly lost. In the southwest old tribes of Indians like the Zunis and Navajos know nothing of them save by vaguest tradition. The Pimas and Papagos of southern Arizona, who occupy part of the land that once was thelrs, know that another race possessed the country long ago. More they cannot tell. They and their fathers for hundreds of years have seen what we see—the scanty remnants of ancient villages. For the inhabitants of the villages they have no name except the Hohokam—that is the "unknown." The modern archaeologist describes the implements and pottery of the Hohokam. He cannot do much more, for their houses are laid low. Except in a few places, such as the ruins of Casa Grande, near the Gila river, the very walls have vanished. Casa Grande itself may be the work of a people later than the main body of the Hohokam. We can never know the whole story. Yet little by little we may learn its chief facts. Arizona and the adjacent regions are full of ruins unknown to scientists and even to the people who live within a mile of them. They are so nearly obliterated that there seems at first sight little to repay study. Archaeology begins the task of reconstructing the past. Geography must finish it. Modern geography enables us to determine the mode of life which must prevail, especially among primitive peoples, under given conditions of physical environment. If we can correctly picture the geographic environment of the Hohokam we may learn much of the history of our earliest fellow countrymen.—Ellsworth Huntington in Harper's Magazine. BOILERS AND BODIES. Alike In Many Respects In the Treatment They Require. The boller has a certain temperature corresponding with the working pressure it is desirable to use and for which it was constructed. The body has its normal temperature. Any variation above or below this means too high bodily pressure or a reduced vitality. The fuel put into a boller should be that which it is designed to burn. Differently constructed boilers will not economically burn the same fuel. The body should receive the food it is best able to assimilate. Diverse constitutions require diverse nourishment. A boller should be fired with small, equal quantities of fuel at stated intervals; large masses irregularly fed are fatal to satisfactory results. The body should be fed similarly; overloading the stomach produces imperfect digestion and deranges our physical systems. Bollers are insulated by brickwork, cellular asbestos, etc., to prevent loss of heat by radiation. Cellular tissue and fat aid, in maintaining our normal temperature. Some bollers well designed produce good results with a small fuel consumption; others are less economical. The more perfect the boiler the less the consumption of fuel. Some individuals are so constituted that they exist on small quantities of food; others in the same circumstances consume much more. The more perfect the physical development the less the food required. The above data, intelligently used, govern good boiler practice. The above will also secure health and good digestion.-Popular Magazine. Why the Trunk Was Slow. "I had a most delightful time last summer," gushed Miss Nolling, "but I was dreadfully inconvenienced by Leafandville waltzing for my trunk. I went there by the N. T. C. so as to take advantage of the scenery along the route, but I had to send my trunk on the slow B. C. and E." "But why couldn't you have sent your trunk on the N. T.

Major Ranson's Interesting Account of the Scene In the Confederate Commander's Cheerless Tent the Night Before the Surrender. An interesting account of the dramatic scene at General Lee's headquarters the night before the surrender, when the Confederate commander was still determined to strike one more blow for the cause for which he was fighting, is given by Major A. R. H. Ranson in Harper's Magazine. Major Ranson writes: "When I arrived at headquarters General Lee was in a tent, sitting with General Longstreet on some bundles of rye straw, the ground being wet from the rain, at the upper side of the tent, with one candle for a light. I made my report, and the general told me to wait, as he wished to see me. He asked me if I had had anything to eat, and I told him no. He said he was sorry he had nothing to offer me. He gave me a bundle of straw and told me to sit near the door. "It had been raining all afternoon, and I was quite wet. I was also very tired, so I put my foot through the bridle rein of my mare standing outside and, lying down on the bundle of straw, was soon asleep. "I was awakened by voices and, looking up, saw the colonel I had left in charge of the troops at the bridge standing in the tent. He reported that the rations had not arrived, and the starving and discouraged troops had all deserted in the darkness, leaving their arms in the trenches. "General Lee heard him to the end of his account, and then with a wave of his hand dislushed him. Turning to General Longstreet, he said: 'This is very bad. That man is whipped. It is the first time I have seen one of my officers who had been whipped. It is very bad.' "The conversation between the generals was then resumed in low tones, and I again fell asleep. I must have slept for some length of time when I was awakened by General Lee's voice, speaking in loud tones, louder than I had ever heard from him. He was saying, 'General Longstreet, I will strike that man a blow in the morning.' General Lee sometimes spoke of General Grant as 'that man' and of the Federal army as 'those people.' "General Longstreet replied in low tones, giving the strength and condition of his command and the strength and position of the enemy, and concluded by saying, 'But you have only to give me the order and the attack will be made in the morning.' Again the conversation was resumed in low tones, and I fell asleep. "I must have slept for an hour at least when again I was awakened by the loud, almost fierce, tones of General Lee, saying, 'I tell you, General Longstreet, I will strike that man a blow in the morning.' General Longstreet again recounted the difficulties, ending as before, 'General, you know you have only to give the order and the attack will be made, but I must tell you I think it will be a useless waste of brave lives.' "Thinking I had been present long enough at such an interview, I coughed and got up from the straw and, drawing back the flaps of the tent, looked out into the darkness. General Lee said: 'Captain Ranson, I beg your pardon. I had forgotten you. Go now and get something to eat and some rest. I will see you in the morning." "I found my poor mare lying flat on her side in the rain and fast asleep. It was past midnight and very dark, but I reached our camp, though neither I nor my mare got anything to eat that night. "The morning came, and I listened for the sound of our attack, but all was still. There was no attack. Our fighting days were over." The Art of Embalming. The modern embalmers have not recovered the secret of the art as practiced by the old Egyptians and probably never will. Some of the bodies known to us as "mummies" buried 3,000 or 4,000 years ago are still in a state of perfect preservation. Back of the ancient art lay a religious creed. The ancient Egyptian believed that after many thousands of years the soul came back to find its body and that if it was not found the soul wandered forever in mlsery and wretchedness; hence it was absolutely necessary to preserve the body, and hence, finally, the embalmer's art—New York American. It Fitted the Case. "You should not say lovely cheese," she corrected. He Told Her. "Why did I ever leave home and mother?" sobbed his wife. "Chiefly because your family was too stingy to take us in," he answered bitterly.—Life. After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.—Franklin. JAMES H. BUNDY, ATTORNEY.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary Logan Ross, wife of Mr. George Ross, was held in Asbury M. E. Church Thursday the 16th inst., at 2 P. M. Revs. Brooks, Tyler, Hayling, Hayes. Lawson and Briggs took part in the service. Prof. George Cook, of Howard University, gave a eulogy on her school life, she being a graduate of the university. Solo, Mr. Battle, "I Would Not Live Alway." On the 22nd of October, 1910, she and Mr. George Ross stood before the same altar where her remains lay, and took the solemn vows of the marriage ceremony. They resided in Lewiston, Me. About three months after marriage Mrs. Ross was taken sick, and her suffering was intense, but she bore up wonderfully. She accepted Christ as her guide when but ten years old, and all through life she was guided by Him. She would say that she would never get well, and yet she was cheerful. She was abiding in Him. She had been so graciously blessed in having a devoted husband, whose only wish was to do all he could for her comfort, and hoping against hope that she would get well. She wanted to come home, and a trained nurse brought her here two weeks before she died. A. B. --- MORSE'S DRUG STORE. The best and most beautiful combs and brush the article for presents.

Ninth Anniversary Celebration. A Great Organization of Young Women. The ninth anniversary celebration of the Young Ladies Protection League took place last Sunday evening in the John Wesley Church, where the pastor Rev. C. C. Alleyn delivered a sermon. The Young Ladies Protective is composed of a class of intelligent and refined young ladies. Its membership is about two hundred. The personnel of the organization was plainly seen last Sunday evening. The members were attired in their best which gave the appearance of a great social function. Every available seat in the church and even standing room was taken. The choir of the church opened the exercises which was followed by a hymn, then prayer by the pastor, anthem by the choir, history of the organization was read by Miss Daisy Ellington. She read distinctly. Miss Georgia Brown after the collection of the collector, introduced the officers. Her address was most eloquent. Miss Brown is a sweet talker and a young lady of ability who is a great acquisition to the organization. President Aldridge Lewis of the Youngs Men's Proctecive League was present with a large number of his organization. Messrs. Arthur H. Boston and W. B. Harris of the Young Men's Protective League were designated by the president Miss Ida Dogan to take up the collection. Both men are adept in lifting collections and never fail to make one happy and pleasant. The Bee congratulates the members of the Young Healy's. MUSICAL H. S.
